The future. . . or, Laziness is the Mother of Invention

Someone posted a thread about a computer designed like a bunch of pens.
Well I\'ve just found a much more impressive work of pure genius in The Beer Launching Fridge!

Check it out here:

Thats great, until your 3 or 4th, when your eye hand coordination has started to slide.....

Of course, with that nasty beer in there, they could just open the window, and turn the thing on....lol

The way he catches it is just so calm and collected! \"And that\'s, the beer launching fridge\" lol

First thing I thought!

I mostly drink bottled beer and I wouldn\'t trust them to be fired through the air like that...

Not to mention the fact that they probably can\'t be opened right away, whether it\'s bottles or cans. Beer will go everywhere.

to be fair, it is a PROTOTYPE so you wouldn\'t want to risk the good stuff in the early testing stages, but yeah, so far we have not seen the technology put to good use.

But, on a serious note....the pursuit of Laziness has made for some seriously good inventions!!

Microwave Oven (i don\'t want to stand here all day)
Remote Control TV (this show sucks, but i\'m comfortable)
Indoor Plumbing (man, i really gotta go, but its freaking cold outside)
Nuclear Weapons (Is there a way we can kill bunches faster?, my trigger finger is getting tired)

Besides, I don\'t need the fridge to chuck the beers at me... I\'ve got a girlfriend who can get them for me! lol

But seriously... if I ever get that lazy I will shoot myself.

EDIT: Change that to \"slit my throat\", since I don\'t own a gun...

Catching a beer in the hand is cool. After a few beers catching one in the face is not cool.

Needs a bigger magazine.

 

[vincegamer]

well, it is only a minifridge.
I\'m sure it would be easy enough to scale up for a full-size fridge.

I guess if you\'re going to be throwing beer Miller\'s a good choice.

If you get that lazy, wouldn\'t lifting the knife be too much of a chore?lol

The question I ask myself, how many beers will he need not to get to compensate for the amount of energy he has put in this thing...
