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

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

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

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

$0.32 for a whole watermelon 🍉

[–] FollyDolly@lemmy.world 6 points 1 year ago

$0.40 for waffles with syrup

[–] Jackcooper@lemmy.world 6 points 1 year 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 1 year 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 1 year ago

This will become part of my weekend moving forward

[–] Protoknuckles@lemmy.world 23 points 1 year 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 1 year 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 1 year ago

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

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

That's wholesome.

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

from back when chatgpt was new

what does it say now?

[–] Viking_Hippie@lemmy.world 9 points 1 year 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 1 year ago

She won't wonder for long

[–] FooBarrington@lemmy.world 5 points 1 year 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 1 year ago

She does but also HELL NO 😄

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

So you can see your lunch on the Television.

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

It's peanut butter jelly time!

[–] MrFappy@lemmy.world 6 points 1 year ago (2 children)

Are you Denis Leary’s kid?

[–] hactar42@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago

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

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

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

[–] bandario@lemmy.dbzer0.com 3 points 1 year ago

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

[–] ivanafterall@kbin.social 6 points 1 year ago

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

[–] Bahnd@lemmy.world 5 points 1 year 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 1 year 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 1 year ago

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

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

Where do micro machines fit in on this scale?

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

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

[–] OrganicIndependence@lemm.ee 3 points 1 year ago

Solid advice. Definitely garage worthy!

[–] MonkderZweite@feddit.ch 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)
[–] Early_To_Risa@sh.itjust.works 2 points 1 year ago

You're missing out

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.
