The Monkey's Bum Peanut Dispenser is designed for those
who are addicted to peanuts, to the point of eating
handfulls of them at a time, especially when they are
offered for free at some public bars.
It's quite a simple device that takes the form of a small
squatting rubberised monkey, who's
head unscrews to allow
the hollow body to be filled like a hopper with peanuts.
These descend down an internal intestinal funnel that
forces them to emerge one at a time when the belly of the
monkey is squeezed. As the funnel has a downwardly
projecting texture, it acts like a non-return valve for the
peanuts.
The greedy peanut hog must now place one hand under the
monkey's bum as they use the other hand to squeeze out
one peanut at a time.

You could make a civet-shaped dispenser for ludicrously overpriced coffee that works on the same principle. |
|
| |
Are the peanuts in their shells, or salted/roasted ? |
|
| |
If in their shells, they could be treated with a harmless brown food dye, and a laquer to make them glisten slightly, for added realism. |
|
| |
Ah yes. I'm well aware of the imitators but no Bar
Monkey's Bum seen until now. |

Narrative causality. Some ideas in the past end up going down the wrong leg of the Trousers of Time, ending up in an adjacent tachyonic pseudoreality. Then when a congruency is encountered (or forced), stuff leaks through. |
|
| |
On the other hand, "Durkheim!" makes an excellent curse-word,
better than "Belgium!" in my opinion. |
|
| |
Tell me one thing which would not be improved by being dispensed out of a prosthetic arse. |
|
| |
A prosthetic haemorrhoid. |

//how are things existing for decades or centuries
“imitators” of a recently posted idea?// It
happens. There's a documentary series on Netflix
called 'Dark' about this sort of creative causality. |
|
| |
Yes, but it's blatantly plagiaristic ... |
|
| |
Even the episode dedicated to recursion is a repeat. |
|
| |
What's wrong with paradoxes anyway? Its all an illusion, memories are all in the present, created on a whim. Causality making things happen on a macro level is arbitrary if not observed, and the observer can only perceive what is happening in the present. Everything else is a kind of quantum soup. |
|
| |
[xenzag], I been watching Dark. Excellent twists and
turns. |
|
| |
As for this idea I love, love, love it. I'm one of those
people who grabs a handful of peanuts and about an
hour later realizes I've eaten an entire bowl without
even registering it in my calorie-conscious mind.
Until I step on the scale and have a major heart
attack from all the fat and salt the next morning. |

So sure, poop away my darling primate...poop away,
but only one log at a time por favor. |

v2.0 might dispense peanut butter via similar mechanism. |
|
| |
Might do a unicorn version to dispense that rainbow striped
toothpaste. Actually you could just print the appropriate art
on the toothpaste tube. |

// v2.0 might dispense peanut butter // |
|
| |
Nutella covered peanuts. The best of both worlds. |
|
| |
Such a dispenser would fit in perfectly with the decor of the Korova Milk Bar. Nothing like a few handfuls of peanuts and a glass or two of Milk Plus to sharpen you up and make you ready for a bit of the old ultra-violence ... |
|
| |
Clockwork, just like clockwork, 8th. So good to have
you with us again. |
|
| |
Just watched Amok Time and thought of you, [8th]. |
|
| |
Oh wait. Wrong species, wrong quadrant, wrong strain of
violence. Sigh. |
|
| |
Ah, but there is no // wrong strain of violence // ... |
