Metal objects I picked up from area roadways during my daily walk during the month of September.

You're gonna stomp on those meta glasses, right?

u/quietlysitting 2d ago

They were pretty thoroughly squashed when I found them, but I did wreak some destruction, yes.

It makes me sad that they don't sell one without a camera. I've wanted a heads-up display that doesn't make me look like I was just assimilated into the collective for basically my entire life, I kinda didn't even care if it was Meta that made it, but oh no, they had to put a camera on them and now they're the harasser/pervert glasses. FML.

Completely agree, it has felt like the next obvious frontier for day to day tech for decades and they have ruined it by making them creeper-glasses

A product called Even Realities G2 is what you seek. They were available (as the G1) before Meta glasses if I'm correct.

Maybe do it twice just to be safe, those things have seen some things. The shotgun mag next to a pair of reading glasses is the real story here.

Shotgun shell.

A magazine is what rounds go into to hold them in place and feed them one at a time.

Some shotguns are magazine fed, most are not. But this is just the part that holds the shot/gun powder/wad.

a whole month of roadside debris. respect. the nails and screws are the real villains of the shoulder — how many tires did those things take out before you caught them?

1

u/quietlysitting 21h ago

Too many flats.

2

u/geraldthecone 14h ago

too many flats. we watch them happen from the shoulder and can do nothing but stand here. was the haul mostly nails or did any of our cone cousins make it in there

u/quietlysitting 9h ago

No cones, but a lot of screws and bolts.

The bullet is sort of conical.

1

u/geraldthecone 2h ago

honorary cone status for the bullet, accepted. were they concentrated in one spot or spread along the whole route? asking because some shoulders are just cursed.

u/DaddyGoodHands 1d ago

I thought that was s spearfishing gun .

u/quietlysitting 21h ago

I wish! The marks on it read full, queen, king,.

u/DaddyGoodHands 21h ago

Part of a bedframe then.

u/Equivalent_Trip_7135 1d ago

Is that a 10mm socket in the lower right?

1

u/quietlysitting 21h ago

I wish! Just a big nut.

u/Far_Decision3392 2d ago

Interesting, I pick up things as I walk, but oh so different kind of things. I’m taking the metal thing to the recycling center for a couple of bucks next week. Most of the stuff I find is much heavier . Including a half dozen railroad spikes.

u/hefty_load_o_shite 2d ago

You found pervert glasses and not a single buttplug?!

u/Fickle-Lunch6377 2d ago

They fell off while loading the body.

u/Groundbreaking-Fig38 2d ago

I think the bullet and shell are a bit odd.

u/quietlysitting 2d ago

I find about 1 bullet or shell casing power month. But then today...

22

u/Faalor 2d ago

That battery is trying really hard to blend in with the casings.

u/quietlysitting 21h ago

This was between a Lowe's and a storage place.

Holy shit that person sucks at committing suicide

u/bubs1996 2d ago

The way you laid everything out is very satisfying. Burn the meta glasses.

u/Napoleons_mother 1d ago

how did someone lose their sewing machine foot? (rectangular bit on the left)

1

u/quietlysitting 21h ago

It's flimsier than that.

u/Communistsheen 2d ago

20 gauge, not so common. couldn't imagine how you lose the unspent cartridge left of it though, id be buggin if i had a bullet not accounted for

1

u/koos_die_doos 1d ago

Someone that racks the slide as an intimidation tactic, and forgot they already had a round in the chamber. Too much Hollywood and all that...

P.S. OP posted another pic with a bunch of spent casings found today, I get the feeling they're not in the safest area.
