   The problem with being a weird geek like me is that I've seen the coolest thing I've seen in years and it's a DIY pie launcher

     It's by Fruitkitty. This image is SFW but the forum link is very not.

     But look at this beautiful thing. All the engineering and experimentation that had to go into this IoT enabled pie-launcher. I'm in love.

     like, yeah it's a fetish thing. this is a sex toy, even if you might not necessarily see that immediately.
     But I don't care? This is beautiful. I love the idea of making something this intricate and specific "just" for a kink.

     I can't help but admire this object and how much devotion went into it.

     this thing is a church.

     it's a church for getting pied in the face, but that's still a church and should be treated with reverence.

     @foone honestly it’s so cool to see that sort of passionate engineering go into a sex toy… and that there are seemingly opportunities for folks who are into that to experience it? yeah, it’s really damn admirable

     @emily There's videos on his profile, including ones of it working, but sadly they're focused on him getting hit with pies, not with the pie launcher itself going off:

     @foone ... are there videos of this working? Like the thing itself, I have no interest in the associated fetish, I just want to watch the cool machine do its thing

     @foone Is there a loading mechanism? This seems like it should be the sort of gizmo where you push the button and it whoomps out a pie every three seconds for a solid minute. Well, kind of a gooshy minute, anyway.

     Still, a marvelous object.

     @mjfgates No idea! I've not been able to see it in action. It might need to be manually reset, in which case the person resetting it might stick the pie in

     @foone here's another picture (SFW) of it in a bathroom, it's bigger than I thought: https://umd.net/media/forum_uploads/7_22/catapultloadedwithpie_uid_126042_1657040781_76027.jpg

     I so far have not found a video

     edit: I give up. I found several videos of people getting hit with pies, but it seems nobody caters to my catapult fetish.

     @foone @emily haha I'm in this picture :P

     it's an impressive device. To answer a few questions I saw in the thread, it's a manual reload to pull back the catapult and is calibrated specifically for one pie type and tin set (in order to not cause actual injury). The creator is pretty friendly so just ping them with questions :)

     Good to know. Everything I've seen suggested that he was a cool guy, and I've been thinking of reaching out just to make sure he knows his work is appreciated, even outside the WAM community
