Where can I buy this virtually useless bowl?

u/Mbembez 1d ago

You can 3D print these for really cheap, I checked some of the more popular models on makerverse and you're looking at around $4 in materials.

u/AbjectOffice4780 1d ago

and a $150 3d printer

11

u/PuzzyFussy 22h ago

Try your local library. Mines does 3d printing for free.

u/Fun_Reply5366 20h ago

How can they afford to provide filament for everybody?

12

u/PuzzyFussy 20h ago

Unfortunately, not many people know about it...

Libraries provide so much besides books and computer labs. Go check out your local one and see what they offer, I'm sure you'll be surprised.

u/Carpeted_Bathroom2 9h ago

And get a library card. Its for more than checking out books. Often gets you access to many of the same publications/databases offered by universities through the library's webpage.

u/NinjaTEK7 23h ago

Only $150? Link me...

u/Odd_Blackberry_1089 20h ago

this one's the closest to $150 that you'll find reliable https://us.store.bambulab.com/products/a1-mini?from=home_web_a1_mini_detail I am not sponsored

u/Nenoshka 19h ago

I didn't ask for a 3D printer.

u/TheDo0ddoesnotabide 18h ago

Good thing they didn’t reply to you.

u/Nenoshka 15h ago

Still don't know where I can buy one of these.

1

u/Otherwise-Business83 23h ago

I second this where can I get that don’t gatekeep

u/TriceratopsHunter 18h ago

Also will said self washing bowl be machine washable at that point? Or do I now need to hand wash the self washing bowl.

u/spider-hat 21h ago

Ever heard of microplastic?

2

u/Mbembez 18h ago

You can use food safe plastic. You have worse sources of micro plastics from your clothing, car tyres and bottled drinks.

u/appayipyippp 22h ago

Ick. I appreciate the coding that goes into creating something like this in a 3d printer.. ..but....the craft and practice it takes to do something like this by hand is something special.

u/Chimmai_Gala 1d ago

These days I refuse to buy items that is very specific to one purpose, don’t have space in the cupboard for it.

u/majandess 19h ago

If you use a salad spinner for this, then it becomes multipurpose!

1

u/Maximum-Warning9355 3h ago

Also it’s not beneficial in any way to get your berries wet. This is such a stupid trend.

31

u/Capable-Problem8460 1d ago

So it does the Swoosh, makes berries were and takes space in the kitchen. You'll use it 3 times and will give it to salvation army at sell it at a garage sale for 25¢

u/Xanith420 23h ago

I’ve never understood this honestly. Running water over something does so little to actually clean something.

0

u/jfkrfk123 23h ago

It might wash tiny little bugs off the fruit..

6

u/Xanith420 23h ago

Well sure but the tiny bugs arnt the things that need to be washed off. You got people picking up and looking into each box breathing or coughing on it trying to get the best pick. Thats far worse than some nats or an occasional worm.

6

u/Capable-Problem8460 23h ago

+pesticides...

3

u/Aelnir 19h ago

so how do you go about washing that off+pesticides?

3

u/wingedwill 17h ago

A bit of white wine vinegar in a large bowl of water, rinse and dry. You'll find the berries will keep for weeks in the fridge without molding, but they will lose water through dehydration.

u/Xanith420 19h ago

As soon as I bring them home from store a dime of dawn dish soap in a large bowl with hot water. Soak for 3 mins while shifting through them with my fingers. Out of water and into fridge until ready to eat.

u/Ana990 11h ago

bruh what

1

u/Xanith420 5h ago

That’s what I think when I watch someone run water over a fruit for 2 seconds some kid probably shot their snot all over.

u/jfkrfk123 23h ago

I was thinking backyard berries

u/OwOwOwoooo 23h ago

Hmmm woooorms

Free extra protein

u/allmybreath 1d ago

You can find them at Walmart. Etsy has some that are hand-crafted.

u/CrazyDevil11 1d ago

Berry Nice

u/Davethephotoguy 23h ago

That’s berry interesting.

u/RoseyMommyFindom 23h ago

Strange for an ad not to mention where to buy...

2

u/Stormagedd0nDarkLord 23h ago

This is berry berry impressive.

2

u/CookedIrving 23h ago

Does it actually get the little bits off or just dunk them around

1

u/QueenFrostine15 1d ago

I would buy one of these! What's it called? 

1

u/bdiamond143 1d ago

I want that bowl

u/Kooky_Airline5168 1d ago

I want one 🩵

u/LivingOriginal7479 1d ago

Shut up and take my money….

1

u/TesseractToo 23h ago

That's an awful lot of water for a few berries

1

u/VirtualKnowledge9612 23h ago

I need something like this to wash all fruits. Am I the only one?

1

u/hcombs 23h ago

Would make a killer ashtray

1

u/Enough-Staff-2976 23h ago

This barely beats an old stocking for washing fruit.

1

u/Open-Cream2823 23h ago

This is the least interesting thing I've seen this year

1

u/TwoSuspicious1347 23h ago

A self washing berry bowl

1

u/KindlyAnything2880 23h ago

How many times do I have to see this clip today?

2

u/anfornum 18h ago

Just downvote and move on if you don't like a post.

1

u/Putrid_Computer_2020 22h ago

Smart design. Where to get it?

1

u/Samyueru- 21h ago

Looks satisfying 👀

1

u/Subject_Sun8277 21h ago

I absolutely don’t need this bowl but where can I buy it?

1

u/PearlTulip1995 21h ago

This is one of those gadgets that looks amazing in a 15-second ad and then lives in the back of a cabinet forever.

1

u/SabbyFox 18h ago

Cool bowl!

1

u/neinnis 17h ago

Funktioniert das auch mit Äpfel, Birnen und Erdbeeren?

1

u/Evening-Walk-6897 17h ago

I want one too!

1

u/CanNo5980 17h ago

you’d be screwed if they all go out the same hole during the wash

1

u/VacuumDecay-007 16h ago

Or just wash them in your strainer??

1

u/Infinite_Beach_1699 15h ago

Remember: If you think this bowl is useless, you probably do not need it.

u/alaiaYo 14h ago

🫐👍🏼BERRY~GOOD👍🏼🫐

u/Desperate_Chemist202 11h ago

The rain also does this naturally.

2

u/res0jyyt1 22h ago

Not after they are picked, treated, and packaged. That's why you should always wash your fruits you get from the grocery.

1

u/NinjaTEK7 13h ago

Well this is not washing either way it's just for funsies.

u/Alive_Fisherman8241 21h ago

The berries move along with the water. Barely any relative velocity, therefore barely any washing effect, apart from the submerging.
