While technically not photos they are cool and amazing 👍

^ those oil paintings are amazing!

145 foot long slot car track Clearly a guy with way too much time on his hands but imagine how jealous your kids friends would be if you built this for them....actually I'm guessing this guy lives on his own...or with his mum!

Whatever it is, I am seriously jealous.

This engine blew a cylinder on this guy's house. Noticed it embedded in his wall?

Tried the elevator thing, doesn't work. The pirate patch thing is wrong (comes from looking at the sun for navigation). The 9V thing is an internet practical joke. I seriously doubt the skull thing given that bone doesn't make a great transmitter of radio waves (and it's backward). I'll try the free air pump thing, but I'm skeptical.

Does work. Next time you're in a parking lot at a store, walk out of range of your car alarm. Then put the fob under your chin and press the button. My mom told me about this years ago, I doubted her and she proved it to me.

I think it depends on the elevator model, but the type we have at my school have a reset switch above the door, between the shaft and the car. Call both directions and when the car arrives, hit the reset regardless of if the car is going up or down. It resets the queue, which won't necessarily take you directly to your floor but you can steal someone else's car if it is going past you in the other direction that you need (or if someone is in the thing when you "hack" it).

Air is free at all of the stations here anyway. Most of the time it's the water that you have to pay for, but even water is free at the Chevrons.

Yeah, the skull one does work. I've done it a few times, though I wouldn't think it's because of that reason.... then again, I'm quite an ignorant, so I can't give you an alternative reason why it works.

Doesn't #3 of the domestic ones kind of defeat the purpose of a door chain?

Yeah, I think that's kinda the idea...

The one with rolling the bottom of the chip packet works really well.

My nose has been stuffed for the past 5 days, with my left nostril unable to even suck in air, so I tried the "push up on roof of mouth, then between eyes, repeat" trick.

At first I was like "ok, that didn't work" and kept reading them, then I sniffed a few seconds later and its completely unblocked and I'm able to blow it clean.

My mind AND NOSE has been blown.

Shisha is about the best thing to clear a blocked nose and ****** sinuses.

Edit: Hmm, such a mild word...

But it's not an amazing or cool photo, is it? They don't belong in this thread.

Well I reckon the chip thing is pretty amazing and cool I've never gone back after trying it. They sit perfectly on the arm of my sofa - it's like my own personal popcorn bucket

And neither do the bag designs

99% of UK garages have free air and water available to everyone, and rightly so. They make more than enough money on the overpriced food and drink for sale in the 'mini-mart' store!

You must be so much fun on a saturday night.

No really.

I don't remember the last time I SAW free air and/or water. They used to be 25 cents, now they're usually 50 or 75. When they work at all, that is.

They're usually free to paying customers though, and most times the cashier will just hit the remote activate button from inside if you ask, even without buying anything.
