“Hey Dave, why do you have 3 smoke detectors in your bedroom?”
For safety. Hey, check out my flame retardant ball gag!

Wait, lemmy.ml is censoring bad words? Or is it your client?
Seems like you might have fallen victim to the Scunthorpe Problem. I’m sure you can guess what word they were trying to censor there…
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.

Obligatory Tom Scott video featuring similarly problematic city name, Penistone.
It was like that when i got here. But a shiny well polished hook glistening in the daylight raises an eyebrow.
Are they not for ceiling fans? The two fans I’ve installed needed them.
I just use a fan rated box, securing it as per manufacturers spec, then hook the safety cable to a screw inside.
why not have a hanging chair?
What do you disguise the actual fire alarm as?
Actually good lifehack
Its extremely embarrassing when guests continually ask about the ceiling hook.
You say “extremely embarrassing”, but I say “a perfect opportunity” ;3
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
We always just hung plants from them.
That or a Sky Chair, though ironically they kinda look like sex swings on their own.
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.
Oops I just realised this is lemmy.ca, this just appears on my feed so I just commented.
What does it matter if its lemmy.ca?
Canadians don’t put their babies in swings like that.
They grow them in the mud and snow.Until they’re old enough to man the caboose.
Its all good welcome friend
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.
Just say you use it for shibari, that’ll put them at ease.
nobody asks about my hooks… it must be the way i look at them and say, “i wouldn’t ask about the hooks”…
I just hate the hypocrisy of it all
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.
hey, thats the same model of smoke detector that I have
People will still ask question if you mounted 2 fire detector at 1m distance?
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!
Nice
So if I stick my pecker in it, does it do the ceiling fan helicopter? Asking for a friend…
