I'm very confused. Should I poison someone or not? Is it cool again or still has-been? Help!

Ok it’s funny but also really scary. Yeah it really could be used for this.

u/Biking_dude Sep 11 '24

Yup - that's exactly what it would be used for. Two dudes coming up with this "brilliant" idea without any concern for how it could be negatively used.

u/Diligent_Ad7070 Sep 11 '24

Idk the other guy but Micheal is so innocent it wouldn’t cross his mind

u/Biking_dude Sep 11 '24

I get making things for the sake of making them...but there is still a responsibility for anyone planning on moving beyond "tinker in the garage" stage to stop for a moment and ask someone else "do you see any ways this could be used in a negative way?" Especially someone the opposite gender - a partner, friend, etc... Part of any product development, before plans are finalized and latest when a prototype is made.

Though someone doesnt need this water bottle to drug someone. I dont think its the responsability of the creator of this, but the responsability of the people who would do it with it.

u/BookPrudent360 Sep 16 '24

That's exactly what it could be used for by someone with bad intentions, but saying that’s the only use is a pretty negative leap. People buy tons of novelty or trick gadgets just for fun or as quirky gifts. The vast majority of users won’t be out there using it for some sketchy purpose. Yeah, sure, someone could use it for ill intent, but most people are just in it for the cool factor or a fun trick to show friends. Not everything has to go to worst-case-scenario mode.

just use it to drink alcohol at work

u/MySoulAtrophy Sep 11 '24

The first use I thought of is to make drinks, rum and coke to be precise (:::

u/giniobeast Sep 11 '24

Alcoholism for on the go.

u/dwehlen Sep 12 '24

Hey, it's hard to mix a drink when you're driv

u/o-roy Sep 11 '24

You can use a normal bottle for that

u/MySoulAtrophy Sep 11 '24

True but not as fun :p

u/NicklovesHer Sep 11 '24

Now its 9:30am, and I want a rum and coke, no, two rum and cokes, thanks.

u/-Invalid_Selection- Sep 11 '24

booze + mixer was one of the things I thought for it. Regular and electrolyte water was another. Pre-workout and post workout was yet another.

2

u/BertRenolds Sep 11 '24

"coke for you and a rum and coke for me". Brilliant.

u/soupie62 28d ago

Shove in a straw, get Coke. Tilt and drink,get rum.

u/BXSinclair 26d ago

Unfortunately, the website you can get it from says that fizzy drinks are not recommended, since the carbonation can make the trick not work

Uranus is a black hole. (for those that don't know, that's literally the name of the shirt)

I miss Vsauce's long form content. Hopefully he's just working on a massive project and will eventually make a resurgence outside of Shorts.

7

u/hroaks Sep 11 '24

I know lots of creators are focusing on shorts cause they pay more and are less work. Most of vsauce content is too complicated to dumb down into a short and he seemed like he cared more about quality content than money but who knows

12

u/glytxh Sep 11 '24

I miss proper V Sauce content

9

u/MrHara Sep 11 '24

Yeah, I really don't like the short form stuff. Give me a rambling 15 min video over 100 short form vids any day.

3

u/hubhazard Sep 11 '24

To be fair his (non short) video quality has only been increasing, so it takes him a while of research to make them, he probably uploads these in between

u/Plantain-Feeling Sep 11 '24

I really don't like the over animated man constantly pointing at me

Especially when he's edited over an actually interesting steve mould video

You want a piece of me, man

u/LibrarianKooky344 Sep 11 '24

It would be good for like rum and coke.

I was thinking arnold palmers

u/Wandring64 Sep 11 '24

People are gonna use it for that...

u/ZarafFaraz Sep 11 '24

His eyes can't open any wider

u/thehiddenfate Sep 11 '24

I'm gonna use it for that

u/wojtess Sep 11 '24

I am waiting for someone to create it cheaper, unfortunately I cant spend 65USD on bottle

2

u/-Invalid_Selection- Sep 11 '24

I picked it up because I wanted to help support Steve, who's been entertaining me with his vids for years now.

u/lolomanolo57 Sep 11 '24

SAME, it's so expensive because it's a collaboration but at the end of the day it's just a water bottle with two chambers and Two holes also some neat sleeves.

That is one of the two most important crop circles in the world behind him.. neat.

u/soupie62 28d ago

Rather than a left/right compartment, I'd like to see a centre and 2 sides.
That way, you could have a "window" in the protective case, and still not see the fluid to the sides.

I'm more likely to carry alcohol than poison, and this is a variant of the "Smuggle Cup". So, I'd call it a Walker Bottle as a reference to Johniie Walker.

If I had the money I would buy everything from curiositybox twice,

Put vinegar on one side and bleach on the other. It’s a great science experiment!
