Do not DIY: Use homemade web shooters to swing through the grocery store
I used to hate grocery shopping. It was an expensive, tedious endeavor that I used to put off until nothing was left in my refrigerator except a tub of expired sour cream. Now, however, I look forward to my weekly trip to the grocery store. Every excursion is like a video game where you scavenge for necessities while dodging the infected. But what if you could swing through the aisles like Spider-Man, avoiding all the other shoppers and completing your list in record time? Now you can. In a recent video, YouTuber the Hacksmith demonstrates how to build Spider-Man’s iconic web shooters. Please, don’t try this at home.
