Be nice. Assume others have good intent (within reason).

Bigotry is not allowed, this includes (but is not limited to): Homophobia, Transphobia, Racism, Sexism, Abelism, Classism, or discrimination based on things like Ethnicity, Nationality, Language, or Religion.

Avoid shilling for corporations, posting advertisements, or promoting exploitation of workers.

Moderator Guidelines

Moderator Guidelines

  • Don’t be mean to users. Be gentle or neutral.
  • Most moderator actions which have a modlog message should include your username.
  • When in doubt about whether or not a user is problematic, send them a DM.
  • Don’t waste time debating/arguing with problematic users.
  • Assume the best, but don’t tolerate sealioning/just asking questions/concern trolling.
  • Ask another mod to take over cases you struggle with, if you get tired, or when things get personal.
  • Ask the other mods for advice when things get complicated.
  • Share everything you do in the mod matrix, both so several mods aren't unknowingly handling the same issues, but also so you can receive feedback on what you intend to do.
  • Don't rush mod actions. If a case doesn't need to be handled right away, consider taking a short break before getting to it. This is to say, cool down and make room for feedback.
  • Don’t perform too much moderation in the comments, except if you want a verdict to be public or to ask people to dial a convo down/stop. Single comment warnings are okay.
  • Send users concise DMs about verdicts about them, such as bans etc, except in cases where it is clear we don’t want them at all, such as obvious transphobes. No need to notify someone they haven’t been banned of course.
  • Explain to a user why their behavior is problematic and how it is distressing others rather than engage with whatever they are saying. Ask them to avoid this in the future and send them packing if they do not comply.
  • First warn users, then temp ban them, then finally perma ban them when they break the rules or act inappropriately. Skip steps if necessary.
  • Use neutral statements like “this statement can be considered transphobic” rather than “you are being transphobic”.
  • No large decisions or actions without community input (polls or meta posts f.ex.).
  • Large internal decisions (such as ousting a mod) might require a vote, needing more than 50% of the votes to pass. Also consider asking the community for feedback.
  • Remember you are a voluntary moderator. You don’t get paid. Take a break when you need one. Perhaps ask another moderator to step in if necessary.

@OP, why do you keep posting half a dozen unrelated memes together in one post? Why not separate posts?

[–] antonim@lemmy.world 17 points 2 days ago

Putting them all separately would come off as kind of spammy, so it's not a bad solution to do it in batch

[–] RobotFK@lemmy.blahaj.zone 9 points 2 days ago

Are they a bot?

Monster fucker art isn't enough anymore, I need monster fucker experience

Bad dragon wants to know your location.

I love this.

[–] LordAmplifier@pawb.social 3 points 2 days ago

Somebody with a bad dragon strap can always have my location~

True ascension.

[–] verdare@piefed.blahaj.zone 37 points 2 days ago (1 children)

I actually can’t tell what I’m supposed to be seeing on that PCB…

[–] KickMeElmo@sopuli.xyz 29 points 2 days ago

I assume based on the subreddit it's posted in that the idiot thinks it's a bug, or is feigning ignorance in doing so.

[–] ggtdbz@lemmy.dbzer0.com 23 points 2 days ago (2 children)

Obligatory please never disassemble a microwave no matter how cool a “magnetron” sounds

[–] addie@feddit.uk 15 points 2 days ago (3 children)

Same advice as disassembling a very old CRT TV - leave it unplugged for 24 hours for all the capacitors to discharge if you're wanting to reuse the bits for any projects that you're doing. Otherwise, spicy voltages may still be present.

[–] Doomsider@lemmy.world 8 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Just one minor quibble, leaving a old TV unplugged for 24 hours does not make it safe. Capacitors can hold a deadly charge for days, months, or even years.

Just like microwaves, most of them have discharging resistors, and are easy to discharge safely manually by looking up how and being careful.

[–] Sabata11792@ani.social 8 points 2 days ago (1 children)

You don't have dedicated high voltage discharge device, a screw driver taped to a big not conductive stick?

[–] addie@feddit.uk 10 points 2 days ago (3 children)

You'll give me traumatic flashbacks to our electricians checking the industrial overload settings by dropping a spanner onto the busbars. If the switchgear tripped out before the spanner melted, then the settings must be correct.

[–] Sabata11792@ani.social 9 points 2 days ago

How else am I supposed to check if the "kill your entire family twice" capacitor out of a microwave is angry or not?

[–] ssfckdt@lemmy.blahaj.zone 2 points 1 day ago

I'm reminded of that video of the two guys in an attic with a massive transformer and then using the ends to melt steel tools. I also wonder what wonderfully fun lung diseases those guys ended up with

[–] kkj@lemmy.dbzer0.com 4 points 2 days ago

Round a nut? You go into the busbar box.

[–] Micromot@piefed.social 8 points 2 days ago

There are also videos online on how to safely discharge them, just in case there is still power left

Many times the fix is simple, like a spuriously blown fuse. And the capacitor that holds charge after unplugged does not for long thanks to the discharging resistor, although best not rely on that and use a screwdriver to short it, even basic ones can handle 2000 volts but extending one with a stick is always possible.

Monster fucker art...I need it. I need more...I need to live it! Omfg the dirty thoughts are swarming! ♥️

[–] SabinStargem@lemmy.today 4 points 1 day ago (1 children)

I'd know that artist name anywhere. Thanks for the rec ❤️

[–] merc@sh.itjust.works 4 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Am I the only one trying to figure out the mechanics of that monsterfucker art?

It's a human's small hands on top of a monster's big ones. Both hands feature the back of the hands, thumbs in. Ok.

So, assuming there's fucking going on, the human's probably on top. From the orientation and position of the hands, both the monster and human are facing forward and the human is behind the monster. But, based on the size of those monster's hands and forearms, the monster is significantly larger than the human. So, what erogenous zones on that human can make contact with anything interesting on the monster? The best I can come up with is the human riding the back of the monster's head.

Now, it's a monster, who knows what kinds of holes and protrusions it might have on its head. And, in fact, being a monster we really can't make any guesses about its anatomy and body composition simply based on some vaguely hand-like things. Still, monster hands on top of human hands, or monster hands palm down, human hands palm up thumbs in would lead to more easily imagined situations.

[–] javasux@lemmy.world 14 points 1 day ago (2 children)

I think it's an 8-foot-tall monster topping a normal sized human doggy style, and the human is reaching forward to grasp the monsters hands

[–] merc@sh.itjust.works 1 points 1 day ago

Possible, but not the hand position I'd first picture for that kind of scenario.

[–] glitchdx@lemmy.world 1 points 1 day ago

human is a power bottom

Me: Oh that’s Belle and Beast

Also me: So we just had that already locked and loaded huh?

[–] AgentOrangesicle@lemmy.world 3 points 1 day ago

Yes plz, but make them cuddly and maybe a little fluffy.

[–] Magnum@infosec.pub 9 points 2 days ago (3 children)

What's up with the PCB with this multi segment LED, the one he salvaged from a microwave ... What's the joke?

[–] ssfckdt@lemmy.blahaj.zone 5 points 1 day ago

It's from a group about people paranoid about the global mind control conspiracy. The joke is, paranoid guy opens appliance, finds electronics, assumes computer spying deep state deprogrammers out to get them

[–] SkaveRat@discuss.tchncs.de 8 points 2 days ago

It was posted to a gangstalking sub. So probably just a mentally ill person being paranoid about pcbs

[–] ChaoticNeutralCzech@feddit.org -1 points 2 days ago (1 children)

It's clearly a VFD. And with so many characters (microwaves usually have 4 7-segment digits) and a "MUTE" indicator, it's likely not the control panel of a microwave.

[–] Malica@lemmy.zip 4 points 2 days ago

I feel that last one in my bones

[–] spacegoat@lemmy.world 3 points 2 days ago

Is this schizophrenia?
