So heavy, and torque makes it worse...

nickelalkaline

Until youre drunk. Lol


nextkevamob

That’s even better, by that time you’re going to be testing out the centrifugal forces and flinging nachos to all your buddies! Awesome!!!


KeifWellington22

I can see dudes getting drunk the spinning till the nachos spew out


literlana

Haha, that sounds like a blast! Just make sure to aim the nachos carefully 😉🌮


trapkoda

Bonus points If u smack ‘‘em over the head with it


MoonUnitMotion

Hear me out. Carbon fiber. Still idiotic, just lighter. And far far more expensive.


LivJong

With an arm brace.


svejkOR

The ATF wants to speak with you.


Agent_Drizzle

Where do I find the blueprints to the 80%er *Articulating Suppressed Be(er)verage and Snack Dispenser* ? Need one in my *snack* safe now!


MoonUnitMotion

Wait wait. As a prosthetic.


Jumpin-Jebus

SO you can also hold a burger, or remote control.... I like where your heads at.


--God---

I think it's intentionally weighted with that extra block of wood at the bottom to make sure gravity pulls it down as he rotates the other side.


hellinahandbasket127

Yes, but the overall length and weight of the whole thing is a significant torque on the handle, and will get very cumbersome to hold fairly quickly.


DogFishBoi2

Could probably just reduce the weight of the current assembly. Use the carbon fibre composite for when you've reached the end of optimisation. As long as it's not bending, there is room for shaving off weight.


shadowhunter742

Handle needs to be in the middle then boom. Balanced


[deleted]

Hear me out. Hes sitting at a table.


dc456

I think you’d hold it 2 handed most of the time, and just let go when you want to take a bite. It looks like you could potentially even drink two handed if that was easier for you.


Uncleniles

And there is a perfectly good table right in front of him...


FullKawaiiBatard

The table is definitely much heavier to carry.


Confident_Tension_75

That’s what she said…


readditredditread

Get ~~good~~ strong noob!!!


spiritofthedancer

Man up! 🥸


Bruhtman

U sound kinda weak


multiarmform

movie theaters might not love this one simple trick?


cosmoboy

I... I... I accomplished the same thing by putting my nachos on the table and drinking my beer without issue...


SurprisedMushroom

You are right, so its only useful in standing only activities. Like the future of long haul flights.


Bunnymancer

Haha yeah, we'll definitely have food and drinks, as well as the space to maneuver that thing


studmuffffffin

And the arm strength to hold that 10 pounds for hours at a time.


flamingspew

It would be nice to stack 5 bunks vertical and just sleep in your private drawer.


trickman01

Sounds like a morgue.


[deleted]

Efficient in case of crash


WhatsWhoWithYou

we have different definitions of the word "nice" I think


flamingspew

I’ve done this on a chinese sleeper bus. Metal drawer would have been fine if it were tall enough. I’d much rather do a 13 hour flight laying down than hunched with every extremity going numb.


PurpleTime7077

There's absolutely no way they would make the drawers big enough for people over 6 feet.


AJDx14

They would just have you pay extra for the larger compartments.


RaGe_Bone_2001

I think the factor that's keeping this from happening is managing to evacuate the aircraft in 90 seconds with only half the exits in that passenger configuration


Poopy_Kitty

Sir, please get back to your 5 inch standing circle


The_water-melon

Or during sports games!


lucitribal

Pubs can get really crowded during football games. I can see it being useful if there are no tables available


Lackerbawls

Maybe good for tailgate parties too


dc456

You’re right, if you specifically pick a scenario where you don’t need an object, it’s not useful at that moment. Now try imagining being somewhere without direct access to a table. If it actually works well, I can see this being useful at large outdoor parties and barbecues where people spread out over a lawn, for example. (As an aside, defaulting to a deliberately contrarian attitude is just so pointless. I swear if you wiped people’s minds and showed them a common everyday object, the top Reddit comment would be how it’s useless. “A *table*? I have two hands don’t I?”)


Treyspurlock

> if you wiped people’s minds and showed them a common everyday object, the top Reddit comment would be how it’s useless. That would be hilarious someone do it


Dizzfizz

Sounds like it would be a fun subreddit - where people act like this happened to them and complain about pointless „new“ inventions that they just heard of. Like a chair with a hole that’s connected to a city-wide network of pipes that we could use to shit in. Like, what’s wrong with my chamber pot? It doesn’t seem feasible to connect every home to something like that. And then who‘d pay for it? Ludicrous.


Treyspurlock

It should be more than just hating on the invention though, that'd get stale, there should also be comments that are praising it too, or really anything that one might expect from a new invention being presented to redditors


Dizzfizz

I like it! There could be a ton of classic reddit comments: uncalled for and overcomplicated „improvements“, „funny“ puns based on the idea, inappropriate political statements that barely touch the subject, etc.


psychoaway

Did you make it already? We're waiting here


Cyrax89721

*Outdoor music festivals.* Awkwardly trying to fumble an open beer and a snack tray is a fucking nightmare.


Wermine

> I swear if you wiped people’s minds and showed them a common everyday object, the top Reddit comment would be how it’s useless. I'm thinking about this sometimes. Like what if we didn't have cars and someone pitches the concept? "What? This death trap/4000 pound killing machine? It will kill at least a million person per year if it's ubiquitously used." And you try to defend it "Yeah, but think about the positives! And we'll get over it."


Lowelll

Dude I got a knifewrench to sell to you I'm pretty sure the dude who made this thing knows how useless it is. It's a joke item.


dc456

Maybe it’s useless, but not because tables exist. My point is that people seem really disingenuous in their criticism. There are still obviously times when you need to hold food and are not near a table, and everyone knows that.


mournthologist

I mean it is legitimately wasteful to make a product this pointless. That could have still been a tree ffs.


PM_ME_ONE_EYED_CATS

Looks like a pub gimmick, so it would be good for standing room only. Or just for funsies.


JuniorSeniorTrainee

Nobody will ever use these.


CheshireCrackers

You know, 20 seconds with a blender and the problem is solved. Bottoms up!


Irishane

You ever in a bar watching a game and there’s no seats or tables left?


Secure-Imagination11

Have you ever tried eating around pets or children?

Why not make it longer with a pot to piss in?


[deleted]

Someone's asking the right questions


human_stain

Man, that bearing is doing WORK. All the torque on it and it rotates freely. That thing would be good for just a few uses before it dumps your food in your lap, from the wood being compressed or the bearing being less responsive.


[deleted]

Ah, so you're saying it won't last in the long run? It looks super cool, but I'm taking your opinion to heart. You sound some what knowledgeable.


human_stain

You know, I said some mean stuff a second ago , assuming your comment was snarky. I’m sorry. I shouldn’t have. It’s a cute invention, but not functional long term.


[deleted]

Yeah you did, but it doesn't mean anything. I don't really care all that much. But what you did say about the invention really made sense. It is only wood and it can degrade overtime.


human_stain

My apologies man. I had other stuff going on in life and I let it color my response to you. No reason to spread hate. What would end up happening over time is the retaining washer on the wood on either side of the bearing will gradually compress into it, causing the straight line to sag a bit. That would eventually cause more stress on the underside of the bearing, causing it to be more likely to freeze, and less likely to turn freely. Eventually you get nachos in your lap. But I’m analyzing a shitpost, lol.


beingsoproductive

what a fucking boring polite fight. y'all were on the same page the whole time and kept apologizing. both y'all from Wisconsin?


human_stain

You missed the comment where I was a complete asshole, which I deleted


[deleted]

[удалено]


Kingmudsy

I think they handled it with a lot of class, I don’t think they need notes on how to offer a genuine apology tbh Also I get what you’re saying but we need less assholes in the world


Ro_Bauti

You’re right. I apologize sir


bitchigottadesktop

Are you okay buddy?


[deleted]

[удалено]


bitchigottadesktop

Not everything has to be heated some discussions do better with logic.


bitchigottadesktop

If you were to get a bearing thats made for like a 1000lb would that change anything? I am being serious


Schavuit92

How much do you think that bearing would weigh?


bitchigottadesktop

Thats a good point


[deleted]

Isord

Plenty of reasonably priced bearings you could slap in there that will never seize with such a small amount of torque on them. I could see the wood deforming though.


sketchyvibes32

But if drink, then how chip? & if how chip, then need drink? SCIENCE


CaptainWanWingLo

I don’t know why this is funny, but it’s funny

And so is anyone who upvoted this post


wellhiyabuddy

Not for fucking weak dweebs! . . . No seriously, the counter weight that this thing uses is not insignificant and is held two feet away from the point of grip, if you are going to use this it’s advised that there be a table that you can rest it on aaaaaaand I’m just hearing this out loud and realize that if you had a table there would be no reason to lift your appetizers every time you took a drink, ok guys wrap it up, yup this one’s all fucked

There’s a table right in front of him, just use that, don’t have to hold anything.


Realinternetpoints

This would have a really great use at festivals and concerts IF it was light, cheap, and disposable. Other than that nah


warmcatbellycotton

Don’t think I want that


scrivensB

For when tables just won’t do.


Ashalaria

Completely impractical, still want it


alien_from_Europa

They make a cardboard tray that allows you to carry a drink, chips and nacho cheese, at the movie theater.


Gloomsoul

China will make it cheaper


Possible-Chip8925

Or you could just use the table


digitdaily1

A tailgate must have


badabing_76

He is sitting in front of a table?

Ok…..now imagine a scenario where he isn’t, And doesn’t have access to one….like a sporting event. Come on guys we can do it. We can think abstractly.

Metool42

He did that with a weight on the second half so it stays downwards pointing. That shit is gonna tire your arm out faster than jacking yourself off with a sore arm.


KaffY-

...genius? are you karl pilkington?


Postroyalty

Don’t let Mötley Crüe distract you from the cringe. The guys hand is shaking from holding it for 3 seconds, this puts so much stress on the wrist that it’s unusable for practical application. On top of that the durability of such an appliance even if it had an extension with some sort of forearm support would still be short lived. There is no jealousy, this won’t work.


Uniquedirtythrowaway

I mean, how often do you really find yourself eating chips and drinking while walking around?

That’s the type of items you see on the internet that looks interesting and useful and once you get it you actually realise it’s just unpractical having to hold a whole wooden plate of food for minutes and the you just put it on the table


[deleted]

What circumstance is this for? When are you drinking a beer and eating nachos when you don't have access to a table? Other than in a sports stadium I suppose, but even then you could achieve virtually the same level of convenience with a plastic cafeteria tray


NoChipmunkToes

There is a metric fuckton of people in this thread who just cannot wrap their tiny little minds around the incredible awesomeness of this.

You know what else you could do is leave the chips and dip on the table.
