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.

An XXL Chance with flared head and suction cup base.

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

Erlenmeyer Flask. Bottom is flared out a bit.

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 🤜

Man I miss my potato launcher now

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

"It is imperative that the graduated cylinder not be damaged"

But where can I get the LEGO pipette.

You thought the eppendorf pens were fun? Wait till you see their new reward for purchases...

[–] frozenpopsicle@lemmy.dbzer0.com 4 points 2 months ago

A lawn aerator?

[–] Death_Equity@lemmy.world 4 points 2 months ago

Scout Master Kevin and Uncle Dave.

[–] SendMePhotos@lemmy.world 4 points 2 months ago

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

[–] Contramuffin@lemmy.world 3 points 2 months ago

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

[–] Zier@fedia.io 3 points 2 months ago

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

[–] plinky@hexbear.net 2 points 2 months ago

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

[–] EvilEdgelord@sh.itjust.works 1 points 2 months ago
[–] Yareckt@lemmynsfw.com 1 points 2 months ago

Another arm? A stand mixer?

[–] WittyProfileName2@hexbear.net 1 points 2 months ago

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.
