That’s “pumpkin relocation assistant.”
Another name could be “rapid potato transport device”

This is my temporary potato holder. There are many like it, but this one is mine. My temporary potato holder is my best friend. It is my life. I must master it as I must master my life. Without me, my temporary potato holder is useless. Without my temporary potato holder, I am useless. I must fire my temporary potato holder true. I must shoot straighter than my enemy who is trying to kill me. I must shoot him before he shoots me. I will …
My temporary potato holder and I know that what counts in war is not the potatoes we launch, the noise of our burst, nor the smoke we make. We know that it is the hits that count. We will hit …
My temporary potato holder is human, even as I [am human], because it is my life. Thus, I will learn it as a brother. I will learn its weaknesses, its strength, its parts, its accessories, its sights and its barrel. I will keep my temporary potato holder clean and ready, even as I am clean and ready. We will become part of each other. We will …
Before God, I swear this creed. My temporary potato holder and I are the defenders of my yard. We are the masters of our enemy. We are the saviors of my life.
So be it, until victory is America’s and there is no enemy, but peace!Came here to post this. Shut up and take my upvote.
Fun fact: PVC doesn’t show up on x-rays. So when this thing turns into shrapnel and embeds itself in your abdomen; doctors get to just hunt around and hope they find all the pieces.
But PVC does melt unlike schrapnel, so there’s no problem if they set your abdomen on fire.
Wolverine must have a cousin with a PVC bone structure out there somewhere…
What about an MRI? Too slow maybe?
so what you’re saying is that I can sneak this onto a plane
Looks a bit long for sneaking, depends on your anatomy I guess
Microplastics are bad, now macroplastics are bad, I feel like you’re just very anti-plastic at this point and hard to please.
My opinions themselves are plastic; constantly changing.
My life is plastic; it’s fantastic.
I think Bruce Lee said that.
“Be like plastic. Firm, but if you warm up you can change shape to fit a mold.”
Also, “Be about a spoon’s worth in everyone’s brain”
Everyone thought he was dishing out sage martial arts wisdom that they didn’t quite understand, but Bruce Lee was constantly trying to discuss the looming threat of microplastics. Truly ahead of his time.
That fact was fun! 🥰
I appreciate knowing this. If I’m dying from consuming high velocity plastic shrapnel, I won’t expect xrays to help.
The word consuming is deeply unsettling in this context. More so than high velocity plastic shrapnel, which is surprising
I’ve only ever seen potato “holders” made out of ABS, not PVC. Not sure that ABS is any more resistant to er- rapid unscheduled disassemblies.
In the firework industry we use ABS in our mortars because they will stretch and rip if a firework explodes in the tube rather than shatter and turn into shrapnel.
ABS would be better in that regard, it has a higher plasticity and less likely to fragment. But the one in the OP is PVC. ABS pipe is black.
Edit: And I’m pretty sure ABS doesn’t show either.
We used to make them out of PVC pipe from the hardware store
Yup, gotta get that sch40 stuff.
Nothing a lead paint job can’t fix
Asbestos gauze
The picture is split in half?
OP forgot to turn on vsync
The picture is split in half.
Wrong. It’s split into 1/3 and 2/3.
Rule of thirds or something. Idk I’m not an artist.
Pretty sure it’s 3.50
It’s closer to 80/20
Oh, the Pareto split
That reminds me I wanted to build a firecracker shotgun. Still haven’t figured out a sleek way to ignite them though.
I made a firecracker gun out of lego technics when i was young. The munition was a firecracker too, was pretty fun.
I’m sure an internal striker could be engineered with some metal bits, maybe a 3D printer, and parts of a zippo lighter. Just shooting from the hip, but I bet there is someone with the knowledge and the time, if you brought the idea up to the correct forums.
My idea was glueing some copper wire to the bottom of the fuse and using a battery powered ignition mechanism but maybe I’m overthinking it 😅
Perhaps a door mouse could be trained to strike a match before retreating safely to a secondary chamber?
Good ol spud gun. Made one back in the day. My buddy went overboard and had one manufactured out of steel and used ether as a propellant. Was pretty wild compared to the pvc version.
That’s just for starters, Pros use a temporary Christmas tree holder
the broom stick is for checking if it’s loaded, call it a cleaning rod
To be fair it will be about as gental as it’s terminal volocity. Which is hard but like not that bad.
Corporate social media sucks
