Wouldn’t it be funny if every Technic car this year has these instead of wheels?
Yeah, it would be funny.
"I love power joint, it's so bad!"
(It's Nintendo Power Glove reference, for those wondering!)
That...is not what I think of when someone says "beams".
Aka a THC E-Cigarette
Power to the Joint!
It's the Great Joint of Power! It releases Great Special Beams every time you say "Technically"!
Never let it fall into the hands of a pedant.
For when you want to get REALLY high.
@MeisterDad:
I mean, is it minifig scale?
Deja Vu...as in: wasn't this just here a (relatively) 'short' time ago?

Halloween 2022, so a few months ago. Bricklink treats them as the same part, and even Brickset shows a 3-year overlap between the two. I have zero idea what the difference is between these.

I got the images of the pieces up and flicked between them; looks like 92911 is ever so slightly wider around the opening than 65453. Might just be a quirk of Brickset’s images though, I have no idea if that translates into a real world difference
Most Dutch Lego part?
i've suddenly got the munchies, anyone wanna go halfsies on a bucket of ice cream?

Sure it seems that way. Everything's special. But, eat some food, take a nap, and the feeling will wear off.
It's just a letter away from an interesting presentation.

Interesting? You obviously don't work for a large corporate..
@Brickalili:
The images for modern elements come from the LEGO servers, so any minor difference you can identify should reflect the actual part geometry. I’ve used that same trick (saving both to a mobile device and just flipping back and forth) to figure out a few differences.
@PurpleDave
More or less what I did. Looked unsettlingly like the piece was breathing
This is the piece to use as caster wheel holder. The new Spike/Mindstorms have very bad working caster wheels. Take this, order some ballz from a ball bearing supplier and you're ready to roll.
@Brickalili:
It better not have inhaled!
Looks more like a power bowl to me.
'Wow that's cool, what you do with it? You put your weed in there.'
