Who else here remembers having to take care of a bag of flour for a week in school?
I mean, that really doesn’t sound hard. You take the flour, put it in the shelf, graduate, forget about it, 3 years later you find
babiesflour that’s past best-before date.The bag of flour is a bad analog for a baby. For one, it doesn't get a gassy stomach and wake you up 7 times a night to change the diaper. And you can't change the diaper in bed, because he'll shoot the diarrhea several yards away if the next gas bubble comes up.
On the other hand, once the baby grows to 2 years old, it's much easier to manhandle than any commercial bag of flour I've seen. Unless he's upset and flailing. But at least he doesn't spill flour everywhere.

In Poland, children receives presents from Santa twice: on 6th and on 24th.

6th
Sinterklaas is not Santa! Cultural approbation!

That's some top notch mental gymnastics.

Santa is derived from Sinterklaas (Saint Nicolas), not the other way around.

@hungrier toby faire, this looks like decorative bricks around a steel support, not an actual brick support.

So a brittle frontend wrapping a solid backend that does all the real work?

the SINGULAR downside to using a glitterbomb package thief bait is that it goes off on your porch. would be better to build a GPS/GSM in so that it:
- Goes off once the package:
- Is opened
- Is traveling faster than 20mph
- Travels more than once city block from point of deployment
- Once triggered calls the police to report a robbery in progress giving real time updates to it via GPS
- Takes 360 degree video of the theft and live streams it online (to something like S3 so it's not public) to be used as evidence
- Shares the video link with the police so they can see the theft in real time
.... okay actually there's probably more than one downside, but.... wouldn't that be a better trap for package thieves?

@Vixen That was Part 1.

That one isn't. Watch the video - it's absolutely worth it.

It doesn't call the cops but it does include Skunk Spray and video streaming (or was that only the coordinates). Should be enough for now...

@Vixen I saw a documentary about interesting weapons of war a bunch of years ago. One of the more memorable things was a flechette grenade. Apparently it nails anyone in the room with it to the walls.
That would be a decent payload to one of those traps.

See.... I want a payload that delivers karmic justice, not one that creates Murder, Sentientslaughter or Grevious Bodily Harm charges to be filed against me......
-
@Vixen hey, it's not your fault someone stole the grenade that was just delivered!

i'm pretty sure that device would violate legal requirements for transporting live weaponry.....
like i'm reasonably certain it's illegal to send those via USPS, and i know FEDEX and UPS are not keen on transporting them either.
DHL would probably transport it, but they don't give a crap......
-
@Vixen Actually, USPS is the only approved agency for legally shipping weapons and explosives.

yeah, but not in cardboard boxes designed to set them off if moved incautiously.........

@Vixen Where in the law does it say that?

@hungrier said in The Official Funny Stuff Thread™:

i'm not sure, but it definitely falls into the category of things that if you do it you're going to get in a hell of a lot of trouble for, even if it takes them a month to find the exact law that you broke......
My gut says it would be somewhere in the murder/sapientslaughter/uneccessary application of lethal force part of the legal spectrum.....

I also not a lawyer.
