But where can I get the LEGO pipette.

“it's a dildo. Of course it's company policy never to imply ownership in the event of a dildo. Always use the indefinite article a dildo - never your dildo.”

A lawn aerator?

The way that first one tapers at the bottom, that's probably a conical flask.

My first guess for the second image is a burette but I'm not too sure.

I know #2! I have a meat pounder that fits about right!

Edit: it’s for "klopfing" the "schnitzel". I love schnitzel.

Edit 2: images (sorry about the dirty glass-ceramics) but do you see that bulge at the bottom? Second hand definitely pounds the meat!

Now you're just quoting the porn parody Goldiefucks and the Threesome Bears word for word!

PS: Nice meat pounder, bro 🤜

Clearly the answer is... Jeff Stryker. Duh!

First one looks like a repeater pipette? Not sure about the second one

Another arm? A stand mixer?

Man I miss my potato launcher now

My uncle made one that used compressed air, shot spuds about a quarter mile.

Erlenmeyer Flask. Bottom is flared out a bit.

bad dragon?

Looks like a graduated cylinder to me on the first one. Second is an odd angle, maybe a selfie stick?

"It is imperative that the graduated cylinder not be damaged"

An XXL Chance with flared head and suction cup base.

If it has a cum tube you can still use it as a pipette

Uh... Is in a eppendorf tube...?

TBH, I have a small personal massager I use for my face. Vibrating the sinuses helps make all the mucus and gunk move, like jiggling a ketchup bottle. It helps my sinus headaches.

But yeah, they knew.

[–] [email protected] 10 points 1 day ago (1 children)

I never even thought how much that could help with clogged sinuses! Oh wow I've gotta find one to help that. It's so painful during allergy season!

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 day ago

It helps a ton. Facial massage and neti pots help me survive the worst congestion.

looks like a bottle of ketchup and toothbrush, so: non-newtonian liquid dispenser and portable ultrasound?

You thought the eppendorf pens were fun? Wait till you see their new reward for purchases...
