"Hey Dave, why do you have 3 smoke detectors in your bedroom?"

[–] [email protected] 124 points 11 months ago (1 children)

For safety. Hey, check out my flame retardant ball gag!

"Uhm, Karl, why are you in my bedroom?"

[–] [email protected] 22 points 11 months ago (2 children)

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.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 11 months ago

I just use a fan rated box, securing it as per manufacturers spec, then hook the safety cable to a screw inside.

What do you disguise the actual fire alarm as?

[–] [email protected] 74 points 11 months ago

The sex swing mount of course

Actually good lifehack

Its extremely embarrassing when guests continually ask about the ceiling hook.

[–] [email protected] 16 points 11 months ago

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

[–] [email protected] 16 points 11 months ago

You say "extremely embarrassing", but I say "a perfect opportunity" ;3

[–] [email protected] 31 points 11 months ago

Just say you use it for shibari, that'll put them at ease.

I have one. Its very uncomfortable for sex.

[–] [email protected] 12 points 11 months ago

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.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 11 months ago (1 children)

But you can easily exchange it for the sex swing.

Hidden in plain sight, very cunning.

People will still ask question if you mounted 2 fire detector at 1m distance?

[–] [email protected] 23 points 11 months ago (2 children)

Oh, that's a CO2 detector...

[–] [email protected] 18 points 11 months ago (1 children)
[–] [email protected] 11 points 11 months ago (2 children)

No, that would be carbon monoxide. Mine is a carbon dioxide detector.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 11 months ago (2 children)

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!

[–] [email protected] 8 points 11 months ago

We are a traditional "one detector per oxide" family!

[–] [email protected] 5 points 11 months ago

Modern problems, my friend. Modern problems.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 11 months ago (2 children)

or radon detector, depending on where you are and what your regional risks are.

We always just hung plants from them.

That or a Sky Chair, though ironically they kinda look like sex swings on their own.

[–] [email protected] 20 points 11 months ago (2 children)

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.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 11 months ago (2 children)

What does it matter if its lemmy.ca?

[–] [email protected] 21 points 11 months ago (2 children)

Canadians don't put their babies in swings like that.
They grow them in the mud and snow.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 11 months ago

Until they're old enough to man the caboose.

.ca is the TLD for Canada, so they are obligated to apologize

It's not, though. This is lemmy.ml, the OP is from lemmy.ca.

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.

[–] Kecessa 9 points 11 months ago

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!

[–] [email protected] 8 points 11 months ago

hey, thats the same model of smoke detector that I have

[–] [email protected] 7 points 11 months ago

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.)
