What a shame that was an April Fools' prank... probably. They don't say it, but the video was released on March 31st 2019.

Why would he think that dropping electronics would be the best way to demonstrate the lack of a wire, though? 😬🤦

A computer mouse pluralised is technically mouses, but mice is accepted due to commonality.

I'll be around with more useless shit no one asked for but may find mildly, mildly, interesting.

[–] bizarrocullen@lemmy.world 37 points 1 year ago (2 children)

I'll be long dead in the ground before I use the word 'mouses'.

[–] Sotuanduso@lemm.ee 17 points 1 year ago

On this day we remember the life of bizarrocullen, who has used the word 'mouses' and died just hours ago.

[–] aport@programming.dev 20 points 1 year ago

I can't argue with this

[–] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 18 points 1 year ago (2 children)

Ok, now tell me what animal my trackball is.

[–] Valthorn@feddit.nu 19 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Armadillo or hedgehog probably.

[–] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 6 points 1 year ago

That works.

[–] CerealKiller01@lemmy.world 8 points 1 year ago

I have an elecom huge at work, and when somebdy asks me what kind of mouse is this, I say it's not a mouse, it's a rat.

[–] Patariki@feddit.nl 16 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Why stop there? Let's rename the mouse buttons to mouse/hamster buttocks.

[–] FooBarrington@lemmy.world 6 points 1 year ago (2 children)

What is the scroll wheel then? Mouse cock?

[–] Kecessa@sh.itjust.works 6 points 1 year ago (1 children)

You guys don't call it the clit already?

[–] FooBarrington@lemmy.world 12 points 1 year ago (2 children)

No, that's the red-ish circular thingy on top that you press on and slightly move your fingers for great effect.

I miss my old ThinkPad.

[–] surewhynotlem@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago

old ThinkPad

I also call my ex this

[–] Agent641@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

My lenovo still has red clitmouse

[–] AngryCommieKender@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago

Something, something, mouse balls

[–] Viking_Hippie@lemmy.world 15 points 1 year ago (1 children)

As a bonus, "Xhamster" finally makes sense as a porn site name! I think.. 🤔

[–] lemann@lemmy.one 6 points 1 year ago (2 children)

What was the reasoning behind that name anyway, sounds a bit "hmmm" thinking about it now lol

[–] kemsat@lemmy.world 8 points 1 year ago

The cheek-filling power of hamsters?

[–] Viking_Hippie@lemmy.world 7 points 1 year ago

Yeah, now that you mention it, I think I'd prefer not to know 😄

[–] HotDogFingies@kbin.social 14 points 1 year ago

My vocabulary has forever been altered.

[–] MartinXYZ@sh.itjust.works 12 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

Brilliant! We'll call the scroll wheel "the hamster wheel"!

[–] samus12345@lemmy.world 10 points 1 year ago (2 children)

This had me wondering what the first mouse I ever used looked like as it was so long ago I don't remember, and it was this:

Makes me feel ancient. Still, it's better than the very first mouse from 1964, which looks like something from Fallout:

[–] Agent641@lemmy.world 5 points 1 year ago

Second pic is peak ergonomics

[–] Patches@sh.itjust.works 2 points 1 year ago

Back in the days when you asked someone to move the mouse to the button, and they picked that shit up off the desk 🤣.

[–] over_clox@lemmy.world 10 points 1 year ago (1 children)

People look at me weird when I turn the mouse upside down and rub it's balls.

[–] dukk@programming.dev 2 points 1 year ago

Sometimes you gotta tickle its balls to wake it up.

[–] cjsolx@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago

I prefer lemming

[–] RIP_Cheems@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago

If you do that, I'm making a mouse company named hampter.

When I was a kid I had pet hamsters and killed them by mistake trying to spray the ants that invaded their cage because I didn't clean it. Now as an adult I kill mice on purpose. Just thought I'd mention that.
