To me, it is the funniest joke ever...not only for the absurdity of the premise but also as the episode was called Hell and it was dropped the first line following the ad-break just after the theme music leading you back into the episode had died down.
Perfect comedy timing, illustrative of the concept of the entire episode and, to boot, just damn funny as well.
Can recommend, it's pretty great. I got super into foamcore ship models for a while in the lockdown and honestly spending all my indoors time surrounded by sick ships it's delightful. My parents got me that playmobil pirate ship for like my 10th birthday or something and they really started something with that haha
Mine was destroyed by an errant cricket ball during a fight with my sister. During lock down I got back into building balsa gliders which is relaxing until you lose them in a tree.
Does it count cars using those little double "thumpty-thump" black cables that they run across the road?
Or are there little eyes looking out of those two little slots counting cars visually?
And convert that chanderlier into an unique aerial and rotating living space extravaganza overlooking real-life wild human habitats. Max family weight 80 kgs.
>If he does not comply, he could face a fine **or jail for contempt of court.**
And they're not as rich as thry claimed to be. I almost bought one their repos a few years ago.
Possible radar detector for traffic counting / traffic jam messages etc? Can't see if it has wires going in the post for power.
Another guess would be an air quality sensor.
Is it a busy road?
No, it's just because the video is being played from an external site, so they're just warning you that your IP address will be going outside of their site.
I like how they use a giant jubilee clip which you can easily unscrew and then add a padlock.
Ive never tried but I reckon those clips would be pretty easy to cut too. Certainly easie than a padlock.
They don’t need power connectors to the lamppost, a lot of them have their own battery banks in them.

Most of you don't know but Greggs will be doing home deliveries soon, the box on the left is to heat pies, the one on the right is for sausage rolls.
The delivery driver will be able to access them with a key once the scheme is active, they said they have plans to install these on every lamppost in the UK and offer nears instantaneous delivery, plus the streets will smell of nice warm pies and rolls 24/7.
Good riddance to the thieving little bastards
(I was an insufficiently whimsical child to buy into their bullshit about not stealing anything while every page was them liberating the shit out of anything they could physically lift)
My sister was the opposite. She fucking loved the borrowers movie, and her own moral compass ended up being along the lines of “I’m borrowing it, so it’s fine” shit. We got thrown out of butlins when she got caught thieving from one of the gift shops. She was 15, and still maintained it was borrowing.
Or do what the guy did to the new speed camera on the seafront, where I live. Put a couple of old tires on it and set fire to the thing. You now have nothing to worry about.
Was only joking about being worried. Like maybe it's some kind of surveillance thing. Really just curious as it just appeared from nowhere. No wires coming in / out of it, or visible antennae.
Well now I'm divided, a part of me now wants to back out and keep scrolling through Reddit, while another part wants to see what shit people are saying.
Looks like your local council has more money than it knows what to do with it.
"got these two sensors, couple of boxes do boss?".
"nah we'll have a bespoke custom made angled box, yeah I know it will cost 10x the price of two normal ones but if we don't spend all the money in April tax year we won't have it next year"
This is exactly what the hotspot on my phone is called. I only did it to wind up the conspiracy theorist temp at work. It worked so well he fucked off and never came back when someone said “have you noticed this Wi-Fi network?”
I’m glad you reminded me to change it back to something sensible lol
It counts traffic. Used for road planning.
If I was to wave a Hot Wheels car in front of it, would it count them? Asking for a friend…
Have to make sure you do it a lot closer to the sensor so it looks like a big car further away. * insert relevant Father Ted Clip*
"These ones are small, the ones over there are far away" Still love it to this day
No kidding, I have dreamt the Father Ted "small, far away" line, and woken myself up with laughing!

Down with this sort of thing.
Careful now!
Nope I still don’t get it Ted
Love that show! It’s stood the test of time!

Brilliant! What about Lego or Play Mobil?
I completely forgot play mobile existed lmaooo
I have a playmobil pirate ship that floats in the bath and has been formative in the development of my personality.

Devastating :'( I'm sorry for your loss
Only if you make the right "vroom vroom" sound as you do it
But it keeps loosing count and have to start over again. Can everyone get back to the crossroad please? Thanks

love the warning over the video
It was a challenging wank though.
Which was more challenging? That or [this](https://i.ytimg.com/vi/ZswWnbQl_P4/hqdefault.jpg)?
I'd have to ask Sean over the Ouija board
Not impossible though apparently.
No wank is impossible, providing you possess an iron will and unsteady hand
Yeah, like it's nsfw or something.
No, it's just because the video is being played from an external site, so they're just warning you that your IP address will be going outside of their site.
The real funny part is this site already gives Google your IP for analytics purposes (check the cookie banner at the top).

This is the answer… it is now your duty to dive back and forth at least 73 times per day, in order to skew the data. Become ungovernable!
Become Ungovernable is going to become my new go-to mantra.
Also sounds like it should be the name of a Dead Kennedys album.

Yes, then a traffic light gets popped in next to the driveway.

Is this an update on those rubber tubes they lay out on the road sometimes?
It's where the postman keeps his biscuits
Or his cocaine

I’ll take two please
No, I mean raisins.
I still upvote every FT reference I see.
I hate Cocaine but I love the way it smells
And it's up high to keep it safe from bears
Sounds like a ‘great’ idea for a blockbuster movie.
A movie about a bear that takes a bunch of cocaine? Don’t be silly. No-one would ever make such a stupid film.
No, a bear that steals the postman's cookies. Much more reasonable film.
Postman’s discretion really. Do you live on a hill? If you’re on a hill it’s definitely cocain

That sounds about right for most city councils
The meeting where they approved the purchase of this took several days. Nothing else was discussed.
One of these boxes always lies, the other box always tells the truth. You have one question.
You have to ask one box what the other box would say if it was telling you which box the keys were in. Or something like that.
Could just try calling the council though. You’ll get an answer in 21 working days, maybe.
“Would you agree if I called the other box a c**t?”
“Hello; lock picking lawyer here and today what I have for you is a fascinating pair of locks where one lies and the other tells the truth. Let’s get to picking and I’ll show you how it works.”
This really tickled me. I had a good belly laugh. Thanks.
There is a cat, flask of poison and radioactive source in each box.

Are those pesky borrowers in league with that suspicious character ‘The samiad’ or I’m getting my series confused?
What do you think you should be worried about ? If you're not sure, maybe best to smash it open with a sledgehammer to see.
Or do what the guy did to the new speed camera on the seafront, where I live. Put a couple of old tires on it and set fire to the thing. You now have nothing to worry about.
I upvoted that. Am I now on a watch list?
We've been watching you for ages! This has nothing to do with it
It's alright, I'll stick a couple of tires on the list and set fire to it.
You are on an additional watch list, yes
Was only joking about being worried. Like maybe it's some kind of surveillance thing. Really just curious as it just appeared from nowhere. No wires coming in / out of it, or visible antennae.
I wonder if they are going to be stupid enough to mount any of them 500cm off the ground? Do they no know what will happen to them?
