There were so many crazy patents that I came across that I had to do a part 2. From (another) pat on the back apparatus to a dog watch and the most brutal alarm clock in the world, here are some other crazy ideas that some people took way too seriously.

Someone taking the time to draw a dog checking his watch with the exact same expression on their face as someone who can't believe it's only 10:45am at their job is amazing.
Shout out to @Simone Giertz for that clip of the alarm whacking her in the face. One of the first videos by the now legendary TH-camr.
Let's not forget her "proud parent machine" that its functionality is the same with the first machine Joe presents in this video.
@@antonl21 I thought that was familiar! Yes, Simone independently invented 2 of these.
@@antonl21 That was my first thought!
Did she also make one that pats her on the back because she missed her parents?
@@antonl21doesn't Adam Savage provide the voice clips for this one?
The pet time piece thing is something that's already running in the back of my mind, cause i know that i'll spend a fraction of my life with them, but that comparatively small fraction of my life is every moment of theirs, meaning that a tiny piece of my time is a larger portion of theirs, so any time they want attention, i give it to them, cause they have less time than i do, so i should share it with them whenever i can.
Reminds me of a concept folks kick around online every once in a while, about how in the eyes of our pets and the urban animals we share our cities with, we are like elves, immortal beings who defy the seasons, living for many generations of their kind, in homes that are cool on the hottest days and warm on the coldest nights, with otherworldly food unlike anything they can find in the environment, and strange rules they cannot comprehend or hope to follow.
There was the perfect opportunity to say Singer was sewing/sowing his wild oats
You had me in stitches there!
Ooooooh... that is sooo bad.... as all good puns should be. 😂😂 Absolutely Brilliant.👍😊
Elias Howe was the inventor of one of the first lock stitch sewing machines that successfully lodged a patent. Singer and Howe got into a very public fight, using newspaper ads to slander each other but ultimately Singer lost the patent lawsuit to Howe and had to pay him out plus ongoing royalties as did every other manufacturer of lock stitch sewing machines. Singer was the man that marketed the lock stitch sewing machine the best so much so that his name became synonymous with it and thus people started to believe he was the inventor. But earlier then that in 1830 the first ever fully functioning mechanical sewing machine was manufactured in Paris by Barthelemy Thimonnier to sew uniforms for the military but the French tailors found out and burned down the building that housed them in a riot. But even before that in 1790 the first ever patent for a sewing machine was granted to Englishman Thomas Saint. The invention of th sewing machine and it's progression throughout history is really every interesting.
Cool!
Thank you for stitching all that together. It was... seamless.
you should write that to BlueJay, would make a really fun BlueJay Video :3
Kinda like how some uneducated people think Henry Ford invented the internal combustion engine vehicle, when it was Benz like 25 years earlier.
Thank you for writing that all out so I didn't have to. I was yelling that at the video. 😂
When I worked in patents, part of our welcome session was a presentation of patent designs, and we had to guess what they were for. A bath ladder for spiders, a one-armed high fiving machine, a leash for an invisible pet and an automatic rotating ice-cream cone were among some of the standouts.
My family went to a Virginia Beach vacation when I was 9 or so, wayyyy back in 1970. One of the souvenir shops had leashes for invisible pets. I LOVED it....walked my invisible dog around with me for months.
The invisible dog leash had moderate success in the comedy circles at one point, didn't it?
i got mine at disneyland
8:03 I first read it as “Anti-face-eating mask” and immediately jumped to Anthony Hopkins’ facial appliance in Silence of the Lambs.
The flying cat might protect crops just because it made crows laugh so hard they'd fly into solid objects or the ground.
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Ahah! Reverse psychology -- that inventor is inadvertently clever! And perhaps long dead. My condolences.
The thing that gets me about the anti-eating mask was that this was after Silence of the Lambs came out. How can anybody look at that and not see Hannibal Lecter's no-biting mask?
That's where they probably got the idea 😉
Or Garland Green in Con Air
Those masks long predate SOTL... (Lector's, not the anti-snack mask)
It's less grotesque than Hannibal's mask, but yeah. I seem to recall reading somewhere that the prop guys went out of their way to create a mask that looked terrifying. If so, they succeeded.
"Yo that's Garland Green man!"
I definitely feel like the rocking chair with bellow/air tube was a great idea for its day. I would have put that in B or A tier.
@joescott. The padded headrests for the urinals are actually used quite a bit in bar bathrooms and it's not so much for tired people as it is for drunk ones it keeps them in the right spot so that they end up peeing IN the urinal.
I don't know if that's the original intention of the device but it works very well for bar patrons.
The kissing mask is just another name for Dental Dam which is absolutely a thing some people supposedly use.
Dental Dam was invented for orally pleasuring a woman.
My solution for shutting off my alarm in my sleep was to just get an app that makes you solve math problems to turn it off. Works perfectly. By the time I'm coherent enough to solve the math problems, I'm up and awake.
I bought my husband an alarm clock, where he needs to shoot a target that rises up wit a toy gun (infrared?). He uses it on days he needs to be work early, seems to do the trick. Before it was me, trying to coax him out of the bed.
I've done those in my sleep sadly (or woken up just enough and don't remember it later). Then again, I sleep with a ventilator and oxygen, and I've been known to take THOSE off while sleeping too - which is effort when you have a bunch of straps, tubes, collars, tape, earplugs, eyemasks and all sorts holding everything in place.
the problem isn't shutting off the alarm, the problem most people have... that even at max volume... the sound of the alarm does not wake one from slumbers deep. Wont stir long enough to solve any problems of math.
When I was a kid (mid 80s) I made a program on my TI-99 (old ass computer, a bit like a commodore 64) which would go off flashing the screen and making hellish noises until I typed in a passphrase. Worked great for a few days, then I woke up late and found that I had just walked across the room and unplugged it without actually waking up.
@@JustAnotherBuckyLoverI don't have a breathing apparatus but I've absolutely solved 6 math problems then fell back asleep. I've also gotten up, climbed over stuff, scanned a QR code then went back to bed. I think the math ones are slightly more effective but the real key is getting to bed and falling asleep earlier which is something I'm terrible at.
5:12 "Zephyr yarn is an American brand name for Berlin wool or German wool, used from the nineteenth century onwards. The vivid colours and soft, light texture ('light as a breeze', hence the name zephyr) made the wool very popular in Europe and North America and aided in the popularity of Berlin wool work."
Thank you for providing that information. The wool sounds lovely.
As for food journaling , it does kinda help. I had to do it in preparation for gastric sleeve. As well as calculate calories and carbs for each item. Seeing the multiple things you write down on a daily basis does this kind of psychological thing where your brain goes, "Oh crap, I ate all of that?" as well as, "Oh wow, I did really good today, yay me!". I'm sure not everyone has the same reaction, but it never hurts to give it a try if you're trying to shed a little weight.
Wouldn't it be great to have an invention that lets you pat yourself on the back on the yay me days?! 😉
I used to food journal but instead of a list, I actually had a small art pad and drew simple pictures of all my food, color pencils and all. Yes, it does work to a point. In my case the drawing and coloring was enough of a distraction to sometimes keep me from eating something else.
I used My Fitness Pal years ago to track my intake & it provided me with a valuable education. I was shocked by the calories in what I had perceived as insignificant things, like little snacks or taste testing while cooking. Before tracking I didn't consider them, despite the fact I was consuming the food. Until I took the time to enter everything I ate/drank (alcohol will really rack them up) into the app I didn't fully grasp the impact of my habits & choices on my daily caloric intake. Thankfully, it taught me to maintain my weight. I recommend tracking, even if you're happy w/your weight, as it can help identify necessary changes for a healthier diet by breaking down calorie sources, such as fats, carbs, & nutrients. It does take time, especially with weighing/portioning, but it's worth it.
@@Lux_Lethal It can definitely be helpful for a lot of people - but it can also be super dangerous and harmful. I used to work with a woman who used that exact same app to a very concerning degree - she was not overweight and I would categorize her relationship with food as unhealthy at best (disordered at worst, but I'm obviously not qualified to diagnose). It really just depends on the person and the way they view food/their body/etc - I would avoid suggesting that kind of meticulous measurement as a good thing for everyone...
The worst part of learning about calories is the disproportionate relationship between calories in food and calories burned in exercises. You can run a triathlon and then get all those calories back with, like, a muffin 😅
Oh boy! I was a baker & fryer. We didn't sell glazed long John's, but when I'd fry them up, I'd "accidentally" drop them into the bowl of glaze... "Oops! well, I guess I'll have to eat it"😂 those were good days.
Oh yeah, 14 years as a baker in a supermarket....oops, so many leftover little bits of cookies, well they smell good so I'll help myself. Totally didn't break them beforehand, nope.
@MrGoesBoom 😆 🤣 Right! Did you use bun smear on the cinnamon rolls when making pecan rolls? If you did, did it absolutely stink! Or did you not mind it? I can't eat a pecan roll because I smell it & NOPE! 🤢
Cat on a string wouldn't work. I had an owl statue in my yard, eventually the birds just ignored it, well, that was until a real owl showed up in my yard. Real owl was way more effective.
And all the critters were ignoring the the owl.
That would be a difficult realization.
Like Pink Floyd animals “bleating and babbling they fell on his neck with a scream”.
I have a pair of red-shouldered hawks that regularly cruise over my yard and occasionally land in my pecan tree, but the other birds don't seem to care.
That wall pillow would probably become target practice for people that get close to having had enough.
You make the best threats, Joe. Thanks for peculiar patents part 2.
he called it a threat and i immediately was like "a part2? dont threaten me with a good time!" haha
Best part of this episode is picturing Joe in a red lobster uniform. 🎉
Okay but this needs to be a series! Great job on the threat last time - now we need like 50 more. These are so fascinating!
Isaac Singer really WAS sewing....his seed.
Boo hiss!
😐😐
Barf
N'yuk, yuk.
I’ll be here all week, make sure to tip your waitress on the way out.
Man, I worked in the service industry for 15 years as a cook, and if anybody ever told me to put a locking face mask on I would have punched them in the face. Working in a restaurant is already a miserable existence, like we need anything to make it worse
i don't need a watch to make me appreciate ever second i get to snuggle with my dog....she is my daughter, my baby, my angel so i appreciate every moment i get with her
I spent most of my childhood playing and entertaining myself so I developed the habit of talking out loud, a lot; all day long, even in public. I can pat my own back, tyvm. 😂
Lmao
Funny thing about that pee target. A lot of parenting sources say to use Cheerios(TM) or similarly shaped cereal for targets. Don' need to wad up toilet paper. Just a few of those floaty, oat loops in the water, and Jr's got an hour of water gun entertainment.
Dutch urinals have the picture of a fly at the target location.
AN HOUR!?!? How much are these kids pissing???
@@bcase5328 When I was in high school in the 80's the local bowling alley had urinal cake covers with Jane Fonda's face on them, mouth open and read "I'm not fonda Jane."
Finally a real world use for that disgusting cereal. I call them little cardboard cutouts.
Until your kid starts pissing in their breakfast 😮
you should do a reoccurring segment of these. just one at the end of every episode.
Expanding with as much info as possible!
Like epic patents that just missed the mark.
7:40. There could be two purposes. In psychiatric medicine, before the creation of tranquilizers, calming down agitated patients was a task. Besides of all manner of restrictions, hot baths were used. I remember a scene in the film The Nun's Story (1956, starring Audrey Hepburn) in which the leading character, a Belgian nun/nurse was taught about the installations in a psychiatric ward - including a steaming room with women screaming inside the covered bathtubs.
If you google "psychiatry hot baths," you'll find they are still recommended, and also will find an article titled "Hydrotherapy in London Asylum" with a good explanation of the method.
The other reason may be hydrotherapy as itself. Before antibiotics and other effective treatments, taking baths was one of the most widespread treatments for a bunch of diseases. Cities with natural springs became famous as health centers; books were written about cold showers curing all manner of diseases. My grandad had one postulating sitting baths in cold water as a cure for everything - including leprosy. Unforgettable engraved illustrations.
So, it would be useful in mental asylums or for people who cannot go to a resort to bathe in special waters?
Still yikes.
@@emaarredondo-librarian Agreed with the yikes. I sort of remember having seen in a book recipes for combining different minerals you could add to your bathtub, so you could have a mineral water bath saving you the travel to some faraway place. Different kinds of mineral waters were supposedly useful for different kinds of diseases. Maybe the idea of having a bathtub with moving water was meant to imitate the sea. Bathing in the sea was also considered medicinal. You just added salt, maybe some iodine...
Librarian here. I have seen a bunch of very strange books. 😂
@@MariaMartinez-researcher Adding salt to a Jacuzzi and making it the sea. Interesting idea. 😁
Ok, this needs to be a trilogy. Hoping for a part 3!!! Who else agrees?
Still wishing for this to be a trilogy.
Zephyr: a fine cotton material.
Cat on a string: my cats generally forget How To Cat; while one does make moves against mourning doves, all the cats literally ignore the yard squirrels that have tamed themselves, noting the humans carry almonds for them so they'll come right up to be given a nut (even hopping onto pants legs and shoulders).
Dental dams (A.K.A. the mouth condom) are an actual thing and fairly common for certain groups, a one night stand between two women for instance is better served by one of these than a 'normal' condom that uh.. doesn't really have anywhere to wrap around.
Came here to say this lol!
I mean, also between a man and a woman if he isn't selfish 😉
i agree with the small barrier to eating. i started brushing my teeth right after dinner, just so id have to do it again if i snack... so i eat less.
As my father got older, he benefited from the use of a bar above the toilet which he could lean on with one hand while peeing. It allowed him to remain independent a lot longer, I’m glad to say. So I would suggest it’s not just the inebriated who benefit from having something to help steady them.
1) I love that snake-bellows chair so much. The snake design is cool.
2) Half the fun of kissing IS the cooties, damn 😂
Scotts refining his humor, since he's got the acting nailed down tight.🤠
The face smash alarm click. Yeah, if I were to suggest gifting such a thing to my wife...I'd be looking at a permanent, one way trip to the doghouse. Or worse.
Don't worry you can keep track of time with the dog watch in the doghouse.
Hell, my husband is so damn deaf, he NEEDS one of them!
There's a meme I reposted on my FB and IG that accurately points out there needs to be an alarm clock that sounds like a pet starting to puke, as nothing gets one out of bed faster...
LOL
Pat on the back would look fun with a giant foam hand.
Bellows chair is actually a good idea if made well.
Simone Giertz made on of these years ago, much better than the patent version 😉
@@dahn57 There's TH-cam video ideas in a bunch of these weird patents.
For aim training, I always used a cheerio that was flushed down.
I had a book of these inventions back in the late 70s. I distinctly remember a bicycle seat.
Edit: Is that Maximillian from The Black Hole behind you?
The Pee-Target is quite common here in germany. Mainly in Pissoirs in Restaurants, Clubs, etc. so men try to hit the target and not beside the bowl.
And as far as I know, it is quite effective
What we have at work is a hand printed on a piece of paper taped to the wall. If you need a pat on the back for good work, you back into it 2 or 3 times.
You should make a video about crows intelligence, Joe!
He already did. Check his smartest animals video
@@binkssake7282 You are right!! Thank you, I am watching it right now haha
It was the episode I didn't know I was looking forward to! Thanks Joe!
Cat on a string reminded me of an invention I've seen. A type of scarecrow, it consists of several flag poles in and around a garden. Attached via a string is a very realistic bird kite. Even a small breeze sends the birds (Hawks, Eagles and Falcons are the preferred profiles) fly like the wind (literally :). It does a pretty good job of keeping rodents down when your trained cats go on strike ;). Great video. Thanks
i was believing this story to the point of "tained cats". sus. :I
@@FlaschenteufelObviously not trained well if they feel the need to strike...
@@grn1 cats aren't dogs, you can't really train them. you can live with them and care for them.
@@Flaschenteufel That's the joke.
I made the mistake of telling a kid in HS who worked at Red Lobster how much I loved Cheddar Bay Biscuits, seeing as the next day he showed up to 6th hour with an entire garbage bag of them.
Excited to see this series continue. This is fun. Funny that nothing breached B Tier this time. Last one was a lot more high tier stuff.
Speaking of the dog watch, one day I am going to put a fit bit on my dog and see if she gets twice as many steps as me.
Your dog must be freaking enormous, most would take 3-8 times as many. Also don't forget the extra legs. ( to only take twice as many your dog would be 30+ inches tall )( Great Danish )
6:41 sounds like someone who's never found out:
1: did you know a slight forward lean has been shown to make for an easier flow when urinating, helps more of the leftovers drain out, has been shown to prevent urinary infections & overall bladder health
2: it's actually kinda chill to just lean like that. ALSO: if you don't need a bit of help to stay up when peeing, you just haven't drunk enough yet! xD
Nice transition at the end there. Tim and Ben would be proud
Bread lol. Idk if it's gonna be on here cause we don't often think as an invention, but bread is def one of the weirdest inventions in history. We think it was one of those accidental inventions. Like some yeast randomly got into someone's wheat porridge and they heated it up. It was probably really bad and doughy but maybe they thought they were on to something lol
Wild yeast exists in the air and gets on literally everything. That's how sourdough starter can simply be made with flour+water+time+scheduled feeding. Bread experts say not to use bleached flour, but add a week or two of babying before you're ready to bake and it still works. So some ancient person stumbling onto the fermentation process while trying to make naan or some other kind of flat bread is probably exactly how it happened.
same thing with beer, probably. "Hey my malt went bad, you know what let's try to *drink* it anyway. Oh wait is making me drunk? F*** yeah, I'm a genius"
Aren't chefs supposed to taste food, for quality control?
BTW, I've seen the kissing shield before. I once bought a game (called "What the What?") that basically consisted of pictures of weird inventions and you either tried to guess it (if you were playing it for the first time) or tried to come up with the funniest alternative explanation for what it was. There were some seriously messed up inventions shown in that game.
That human washing machine... Imagine how many of them would have been sold if they were smaller and specifically made for use with children? I shudder to think of the burns, strangulations, and other injuries if not outright deaths it could have caused.
I used to do IT stuff for a Biological and Agricultural Engineering department at an university. Basically, how to engineer farm equipment. Apparently a common problem on large farms is... disposing of animal carcasses. So most of the professors had multiple patents for large machines for doing just that. All of the patent drawings resembled something from the Saw movies. Fixing someone's computer while staring at patent plaques describing "Apparatus for pulverizing animal carcasses" is a tiny bit unsettling.
I can imagine some of these patent writers laughing their ass off while they are typing.
that's me on the written portion of any test
man I've been binging all your stuff again, your a life saver for overnight security staff😂
Like the Washing Bath invention (minus the neck strangler) in stead of using a washing machine, think how much laundry one could wash compared to a WM.
So there is something to the face chastity belt and what you were saying about obstacles. My roommate and I decided that we would cook everything from scratch. Which means if I want potatoes au gratin, or mac and cheese, or even Ramen, I don't make the pastas myself but I have to make the cheese sauces and assemble all the spices, and especially with potatoes au gratin which I would argue is one of the worst offenders LOL. That's like a hour-and-a-half prep time
I'm surprised you didn't use a hannibal lecter reference for the anti eating mask. Would be useful in more ways than one. lol.
Looking forward to the third installment.
That first one kills me!! Looks like just using the thing would result in one then needing a device that massages one's shoulder -- ah-ha! A self-feeding market!!
Toilet training my grandson, we floated cheerios for him to aim at. The standing pee was several steps into his actual housetraining. The bathtub application was for psychiatric hospitals.
13:40 - temporal resolution and critical flicker fusion, coolest stuff to me; direct correlation between perceived passage of time and TR
The first video on this topic was so interesting!!! I'm glad you made a pt. 2 and fingers crossed you turn it into a series!!
"You know how you....." Haha, that got me! Good one. I'm still laughing.
What would be great is a vacuum tube food delivery system like a bank's drive in check tube. Only bigger, about 12 inches in diameter, connected to a local food hub to service about a dozen neighborhoods in a few minutes and you don't have to leave the house, just turn a vacuum on until a bell rings and your little tube delivery smashes into the stop block and you send a signal back and when it is unloaded you open your vent and it get's sucked back to the store. The switch lines are kind of problematic as you would need a separate tube for each resident, like maybe a hundred and fifty tubes. This would also work for laundry in an apartment building or hotel.
Simone Giertz made a Pat on the Back machine. It’s a pretty good video.
TOSS IN A CHEERIO. Best potty training advice Ive gotten and it's a entertaining target.
Fun fact about the toilet toy, there was later a trend in bars to apply stickers of flies to the urinals near the drain. Because the theory was, drunk men like to piss on flies. And not only did this turn out to be true, but bars that did this saw a marked increase in the accuracy of their customers and cleaner urinal areas. Then they asked the question, "what if it's not just drunk men, but all men". So they tested it in more public restrooms and found success. So, if you own a place with a public bathroom and you want cleaner urinals. Buy fly stickers. They are a surprisingly cheap and effective investment.
I waaaaaaas gonna ask "Have you got any more of these strange patents you can show?". But, then I thought.. Yeah, there's THOUSANDS, so of course there WILL be more! 🤔😏😉🤣
😎🇬🇧
Please, please, do the next video explaining things with the Pepe da Silva background!
You have the same voice , intonation and accent, as Charlie from it's always sunny in Philadelphia. It will be hilarious !
Make more lists, we love this!
5:46 Urinal headrests definitely exist. I remember a Newfoundland actor going on and on about how Newfoundland had headrests on their urinals so that when you were drunk you could just "lean in there" and him lamenting the fact that Ontario bathrooms didn't seem to have them.
Also, if I'm remembering this correctly this would have been about 2 years after that patent was granted. So perhaps Newfoundland was an early market? I'm curious if they still have them today.
Those headrests for urinals are S-Tier!! They had them in Czech Republic in some bars and it was amazing, everything was walk-able so no driving.
As a chef who was lucky enough to work during covid, masks did stop you from tasting as often. Also led to some dehydration as you didn't drink as much during long shifts in a hot kitchen.
nothing will ever replace the tactical and strategic genius of that tried and true training method masterpiece called " sink the cheerios". oh, and btw, take a gander at the "turd twister".
My invisalign often "prevents" me from snacking. I don't feel like going to the bathroom to remove it so I don't eat outside lunch and dinner time.
The ball boat sounds kinda cool as a fantasy vehicle. Like a blimp but for water. Maybe to balance it they could have used a hotdog shape instead of a ball shape? But then again, it would still be at risk of tipping forward or back.
Dogwatch is quite clever - maybe not worn by the pet, but kept by the owner as perspective and appreciation for every moment ~
10/10 would cry at how life is 5-7x shorter for my kitten than me again.
That watch would be a good teaching tool for trying to get people empathetic to other species. Also neat is that elephants have a similar lifespan to humans, so an "elephant" watch would be a regular one. Helps you appreciate how long-lived some species can be!
Honestly love the idea of the snake breath chair. I think it deserves a higher rank than that weird ass alarm system.
How about cordless hosepipe, glass hammers, and tartan paint?
I 100% love the urinal headrest. I just wanna relax when standing at the urinal and often lean up against the divider, but leaning forward and just putting my head on the wall seems unsanitary and cold, but a pad would be cool. Especially if it had sanitizing gel next to it haha
The Pat-On-The-Back machine gets an F but the Quadruple-Kick-In-The-Butt machine gets a C. Clearly Joe has priorities.
The pissing pillow is a stroke of genius, seriously, I want one at home. Do you ever have too much tea before sleep and then you have to go in the middle of the night, half asleep, leaning your forehead against the wall to keep the balance. This is "S" tier, we're just too embarrassed to admit it.
Nice idea on the rocking chair/fan combo. Especially for a porch chair.
The boat-plane-sphere HAS to be a toy fantasy.
Somebody had (or imagined) such a toy as a kid, and never met reality.
Pat on the back reminded me of my "oh Babee, you are zee best" button I had on my PC for great coding at 2am, when there's NEVER anyone around to tell you what a genius you are!
13:45 The most honest and true thing I can possibly say is that I have never once thought about how long beavers live. Would have guessed 5 years? 100 maybe?
The invention of the sewing machine is a super convoluted story! Abby Cox did a very entertaining video about it. I highly recommend.
During that time of the pandemic, I was at work in the cafeteria at lunchtime and saw one of my coworkers try to put some food in his mouth while he still had a mask on. He caught himself then started laughing! It was just what we all thought could happen.
Snake Chair but it's a quartz glass three stage vacuum bearing with a weighted pully flywheel with a quiet but maybe thumpy ratchet. Buffer to as high of a PSI as you can get in the third stage and put four levers like a 50's dodge AC control on the side of one arm rest. Boden cable to controll ducts to TWIN SNAKE HEADS that move around like the water spraying things on CNC mills. Put one of those crazy venturi pipes... I forget what they are called. The thing where high pressure air just goes super hot out one side and freezing cold. You can blow heat or cold or both from the twin snakes. Fire and Ice. Chaos and Order. Bing and Purge. But you can also dump either into some radiant heating in the butt and back. Try to balance it like the classic Eames Lounge where the back and seat are square with that tip up. The newer repros have a spring in the lean back and slightly higher seats and are more comfortable... but this is a stupid idea so I'm going purist. Spherocube in beautiful reclaimed laminated cherry. Twin Snakes Chair. Keep an eye out. I'm gonna make one and if I make one I'll probably have to make a hundred and I'm fine if that's all I do with the rest of my life. Try to find a way via pressure or electricity from a dead simple generator so the snakes can be directed to the right place but also have a bit of random but limited natural motion like they are your creepy buddies.
Twin Snakes Chair. Fire and Ice. Relax your back but balance it perfect like really wank on efficiency.
Thanks Joe for making Patents funny and interesting. There are few more you can "examine" that I think you will like. There's a patent for a stick, a patent for swinging on a swing 😂. Plus you have only touched on what has been patented...there is a lot of good material in the PGPubs as well. Maybe you could reach out to the USPTO to see if they would be if any help/interested in identifying applications/Patents for your consideration. Another great video! Nooice! 😎 STOC
For a good alternative for the toilet toy... Cheerios. If you have a low flow toilet, they don't even need to be refreshed that often.
These are great! We want more!
Regarding the Toilet Toy, what's wrong with just playing "Sink the Cheerios?" They float, they are a good target, and they're flushable.
5:34 "Knock her ups" xD
You could also just do that and 9 months later you would not ever get any sleep :P
Remember that episode of 'Robot Chicken' where they actually addressed WHY we don't all have jet packs yet?
In the end, the scientists were all like "Can we just go back to making your phones better now, please?"
Oh, Joe, you always find a way to make me laugh. The "childbirth trebuchet" indeed. 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
