Wait, lemmy.ml is censoring bad words? Or is it your client?

Didn't know it had a name.
That once stopped me from registering a video game title.

I was feeling silly so I figured I'd go for a nonsensical contrast. "Evil Grape" got rejected. After several failed attempts it eventually dawned on me that some dumb algorithm thought it was a reference to sexual violence.

It kind of annoyed me but I just picked an other fruit. It wasn't until later that I considered that "Evil Banana" was probably more sexually evocative but it was too late by then.

So if you're ever playing a video game and shoot (or get shot by) "Evil Banana", know that, if it weren't for the Scunthorpe Problem, it could have been "Evil Grape," but either way, it wasn't intended as a sexual reference at all.

It was like that when i got here. But a shiny well polished hook glistening in the daylight raises an eyebrow.

I just use a fan rated box, securing it as per manufacturers spec, then hook the safety cable to a screw inside.

Its extremely embarrassing when guests continually ask about the ceiling hook.

You hung it during your houseplant phase, but you don't have a green thumb and haven't bothered to take the hook down yet

Yeah I didn’t mean to fuck in it, just that there is a piece of furniture that can explain why you have a ceiling hook.

The one on the left is a carbon monooxid detector. The one on the right als. But if you combine two carbon monooxide detectors, they’ll become a carbon dioxide detector!

Meh. It's probably nothing. Just take the batteries out of it. I'm sure it'll be fine. (/s, in case that wasn't understood haha)

or radon detector, depending on where you are and what your regional risks are.

It's common here in Malaysia for baby cradle swing or baby bouncer or baby rocker. The hook on the ceiling is attached to the cradle with a spring. Now my mind is dirtied by this meme.

Canadians don't put their babies in swings like that.
They grow them in the mud and snow.

Yee, of course, as is tradition, but they did mention they were talking about Malaysia

It's not, though. This is lemmy.ml, the OP is from lemmy.ca.

You're allowed to comment on posts on other servers. That's, like, the entire point of the Fediverse.

I will say that this is both a benefit and a detriment to lemmy in my experience. You have to pay attention to multiple levels of information.

We always just hung plants from them.

That or a Sky Chair, though ironically they kinda look like sex swings on their own.

nobody asks about my hooks.. it must be the way i look at them and say, "i wouldn't ask about the hooks"..

I used to have two smoke detectors one right next to the other. One came with the house, the other was linked to the alarm system.

14

Hang Olympic rings from them!

What's funny is that I actually had a pair in my livingroom that was actually used to hang Olympic rings!

I installed a hook in my living room ceiling but it was genuinely meant to hang my heavy bag for training. Now I'm wondering how many guests think that I do sex hook sex in the living room (where I don't even have curtains.)

So if I stick my pecker in it, does it do the ceiling fan helicopter? Asking for a friend...

Let's help your friends pick out a good ladder, you're buying of course.
