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.

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!

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

An XXL Chance with flared head and suction cup base.

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

Erlenmeyer Flask. Bottom is flared out a bit.

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 🤜

“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.”

Man I miss my potato launcher now

[–] ephrin@sh.itjust.works 2 points 1 month ago

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

[–] kkj@lemmy.dbzer0.com 6 points 1 month ago (1 children)

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

[–] CarbonIceDragon@pawb.social 11 points 1 month ago

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

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

[–] LaunchesKayaks@lemmy.world 5 points 1 month ago

But where can I get the LEGO pipette.

[–] frozenpopsicle@lemmy.dbzer0.com 4 points 1 month ago

A lawn aerator?

[–] SendMePhotos@lemmy.world 4 points 1 month ago

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

[–] Death_Equity@lemmy.world 4 points 1 month ago

Scout Master Kevin and Uncle Dave.

[–] Zier@fedia.io 3 points 1 month ago

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

[–] Contramuffin@lemmy.world 3 points 1 month ago

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

[–] plinky@hexbear.net 2 points 1 month ago

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

[–] WittyProfileName2@hexbear.net 1 points 1 month ago

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.
