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

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

$0.32 for a whole watermelon 🍉

[–] [email protected] 6 points 2 years ago

$0.40 for waffles with syrup

[–] [email protected] 18 points 2 years ago

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

[–] [email protected] 6 points 2 years ago (1 children)

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

[–] [email protected] 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.

This will become part of my weekend moving forward

[–] [email protected] 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.

[–] [email protected] 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.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 2 years ago

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

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 years ago

That's wholesome.

[–] [email protected] 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.

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

[–] [email protected] 12 points 2 years ago (1 children)

from back when chatgpt was new

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 years ago

what does it say now?

[–] [email protected] 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..

[–] [email protected] 6 points 2 years ago

She won't wonder for long

[–] [email protected] 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.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 2 years ago

She does but also HELL NO 😄

[–] [email protected] 8 points 2 years ago (1 children)

So you can see your lunch on the Television.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 2 years ago (1 children)

It's peanut butter jelly time!

Are you Denis Leary’s kid?

[–] [email protected] 4 points 2 years ago

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

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 years ago (1 children)

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

[–] bandario 3 points 2 years ago

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

[–] [email protected] 6 points 2 years ago

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

[–] [email protected] 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.

[–] [email protected] 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.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 2 years ago

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

[–] [email protected] 4 points 2 years ago

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

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Where do micro machines fit in on this scale?

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 years ago (1 children)

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

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 years ago

Solid advice. Definitely garage worthy!

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.
