You would think it would make me feel better to know that every person has intrusive thoughts. But it doesn’t at all, quite the opposite.
Yall are as crazy as I am, we are doomed.
Thanks. In 10 years of soldering, never once had I had this thought. Now I can’t unseen it! Damm
Just give in, do it to one spool, and you can move on with your life. Resistance only makes it hurt more.
That depends on the current and voltage
Back in the day I was told:
The volts give you the jolts
But the amps give you the crampsThe volts jolts, the mills kill.
No need for great resistance: all it takes is for a person to have a large capacity to stop being induced by such messages into doing such acts.
At worse you just get stuck in a loop of “should I do it or should I not do it”.
I see what you did there.
Painful resistance makes it that much more sweet when you finally succumb.
Well, facebook shorts have plenty of people doing exactly this in their “amazing crafts” videos where a dude usually does something extremely stupid and hazardous. I eyeroll when one pops up now
I was going to say it might be junk solder, but the brand looks well reviewed. Maybe counterfeit? I just had to deal with a kid’s first soldering kit containing “solder” with no listed alloy percentages. Couldn’t solder worth a damn.
I’ve always wanted to do this…
Oh this hurts physically. So much frustration when soldering with the small wires. So much wasted solder to save your fingers from burning.
Thanks. I hate it.
If your fingers are burning from soldering, you’re doing it wrong.
I have that same soldering pen. Apparently I’ve been holding it wrong for years. I’m such an amateur.
🤮
hmmm
From feeding tiny bits of solder. Not from soldering.
Or maybe you haven’t been doing it enough.
I use a set of reverse tweezers to hold the tiny little pieces. It also helps to get your fingers out of the way so you can see what you’re doing with really small parts.
Was it satisfying? How did it feel? Don’t be shy about details.
I’m… err… asking for friend.
No need to ask. I’ll be your friend.
Nothing wrong with striking while the iron is hot
Why isn’t this post mask as NSFW
This is what i’ve been doing as a kid.
I sometimes have my rosin and solder paste in similiar containers next to each other. It happens everytime that I want to accidentally dip my soldering iron into the solder paste
Last time I dipped my soldering iron into the solder paste I ended up with an asshole kid.
Now do it horizontally
as a kid, I was the responsible for having the classroom’s key in breaks for a while.
and deep down I always had an irresistable urge to throw that key out the window, to the road outside. never did… but… it was soooo tempting. no idea, why, though 😅
I am not tempted by my intrusive thoughts, personally. Never understood the “intrusive thoughts won” meme. :P
The people making these jokes don’t understand actual intrusive thoughts.
