I hurt myself today

to see if I still feel.

I focus on the pain

the only thing that's real...

[-] forkDestroyer@infosec.pub 11 points 22 hours ago

Lol that's the first thing I thought of when I read the title.

[-] Themosthighstrange@lemmy.world 17 points 1 day ago

SpoilerI normally hate crass jokes like this, but this was genuinely unexpected and perfectly placed. Johnny Cash had already sung "I will make you squirt" in my head before I even know what was happening. Bravo.

i hesitated to ruin the thread for one of my favorite songs right at the end but i just couldn't stop myself

[-] ItsMeForRealNow@lemmy.world 7 points 1 day ago

What a ride! That's what she said.

[-] LORDSMEGMA@sh.itjust.works 102 points 1 day ago

And you could have it all,

My empire of dirt.

[-] jrs100000@lemmy.world 9 points 1 day ago

Or was it an empire of shit?

We need to know if you wanted Jesus or heroin.

[-] sudoMakeUser@sh.itjust.works 8 points 1 day ago

Empire of dirt.

The shit was "crown of shit" in Trent Reznor's original. In Johnny Cash's cover he changed it to "crown of thorns".

[-] SatyrSack@quokk.au 10 points 1 day ago

It was dirt. In all versions. The "shit" change was elsewhere in the song.

Original:

I wear this crown of shit

Abomination:

I wear this crown of thorns

[-] bandanawearingbanana@lemmy.world 1 points 12 hours ago

the cover is sooooo much better than the original tho

If it makes you feel smarter the other day I ran a drill bit into the gap between my finger and finger nail 🥲

I'm not the smartest lmao. Don't drill into objects with your finger behind the spot you're drilling into to support the material (in my defense it was a thin flexible marierial in a weird shape that was hard to support and I guess I thought my finger was out of the way enough and/or I could move it as the drill started to go though... I'm an idiot lol)

Sending wishes for speedy recovery my friend!

[-] Snapz@lemmy.world 25 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago)

Stop posting here, you should focus on the pain.

You’ve become my Swedish friend.

[-] MrSelfDestruct@piefed.zip 57 points 1 day ago

My sweetest friend ?

[-] erusuoyera@sh.itjust.works 17 points 1 day ago

The same, but with an index finger that now and forever won't point straight.

[-] lessthanluigi@lemmy.sdf.org 42 points 1 day ago

What did you do to get the injury?

[-] erusuoyera@sh.itjust.works 66 points 1 day ago

So...you know how sometimes vehicles sound a bit rough, and you think " I'll look at YouTube" and youtube says maybe it the wheel bearing, and you jack it up and spin the wheel and listen and see if it is the wheel bearing? What youtube (and common sense) doesn't say is don't put your finger in the rim to spin it, because there's a caliper there. Trust, you do not want your finger in between a wheel and a caliper when you are trying to spin the drive wheel as hard as you can.

[-] Aussiemandeus@aussie.zone 4 points 1 day ago

In the future rather then spin it grab the tyre and wobble it.

If it's got movement it's shagged.

Just don't pull it off what ever you have it jacked up on.

The real benefit is if you're wheel bearing is really rooted you can tell on the ground.

Spinning can tell you about cv shafts though because they tend to click.

...ly fucking stupid. I am stunned at my own idiocy.

[-] gid@piefed.blahaj.zone 5 points 1 day ago

You'd be surprised at how many intelligent people do incredibly stupid things.

I bet you won't stick your finger in there again. As long as you've learned that lesson, I wouldn't be hard on yourself if I were you.

[-] lessthanluigi@lemmy.sdf.org 19 points 1 day ago

You shouldn't be so hard on yourself, even from an injury like this.

Take 2 aspirins and 750ml of good brandy and mail me $75. And we will both be happy!

Get well good sir!

[-] Aeao@lemmy.world 3 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago)

Don’t listen to him! You just put the lime in the coconut and drink them both up. It is off label but it’ll still work. The cost is only a dime and a lime and… I think another coconut you pay for the lime? Is that how it goes? So you need 20 cents to buy 2 coconuts and trade one for a lime?

[-] Bluewing@lemmy.world 1 points 8 hours ago

Lime and coconut gives you an upset tummy, you silly woman.

Besides, good whiskey never lets you lose your place. No wait, that's a whole different song.

Same

I did mine two days ago, took a chunk of finger tip out while cutting a loaf of bread on a cutting board which was not on a non-slip surface. People talk about how nice sourdough is, but never how dangerous. Worth it.

An unofficial chapter of the popular Dull Men's Club.

https://dullmensclub.com/

1. Relevant commentary on your own dull life. Posts should be about your own dull, lived experience. This is our most important rule. Direct questions, random thoughts, comment baiting, advice seeking, many uses of "discuss" rarely comply with this rule.

2. Original, Fresh, Meaningful Content.

3. Avoid repetitive topics.

4. This is not a search engine
Use a search engine, a tradesperson, Reddit, friends, a specialist Facebook group, apps, Wikipedia, an AI chat, a reverse image search etc. to answer simple questions or identify objects. Also see rule 1, “comment baiting”.

There are a number of content specific communities with subject matter experts who can help you.

Some other communities to consider before posting:

5. Keep it dull. If it puts us to sleep, it’s on the right track. Examples of likely not dull: jokes, gross stuff (including toes), politics, religion, royalty, illness or injury, killing things for fun, or promotional content. Feel free to post these elsewhere.

6. No hate speech, sexism, or bullying No sexism, hate speech, degrading or excessively foul language, or other harmful language. No othering or dehumanizing of anyone or negativity towards any gender identity.

7. Proofread before posting. Use good grammar and punctuation. Avoid useless phrases. Some examples: - starting a post with "So" - starting a post with pointless phrases, like "I hope this is allowed" or “this is my first post” Only share good quality, cropped images. Do not share screenshots of images; share the original image.
