Seriously had no idea what YKK was until the Pete & Bad lyric from Gangster Shit.

[–] FundMECFS@piefed.zip 2 points 2 weeks ago

What’s YKK?

Just zipping around the lake

But those aren't the same though, I think the left one is CGI and the right is the real one. There's no window on the left one and it looks to be made of metal while the right one has a window and looks more like some kther material painted to look like metal. There are several other differences, just look at them.

The left one is the RC model they made before the right one (the full-size version)

Does the zipper handle fold over to the other side in reverse mode?

Please tell me it's an icebreaker

It should get the conversation going alright.

[–] elbucho@lemmy.world 8 points 2 weeks ago

I adore the whimsy of this.

  1. Break zip off clothing item
  2. Drop zip in puddle
  3. Photograph zip in puddle
  4. Quick bit of Gimp/Krita/Photoshop
  5. Tell internet people it's a boat

it doesn't look like it's unzipping anything that's ridiculous

[–] otter@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 points 2 weeks ago

Moses, that you?

Illusion, Michael!

[–] unnamed1@feddit.org 2 points 2 weeks ago

This is magnificent!

[–] raspberriesareyummy@lemmy.world 2 points 2 weeks ago

Great, now go in reverse and undo the boat wake :p

[–] ParadoxSeahorse@lemmy.world 2 points 2 weeks ago

Zipper ship

Some interesting details here. I especially liked this image, because of how two people have to sit inside.

[–] muusemuuse@sh.itjust.works 2 points 2 weeks ago

I have to wonder if there’s a way to make the water behind it look more zippery

Is it strange that I am aroused right now?

[–] wreckedcarzz@lemmy.world 1 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

Your fun bits: "oh no, they are gonna do it again"

Great, another useless toy for the wealthy to spend their excess money on, instead of paying their employees, or their taxes.

[–] ChristerMLB@piefed.social 4 points 2 weeks ago

I disagree with you, but you have a point. Inequality really makes it harder to enjoy stuff like this, as well as a lot of art.

[–] muusemuuse@sh.itjust.works 1 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

Um, you can 3d print something like this super easy.

[–] BarneyPiccolo@lemmy.today 0 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

Wait, how big is this boat?

[–] muusemuuse@sh.itjust.works 1 points 2 weeks ago

It’s only a model…

Shh!
