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.

If you haven't noticed the duck tape, look again for the duck tape.

Even worse, it's electrical tape.

Oh. Yeah. That's... Not going to hold.

this realization took it on a whole new level

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

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

[–] [email protected] 1 points 11 hours ago

There’s anchors you can use in concrete. They’re similar.

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 14 hours 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

[–] [email protected] 2 points 10 hours ago

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.

The poor VESA mount, she wasn't built for this!

[–] [email protected] 14 points 21 hours ago (1 children)

Well, that walls coming down

[–] [email protected] 6 points 21 hours ago (1 children)

yep, duck tape will not break!

[–] [email protected] 6 points 17 hours ago

If only he had used that and not electrical tape.

Hey, at least it won’t be fodder for [email protected].

[–] [email protected] 8 points 21 hours ago

I want to see the video

[–] [email protected] 6 points 21 hours ago

what a stud

[–] [email protected] 4 points 20 hours ago* (last edited 20 hours ago) (1 children)

is he inside the tv?

we can also see his shirt through the air vents

[–] [email protected] 3 points 18 hours ago

Pretty sure that's just dust buildup

Let's see if it pays off for him.
