[–]Uncle_Sammy 601 points602 points ago

Except it blocks both fucking outlets.

[–]iamnotatroll 388 points389 points ago

It's a fucking fifty dollar faucet figured night light. I think practicality was thrown out the window the moment it was purchased.

[–]LiberalJewMan 98 points99 points ago

Yeesh, 200 shekels for a night light. I'd at least get them down to 150.

Does the knob at least dim the light?

[–]potatotickle 123 points124 points ago

My knob always dims the light.

[–]shaunre 24 points25 points ago

I'd eat a knob at night

[–]fe3o4 4 points5 points ago

if you pollish it first you may have more to eat.

[–]AVCHD 2 points3 points ago

ead of a fuckin orange.

[–]SweetNeo85 10 points11 points ago

is... is that supposed to make sense somehow?

[–]batrug 31 points32 points ago

clap light dims when he faps.

[–]Polycube 6 points7 points ago

I was thinking more of when his girlfriend/wife sees his penis, it's time for sex and the lights dim.

Edit: I like yours better

[–]recneps100 11 points12 points ago

No...it's so big, when he whips it out the room goes dark.

[–]shiftius[!] 8 points9 points ago

Clearly his knob is so big it blocks out the sun.

[–]SweetNeo85 11 points12 points ago

Then he will fap in the shade?

[–]SaysHeWantsToDoYou 47 points48 points ago

Am I the only one here going to think this through a bit and decide that a "night light" is probably in a child's room and there's likely to be an outlet blocker in the other one anyways? You really don't want a cord coming out of the outlet a child is likely to handle.

[–]fiercelyfriendly 37 points38 points ago

Frankly if this was going in a child's room, I would worry about my child being totally confused about the nature of liquids, electricity, valves, taps (faucets), and what comes out of what when you turn things on.

[–]Sophismistic 102 points103 points ago

You can also talk to your kid. Its a pretty important part of parenthood. They're also normally pretty inquisitive and might point out to you that something is strange or different about their nightight. Were you raised by wolves, or deaf-mutes?

[–]fiercelyfriendly 56 points57 points ago

I was raised by rabid aardvarks actually, they knew nothing of the mysteries of electricity.

[–]Smithburg01 41 points42 points ago

But when it comes to being alphabetical, they're the first on that shit

[–]Vark675 2 points3 points ago

Well hello there.

[–]fiercelyfriendly 3 points4 points ago

D...d.. da....da....

Mom?

[–]SaysHeWantsToDoYou 9 points10 points ago

This hardly seems like a situation where there could be disaster. The kid's going to turn on the hose faucet and expect light to come out? So what? What's the issue? You're not installing a hose fixture in a place there shouldn't be one are you? If you're worried your kid is going to come to you with questions, in the words of Loius, deal with it...it's your shitty kid.

[–]DeLoreanMotorCars 16 points17 points ago

Yea, if your child is a dumbass. I think most kids could grasp that this is a novelty.

[–]Twaddles 20 points21 points ago

Not allowed to call the child a dumbass. The child is "challenged".

[–]dand11587 23 points24 points ago

ahem, it is "alternatively intelligent" now.

[–]ManicMess 17 points18 points ago

is that why the top outlet looks so darned frightened?

[–]moeshapoppins 5 points6 points ago

Maybe I don't have enough stuff but I have empty sockets in my house that I'm not using. I can think of a few that I could use this in and not have an issue.

[–]DevoidAndroid 18 points19 points ago

maybe a small extension cord or surge protector ? Idk looks like it still might get in the way...

why the hell am I overanalyzing an electrical outlet on the internet?...

[–]Neebat 7 points8 points ago

You're probably at work, bored, looking at random shit on the internet and thinking, maybe responding would be mildly more interesting than just reading things.

I know that's the reason I replied.

TIL how to make tiny letters on Reddit. Thanks!

[–]MarcusAuralius 5 points6 points ago

The top outlet looks horrified over this.

[–]Armpit-Vagina 9 points10 points ago

Wtf, calm down. No it really doesn't. Unless you want to stick one of those big lumpy cords with the three prongs in the other outlet, it looks like you can fit most plugs in that space. My phone charger, for example, would fit fine.

Or you could put the lamp in the top outlet. It's not that big of a deal.

[–]ODBrunizz 5 points6 points ago

Nevermind that you're touching a metal surface that looks like it's directly connected to the outlet itself

[–]bdeze 10 points11 points ago

Put it in the top outlet.

[–]ohmyword 37 points38 points ago

looks like the "drip" could interfere with the bottom one as well.

[–]daimposter 8 points9 points ago

Does anybody here not have extension cords with wires that bend??

[–]bdeze 11 points12 points ago

Good call.

[–]ilikeapples2 40 points41 points ago

[–]bucketofscum 3 points4 points ago

The best power strips have flat 90° plugs that would not interfere.

[–]Fireach 73 points74 points ago

[–]EatUranium 10 points11 points ago

Ah shit. Thanks for reminding me - I forgot to turn my bandsaw off.

[–]El_Weasel 6 points7 points ago

Part of me thought maybe, just maybe, this would be the top comment, but I guess that show's not as big as I thought/ as it ought to be.

Either that plastic looks amazingly like metal or someone really dropped the ball on this one

[–]jeremy 16 points17 points ago

I don't understand - is it common in the US for appliances not to be earthed, or the earth pin to not be wired into a suitable RCD-protected circuit?

[–]Fuckin_Hipster 57 points58 points ago

Your country has silly words.

[–]GLneo 2 points3 points ago

I have an outlet in my house that I am too lazy to fix where the ground is wired to hot, don't use that outlet very much...

[–]fe3o4 2 points3 points ago

hopefully nobody else will either.

It depends on how you visualize it....

to me it looks like his face and that faucet is where he is relieving himself and he is shocked at how slow his flow rate is... shhh just between us I think he has a prostate problem.

[–]teknoire7 34 points35 points ago

The bot you replied to just repeats the top comment from the last time this picture was posted.

[–]IamTypingWithOneHand 10 points11 points ago

Funny how everyone was hating on bots that steal top comments from previous threads.

Now all he had to do was come up with a fitting username and he can get away with it.

[–]jacob_w 18 points19 points ago

The real question is, Does twisting the knob (or whatever it's called) turn the light on and off?

[–]TheRealBigLou 36 points37 points ago

It's a valve.

[–]tneu93 13 points14 points ago

Answer the question.

[–]frickindeal 13 points14 points ago

More specifically, it's a spigot.

[–]surprisepinkmist 19 points20 points ago

Or sill cock, if you like to use dirty words.

[–]TheRealBigLou 4 points5 points ago

The assembly is a spigot. The turny knob thing is a valve.

[–]frickindeal 15 points16 points ago

That's the handle. The whole thing is a form of valve, specifically referred to as a spigot. There are many types of valves.

[–]raging_asshole 6 points7 points ago

No, the knob is a knob.

The interior which would control the flow of liquid is the valve.

[–]Wet_Walrus 7 points8 points ago

This is a unique creation that I designed and built from an idea I had as a kid. It's a standard 3/4" brass sillcock, converted into a night light. Turning the valve actually turns on the 1/4 watt LED bulb in the hanging drop of "water".

[–]signing_to_say_this 16 points17 points ago

So Reddit sometimes turns into Pinterest.

[–]DesignerGenes 3 points4 points ago

But you've forgotten to turn off the poison sockets.

[–]splorkchop 61 points62 points ago

yes, a large piece of bare metal sticking out of an electrical socket is a great idea.

[–]Mugros 38 points39 points ago

connect it to ground and nothing will happen.

[–]eyereport 45 points46 points ago

I dug a hole and buried it. You were right. Nothing happened.

WHY WON'T THIS THING WORK?

[–]GLneo 0 points1 point ago

Unless the ground is faulty like in about 54%* of american homes.

*Like 89% of statistics, made up on the spot.

[–]Suppafly 10 points11 points ago

Yeah I don't think I'd be plugging any non-UL listed appliances in at my house, especially not ones with metal bodies. That is just asking for someone to get shocked and/or for your house to burn down.

[–]justapunkrocksong 9 points10 points ago

Maybe it's three prong and the body is connected to ground?

[–]Suppafly 2 points3 points ago

It's still a disaster waiting to happen.

[–]Fuckin_Hipster 4 points5 points ago

Surely this is the case; but if you don't know things, things are scary.

[–]splorkchop 9 points10 points ago

Never assume an uncertified electrical device is safe. I recently purchased a custom made power supply from a specialty electronics manufacturer that was not properly grounded. Most custom made and low-volume electrical devices are not UL-tested, however the better manufacturers still design things safely. The power supply I purchased had a metal case and a grounded IEC connector, but the case was not grounded and the internal socket connectors were milliliters from the edge of the case.

[–]msca4069 3 points4 points ago

I was going to mention this exact thing. I'm surprised no one even mentioned it sooner. There is no way that is UL listed. Although it looks cool I would never use it for this reason. It's just not a good idea.

[–]OneSilentE 9 points10 points ago

I really doubt it's metal

[–]splorkchop 33 points34 points ago

according to the etsy page it's a real brass faucet.

[–]withtwors 12 points13 points ago

Not only that, here's part of the disclaimer by the maker-

These are basically prototypes and are a little bit fragile. Everything in them has been modified to fit and to get the look I wanted. I've never had one break, but I also don't let my kids play with them. Also, they are home made and they are electric, which means they aren't U.L. listed and come with no guarantees or insurance other than the knowledge that I always have at least one running in my house and have given them out to friends and family for years with no concerns or trouble.

Etsy listing

[–]Suppafly 9 points10 points ago

Etsy should block these kinds of sales, they are just asking for a lawsuit at some point down the road.

[–]Katana622 0 points1 point ago

In my experience, every single nightlight can be seen as an unholy demon of undeath when it gets dark and its the only thing a kid can see in his room. I much preferred the basic nightlights that were unmistakably just a bulb.

[–]ILOVEGLADOS 0 points1 point ago

The plug above it doesn't look to happy about it...

[–]fdtc_skolar 1 point2 points ago

Wouldn't work in my house. When I replace outlets, I put the ground up. That way, if the plug is not in all the way and something falls on it, it hits the ground prong rather than an energized prong.
