To be fair it only ever got ruined when people wanted to extend the "no images of death" rule to things like a news article with no pictures or a funny Darwin Award tweet. Everyone was pretty good with someone catching a ban if they posted a gif of a motorcycle rider getting creamed by a semi or something.

I'm all for no death/gore, but there was also the issue with a few certain broke-brain backseat mods who reported everything because they felt there was no way the person could have lived and they took it upon themselves to try and sanitize the thread for the consumption of others. At least a couple even got a new avs/redtext that I remember for being complete and utter shitbirds.

The best example was the guy jumping off the pool house and eating it. After 5 pages of idiots crying about it, reporting it, etc., someone posted an update from the guy who was still very much alive with him sitting in the hospital and they were just sure he must have died after the hospital pic because they needed to be right.

Anyhow...

A bunch of grifted anime fans are mad that a serial abuser is getting his comeuppance in court (he's the plantiff in this case), so after the judge shuts down most of his case (12 of 17 allegations), so they start sending the judge death threats. Judge just made it clear he knows, and is not thrilled.

If this was a modern 17yo on trial for murder, rape, etc. , there'd be dozens of goons tripping all over themselves trying to whiteknight them with the "up until 17 years and 365 days, 17 year olds have tiny, undeveloped children brains and cannot make a decision. Billy's 17 and on trial for killing his mom and loving her corpse? Let him play Xbox in juvie for a year and when he gets out, he'll become a brain surgeon or astronaut with his new, reformed adult brain"-catlady era argument.

I have a former student who was witnessed making GBS threads on his parents' coffee table by two other students while gaming. He didn't want to miss his bideo james by walking down the hall to the toilet so he poo poo on the coffee table. His mom came home shortly after that and flipped out. The story was told again years later by his younger brother almost word for word. This video doesn't seem to be much of a stretch.

The number of people coming to the defense of an underage group bringing outside alcohol in to a bar (which could lead to the firing of several minimum wage slaves) and a male prostitute exposing himself in public is somewhat surprising but then again I guess the forums have changed.

It's an old-timey thing where older, non-hardened hammers could shatter if struck hard against a newer hammer made of better quality steel. It hasn't been a real thing for probably decades and certainly didn't contribute to the head flying off in the video above.

I will now patiently await the verbal hammering I am about to receive.

The reason you don't hit two hammers together is because they are hardened.

Try this. Mount the first inch of a 4-5" long piece of 1/2" mild steel bar in a vice. Strike it on the side with a hammer. Now, clamp the first inch of a 1/2-13 (or -20,your choice) tap in a vice. Give it a good whack. Which one bent and which one broke or shattered?

Clue: make sure your wearing safety glasses when hitting the tap

Metallurgy and hardening processes are better today so it's rare for hammers to do that because they're not hardened to the point of being brittle. However, I've at least seen people break chips or larger chunks off hammer heads few times in the past 20 years especially when using a second hammer to get the claws of the first hammer under a nail head.

No loving thanks, the more tech I see like this the more I get why some older people don't want to deal with it, especially if they have a limited understanding.

Probably another time when I had been outside drinking absinthe and walked back into his house. As I walked in, the guy who had been administering wine enemas the other time was beating on one of the bedroom doors and threatening to beat another guy's rear end, etc. I asked him what was going on and evidently a roommate (a guy we'd known for a few years) had just banged another dude and decided it would be hilarious to throw the used rubber at him which spilled and got cum in his hair and face.

This was during the Jackass/DirtySanchez era and there were always pranks and mildly homoerotic stuff going on, but evidently the roommate didn't see how assault with bodily fluids crossed a line. He was out in a few days.

I've intentionally shocked myself off fences like that and it isn't that strong. Worst case he could pull his cramping hand off with his other hand, but the current involved isn't that substantial.

On a related note, I had a 6th grade teacher who had a little electrical generator that had a hand-crank like a pencil sharpener. He had volunteers come up to see how long they could hold onto the leads before it was too painful. Most kids got a little jolt and shrieked and let go. I held onto it until my arm muscles were twitching and he decided that was enough.

I suspect that teacher had issues.

Our 7th-8th grade shop teacher had one. He'd have us all stand in a circle holding hands. He'd crank the generator until someone jumped out, close the circle again, and keep doing it until he was down to one.
