Yesterday, while in my favourite sushi restaurant in town I ordered 2 upside down Maki rolls, and my favourite… rice sashimi. People say that sashimi is sushi with no rice, but what if I get just rice? That’s rice sashimi my friends. As I basked in the glory of my culinary genius, a sound cut through the air, sending a chill down my supreme spine…

Bleep Blorp.

It was the coffee machine. But then, a metallic voice followed: “Dr. Splatterjacket, I presume.” It was one of Zargoid 5’s henchmen! I knew he’d come for me eventually, his mining operation has always been inferior to mine, but I didn’t think he’d send in the heavies so soon.

Or so I thought. Turns out, the robot was just passing through. It introduced itself as ASJIOFJNOSDNFNDSUNDS ONGFONKJGNKBUYWENJNCINSIUNDXW and left without incident. Still, the encounter left me uneasy. I might need to scope out Zargoid 5’s mine, which, unlike mine (conveniently located near sushi restaurants), is in the middle of the Sahara Desert.

To survive such a journey, I’ll need to take plenty of pictures and stay hydrated. Thankfully, I’ve invented the AquaSnap.

AquaSnap is the ultimate desert survival tool. It’s a fully functional camera that doubles as a water condenser, extracting pure, refreshing water straight from the air. Perfect for keeping you hydrated while you snap photos of your nemesis’s subpar mine! Plus, think about it, cameras are already close to your mouth when taking pictures. Efficiency!

Now, I won’t lie: AquaSnap is heavier than a regular camera. In fact, it’s even heavier than carrying a dozen bottles of water. But in the desert, when your supplies run out, AquaSnap will save the day with warm(ish) water on demand. Try getting that from your boring regular camera!

So, whether you’re exploring the Sahara or just want to show off at the next photography club meeting, AquaSnap is the must-have gadget.

Note to self: In case it doesn’t work, bring a backup camera and a flask.
