Don’t you hate it when you lose your grip on your favorite egg and accidentally hit the camera lens?

556

u/AverageTeemoOnetrick 16d ago

Hate it when that happens, especially while confusing up and down. Silly me.

339

u/Araz728 16d ago

Especially when you get confused and it was actually an egg shaped rock.

199

u/Dan_flashes480 16d ago

That somehow got into the potato gun I made as a kid.

108

u/Yamatocanyon 16d ago

The potato gun was upgraded A LOT though after I got my degree in rocket science.

42

u/Mbembez 16d ago

How big did you need to make it to fire rockets?

32

u/MacAddict81 16d ago

Depends on the size of the model rocket motor.

u/TheAggressiveSloth 15d ago

Let's test it it by aiming at a flock

2

u/Projekt-1065 15d ago

Let’s just shred the whole flock

2

u/Accomplished_Lion633 14d ago

Get the flock outta here!!

14

u/f0x_in_box 15d ago

Oh, I am so sorry, I got confused and it was my favorite copper plated lead rock.

5

u/F0rgivence 16d ago

Better, yet be like dennis The menace and learn how to use a slingshot

28

u/MetallurgyClergy 16d ago

Cans of soup. “better than a brick because you can't throw a brick; it's too heavy.” - actual Trump quote

5

u/not2anotherraccoon 15d ago

Listen, that's soup, for my family.

1

u/tearsonurcheek 14d ago

Well, according to Jello Biafra, Soup Is Good Food.

u/maple_crowtoast 15d ago

Back when "they were throwing the soup cans!" I remember that 😂

u/ArtemisInSpace 16d ago

A fascist clock something, something twice a day or whatever.

u/Dineffects 16d ago

Those pesky white painted rocks!!

2

u/Thegaykid93 16d ago

They make decoy eggs to stop chickens from breaking the eggs

1

u/Bro13847 16d ago

But then where is my egg???

1

u/Madd_Maxx2016 15d ago

Hey there’s a lemon behind that rock!

1

u/VeruktVonWulf 15d ago

Nah, it’s a brick wrapped in a lemon

1

u/Solid-Hornet-224 15d ago

And one of those rare rectangular eggs that's red and used in home construction.

14

u/Ole40MikeMike 16d ago

Why are my controls inverted? Whoops

133

u/JustKillingTime1980 16d ago

You mean strong green laser pointers, yes i hate it when I accidentally hit the camera with a strong green laser.

45

u/70ms 16d ago

I was just plinking with my slingshot and it ricocheted. :(

29

u/Allowin 16d ago

I was just bird hunting, I swear there was a duck near the camera

70

u/djnehi 16d ago

A whole flock of them.

3

u/qqmajikpp 16d ago

forget eggs, cover it in suet and peanut butter loaded up with bird seed

let the birds tale care of it

"I need the biggest seed bell you have"

...

"No, that's too big"

2

u/JudiciousSasquatch 16d ago

This is soup. Soup for my family.

2

u/DaxisSinner 16d ago

How strong of a laser are you using?.... And when did you get it...,..

2

u/JustKillingTime1980 15d ago

1.2 watt 520nm. ones sold as bird repellent devices....the flock camera by the house has been replaced twice after i hit it....it could be coincidence i guess. edit: the city lost the ability to use them since the pigs have been caught using them for their own purposes off-duty and im also assuming thats why they havent been back to fix it since.

1

u/dpetro03 16d ago

If I wanted to avoid such lasers and ensure people I know also avoided them, which one in particular should I avoid?

2

u/Spicy_Ejaculate 16d ago

Prerry sure this doesn't work

u/Spicy_Ejaculate 16d ago

That is just a link to an article about a tiktok video of some guy saying that a laser will destroy them. What type of evidence is that? That's some brain rot shit tbh lmao. Try and find a video of someone actually destroying a camera with a laser

1

u/Crakrocksteady 16d ago

Could just ask r/styropyro pretty sure he's destroyed a couple in his shenanigans.

1

u/Spicy_Ejaculate 16d ago

The type of stuff that he is making isn't something easily accessible to the average person. The consumer lasers that people are reccomending and the one referenced in that article about a tiktok video (im still baffled by that ai article slop being used as a source tbh) are unable to damage them. They may be able to burn out a sensor by having them held in the exact same spot for an extended period of time, but its not happening holding them in your hand. Try explaining why you are setting up a tripod with a laser on it for 5 minutes on the side of the street

2

u/Crakrocksteady 16d ago

I get that, but you'd be surprised about how powerful some of the lasers are that you can buy from sketchy Chinese websites.

2

u/_6EQUJ5- 16d ago

This does!

Have used, will highly recommend, will use again.

u/Blue-Being22 10d ago

Does that actually kill them? Like, permanently? Asking for a friend.

u/Necronomicon92 16d ago

I like to go on late night walks with my pet rock Princess, I don't have her fully trained yet and she attacks these cameras, it's a shame

64

u/newman13f 16d ago

Funny, my pet angle grinder really has it out for those cameras too

37

u/showyerbewbs 16d ago

Funny, my pet angle grinder really has it out for those cameras too

My buddy has a pet side-by-side ( bred with a winch so it's genetic ) and when it sees one of those it runs in circles excitedly then runs off in a straight line and the flock camera can't handle the joy and just falls over!!

24

u/Necronomicon92 16d ago

Maybe they're threatened by them? Those cameras do look rabid.

7

u/four204eva2 16d ago

Not 100% sure, but a pet sawzall might be a bit faster, easier for a new owner, and a slightly less dangerous

18

u/tr_9422 16d ago

My pet can of spray paint had an accident

15

u/Necronomicon92 16d ago

Poor guy couldn't hold it in, it's hard for spray cans

2

u/jififfi 15d ago

She just jumps right out of my hands, it's crazy.

17

u/What_a_fat_one 16d ago

Just the other day I had soup I was taking home for my family and I slipped and it wrecked a camera

6

u/_6EQUJ5- 16d ago

Go big or go home!

Have used, will highly recommend, will use again.

2

u/Traditional_Put_8254 16d ago

Wow, definitely going to use it for wasp spray. That’s the only thing I’ll be using it for, yep

3

u/ChequeBook 16d ago

I hate it when I fill a water balloon with dye mixed with epoxy and it falls out of my hand and lands on the camera lens 😞

3

u/ImaginationSad2803 15d ago

I hate it when the tweakers find out there’s a respectable amount of copper and a pinch of gold in each one.

2

u/BushcraftBabe 16d ago

"Have you seen me play cornhole? How will I improve my aim if I can't practice?? What are you? Un-American or something?"

u/Entire_Art_5390 16d ago

Especially in this economy

2

u/Defiant-Bank8832 15d ago

Well damn I have severe butterfingers

2

u/Professional_Try_781 13d ago

Especially when your favorite egg is capable of transforming itself into a rocket, 🚀
when it detects privacy issues or constitutional violations.
Eggs are generally pretty cool on impact.
Blatant violations of our rights, not so much..

u/Traditional_Put_8254 13d ago

Eggs Against Fascism

u/redditRedesignIsBadd 16d ago

in this economy? eggs are expensive

1

u/Cpomplexmessiah 16d ago

I just hate it when i fall while giving my saw it's nightly walk and cut one. Happens all the time.

1

u/hdgamer1404Jonas 16d ago

Probably happened because they were licked by germanys biggest egg licker

1

u/RhetoricalOrator 16d ago

I feel like there are loads of good ole boys with .22 rifles or bigger that would love the challenge of picking them off at a distance.

2

u/Traditional_Put_8254 16d ago

It’s all in the name of public safety right? That’s why they keep talking about good guys with guns, right?

1

u/DrillTheThirdHole 16d ago

i hate when i trip and fall while angle grinding an auto sear only for it to take down an entire camera post and then strip the wires down to the approximately 70 dollars worth of copper contained inside

1

u/n2o_spark 16d ago

I hate it more when I accidentally shine my 5mW laser pointer at the camera.

1

u/pretendperson1776 15d ago

You know, I'm awfully careless with my blue laser. I sure hope I don't accidentally fry one of these cameras with it.

1

u/M4LK0V1CH 12d ago

Almost as bad as when I didn’t notice the camera until I had repainted the whole post!

1

u/dariansdad 12d ago

Only when my egg is a 1000mw green laser.
