Did you know that sculpting planes out of old cans is a thing that people like to do?
Did you know I am really bad at it?
Thanks to the randomizer you now know both of these things.
Fresca! The best material to make planes.
GOD I NEED MORE PLANESTUFF.
Flatten those can dudes out, and glue them flat with a hot glue gun.
Glue them three wide.
Cut out a wing stencil. I wanted mine to resemble a Spitfire's wings.
Trace the stencil with an eraseable marker.
Cut it out with scissors.
Cram it across the body of the can.
Looks awful. Rios beat me by 2 minutes. fuck you rios.

Soda bottle light
Alright so i'm sure everyone has heard of these, how people in poor countries use 2 liter bottles with water and bleach in them to make free skylights. I decided that this would be a fun and easy thing to do.
First I bought a pizza, bread sticks, and a two liter from pizza hut.
I ate all of it while watching 3 episodes of the league, and once I pulled myself out of the resulting shame spiral, I was ready to go.
After filling the 2 liter with water
I then used a piece of cardboard and a box cutter to make a hole in the cardboard to stick the bottle through. I figured I would make about 1/4th or a 1/3rd of it stick through the top so I cut a hole that was slightly too small for it and jammed it through.
I decided the best thing was to make a fake "house" out of a box, and use the piece of cardboard as a roof, so I could still use the flaps to completely close the box for comparison purposes.
I made a dumb door in the side of the box so I could look in without really letting any light in:
Now the last step was to put about 2 caps full of bleach in the water, my guess would be that its to keep the water clear and kill bacteria in the water.
It actually worked better than I expected:
With soda light:
Tilted toward the sun
Tilted without the soda light
Overall it's a pretty cool idea, and more effective than I thought it would have been. It really would be pretty great for people who cant afford much electricity in poorer countries or hobos I guess.
