Why is this a product? I could implement this myself in a weekend with a few open source libraries.

Hi guys it's me the Fusion 360 Persondudeguy here with a 45 minute video on how to 3D print yourself one of these at home! Start out by opening Fusion 360, and then create a sketch! Then press C to draw a circle. Then press C to draw another circle. Now you may be wondering how to 3D print this because you're subscribed to a channel about 3D printing and somehow need a helping hand with literally the most basic operation ever in 3D CAD. But that's okay, because thanks to today's sponsor, NerdVPN, your fishy ISP won't be able to somehow silently break TLS and find out what you're watching on YouTube and extort you for money! That is something that could actually happen, at least in a world that I've made up to sell you something you don't need! For just $9.99 a month you can connect to an OpenVPN instance someone set up on a $3/month VPS that one time. There's no logging because we looked for some and didn't find anyway, but then again, this whole "systemd" thing is new to us and we don't have logs of anything anywhere. Actually we can't even log into that box anymore. That's how you know it's secure! OK, $9.99 go buy it now! I use it myself if saying that will make you buy it. Now back to our content. We left off where you created two circles that will form the wall of your shitbowl! Now you just need to press E to extrude that out! How do you remember all these keys? Well it's actually pretty simple. C is for circle, because C is kind of shaped like a circle. E is for extrude because E is the letter after D, and this is the first 3D operation you'll be doing. It's little tips and tricks like this that real pros use to become productive in complex software products like this. Now that your shitbowl is 3D, just print it out. I recommend using whatever chinese knockoff Prusa i3 clone is for sale on Amazon because I personally get a cut when you buy it, and if it burns your house down it's not technically my fault. OK guys has it been 45 minutes yet? It has? Great. See you next week where I'll shove my entire $6000 microphone down my throat so you can hear what the inside of my mouth sounds like while I demonstrate basic features of CAD software! Like, subscribe, click the bell, click the bell again, then click it one more time so that your phone will make an incredibly loud noise when I next send out a YouTube poll!

Anyone else here from the Knockoff Prusa channel?

I use junk drawers, which scale to available drawers, after which you buy more storage or a larger house.

Personally, I farm to work out to the cloud.

I simply purchase whatever I need, have it delivered to an Amazon locker nearby, and then when I’m done with it I throw it out and order a new one.

The most frequently used ones are always at the locker and the least frequently used one is automatically returned for a refund. The cache miss is approximately two days.

It’s expensive, but you can’t beat the fact that it scales to a practically unlimited degree.

I call it “bowl-less” caching.

I’ve heard about the bowl-less design pattern a few weeks ago, excited to hear that it pans out in real world scenarios!

"bowl-less" would never work in France. It translates in French to "pas de bol" which also means "bad luck".

Still better than bowel-less, a possible misspelling given the context.

Ah I see you’ve read our no-return policy

Man, it really seems like bowl-less is everywhere these days. This kind of thing is why I rage quit programming and went to live in a Vipassana retreat.

I heard this is extremely expensive for anything non-trivial. People are always like, scale, scale, scale. But 99% of people are not Walmart. KISS, YAGNI, premature optimisation something something.

Ah yes, the old horizontal scaling technique.

Little known fact, the PDP11 had a machine instruction that implemented shitbowls in the cpu. It’s interesting that these days you need ruby, a vm, two layers of package managers and oauth just for a shotbowl. Also, someone should rewrite this in rust.

First time caller, long time listener. With a question! First, upboats. But what I really wanted to know was: does it work under water?

We built this years ago in Clay.

Clay is unsafe. You should rebuild it again using food grade Resin.

Surely Rust is far better than Clay, Resin, and/or constricting snake platforms

This is clearly a parody. If you don't understand the joke, then the joke's on you.

> If you don't understand the joke, then the joke's on you.

Completely agree

Parent is joking with the meme of “but I could build this produc myself with open source libraries!”

Parent is joking with the meme of “ If you don't understand the joke, then the joke's on you.”

;)

I'm not sure who is kidding... you or the parent comment.

That's part of the circular nature of the parody. Maybe I'm an investor and this will be the next "Yo" app.
