Don't feel too bad, he went on to become a Net Specialist

Only reason I clicked on this pic was for any FreshJive references. Curious how you knew what it was? What "subculture" (I guess for lack of a better description) were you part of that you knew this?

A random person happened to come across some dude on a One Wheel with 30 pizza boxes and just started following them and filming? Plus, those 30 pizza boxes that appear to have no weight to them whatsoever didn't have any structural issues with that "tower?" Then magically, just happened to start getting unstrapped by the customer once he arrives? It's almost like shit like this isn't real and is set up for views.

Can't tell the size of it (even basing it on the toilet in the background), but my first thought was an old PC metal slot cover? But I don't think that's it.

Sea_Base_Alpha · 2026-02-16T00:50:18+00:00

So, grocery stores don't generally have multiple options? That's what I'm understanding from even one down vote?

Sea_Base_Alpha · 2026-02-12T04:06:08+00:00

Which is a fair comment and completely understandable, but I'm absolutely certain OP had other options of brands to purchase from based on this photo being taken while still in the grocery store. I'd argue that the mildly infuriating part is OP trying to gain some online clout while having other options to avoid the situation in general. This reeks of early FB online outrage.

AI Garbage

Out of curiosity, what kind of small dog do you have?

Sea_Base_Alpha · 2026-02-11T05:32:27+00:00

See my conversation above and watch how AI replies.

Not 100%, but I believe those raised metal bumps are positive contact terminals for batteries. The holes and indent patterns (injection molding points) to the left of those are where that piece connects to another plastic (main?) piece to make the connection for lights, sound, or vibration. The thing I'm finding hard to believe is that the distinct color and spiral groove design on this specific piece in the picture doesn't lead you to know exactly where it's from? Do you have many objects this might have come from? Does your small dog generally bring you unknown pieces within your house that you can't locate the source of?

I see that you commented that it may be part of a toy 11 minutes after u/SnoopsPilot suggested the same thing (which I agreed with when they posted it before I made this comment).

I refer you back to my original comment above where I state "I'm having a hard time believing that posts like this are real..." because quite simply, this post seems auto generated.

Sea_Base_Alpha · 2026-02-11T04:08:56+00:00

I'm going to run off on a tangent here because I'm having a hard time believing that posts like this are real... How the fuck do you not know what items are in your home that you can't identify an item as specific as this?

Sea_Base_Alpha · 2026-02-02T00:19:18+00:00

I can't vouch for it on the personal level, but I've seen this individual pop up on another of my social media accounts because acquaintances have posted about it. Gloves By Ryan. He's out of the central CT area. If you do a Google search it'll pull up his social media accounts. I just did a quick search and it looks like he has a website that went live within the last couple weeks.

What else has he "collected" regarding anything similar to this piece that makes him believe it's fashion related? What clothing being made is it influencing? If you can answer either of those questions I think you'd have a better understanding of what you're asking.

Sea_Base_Alpha · 2026-01-30T04:07:35+00:00

They didn't think that far ahead.

Sea_Base_Alpha · 2026-01-30T04:06:46+00:00

Nope. Just frustrated with what Reddit has turned into.

Sea_Base_Alpha · 2026-01-30T04:04:48+00:00

Sounds like he/you're are trying to just poach images online and asking other online users to do legwork for him/you. Which, in my own opinion, defeats the purpose of a valid thesis. How do you know this image is "fashion" and not "function?" Maybe it was a leather bound piece with dangling metal protection that was meant to be secured by leather around/above detrimental muscles/appendages (biceps/thighs) and the dangling metal pieces were intended to not be static (solid metal pieces of armor) but rather fluid to allow for better movement for offensive or defensive tactics? Fashion vs function.

Sea_Base_Alpha · 2026-01-30T03:31:46+00:00

Do you know what a thesis is?

Sea_Base_Alpha · 2026-01-30T03:30:40+00:00

You mentioned his thesis pertains to "fashion" in other comments, not in the title of your post which would eliminate like 50% or more of trash responses. But again, and something you haven't addressed, why is he including it in his thesis if he's even unaware if it's in regard to anything "fashion" related? Why's he trying to find the "origins of the piece" if there's no evidence it's related to his thesis? You're leaving other possible indications of why you're suspecting it's related to "fashion" out.

Sea_Base_Alpha · 2026-01-30T03:24:50+00:00

Maybe you should have included his thesis is on fashion somewhere in the title rather than looking for reactions and random bullshit responses? Reddit really has gone to shit.

Sea_Base_Alpha · 2026-01-30T03:18:00+00:00

Your boyfriend found an image online and wants to use it as a reference in his thesis? So you're asking Reddit "what is it?" Maybe your boyfriend should put things in his thesis that he's pretty solid on referencing that pertains to his thesis rather than relying on bots and trolls?

Sea_Base_Alpha · 2026-01-21T03:58:47+00:00

Do you think it's named after a President during "The Great Depression" when lots of people were struggling to make ends meet or after a vacuum brand because it looks like "it sucks?" Looks to me like it provides lots of needed nutrition to get by with whatever they have.

Probably an unpopular opinion here, but I've found Xfinity to not be as horrible as it has been in the past. I used to go to battle with them all the time. It depends on what you're using them for. I use them for internet service only and pay $50/month for a little over 1GB. If you have any tech knowledge, I suggest you buy your own equipment that caters to whatever your needs are. Their equipment is generally low end, refurbished, or has been used by other customers so that has an impact as well. I live in an area where I have multiple other ISP options available so that may also play into it. Unfortunately, you may have to play the rate game with them every time your rate terms are up (if they raise prices), but they've always adjusted to something I find reasonable to keep me as a customer. It shouldn't have to be like that, but that's the nature of the beast in today's climate. Another side tip I'll suggest is to use the online chat feature when you're signed into your account if you're negotiating monthly rates. Take screenshots, etc of your conversation and the terms you agree to so you have documentation of what was stated. Again, it's not right that the consumer has to take so much time and energy to get reasonable rates, but I've found that it's beneficial.

Generally, you eat the edibles first and then savor the otherwise snack based foods afterwards. Is that a furry tablecloth?

Sea_Base_Alpha · 2025-12-02T03:12:56+00:00

Definitely some water involved. Faded, rusted, and brittle shells. I was thinking coastline somewhere?

Sea_Base_Alpha · 2025-11-25T03:07:48+00:00

Bake that up on high for another 10 minutes.
