Mildly Interesting

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.

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.

Hi, Stuart!

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

The least they could do is tell me which lighters it is okay to burn babies with

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

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.

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

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

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

It would be an inefficient use of fuel. Use the lighter to create a bonfire to roast the baby

when you can't burn the baby with the lighter

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
