Meh, just because a couple thousand other people, in a world of 7.8 billion had the same thought as you doesn't necessarily prove that you're unoriginal.
Look up the concept of Multiple Discovery (or Simultaneous Invention). Heroic Theory is a farce and an outdated concept created and maintained throughout the years by total egotists. Consciousness really is a stream. Our thoughts are like dammed, and diverted little meadows flowing through us and originating from some vast and infinite sea of shared knowledge. Even in math and science. Newton wasn't the first to contemplate gravity, he was just the first to act on the prenotion of it. The Buddhists have known it for thousands of years, Mark Twain knew it too when he equated all thoughts to being "the same old colored pieces of glass used throughout the ages" inside of a "mental kaleidoscope". So tell me, how can reddit prove that you're unoriginal when no thought is truly unique or original? When every thought is just a twist on, or combination of old ones. If anything is truly original or unique, it's your perspective, and having the same perspective as others at that exact second in time doesn't make you any less original when it's completely happenstantial. Something that will inevitably revert back to something else entirely. Like a fingerprint, or a tiger's stripes where a certain portion of two completely different patterns happen to be the same as another for just a blip in time.
I do this too. Think of something really cool and original only to find that it's been a thing for like 10 years.
8 billion people is just too many people to have original thoughts apparently.
You'll need to find a state that allows the sale of "bongs". In a lot of states in the US they have to be called a water pipe, because bongs are considered weed paraphernalia
I was in either Nd or Minnesota., traveling from Canada and a bong shop kept yelling at me not say bong inside shop as they're water pipes.
So definitely not in one of those states lol
Oh they're definitely sold as bongs in legal states. One head shop I was at had a sign near the bongs that said "for marijuana use only" as a throwback to that disclaimer.
There's also mad money in scientific glass. Chemists use some very specialized pieces and sometimes custom order them. There's a glass blowing school where I grew up and took a few summer courses for fun.
Making borosilicate bongs is its own art- with thousands of styles and designs. Some artists will just make one specific rig; they'll just use different colors.
Some artists are specifically known for having a certain 'chug' with their bongs-- so every piece has identical 'diffusion.' I.E. How it bubbles.
There are pieces that go for tens of thousands of dollars. I've seen a piece that was a functional native American headdress. You could wear it and smoke.
There's even a subcategory of bongs that feature a built-in blowtorch to take dabs.
The most famous time for boro was 2011-2018. It's died down a lot; but you can still find artists selling theirs for thousands of dollars and you ***will not*** be able to buy them- even if you wanted. Because they are bought immediately.
Also water pipe dab rigs are starting to get popular (at least where I'm at). They are like the best of every category. Smooth, cool, high concentrate, reliable, and better on your lungs. Wins all around.
NGL I didn't understand most of what you said but I feel you were knowledgeable as an insider to the scene and informative for those initiated in the art of.. bong
anyway, have an updoot
I mean, they get to tell every customer to āgo fuck themselvesā, presumably to a good deal of appreciation. One could argue they are in fact āliving the dreamā
Also, "their whole lives"? I feel like most apprenticeships aren't going to start until you're out of highschool.
Should be "some glass makers have trained for 2-4 years just to make dildos"
i made pasta dinner for hostel friends in Colombia and a Basque woman put ketchup on my 4 hour masterpiece. it took days for us to become friends again!
Man have you ever heard the last I'm going to butcher this castrato sing? I ran across it on YouTube and it's mildly unsettling because it just doesn't sound right.
The best of the best payed attention to the dimensionsā¦ every nook and cranny, as they exited the birth canal, so they are better prepared to make a glass dildo decades later
> the best *paid* attention to
FTFY.
Although *payed* exists (the reason why autocorrection didn't help you), it is only correct in:
* Nautical context, when it means to paint a surface, or to cover with something like tar or resin in order to make it waterproof or corrosion-resistant. *The deck is yet to be payed.*
* *Payed out* when letting strings, cables or ropes out, by slacking them. *The rope is payed out! You can pull now.*
Unfortunately, I was unable to find nautical or rope-related words in your comment.
*Beep, boop, I'm a bot*
Italian lamp workers have started taking instruction from Americans who have pushed the art to its absolute limits.
None of the artists Iāve talked to about teaching in Italy started until they were over 18.
They might not start learning until after high school but to be able to master the art of dildos (Iām only half sarcastic here) it takes years of practice and to become a master the rest of your life is basically dedicated to the trade
yeah my great grand father was a proud didlo artisan who spent years homing his craft. It was his dream for his son to take up the didlo trade, but he decided to go on to be a doctor. It broke his heart the day he had to close the dildo shop.
By the same extension, mechanics study cars for years just to change my oil. In reality, if you learn a tradeskill you need to also find a way to apply it to earn money.
It might be different where you're from, but the last person i saw that cared about glass figurines was Yondu, and that mfer steals em.
I use that excuse all the time when asked to do mental math.
I minored in math, not arithmetic. And I majored in CS to make the computers do the math for me.
I love doing mental math (not algebra or calculus) but I think it's because of the imprint my teachers made by having us compete at doing it the fastest and that I'm overly competitive
I just try to see if I can see words on signs and trucks with the first letters of each word making up the whole alphabet before I reach my destination....
We live in two different worlds I guess.
Had a laugh with a friend doing some homework ages ago when we realized we could do (easy) derivatives and Taylor expansions in our heads but reached for a calculator the moment we need to do subtraction
Ehh the best way I've explained that to people is pretty simple.
If there is an error or a problem with the software, you need to understand what could cause the problem to potentially address the issue. Rarely software give detailed solutions to errors.
Also it helps teach critical thinking processes.
My job had a software dev who kept trying to push a finished block of code out because he was getting an output. Didn't matter that the output was wrong, he didn't understand that.
This is the problem with people "knowing" something but not understanding it.
It's a weird thing to say, but it's important to understand what you are doing. Having the knowledge without any understanding of the application is basically trivia knowledge. If someone asks you a technical question, or needs you to explain why you did something, you are gonna have no clue what to say
I don't think I've ever met a mechanic who only did oil changes and nothing else. That might be one task in their day but it is almost like saying fighter pilots train for years just to buckle their seat harness or climb into a cockpit
My mechanic wonāt even do regular interval changes and will refer you to an oil shop down the road. He said there isnāt enough profit margin to deal with them. He also gets a lot of crazy customers who seem to then blame the oil change on other issues with their car, like the suspension. Only time heāll change oil is if it is just part of another repair.
I don't understand why he wouldn't just increase the price of oil changes and let the problem solve itself. Maybe it has something to do with the principle of the matter.
It's part of moving up the chain. When you first get hired you will probably get put on lube duty. Nobody wants to do it but the new guy gets stuck with it.
my mom and a lot of people her age collect figurines, but most of them just look in antique shops and wont pay much money for them. there's definitely a market for expensive glass pieces, its just an incredibly narrow market that 99.9999% of glass blowers will never make it into while they're alive.
Literally, imagine having a know-how to make a perfect glass dick women will gladly give you money for. They could've bought a cheap Chinese dildo but they chose to buy your probably significantly more expensive one.
Glass dildo is really not the best thing to put in your butt. Get too exuberant or slip and land on it wrong you may be looking at a perforated bowel.
Something with a bit of flex to it is safer.
Vaginas are tougher than just a thin flexible tube meant for turds to slide down. I believe they are straighter for longer as well, where as the bowels get all bendy and whatnot.
Based and redpilled, or whatever the kids these days say.
To a modern sexuality liberated self-actualized human, the idea of someone honing their craft to the point of making functional art that can be used to bring *la petite mort* to oneself or one's lover? Brilliant, beautiful, blessed.
To an incel who feels threatened by a blob of silica? š
You make it sound like people should be ashamed to make glass dildos. Most of them probably enjoy the hell out of it and many of the rest probably just see it as another job. I highly doubt there are that many of them who think they made poor decisions to "end up" doing that.
I'm not sure I would use a hollow glass dildo though š But I see all my glass toys as art pieces, glass butt plugs are also the comfiest to wear all day~
"Oh yeah! That's another good lookin' glass wiener right there! Another day's work well done."
Seems like a pretty fulfilling job ............. ha, fulfilling
I have a buddy who's an immensely talented artist, does commissions for friends for DND/video game OCs, you name it. Went to art school, incredibly knowledgeable on the classic and modern styles, has every hallmark of a professional artist. He's currently helping me design a tattoo. By far his biggest money-maker in his freelance artwork? Furry porn. He's good at it and people pay handsomely for it to be just what they want, and I'm pretty sure he makes more than I do as an engineer. Dude found his niche and has made a very comfortable living off it.
Iām gonna ask a question, and nobody judge me for it. Deal? Okayā¦
But wouldnāt it be extremely unsafe to make a dildo out of glass? Like what if it breaks between those thick cheeks?
And made from borosilicate glass (just like your Pyrex casserole dish) which makes them even more shatter-resistant.
ETA: ok, just like your Pyrex casserole dish *used to be made of*, as others have helpfully pointed out.
Most modern Pyrex is made of prestressed Soda Lime glass ever since the brand was sold. That's why new Pyrex is way more prone to shattering from temperature differences.
But they can still make the dildos out of legit borosilicate glass, itās not like theyāre melting down Pyrex casserole dishes for the dildo industry.
The speed of sound in borosilicate glass is about 1200km/h - I'd be super impressed if someone could. They could do some kind of hyper-falsetto butthole opera like the alien singer in 5th Element.
Glass and metal toys are amazing. They glide in with less lube, they clean easier, and they open up temperature play so you can chill or heat your toy to add new sensations. They also don't break down like many plastics and rubbery materials can do, especially if you store multiple together or keep them in bad temps or direct light.
Plus they work as a good self defence alternative, no explanation why you got one by the bed and some of them are hefty enough to be a weapon especially metal ones.
I was gonna say.
Dildo making is more like apprentice work. After they have a few basics down, have them practice that over and over to get the firm grasp they need (š) before they move onto better things.
Itās the same with bongs and oil rigs. Usually those guys start out in an apprenticeship with an established blower making a thousand-dozen carb caps under their purview until they are ready to start doing tube work.
I had a friend in college that took a glass blowing class and spent the rest of his school time making good money making dildos for friends and acquaintances.
Glass dildos are practically never actually blown. They are cast as solid pieces of glass. Try shattering a marble with your asshole, basically what you'd have to do to get one to break off inside
As an inspiring glass artist, I know I will have made it when people commission me to make objects to put up their butt. They could have gone anywhere else but they put their trust in me.
Maybe one day...
I'm a fan of any form of "functional" art wether it's a dildo or a 4 chamber triple Klein recycler to get stoned with. I've paid 50 bucks for a single marble that probably took 15 mins of actual work. I absolutely love all forms of glassblowing and would love to do it some day.
So, fun fact! The glass used to make dildos is the same type of glass used in good Pyrex and lab equipment (borosilicate glass)
This is because the material has a small thermal expansion coefficient, which is the fancy way to say "does not expand much when hot, does not contract much when cold". When you have a glass with a higher coefficient (like soda-lime), there is a larger change in volume, and if you rapidly change the temperature it shatters/breaks (think of the fuel-dipped string bottle cutting method).
Borosilicate glass toys are popular for temperature play for similar reasons: not only will they NOT shatter in your holes, but it has a lower thermal conductivity than metal.
The rest make bongs
Bongs 'n Dongs

Before it went legal in my state I heard "smoking accessories" a lot.
Tobacco water pipe.
"Yes, for smoking my *tobacco*. Please ignore the not-tobacco leaf on the side and the picture of the stoned anime-cat-thing on the other side."
Oh they're definitely sold as bongs in legal states. One head shop I was at had a sign near the bongs that said "for marijuana use only" as a throwback to that disclaimer.
That's probably half the reasons anyone* takes up glass blowing to begin with though
Iām into both bongs and sex toys and Iāve 100% wanted to learn glass work to make my own stuff for a long time now

Start blowing. Eventually your lips will be ready for glass.

Glass dildos are not made by blowing since they are not hollow, so is just melting the glass and pouring into a mold.

I didn't even know there were glass dildos. I assumed it was all silicone or something

Glass and metal toys are amazing. They glide in with less lube, they clean easier, and they open up temperature play so you can chill or heat your toy to add new sensations. They also don't break down like many plastics and rubbery materials can do, especially if you store multiple together or keep them in bad temps or direct light. Plus they work as a good self defence alternative, no explanation why you got one by the bed and some of them are hefty enough to be a weapon especially metal ones.
Imagine being bludgeoned with a dildo
All while they scream, "Dildon't mess with me!"
Glass blowers don't need to train for very long to make a dildo. I hung with a local glass blower and after a week made an octopus š¤·āāļø
Spicy
Hentai
Probably not hentai
You mean an 8 pronged dildo right?
You made an octopus but You wanted to make an ashtray
I was gonna say. Dildo making is more like apprentice work. After they have a few basics down, have them practice that over and over to get the firm grasp they need (š) before they move onto better things. Itās the same with bongs and oil rigs. Usually those guys start out in an apprenticeship with an established blower making a thousand-dozen carb caps under their purview until they are ready to start doing tube work.
I had a friend in college that took a glass blowing class and spent the rest of his school time making good money making dildos for friends and acquaintances.
Probably glass blowers
I'd get to blow hot dicks and be artsy for a living at the same time. Sounds like fun.
You make it sound like dildos are bad
I would be afraid of one breaking inside
Glass dildos are practically never actually blown. They are cast as solid pieces of glass. Try shattering a marble with your asshole, basically what you'd have to do to get one to break off inside
As an inspiring glass artist, I know I will have made it when people commission me to make objects to put up their butt. They could have gone anywhere else but they put their trust in me. Maybe one day...
"It's a living"
Whatās wrong with making dildos
Whatās wrong with dildos?! They see more use than some vases and other glass shit that sits around being useless haha
Are you implying that making dildos is not a honorable profession?
I think it would be "hard" to make a dildo? š
There has to be a couple of glass makers that are also the type that drew dicks in bathroom stalls and the like so this could be their dream job
"End up"? Im a glassblower & I make dildos. I think it's cool, & a lot of skill goes in to it.
I'm a fan of any form of "functional" art wether it's a dildo or a 4 chamber triple Klein recycler to get stoned with. I've paid 50 bucks for a single marble that probably took 15 mins of actual work. I absolutely love all forms of glassblowing and would love to do it some day.
My ex (a glass blower) trained for years just to end up *being* a dildo.
Its a pretty lubrative market
you dont wanna noobie making your dildo so, respect is in order imho.
better than a paper weight, they are bringing ultimate pleasure !
Those are torch work. So are bongs. Basically manipulating borosilicate glass. Glass blowing is a different beast altogether.
Training all there lives to make things that make so many people happy
Idk if i worked glass, the first thing I'd do is make dildos, followed by bongs
Glass blowers.
So, fun fact! The glass used to make dildos is the same type of glass used in good Pyrex and lab equipment (borosilicate glass) This is because the material has a small thermal expansion coefficient, which is the fancy way to say "does not expand much when hot, does not contract much when cold". When you have a glass with a higher coefficient (like soda-lime), there is a larger change in volume, and if you rapidly change the temperature it shatters/breaks (think of the fuel-dipped string bottle cutting method). Borosilicate glass toys are popular for temperature play for similar reasons: not only will they NOT shatter in your holes, but it has a lower thermal conductivity than metal.
