I have a toolbox, that was originally a WWII ammunition box.
None for sale on eBay 🥲
That is, until https://youtube.com/@outdoorsweekly comes along.
A high school friend put his Neo geo collection in one of those which was a proclamation of wealth I was unprepared for.
The river was the best option?
The coolest, definitely
Dude just reinvented buried treasure
Yeah, and this is going to be a great hidden treasure in a post-nuclear wasteland world. Imagine doing a quest to find this treasure, and once you find it, you get nice pre-war clothes and a physics book that will give you +1 attribute to your science skill for reading it.
imagine opening one and finding a stinger… but the coolant’s expired and there are no aircraft to down in the wasteland lol
Little disappointing given what the box looked like though
That definitely explains the random loot, tho
Yeah I’d much prefer a stinger missile
Really? the battery coolant module is long expired and there are no aircraft to down in the wasteland lol
What about Enclave Vertibirds?
With the right physics book, this could turn into a “teach a man how to fish” situation
What kind of big ass fish are you hunting
If you get a bigger one,you could sleep in it.
I mean, if it works, who am I to criticize?
I’d paint over it, just in case someone thinks it might have explosives in it and panics.
I had something similar from a flea market surplus shop when I was in HS and kept it in the bed of my Tacoma to hold tools. It was cool as hell with its desert camo paint and dings and stuff. Well, after 9/11 I became popular with the cops cause I’d get pulled over, and told to stand by the hood of my car with both hands on it, while they checked it.
After about the 5th time, I sold it and bought a bed box.
I have a wooden howitzer ammo crate that I used to keep in the back of my Jeep for tools until a similar traffic incident.
I still have it, it just stays in my garage now.
This to save 100$, he’s so real for that
Can reuse it every summer? Multiple years of savings.
Omg yeah I did not think about that I feel dumb now thanks
I appreciate the commitment to saving $100.
Summer… storage?
This is why I’m happy I had summer school.
Rich kids who don’t feel like taking stuff home for the summer.
Why would you need to take your stuff home?
It can cost more to bring stuff home and back tbh depending on your method of travel, you can’t leave your stuff at university, and a lot of people live in on-campus housing which shuts down all summer.
It can be way cheaper to find cheap storage facilities (or a local friend and pay them). It’s not just for lazy rich kids.
A rich kid would toss it all in a dumpster and buy new shit in the fall.
I ain’t dragging 2 carloads of pots, pans, desks, and clothes back home for 3 months when I know I’ll be living in probably the same dorm again very soon. A waste of gas, time, and money.
When I was in college I just stayed in the same dorm and worked. If I had to remove shit I’d have done similar to OP, minus the cool case
or the opposite - kids who can’t transfer all of their things at once for a reasonable amount of money
when i studied at a UK uni i couldn’t really afford shipping all my pots, pans, sheets, and books back and forth from Poland every year
Must be nice to have owned things. At that age I moved house with a backpack and a bin bag. The fun of apprenticeship wages.
International students often use it because it’s not feasible to take their stuff home over the summer. I also used Summer storage, because I was estranged from my family, so didn’t have a “home” to go back to and would have to spend the Summer in sublets or couch-surfing (the only accommodation that would accept me as a tenant were student properties, which is why I typically had to be out over the Summer).
So students in the US who live in dorms need to move out during summers even if they come back the next semester? That’s crazy.
My experience is actually in the UK, but based on anecdotes from friends, it’s similar in the US.
In my case, in one of the years, I could apply to stay in university accommodation over the Summer, but the room I was allocated for that was tiny, so I needed to get some storage anyway. It’s annoying as hell
Actually privately own storage room still cost about 100 € for summer storage today and that’s with inflation.
Yeah but can you chuck it in the river?
No, and I’m very envious of this nice case.
In an alternate reality:
Janitor at university. Found locked military case in river. Coworker says FIM-92 Stinger missile. Heavy. Maybe water, maybe live missile. Call police. Military and EOD arrive. Entire campus locked down. Half of workers taken for questioning. EOD open it – full of some idiot’s clothes and books.
New grudge unlocked.
EOD don’t open shit most of the time suspicious potentially unstable shit just gets a bit of c4 or anfo and a send off in place. It’s one of the perks to just say dunno and light it the fuck up.
Imagine if it was full of adult toys. That would be something to talk about.
Of course it’s company policy never to, imply ownership in the event of a dildo… always use the indefinite article a dildo, never your dildo.
Ownership of dildos must be normalized. In fact, I want to propose making mandatory to receive one upon becoming of legal age at your country of birth. Upon entering a new job? Complementary dildo. Entering the military? Camouflage pattern, G.I. Dildo. Graduating? Dildo. College? Dildo. Masters? XL Dildo. Doctorate? Epic Dildo. Getting engaged? Matching dildos.
Camouflage pattern, G.I. Dildo
G.I. Diljoe?
Masters? XL Dildo.
The Green Jack-It
College?
Magnum Cum Louder
Doctorate
The Cocktorate
I like how your mind works.
Are we starting a product line?
You made me realize being a professional double-entendre creator might be my dream job.
Start issuing fan cards and I’ll be your number one.
And they blow it up. Turns out OP did give a flying f***
You can say “fuck”, here. See?
Hunter2
I do not have the slightest idea of what you intended to convey.
Asterisks are associated with hunter2. That’s all they meant.
I’m either too stupid or too old to understand the underlying joke. Maybe both.
Voice to text default
Is there an AI joke in there somewhere or am I missing something?
No, voice to text default setting on android is to censor cus words with ****
people can also self-censor if they f***ing want to 😉
Yes, they can. I personally don’t even curse, by default, but I’m not offended to read the random swear, unless it is actively used to be an insult towards someone, which was not the case here.
I am interested in making sure people are allowed and expected to express themselves freely in this space, unless they break the “rule” I mention above.
Don’t censor yourself. If there is need for a swear, use it. Just don’t use swearing in place of proper speech.
Or better yet, they decide to just blow it up to be safe.
And their name in it…
Why would you ever sell something this damn cool
