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.

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

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 🤜

Erlenmeyer Flask. Bottom is flared out a bit.

Man I miss my potato launcher now

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

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

“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.”

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 week 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 week ago

But where can I get the LEGO pipette.

A lawn aerator?

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

Scout Master Kevin and Uncle Dave.

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

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

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

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

[–] Zier@fedia.io 3 points 1 week ago

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

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

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

[–] Yareckt@lemmynsfw.com 1 points 1 week ago

Another arm? A stand mixer?

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.
