They most likely got paid by someone to write this, yeah.
Most people that write articles are paid to write them.
Oh look, a bunch of polluting plastic designed to be used once and then trashed
To be fair, these are novelty promotional collectors items, not really meant to be trashed.
It’s different from all the plastic packaging you find on every item in the supermarket, when they ban the one final plastic bag people use to carry all their other plastic bags.
Anything that is made as a “collectors” item is just landfill fodder. It’s junk that isn’t worth anything. Just look at Funko Pops.
That depends on what you mean by “worth”.
Paintings and sculptures aren’t really “worth anything” in pretty much the same way.
What’s a movie “worth” for that matter?Paintings and sculptures are individual artistic creations. You might be able to say such things about mass produced replicas, but not art itself.
Art itself could be considered the idea. The individual physical creation would be merely an expression of that idea. Does mass production dilute that idea or it’s “worth”?
It disseminates the idea and dilutes the worth, because worth is tied to scarcity.
And I think that’s our primary point of disagreement. I don’t care how scarce something is.
In fact not quite 30min ago, I flushed something unique down the toilet because it was worthless to me. While the toilet I flush it with, is worth quite a lot to me, even though it’s very common and and found everywhere in my country. In fact if it was scarce, even unique, it might be entirely worthless.
Just let people be happy and collect their little things. Why are you people so boring
They’re not boring, they’re in a competition to see who can be the most self-righteous on the internet.
People can do whatever they want with their own money. It doesn’t change the fact.
At least in this case it’s not going to be trashed, they’ll be repurposed
used once
I’ll use it until the spines wear down.
I’ve already used it multiple times. My popcorn intake has increased drastically.
I guarantee somebody knew we’d be sickos about it and the exec just didn’t wanna hear it.
Hahahahahahahahahahaha, this is why you hire immature idiots like myself. One look and I knew someone would try and fuck it.
I guarantee everyone below the execs knew what this thing looked like, and correctly guessed that the sales would go crazy because of it.
But I don’t get it. It’s too big and the tips sticking out look very flimsy. How does it stimulate. If anyone used it, please let me know the physics behind it.
It’s for meming about using it like that, not honestly doing it.
I see they’ve never read further in the dune series, otherwise they’d know this is right on-brand for Dune.
They knew

That would be if you’re fucking the guy. This is “shai-hulussy”
The worse crime is looking like the Sarlaac Pit
It just goes to show how disconnected they are from actual reality because everyone saw it immediately. I’m also sure a mod of people realized this before production but didn’t say anything because they are just trying to get through their day
Has anyone here penetrated the bucket with their hand or penis? If its big enough for a hand then I don’t think it would work as a flashlight…
Even if you’re just a bit above average in thickness, then typical fleshlights are way too tight. Especially when you’re also a bit above average in length, because then you reach into the thinner end of the “handle”, which typically has those plastic struts for stability on the inside. You also will kinda push the soft part out when penetrating because the casing can’t fit that AND your dick inside, since they’re designed for small to average dicks.
Male toys suck ass in general though, because they wear and tear so quickly while costing way too much, on top of the exorbitant costs of decent lube, because all the water based shit becomes sticky after a minute or so. And don’t get me started on keeping that shit clean either because it’s like those sticky flobber type kids toys that just gathers up all the dust, fibers, hair, etc. I honestly envy women in that regard, because wearing a dildo down would take some serious effort, and they have such a huge variety of toys too. You can also easily rinse them down in a sink too and most women easily lubricate themselves when aroused, while also being more flexible in regards to erogenous zones that actually benefit from stimulation like vibrations (a vibrator on a dick does basically nothing). /rantI must admit I’ve never bought a flashlight. As a kid I did fuck toilet paper rolls. They’re super tight but if you cover the inside with plastic and use a lot of lube, it worked great.
Makes a great gift for that special 12 year old boy in your life.
I especially dislike that last sentence.
Grandpa, you never buy anything for me
(too lazy to change the upvote to blue for lemmy)
If you were able to fit into toilet paper rolls then you’d likely have no issues with the inner sizing of fleshlights.
This little hack might help solve a number of those problems.
Speak for yourself 😎
!just kidding 😔!<
What if they’re Trump sized hands?
I just wanna know who fucked one
You haven’t?
How did it feel?
Pokey
Time for fleshlight to get in on the action lol.
I’m pretty sure bad dragon already has a sand worm fleshlight.
I, for one, support the mass production of fleshlights to reduce their cost and make them more accessible to the masses
not the onion
