"That was exactly the laugh I needed this morning!! I don't even care if they're just photoshopped for the website. A couple of family members might be getting the covid one for Christmas"

"I feel like someone read the AI article the from last week and just typed " a pair of crocs with 7-eleven branding' into it... lol"

"Whoa, 12,799, thats incredible!!The only reason I noticed was because I went out and brought one after seeing that first article. I still have it and its still one of my favorite pencils :)"

"SNAP- Core77, April 13, 2011:The Self-Sharpening Pencil, Just 20 Years Too Late - Core77"

"Whoa baby!! What if you got really high and mashed one of those "Cars of the future" from the 1950's with a late 90's stereo system...."

"I don't know how long each of those tasks would usually take, but those %'s equate to cutting the time to 1/3 the original. Factor in an hourly rate and reducing materials by 90% and I imagine that a professional builder would see a positive ROI. Most tradies I know can calculate that sort of time/$ stuff in their heads. They'll work out pretty quickly if its viable or not."

"SNAP - my first thought when I saw it, lol"

"I think to say its a 'copy' of an existing design is unfair as that implies intent. The problem will be universal for anyone working in that position for any period of time, and if form-follows-function, then the solution is going to be a variation on a theme.Its more an example of 'simultaneous invention'.And who outside the US(or Japan?) are going to be familiar with Baseball gear??"

"no, no and no. Selling an original copy of a propaganda Poster as historical item, yes. Even a repro of the poster I'd cope with. A T-shirt version is just flogging war porn merch. As to the original post - the shirt graphics are devoid of any contouring and look badly photo-shopped? who would wear a fake-dirty top anyway?"

"We've done several trials of these for customers over the last 10 years and they universally lead to a drop in sales. People standing watching eventually lose the will to shop, and bystanders don't want to interrupt the viewing of others by opening the door to get product. Not to mention Content Creation Costs (digital content costs more than static signage they're used to paying for and the 30s TV ad gets old after the 100th rotation).Inventory tracking though? if they've cracked that, that's a winner."

"No.To have "designed" was to have a purpose in mind and created an object to fulfil it.He did an Art."

"To be fair, it does say "Minimal Amount of Thin Plywood" and the 3 legged Ikea stool, KYRRE, is quite thick by comparison.This is closer to an Ikea BENGTHÅKAN formed plywood stool. I own a couple of these and have noticed they're susceptible to warping in the sun and feel quite 'flexy'. This design would be more rigid, but I don't imagine the extra work involved in all the cutting & gluing would be cost effective compared to forming (the longer bench seat version may be the exception)."
