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

[–] [email protected] 124 points 1 year 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 1 year 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 1 year ago

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

Actually good lifehack

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

[–] [email protected] 16 points 1 year 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 1 year ago

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

[–] [email protected] 31 points 1 year 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 1 year 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 1 year 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 1 year ago (2 children)

Oh, that's a CO2 detector...

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

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

[–] [email protected] 8 points 1 year 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 1 year ago

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

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 year ago

Modern problems, my friend. Modern problems.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 year 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 1 year 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 1 year ago (2 children)

What does it matter if its lemmy.ca?

[–] [email protected] 21 points 1 year 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 1 year 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 1 year 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 1 year ago

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

[–] [email protected] 7 points 1 year 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.)
