I keep a light up plastic sword beside my bed for this very reason. The same fun for a tenth of the cost and it hangs nicely on my towel rack while I pee.

[–] BleatingZombie@lemmy.world 9 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Does it make swishing sounds, too? I'd buy it

[–] Nudding@lemmy.world 5 points 10 months ago (1 children)

I like to go full horror movie with a single match.

they keep me warm at night

[–] TheCheddarCheese@lemmy.world 26 points 10 months ago

okay that sounds kinda dope tbh

[–] The_Picard_Maneuver@startrek.website 16 points 10 months ago (2 children)

I would actually use this.

They're blue. Exactly the wrong spectrum to get you to sleep.

"I got these kickass orbs, but now I'm wired as balls at 3AM."

🤷🏻‍♂️

Dude in /r/LV426 was making blown glass Alien eggs, couldn't resist. I can leave the red light on all night, but still see and not get wired up. Also, long wavelengths make skin look smoother and nicer. "Does your wife like 'photographs'? Know what I mean?" Nudge, nudge, wink, wink.

(I'm channeling Python, but sex in red light is truly a thing.)

EDIT: You can set them to red! Now I'm diggin' them.

[–] Piecemakers3Dprints@lemmy.world 3 points 10 months ago

All due respect, but 3D printed versions world be far more cost effective and safer, but... 🤷🏼‍♂️

[–] Stamets@startrek.website 5 points 10 months ago (2 children)

You and me both. I'm just afraid to look it up and see the cost.

[–] The_Picard_Maneuver@startrek.website 16 points 10 months ago (3 children)

I just did. It's $70, which seems excessive for what it is. Oh well.

[–] Kit@lemmy.blahaj.zone 8 points 10 months ago

Look up "moon lamp" on your retailer of choice. For like $15 you can get a single rechargeable sphere like this. And you can set it to whatever color you want.

[–] Stamets@startrek.website 6 points 10 months ago (1 children)

See, it's times like this when I really wish that the whole "/u/Stamets and Startrek.website are paid Paramount shills" thing was true.

I would like money.

[–] misterdoctor@lemmy.world 2 points 10 months ago (1 children)

I knew I recognized your username from something but I couldn’t figure it out, thank you

[–] Stamets@startrek.website 2 points 10 months ago

Wait, you mean you recognized the username as being from a Trek show or because I post constantly to the trek communities?

[–] cm0002@lemmy.world 2 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Probably the circuitry required for the "wireless" charging so you can just drop it in that little holder instead of having to unplug it

Assuming ofc you can take the image at face value

[–] LufyCZ@lemmy.world 2 points 10 months ago

Wireless charging is just a tiny bit of copper and a cheap (probably cents) controller

[–] Stuka@lemmy.world 6 points 10 months ago (1 children)

It seems to suck if the reviews are any indication

[–] Stamets@startrek.website 2 points 10 months ago

That does make it a little better

A NEW HAND TOUCHES THE BEACON

[–] draconik@kbin.social 4 points 10 months ago* (last edited 10 months ago)

Damn it! quickload

"Eris...Get your rock, off my Toilet."

[–] Xariphon@kbin.social 11 points 10 months ago* (last edited 10 months ago) (3 children)

"Don't joke! You ever been hit with a rock? Ahh... I miss Eris."

:3

(On a tangentially-related note, it still kinda blows my mind that Eris Morn the creepy space witch... is actually a Hunter and not a Warlock.)

[–] PaupersSerenade@sh.itjust.works 7 points 10 months ago

Honestly after her time alone in the Hellmouth she could have been a Titan and still come out a hunter. She's basically a hive god now; glow up goals.

[–] Caesium@lemmy.world 4 points 10 months ago

it's always a fun thing to bring up to New Lights. Homies are like 'no way' every time and I love it

[–] nl_the_shadow@lemmy.world 4 points 10 months ago

I know she's a hunter, but lets be honest, she's done more magic in this last season than Ikora has in the last couple of years. I say let's make her an honorary warlock.

[–] Aggravationstation@lemmy.world 8 points 10 months ago (3 children)

Where do you put it in the bathroom?

[–] dingus@lemmy.world 9 points 10 months ago (2 children)

On the counter and then it rolls off the edge and falls to the floor and shatters

[–] gamermanh@lemmy.dbzer0.com 5 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Judging by the look of it in the pic I'd guess it's those silicon balls that LEDs can be put into, so it'd be squishy and not shatter

Actually a pretty smart use of led tech

[–] HubertManne@kbin.social 2 points 10 months ago

seems like it would make more sense for a lamp with wireless charging pad.

[–] InEnduringGrowStrong@sh.itjust.works 4 points 10 months ago (1 children)
[–] Cipher22@lemmy.world 2 points 10 months ago* (last edited 10 months ago) (1 children)

It can't roll off the counter and provides improved illumination for guys to aim. For ladies, they can sit with confidence that the seat is down and there are no spiders. Then, it is gently rinsed by the flush afterwards.

After a cursory search, it turns out toilet illumination is already a thing.

[–] uphillbothways@kbin.social 1 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Maybe it could set on the towel rack. Idk. That'd be my first concern also. Even after cleaning my own bathroom I assume aerosolized germs are everywhere and carry nothing in there that doesn't belong there.

[–] Semi-Hemi-Demigod@kbin.social 3 points 10 months ago

Especially with kids, who aren't the most conscientious hand washers

[–] rockSlayer@lemmy.world 7 points 10 months ago

White/Blue light is a fucking terrible choice for something like this. Blue light makes you more alert and reduces quality of sleep, so you'll be more tired than before you had this.

[–] rockerface@lemm.ee 1 points 10 months ago

Do you need to put these outside in a storm to recharge them?
