Came across this oddity amongst other stock images that were a bit less of a fail, although still advertising a somewhat shady product.

Actually I might use that when the next semi-skilled manager asks why the battery level display is so hard to get accurate.

Either the biggest magnetic stirrer of all time or extremly tiny hands....

You can stir a 5 gal pail with that!  I want to see the magnet it comes with.  :-DD

Yes I looked at this stirrer and many others. It seems most of them are stirring this mysterious blue liquid. I want to know what it is.
I told my friends I could teach them to be funny, but they all just laughed at me.

Why?

Because it's clearly fake and they don't want the manufacturer they wrote on it coming after them?

I was going to say infrared, but you could be right.

Not electronic, but I spotted this on the Sydney Water website earlier this week. Does anyone else see that and wonder what the narrative here is?

Plumber: This is a tap. When you turn it on, water comes out of this bit.
Female: But how does the water get in there?

Perhaps he's pointing out a flow restriction device (different to an aerator).  I had the same face as her when I discovered one hidden inside the tip of the kitchen tap at one of my old workplaces.  I removed it and almost everyone was happy because it now gave more than a dribble.

One coworker didn't notice, admitted "oh I just got used to filling my glass in the bathroom"  ;)

With sufficient force you may manage to insert them eventually and as a bonus you get a volume limiter for your PC when they are fully inserted.

I thought that too, so went looking, that's when I came across that wondrous piece of prose.

Now I can't stop thinking about my tiny golden tip glowing softly awaiting activation.
