How can it be possible that there are any Mehtizens left who want a lantern, but waited through the last 47 lantern offerings in 2025 to buy one today??
@ItalianScallion@shahnm@yakkoTDI Some of us are just lumen and not interface snobs. I wouldn’t care if it came with mini or even USB Zero if it could output a million lumens!
@hchavers@PooltoyWolf I love my Dietz lantern, and I just found a store near me that has a whole Dietz section with lanterns, replacement parts, and globes in dozens of colors.
Something else!!
Meh.

@shahnm I am waiting for just the right design.
@shahnm @yakkoTDI I suspect some of them are waiting for ones with built-in batteries charged via USB-C not microUSB!

These are not lanterns. Lanterns have wicks and liquid fuel, not bulbs and batteries.
@hchavers Like these!

@brennyn @hchavers That store sounds amazing!
Are you expecting, or about to cause, an apocalypse?
I find it much more satisfying to curse the darkness.
Wait - no choice for have enough of these, no thanks for any more? How many do you have in the warehouse anyway?
/showme meh warehouse overloaded with lanterns
The new @mediocrebot is boring.
I crave these wondrous magic machinations to banish all shadows that lurk in these days of darkness.
… AA powered, retractable hangers and a magnetic base would be a treat.
Also … 2x speed margarita maker would be
ahh-MAAAAAAAAA-zing!! … but not a deal breaker.

Ah, you have met my entourage. You see my need, Join me, fair noble, in our righteous deeds of illumination-ness
It’d be great if y’all sold some sort of coupon for decluttering services to help me get rid of all my old lanterns.
The lanterns will continue until morale improves.
Enlightening!!
