“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.
“And because nobody should ever have to go to Scunthorpe” 😂

It’s “Thorp”.
The octothorp (easily recognized as #) is the symbol used in censorship. Has been for ages.
Sure, some modern online chatter now uses asterisks, but that’s only because they became the symbol for hiding passwords and in the eternal September people forgot about octothorp. But censorship is not hiding passwords, it’s saying “sh#t” instead of the proper word for fear of legal repercussions. Even markdown formatting is incompatible with the imposter that is the asterisk because it recognizes the true censorship history of the thorp.
No such censor on lemm.ee (yet)
Minecraft doesn’t censor language.
bedrock edition (for phones/tablets/consoles/windows 10 store) does
“Uhm, Karl, why are you in my bedroom?”
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?
The sex swing mount of course
Fire alarms should be mounted outside of bedrooms.
This one was located in the living room, no?
I’m going to put mine on the porch.
Actually good lifehack
Just say you use it for shibari, that’ll put them at ease.
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
You say “extremely embarrassing”, but I say “a perfect opportunity” ;3
Just get yourself one of those swinging chairs:
I have one. Its very uncomfortable for sex.
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.
But you can easily exchange it for the sex swing.
In India, it’s surprisingly common to have one(a floating chair)
Hang a planter from it.
Hidden in plain sight, very cunning.
People will still ask question if you mounted 2 fire detector at 1m distance?
Oh, that’s a CO2 detector…
CO*
No, that would be carbon monoxide. Mine is a carbon dioxide detector.
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!
We are a traditional “one detector per oxide” family!
Modern problems, my friend. Modern problems.
🚪
Idk why mine keeps going off all the time
Find any post-it notes anywhere around the house?
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.
Yesssssssss hahahahaha
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.
Yee, of course, as is tradition, but they did mention they were talking about Malaysia
.ca is the TLD for Canada, so they are obligated to apologize
I thought it was the other way around; the instance is supposed to apologize to anotherlemmyuser.
You’re right, I’m so very sorry
You’re allowed to comment on posts on other servers. That’s, like, the entire point of the Fediverse.
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.
No, it’s dual use. Few times for for conception, then it’s already there just hang the bouncer from it.
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 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
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.)
