My gooner brain read this as "fleshlight".... I need to touch-grass

[–] [email protected] 21 points 1 day ago (1 children)

he's just a guy who's autistic for flashlights why are you all being so mean

his point about the ui needing to be simple is immediately clarified by his allusion to their lack of flashlight enthusiasm or experience (not any disdain for the female brain)

much better people to bully

yeah Idk why people are so bent up about the interest in flashlights and not the funny part about needing a specific kind for women lol

I like to imagine the person is just complimenting their strong mothers, aunts, sisters, etc. Obviously they deserve the right tool for the job, not some chintzy product that is colored pink. So many companies, which once made reliable products, no longer make anything worth the paper money needed to purchase them. Plus it's a flashlight, less features means less ways to break, so it really needs one or two buttons. Some of the best tools are simple. At least the person didn't use feeeemale as a noun.

Probably a chud, though, but I like to give the benefit of the doubt.

I'm just looking for a flashlight with boobs.

This is what happens when someone is so hollowed out by hyperconsumerism that buying a fucking flashlight becomes a substitution for an identity.

This sad motherfucker soyfaces over flashlights like they were funko pops and knows more "boutique" flashlight brands than he knows people.

He has strong opinions on every minute detail of his purchases like the bevelling on the glass rims or the best method to turn the fucking light on.

He probably follows the companies' management on twitter and has intense opinions on the companies, in the way a lib redditor will know every minutiae of his political party's niche actors and figures.

A perfect consumerist zombie with no thoughts or actions that aren't filtered through consuming his Product(tm).

Absolutely horrifying.

Women enter the "big strong" category once they have enough physical strength to hold a normal-sized flashlight.

Isnt he kinda implying the other flashlights would be too complicated for women or I'm reading too much into it

[–] [email protected] 1 points 29 minutes ago

Never underestimate how confusing people can make a basic task.

[–] [email protected] 12 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Some flashlights and a brightness feature. I’m sure that’s too difficult for a woman to figure out…

Some have many modes (high-mid-low beam, fade output, lock switch,... A lot) but most only have 1 push button - the combination of hold / click / double-triple click can get complicated.

My Thrunite has "only" 4 main functions that I use, and probably at least 2 or 3 more that I am not aware of.

No, I don't get the gender part either. Tho I would go with rechargeable for someone not used to them, it's easier to plug when needed rather than cry because the batteries are dead and the shop is closed.

Modern flashlight: click click click click and hold

Traditional flashlight: click

Theres too much Yang Energy in the light of a flashlight

A woman should use the Yin Light of the moon to navigate at night

[–] [email protected] 9 points 1 day ago

Oh my goodness, as a woman I'm so glad A MAN is there to make sure a freaking flashlight doesn't come with a too complicated UI for my lady brain...

[–] [email protected] 23 points 1 day ago (5 children)

you can go onto so many places where people will argue about like... the water taste in new york vs boston and form a mob to kill you if you have the wrong opinion

[–] [email protected] 17 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago)

Okay...to be fair, tap water tastes wildly different in different places. And the place I'm from tastes the best.

what kind of flashlight has a complicated UI

[–] [email protected] 10 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago)

Ones running on Anduril 2

[–] [email protected] 7 points 1 day ago

I have several flashlights with customizable and flashable UI. It's called Andril, there's others out there. There's various beacon modes, battery check, timed dimmer, customizable floor and ceiling brightness, thermal limiters, etc. Kinda becomes a necessity with some of my lights as some can actually start fires.

[–] [email protected] 17 points 1 day ago (4 children)

Complicated UI? It's a torch, or "flashlight" as this guy calls it. It has like, 2 buttons at most, maybe a button and a twisty thing on the end. I don't think this guy knows what "complicated" or "ui" means.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 25 minutes ago

He means shit like this

[–] [email protected] 12 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago)

What about the vibration setting?

But really, it amazes me the fact that people assume woman can’t figure out how to use tools or appliances. My wife was repairing drywall the other day, she spent the week prior watching YouTube videos and reading about different methods. It’s not hard to read, comprehend, and utilize the knowledge in order to build up a skill, in fact it’s the same way the manly men would handle it.

Yes. See Alan Wake for details.
