"World's Most Advanced Pizza Cutter"
@Dandyboi but wait there's more you can get 2 advance pizza cutters if you call now just pay extra shipping and handling
And plays music!

I really hope they also made a sawblade accessory for it to turn it into a saw
😆😂😂😂😂😂😂
Cut some teeth into a CD and there you go
If I were to publish an album I would give it a sawblade edge just for this very reason.
Просто страшно за будущее поколение. Одна пошлятина, одни маты, никакого образования у людей нет. Вы просто убиваете такими ужасными фотографиями и комментариями. Пожалуйста, удалите группу или я пишу в милицию.
Donky kong country soundtrack or whatever the dk soundtrack was that was DK's headshape.
You could use that thing as an angle grinder ! Do they do diamond tipped CDs ?
lol
Diamonds won't do much if you're only holding them in polycarbonate. The things you use diamond to cut, would go through polycarbonate like a smoothie.
I saw this footage used on a Japanese TV Show and they credited you. It was The Ninchido Show on Asahi TV.
I miss the time when tech companies were more experimental
How could you miss something that never left? I think companies experiment with things a lot. They just aren't "quirky" as they used to be.

I just realized this was uploaded in 2015, the comments are 1 day old.
Sort by top comments not new, for some reason it's by newest on this video
That’s the power of suggestion..... in this case UA-cam suggested videos
Plot twist: They miscalculated the dimensions and just went with it
Alternatively, you can put a gamecube disc in and wonder why you tried
🤣🤣
Now change out the motor for a 54x CDR drive and see how fast this thing turns into a weapon.
Another reason that they stopped making the smaller CDs was that a lot of CD players (including ones in the iMac and laptop computers) started using slot loading for the CDs and these usually wouldn't take the small CDs.
I have a limited edition small square CD (Doctor Who - Variations on a Theme). That would look cool spinning around in that player.
I love how the jack is placed dangerously underneath a spinning disc.
Surprisingly dope choice of CDs.
Put a gamecube game in it
imagine doing this with last gen 48x speed CD-ROM drives where the discs spin up to 15,000 rpm .... it'd double as table saw
Or those 56x Max drives from the 90s that could shatter discs
@@KanawhaCountyWX i think 72x was the fastest they made
@@joshuacooks the 72x drives spun slower, yet used a beam splitting method to read 7 tracks concurrently.
@@KanawhaCountyWX Encountered those "self destroying discs" quite a few times, it was funny as hell - the first time. ;-)
I want to take my High-Vision Laserdisc movies with me.
dat ending.
(7:39)
BRAVO!
I don't get it. What are you talking about?
+inYourFace just watch the whole video hahaha dont press it away before you watched it all
It's getting to be like a Marvel movie here - got to watch the end credit scenes ;)
+Andrew Mackoul I would've stopped watching because I thought the video was over!! THANK YOU for the comment!
+jugglerjim01 Even with me enjoying the main subject of the video, the very best bit was at the end! :')
Came back to this just now (12/2022). Looked it up on ebay and working versions are now over $1k and broken ones over $300. I have no doubt this is all a result of this video.
my brother got one of these and he sharpened the edge of a throwaway cd to see it of it can cut through skin and got 12 stitches.
best christmas ever he said
tf haha
Haha, nice.
That happend
Bahahahahahahahaaaaa excellent weapon
I remember seeing a custom playstation 1 with the disc hanging out in space like this
3:15 Congratulations, now you've tranformed your Discman into a Bosch angle grinder

@@FeuerfesteUnterhose sorry if i dont scroll through the comments taking notes on what to put as a comment
Sometimes I forget this gentle Englishman really loves gangsta' rap...
that ending was marvelous
I have an interview CD and the disc has been cut in the shape of the artists HEAD. I'm pretty sure with this discman and that disc you could actually KILL A MAN.
The thing you have is called a shape-CD.
Here is a picture of a german 90s shape-CD in the shape of a mother****ing circular sawblade.

@@user-pc5sc7zi9j Combine that with the D-88, and you have a portable weapon.
I finally saw it are you happy now UA-cam?!
No
Same
This is a great torture device.
Not actually cutting someone with the disc edge, but playing that exact CD and flicking it repeatedly. Nobody can resist this torture.
haha
everybody gangsta till the CD player turned into pizza cutter
Wow, a quick search turned up a working one for almost a thousand dollars and many listings for replacement gears and cogs. Also a couple of listings for branded cases costing around $140.00.
Even a handmade control unit.
This has to be the most unsafe design for playing CDs
I have a small upright player from the Science Museum which plays partially exposed CDs
no, that would be 56x cd-rom drives. They can make cds spin so fast they detonate and send sharapnel flying at over 162 miles per hour
@@virtualtools_3021 I used to have a 72 speed cd drive, the noise it made at full pelt was terrifying. It died when a label got detached from a cd and the cd shattered inside the drive wrecking the lens. No shrapnel got out though, so theres that.....
This man coulda picked any genre of music.. any artist... any era... and he picks the chronic.. lmao I'm subscribing just cause of that!! Keep up the good work man!!!
And some Sugar Hill Gang
i liked the mental breakdown at the end
Does Sony have a MP3 player that has half of the MP3 hanging out?
I suppose any device that streams media counts, how many hard drives and discs would it take to replace a Netflix/iPlayer and iTunes/Rdio account?
yes its called the mp1.5
+Movie Games well, my samsung does. Its storage has no statable size capacity. When I paste too many songs into it, they get overwritten and chopped off.
lol
+freeNode5 you have been ripped off with your phone or your sd card
0:31 This hurts...
i could use this to cut pizza
Sharpen the edges of the CD and you've got a nice weapon
No gira tan fuerte incluso con tu dedo podrías detener un CD seguramente cuando roce tu piel se detiene tenía un sistema que detectaba cuerpos y se detenia
@@fabriciofranco16 ok boomer
Not sure why YT suddenly recommended a 4 year old video to everyone but it earned you at least one sub
I have 12 YEAR old videos show in my recommended.
I saw this video in 2017, and now youtube is recommending it to me again saying I didnt watch it!
Im not complaining tho
The puppet outro is my favourite part, and I like these videos quite a lot
Attach 2 discmen to your shoes and play a album
You made roller skates
They were SO CLOSE to a great idea with this thing. If only memory buffers for skip protection could've been put into them, this might have worked out as a fun purchase to have as a conversation piece.
Everybody else: oh cool! A tiny CD player!
Me: *s a w*
I was thinking pizza cutter lol
Sharpen the edge of the CD!
3:04 The way you held that disc triggered me.
they’re not that fragile
Wait, it skips? *Damn it!*
So you're telling me I *can't* listen to my beats while chopping people up with a spinning disc?
...
I made the comment before getting to the 6:58 mark and OwO.
The compact Sony angle grinder.
Never expected this kind of music from him
I absolutely love your collection of old school hip hop cds
I have an old trick that might help with the "sensitivity to bumps" problem. When you turn it off and store it, place it face down. I used to repair CD players and noticed the flexible white carriage that held the lens would sometimes start to sag under the effect of gravity. Storing it upside down when not in use would sometimes use gravity to pull the carriage back and relieve some of the sagging. The sagging would cause the focusing coils to work harder.
Thanks for the tip I'm going to try that on my portable CD player
why the hell is the comment section on this video defaulting to newest first
As a UA-camr you can set the default option
Panik?
@@couldntmixapotnoodle nope
The puppets were the best part. They should be featured in all your videos!
Side Thought: This video is from 2015!?! Why does it seem like it's only been popping up in people's recommendations in the past few weeks? Wth UA-cam?!
I just noticed, the Single CDs are the same size as a Gamecube disc.
Portable electric saw
It looks cool, but half the benefit of portable cd players like that was walking around with it in your hand, or in your pocket, so couldn't really do that with this design.
The engineering of this machine is amazing.
"That repeat-button no one ever uses"
Do you even remember Outcast releasing "Hey Ya" Techmoan?

The bonus material at the end was fabulous. LOL
I can just see tech moan rolling around England blasting Dr Dre and D12 lol
God I'd love to see that.
The D-88: Functions as both a CD player and a small circular saw!
Imagine trying to get this through airport security nowadays...
That be a fun conversation starter though people will be pretty curious for sure
You totally could use that discman as a portable weapon.
In case of Zombie Apocalypse
yeah as a circular saw.
you could also use a sharp pencil. Much more practical.
I love the puppet sketch at the end. So true to life!
To me, this just looks like a great way to scratch or snap your CDs. I guess it could’ve been kinda stylish as a home CD player if you couldn’t afford a full-blown stereo...
It comes with an included rotary saw to cut a hole in your pocket for it to fit
its not just a discman, its also a self defense weapon
Firewolf Yes
Firewolf Like a saw blade cutter.
Wow everyone's passing thru some weird times,comenting on this 2015 video on january 21st 2020 at 4:23 am, you are not alone my friends

Use it as a saw and cut paper
@@uhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh0 yeah, true.
This video is 5 years old but the comments are from few days ago
Oh. Hi mark

This is what I love about old tech. The creative ways they found to solve problems. Instead of stopping at the idea of a device the size of a CD, they went further and made it smaller for small CD's. but instead of stopping there thought "what if we make it compatible to normals CD's" and found THIS solution. Its fucking genius. Generally, with almost all old tech, I love finding out the creative ways of making things work, by simply thinking outside a box no one knew existed.
knew it was the chronic 2001 album as soon as I saw that shade of green.
🤯 omg
So a portable player which cant be used on the go. What a brilliant idea.
it's looks like a portable chainsaw
Is it weird to get this 4 yr old vid recommendation when bored out of your mind at home
I remember when it came out .. everyone at school called it “the saw man”
I like your taste in music, mate.
I like this just because of how easy it would be to make this into the best murder weapon ever...
?
He's talking about putting a blade the size of a CD in there, smart one.
Except for the fact that barely touching the disk (blade) would slow it tremendously!
When I was a kid in the 90's, i imagined a discman that had an exposed disc spinning, maybe I saw a picture of it but I've always remembered that detail.
Once you start listening to music cds on a discmen there's no going back Can't stand My phone for music awful.
As is often the case with things Japanese that don't make a lot of sense to other markets, 8cm CD singles were really popular there, so it wouldn't have been unusual for a contemporary Japanese person to have a large library of them and who would enjoy the tiny D-88 for playing their collection.
On a related note, I have an odd JVC portable CD player (full size though) that has "OPEN TOP PLAY" emblazoned on the top cover and indeed you can run the unit with the top open. Not sure why you'd want to, and for some reason it stops playback if the lid is opened or closed during play so you'd need to position the cover before initiating playback, but it was still a unique machine.
now make a laserdisc with that design
Then slice some ham
Inserts a GameCube disc inside the Player..*
can't help but notice your classic hiphop CD collection there.. nice assortment! Great music.
This Discman was the coolest Weapon on the schoolyard
"never bought a single CD" *looks at GameCube disc*
TheRedstoneVillager exactly
Sliding the battery pack on reminds me of the joycons and the switch
I remember these (never owned one though). They had lots of issues, simply due to the fact that dust, sand, dog/cat hair, ... being pulled into the device when playing. It looked cool, but that was about it.
Great informative video as always. Love the little "note" at the end. LOL
Cheers!
Finally I can listen to my favourite tunes and cut things in the same product
Its second function is a mechanised pizza slicer.
I was thinking that
If you added a 12cm CD sized blade it could probably double as a weapon.
*CAN CD CUT THROUGH ROCK???!!!*
Cyan you *can* edit comments, you know?
*uses disc man as a weapon*
I got the album correct without hearing it, the green and black CD Just gave it away
Right. The 2001 album is one someone cant mistake
Sony Automated Pizza Cutter
And the crazy thing is if you buy a PC DVD drive today the tray will still have a lowered circular part of the tray for a 3" CD.
The ending is fantastic. Spot on.
The sony minidisc players were way ahead of its time and it was awesome
Back sometime in the 1980s, Sony came out with a Walkman cassette player that was smaller than the cassette (it was after the WM-10). A two-page magazine ad showed a photo of the cassette case for Simon & Garfunkel's Greatest Hits on the left page with the headline, "Sony invent the world's smallest personal hi-fi." On the right page was a photo of a hand taking the case away to reveal the Walkman, with the headline, "Sorry, the cassette was in the way." I wonder which one it was? 🙂
Possibly the WM-F10 or WM-20? There were quite a few of the folding ones like the WM-10
This is exactly why i am subscribed to this channel! I love these videos about old "hifi" stuff! :)
this isn't the first time I got a glimpse of your classic hip hop collection, good stuff
The real flaw of the exposed disc is it means you need to carry a case for your CD you cant just throw the cd player in your jacket and go
The cd can also get scratched so that’s not good
not mentioned is that you can also use it as a dremel
