Antique Baby Yeeter

We are selling our baby trebuchet. We only used it a couple of times. PM me for a quote. pic.twitter.com/uJnf0TLDsM

Mr. Tunguz no longer needs the baby yeeter, as he has completed this stage of parenting. Nonetheless, he labels the device incorrectly. Twitter used to have a community note attached to this post:

Trebuchet aficianados (of which there are many) will sigh in exasperation and explain how any mechanical device that thows an object in a parabolic trajectory is not automatically a trebuchet.

Many jokes fill the Twitter thread, which I encourage you to read in full.

troll booth that 'Safe baby handling tips' was too funny. It reminds me of the holiday joke boxes that had fake advertising them with ads like gerbil like water bottle feeders for babies and as a bonus you get the weekender stew in a bag to teach baby how to chew food so you can take weekend vacations while leaving baby at home or Bacon scented fabric softener sheets. That one is surprisingly popular. Thanks for the laughs!

Doesn't really look like it'd get much distance. 1 star.
Reminds me of the Safe Baby Handling Tips.

That is a very cool baby rocker, and it keeps the baby's head up which especially useful when it's sick. Need to replace that missing piece though.

Wish I'd had that thing when the neighbor's baby started squalling. Actually, I could see kids launching their dolls across the room but please hide the puppies and kittens! FYI a seat belt would be pretty handy with this thing.
