Seriously.

Whenever I hear about silly shit like this I'm reminded of an exchange between Jack Ryan and Skip Tyler in Hunt for Red October.

JACK: Could you fire an ICBM horizontally?
SKIP: Sure. Why would you want to?

This guy won’t event be the first person person to do something this specifically pointless either. At least the first guy had the excuse of it being the 20s and people were bored.

Now that I think about it, taking a peanut down the mountain would be a lot easier. So maybe the challenge in going up is making sure it's not rolling back all the time.

Contraption is a great word. I will have no more of your tomfoolery.

I apologize, I have a sensitivity to the eras when parlance is fangled.

I’d be more impressed if they took a bag of peanuts up the mountain. What good is one peanut when you’re going to be starving by the time you get to the top.

If you don't get scratches on our nose and need a skin graph reaching the summit you did it wrong.

I don't see a big difference in using a contraption and just crawling. If you were to actually push a peanut with your nose sans contraption, it would be a lot more difficult.

Might as well activated a drone with his nose to push that peanut.
Same difference.
No big deal.

One question
Was it a salted peanut?
That could make your nose itch

As an overdue update, this guy got to the top of the mountain, but I refuse to recognize it due to the contraption.

Check out the picture. He could easily scoop the peanut and fling it three feet at a time. This makes a mockery out of pushing peanuts up mountains with your nose.

It doesn’t even really attach to his nose, it’s strapped to his entire head. He could be missing his nose entirely and the contraption would work exactly the same.
