Abstract:
A homemade gaming seat "Battle Bucket" that became popular on TikTok in 2023 recently appeared on the second-hand market for $500, once again triggering heated discussions on the Internet.
The device consists of a folding chair with a hollowed-out seat, an orange bucket underneath, and an external urinary pipe. The creator once said, "This is the secret that I can play "Fortnite" for so long without going to the toilet." Although the original video has been deleted, it continues to spread through reposts.
According to the product description, the seller claims that the "battle barrel" is several years old and "used almost every day," but is "thoroughly cleaned and fully functional." The seller also stressed that only serious bids would be accepted, writing: "Don't bargain, I know what it's worth."
It's unclear whether the item is actually for sale or is just a spoof of an old picture. However, Internet users have begun to examine its design from an engineering perspective, questioning that the location of the urinary catheter interface is too low, which will cause the liquid in the bucket to backflow.
This incident also triggered a humorous response from the British e-sports event organizer EPIC.LAN, saying that it would "add it to the list of prohibited items for LAN events." Other netizens ridiculed the seller for selling the chair before the release of "GTA6".
