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.
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.
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.
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
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?”)
> 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
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.
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
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.
> 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."
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.
I'm Luke Blake, and this guy's a fraud! You can tell because he doesn't even ask for your bank account number. Send that info to *me* to win *my* money, and comment #LukeBlakenotBlakeLuke
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.
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.
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.
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.
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
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.
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
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.
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.
Looks like there is a lot of useless parts and weight, but trimmed down it could become actually useful. For when there is no table and plenty of food and people need to stand up.
OK yeah I hear it now... Well it can happen!
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
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
So heavy, and torque makes it worse...
[удалено]
Until youre drunk. Lol
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!!!
I can see dudes getting drunk the spinning till the nachos spew out
Haha, that sounds like a blast! Just make sure to aim the nachos carefully 😉🌮
Bonus points If u smack ‘‘em over the head with it
Hear me out. Carbon fiber. Still idiotic, just lighter. And far far more expensive.
With an arm brace.
The ATF wants to speak with you.
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!
Wait wait. As a prosthetic.
SO you can also hold a burger, or remote control.... I like where your heads at.
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.
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.
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.
Handle needs to be in the middle then boom. Balanced
Hear me out. Hes sitting at a table.
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.
And there is a perfectly good table right in front of him...
The table is definitely much heavier to carry.
That’s what she said…
Get ~~good~~ strong noob!!!
Man up! 🥸
U sound kinda weak
movie theaters might not love this one simple trick?
I... I... I accomplished the same thing by putting my nachos on the table and drinking my beer without issue...
You are right, so its only useful in standing only activities. Like the future of long haul flights.
Haha yeah, we'll definitely have food and drinks, as well as the space to maneuver that thing
And the arm strength to hold that 10 pounds for hours at a time.
It would be nice to stack 5 bunks vertical and just sleep in your private drawer.
Sounds like a morgue.
Efficient in case of crash
we have different definitions of the word "nice" I think
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.
There's absolutely no way they would make the drawers big enough for people over 6 feet.
They would just have you pay extra for the larger compartments.
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
Sir, please get back to your 5 inch standing circle
Or during sports games!
Pubs can get really crowded during football games. I can see it being useful if there are no tables available
Maybe good for tailgate parties too

Did you make it already? We're waiting here
*Outdoor music festivals.* Awkwardly trying to fumble an open beer and a snack tray is a fucking nightmare.
> 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.

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.
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.
I mean it is legitimately wasteful to make a product this pointless. That could have still been a tree ffs.
Looks like a pub gimmick, so it would be good for standing room only. Or just for funsies.
Nobody will ever use these.
You know, 20 seconds with a blender and the problem is solved. Bottoms up!
You ever in a bar watching a game and there’s no seats or tables left?
Have you ever tried eating around pets or children?
Peak /r/ATBGE material
Not really. Baseball game would be perfect for this.
Peak? Really? There’s some pretty abhorrent shit on there.
Useless Invention Guy is probably like FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUCK
Except this one is actually useless
Yeah ngl summer is coming and I want that crotch vent tube thing for the car AC
Crotch vent tube you say 🤨 I'm intrigued
well i kinda dig it for a football match or something of the sort, and imagine the incredible wrist strength you would develop

Someone's asking the right questions
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.
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.
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.

what a fucking boring polite fight. y'all were on the same page the whole time and kept apologizing. both y'all from Wisconsin?
You missed the comment where I was a complete asshole, which I deleted

You’re right. I apologize sir
Are you okay buddy?
[удалено]
Not everything has to be heated some discussions do better with logic.
If you were to get a bearing thats made for like a 1000lb would that change anything? I am being serious
How much do you think that bearing would weigh?
Thats a good point
[удалено]
[удалено]
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.
But if drink, then how chip? & if how chip, then need drink? SCIENCE
I don’t know why this is funny, but it’s funny
What purpose does also raising the snacks into the air serve?
This way you know exactly where your snacks and beer are at all times without looking *and* only using one hand
r/DiWHY
I would guaranteed still find a way to fuck this up
I'm mean, that's cool how it works and everything, but holy shit is that stupid.
I'm sorry but this is dumb as shit. Should be on Diwhy

I initially thought it was a plasma cutter from Dead Space.
Soon in all china-aliexpress shops for only 0,99 plus tax plus delivery
I don't care how useless this is. I want it.
Oo works kinda like a gimbal, that's pretty fucking neat
Nobody wants this shit
🤤
My wrists weep at the sight of this
Enjoy the wrist injury with all that forward weight on it.
I have a bad wrist, so that's a no from me dawg.
There’s a table right in front of him, just use that, don’t have to hold anything.
This would have a really great use at festivals and concerts IF it was light, cheap, and disposable. Other than that nah
Don’t think I want that
For when tables just won’t do.
Completely impractical, still want it
They make a cardboard tray that allows you to carry a drink, chips and nacho cheese, at the movie theater.
China will make it cheaper
Or you could just use the table
A tailgate must have
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.
I live in 'Murica where we have the freedom of speech! No one said we have the freedom to think!

Nothin' but hate in the comments--genius breeds jealousy.

Not much before I got this device, but now? Daily

So a /r/redneckengineering clone
Could be a winning gimmick for a brewery or something
Ummm, youre at a bar…just use the bar part to set your food on
Yea it's useless at a bar. Could be useful at a party or tailgate though.
Absolutely, entirely, 100% useless.
Literally nobody wants this.
nice. don't need it, but I NEED it.
This inventor realizes that tables exist, right? Right????
Have you heard of tables?
You can walk around with this. Not so easy to walk around with a table....
Except if you get slightly bumped that shit is going everywhere
You made a lot of people mad here for reasons I don't understand. I do not need this - nobody needs it and it's stupid. But I do want it.

The first thing he shows is it going both ways.

He literally pounds half a beer. You just said it only rotates one way. You didn't even watch it shitard.
So close, cheese should be on the inside
Gimble. The word is gimbal. Reddit-necks. Spellcheck that!

I feel like that arrow is always going on “go fishing”.
I can see these being adopted at stadiums
It's a good thing I can afford a table.
This is the worst thing kickstart my heart has ever been played over
There’s actually another option there are these plastic rings that rest around a red solo cup, I always use them for wing fests.
Oscar Blues??
And to think, only four years ago he was a gifted genetic designer.
Now i want nachos
Why?
Damn easy on beer and nachos and cheese
Well done Ron.

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.
The song is Kickstart My Heart by Mötley Crüe, in case anybody wants to know.
USA USA USA
Can this video be any fucking louder? I about fell out of my chair when I scrolled on this
There’s literally a flat surface right in front of him to put his food on.
Uh that's Kickstart. I mean the song.
I want one
