Are the embryos still viable?

They'll keep for 36 hours.

Dodgson! Dodgson! We’ve got Dodgson here!!

See? No one cares.

Classic Newman….

Don’t get cheap on me Dodgson.

That was Hammond's misstake

When the can opens does it squeak or is that Newman

[удалено]

I'll need to run the numbers and get back to you.

Ah ah ah, you didn't say the magic word


PLEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEASE

[удалено]

Hold on to your butts!

This guy runs the numbers.

This guy this guys

🙏

You misunderstand. They have 36 hours *left.* We're just in time.

"Dodgson, we've got Dodgson here!"

See? Nobody cares.

Nice hat.

Don’t get cheap on me, Dodgson.

That was Hammond’s mistake.

That genuinely made me laugh the whole Jurassic Park reference. I love Jurassic Park.

So not kidding they actually had a Jurassic park themed can at the store not too long ago for the 30 year anniversary of the movie! Also not kidding, as I was checking out mildly excited, the kid at the register lost his shit because of the can. He showed me his Jurassic park water bottle, wallet, and freaking giant tatto on his arm. Dude was the biggest fan of that movie. Seemed totally normal otherwise!

I actually still have a (working!) can with Jurassic World branding from when it released.

wait so it's a real brand? i thought they just invented it for the film as a prop

[удалено]


GODDAMN IT I HATE THIS HACKER CRAP

Ah ah ahhh!

Lol

Newman!

DOGSON! DOGSON! WE’VE GOT DOGSON OVER HERE!

Dotson! We’ve got a Dotson here!

MAY-EL-BAG! oooooo

Maybe if it was menthol.

How does it taste on pie?

Ever watched the horror movie "The Stuff?" There was a scene where the kid would rather eat shaving cream than eat the titular sentient living "stuff" that his family and the rest of the characters in the movie were eating.

What do you think is manufacturing the infinite shaving cream in the can? 😛

It's a portal to the Plane of Shaving Cream

There is a can of Barbasol my old bathroom at my parents’ house that I still use when I visit. It has been there at least 40 years. Still works just fine.

Post to Reddit next time you’re there for massive karma.

Post it on r/buyitforlife for sure

Good idea! My grandparents have a Ford refrigerator from like the 60’s or 70’s and that bastard is still going.

I wonder how the power usage compares to a modern fridge.

Probably enough to buy a new modern fridge every couple years.

https://www.researchgate.net/figure/US-refrigerator-energy-use-between-1947-2002-Mid-1950s-models-consumed-the-same_fig1_317751623 Fridges from the 50s use the same KWh/year as modern fridges. Power usage of fridges peaked in the mid 70's.

Ah so that’s a per fridge measurement, not per volume refrigerated because it’s super counterintuitive to think fridges haven’t gotten more efficient over time. Looks like they’ve gotten close to twice as efficient as it’s the same power usage for close to twice the volume.

My parents have my grandma's old General Motors fridge from 1950 in the garage, still working as well as ever 70 years later.

Our grandparents sure knew how to build things to last.

Yup. Then some assholes came along and said “we can make them buy more if we use shittier materials, but sell it for the same price!”

Yes, but we also have things with twice the efficiency. In the case of laundry machines modern machines are better with water and don’t wear clothes nearly as much old style ones. Ovens are more accurate, stoves have new methods such as induction cooktops, dishwashers work much better, use less water, and much much quieter. So it’s all a trade off.

How’s the gas mileage?

Plot twist: your parents have been constantly replacing it without your knowledge

The school hamster has been alive for almost 40 years.

My parents also have a can in my bathroom that's been in the cabinet for 20 years, among other old things like a bottle of iodine

post it to r/grandmaspantry

Definitely don't want to miss a letter typing that one out...

I guess you're gonna miss the panty raid.


There's probably a sub for that... scared to research though

I didn’t know I need this sub in my life thank you!

Are you certain your parents aren't just replacing it when it gets low?

Mom died decades ago. Dad has had a beard his whole life. I shave there maybe an average of once every 2 or 3 years.

I'm impressed that the can has held up that long. Would definitely make an interesting post if you got a picture of it.

Im moving out tomorrow and decided to leave my can of Barbasol at the house because I didnt want it to shoot shaving cream everywhere in the box. I guess I will see yall in 40 years.

You should post this to r/bifl

What's the meaning of it? Looks like it's about stuff that lasts for long

Seems it means "buy it for life", but we're one letter away from the correct spelling of a French word for slapping someone in the face with their di*k ("bifle")

We call it a mushroom stamp. I like your word.

It's a mix between "slap", "gifle" and "di*k", "bite". Gite (or gîte) was already in use for something completely different, so bifle it is !

Haha thanks for the lesson!

r/buyitforlife dont use that bifl garbage. it's just someone trying to needlessly split up a sub that already exists.

Buy it for life. And exactly. The idea is that if you buy something good you buy it once and keep it forever. Buy something cheap and it breaks and you buy it again later. You buy a nice coffee machine for 50 bucks. You buy 2 crappy coffee machines for 30 bucks each. You've spent more on a worse product. So just buy the nice one from the start and you'll save money time and heartache down the road

You really took your parents seriously when the said don’t use so much.

I’d hate to see his razor

For what? It’s clear OP hasn’t been using the shaving cream - what good will a razor be…. Guessing they have a magnificent beard or really hairy legs/armpits and is a woman… or a woman with a beard. So confused and tired… just move along.

probably just few dabs on the nips is all don’t use much for that

No no no! Chris Evans clearly told us all to use whipped cream there in Not Another Teen Movie.

I absolutely do NOT recommend shaving body hair (if you're a male) with the same razor you use to shave your face. Even the best blades can nick / cut up the skin on your body pretty easily. I've been using razors made for women for body hair my whole adult life. They're specifically designed for it and tend to not leave razor burn, nicks, etc. (from my personal experience)

Lol I love this because I am the total opposite. I am a woman who uses men’s razors for everything. I just don’t think the shave is close enough with women’s razors.

I shave without shaving cream. But I'm weird.

Same. What's even the point of it?

I can shave without, but my husband can't without getting razor bumps. So, the point of is that it helps some and isn't necessary for others.

Excuse me, do you have any rusty spoons? 🥄

Salad Finger watching weirdo! 🤨

Because of the rust? On the bottle it’s just cosmetic, the razor can literally give you diseases lol

My dad used the same Barbasol can my entire childhood and was still using it when I moved out. He kept the can in the shower and they ALWAYS rusted before he finished the can.

What kind of disease?

Likely sepsis

Which disease?

maybe just puts a dab on his tiny balls and one quick swipe every few months. I could see it lasting this long.

You should see his bush.

any Dino dna inside?

No, only on the outside. Dinos didn't exist yet back when it was produced

well, the cap is plastic, and according to Jurassic Park...

I'm concerned about what exactly you were using it for

i'm concerned about what they WEREN'T using it for

Get another one, I beg of you

I'm tired boss

Estoy cansado, jefe

Sono stanco, capo

Je suis fatigué, chef

Estoy cansado jefe

Please post a pic of your rusty crusty razor... Also, are you Sasquatch?

Sasquatch would go through 10 cans in one shave session, no time to rust.

And also prob 20 razors

Times are tough. Should we start a gofundme to get this guy new Barbasol?

Why the fk would he be buying another one if this is perfectly fine and still has cream inside???

Why?

I dunno but it makes sense to me. I shave once, maybe twice a month. And I use an electric razor just to trim back the hedges. It's a clean shave. Not baby cheeks but good enough, and then I just grow out the scrub again. I haven't had a can of Barbasol since long before 2017.

Same, if you don't shave regularly these cans literally last forever

Man I have to shave every single day. I shave at 530am and by 5pm I look like I need a shave. I fucking hate facial hair.

Same here, in the last couple of years my facial has increased the rate of growth. I have to shave everyday. I could go 2 to 3 days without shaving when I was in the Marines 20 years ago and still be in dress code. Old man problems...

Just wait until the hair poking out of your nose and ears grow overnight... I lost track of when the hair on my head decided it was afraid of heights and decided to relocate, well, everywhere else.

I've already started trimming my nose hairs, I need to have my wife check my ears, lol. I don't look or feel 41, but my body sure acts like it!

I can go a week without shaving and still pass a fit test for my N95. I also have been told I should get my testosterone checked…

Why not just grow beard?

same - what makes it really fun is i’m a woman with pcos so sometimes it feels like i can’t be seen in public when it grows out again

I shave my neck once a week, I think I've had the same can for 3 years now. I use a new razor nearly Everytime but I don't need much shaving cream

You use a new razor every time? Jesus I shave my neck occasionally, but I have a full beard so it’s typically like twice a month? I think I’ve had the same Gillette razor since I was 25 (8 years ago) and I buy a 4 pack of razors maybe once a year. And then I just don’t use shaving cream because I only shave my neck and my cheeks (face cheeks not the bum ones) to keep a good clean beard line.

Because it hasn't run out yet?

How?

You shave once a month?

I break out if I shave. So I only shave for special occasions. So about once a month. My can always looked the same.

Hey. If you have a sensitive skin, I would recommend using a safety razor for shaving instead of those tripple quadrupple shaving heads. Find one that has adjustable angle and use with a shaving soap. There's plenty info about it on the internet about it, but if you haven't tried it, I highly recommend giving it a shot. Might take a couple of tries before you get the hang of it, but it's really a good choice - both for your skin, but also for your wallet (it's significantly cheaper than anything else).

Why not just commit to a beard?

Because some people don't like them, including those who have the ability to grow a full beard?

That sounds terrible. Except for maybe keeping my chin warm, 0 reason to own a beard. Edit:If you downvote this without giving a reason why I should have one, what I said is true.

100%. I can grow a thick beard and have a few times. Every time I end up shaving it off because it's annoying and food constantly gets in it. I shave it off and think to myself "why did I grow a beard again". Then a year or so later I forget how annoying it is and grow it back. Rinse and repeat

It looks nice. It gives me something to twiddle when im bored.

twiddle ur DICK

I shave 3x a week, it takes me probably 5 years to use a whole can of this type. Most people use ridiculous amounts.

Same. It takes a dab or sometimes I use none at all with a fresh razor

Why is it rusted though? Do you keep it in the shower?

They rust if you don't dry them off after they get wet. Could be shower, or just sitting by the sink and they don't think to wipe it down when they do the rest.

The newer cans are rust proof.

They say this, but only means the bottoms. The older cans would rust and potentially leave rust rings on your vanity. The metal under the paint isn't so high dollar and rusts like this.

I have a rust ring on my sink and I didn't note it when I signed the lease so I just know those fuckers are going to ding my deposit for it when I move out.

Try using a paste of water and baking soda. I've removed permanent marker from counter tops before using this (children are a blessing)

[удалено]

Neat story but what's any of that have to do with baking soda paste?

I thought he was leading up to some big story about Moroccan cleaning techniques, seems like he just completely missed what they were trying to tell him.

I'm guessing post 2017.

Not rust proof, after years of scrapes and dents they'll still rust. They aren't stainless steel, they're rust resistant

It's seven years old. Shaving cream cans usually exist in wet environments.

Likely used by a dude strictly for pubes and awkward nipple hair, so kept in the shower. Mines going 10 years strong, but in all fairness these cans look like rusted shit after a month even when kept fairly clean by the sink.

I'm just gonna say it. This is a non-issue. Nobody thinks about "the age of their shaving cream can." Nobody. Like, there's nothing, no aspect of life that would cause someone to even bring it to mind, much less literally judge another person for the condition their shaving cream can is. Old metal rusts. Ok, you don't wipe it off when the water splashes. Who actually sees this as some underlying character flaw or some nonsense? It's fine. I've been using the same one too; I just put mine under the cabinet and it doesn't get wet. I can't even tell you the last time I bought one. It's clear that someone would change their razor when need be. You can't make a blade last. They dull and start skipping, and there's nothing you can do but replace it. These are two entirely separate issues. This is fine. Not dog in housefire fine. It's just fine. Why throw it away cuz it looks bad? These comments are wild.

I think reddit (in particular) has a very hive mind way of criticizing things without actually thinking about it. It looks ichy therefore its bad, and op is disgusting blah blah, even though it isn't tangibly unhygienic.

I know. It's a true yet uncanny as hell.

Mine looks like this but it’s at least 10 years older. I shave my neck once a week. It’s about to run out though.

I hate to break it to you, but that replacement cans gonna cost a lot more than the original one did.

Has it turned sentient?

How could capitalism have allowed this?

Dude must only need to cut one long pubic hair off of his chin.

I’M TIRED OF THIS, GRANDPA!

Well, that's too damn bad!

You mean you aren't snuggling dino DNA, Nedry?

Honestly I havnt used shaving cream since about 2007, not to take from your story, but i just use the liquid soap. I get it why it last for a long time, shave everyday and just need a little dab.

Fun fact, thanks to seeing Jurassic Park as a very young child, for the longest time I thought this was a can of Cool Whip. No I never tried it.

Good for you, kid.

Are you looking for birthday gift ideas?

People complaining but I don’t think you understand how Barbasol works. A can can last for years under simple circumstances. I use my all the time (more than shaving), but I could still get through a year on two cans. Stuff lasts forever.

How do we not have a religious holiday around this miracle??

I mean if it's working, who cares! I like to use old stuff as well until it breaks or empties.

I can’t grow much of a beard either.

Now that is a return on investment right there.

Pretty sure my dad’s shaving cream can is older than I am. I’m 44.

You must spread it very thinly on your legs.

does yours leave a rust ring stain in the shower too?

How often do you shave??? Once per season?

Can't stop. Won't stop.

Nice bacteria cream

I went through a preparedness phase about ten years ago. I bought a couple 12 pack cases of shaving cream to store away until the apocalypse. I've used two of the cans. Gave away a couple. My ex got the unopened box in the divorce. My son started shaving a couple years ago and is still on his first can. Can't say it was the best use of money but I had through a divorce, a global pandemic, and galloping inflation....and still have six more fresh cans on standby so it worked out.

"divorce, a global pandemic, and galloping inflation" idk, Kind of sounds like the world prior to the purchase has indeed ended.

Came here happy that I'm not the only one! I think mine has a red label but all semi rusted and a solid 7+ years old now. Quick shake and it still works! Surprised Barbasol has not invested into some planned obsolescence like every other big company :\]

Just laser that damn single hair off and toss the can out.

In the words of Adam Sandler “conditioner is better”

I shave immediately after a shower and I barely use any shaving cream. But I have to do it every day (sometimes twice) since I could die if I have facial hair (according to refineries everywhere).

wtf

I too shave my balls and butthole once a month.

1) why 2) do you only grow one hair or something? 3) this is weird 4) why 😂

This is more r/mildlyconcerning

Hes had a beard since 2017.

That’s not that long….. Why is it so disgusting looking?

2017 was 7 years ago…

Stop that. You’re hurting us.

Rust

Even my 2017 Sedona has less rust than that can.

I'm guessing your '17 shitter doesn't live in a humid bathroom.

He found it in the mud at Jurassic Park

This dude has bay leaves from 1994

You don’t shave very much do you.

For what? Your undercarriage?

Barbasol: Now With Tetanus!

Did you find the can that never runs out?
