@Kerig3 well they also said you could swing lying down… at just under 38" in diameter these kids are very short too to be able to lie down. Perhaps the kids are round and that is why the swing is round? Yah think?
@Kerig3 I wasn’t sure whether to laugh because it’s absurd that an average child is 220 lbs or cry because the average child is approaching 220 lbs…
On the other hand, @RedOak has a point - the 220-lb child didn’t get that way by playing outdoors.
Maybe Alphabet isn’t investing you because you’re trying to pass off counterfeit “Nest” products like this…
And if it’s so bad that they have to make crappy photoshopped pics instead of actually having someone, you know, sit on it, it must be pretty crappy. Not paying half a Benjamin for this counterfeit crappity-crap-crap.
these are a blast! Wait… the one I used had a hole in the middle of it and I was under it while it spun… ok- not quite the same, but man it was worth $1,250nt.
but i’d have to hire someone to install it in our old boston attic apartment and there’s likely no secure place to do that. we’re gonna need some heftier command strips…
@jaypeeh Funny story, after I posted this is made me think of that classic simpsons scene where lisa is trying to come up with an anagram for Jeremy Irons that describes him (Alec Guinness=Genuine Class) and all she comes up with is “Jeremy’s …Iron…”
Then, I got curious what anagrams could be found in my name so I googled anagram, and the “Did you mean” suggestion by google is pretty clever.
@bklamber5 There is also a smaller (not round, more of a sling) swing at Ikea. And I think it is only like $23 or so. I am tempted to put it up for my daughter in my house. If I knew where to put it.

At least it’s a unique product today.
Not sure if it’s a toy or if it’s kinky…
@daveinwarsh I was disappointed no kinky product pictures were included
@daveinwarsh This girl gives me kinky thoughts.
@daveinwarsh Only kinky if it has a hole in it.
@cengland0
/image disapproving glare
@Kerig3 Saturday will bring the kinky version: it will come bundled with a knife and some candy corn.
@cengland0 That might not be legal.
@cengland0 I think that is really a girl, as in not a woman yet?
@therealjrn
@Kyser_Soze I believe that is a completely different product, ma’am.
@cengland0 URA
Suppose I didn’t look closely enough. Couldn’t see her face so I thought she was a grown woman. Oops.
@Kyser_Soze WOW looks like way too much work and storage could be a problem…
@Kyser_Soze What’s this? Some kind of Dragon Ball Z simulator?
@daveinwarsh Silly, what you see is just a shadow…
@TechnicGeek actually if the strap gives way, he will be “draggin’ balls”
Are you sheeting me?
And does it have bluetooth or built in speakers?
If not, I stayed up for nothing!!
“Holds up to 330 pounds, so roughly 1.5 average American children”
Made me laugh, hard.
@Kerig3 well they also said you could swing lying down… at just under 38" in diameter these kids are very short too to be able to lie down. Perhaps the kids are round and that is why the swing is round? Yah think?
@Kerig3 Yep. The closest the average American kid will get to this outdoor real world item is a photo of it on their phone or tablet.
@RedOak both points sadly true.
@Kerig3 I wasn’t sure whether to laugh because it’s absurd that an average child is 220 lbs or cry because the average child is approaching 220 lbs…
On the other hand, @RedOak has a point - the 220-lb child didn’t get that way by playing outdoors.
@Kerig3 But can my ceiling or tree branch hold that much weight?
I know what this is
This is for sex stuff isn’t it?
I don’t really get how it works, but I can’t really imagine any other scenario that would explain paying $99 swing… other than sex stuff
@Chops I’ll send you a schematic
@Chops The product shot experts at Nest Swing seem to have already captured something close…
@Chops I misread your name as Chaps and assumed you had a lot of credibility on this product.
@djslack sorry… not sexy… she just looks constipated!
@chienfou All complaints should be directed to the Nest Swing
photographerphotoshopperproduct photo guy.The writeup missed its use as a hoverport landing pad for cheap Meh drones to validate mad piloting skills.
The other swings like this on Amazon (with higher ratings) are $59. This seems like a terrible Meh price.
So it’s a sex swing right? We aren’t pretending kids use this are we?
@parallelwoody Prefer the second version.
Meh. No candy corn?
The horribly Photoshopped action shots for this product are most excellent.
Kids these days and their fancy schmancy swings. When I was a kid, we had a tire. And we had to pluck them off the truck ourselves.
/s
@narfcake
Surely you can’t be serious.
@rearly I’m serious
And don’t call me Shirley.
Anyone remember swinging on the porch in the cool of the evening? You need a swing for two people for that, not 1.5 children.
I betcha can’t get “Justa Swinging” out of your head now.
@hchavers Swiiinginn
@Brasssong Um, is that a chicken? If not, it’s a really ugly dog.
@TheFLP and it looks like he is using another bird as his swing.
@moonhat People wanted kinky … and all they got was a chicken dominatrix.
The goat was better. But how do you get any of these animals to sit in a swing, anway?
@TheFLP Super Glue… lots of Super Glue!

Take a look at this which for about $19 more, is rated for 600#, and has 600+ reviews, and is rated at 95% 4-5 stars [mostly 5’s].
It’s now on my wish list
This one is $15 more and holds 400#, also with 95% 4-5 stars, and over 400 reviews.

Just sayin’
@PhysAssist The ropes on that one do not look that comfortable to sit on, unless you’re being paid to sit on it and look like it doesn’t hurt.
The Box says model number is SW03MS-BE, so where is meh getting SWMSG from?
Is it April Fools already?

I’ve seen better write-ups from you guys, too.
Sorry, I must be in a crappy mood tonight.
these are a blast! Wait… the one I used had a hole in the middle of it and I was under it while it spun… ok- not quite the same, but man it was worth $1,250nt.
No stirrups, no sale.
What size bidet goes with Swingan nest swing - regular or long kind?
The poorly photoshopped product photos are appalling. No wonder this shit ended up in the discount pile
Mmmm, gouda…
And…done with monthly membership…haven’t seen anything worth the $5 shipping free in a long time…
@SweetNsourJess I have thought that too, but then you can’t get it back. Drat!
For those who picked up the pocket massager this goes great with it!
Looks like it would hurt my Taint…
i want one
but i’d have to hire someone to install it in our old boston attic apartment and there’s likely no secure place to do that. we’re gonna need some heftier command strips…
I’ve literally never commented before, but after checking and seeing no one else said it, that’s a…
SWINGAN A MISS!
@dudequeenrocks of course it is… Didn’t you see the pics???
/giphy crazy swing!
SWINGAN is an anagram for WANG SIN.

“Anagram”
@jaypeeh the ram gets nagged by ewe
@jaypeeh yeah, they do go out of their way to be entertaining sometimes. Makes such gems worth looking for.
The Amazon product page is so bad. I think they put less effort into their own product page than Meh did to put up the resale page.
Can this be used as a sex swing?
@nostrom0 sure…if you’re a swinger…
@nostrom0
There’s a 40 inch / 400lb swing on Amazon for $51. Just saying…way too many makers of this to justify paying $54
