Is it where you search? Is it where you submit blackmail? What sort of comments go in there? Find out in this week's edition of Gizmodo's Tips Box (http://gizmodo.com/tag/gizmodostipsbox).
Of course tips aren't the only thing you can submit through that box since it leads you to the wonderful land of tag pages (http://gizmodo.com/5465437/almost-everything-you-could-want-to-know-about-commenting), but let's focus on the hot-hot-hot tips that came in through it this week, shall we?
We got introduced to something oddly tasty looking called the BatterBlaster (http://gizmodo.com/comment/19968615) by mhsrebelguy06 (http://gizmodo.com/people/mhsrebelguy06/). (Warning; Some sound plays automatically on the linked site.) Speaking of mhsrebelguy06 (http://gizmodo.com/people/mhsrebelguy06/), he also taught us about how women are amazing firewalls (http://gizmodo.com/comment/19967753).
We also got to see a neat infographic (http://gizmodo.com/comment/19893135) shared by dfp3050 (http://gizmodo.com/people/dfp3050/) that breaks down spending and religious beliefs.
Our dear otko (http://gizmodo.com/people/otko/) decided to be funny and give us a $5 tip (http://gizmodo.com/comment/19945409). (I haven't received a check yet, buddy!)
CrispyAardvark (http://gizmodo.com/people/CrispyAardvark/) has found (http://gizmodo.com/comment/19907254) some rather neat Lego models by 15-year-old Sven Junga (http://www.flickr.com/photos/31194766@N08/):
ochee_ (http://gizmodo.com/people/ochee_/) found weird contraptions that made me want to hug all the world's children and promise them that I won't ever shove them into one of these torture devices disguised as freaky art (http://gizmodo.com/comment/19832211):
Oh, and this week there were a ton of videos dropped into #tips (http://gizmodo.com/tag/tips/). Here are a few amusing-yet-far-too-weird ones:
That's some of the craziness that we've sifted through this week, but we encourage you to add to it—both silly things and serious tips.
We're proud of our comment system (http://gizmodo.com/5465437/almost-everything-you-could-want-to-know-about-commenting) and commenter community. In fact, many of our posts come from items submitted to our #tips (http://gizmodo.com/tag/tips/) box. Gizmodo's Tips Box (http://gizmodo.com/tag/gizmodostipsbox) is a regular feature to show the funny, scary, and freaky things we just couldn't post, but want to share.
