Filled my chair with coins

As the title says, I filled the cylinder of my chair with coins.

After being used for six years, the pressure of my chair failed completely and could no longer rise. I found online that the gas cylinder can be changed, but when I tried to remove it, it wouldn't budge even when hammering it sideways. Still unwilling to just buy a new chair, I decided to fill it with something to keep the piston extended and looked around. After passing glass marbles, I found my box of pennies I collected for years.

It took four tries, two snapped tooth floss, and around 2-3 hundred coins but I managed to get it filled to almost max height.

I saved money but I also used money

I found an automatic litter box in the trash and put an xbox logo on it. We got the catBox 360 before GTA 6.

full-body pose detection with a raspberry pi, if you hold the wrong pose or react too slow a mechanical arm just decks you. it works. i don't know why i did this. the hands are foam so it's "fine"

DIY or a makeshift fix? Either way, that support is questionable.

There was absolutely no reason to build something that's this ridiculous. But I did and it's fun. 196cc diesel engine. The rest of it was built from scratch in about 12 hours of time. Weighing in at around 200 lb. I think it's about 6 ft long. Definitely the biggest scooter I've ever built.

Went to resturant, and there's eggshells in the resin poured tables for some reason..?

He made this ‘cause and effect’ thing where I roll down the screw and it hits the bottom screw and makes a “ding” sound which then wakes him up in the morning, change out of his night time pull up, and put on his underwear…. Which is hanging on the wall. That was wild to type out lmao. I swear we are normal people.
