    My cis ass stumbling in from /c/all :

    1. Oh cool, someone’s doing science stuff at home.
    2. Why is there a magnifying glass on the table?
    3. Electrolysis is doing stuff in water with electricity, I don’t see water here. Why do they need a computer?
    4. *looks at community*
    5. Loading…
    6. This is for removing hair.
    7. Why does it look like scientific apparatus?

      the magnifying mirror is to see my face better. the water is in the hair follicle. the computer is there because i have limited space haha. it looks like that because functional equipment always gets put in a beige box for some reason lol.

        thanks for the answers, I just wanted to make myself look foolish as an outsider for the benefit of spreading smiles in your community. The computer need and why no water gets answered by “this is for removing hair” :D

        I guess this is for pro use instead of home use , so they didn’t bother putting fancy stuff on there to seem appealing, and functional equipment gets put in beige boxes to minimise costs and remove specificity.

        If the same electrical company is making electrolysers for water treatments at various power levels, they can just shove different components in the same box and send it off for electrolysing water to “clean shit” , remove hair and whatever else it gets used for, since the machine just puts out an electrical current between two probes.

        EDIT : thus no need to have boxes with different aesthics, and buying 10x or 100x the same box is cheaper than buying 10 or 100 different types of box

      It is pretty scientific. It involves inserting a tiny probe into the pore where a hair grows, and then administering a small shock that kills the hair follicle for permanent removal. It’s basically an alternative to laser hair removal, except unlike laser, it works for people with fair hair too.
