This bench needs just one accessory

[–] vapeloki@lemmy.world 16 points 7 months ago (4 children)

Not sure if sex toy or tool

[–] TotallyNotSpez@lemm.ee 14 points 7 months ago

¿Por qué no los dos?”

I was in a hair metal band called Sex Tool. We were disturbingly successful in the 80s.

Sex toy. I am the tool

Most of them, you can remove the bars with an Allen wrench.

Not that I would know anything about that.

Unfortunately, they're making benches now with the tubing welded on.

Honestly, get three dudes out there. Put them in HiVis and give one a clipboard and one an angle grinder? No one would even bat an eye.

Is it anti homeless or designed to stop you from rolling off while sleeping?

Keeps you on the bench and also ensures that your blanket (or cardboard or even newspapers...) stays where it belongs even in strong winds.

There was a guy going around St. Louis giving out wrenches to homeless people to remove them, and there was a guy going around Seattle just removing them himself. IDK if the sentiment has spread to other cities, I can only speak about the places I have lived and seen news reports about this.

Can it really be considered vandalism if you improve public property?

I don't see this as anti-homless, just anti-fat homeless. It looks big enough that an average person could just lay inside the rings of the arm rests.

Put your blankets over them and make a little tunnel fort.

They already beat you to this. Look at the difference between the closest and second closest rungs. One is much squatter than the other. Which is also just shit for sitting, having two different height arm rests sucks if you have chronic pain. Because yeah otherwise you could probably make a decent swag out of it.

[–] Schlecknits@feddit.de 27 points 7 months ago

High visbility vest and a socket set should do the trick.

[–] outer_spec@lemmy.blahaj.zone 1 points 7 months ago

Just slide your body in between the arm rests, dumbass
