I just bought a new laser pointer, and want to have some fun with it. I don't have any pets, so thats kind of out of the question... what can I do to entertain myself for a while with it?

Not much, I'd think...it's a...laser pointer...used to point to presentation boards, projector screens, etc.
I know, but im sure theres fun stuff to do with it.Like for example, I lined up a bunch of mirrors in my house, turned on the point, and reflected the light through out the house and created my own Laser Grid. it was only visible after knocking a bunch of dust loose, but it was still cool at the time. I need more stuff to do other than that.
Point it at someones crotch from a distance
"Ahh, looks like you got crotch dot" - Simpsons quote :P
setup a laser alarm?
Really if you're asking what to do with a laser pointer you don't hvae much imgination. Just shine it on people's heads when they aren't looking.
1) Play with your pets with it--my cats love it.
2) Shine it thru your neighbor's window, tracking their motions. (kidding.)
3) Go to a presentation, and when the speaker uses his laser pointer, shine yours on the screen too, moving it around in circles and up and down.
4) Impress old people who haven't seen one.
take the case off
replace all the resistors with one's 1/10th of the ohmage
connect it up to a car battery
run into a shop
"Give me all your money, or I'll melt your face"
what would happen if you shone throught a magnifyung glass? can you rurn stuff?
What is rurn stuffQuote:
can you rurn stuff?[/b]
Well laser pointer are a waste of money.
Unless you have a cat, like me. Then it's hordes of fun and entertaining cat insanity!
i meant burn, not rurn
:D
That's great. xDQuote:

My Lab likes to chase the dot in circles around my living room...
But, really, Google it. I'm sure there are tons of people with nothing better to do than compile lists of things to do with laser pointers. Seriously.
I discovered that fish love laser pointers too. Shine it into an aquarium and watch the fish chase the dot. It's hilarious to watch!
It's great if you bring one to school. Very distracting, and it'll make the day go by faster. Just don't get caught. :content:
Haha, now you're making me want to buy a laser pointer just to try that out!Quote:

I'll wait a week or two to make sure the water parameters are still good and then I'll probably buy a new Betta, then eventually get the laser pointer to try it out. hehe.
If you turn on your shower and wait until it gets misty, you can see the beam...It's really cool.
I have a green one and it costed me $80...It was totally worth it...
I can shine it up in the sky at night and see the beam, and point to constilations and stuff.
-Shine it on someones forehead and say "GET DOWN!!! THERE'S A SNIPER AIMED AT YOU!!!"
-Get a whole bunch of mirrors and bounce the laser off them as many times as you can.
-Strap it to an airsoft gun and use it as a sight.
You can go outside at night and mess with squirrels if you don't have a cat. Cats are awesome. You can have laser pen fun AND you can eat them :D.
No, you won't be able to burn stuff using a magnifying glass (think for a second about why that works with sunlight...)
If you live in an apartment building, you can shine it down in front of people, and watch them try to figure out where it's coming from.
Damn, that's awesome!Quote:

I never actually expected to get this many responses. I might try the shower thing tonight.
I suppose I'll google "Laser Pointer Fun" and see what comes up.
Thanks for the help.
One thing I did find out I could do is, in my backyard, its near some other peoples backyards. So at night, when im in my room, I shine it out my window, and hope someone else has one and sees it, and then we can learn morse code and talk!
Get laser-rifle. One of those american (and illegal) weapons, that make people temporarily blind. That would be pretty dope.
take a capgun or something and attach the laser pointer to the top. Then shine the laser at people and be like "don't make me shoot!"
- Go to Washington DC.
- Go to the National Archives.
- Aim later at heat sensor inside of the case that holds the declaration of independence.
- Steal Declaration of Independence.
- ????
- PROFIT
I can see it almost every time I go out at night. The only time I can't see the beam is when there is way too much light pollution, like if all of the lights in my backyard are on, and even then, you can still faintly see it. I even live in AZ and it's really dry here...very little humidity that often goes down to 0%Quote:
