it's extremely convenient!
traditional hand pumps are difficult to use! and clumsy!
air hawk is far more efficient!
flat balls are no longer a problem!
that job just became much easier!

a jrpg writer must have scripted this


the vaguely Australian, lifestyles of the rich and famous-accented sales guy at the end really brings it home. that's how you know it's classy.

Can’t find my thread so I’m bumping easy’s thread

Drives me crazy when a brand has a great look and opts for whatever you call this modern atrocity of a look

They can just help on the production line they don’t need to sit around and think up the ugliest way to make the product look

Ughhh

the stone branding is unironically one of my favorite designs

it's giving bush "glycerine"

Kind of related, my elementary school had a Cold War era air raid siren on its roof. It is tested at noon every day and used to summon firefighters in a small ass town of 6,000. It was not that weird to me growing up but any time I am home I am like why the fuck are they still doing this in an age of diminishing fires and mobile phones? There has to be some subliminal effect on kids who hear that shit all the time. I asked my parents and of course it has become a culture war touchpoint in the town with newer residents being soft vs the deal with it thats the way its always been crowd
At least we have
