If you guys hate this I'll delete it but I figure fedi could use more engagement, especially to build up really useful comms like this one. One of my "hobbies" is clicking on weird ads for unidentifiable crap products just to see what the fuck is that supposed to be??? and I wanted to see if other people would also find this fun and maybe get a really useful comm more traffic. Found this one on AliExpress.

Edit: ok I'm gonna have to find something really weird.

They are jump rope handles without the rope, so you can still feel like you are jump roping. I feel like there is a name for it but don't recall.

I'm an adult. Let's talk about your boundaries before we start.

I enjoy this premise of questions just for funsies. I feel like the option to reverse image search potentially poses a challenge though

These are a special set of news reporter microphones which are only used to interview urologists.

My first guess is those things Milan used to climb the big pole.
