    Each of the little umbrella spikes extends and can be inflated to become a dado. Same with the handle. Same with the little dealt at the top.

    All the dildos shoot violets.

    I call it “the confucking umbrella”

    My umbrella will be super light. It will connect on my back and blocks rain whichever the direction it’s coming from. Think Dr Oct but only one limb holding an umbrella.

    it runs its own general circulation model and predicts rain an hour before it even arrives and stays open with no option to close it until an hour passes.

    Coincidentally, it also takes a day to re-open, so once it closes, it’s not opening again.

    it automatically closes after an hour.

    It’s absolutely bananas that this would come up now, because I’m almost finished designing one in FreeCAD lol. Is it in the zeitgeist right now or something? Is it because the most recent No Kings had a yellow umbrella theme?

    Mind you, I’m very untalented at CAD, just doing it for funsies and to learn the Assembly workbench. I will upload it to ManyFold when it’s done and tested though if anyone’s interested.

    I’m hoping it’ll be sturdy enough to survive blunt impacts, and able to slow down some weaker munitions, but it’s gonna be on the heavy side. Expecting it to cost roughly $100 worth of parts. You could definitely build it WAY cheaper but I’m going all high quality.

    Unlimited budget? My tactical umbrella is capable of generating 5MW of electricity from cold nuclear fusion.

        Thankfully, being shaped like an umbrella, the design already accounts for this by directing rain away from the power output located at the base of the handle. It’s Type C!

        With my unlimited budget, I have also funded research to increase the official USB-C PD spec to a frankly irresponsible five megawatts of energy throughput.

    It’s a smart umbrella with A.I. features that will advice you on when to open your umbrella. If you find yourself in a situation where you encounter rain, and you type in “It’s raining” on the touch-handle screen, the umbrella will either tell you to open the umbrella or not open the umbrella depending on what input you give it.

        I mean I was basically gonna comment the Kingsman umbrella lol. It just makes sense. They got guns, bulletproof, video screens, they’re strong as hell, and don’t they have swords in them too?
