      Not gonna lie… my first reaction to that in this context is “two in the pink one in the stink”. Now I feel dirty, thanks, Beryl.

            Weird. I find it really easy to just bend the ring finger but fairly hard to bend just the middle finger. Am i a freak?

      hot damn. I once lived in a house that used a contraption like this to feed elctricity from one circuit into another. I didn’t know and I touched one end… I did fall off the ladder, but I’m still alive.

      Of course this analogy is even more flawed than OOP’s.

    My favorites are the ones where the plug is live and the socket draws power, and if you hold the plug wrong you die.

    Old Czechoslovak oval 380V (3-phase 220V) plugs have 4 genders. The contact gender depends on whether the receptacle is a power source or sink, the sleeve gender depends on whether it’s a cable mount (innie) or wall mount (outie). I hate this, they could have made it work with two while still keeping the water resistance flaps like the new CEE round ones.

    Contact gender Plug Receptacle
    Female FP FR
    Male MP MR

    This meant that people needed contraptions like this to extend cables:

    We have a homemade one with a dodgy wooden base, and two outputs: one has two phases swapped for counterclockwise power.

    Shamefully, when I’m speaking to someone who starts spouting the usual nonsense about homosexuality or genders, I’ll ask " What about bears? ". I know nothing at all about bears, but seemingly its a great question to flounder moronic confidence. If it isn’t enough, I’ll add that bears display LGBTQ+ varieties in the wild and in zoo’s. Deapan / confused delivery is key!

    Huh, this post has taught me that I really like plugs and outlet’s, some of the ones posted look fun to plug in.

    Guess plugs and outlets are my weird old man interest.

You must post before you leave

Be nice. Assume others have good intent (within reason).

Moderator Guidelines

Moderator Guidelines

  • Don’t be mean to users. Be gentle or neutral.
  • Most moderator actions which have a modlog message should include your username.
  • When in doubt about whether or not a user is problematic, send them a DM.
  • Don’t waste time debating/arguing with problematic users.
  • Assume the best, but don’t tolerate sealioning/just asking questions/concern trolling.
  • Ask another mod to take over cases you struggle with, if you get tired, or when things get personal.
  • Ask the other mods for advice when things get complicated.
  • Share everything you do in the mod matrix, both so several mods aren’t unknowingly handling the same issues, but also so you can receive feedback on what you intend to do.
  • Don’t rush mod actions. If a case doesn’t need to be handled right away, consider taking a short break before getting to it. This is to say, cool down and make room for feedback.
  • Don’t perform too much moderation in the comments, except if you want a verdict to be public or to ask people to dial a convo down/stop. Single comment warnings are okay.
  • Send users concise DMs about verdicts about them, such as bans etc, except in cases where it is clear we don’t want them at all, such as obvious transphobes. No need to notify someone they haven’t been banned of course.
  • Explain to a user why their behavior is problematic and how it is distressing others rather than engage with whatever they are saying. Ask them to avoid this in the future and send them packing if they do not comply.
  • First warn users, then temp ban them, then finally perma ban them when they break the rules or act inappropriately. Skip steps if necessary.
  • Use neutral statements like “this statement can be considered transphobic” rather than “you are being transphobic”.
  • No large decisions or actions without community input (polls or meta posts f.ex.).
  • Large internal decisions (such as ousting a mod) might require a vote, needing more than 50% of the votes to pass. Also consider asking the community for feedback.
  • Remember you are a voluntary moderator. You don’t get paid. Take a break when you need one. Perhaps ask another moderator to step in if necessary.
