I used to work in a new age shop that sold rock salt lamps. A woman came in one time to complain about the lamp she bought.

Woman: My salt lamp was dusty and dirty.

Me: Okay...

W: So I took the rock salt off the base.

Me: Hmm?

W: And I washed it with hot soapy water.

Me: Ah.

W: And it just dissolved!

Me: Yep, it's salt.

W: I want a refund.

Me: laughs.

This has me wondering if art supply stores have people coming in complaining that their pencil ran out of lead when they were in the middle of drawing.

[–] MightyGalhupo@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago

Yes, I have seen that first hand. Crayons too.

[–] vithigar@lemmy.ca 32 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Aren't those things like the size of a fist? How long did she wash it for?!

[–] usualsuspect191@lemmy.ca 25 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I'm guessing it just lost all of the desirable texture of the crystals

[–] BobbyNevada@discuss.tchncs.de 17 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Im thinking she either just ran hot water over it, or decided to let it soak, only to come back to sea water in her sink.

[–] Tangent5280@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago

lmao reminds me of that raccoon with cotton candy

my ass is installing linux on the first machine capable of having linux installed on it.

You are not safe, there is nothing you can do to stop me.

Nobody has ported Doom to a Himalayan salt lamp.
Yet.
This is your opportunity!

Your tinder date brings you into their home. While they are having a shower, you grab their laptop to install Linux mint cinnamon on it, but the Ventoy ISO wont boot. The track pad is greasy and crusted up with yellow stuff. Screen hinge is cracked. You boot it up to get your bearings. Windows XP, service pack 1. No password. 1 GB RAM. 32 bit CPU. Super PC clean is running. Blatant malware. No antivirus in sight. Internet Explorer 6 lumbers to the foreground. Fifteen spyware toolbars visible. Popups start flooding the screen. You look at the desktop, its littered with zip files with random file names. The mouse cursor is a pirate with a wooden leg. The CPU fan loudens to an alarming volume even though there's no programs running that you can see.

Do you:

  • Continue and try to install a 32 bit version of linux

  • leave silently, unmatch them on tinder, and block their number

  • Leave, but not before performing a mercy killing on the laptop

leave, performing a mercy kill on the laptop.

No associate of mine is going to be using windows xp.

Had an annon grindr date try this on me once. Except I already had Linux on all my electronics. Hottest sex ever. Happily married for 6 years.

[–] NegativeInf@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago

More romantic that 99 prevent of my Grindr dates. Hard jealous.

are you sure you don't want to share an indirect kiss with all her past tinder dates?

[–] madmaurice@discuss.tchncs.de 5 points 1 year ago

Yes. I'm sure.

[–] tourist@lemmy.world 11 points 1 year ago (5 children)

Same. That lamp has absolutely been licked before. You don't know by whom and you don't know how recently. If you're at least a tiny bit of a germaphobe, those statements should frighten you.

[–] BarrelAgedBoredom@lemm.ee 19 points 1 year ago

The high salinity should take care of any bacteria in short order. It may not be clean, but there ain't no bacteria on it!

[–] bort@feddit.de 9 points 1 year ago

tiny bit of a germaphobe

iirc salt is a has antimicrobial properties. So if anything, then licking that salt, will reduce the germs in your mouth. So a true germaphobe would be all over that lamp

[–] 1rre@discuss.tchncs.de 7 points 1 year ago (1 children)

If you're a germaphobe then surely you should know that 100% salt is enough to yeet literally any microorganism to the back of beyond; in fact anything over 30% is

That lamp is more hygienic than your dinner plate, more than the inside of any food package and infinitely more than your hands even after you've just washed them

[–] tourist@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

well have you considered the fact that im stupid

[–] ArmoredThirteen@lemmy.ml 2 points 1 year ago

If everyone thought that way though the lamp would never get licked

Protip: If they have a lava lamp instead, you can take the lava lamp bottle out, unscrew the bottle cap and drink some lava lamp fluid.

A whole lot of thise lamps are in my area so I dont understand why we still have a hospital

[–] Senseless@feddit.de 5 points 1 year ago

You guys get dates? I only get ghosted..

[–] shalafi@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

But my salt lamp is in my bathroom.

[–] Ephera@lemmy.ml 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Hmm, now I wonder, if the lamp would slowly 'melt', from damp air condensing on it.
