This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.

Be warned:

If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

Car battery

Jumper cables

Duct tape

If you get a bonus then bleach, lye, or tarp rounds it out. Have fun talking to the local police!

None of this would attract attention, this is what you would buy to work on an old car. You don't get out much do you? ๐Ÿคฃ

[โ€“] Maggoty 3 points 2 months ago (2 children)

Are you working on the car or doing a patch job until you can work on the car?

There's nothing more permanent than a temporary fix.

If you think the mechanics you go to aren't cowboys, you're wrong.

If you think the guy who wired up your home wasn't a cowboy, you're wrong.

If you think the guy you would hire to wire up your home now isn't a cowboy, you're wrong.

It's cowboys all the way down.

I've inspected enough homes to realize that the people with the least respect for the dangers of poorly-installed wiring are electricians.

[โ€“] Maggoty 1 points 2 months ago

Yeah that hurts just right.

Depends on whether I'm getting paid fam

[โ€“] Maggoty 1 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Right. I'm just having trouble imagining a scenario that would require a new battery and duct tape but not fasteners of any kind or bolts...

How else do you fix a seat belt anchor

[โ€“] Maggoty 1 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Going to an auto parts store? If you do that with duct tape then you're going to have a very bad time.

Went out once to buy movie tickets, get back to the old big screen to experience it properly again. But it was very noisy and busy so it was more than enough with just the one time.

[โ€“] [email protected] 2 points 2 months ago

What movie? Casablanca?

I'd go for jumpers, tape, and a tarp. Using the car battery makes it seem like your car battery died. Rope would also make it creepy.

[โ€“] GratefullyGodless 2 points 2 months ago (1 children)

That's also all stuff you can use while working on your vehicle.

[โ€“] jagungal 3 points 2 months ago

True, zip ties would also fit in that category

I can never remember; is it the left or right nipple that goes to battery positive??
