The problem with being a weird geek like me is that I've seen the coolest thing I've seen in years and it's a DIY pie launcher

It's by Fruitkitty. This image is SFW but the forum link is very not. But look at this beautiful thing. All the engineering and experimentation that had to go into this IoT enabled pie-launcher. I'm in love.https://umd.net/forums/im-fruitkitty-and-i-have-the-best-damn-p

like, yeah it's a fetish thing. this is a sex toy, even if you might not necessarily see that immediately. But I don't care? This is beautiful. I love the idea of making something this intricate and specific "just" for a kink. I can't help but admire this object and how much devotion went into it.

@foone honestly it’s so cool to see that sort of passionate engineering go into a sex toy… and that there are seemingly opportunities for folks who are into that to experience it? yeah, it’s really damn admirable

@foone Cathedral comes from Cathedra, which is a Bishop's chair or throne. So, if a Bishop sits down, is the building they're in a cathedral? I rank this right up there with becoming an anti-pope simply by declaring one's self to be pope.

@foone oh yeah! this is a way that they can add happiness to their lives that isn't easily possible for others~ :blobcatoverlycute:things like this are made with a care and devotion that is beautiful not only on a technical level, but a very human one too!maybe a hot take, but dismissing the specific joys of others as "i didn't need to know that", or "ew, weird" because it adds joy to someone's life for the "wrong reasons" is an old and busted way to interact with those things

@foone Is there a loading mechanism? This seems like it should be the sort of gizmo where you push the button and it whoomps out a pie every three seconds for a solid minute. Well, kind of a gooshy minute, anyway.Still, a marvelous object.

@mjfgates No idea! I've not been able to see it in action. It might need to be manually reset, in which case the person resetting it might stick the pie in

I found several videos of people getting hit with pies, but it seems nobody caters to my catapult fetish.

@ben @onfy I do recall reading a definition of a fetish which was basically "something (other than the obvious) which you have to do/involve to get sexual satisfaction"Which is yeah, basically just defining it as a problem that gets in the way of sex.

@foone Christ. made the mistake of clicking the link. Don't get me wrong, I'm a man of the world but I have a real aversion to anything involving what I shall colloquially call "waste". cool contraption though, they clearly had a lot of rubber just laying around doing nothing.

@foone @emily haha I'm in this picture :Pit's an impressive device. To answer a few questions I saw in the thread, it's a manual reload to pull back the catapult and is calibrated specifically for one pie type and tin set (in order to not cause actual injury). The creator is pretty friendly so just ping them with questions :)

@SkylerRingtail @Fruitkitty yeah I'd sign up for that job right away.Maybe we need to set it up as a contracting thing. "Hey, do you build kinky machines? are you afraid they're gonna hurt somebody? Hire KinkQACo to do a safety assessment!"I bet @qdot would have some input

@foone @Fruitkitty @qdot As former software QA myself, I would also sign up right away.I can see the application now... "As a former QA person and current kinky asexual, the one thing that excites me more than anything else is working out the kinks in your kink devices!"Or the company advertisement..."Kinky AF and ready to help you debug your teledildonic devices. BugChasers LLC - we catch 'em all, so you don't have to."...The name might need some workshopping.
