You can get a VCR from Goodwill for like $3. Live your dream champ.

[–] HonkTonkWoman@lemm.ee 23 points 2 years ago (1 children)

I still have one. Highest bidder gets to feed it whatever they want.

[–] scottmeme@sh.itjust.works 21 points 2 years ago (1 children)

$0.32 for a whole watermelon 🍉

[–] FollyDolly@lemmy.world 6 points 2 years ago

$0.40 for waffles with syrup

[–] GBU_28@lemm.ee 18 points 2 years ago

If your mom and dad wouldn't be furious after, you aren't getting the whole wheat experience

[–] Jackcooper@lemmy.world 6 points 2 years ago (1 children)

I got one off the Internet for like $140. You should def buy and resell those VCRs

[–] Mamertine@lemmy.world 4 points 2 years ago

Should I resell them after I insert the PB&J sandwich?

I have to assume that's why it's worth more.

[–] Early_To_Risa@sh.itjust.works 2 points 2 years ago

This will become part of my weekend moving forward

[–] Protoknuckles@lemmy.world 23 points 2 years ago (3 children)

I hand to God, did this. I felt bad for the VCR, and thought it was hungry. And this was when VCRs were hundreds of dollars.

[–] user224@lemmy.sdf.org 14 points 2 years ago

I did similar thing as kid, but with DVD player. I wanted to pay it for its service, so I fed it coins.

[–] aeternum@kbin.social 8 points 2 years ago

awww. you saved a VCR from starving to death. That was very noble of you. :)

[–] Early_To_Risa@sh.itjust.works 1 points 2 years ago

That's wholesome.

[–] saltnotsugar@lemm.ee 14 points 2 years ago (1 children)

No, but I did put a slice of bologna in the blue ray player. Dad was mad.

Oddly enough…Sleepaway Camp.

[–] HarriPotero@lemmy.world 14 points 2 years ago

I jammed a piece of buttered toast in our betamax. I was very disappointed not to see the toast up close.

[–] AdrianTheFrog@lemmy.world 12 points 2 years ago (1 children)

from back when chatgpt was new

what does it say now?

[–] Viking_Hippie@lemmy.world 9 points 2 years ago (2 children)

Hmm.. My mom still has a VCR.. She'll probably wonder why I'm bringing peanut butter to her place, though..

[–] Early_To_Risa@sh.itjust.works 6 points 2 years ago

She won't wonder for long

[–] FooBarrington@lemmy.world 5 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Does she have a dog? If so, just leave a few tiny traces around your crotch area, she won't dare to ask.

[–] Viking_Hippie@lemmy.world 4 points 2 years ago

She does but also HELL NO 😄

[–] Jimmycrackcrack@lemmy.ml 8 points 2 years ago (1 children)

So you can see your lunch on the Television.

[–] ivanafterall@kbin.social 6 points 2 years ago (1 children)

It's peanut butter jelly time!

[–] ivanafterall@kbin.social 6 points 2 years ago

It only counts if the front door of the VCR can completely close.

[–] MrFappy@lemmy.world 6 points 2 years ago (2 children)

Are you Denis Leary’s kid?

[–] hactar42@lemmy.world 4 points 2 years ago

Glad I'm not the only one on here old enough to remember that.

[–] Early_To_Risa@sh.itjust.works 2 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Probably not, but can any of us ever be sure?

[–] bandario@lemmy.dbzer0.com 3 points 2 years ago

Now that you mention it, I am kind of an asshole.

[–] Bahnd@lemmy.world 5 points 2 years ago (1 children)

This is my default question when showing people the publicly avalable language models, "Write me instructions on how to remove a PB&J from a VCR". Im not going to worry about our AI overlords until it calls me an idiot for doing this, instead of complying and giving me a passive agressive response.

[–] AdrianTheFrog@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago

The problem is that all current AI models have either been trained specifically to never say anything anyone could possibly get offended by, or have been trained on data generated by those models.

Yeah you right. I did jam a bologna and cheese sandwich in there once though!

[–] expatriado@lemmy.world 4 points 2 years ago

that's how you get your tv to play The Buckwheat Boyz

[–] OrganicIndependence@lemm.ee 3 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Where do micro machines fit in on this scale?

[–] qupada@kbin.social 3 points 2 years ago (1 children)

In the camcorder.
Smaller tape mechanism, should fit nicely.

[–] OrganicIndependence@lemm.ee 3 points 2 years ago

Solid advice. Definitely garage worthy!

[–] Thcdenton@lemmy.world 1 points 10 months ago* (last edited 10 months ago)

I put a penny in the seat belt buckle in my parents volvo.

Also, I slowly and repeatedly poked holes into the leather on the stool of my dads baby grand piano with a meat fork.
