Perfect! I finally was able to find the cottage cheese shredder that I've been looking for. https://anycrap.shop/product/cottage-cheese-shredder

I like how the product image is um... well-used.

There seems to be a great second hand market for the cottage cheese shredder!

ok this made me laugh out loud > The Flammable Fire Detector is designed specifically for environments where fire hazards require enthusiastic responses. This revolutionary alarm system combusts upon detecting flammable materials within close proximity. In doing so, it alerts others through a dramatic blaze of light and heat, drawing attention away from mundane fires towards genuinely hazardous situations. > Upon act…

Laughed with tears in my eyes.

Didn't quite figure that one out. I guess the AI isn't a Rick and Morty fan https://anycrap.shop/product/plumbus

Actually, the AI is apparently a fan https://anycrap.shop/product/pickle-rick

We do something similar at work. Except usually the dev department doesn't know until handed the project from sales and so the project goals might be entirely unrealistic given the deadline. What do you mean that feature doesn't exist? Well, I sold it to the customer, they have to go live in two weeks and their workflow depends on this feature.

While I've fortunately never had this happen to me, I'd be tempted to say something like, "Wow. Well, I sure hope you don't get fired over this. Good luck. We'll scope it out and let you know how much time we'll need."

Having been on on the customer side it's frustrating how often the situation is: Me: "So, you got a bid which offers features A, B, C, and D we asked for, and you say it also has X and Y and hit our budget?" / Buyer: "Yes".

A week later. "OK, their install team says it can't technically do C yet, however there's an early 2026 preview scheduled which addresses most of C. The D feature isn't in the edition we have, our buyers are talking to their sales people and we may need to pay extra to unlock D. And you're correct that two other organisations in our industry confirm X is dogshit and you'd be better off without it but it can't be disabled. Still A does work, and we have filed bugs about the known defects with B so hopefully we can get those fixed"

Every time I buy a product as an ordinary consumer I marvel at how much worse my huge employer is at buying products than I am. I reckon if they were sent to the store to buy a whole roast chicken with a £20 note they'd come back with six expired chicken sandwiches and no change.
