That's it.
Rule 5- No baiting or sealioning or promoting an agenda.
Posts and comments which, instead of being of an innocuous nature, are specifically intended (based on reports and in the opinion of our crack moderation team) to bait users into ideological wars on charged political topics will be removed and the authors warned - or banned - depending on severity.

Well you're supposed to, does every place with a ball pit wash them? Ehhhhh...
Not at Dashcon.
I think dashcon could have just used a large sink.
I doubt many places do.
Only a true connoisseur can handle the vomit and piss of a never-washed ball pit.
That is impressive, but it seems a bit excessive as I only have two.
You're not the only one that needs a wash around here
Line em up boys!
Yeah but you can wash them 20k times in an hour!
Any more than three times counts as masturbation.
Serious question: does this machine have a mechanism for ensuring that multiple user's balls don't touch?
The UV light is probably useless if it shines a few seconds only on those balls. The disinfectant wash by its own is probably enough.
The UV feature is probably an upgrade, lying about which is no-doubt how the sales guy makes his quarterly bonus.
I just don't trust UV sanitizers, there's just no way you can make me believe that a pile of shit is sanitary just because you shined a light on it
idk I'm sure it does something but I just don't trust it
Well, if you want it meme speak, it's spicy light. But it needs to shine a long time before it reliably does anything. Hours, not seconds.
Just like your mom
Are there 19,999 other guys who wanna get their balls washed with me?
"Sir, I'm not sure how exactly you managed to have this happen, but the pathology lab says that those are ultraviolet-C light burns on your scrotum."
Everyone needs to go tip to tip so the ball washing machine can reach its optimal potential. It’s a middle-out algorithm.
This makes me wonder how many people out of 20,000 would potentially only have 1 ball. Or none
Your mom is a ball washing machine
Thank you kind sir, I came here to say this.
Ballin'
I had no reference for what that was, I picked one random ball pit calculator and it said that for a 1m³ pit I need around 2800 balls. So 40k balls is around 14m³? Not bad.
It would take a week to clean an olympic pool size ball pit.
The balls will be fastly sucked into the machine
Beavis, your balls are filthy.
Just a FYI: You linked to the last two seconds of the video.
for me it's just a link to the same post, and of course I clicked 10 times before realising that
I think I fixed it. Thanks.
Instructions unclear, what to do after the machine has your balls?
