You ready for this one? This is an inert cube of tungsten. It’s “geometrically perfect” in the sense that, uhhh, it’s a shape that exists in geometry. Tungsten is a dense element, so the cube is heavier than it looks. That’s it. That’s their entire selling point. This thing is so unspectacular that their Kickstarter page is full of misdirection and chicanery.
Yessir, those are definitely some elemental properties of tungsten. 70% denser than lead? Only 100 parts per billion in the earth’s crust? Take my money already! Specifically, take $209 for one kilogram of Tungsten. Hey, I wonder what the actual market price of tungsten is.
Oh, it’s $33/kg and falling. Well, surely the $176 price differential is due to manufacturing costs, right?
Haha nope. A bunch of Chinese manufacturers will sell you tungsten close to the market price in whatever damn shape you want for your desk or fuck room or wherever these people want to put their idiot cubes. You can also buy the stuff on Amazon (it’s used to balance pinewood derby cars, and I guarantee that’s how this guy got his dirty mitts on one in the first place).
Why on earth would they need $50,000 to develop an app and a web site? And how on earth could this concept be economically viable?
About this project
Mobi Kleen allows the user, to save time by ordering car wash service while they take care of other things.
Going to a regular car wash would typically take a person 10 to 15 minutes of travel time, (one way) and 20 to 40 minutes, (depending on type of service) to have their car washed. That’s about 45 minute they can never get back. During this time, the customer can do nothing but wait until the job is done to go on about their day. Our service techs will provide full service and detailing in a half hour without inconveniencing your schedule.
We plan to give our customers the one thing that we could ALL use a bit more of, TIME.
If you are stuck and work and can’t make it to the wash, open the app and schedule service. Got a hot date but not enough time to get you and your car ready, open the app and schedule service. Just don’t feel like getting out of bed, open the app and order service. Don’t feel like cleaning the snow off of your car before you go out, open the app and schedule service.
Regardless of the reason, RAIN, SLEET, or SNOW, open the app and schedule service. And we will be there.
We will use this money to finish developing our app and website, so we can present the full project to investors and begin our service.
Please Stay Tuned!!! As our support grows, so will our rewards..
Risks and challenges
Our current challenge is having a functional version of the app and website to present to our possible investors.
We have pricing quotes from developers and coders on standby to fulfill the order that we need. Also we have just begun taking classes to learn to code apps, in order to enable us to keep updating our services.
I feel like Americans were fed a lot of bullshit about American ingenuity and Thomas Edison when they were kids, which produced a generation of adults who view every mundane inconvenience as an opportunity to invent and market a revolutionary problem-solving gadget. In the course of solving some such minor problem, the semblance of reality and practicality fades away as the relentless capitalist logic of the inventor drives him towards the craziest possible solution. He then shits his product onto Kickstarter, where it floats up to the intake of Your Kickstarter Sucks, itself an bizarre invention created to solve the problem of Kickstarters not being made fun of enough.
Ryan wanted to get a picture of himself with his fiancé at Staples Center, but his arms were too short to take a selfie (I am not making this up; watch the video). They were forced to ask a stranger to take a photo, but the stranger’s photo came out bad and Ryan was too shy to ask him to take another. There’s got to be a better way! Well now there is:
The product will be a stationary stand much like the old telescope viewers that still exist at various national monuments. It will stand roughly 4 and 1/2 feet tall. It will have a small camera like those included on an Android or iPhone 6. There will be a touchscreen on the opposite side of the camera for customer’s to log into one of their social media platforms. It will also have a ten second countdown that beeps as those desiring a picture will have that time to pose with their friends for the perfect picture. After the picture is taken, it will be automatically posted onto whatever social media platform the customer has logged into.
Smartphones enable people to take high quality photographs anywhere they want, but what we really need is a $10,000 stationary apparatus mounted in front of Staples Center to save souvenir-craved sports fans the trouble and shame of asking a stranger to take a photograph of them. The best part is it’s totally free to use and funded by nothing more intrusive than corporate logos plastered on your photos:
So… Long story short, we will be offering companies to have their logos included on the customer’s pictures which are taken and then posted on social media and…BOOM! All of the sudden, instead of harassing our social media walls with advertisements that are scrolled through. Companies will now have their logos included on pictures of our friends at beautiful destinations across the nation and eventually globe! Thus using both word of mouth advertising while letting the people be the sole marketers.
Bilal Robot started with a simple idea of how do I motivate and teach young children, surrounded by technology, how to pray. I wanted to capture their imagination but also provide them with an educational tool that will redirect their attention away from video games. A companion that will teach, discipline and grow with child.
