you win! those are spectacular

[-] agamemnonymous@sh.itjust.works 18 points 10 months ago* (last edited 10 months ago)

Weird. I've only ever seen them the other way

[-] netburnr@lemmy.world 2 points 10 months ago

I got those for white elephant this year, gave em to the dog for a few minutes then into the trash.

[-] SatansMaggotyCumFart@lemmy.world 13 points 10 months ago

Such a waste of materials, time and shipping just to waste space in a landfill.

[-] agamemnonymous@sh.itjust.works 9 points 10 months ago

Your loss, surprisingly comfortable.

I got this exact pair for my SIL two Christmases ago. She didn't like them at first, but they were such a hit at her Uni that she loves them now.

I tried to post a picture. Not sure why it didn’t work. Here’s an edit to try to make it work.

Dungeons & Dragons: Mini Dice Dungeon

[-] popekingjoe@lemmy.world 5 points 10 months ago

That's super cool.

[-] smort@lemmy.world 2 points 10 months ago

So this is where you put the dice that only roll 1s?

A pullover type hoodie with a kangaroo pocket that's actually like a real kangaroo pocket. Only has a zipper at the top.

real kangaroo pocket
zipper at the top

I don't think real kangaroo pouches have a zipper. They lack an opposable digit to grab the zipper pull. Real kangaroos use snaps.

[-] helpImTrappedOnline@lemmy.world 2 points 10 months ago

There was a test group a few years back for pockets with zippers...they were not well received, so they are preparing to make the switch to zippers in 2026.

We got a tiny hoodie for the car's gear shift lever.

Yeah but I got a gut so it's like adding things to the top of the pile, lol.

Still comfortable as hell though.

[-] 9715698@lemmy.world 1 points 10 months ago* (last edited 10 months ago)

Kind of like an anorak? That would be a great design for a hoodie! I find hoodie pockets pretty useless for anything but your hands.

[-] LemmyKnowsBest@lemmy.world -2 points 10 months ago

actually like a real kangaroo pocket.

OMG does it lead to your internal organs, to your womb? 😳

[-] Moghul@lemmy.world 9 points 10 months ago

Pretty sure a kangaroo's pocket doesn't lead to their womb either. The kangaroo moves to the pouch after birth to finish developing.

[-] RandomStickman@kbin.social 3 points 10 months ago

True. But it got nipples though.

An emotional support pickle. I love it

That's pretty crafty. I love it!

[-] DwightAllRight@ttrpg.network 26 points 10 months ago

A bottle opener that captures and shoots the bottle caps out. Fun little gadget.

[-] Index@lemmy.wtf 20 points 10 months ago

Not really goofy per say, but I found it hilarious that my girlfriend got me a boo of dad jokes as a joke present, but then my ex girlfriend (we have a kid together, we're on very good terms) also got me a separate dad joke book as a joke present as well.

They know me so well.

[-] ook_the_librarian@lemmy.world 16 points 10 months ago

Oh no, you were double-booked!

[-] BurritoEater@lemmy.world 20 points 10 months ago

My 7 y/o got a yodeling pickle in white elephant Xmas. I can't wait for the batteries to run out. Lol.

[-] Thteven@lemmy.world 19 points 10 months ago

I can never find a tape measure when my mom asks for measurements on something so she gave me a toilet plunger with one chained to it, a hammer with one chained to it, and one with a magnet in it that sticks on the fridge.

[-] helpImTrappedOnline@lemmy.world 3 points 10 months ago

Think she's trying to tell you something else with that plunger.

[-] Thteven@lemmy.world 6 points 10 months ago

Yeah, she said I need a plunger to keep under the sink.

A Battery Daddy, which stores batteries in a clear case and has its own battery tester inside. It'll probably end up being less goofy and more useful.

[-] MarioSpeedWagon@lemm.ee 1 points 10 months ago

Got one last year. It’s verrry useful

[-] Usernameblankface@lemmy.world 9 points 10 months ago

It seems the economy has hit my entire friend group to where spending money on a gift that is designed to be goofy didn't happen.

The goofiest gift was a candle with a snow globe on top. The snow globe had no liquid (seems it was made that way) and the candle was enormous and oddly scented.

It's going on/near my desktop dumpster (full of mints)

[-] mysoulishome@lemmy.world 5 points 10 months ago

Maple bacon scented candle. It smells alright…I’ve gotten bacon scented/flavored stuff in the past that was awful. Back in the day my sis in law got me bacon flavored marshmallows that made our entire apartment smell like ass. Had to throw them away.

[-] garbagebagel@lemmy.world 4 points 10 months ago

My sister got me these Tiny hands.

Turns out my mom is very very freaked out by them so I had a great time.

[-] jcrabapple@infosec.pub 4 points 10 months ago

As a joke gift my mother-in-law got me a cartoon sized Star Wars pen and a Star Wars activity book. I'm 41.

[-] SharkAttak@kbin.social 3 points 10 months ago

Joke's on her, that's the best gift.

[-] conciselyverbose@kbin.social 2 points 10 months ago

I got an axe throwing game (plastic axes, so reasonably safe, but surprisingly fun). I would rather the axes weigh a little more, but as is it means it can be put out with other lawn games when families come over without being nervous about kids.
