3D-Printed Arms for Pet Chickens Give Them Real Chicken Fingers

Posted on by

Do you raise chicken? Do you feel strongly that they wish they had arms? Well, now you can buy them a whole variety of different style arms thanks to the numerous 3D printing shops on Etsy. It’s 2022, everyone! Just when you thought things couldn’t get any weirder, they still manage to.

Arm styles available include t-rex, velociraptor, regular human arms, muscular Hulk arms, arms with hands giving the middle finger, Captain America arms with shield, arms with a chainsaw for one hand, arms with boxing gloves, and arms with hands that can hold small plastic weapon accessories. What a time to be alive and living next to Old McDonald!

A chicken wears the arms via a flexible plastic band that loosely hugs the chicken across its back. I don’t even own any chickens, but now I wish I did so I could put arms on them and run around the yard playing tag. Or maybe they call it “peck.” The problem is, arms or no arms, I really don’t want them waking me up at sunrise. I like to sleep in. Ideally until the weekend.

Denture Shaped Hex Bit Holder: Open Wide!

Posted on by

Because nightmares come in all shapes and sizes, this particular bad dream happens to come in the shape and size of a drill and screwdriver bit holder that looks like a pair of dentures. 3D printed by Etsy seller MacGyverDood, $50 will get you a pair of empty dentures, and $70 will get you the dentures with a 100-piece screwdriver and drill bit set so you can fill it with your most frequently used “teeth.” I don’t even own a pair yet, and I’m already afraid to go anywhere near my tool chest.

Available in a variety of different colors, the dentures hold bits in each of their 28 tooth holes (plus an extra in the floor of the mouth because why not?) thanks to embedded neodymium magnet magnets, so your bits won’t fall out when you don’t want them to. Of course, if you ever catch your dentist reaching for a full-size drill bit from their denture bit holder, it’s time to swing that spotlight at them and make a run for the door.

Am I going to buy one just so I can put the drill and screwdriver bits under my pillow to see if the tooth fairy will bring me a dollar? Yes. Will it work? I suppose that depends on how poor the tooth fairy’s vision is. She doesn’t fall for pebbles or pieces of chalk, though; I do know that.

Amagami Ham Ham, A Plushie That Nibbles Your Fingers

Posted on by

Amagami Ham Ham is a plush toy that nibbles the end of your fingers when you stick them in its mouth. Apparently, that’s supposed to be comforting. Personally, I find that the opposite of comforting, but that’s just me, and I was raised on a crocodile farm. There was no nibbling, only death or dismemberment.

Recently on display at the Consumer Electronics Show (CES) 2022 in Las Vegas, the 8-inch Amagami Ham Ham (Amagami means soft bite in Japanese, and ham means bite as well) will be available in both dog (Kotaru) and cat (Yuzu) varieties, so you can have your fingers nibbled by your pet of choice. They feature 24 different bite styles, which they deliver at random, including “Tasting HAM, Holding Tight HAM, and Massaging HAM.” I… don’t like the sound of any of those.

Yukai Engineering and Liv Heart Corporation, the companies responsible for the toy, plan to go live with a crowdfunding campaign in early 2022, so stay tuned to the official website if you’re interested. Still, I think we can all agree Teddy Ruxpin did it first, even if it was accidental. Sure he may have just been trying to read me a bedtime story, but that didn’t stop me from jamming my fingers in his mouth trying to get him to stutter. He never did miss a beat, though; I’ll give him that.

Finally, The Butt Shaped Pillow We’ve All Been Waiting for

Posted on by

There’s been a noticeable absence of butt-shaped pillows on the market, and to fill that void, The Buttress is selling these ‘Oh My God Look at That Buttress’ pillows. The posterior pillows, available on Amazon (affiliate link), are made in the form of a firm, shapely rear wearing removable yoga pants. I… don’t even know where to begin with this.

The pillows are available with six different colors of yoga pants to match the rest of your kinky bedroom decor. They are advertised for all kinds of sleepers, including “squeezers, slappers, and face-buriers,” none of which I realized were kinds of sleepers versus perverts. You learn something new every day.

The butt is made from 100% natural latex, measures approximately 20″ x 20″ x 11″, and weighs seven pounds. The company’s marketing mentions You can use the pillow to help relieve anxiety. However, I suspect just the opposite happening when I lay my head on one and realize I’m the kind of person who actually bought a butt-shaped pillow. I just ordered two, one for the bed and one for the sofa!

Pampshades, Lamps Made From Real Bread Loaves

Posted on by

Now I know what you’re thinking, and I couldn’t agree more: the wait is finally over. Pampshades (“P” from pan, bread in Japanese, and “ampshade” from lampshade) are lamps made from actual bread loaves. Did anybody else just lick make-believe crumbs from their fingers?

Get ’em while they’re hot! The ingredient list for Pampshades includes strong flour (high gluten content), weak flour (low gluten content), salt, yeast, an LED light, and either a battery pack or an electric adapter. They range in price from around $52 for a petite loaf up to $150 for a full French baguette. But can you really put a price on an emergency bedside snack?

Pampshades are the brainchild of Yukiko Morita, who believes the very sight of bread can make people feel warm, and set out to create a lamp from which “the delicious light of bread gently illuminates you.” I need that. I need the delicious light of bread illuminating me. Unfortunately, if I had a rodent problem before (which I did), I’m really going to have one now.
