Is it a "Heavy Duty Gas Canister and Propane Tank Keychain Pendant with Precision Hole Puncher"?
You're right but I'm not sure I could give you this one because by the way you phrased that I'm suspicious that you reverse image searched it.
I actually have one of these stowed away in my camping gear but I didn't know what it was called, so I looked for one on the Walmart. I'll dig it out this weekend for proof. It's hella beat up and everything.
It's not like I'd really be mad about it even if you had. If you didn't realize it was a game that would mean you're seeing it for the first time which would mean I'm meeting my actual goal which is to increase traffic and engagement on fedi as a whole, but especially a really useful comm that's gonna help a lot of people but that functions best with a large volume of eyes to increase the odds that someone knows what something is.
TLDR - that's cool, but mostly I'm just glad you're here!
But it would be pretty cool if he showed proof!

I'm curious what your search terms were if you didn't know what it was called...
Found Hank Hill
What’s the scale? Could be a carrying case for the Earth and Moon for all I know…
Yeah I had to make these a little harder because people were guessing them too quickly. I actually also edited the makers mark out of this one because it was "CampingMoon" and I figured that would also make it too easy.
Multi-purpose adjustable circumcision tool?
10 points for the humor, lol
I know I’ve seen them in REI with camping stoves, but I’m not exactly sure what it is. I’m curious if the bottom is threaded.
My guess would be to pull the valve so you can safely dispose of the caniater
It says it's actually to puncture it, but yes. Was gonna see if someone got closer and somebody did but by the way they phrased their answer they might've reverse image searched it so you're at least a runner up if not the actual winner.
Well where’s the fun in that? lol
I'm not like, mad at the people who do it. A lot of people don't realize it's a game. Honestly the fact that people are seeing these and don't know it's a game means they're seeing it for the first time which means I'm attracting new people to the comm, which means I'm actually meeting my real goal; I'm trying to increase traffic and engagement on a really useful comm that's gonna help both the individuals who need help with things as well as increasing traffic and engagement in fedi as a whole so... Task failed successfully? 😅 Edit: although it looks like maybe they didn't?
Good point and sound perspective. I’ll keep that in mind next time I see a copy/paste guess. Really fun idea for a community, btw!
