There are literally four currently alive that lived through the same 3 events. And in my very strong opinion, Gen Z was not hit the hardest of the current generations.

The effort you put into this is so impressive! What a lovely post to read.

Never underestimate stupidity. Though I do think it’s at least not normally people trying to connect two strands that are themselves already live. It’s normally people who are connecting several strands together and started at the end not plugged in with the male end poking out, not realizing that this means when they’re done stringing and go to plug in they’ve got the female end and no way to plug it in.
Left facing the daunting task of completely undoing all the work they just did, they try to look for something to bridge the gap without thinking through to the danger.

I appreciate a good “um actually” but this really is about Christmas lights. People really are stupid enough for this to be something posted specifically around December.
As far as I can tell from a reverse image search this is the original. (Not linking to the other place, DM me if you want the link for some reason).

I’m gonna guess winter, hanging Christmas lights. People string up their lights and then realize far too late that they put two strands with female ends facing each other and instead of restringing they look for a male-to-male cord to bridge the gap.
A little live wire shouldn’t stand in the way of holiday cheer, after all.

I’ve got bad news for you. Clockwise/counterclockeise depends on which way you’re looking at the screw.
Turns out either way you need to make assumptions about perspective.

Funny, this is actually more specific about your birthday than just saying your birth year. This also encodes whether your birthday is before or after the current date within the year.
So… 1999 with your birthday later than May 10?

- Comment on House Centipedes 8 months ago:
Took a lot of getting used to when I moved to the East Coast for grad school. Supposedly they do live in my home state but I can’t recall ever seeing one here. It’s mostly spiders, millipedes, and earwigs where I’m from.
The thing that really freaked me out about centipedes is how absurdly fast they are. Also the one time I watched one crawling above me in bed and then it dropped onto my pillow **what the fuck**.
