First we has the Flesh Light. Then we broke the mold with the Vajankle. Now we have cracked the code with the VaGC!
I think it was in an episode of Mindhunters when they’re speaking with Ed Kemper or someone, and he talks about cutting his mom’s head off and having sex with her neck.
I had to look up what in the world a vajankle was, and I thought, “that’s some serial killer shit.” I don’t even mean that in a kink shaming kind of way, that line from Kemper was just the first thing that popped into my mind… but thank you, I guess; now I know that’s something that exists.
Terrible ideas:
- Garden hose
- NEMA 10-50 - each “prong” could be a different connector
- CCS
- USB-A
- Quick-connect air coupler
The first one reminds me of this classic
V.35 or IEEE-488
Side note, does anyone know some sort of cable sleeve similar to this that instead grabs onto the device and stabilizes the port?
As much as I like type-C, the ports on my laptop have worn down significantly and aren’t always stable
Yes, but they typically require that the side on the laptop is also prepared for it. Look for example how the usb ports on toughbooks look. They have a screw next to them.
Personally I have the opinion that usb-c should be a connector for mobile devices only and there should be something with the size of a type a or b for stationary stuff. The size makes the connector too flimsy
You can use some of that heat shrink wire wrap to create a stiff cable where you want and how big
One of those big old audio jacks. Bonus points for use of metal and leaving a good chunk of it ‘sticking out’.
Make it look like an old Apple 30-pin.
That could actually be one of the more confusing ones.
Especially on an Android phone :-)
I’ve seen a few renditions of this one so far:
This is brilliant! 👍
Penis
An ethernet cable that’s actually wired for a serial port
looks at network hardware vendors
Sounds like someone accidentally used the wrong port a few times.
That’s what she said?
Some people just want to watch the world burn.
It’s not the same without two little screws jangling about
You could take the screws out of your iPhone and glue them onto the knobs, it’ll void your AppleCare though.
I had fuckin bent pins and pins falling out of my vga connector. I had to straighten them and align them. Good times.
Yes officer. This post over here.
No, seriously, why am I offended. This is offensive to me.
Because that stupid proprietary connector is now illegal in the EU YAAAAY
I would want an RJ45 charger.
I wish things actually used this, it looks really stable.
Well, you can buy them: https://www.coolgear.com/product/usb31-type-c-to-c-dual-screw-lock-cable
That’s cool, but I wouldn’t have anything to attach it to. It would be great if my laptop had those ports though.

I have not done a test print yet, but this might work. Requires a Apple USB-C cable because anything else is too big.
Jack or Plug? if plug, would you want it to look like its plugged in, so just the retention tab and back half are sticking out?
It would be epic if it is both.

not tested yet
Coaxial for me
Cant do it, the BNC connector is not large enough to house a USBc end, even the Apple one which is the smallest I have. I would have to enlarge the BNC to a near comical size. Now if we removed the moulded housing it could be done, but it would have to be made on a bare PCB/Cable/Connector to be the right size.
An N connector should be just big enough, if not, use a 7/16 DIN connector then.
N connector to SMA, and hardline to USB-C.
25pin serial cable and ain’t nobody at work gonna steal my phone charger no more.
