Get it
come on boy you can do it
Mom we need to go to the vet - worms83, on 10/22/2007, -9/+168wtf is a flashnight?
- oojamaflip2006, on 10/10/2007, -3/+123Cool but wildly dangerous for peoples eyes. Not for nothing are CD lasers marked with gigantic yellow warning stickers saying 'do not disassemble' etc.; you can seriously ***** up your eyes or those of your pets o_x------'==
- Dorkbot101, on 07/15/2009, -3/+85As posted over on /. a couple hours ago... This is *extremely* dangerous. If even reflected light makes its way into your eye, you can expect to be blinded permanently.
- Sartori, on 10/10/2007, -0/+68As the old warning says: "Do not look into laser with remaining eye."
- encumbent, on 10/10/2007, -0/+57longer than knocking it over and rolling it up to his front door..
- fuzzmeister, on 10/22/2007, -0/+52Cement is a bit harder to burn through than a rubber balloon.
- Piedramente, on 10/10/2007, -1/+48Caution: This laser WILL blind you if you look into it.
- wassim2k, on 10/22/2007, -0/+43It projects darkness during the day - the opposite of flashlight.
- inactive, on 10/10/2007, -0/+43It's all fun and games until you briefly accidentally flash this over someones eyes and burn out their corneas. Seriously, a friend of mine has lasers similar to this (http://www.megalaser.com/) and makes us put on heavy duty eye goggles before he turns them on, cause even the reflection can ***** you up
- danep, on 10/10/2007, -0/+41Indeed, even the light accidentally reflected off of a metallic object and back at your eye could cause PERMANENT blindness in a matter of microseconds. Needless to say, blinking won't help at that point.
- deadlikeoscar, on 10/10/2007, -3/+38At what point did submitting a story about turning a flashlight into an extremely dangerous laser sound like a good idea? This is Digg for crying out loud--people will try this. Guess I better filter out all of the upcoming "Digg made me blind" stories. Somehow I don't think that their spelling will suffer much.
- mancat, on 10/10/2007, -2/+34Complain to the city? You can't just leave a freaking concrete-filled construction barrel on the city street.
- NetLogic, on 10/10/2007, -4/+36http://digg.com/videos/educational/DVD_Laser_Flashlight_Hack_245mw
- DeathtoG4, on 10/10/2007, -8/+39I guess the Dupe police are still asleep....
- ozid, on 10/10/2007, -0/+30I can't wait until I get blinded by one of my friends hours from now.
- doodlebumm, on 10/10/2007, -1/+30Cutting it up would be worse than encumbent's suggestion to move it, because after you cut it up, you couldn't roll it.
When you do roll it, do it at night, with dark "ninja" clothes on, and wear gloves. Also approach the house from the opposite direction as your home, so that any surveillance cameras he is using will not lead right back to you. :) :) Nothing worse that an angry neighbor (except an angry spouse). Oh, and if you live on a hill, be REALLY careful! :) - ukblacknight, on 10/10/2007, -2/+31Next week... How to turn your microwave into a nuclear bomb!
- Error601, on 10/10/2007, -0/+27Actually you're turning a laser into a laser.
- monarch00, on 10/10/2007, -0/+27You're asking an awful lot from the general population. You must be an idealist...
- Jugalator, on 10/10/2007, -1/+27The hard part is getting hold of a Flashnight.
- ukblacknight, on 10/10/2007, -0/+26whoever said it was a dog?
- JCSaint, on 10/10/2007, -0/+24Wow, you really put some thought into this.
- RubberBinder, on 10/10/2007, -3/+27who names a male dog fluffy?
- popothebright, on 10/10/2007, -1/+23EXTREMELY DANGEROUS. This can blind people very quickly. There's a reason lasers like this don't exist on the market (even though they're very easy to make).
- Dipster, on 10/10/2007, -1/+23"With remaining eye, do not look into laser."
- kopacetic, on 10/10/2007, -3/+24This has got to be the dumbest thing I have seen on the internet.. today. It's irresponsible.
So lets sum this up. You can either:
Option A)
Light a matchstick remotely. (Can't really say I've ever had the need to.)
Pop a balloon .. remotely. (As above.)
Option B)
or blind yourself severely impairing you life from that point onwards. Note that this can be done directly or indirectly and may take a millisecond.
hmms think I'll go with option B there Bob. The potential "wow that's cool" factor would last exactly the same amount of time as it would take for me to go blind.
It's not that its not fun. It's that some dip(&*t is going to blind themselves because of that post.
- EXreaction, on 10/10/2007, -3/+23The reason you're being dugg down is because everyone already knows what it was supposed to be.
- turbopro, on 10/10/2007, -3/+23http://www.instructables.com/id/EWM4YR2F4WY1LQ2/
picture by picture guide for building this. - LeeJunFan, on 10/10/2007, -1/+20Sure - if you blind the cops they can't chase you. :p
- Waterproof, on 10/10/2007, -3/+21This ***** is extremely dangerous, but awesome
- chowderdick, on 10/10/2007, -1/+18That guy's voice gives me the creeps...
- EXreaction, on 10/10/2007, -0/+17Yep, which is the reason I am not going to make one. :(
I have a low powered laser here and I have accidently directed it straight at my eyes enough times already with the help of a few somewhat reflective windows and mirrors. :( - EXreaction, on 10/10/2007, -0/+15I hope your posting that message from a mental hospital.
- oldhick, on 10/10/2007, -1/+16Are you kidding? Who the hell wants to slow down when you can build some doppler shift pulse thing... Almost as cool as sharks with frickin' laser beams
- contradictator, on 10/10/2007, -1/+15What's that smell? Is someone grilling burgers?
- snarkleclackers, on 10/22/2007, -0/+13Rubeus Hagrid.
- LogicBomB, on 10/10/2007, -0/+12It's not unreasonable for a person to overlook reflections as a possible problem. Unless you have the right kind of glasses you simply should not opperate a laser of this magnitude.
- dreamlayers, on 10/10/2007, -0/+12An infrared laser would be better. It would make it harder to tell where it's coming from.
- GiggleStick, on 10/10/2007, -0/+12That's helpful with only one L. ;-)
- nodonoug, on 10/10/2007, -2/+14asleep? This is digg. They're dead and rotting.
- arcooke, on 10/10/2007, -1/+12It's pointless to report dupes anymore.. if you do, you get buried.
- SillyRabbits, on 10/10/2007, -1/+12For lasers this powerful you don't even need to reflect the beam directly at the eye to cause damage. The diffuse reflection from just the wall (e.g. just looking at the bright spot it makes on the wall) can be damaging to the eye.
- russianmike, on 10/10/2007, -2/+13Whatever happened to the classic magnifying glass.. This is it. Ants have no chance, its over.
- 9a3eedi, on 10/10/2007, -0/+9dugg, but I wont check it out for fear of my eyes -_- .. This could potentially be used as a weapon now that I think about it...
- tonaros, on 11/14/2007, -0/+9Just paint a ridiculous face and write said neighbor's name on it.
- vsaint, on 10/10/2007, -0/+9Make some thermite, it'll melt right through it.
- moose26, on 10/10/2007, -0/+9Set your phazers to Balloon popping. I sense there will be a outbreak of crying children, formerly with Balloons, at theme parks and any public place where Balloons mingle and crazed tech monkeys mingle as well.
- HA5TY, on 10/10/2007, -2/+11This guy is the only reason I ever go to metacafe. He has a lot of cool videos.
