Home Depot taking a stand against Woke masks.

Or some other stupid shit.

[–] UnderpantsWeevil@lemmy.world 12 points 6 days ago (1 children)

Why would I shop at Home Depot if I didn't think guys with perfectly chiseled jaws and manicured nails worked there?

[–] aramova@infosec.pub 5 points 6 days ago (1 children)

Description like that, someone may think you're looking for some Proud Boys.

[–] UnderpantsWeevil@lemmy.world 3 points 6 days ago

His neck isn't nearly beardy enough.

Stop the liberal anti wallcandy propaganda. It feels so good to eat the wall candy. It tastes exactly like cotton candy but it's available in my walls and my mattress

[–] Decoy321@lemmy.world 7 points 6 days ago

After all, if it wasn't delicious, why would they dye it that delicious pink?!?

[–] termaxima@programming.dev 25 points 6 days ago (1 children)

While this definitely is bad, I think people tend to be a bit unreasonable about this stuff.

Fiberglass is not asbestos, and by the way, asbestos is not uranium.

Do wear the proper PPE, yes, but also don’t be neurotic about it. Even full-time asbestos miners don’t always get related cancers. If you removed some without knowing, studies show you’ll be fine. Your body can and does eliminate asbestos, albeit very slowly.

And again, fiberglass is not asbestos, and doesn’t cause mesothelioma. It’s still not recommended to breathe it in, especially not on the regular, but you don’t need to live in fear of it.

You ever get fiberglass in your skin? Shit sucks.

[–] termaxima@programming.dev 4 points 5 days ago (1 children)

Thankfully no, I do wear gloves and a mask when I’m handling this stuff ! Im just saying it’s not going to kill you.

[–] OhNoMoreLemmy@lemmy.ml 3 points 5 days ago (1 children)

How have you managed not to get fibreglass on your skin when handling it?

I used to install it professionally, and even with goggles, a mask, and overalls tucked into your socks and gloves, that shit gets everywhere.

[–] termaxima@programming.dev 3 points 5 days ago

I’m pretty sure I just haven’t handled large enough quantities of it for that to happen. I’ve never installed it myself, I’ve only had to take it down for minor roof repairs, and put it back if afterwards.

[–] teije9@lemmy.blahaj.zone 11 points 6 days ago (1 children)

I remember often playing in construction sites as a kid, and we once found a roll of fiberglass. we just decided to sit on it and play with it (I found it funny how it tickled my skin) 😭😭

[–] Rin@lemm.ee 3 points 5 days ago

Man, this sounds like those russians who found a steaming (nuclear) rtg and decided to sit next to it for warmth and got radiation sickness.

The someone who wrote the text to image prompt, didn't know what goes into installing insulation.

Can't tell if the pic is AI or not, but your point stands and applies to a much larger issue with the slop being generated at a death-spiral pace across the internet.

Most of the people trying to replicate "stock photos" on the cheap have no clue what the subject is about or how it should look, so if some South Tanzanian family decide to make a few bucks pumping out content with help of their local internet cafe, they can generate the most professional pictures of people doing all kinds of activities. Pictures which get picked up by someone else somewhere else who is trying to make a guide or informational content, again for a few fast bucks. And this story repeats at all levels of human society at all levels because of capitalism. Every time, something is lost, some detail missed, some cultural context glossed over, and this is how we lose human history.

And eventually, inevitably, one way or another, humans.

[–] the_crotch@sh.itjust.works 12 points 6 days ago

It's an ad. Ads were slop long before AI.

[–] EightLeggedFreak@lemmy.world 3 points 5 days ago* (last edited 5 days ago)

Stock photo creation has always had the problem of not knowing what the subject matter is supposed to look like. Take a look at desktop computer assembly/maintenance or medical stock photography. The newer problem is that it's happening faster; more laypeople are able to produce more incorrect stock photos.

It's not that they don't want to sell it to you, it's just they don't want to force you to wear protective equipment, so your employer can cheap out on it.

Also isn't Home Depot one of those very christian corpos in the US? If yes, then there's also a non-zero chance they think wearing protective equipment is "gay".

[–] frezik@midwest.social 10 points 6 days ago

One of the founders is a hardcore Trump guy, but he's not part of the company anymore. The company itself splits its donations between Democrats and Republicans. (That's one of the tricks of a two party system. You can split your donation in half and win either way.)

They're not overly Christian the way Jimmy Johns or Chick-fil-A are.

[–] pineapplelover@lemm.ee 7 points 6 days ago

Folks, is staying alive gay?

[–] hungryphrog@lemmy.blahaj.zone 7 points 6 days ago

fellas is it gay to not die

[–] driving_crooner@lemmy.eco.br 7 points 6 days ago

That some big ass bacon.

Why is he kneeling on that board? He should be balancing his knees directly on the roof beams - get those kneecaps wobbling

[–] baldingpudenda@lemmy.world 8 points 6 days ago* (last edited 6 days ago)

Lol, I got yelled at for wasting time cause I went back down to get a scrap piece of board and some knee pads. After really slowing down an hour in, he went down and did the same. What's the point of buying stuff that helps you work easier and faster if you're not gonna use it?

If you are going to use reddit at least block the ads with revanced

Fiberglass is food, isn’t it?
