          Wait, lemmy.ml is censoring bad words? Or is it your client?

          Seems like you might have fallen victim to the Scunthorpe Problem. I’m sure you can guess what word they were trying to censor there…

            Didn’t know it had a name.
            That once stopped me from registering a video game title.

            I was feeling silly so I figured I’d go for a nonsensical contrast. “Evil Grape” got rejected. After several failed attempts it eventually dawned on me that some dumb algorithm thought it was a reference to sexual violence.

            It kind of annoyed me but I just picked an other fruit. It wasn’t until later that I considered that “Evil Banana” was probably more sexually evocative but it was too late by then.

            So if you’re ever playing a video game and shoot (or get shot by) “Evil Banana”, know that, if it weren’t for the Scunthorpe Problem, it could have been “Evil Grape,” but either way, it wasn’t intended as a sexual reference at all.

      It was like that when i got here. But a shiny well polished hook glistening in the daylight raises an eyebrow.

        Are they not for ceiling fans? The two fans I’ve installed needed them.

          I just use a fan rated box, securing it as per manufacturers spec, then hook the safety cable to a screw inside.
