This is for strictly mildly interesting material. If it's too interesting, it doesn't belong. If it's not interesting, it doesn't belong.

This is obviously an objective criteria, so the mods are always right. Or maybe mildly right? Ahh.. what do we know?

Just post some stuff and don't spam.

Hi, Stuart!

I cannot unsee the socks/sandals combo

[–] Speculater@lemmy.world 7 points 2 months ago

Thank God. I wanted to come in and say that earlier, but no one else had. I figured most people in Lemmy wear this fit.

Pretty common attire round here.

They totally expect you to burn babies with it, they just have to put that there for legal liability reasons.

I mean technically you're not supposed to put qtips in your ears either, but...

Do not use the flame from this to make the temp of the sun exceed 50°

[–] papalonian@lemmy.world 9 points 2 months ago

Ah, I think it means to keep it away from children 😅 but you also shouldn't burn babies with them either.

I see that and say "nought to three" in Ashens voice every time.

I'm reading this that the label is saying that babies are extremely flammable and that the lighter should not be used around them lest the babies burst into flames, and those burning babies could become a hazard to the lighter user.

That's it? You're not going to like recommend a better alternative?

Don't burn candles with a sad face. Nothing about people or candles without faces, though.

don't burn the sun with it either apparently
