I’m assuming they’re not (because it doesn’t say so) but are these waterproof or water resistant? They’d make good cheap shower lights if so. (My bathroom shower never got a light installed for some weird reason)
Paw prints! Who doesn’t love paw prints, and I’ve never seen paw print mats in stores. You could do regular cuddly/domesticated-type animals, and then some crazy versions, too: flamingo prints, giraffe prints, part of a giant mammoth print? All good. Or go with cryptid prints: Sasquatch, chupacabra, you get the gist.
@craigcush chip on board (as opposed to discrete or SMD LEDs) and probably not.
It has to do with how the LEDs are constructed. The entire yellow ring has LEDs embedded in it and they are directly on the circuit board (pretty much).
@craigcush There is an ANSI standard for measuring luminous output. The light source is placed inside or directed into a white sphere (a.k.a integrating sphere) and the light is measured at one point. That should give the average luminous flux produced by the light.
@awk@craigcush Holy Mother of Labrats!!! Who makes a sphere that big? I used to service Varian spectroscopy instruments but we had nothing that size. Ours were like 100-300mm iirc.
@shahnm cuz you gotta use up your batteries somehow otherwise that population explosion in your fridge might lead to overcrowding and your batteries may start an uprising.
If you can have the mats custom printed, you could probably also have them not put a damn thing on them. Just a basic, no clever saying, no pictures, no pattern, kitchen mat. That’s the most universally marketable idea, so you’ll probably order them with an anthropomorphic banana with a baby arm holding a knife with “Here’s Johnny!” written across the bottom.
“I know what I’m doing” . . . Because people love to come stir a pot when you’re cooking like you don’t know what you’re doing. . . I know it’s simmering. I know! I don’t need you to stir.
Or. “Help wanted”. And put the mat in front of the sink so people can get the message to wash the dishes.
Think it’s posted for a relevant price comparison. Opposed to the similar $60. This makes it similar $16.
Which is actually cheaper than buying a 4 pack here, which is $17 for those that don’t pay the monthly membership fee to shop here. Also you can buy the number you want at the store. Plus, some may like the idea of having all one color.
In summary, not a bad link to post. It’s relevant and helpful I feel.
I really like the theme going here with the rug looking like a hole or shaft, something below pictured. Just add a sheet of glass on top that appears to be cracking under weight.
That’s a winner.
Ideas for the kitchen fatigue mat- “Stand here if you didn’t cook”, “Choreplay is the new foreplay”, " Real men do dishes", " No husband has ever been shot while doing the dishes", “your turn”
So the 90’s are coming back in full force. You will only be slightly ahead of your time (depending on how quickly this project moves) if you print up ten thousand “IT’S PEANUT BUTTER JELLY TIME!!!” mats. They will soon be retro chic.
I like the idea of wall to wall text: a poem, short story, or song lyrics. Harry Chapin’s 30,000 Pounds of Bananas, perhaps, or The Walrus and the Carpenter.
In the alternative, something that looks like newspaper with some offbeat story, accompanied by a weird picture captioned incoherently and small ads for meh or meh stuff.
Mat, you are a lax gel ere on I put my toe.
You do get my toe lax if I do wet my cup in sud.
Or if I do mix in my pot on the hob, you make my toe say ahh.
Mat, you are a gem for my lax toe.
The mat: Stand still… await teleportation
Have them throw in mood lighting ha
Dinosaur tracks
Have them add sound so when stepped on: fart… moan… “have you lost weight?” etc. sounds out.
Was gifted one of these lights. The suction cup was worthless. The magnet, on the other hand, works well. For three $ apeice I’d say it’s a fair deal, but I don’t have enough AAA rechargables, so…meh.
Mat Ideas:
“This is where adulting happens”
“Maximum adulting zone”
“Worst case, we order a pizza”
A Jump to Conclusions Mat (from Office Space)
“My Kitchen, My Rules”
Shouldn’t the mat just have a giant “Meh.” printed right in the center? It would perfectly sum up how I feel when I’m doing dishes or being a short order cook for my children.
I suggest a kitchen measurement conversion table. 1Cups = 8oz= 16tbs = 48 tsp type of scale thing. I realize something this useful cuts against the meh grain but what the hell, it’s a new decade.
Kitchen Mat - A list of common kitchen measurements and conversions (which would actually be useful), and common ingredient substitutions. BUT THEN - have the list slowly segue into imaginary ingredient substitutions “Unicorn Blood, 1 Cup - Substituition: 1lb of sugar, 1 cup scotch whiskey, and two pinches of hate”
@mcqmail4 the “where you order it” place is always the same. On the main Meh front page underneath the product photos.
If you’re on this deal/product comments page you can always scroll up to the top and click on the product photo to return to the front page where you can order.
But yah, there’s a shitload of “bs” on this site. That’s why so many of us fools/suckers are addicted to it.
I’m buying these to mount them on the roll bar of a Jeep Wrangler. Since the top comes off, the tiny dome light it has is insufficient. These should work very nicely.
@j0egarza I have a feeling you would be way better off wiring in something 12V powered. Maybe even just upgrading the bulb in your factory dome light to an LED bulb would give you greater light output.
Brightness fine, but I bought it for the ‘magnet works well’. Really, not so much. And, of the two I’ve unwrapped, one has a magnet flush with the bottom (good) but the backside of the magnet crushed the battery (not good). The other has a magnet that is above the bottom surface, so it is wobbly and prone to falling off (not good). But the battery is less crushed (good). This seems to be a case where ‘measure twice and cut once’ was not observed; the magnet is too long for the case. Meh.
Not unhappy(only opened one so far) but wish the light was less yellow. The magnet is useless,can’t hold it’s own weight. Suction cup only sticks to my forehead for a few seconds but that’s ok.
All four of mine work great. Magnet sticks to anything reasonably suitable, such as the fridge, steel doors, etc. They all light up great, included batteries is a bonus. Suction cup works fine for short-term use. I tested one on a glass window and it fell off sometime overnight. But that’s good enough.

Make it look like there is a gateway to hell in the floor of my kitchen.
Or maybe just a gateway to the Meh warehouse, overflowing with fidget spinners and Roombas?
@awk “Kitchen fatigue”? Is that when you go out to eat because you are tired of cooking and then having to wash up pots and plates afterwards?
put mat on the mat
@therealjrn or, for a classy and surrealist touch,
“Neci c’est pas un mat”
Maybe in a nice script.
@djslack @therealjrn OK, I’d actually buy that!
@djslack @mehcuda67 @therealjrn Likewise! But I suppose that having them do it is naught but a pipe dream.
@djslack @rpstrong @therealjrn I saw what you did there.
I would really like a plain one that’s a neutral color, not black.
If you must print something, how about a subtle leaf pattern or a tree?
@kdemo I think you are onto something. Like a bamboo stencil or a barebone tree.
@alose @kdemo Maybe on a slightly darker background so that it’s not stained immediately upon deployment.
Regarding the kitchen mat, it should say…
Bon Appitit
@cengland0 (1) “Don’t just stand there, wash something”
@cengland0 “At least WASH YOUR HANDS”
@cengland0 “No shirt, no shoes – you’ll fit right in”
@cengland0 “No, I said: One Might Stand Here”
@cengland0 “Get your free foot massage here”
@cengland0
THIS KITCHEN
IS A meh ZING
Bone Apple Tea!
On the mat it should say 'if you can read this tell my wife to get back to work"
Just kidding, I’ll think of something actually funny later. Maybe. Or not.
@djslack MY WIFE!
On them mats, My go to is always “dinosaurs” or “dinosaur eggs”.
If only these were rechargeable.
@yakkoTDI Wouldn’t you have to keep them in the fridge/freezer then?
I’m assuming they’re not (because it doesn’t say so) but are these waterproof or water resistant? They’d make good cheap shower lights if so. (My bathroom shower never got a light installed for some weird reason)
Paw prints! Who doesn’t love paw prints, and I’ve never seen paw print mats in stores. You could do regular cuddly/domesticated-type animals, and then some crazy versions, too: flamingo prints, giraffe prints, part of a giant mammoth print? All good. Or go with cryptid prints: Sasquatch, chupacabra, you get the gist.
Yay kitchen mats!
I see it, but what does COB stand for and is there a standard measurement of its luminosity?
@craigcush chip on board (as opposed to discrete or SMD LEDs) and probably not.
It has to do with how the LEDs are constructed. The entire yellow ring has LEDs embedded in it and they are directly on the circuit board (pretty much).
@djslack thanks, makes perfect sense after hearing it.
@craigcush There is an ANSI standard for measuring luminous output. The light source is placed inside or directed into a white sphere (a.k.a integrating sphere) and the light is measured at one point. That should give the average luminous flux produced by the light.
/image big integration sphere
@awk @craigcush Holy Mother of Labrats!!! Who makes a sphere that big? I used to service Varian spectroscopy instruments but we had nothing that size. Ours were like 100-300mm iirc.
@booogerbrain @craigcush They can get pretty big, imagine needing to test a large LED panel or something like that.
Why oh why am I a sucker for these kinds of things…? Fuckin VMP…

@shahnm cuz you gotta use up your batteries somehow otherwise that population explosion in your fridge might lead to overcrowding and your batteries may start an uprising.
Put a particularly horrifying Irk face on it.
@djslack something like this was my thought too
Make it look like a mine shaft, so from the right angle (maybe a few feet back from the long side) it looks like there’s a hole in the floor.
Dimensions?
@purwin most likely 3.
@warpedrotors accurate.
I have no pucks to give.
@mike808 “Behold, the closet where I glow my pucks. And lo, see that it has grown dark.”
Dang, you’re on a roll tonight, @djslack! (Or would that be role?)
I could use a beaker logo kitchen mat.
Just sayin.
@RogerWilco ooh, then it also becomes a science mat!

And it should be Georgia red.

@jeffreywsnyder so I can pay more, have to deal with a mail-in rebate, and go to Menard’s?

@jeffreywsnyder @MrMark @warpedrotors ok, but I can’t go to Menard’s in my underwear. At least not again.

First thought: Meh is selling 4 roles of colored electrical tape. How practical.
Second thought (sanity returning): Wait, this is Meh.
Ideas for the kitchen fatigue mat- “Stand here if you didn’t cook”, “Choreplay is the new foreplay”, " Real men do dishes", " No husband has ever been shot while doing the dishes", “your turn”
@davidwr99 Does your wife ever get mad when she asks you for her purse, and you accidentally hand her yours?
@warpedrotors Nah. She left me for a guy that doesn’t do dishes.
@davidwr99 You said sometimes!
@warpedrotors I did. but then I thought of a funnier response.
Kitchen Fatigue mat idea - Say " Wash" on one left side and “Rinse” on the right side.
@davidwr99 but wash is on the right and rinse on the left on mine!
@davidwr99 @djslack Rotate the mat 180°.
“But now the words are upside down.”
“But now I can’t see the printing at all.”
@davidwr99 @djslack They could have two variants
Did Mr. Miyagi do something like “wax on, wax off” but related to doing the dishes?
@djslack He died. Is that what you were thinking of?
Kitchen Fatigue mat idea- two people with talk bubbles, firs tone says " Use the dishwasher" The other one responds " I AM the Dishwasher"
Mat - slightly used litter box.
Broken glass.
I would buy neither of those!
All you bloody purple people have me trained to think “no purple one, eh?”. Just call me Pavlovsknickers.
So the 90’s are coming back in full force. You will only be slightly ahead of your time (depending on how quickly this project moves) if you print up ten thousand “IT’S PEANUT BUTTER JELLY TIME!!!” mats. They will soon be retro chic.

Kitchen fatigue mat ideas:
Hi! I’m Matt!
The dishwasher is broke. But he gets his check Thursday.
Stand here for some dirty fun.
““So here’s what we want to do–we want you to help us figure out what to print on these kitchen fatigue masks.””
I’m genuinely intrigued by the concept of kitchen fatigue masks.
@alacrity @dseanadams’s book is coming today and I swear I’ll assplode if he has as many misspellings as he does on meh.
@alacrity They’re TACTICAL!
As to the mats- a print of a hole in the floor would be about right, or a face looking back up through said hole…
@alacrity or a nice iron grate with rusty padlock and hasp and a child’s (or Jesse Pinkman’s) pleading hand reaching up? Or is that taking it too far?
@djslack that’ll work- hell, a pissed off downstairs neighbor through the hole would do it too.
@djslack better yet, a rope attached to a basket with skin moisturizer in it halfway down the hole…
“The Floor Underneath is Clean, I Promise”

I’d love a kitchen mat with a world map on it. But if also buy a mat that says meh!
I have a front door mat (that I may have even purchased here about 3-4 years ago!) that says “NOT A TRAP DOOR.”
It still cracks me up when I come home.

It’s late; time to get the puck out of here.
How about a mat with a mirror finish. Asking for a friend.
“Stand Here”
“This Space Intentionally Left Blank”

@thebigtverberg AAA? Nope. That’s the mark of a garbage light with no battery life.
@thebigtverberg I agree…suction cup does not work AT ALL. But the magnet is great and the light is bright. Great for my pantry closet.
@Bumplepimp This is the way.

Since mine will just end up looking like this anyway, how about this:
