For things that are "hmmm".

Rule 1: All post titles except for meta posts should be just plain "hmmm" and nothing else, no emotes, no capitalisation, no extending it to "hmmmm" etc.

If you haven't noticed the duck tape, look again for the duck tape.

[–] shonn 28 points 3 months ago

Even worse, it's electrical tape.

As long as drywall anchors were used, it shouldn't be an issue.

I really, really didn't think I needed a sarcasm tag here.

[–] Sludgeyy 3 points 3 months ago (1 children)

Drywall anchors? That's got to be a solid stone wall. I don't think you can use drywall anchors.

Well you could drill out large holes and fill with spackle, then insert the drywall anchors into those areas.

Yeah should work just fine

There’s anchors you can use in concrete. They’re similar.

[–] Sludgeyy 1 points 3 months ago (1 children)

That you can screw in without drilling a pilot hole like with some drywall anchors?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 3 months ago

No you would need to put a pilot hole in with concrete anchors

I'm sorry, I've clearly become too jaded

Please, don't ever use the sarcasm tag, it's the internet equivalent of explaining the joke

[–] Shapillon 3 points 3 months ago

I like sarcasm tags.

Imho you lose a lot of cues by going from speaking to writing.

It helps those of us who struggle with things like sarcasm

As long as drywall anchors were used [to mount a CRT TV to a wall with electrical tape], it shouldn't be an issue.

I'm on the spectrum and I don't know how anyone could actually read, understand, but then still interpret this comment as anything but unambiguous sarcasm unless they don't know the first thing about basic home maintenance. As much as I appreciate it sometimes when something is unclear to me, for others, the /s takes something of value away from a joke when the intention was clear.

I use different ways to mark sarcasm, as i don't like SpElLiNg It OuT. I get some fun responses and people show their true colours

The poor VESA mount, she wasn't built for this!

[–] [email protected] 14 points 3 months ago (1 children)

Well, that walls coming down

[–] [email protected] 6 points 3 months ago (1 children)

yep, duck tape will not break!

[–] shonn 6 points 3 months ago

If only he had used that and not electrical tape.

Let's see if it pays off for him.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 3 months ago* (last edited 3 months ago) (1 children)

is he inside the tv?

we can also see his shirt through the air vents

[–] [email protected] 3 points 3 months ago

Pretty sure that's just dust buildup

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 months ago

Look what mean ole Mr. Gravity about to do.

Hey, at least it won’t be fodder for [email protected].
