No one should have great expectations after spending only 99¢.


Neoliberal_Nightmare

I think its surprisingly good for 99 cent.


Atheios569

Turns out lead doesn’t bounce that well.


butterdrinker

If that is pure lead it's a deal purely for the raw materials


Atheios569

Indeed; also, this device looks like the metal used (if it’s even metal) is too light to have the intended effect, so probably something like a tin or aluminum alloy of some sort.


butterdrinker

It's all plastic probably Alluminium stuff its valued at minimum 4 dollars and above on AliExpress (I spent 1 week looking for sturdy phone stands there)


have_a_point

This... also maybe some hollow plastic/ metal balls that vary in densities fucking up the oscillations


bagaget

The string is too short on the middle marble so it bounces up instead of transferring all the momentum to the next one.


Atheios569

I think you nailed it, after watching it with the sound on. This sounds like steel, and you can barely make out visually that it is slightly too short by like micrometers.


Kraujotaka

Probably just potmetal,


CatBroiler

It's usually a zinc alloy. They mix zinc with whatever scrap metal they have at that moment, and sometimes they've got lead. It's like a lucky dip, you don't know what you'll get.


GakkoAtarashii

I think it hilarious you think it’s metal.


Atheios569

Hey, I had the caveat lol


SubstantialBass9524

Wait till you get a kid swallowing one and then see if the lead poisoning is still a good deal lmao


sjaakwortel

Lead, for that price, count me in.


Holden_place

Piss… But shit it was 99 cents.  


mind967

Unless it’s an Arizona Ice Tea


twobit211

i know a used bookstore that sells three classic novels for a dollar.  dickens is right out, though 


aRiOle

What you know about rocking a wolf on your noggin?


Alternative_Wafer410

Considering each half life and portal game only cost me 99 cents I think my expectations are fine.


DFCMarxVideos

Is funny though


Omniscientcy

Then this is the wrong sub.

One of your balls is twisted, gently moved it back into position and it should function normally again.

Hey oohhh


RetardedGuava

You just made me burst out laughing at 1:30 am


justarandom82113114

Damn, i laughed at 1:30 am too


bagaget

String is too short, not centered with the others so it bounces up.


Liddle_Jawn

Give yer balls a tug!


laynslay

Hail Satan  Jesus was a soy boy 


pyreguardian

Bro jesus was cool. He was a communist (give to the poor), a pacifist (turn the other cheek). And he definitely smoked weed


TheLowClassics

I like to picture my Jesus as a white dude drinking old granddad wearing a maga hat. He’s in the vip section with Mel Gibson and Trump jr and they’re doing ALL the cocaine.  He’s wearing a shirt that says “no fatties or poors”


pyreguardian

eh jesus was too cool for maga.


TheLowClassics

Doesn’t seem like American Christians understand that  It’s almost as if they just made up a myth and pick and choose the parts they want to use as a weapon to dominate and intimidate people. Christians are a danger to western civilization.  They caused the fall of the Roman Empire.  They’re trying it again in my country.

I don’t fucking care about America dummy, I don’t even live there.

Ok then wheee does Jesus life gay people? Not England.  Not South America.  Not Russia.  Not Africa.  Are you in Antarctica?  Is penguin Jesus cool with gays?


matiEP09

I don’t know “wheee” is he “life-ing” gay people, as I am not familiar with the word “wheee”


TheLowClassics

Typos are cardinal sins I guess. Avoid the question anyway you can.  I expect this much from religious people. Because they’re inherently dishonest.  They lie to themselves the most.

The mobile site def has some problems.  Between the config management and the lack of for some features I’m forced to log out and log in to keep it working periodically.  The classic desktop site is still good, imo

He can’t love anyone, he’s not real

I can't tell if this is satire or you're being serious. Either way, I hope life gets better for you. Maybe one day the wound that caused you to desire to talk down to people will heal, and you can feel at peace with the differences between people's beliefs and take joy in knowing people are following what makes them most happy and comforted Take care, stranger on the Internet. I hope you heal ❤️❤️❤️🥰


TheLowClassics

Wow that’s a wall of passive aggressive text I won’t read.  I hope you heal from your mental illness. 


ThingWithChlorophyll

Just to be clear so you'll understand, since I don't think you can otherwise. You are being downvoted for acting like mentally ill, not because you are not christian.

Says the one who wanted upvotes 💁, religion is a belief to unite humanity, even though I am an atheist I agree with it


TheLowClassics

I don’t want upvotes.  I just want to piss off religious people.  Mission accomplished.  Religion is a divisive thing as documented by thousands of years of human history.  You are no atheist if you think it unites people.  But that kind of lie is normal for religious dinguses

TheLowClassics

Good. It should be hard to read.  If you tolerate magic thinking you need a rude awakening. 


S6A6M

While I do tend to agree with what you're saying here, I strongly feel you are missing the fact that a door hinge is a mechanical device that allows two objects to rotate relative to each other about an axis of rotation. The most common type of hinge is the door hinge, which is used to attach a door to a frame. Hinges work by rotating about an axis, which allows the two objects that are attached to the hinge to move relative to each other. The axis of rotation can be either internal or external to the hinge.


TheLowClassics

How about Star Trek doors? Is there some kind of horizontal hinge?


LawngDik666

Don't have a dog in the fight, but I would say anyone that is tortured and willingly crucified with the belief that it's for the greater good of humanity is a certified badass. At the very least, not a qualified wimp.

I didn't say I believe it. Given that they're both fictional characters, I figured I'd play along. >Hail Satan, may our dark lord wrap you in his cloak of wisdom and guide you from the forest of ignorance from which you are a prisoner.  >Jesus was a wimp, which is why all tough guy Christians don’t act like him.  >Take your stupid magical thinking elsewhere.  All that right there, crazy. Don't project that on me, that's you. I'm 100% my own god and king, that's why my diks lawng.


TheLowClassics

Ok.  Wow.  You had me at  > I'm 100% my own god and king, that's why my diks lawng. I apologize for any offense I gave you.  I respect you a lot for this one sentence.  I mean that earnestly with all sincerity.  I am sorry  for being a dick to you and assuming you were some moron.  Truly.


Few-Score-9123

Bet you wouldn’t say that to Tim Tebow


TheLowClassics

Is that the dude who was too proud to be a tight end so he became a minor leaguer ? Tell him I said it would you?  


Few-Score-9123

Say it to his face in a dark alley, meet your maker


TheLowClassics

lol is that your Christianity?! You; “my god is so powerful I’ll send a retired football player to beat you up for talking shit” Your god is weak. Your faith in him is even weaker if me talking shit makes you resort to third hand threats.  Your Jesus is a bitch.  You worship a god that needs you for him to exist.  You hide behind celebrities you don’t know acting hypothetically.  What does that make you?  Christ like? lol. Yeah as I said.  Jesus was a a bitch. Couldn’t even fight. I saw that movie. Got his ass kicked.  😎


Few-Score-9123

You wouldn’t even know what hit you lol


TheLowClassics

Bro is this your internet tough guy stance? “If you ran into Tim Tebow in a dark alley you wouldn’t have the guts to tell the truth because Tim Tebow is my attack dog and he’ll beat you up in that dark alley because Tim Tebow is my spirit animal” F you and the horse you rode in on you stupid person.  Your beliefs are foolish. You are a waste of resources.  Omg you’re an embarrassment to our species.  Even your god thinks you’re a mistake.

In a way, I sure as hell wouldn't go through even a fraction of that pain for pretty much anything, let alone a bunch of humans


NeopiumDaBoss

While in his selfish plot to overthrow heaven, Lucifer got his ass handed to him by the Archangel Michael, an Angel being ranked second lowest of 9 Angel types in Christianity. He didn't make it past the second of the 3 lowest order's of Angel. Not only would Satan be harmless to Jesus in some hypothetical fight, Jesus wouldn't even give into the temptations, and simply show him forgiveness. Which is something you should give a try.


TheLowClassics

None of what you said is true.  Satan loves us.  Jesus only loves the sexy ones among us.  It’s why he’s in the gym all the time.  Those are good time gatekeeping abs.  Do you have a six pack?  No?! Don’t worry Satan still loves you

99 cents is not infuriating, it's expected.

Looks like the middle ball is off center a bit.


Puzzled_Muzzled

Im laughing so hard. There was no quality control at all, because noone knew what this was supposed to do.


EdKeane

More like nobody cared. Those 99 cents were probably their pay for the entire day at the shop.


SierraTango501

Bro its 99c, that they managed to MAKE and SELL this for 99c is already fucking impressive.

Just the packaging alone must have been 1/3 of the price.

AccumulatedFilth

There is child labour involved into something that doesn't even work. But it's the consumers fault, right?


Kosolovits

Of course it is. Consumers are the ones that make it possible for the dirty guys to get their pockets full with this. Even my 3 month old baby would know that you cannot get an honest product for only 1$.


AccumulatedFilth

So yoy think buying the same product at 3x price on Amazon is honest money? People are peeing in bottles there.


Kosolovits

Not all products, but most have higher prices, because of the supplier, who you have to pay the original price of the product. But if the product is cheap af, that just means that someone's missing their wage.


ReliantVox

Yes, it is, the fuck are you on about? This post isn’t even about the child labour, it’s about the finished product. If there was even so much as a hint towards child labour complaints in the original post yeah you’d have it, but there’s not, so you’re just a condescending fucking idiot.
