A recent Reddit video titled "Goodwill find" has captured the internet's attention with its lighthearted and unexpected discovery—a "B******* Detector" device. The video features audio clips that repeatedly announce: "B******* detected! Take precautions! B******* level DEFCON 5! Oh come on now, that ain't even b*******! That's more s***! Warning! Warning! B******* alert! That was b*******!"

This quirky gadget, which many believe could easily be found in congress, seems to be a throwback to around 2009 from Spencer’s Gifts. One user pointed out a humorous flaw, noting, "Isn't Defcon 5 the low end of the scale?" Despite this, the device's charm lies in its comedic timing and the nostalgia it brings to those who recognize it.

Many Reddit users have shared their experiences and thoughts on this device. One user said, "That is brilliant. It would be great to keep that in your pocket and press it at appropriate times." Another mentioned, "I have one still in the packaging... It's at least 8 years old. Probably more." The gadget’s popularity is evident, with numerous people asking, "Please, someone tell me where can I get that at?"

One particularly clever suggestion was to "Have it join meetings as its own user," highlighting the device's potential for spicing up dull work events. A user recounted a story about someone who brought it to meetings secretly, setting it off with her foot when she deemed it necessary. Her stealthy use of the device went unnoticed for years, and she still works for the same company.

This Goodwill find has not only sparked joy and laughter but also a wave of nostalgia and curiosity. If this lighthearted b******* detector sounds like something you'd love to own, a trip to a thrift store or a thorough online search might just lead you to this gem from Spencer’s Gifts.

I know someone who had one of these. She put it in her purse and took it to meetings. She put the purse on the ground and set it off with her foot when she thought appropriate. She did not tell anyone save for a few close friends and not until years later. She still works for the same company.
