You would think it would make me feel better to know that every person has intrusive thoughts. But it doesn't at all, quite the opposite.
Yall are as crazy as I am, we are doomed.
Thanks. In 10 years of soldering, never once had I had this thought. Now I can't unseen it! Damm
Just give in, do it to one spool, and you can move on with your life. Resistance only makes it hurt more.
That depends on the current and voltage
Back in the day I was told:
The volts give you the jolts
But the amps give you the cramps
The volts jolts, the mills kill.
No need for great resistance: all it takes is for a person to have a large capacity to stop being induced by such messages into doing such acts.
At worse you just get stuck in a loop of "should I do it or should I not do it".
I see what you did there.
Painful resistance makes it that much more sweet when you finally succumb.
Well, facebook shorts have plenty of people doing exactly this in their "amazing crafts" videos where a dude usually does something extremely stupid and hazardous. I eyeroll when one pops up now
I was going to say it might be junk solder, but the brand looks well reviewed. Maybe counterfeit? I just had to deal with a kid's first soldering kit containing "solder" with no listed alloy percentages. Couldn't solder worth a damn.
Oh this hurts physically. So much frustration when soldering with the small wires. So much wasted solder to save your fingers from burning.
Thanks. I hate it.
If your fingers are burning from soldering, you're doing it wrong.
I have that same soldering pen. Apparently I've been holding it wrong for years. I'm such an amateur.
Is that pic from alamy ? I can't tell
🤮
hmmm
From feeding tiny bits of solder. Not from soldering.
I prefer grabbing small amounts of solder with the tip of the soldering iron instead. Helps a lot when solderling small stuff, esp. smd components
I prefer adding solder while soldering. The solder itself also holds flux, and often when you do it that way you don't need to add flux yourself. Also if you solder through hole and you add solder to the tip before soldering all the flux dissappears, and you don't have enough solder for the weld.
And small amounts of solder doesn't mean short strips, which is what you get when you do what OP posted.
Source: I work in the circuit board population field. And do inspection and repairs.
I just hold the whole roll with a bit rolled out straight in one hand, and the iron in the other. I think I might be doing it wrong lol.
What do y'all expect?! I taught myself how to solder because my pokemon yellow cart died!
Was it satisfying? How did it feel? Don't be shy about details.
I'm... err... asking for a friend.
No need to ask. I'll be your friend.
Thank you. ❤️
Nothing wrong with striking while the iron is hot
Why isn't this post marked as NSFW
Melting crayons on oldschool incandescent lightbulbs was EXTREMELY satisfying as a kid
Somehow, and I honestly don't know how, I have passed by countless fire alarms in my life and resisted the urge to pull every one I see. It's been 46 years. Here's hoping my record will continue to be unbroken.
But my goodness, I've spent a long time resisting the History Eraser Button. Those alarms are even jolly and candylike!
Please don't erase history! We need it 😭🙏
I hope they weren't in California, that stuff causes cancer in California.
as a kid, I was the responsible for having the classroom's key in breaks for a while.
and deep down I always had an irresistable urge to throw that key out the window, to the road outside. never did... but... it was soooo tempting. no idea, why, though 😅
This is what i've been doing as a kid.
I used to regularly mangle candles with paper clips I would heat up in the flame and then use to skewer them. There's something super cathartic about just melting the fuck out of things.
I sometimes have my rosin and solder paste in similiar containers next to each other. It happens everytime that I want to accidentally dip my soldering iron into the solder paste
Last time I dipped my soldering iron into the solder paste I ended up with an asshole kid.
OMG your so literally cray-cray and quirky! Here's your participation trophy 🖕
I am not tempted by my intrusive thoughts, personally. Never understood the "intrusive thoughts won" meme. :P
You’ve never been near a ledge and thought, "what if I jumped?"
Never thought about dipping a finger in the blender or light socket?
Never thought of or touched something that you knew was way too hot?
Yes. All the time, and worse options besides. But there's no temptation to do those things. It`s more like I'm being reminded that those are options, that nothing besides my own will -- and the fact that I am in control of my body -- prevents me from doing them. It's scary. I hate it.
The part I don't get is the idea that other people claim to have voices urging them to do these things.
Do you have an inner monologue? Some people don’t and that’s okay but a lot of people do have a "voice" for their conscious thoughts.
But the other thing you described is intrusive thoughts. We think, "This is a thing I could do" and we mostly don’t do them bc we think about the consequences and our inhibitions kick in.
