Should lava lamps have trigger warnings for people who have survived eruptions?

You may want to warn any friends from Hawaii or krakotoa

i could probably get another monitor just for running mp3 visualizations that would use fewer watts than the 40 watt bulb in that lava lamp

INCORRECT, visualizations consume significant GPU and CPU power - and thus energy, through constant mathematical calculations and rendering real time! On top of the wattage used by the extra monitor! I hope you feel dumb!!! Buy a lava lamp

He was probably heating it on a stove to fix it. Lovelamps gently caress up when people shake them. When the blobs are too small and dry at the top they stop working.

Listen you stupid piece of loving garbage, I heard that baby mewling coming from your room the other night. I know what you struggle with and it's a loving gay struggle, you hear me? Your struggle is loving poo poo dookie, I poo poo myself at the mention of your name.
When they found me limping along buck naked on the highway, rear end stained with sharted poo poo, snot and tears slathering my disfigured face, it was because of your bullshit.
I hope your parents whoop your pink boy butt to the edge of oblivion. I just can't believe they haven't yet, I just can't. If you aren't dead by the end of the day I will be, and trust me, a whole lot more social workers want me alive than they do you.
Expect your rancid infant body to be cribjacked by the time the rooster crows you slug.

Pretty much.

Also I bet that idiot who killed himself with the lava lamp put it on the stove because "it's taking too long to heat up" :saddowns:

Even when I was like 8 and got my first one took an eternity to heat up in kid-time, I knew better than to try and speed up the heating process.

I just had a vision of being trapped inside an oversized lava lamp and all I could sense was terrible agony.
It was disproportionately disturbing.
