    The first time I saw this thing it was marketed as something to hold a pair of eye glasses on the front of a shirt if you don’t have a pocket. One half goes on the inside of your shirt and the other goes on the outside. They’re held together, in place, with really strong magnets.

          I appreciate the heads up, but it switched to Amazon Canada when I clicked the link and seemingly just put in random info lol that is not even remotely close to my name nor does it resemble in any way where I live

            As someone from near by to Balzac, that is one hell of an abscure place to put you. I think theres exactly 10 people that live there and there’s some giant malls. That’s about it.

            I just looked on wiki and it says population 1 person.

              Yeah I looked it up and assumed it must be a big deal since they have that massive mall and a racetrack lol I didn’t think to check the actual population

                My only thought is there’s an Amazon fulfillment centre there for Calgary and area, but like, Calgary is still one hell of a random Canadian place to put you.

                  I certainly don’t mind, that’s where my favorite pro wrestler is from!

    My first thought was a magnetic handle you could attach to a bag or something to make it easier to carry.

      I have no idea how this would function as a doorknob but I love that you saw that.

      My current out-of-bounds item list:

      • Fidget and other sensory toys because I feel like moving in a certain way purely for the sake of itself isn’t in the spirit of these challenges.
      • objects that are mostly or entirely ornamental / decorative in nature like jewelry and sculptures. I’ll still use something that is an ornamental version of something that has a specific non-ornamental purpose (ex: a lot of traditional fibercraft tools or recreational drug equipment for weed or caffeine). Hair ornaments and pins are fine as long as they have some specific niche use such as ornamental hair rollers or having an interesting closure for pinning your shawl in a specific way or something.
      • tools that are too broadly applicable such as specialty abrasive drill bits or specialty brushes where what makes them use specific is stuff like size shape and bristle stiffness which are still pretty broadly applicable (a little brush with a long handle has a looot of different uses, think about everything you can do with a used toothbrush).
      • Alternative “wellness” products that largely function as placebos by being in the general vicinity of a person such as crystals and “energy focusing copper coils” and the like. Weird looking traditional instruments like a special type of gong or something are acceptable.
      • Specialty massage products are fine provided they’re mostly used to massage an area other than the genitals. It’s also still ok if the specific massage philosophy claims to have other, pseudo-scientific benefits such as for chiropracty or acupuncture, as long as the tool itself is an actual massage tool.

        Do you purposely not give us the scale of things?

          yes. In one of the upcoming ones I also edited out the maker’s mark since the brand name references the relevant hobby.

            Ah cool. I thought that might be the case, but I saw a couple people asking about relative size in another post, (the animal eye booger remover lol), so I wondered.
