Why Tech Wednesday: This Pickle Rick Gold Pendant is a Crime Against Humanity

Look, I enjoy Rick and Morty as much as the next guy (as long as that next guy isn’t stabbing a McDonald’s employee for some McNuggy sauce), but these memes have got to go. Watching Rick and Morty doesn’t make you genius, remember, it’s just a silly Back to the Future parody.

But now there is Pickle Rick Jewelry, yes now you can own your gold or silver pendant of your favorite mad scientist after being soaked in brine. What has the world come to?

First they screamed “Wubba-Lubba Dub Dub!” and I did not speak out,  for I thought it was kinda funny.

Then they shouted “Get Shwifty!” and I did not speak out,  for I still thought it was kinda funny.

Finally, they screamed “I’m Pickle Rick!” and I cringed, but there was no left to speak for me.

Available for $39 from Midas Gold, just don’t tell I sent you or I’ll deny it.

Mr. Fusion Car Charger Looks Cool, But I Wanted Power Laces

 

Live out your childhood dreams of living in the far away tomorrow of 2015 with this Back to the Future Part II Mr. Fusion for charging you phone.

The charger easily slips into your car’s cup holder and has dual 2 amp USB charging ports and give you an extra 12v cigarette lighter. It’s powered with a 12v plug, so no need to throw your trash in it. Of course the trade-off is that it won’t be able to provide enough energy to power your flux capacitor, so for now, you’re still suck using good ol’ uranium to power your time-travel adventures.

Available from ThinkGeek for $40.  I mean I’d rather have Nike’s self lacing sneakers, but they only released a few hundred pairs, so they go for about $20,000 a pair. I guess I’ll just stick to my car charger for now.

Disappointed With The iPhone X? Why Not Buy A $1,000 Tin Can

Remember Tiffany? No, not that stuck-up girl from high school who had rich parents that bought her a new Porsche after turning 16. I’m talking about the jewelry company that your grandma used to talk about 30 years ago. Well, apparently someone told them that Supreme is able to slap their name on a plain t-shirt and watch it sell for hundreds of dollars, because now they’re selling a tin can for $1,000.

Oh, but don’t worry this isn’t an ordinary tin can. This one is made of silver and Vermeil, which is apparently gold coated in silver. So, it’s made with gold, but still looks a regular aluminum tin can, genius.

Look people, we have to agree right now not to tell other companies about Supreme. Before you know it, we’ll have the GAP selling overalls at $199, Homegoods will sell an X-shaped mirror for $649 and Sketchers will start selling their sneakers exclusively in Manhattan, starting at $1,999 a pair.

Candle That Melts Like Eleven’s Nosebleed From Stranger Things

Stranger Things is an awesome show, and if you haven’t seen it, you should fix that. If you don’t have Netflix, then I just don’t understand why you’re even on the internet. If you have seen the show, you know that whenever Eleven uses her psychic power she bleeds from the nose.

What can be more fitting to set the mood to watch Stranger Things season 2 than a candle holder that leaks red wax from the nose? Well, okay you probably binged season 2 the night it came out, but what could be fitting as you anxiously wait 365 days for season 3?

The holder, made by Firebox, comes with two red candle sticks and a handy ‘nose picker’ tool to clear any boogers that Eleven might end up with.

The holder is available for pre-order for $39 though Firebox, but should arrive before X-Mas. I can’t think of anything more festive.

Learn To Duel Like A Jedi At This Lightsaber Academy

If you’ve ever wanted to learn to fight with a lightsaber you can now take a class that’ll teach you to fight like a real Jedi…if you’re in Singapore.

Each 60 minute class promises to show you the basics to becoming an apprentice Jedi. Now, 60 minutes may seem like a short amount amount of time to learn lightsaber techniques, but just look at Luke, he had almost no training but he saved the day, didn’t he? And Rey has literally no training at all. Basically I’m saying you could become a better Jedi than Rey by flying to Singapore and signing up for a single 60-minute session.

At the end of the class, you get to fight an opponent one-on-one and the winner gets to take the loser’s hand. Oh, and the lightsabers make awesome whooshing noises and light-up, so cool.

Each class costs $25. I suppose it’s more of a fun thing to do with a couple of friends if you’re in the area, but I’m pretty sure I can’t refund a plane ticket to Singapore, so I’ll see you losers when I’m a Jedi Master.

Buzzfeed Made a Card Game That’s Basically An Awkward Version of Cards Against Humanity

Buzzfeed, those people that steal content online and repost it as their own, have come up with their own card game that steals a little from Cards Against Humanity and a little from Truth or Dare. It’s kind of original, but really stupid. Let me explain.

The game is called Social Sabotage, and it’s pretty much exactly like CAH in the sense that there are situational cards, and people play their own funny cards to complete the sentence. The only difference is that you’re supposed to do what ever embarrassing thing people come up with. For example, you play a “Send your mom…” card and the other players decide to play “A video of you twerking.” And you’re supposed to actually do that.

It’s a fine idea, but yea, no one’s gonna do what the card tells them. Oh, let me post some ridiculously awkward thing to this girl I like, or you know, we could just watch Stranger Things season 2 and throw this game away in the garbage, that’s an idea too.

Other than putting yourself in a horrifically awkward post, there’s not much humor in the actual cards themselves, so just play Cards Against Humanity.

$25 will get you Social Sabotage at Walmart, or a Cards Against Humanity base set on Amazon. The choice is yours.

Razer Announces D.Va Themed Headset and Mouse

Razer, the now major phone smartphone brand, has announced a headset and computer mouse in the style of D.Va from Overwatch at Blizzcon 2017. Now, don’t sit here and tell me you don’t play Overwatch, everyone plays this game, it’s the digital equivalent of heroin.

The headset, modeled after the one the mech pilot Hana Song wears, has a range of 20 Hz – 20 kHz, 40 mm drivers, Neodymium magnets and weighs a total of 322g. Remember, D.Va was a professional gamer in South Korea before signing up to fight for her country. Yea, this game really is for nerds.

The mouse is rated as being “tournament-grade”, and I’m sure it’s great, but let’s be real here, the headset is the real star of the show.

The headset will retail for $79, and will be available soon. Oh, and the mouse is available now for $59.

I want that headset, It’ll complete my D.Va cosplay. Now, I won’t cosplay outside, but I will wear it around the house and stare at myself in the mirror.
