A great system until you smoke a bit of green plastic.

So a bit of a story because I think it's important to share what an older generation thought of these things.

I had an uncle, Vietnam vet, who was, as he described it, part of the 'freak' movement/ culture. It was a counter culture movement of the 60s and 70s, a kind of place to hold people who might not have been hippies, but roundly rejected "square" society. Think Cheech and Chong. Think Hunter S Thompson.

His turn of phrase was "let your freak flag fly", as in , do things to demonstrate to society you are not interested and do not seek their approval.

The setup is kinda funny but I found the punchline pretty meh

Better punchline: Something something ... our apartment has never been so clean!

[–] phil_dissonance@lemm.ee 5 points 4 hours ago (1 children)

Yeah that is better indeed

Or in the end after finding nothing:

Well now both we and the apartment are clean!

[–] Sergio@lemmy.world 4 points 3 hours ago

The cops raid the place with a similar device and find absolutely nothing.

gasp! They're addicted... to cleaning!
