Welcome to /c/Tumblr
All the chaos of Tumblr, without actually going to Tumblr.
Rule 1: Be Civil, Not Cursed
This isn’t your personal call-out post.
- No harassment, dogpiling, or brigading
- No bigotry (transphobia, racism, sexism, etc.)
- Keep it fun and weird, not mean-spirited
Rule 2: No Forbidden Posts
Some things belong in the drafts forever. That means:
- No spam or scams
- No porn or sexually explicit content
- No illegal content (don’t make this a federal case)
- NSFW screenshots must be properly tagged
If you see a post that breaks the rules, report it so the mods can handle it. Otherwise just reblog and relax.

MODERATORS
I mean, that is the general idea of a booby trap. Maybe not C4 or a rigged up shotgun, but still an automated trap that is meant to cause harm to potential thieves.
Right, but your list of potential non-thieves was
So, either you think booby traps are sprung simply on door knocks/bells, or you think neighbors, missionaries, and salespeople can reasonably enter your home and make it to your internal traps without express permission or consent to be on the property.
Lets say I set up a whole ass grenade bouquet. A Mormon knocks on my door, nothing happens. The Mormon leaves, nothing happens. A Sales guy shows up next, rings the bell, nothing happens. He thinks "dude's not home, let's go inside anyway" and breaks in, he goes up the stairs and hits a tripwire...
But why was the sales guy inside? I don't care if he "just wanted to leave Verizon literature on my pillow" or if he was a "thief," he shouldn't have broken in.
