And off of them if you fuck up, I’d imagine.

Lovely, I’m glad there’s more than one of these hellplants.

An actual answer: you very quickly learn to pull in a way that prevents your fingers from slipping onto the prongs

…Do you, though? Because this thread is the first time I’ve considered this as a problem- which I agree it could be better designed in general but especially for child safety purposes- and I’ve been around American plugs my entire life. I’ve never been shocked, unless we’re counting the time I grabbed an electric fence because I was an idiot teenager being goaded by other idiot teenagers.

You just… grab the plug by the plug part? It doesn’t really require any kind of special technique to not touch the metal bits. Maybe I just have big hands? Realistically, I probably couldn’t fit between the wall and the plug while it was still inserted enough to be live.

I’ve always heard them called sand spurs, and they’re the devil. Nothing in nature needs to be that sharp, ffs.

At least chestnuts have the decency to be really localized and large, despite being spikey balls of evil. These little fuckers are miniature, everywhere, and can hide in carpet for a solid six months before you notice them the one time you decide to go barefoot.

I’m so glad we don’t have these where I live.

That’s exactly my point, though. I don’t know their marriage, I’m not their friend. What they have going on isn’t my business. I don’t know if Jackie Kennedy even wants me to be offended on her behalf, or if she’s perfectly happy being his wife while he goes full on fuckboy.

Maybe he’s cheating, maybe they have an open marriage, maybe he’s not built for monogamy and she’s fine with that because she gets to be first lady. It’s not my business.

That’s true- hypocrisy is a bad look.

I just don’t care, personally. Infidelity is the kind of thing that makes me go, “that’s kinda not cool, but you do you.”

I don’t know what JFK and Jackie had going on- maybe they had screaming fights on the regular over it, or maybe they were both explicitly on board with him fooling around. Their marriage ain’t my business.

As long as everyone involved is of age and consenting, I largely don’t care who politicians are fucking past the memes being funny occasionally.

All that says is that the Israelis tried to blackmail Clinton with tapes of his definitely-not-sexual-relations. Which, while I’d not heard about it before, I find entirely plausible. It never says Lewinsky was an Israeli spy, though.

Well, shit. You’ve got me there ngl.

People always talking about how extremely hot metal looks tasty.

I’m an amateur blacksmith. Glowing metal looks like pain.

I went to make sure I wasn’t subscribed (I was, so glad I checked. I might accidentally call someone bro not realizing where I am, after all. Need to ensure he has a safe bro-free space) and he’s not just locked the thread, but locked the entire comm due to “brigading”.

Anyone have suggestions for an alternative?

FMHY definitely updates as well. That site is much more streaming focused, though, so definitely useful.

https://fmhy.pages.dev/ just link them here instead.

I know three people with the newest two Xboxes. I can’t count the number of people I know with a PS5, though.

I hope they keep being hardware, but don’t really have a dog in the race since I moved over almost entirely to PC years ago.
