@sporemaster97 5 ай бұрын

That's pretty crazy to me too, because when I used to work at Walmart, I was shopping after work one day and I saw a projector on clearance for $15. An actual, working projector, not a cardboard box. It's 720p, and I knew it wasn't going to be a home theater type of experience, but for what I paid, it's more than serviceable for outside movie nights or whatever. How can you spend almost the same amount of money and get *this*

@Puddlemuck14 5 ай бұрын

@@Rhodeygirl Not really false advertising. It does project an image. Doesn't claim to have any electronics inside. It's basically just mirrors reflecting what's on your screen. Which is why you need to turn it upside down. Only way for that to work through the lenses. Which is also what other projectors do, but better with other software and a light source to produce a better image. This is basically what you get without all the other components of what we usually think of when we talk about a projector. But it's still technically a projector because it is a device that projects. Does it horribly, but does do what it's advertising.

Bladeless fans are a bit of a con because promoting it as bladeless isn't true. They absolutely have blades, it's just that the fan is inside the base. I suspect unless you buy one of the full size floors (also, more expensive) they probably aren't very good. And you're right about it being loud (probably because it's made of cheap materials).

1:11 Have you ever tried a telescopic backscratcher? They are *REALLY* useful, not only for reaching all places of your back you normally can’t reach, but it collapses to about the length of a pencil (around 7-8 inches) making it _VERY_ easily portable! And a bonus function if you keep one in your bag, it can be used to get things off the top shelves while grocery shopping (just extend it and use it kinda like a grabber) 🥳
