"As a lefty, I'm still dreaming of the day they make an MX master mouse for us."

"A lot of these start to look like the tool belts used by construction workers. In that context, would a hammer, pencil, speed square, knife, bag of screws/nails, etc be considered everyday carry?"

"Why do humanoid robots all still walk around like they have to take a dump and they're holding it back? There's something subtle about the lack of hip rotation that seems common with the boston dynamics bipedal robot, and even back to Asimo."

"I remember seeing this same object sold as a way to prevent pots from boiling over when heating milk or anything that could bubble up."

"The "screw starters" look pretty similar to hand forged drill bits, though missing a sharpened end. Perhaps they're just worn or simply made drill bits for wood?The similar tool on the last (German) design is certainly a small auger bit."

"How likely is it that the top surface will be completely flush like that in reality, after a season of moisture changes?"

"Yeah, clearly that artist is a time traveller, given the welded tube steel legs and the tomatoe :D"

"Exactly! I think a handle at its' centre of gravity is actually a good idea though, to keep it from falling or to hold it back when it tries to do something it shouldn't."

"I use this one from MEC, and I've found it to be useful, though I think everyones' comments above are somewhat accurate. I don't have a master link on all of my bikes, and I have access to a bike stand in a garage so I can spill some degreaser on the floor and not worry about it. I'm also not going for sparkling chain and perfect performance, but for easy cleaning on a workhorse commuter bike. I am curious about waxing my chains in future though, but it's such a black art it seems, everyone who does talks about it like they have a special sauce and incantations they chant while cooking their chains like alchemists!! :D https://www.mec.ca/en/product/6024-355/chain-cleaner?gclid=CjwKCAjws9ipBhB1EiwAccEi1DLoTkSZGvpZbYpGUZOxN0TzSN9Dz5aGEUPGpshtoLmKWM0Yj8CWORoCapAQAvD_BwE&colour=Clear"

"I would love to hear more about how might "automatically detects distress situations at sea". I'm sure it's difficult for human lifeguards to tell sometimes if someone is in danger or just a clumsy swimmer."

"These tools are always good to have around, they're just the powered verion of the beat up old bastard file in every toolchest :)"

"Those inventors surely knew their devices were frivolous though, right!? Back when everyone was used to working with their hands, any small knife got the job done just as quickly :)"
