What does the titan do? Bath bomb? Pressure sensor? Maybe a coin bank? You smash it when it's full.
Looks like it doesn’t do anything. just for sitting on desk or putting in aquarium
Oh man now I’m imagining having two tanks set up side by side, one labeled “before” with the little prop suspended on fishing line somewhere around the middle of the water column, and a second one labeled “after” with a crushed craft little chunks scattered all over the bottom..
Now I want a Titan-wreckage aquarium decoration.
You could print the main body in a water-soluble filament and have it break down in hours.
It's a trash compactor for douchebags.
Vacuum or pressure washer would be fun
Titan Pressure cooker
I vote "novelty vacuum sealer."
Alpaca 3D my main man!
(not really, I don't know who he is)
34% relative humidity. Not great, not terrible.
It's not 34%. It's 150000.
Uh oh...
absolute humidity level:
Ngl this seems like a great conversation starter.
Ehhhhhh.
Stuff like this is hilarious up until you meet someone who had family in the area or who has memories of everyone panicking around them when the NPP failed (said panic spread pretty far throughout Western Europe...)
Don't get me wrong. I am all for some dark edgelord jokes. But the kind where I can choose my audience. Because, best case scenario, stuff like this screams "I'm an edgelord" and, at worst, it leads to someone calling you on your bullshit when they come over.
Its similar to big titty anime girl figures. Yes, it will probably cause a conversation. Think through what kinds of conversations would result and... are those conversations you want to have?
Too soon still. In France they were bullshiting us that the radiation had stopped at the border, while all the radiologic alarms in the fire stations were going off.
Yeah. Some very good friends of mine are a German couple and one of them has talked about how she remembers being scared shitless one day and all the precautions that were taken for the next year or three over radiation and the like. She'll join in for jokes about russia mismanaging things and actually really enjoys the STALKER games, but I also remember how she was very clearly having a mild panic attack all throughout the Fukushima incident and the like.
Its a mindset I see with a lot of American millennials. Our big "disaster" was 9-11. And, unless you lived in NYC (or I guess near the Pentagon), odds are it was just a weird day where you got to go home from school early and weren't allowed to watch TV. My uncle was in one of the towers and I remember the panic as my mother was frantically trying to figure out if he was fine (he ended up walking home without his shoes and we still don't know what happened during his trauma induced blackout). But, for me? It was just sitting around at home with no real impact. And while I suspect this is why the Cranston Godzilla REALLY hits for me, yeah.
But if you were a kid who has memories of your family going batshit insane trying to protect you? That leaves trauma marks.
Oh come on, this is over 40 years ago, and a tiny amount of people died from it.
It's not my thing, I think it's a waste of money, but why would I judge someone for liking the humor of it?
When you want your skin to radiate its best.
And now a word from our spokesperson, Dr. Bruce Banner..
3.6 Roentgen, Not Great, Not Terrible
Break up pencil lead on the top of it and scream "THERE'S GRAPHITE ON THE ROOF"
now i want to make a nuclear reactor model that uses mechanical pencils to move its control rods
Do a 9/11 one! With aroma diffuser
Surely thats a commemorative Jenga set
That ~~inherits~~ radiates a certain kind of humor that could be considered funny. I want one 😁
inherits? Is that really the right verb?
How about "elicits"?
It's so wrong, yet it's so right.
I don't want to banalize a tragedy but it.. Might help us remember it..? ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Reminds me of this like inflatable titanic water slide i saw while driving through San Diego
I'm sure it was done in a very respectful way ;)
Is there a notification list for the 9-11 inflatable slide?
Thats a bungee jump ride
I'm reminded of that Loriot sketch in Germany, with grandpa buying a game for Christmas.
"And when there is an accident all the little trees and cows fall over."
