I keep a light up plastic sword beside my bed for this very reason. The same fun for a tenth of the cost and it hangs nicely on my towel rack while I pee.

Does it make swishing sounds, too? I'd buy it

I like to go full horror movie with a single match.

they keep me warm at night

[–] [email protected] 33 points 1 year ago

okay that sounds kinda dope tbh

[–] [email protected] 18 points 1 year ago (2 children)

I would actually use this.

They're blue. Exactly the wrong spectrum to get you to sleep.

"I got these kickass orbs, but now I'm wired as balls at 3AM."

🤷🏻‍♂️

Dude in /r/LV426 was making blown glass Alien eggs, couldn't resist. I can leave the red light on all night, but still see and not get wired up. Also, long wavelengths make skin look smoother and nicer. "Does your wife like 'photographs'? Know what I mean?" Nudge, nudge, wink, wink.

(I'm channeling Python, but sex in red light is truly a thing.)

EDIT: You can set them to red! Now I'm diggin' them.

All due respect, but 3D printed versions world be far more cost effective and safer, but... 🤷🏼‍♂️

[–] [email protected] 9 points 1 year ago (2 children)

You and me both. I'm just afraid to look it up and see the cost.

[–] [email protected] 16 points 1 year ago (3 children)

I just did. It's $70, which seems excessive for what it is. Oh well.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 1 year ago

Look up "moon lamp" on your retailer of choice. For like $15 you can get a single rechargeable sphere like this. And you can set it to whatever color you want.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 year ago (1 children)

See, it's times like this when I really wish that the whole "/u/Stamets and Startrek.website are paid Paramount shills" thing was true.

I would like money.

I knew I recognized your username from something but I couldn’t figure it out, thank you

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Wait, you mean you recognized the username as being from a Trek show or because I post constantly to the trek communities?

Probably the circuitry required for the "wireless" charging so you can just drop it in that little holder instead of having to unplug it

Assuming ofc you can take the image at face value

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

Wireless charging is just a tiny bit of copper and a cheap (probably cents) controller

It seems to suck if the reviews are any indication

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

That does make it a little better

"Eris...Get your rock, off my Toilet."

[–] [email protected] 12 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (3 children)

"Don't joke! You ever been hit with a rock? Ahh... I miss Eris."

:3

(On a tangentially-related note, it still kinda blows my mind that Eris Morn the creepy space witch... is actually a Hunter and not a Warlock.)

[–] [email protected] 8 points 1 year ago

Honestly after her time alone in the Hellmouth she could have been a Titan and still come out a hunter. She's basically a hive god now; glow up goals.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago

I know she's a hunter, but lets be honest, she's done more magic in this last season than Ikora has in the last couple of years. I say let's make her an honorary warlock.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago

it's always a fun thing to bring up to New Lights. Homies are like 'no way' every time and I love it

[–] [email protected] 9 points 1 year ago (3 children)

Where do you put it in the bathroom?

[–] [email protected] 10 points 1 year ago (2 children)

On the counter and then it rolls off the edge and falls to the floor and shatters

[–] [email protected] 7 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Judging by the look of it in the pic I'd guess it's those silicon balls that LEDs can be put into, so it'd be squishy and not shatter

Actually a pretty smart use of led tech

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)
[–] [email protected] 8 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (1 children)

It says "...each ball has a battery in it that powers an internal LED bulb which lasts for up to 30 minutes on its own."

Then the next sentence starts with "The night-light glow balls also have no electronics in them..." So which is it?

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I, too, was bothered by that. I was hoping they were phosphorescent rather than LED.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 year ago (1 children)

The Amazon listing says the balls are phosphorescent and doesn't mention batteries.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago

Oh good. The article was less clear.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

seems like it would make more sense for a lamp with wireless charging pad.

It can't roll off the counter and provides improved illumination for guys to aim. For ladies, they can sit with confidence that the seat is down and there are no spiders. Then, it is gently rinsed by the flush afterwards.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 year ago (1 children)

After a cursory search, it turns out toilet illumination is already a thing.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

I'm gonna be honest, I was pulling things out of my rear end on that one. That it's actually a thing already is both amusing and disappointing.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Maybe it could set on the towel rack. Idk. That'd be my first concern also. Even after cleaning my own bathroom I assume aerosolized germs are everywhere and carry nothing in there that doesn't belong there.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago

Especially with kids, who aren't the most conscientious hand washers

[–] [email protected] 7 points 1 year ago

White/Blue light is a fucking terrible choice for something like this. Blue light makes you more alert and reduces quality of sleep, so you'll be more tired than before you had this.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 1 year ago (1 children)

That will certainly look a bit Ood wink wink

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago

We will feed...

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

Do you need to put these outside in a storm to recharge them?
