The lower picture is a laser pointer in a case with filter tips, these tips will break up the beam into shapes/symbols to be projected on the wall.

[–] gigachad@piefed.social 30 points 1 month ago (3 children)

I have not thought of laser pointers for at least 15 years. I totally forgot how damn cool they were.

Great yourself. Buy one Right now

[–] captainlezbian@lemmy.world 2 points 1 month ago

I have to use them professionally. That's why I got one in a different color from everyone else. Ok really it's that my old boss's boss had one a different color from everyone else and I didn't like the guy so I decided to be different too knowing that's exactly the kind of crap that gets under his skin. But also it's nice to have everyone know when you're the one laser pointing

I don't know how old you are, but these laser pointers, and the assorted different projection pattern caps, where the bee's knees when I was a kid.

I believe a Prince Albert is involved

I have to get something off my chest. In the 90s, I was the little shit stain that was using these at the movie theatre. I apologize to all the Gen Xers that I pissed off. ✊🙏😢

[–] ivanafterall@lemmy.world 24 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Just wanted to say fuck you.

[–] Psythik@lemmy.world 7 points 1 month ago

The last time a kid tried that in a theater, the audience booed so hard that we didn't see it for the rest of the film. We probably scared the shit out of him, haha.

My friend, pissing off Gen Xers is a time honored pastime o7

[–] Agrivar@lemmy.world 17 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Da fuq? Pissing off boomers is the mission, leave us out of it!

[–] HeyThisIsntTheYMCA@lemmy.world 11 points 1 month ago (1 children)

I can have two missions. Have you seen my pile?

[–] Agrivar@lemmy.world 3 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Well sure, but that's a thing we have in common, much like hating on boomers. What did Gen-X do to offend?

[–] HeyThisIsntTheYMCA@lemmy.world 3 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Look, while you were looking at my pile look what Gen-X did to it

[–] Agrivar@lemmy.world 4 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago) (1 children)

...I hate to admit it, but I'm lost. Who's who in this meme? Also, if you're gonna be hostile, Simpsons is OURS not yours, find your own memes.

Dude step back a second. Remember this scene? He's about to get attacked by bees. It's his sugar pile. Season like... 3 or 4. He just pulls a random british dude out who says he "nicked it for his tea and he'd do it again".

Damn OP, leave some pussy for the rest of us.

[–] Object@sh.itjust.works 16 points 1 month ago (1 children)

I've seen so many of these as a child only to be disappointed that all of the laser pointers are out of battery and I never could find a shop that sells them.

[–] can@sh.itjust.works 3 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Dollar stores? And weren't they standard batteries?

[–] Object@sh.itjust.works 2 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Sort of, they required those tiny ones, and there were a number of standards IIRC. Most importantly, we've thrown those laser pointers away now. Now I got batteries but not lasers.

[–] Psythik@lemmy.world 5 points 1 month ago

I found a laser pointer at PetCo this weekend that charges via USB. Just remove the cap on the end, and plug it in like a flash drive. No cable necessary. Never seen one that didn't require the three little batteries, so I snatched it up so quickly.

[–] mogoh@lemmy.ml 6 points 1 month ago (1 children)

I don't know what I am looking at. Please help. 😅

[–] x00z@lemmy.world 17 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago) (1 children)

A laser pointer with all sorts of tops that display different images or patterns.
