Still, we hear there’s money in it.
Help us come up with some potential Meh Originals by combining items that you know damn well we have lying around the warehouse (and then /showme what you’ve got).

/showme a combination toaster, blender, juicer, mixer, air fryer, and coffee maker in which each appliance folds out like a Swiss army knife.
@narfcake Isn’t that @mediocrebot’s girlfriend?
@narfcake Okay, that made me laugh
@mediocrebot I appreciate the vintage aesthetic.
For purposes of inspiration, I recommend these two videos.
@werehatrack hey I think I watched a video of that guy digging a hole one time.
/showme a combination ice cream maker and propane grill that’s inside an open refrigerator with batteries spilling out
Not very combination. Same prompt, take #2:

you really had a vision here.

@jouest at the LA coffee Festival before covid there was the representative from liquor 43 there. He actually had a bike that was a blender.
@Cerridwyn @jouest I was at an art fair once where some people had a bicycle-powered mini-band saw. They made flat wooden ornaments.
@Cerridwyn @Kyeh I learned about Amish blender conversions on this forum yesterday
@jouest @Kyeh Licor43 at a coffee festival made this very good alcoholic coffee. I modified it by using a high speed ninja blender (from meh of course) and nitro brew coffee
@Cerridwyn @jouest @Kyeh
Recipe?
@chienfou @jouest @Kyeh it’s very simple. It is cold coffee concentrate preferred or you can use cold brew I used Nitro Brew to get to beautiful foam. Ice. Liquor 43 and a blender.
@Cerridwyn @chienfou @Kyeh I’ll be reporting back on this.
@chienfou @jouest @Kyeh it is very tasty. Don’t read the ingredients list on the licor 43 before you try it. Seriously cuz you’re going to think that doesn’t taste good in coffee but damn it sure does. Much better than I espresso Martini but not something that you can get made most places
@Cerridwyn @jouest @Kyeh
THANKS!… Now I’m going to have to source Licor 43…sigh

BevMo or Total Wine. The drink above is what the iced one, the Blended one that he made, was originally based upon
@Cerridwyn
Alas, Alabama has draconian and very weird mail order alcohol laws. I may have to have it shipped to a relative out of state, or see if I can’t find it at a liquor store when we go to Georgia or Tennessee next.
@chienfou
I’m sorry
AI says that there are places in Alabama that carry it.
Here’s a thought that’s not outside the realm of possibility; a combination robovac and beverage delivery 'bot that can bring a beer and sweep up the peanut shells on demand.

@werehatrack throwback to meeting the parents of my first college girlfriend, dropping my peanuts on the floor of one of those restaurants where you can do that before slowly realizing that it was indeed not one of those restaurants where you can do that.
/showme an advertisement titled “meh” that shows an all-in-one desk lamp which includes an iPhone speaker dock, a fidget spinner, a makeup mirror, a battery dispenser, a toaster, a coffee maker, and a waffle iron. On the bottom, say “Only 99 easy payments of $99!”.
@narfcake that is oddly specific
@Cerridwyn @narfcake it’s perfect

/showme some good ways that a bulk quantity of TrackR personal tracking devices can be used as ballast or otherwise not go to waste.
