@narfcake@sammydog01 Well, like my grandma used to say, “When life gives you lumens, just go make some lumenade!”
She was ahead of her time. Or maybe just had a funny accent.
It looks like I could hook them together to achieve a diameter greater than 1.5" thus erectifying the situation at a lower price point than 2 little blue pills. Thus it won’t be Meh no more.
Was going to pick them up for mom’s walkers but after watching the video, the light output looks pathetic. I guess will have to stick with the fairy lights lining the railing.
@ponagathos I feel like a quality bike light would be better, in part because it’s pointing forward instead of straight down, but also has better light output.
@ThunderChicken@tweezak You’ve should see my wife shoot. She once totally destroyed my PVC pipe target holder while leaving the center of the target virtually untouched.
/giphy sharpshooter
@ThunderChicken I figure the spread on any kind of shot is going to be minimal at home-defense distances so I just use slugs. Even a non-mortal hit will likely be a fight stopper. I mainly want to make sure I know what I’m shooting at with a light.
@thebigtverberg Yeah, mostly when its raining or misting, although she does stand around large trees that enjoy dropping tree bits on her, so a little of both?
@theonlybuster semi-rural appartment complex that doesn’t allow smoking inside or within 100 feet of the building, so she has to go across the street to smoke. Yes, she’s that commited, lol.
@illumin8r Yes. True. It puts out lumens. Is there such thing as a nanolumen? That could make it sound more impressive if we counted in those.
White 5mm leds which is what these look like can put out up to 20,000mcd, but the conversion to lumens involves other knowledge. You know the cheap little keychain lights that you squeeze and the LED on the end lights up? Put six of them together and it should be about like this.
Also, username potentially checks out. You know, if you do check out with a pair of these.
Best use case for me: snow shoveling at night. Or maybe doing these at night? (no emoji for my #1 fav hiking ) I already have a headlamp, so $15 incl. shipping is a bit indulgent since I only buy this shit for me so… Meh
I’ve never been so entertained just by reading the comments… Y’all are cracking me up! So I bought some… Get this- my order number is Naughty Quiet Drummer - a bit of an oxy-moron, but funny cool nonetheless!
THANK YOU FOR MAKING MY MORNING FUN
Home Depot has these for $18 ea. With action photos. Does not seem bright at all. Also, the separate O-rings? That’s what you use to fasten them closed, in case you didn’t realize. Meh.
Walmart also has action photo of 2 in use on a walker. Might just barely be useful for that application.
I bought several to clamp on our strollers. Good way to improve visibility at crosswalks in winter where I’m more likely to be out with the kiddo after dark.

Looks like a testicle torture device.
@yakkoTDI Yeah, my first thought was a very frightening sex toy.
@mehcuda67 @yakkoTDI
Clamps onto a variety of everyday items of diameter of 1.5"
Pffft
@yakkoTDI You say that as if that’s a bad thing…
@xterraguy @yakkoTDI TMI!
@mehcuda67 @yakkoTDI Yeah, my first thought too.
@ThunderChicken @yakkoTDI
Do I need a lighted cock ring?
Hmmm…its got rubber teeth and Meh says it frees both hands…decisions, decisions
@msqaf00 When has Meh ever been about need? Buy it and see what or why you have been missing.
I’m trying really hard to justify buying these. Maybe I’ll need a walker some day?
@sammydog01 It’s so good that they’re not even mentioning how many lumens it’ll put out!
/8ball /buy?
Don’t count on it
@narfcake @sammydog01 Well, like my grandma used to say, “When life gives you lumens, just go make some lumenade!”
She was ahead of her time. Or maybe just had a funny accent.
@narfcake @sammydog01
If you have to ask, you can’t afford it…
Aaaah…there’s nothing like sweeping floors in the dark at midnight. That’s the FIRST thing that came to mind when I saw this.
@dagirlgenius Then I admire you. You have a much cleaner mind than the rest of us apparently do.
Led cock rings?
Today we see what Irk drives. Nice ride, Irk!
@therealjrn
80+ year old Dodge > a Dodge from the 80s.
ok, these look really inappropriate.
and painful.
If these ratcheted shut without needing an o-ring… Maybe.
Kinky! I thought hand-cuffs were connected to each other. Magnets? And I’m not sure about you but those C-rings look waaaaay too small.
/giphy kinky
@Mehrocco_Mole Your clip from Supernatural makes me think of Castiel saying “If the pizza man truly loves the babysitter why is he spanking her rear?”
Good, I’m not the only one who thought they were cock rings.
However, I guess a led cock ring would be better than poking around in the dark.
@nltownsend843 So true… It’s all fun and games until someone gets poked in the eye.

There must be some way to connect these to the add-on handle gizmos Meh was selling a few days ago.
Huh? I have no idea why…
Shut up.
This provided one of my all-time favorite meh order numbers: kindly-naughty-pie. All of the talk about sex toys was not entirely in vain.
@gertiestn I think you may have forgotten:

@ponagathos @the_inevitable make them a combo thing. More is better!
Nipple clamps? Headlights for headlights?
Unlikely to stay put on my 12ga shotgun. That is, unless I hit my target with the first shot then it don’t matter.
@tweezak If you don’t hit your target on the first shot with a 12-gauge, you’re probably not going to hit it anyway.
@ThunderChicken @tweezak You’ve should see my wife shoot. She once totally destroyed my PVC pipe target holder while leaving the center of the target virtually untouched.
/giphy sharpshooter
Forgot to mention it was at 20 yards with a 20ga.
/giphy shotgun fail
@Mehrocco_Mole @ThunderChicken @tweezak In my own defense I was shooting from the hip with my 20ga semi-auto Mossberg SA20.
I can’t shoot from the shoulder because of cancer operations. Under the circumstances I consider it amazing shooting just hitting the target stand.
Aren’t you glad you got the murphy bed finished in the guest room? Aren’t you?
@ThunderChicken I figure the spread on any kind of shot is going to be minimal at home-defense distances so I just use slugs. Even a non-mortal hit will likely be a fight stopper. I mainly want to make sure I know what I’m shooting at with a light.
I always sweep in the dark. Finally a solution to missing dirt.
@ElieC if you are missing some dirt I think I have extra around here that I can give you
The definitive solution to a problem that doesn’t exist.
I actually bought these just now.
Reason: mom uses an umbrella at night to go smoke.
Probably the only use-case where these would be sufficient
@KMakato I assume you mean when raining, or does the umbrella offer tactical advantages when smoking?
@KMakato But even then, she’s probably only taking a few steps out of the house. Are there no porch lights? Is your neighborhood that dark?
@KMakato @thebigtverberg protects her from people above throwing water down on her to extinguish her cigarettes…
@KMakato @mml666 @thebigtverberg helps contain the smoke thereby increasing the available nicotine
@thebigtverberg Yeah, mostly when its raining or misting, although she does stand around large trees that enjoy dropping tree bits on her, so a little of both?
@theonlybuster semi-rural appartment complex that doesn’t allow smoking inside or within 100 feet of the building, so she has to go across the street to smoke. Yes, she’s that commited, lol.
@chienfou she may deny it, but yeah, probably
LED
@CosmicTwister oddly satisfying.
@CosmicTwister I have got to get me one of those…!
Uh, Huh huh…Bitchin’!
Yikes! This looks like it could really hurt if used improperly! But at least you’ll be able to find it with the light.
/giphy fantastic-iconic-garland
these look like they go on the donger
@dingdongdata
@dingdongdata username checks out.
Worst. Cockring. Ever.
@Pufferfishy
Do these make sense anywhere on a bike? Wouldn’t mind lighting the ground if I could, in addition to the forward lamp.
@lwmctz These would be horrible for a bike. For downward lighting I use the Blackburn Central 100 for off road and the 2’fer for road.
…the real reason i need it on my broom would be that the traffic is getting a bit much this week with all the pms and holiday cheer to prepare for…
@sunderbug I bow before your awesome godessness.
VAN GOGH! MANGO! TANGO! AWESOME!
@sunderbug Are you a witch?!?
OK…what IS the lumen output of these things?!?
@illumin8r Yes. True. It puts out lumens. Is there such thing as a nanolumen? That could make it sound more impressive if we counted in those.
White 5mm leds which is what these look like can put out up to 20,000mcd, but the conversion to lumens involves other knowledge. You know the cheap little keychain lights that you squeeze and the LED on the end lights up? Put six of them together and it should be about like this.

I bought these for all my pole dancing buds…*
I want to want these. But I still don’t.
Hmm. So this is what witches use on their brooms…
@pixelated see above a few comments
I’ve never been so entertained just by reading the comments… Y’all are cracking me up!
So I bought some… Get this- my order number is Naughty Quiet Drummer - a bit of an oxy-moron, but funny cool nonetheless!
THANK YOU FOR MAKING MY MORNING FUN
@Micki312 One step further with your order “number” – /giphy.

Oooh NUTCRACKERS…just in time for the holidays!!!

Q: Will these arrive by Christmas?
A: NOPE
Granny is still stumbling around with her cane in the dark because I got these too late to gift them to her.
