Internet as an art

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.

I will introduce more rules later and when I finish doing that I will make an announcement post about that.

For overall temporary guide check out the rules here: https://www.reddit.com/r/hmmm/wiki/rules/

I won't be moving all of them here but I will keep most of them.

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

Look closer at the telly

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

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.

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

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 weeks 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

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 weeks 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
