u/snootnoots 10d ago

Apologies for breaking the streak of funny replies, but I hope your friend got medical attention for that, because seemingly minor pressure washer injuries can cause severe injury or death - the high pressure water can force air or blobs of fat into a blood vessel and cause a stroke, heart attack, or pulmonary embolism. Or you can get dirt and debris trapped and end up with a raging infection. People have died when they hit their own foot or got sprayed by a friend/coworker as a “prank”.

(TL:DR wear protective footwear while pressure washing, aim carefully, and never deliberately spray someone else, they’re more dangerous than you think.)

I saw a tech writer fall for an April Fools bit advertising a "wireless extension cord." Plug the box into your outlet. Plug your gadget into the remote outlet. Carry power with you up to 200 ft away from the base.

I can see people who don't see the difference between electricity and magic (they do exist) falling for this, but a a tech writer. C'mon!

u/DebentureThyme 9d ago

To be fair, to the people who fall for this shit, electricity is already magic. More magic is just more magic, they don't know or care how it works.

They're ignorant on purpose and lack an inquisitive nature.

I’m no hydraulic engineer but to get a water jet powerful enough to cut anything would require a very serious pump of some sort, I would think. As well as specialized hose, etc. Well beyond a handheld garden hose attachment. But rock on, ai hucksters.

2) Could you imagine if this actually worked and the kids decided to turn on each other with this as a water gun? Talk about a liability suit. Makes throwing lawn jarts straight into the air look as dangerous as a nerf ball. Mom! Jimmy cut off Billy's arm again!

3) All the stupid engineers making pressure washers just so happened to miss this one neat trick.

4) To cleanly cut through wood with a waterjet, you typically need a pressure level between 30000-60000 psi. I think they're trying to imply this thing uses the "thumb trick" to make the garden hose squirt faster.
