People tweeting stuff. We allow tweets from anyone.
RULES:
- Mark NSFW content.
- No doxxing people.
- Must be a pic of the tweet or similar. No direct links to the tweet.
- No international politcs
- Be excellent to each other.
- Provide an archived link to the tweet (or similar) being shown if it's a major celebrity, figure or any politician. If you replace the "x" at their site with xcancel (so it beomes xcancel.com), and you're not on mobile, it will save video. https://web.archive.org/save is another great option. Archive.is is no longer recommended because they remove/alter content.
- If a tweet (or similar) makes a statement of fact, either mark it as "satire" in the body or provide the original source link backing up the statement

Generally, those who need to ask how to install a drill bit into a drill are not typically the people who should turn around and immediately proceed to drilling holes into important things.
They also tend to underestimate the amount of torque power tools have.
Also, what is she planning on drilling?
Not him, if he’s working until 9.
That happens to old heads too, because they're used to 5-amp universal motors and then they get their hands on a tool that has twice the input power and 4x the output power.
And they live in the same house. And now you need to go tell the person you love that they shouldn't do work on the house they also live in.
"[dear spouse] why don't you wait 'til i get home and we can do the project together" works well for me.
Or let her know it's not very safe to use power tools alone in case you have an accident
hey, you were there for the conversation i had with (maybe more at) my mother about mowing the lawn when she's home alone.
Responded to comments above, but yeah, just me being stupid
