I’m pretty sure Dyson killed these themselves the moment they turned these from concept to product.
I just hope they continue working on the air filtering butt plug because my friends and family are having a tough time being around me after dinner.
(I love an excuse to bring up my favorite thing out of the US Patent database.)
If only there was a way to reuse vape pens for something useful/funny
Wealthy Republicans have them working on a filtered and thermocontrolled chastity belt as top priority.
How much coke were they on when they came up with those?
Just slightly less than when they came up with a fan that doesn’t buffet you with air as though that’s not what you want from a fan.
edit: For the low low price of…C$500??!
“I’ll be completely honest, quite often we work in an obsessive nature," says Jake. "We want this product. We want to make this thing. Sometimes before actually evaluating what the market response might be. And the market didn’t exist. So you’ve got to take those risks.”
So they did 0 market study, decided to build a gas station on the peak of a mountain and now marvel how nobody came.
Moron.
With all the wildfire smoke in the air, I’m actually sorta interested in these now. I wonder if you can get em cheap.
Would guess this announcement will only boost interest esp from collectors
Do companies release these nonsensical products as justification to squat on patents?
That and sometimes R&D are given funds to fuck around with, worst case scenario nothing comes of it best case they make a massive return on investment. Sometimes you need to throw together a prototype to see if anything out of it is useful, sure the device as a whole may be pointless but maybe someone stumbled upon a useful quick release concept.
For a second, my brain pictured these combined with the only dynamics it knows from Dyson - the air blade thingies. It had a good chuckle picturing me getting a vigorous jet of air right in my schnozz.
Edit: may make for a pretty good decongestant, just, uuh… pray you like the taste of mucus…
Those were dead before they were released.
Dyson was dead to me when James Dyson campaigned for Brexit on the grounds that it would be better for British jobs, and then, once Brexit was done, moved his whole operation out of the UK to Singapore. After which he whined to the media about how people were being hard on him, calling him things like “hypocrite”, “traitor” or “weasly greedy little Farage-fellating wanker the country would be better off without.”
EU referendum: Sir James Dyson says Britain better off out
Leave campaign’s tweet about Dyson staying in the UK has aged terribly
Brexit backer Dyson says hypocrisy claim over HQ move abroad ‘incredibly harmful’
I missed that Dyson had sued people for calling him out on his hypocrisy. What a complete piece of shit that guy is.
Ironically their timing was almost spot-on for COVID… I could see these being somewhat useful for air travel, for example.
who cares
