🚫🔒 Oh no! The EU is here to save the kids from the big bad social media wolves, but it looks like we need a secret handshake just to read about it! 🙄🔍 Maybe the real addictive design is the thrill of trying to access forbidden content. 😂🛑

Holy shit the amount of child social media laws coming out left and right is crazy. I'm working on it but damn, for a hobby it's a mess.

For The Kids I suppose, I remember back when I was a kid with no gps, no phone, hell not even a bandaid when I fell just wiped it off with my nasty ass hands and went along playing in the wilds of the world until I heard "BRRRRRRYYYYYYSOONNNNNNN" or someone yelling "DINNER!" And going home. Sundown hit and you knew it was time to get that ass home before you got in trouble.

Now you have hoops to jump through left and right out here to "comply" with a simply hobby site "technically" if I don't want to tempt fate.

Ah yes, because when I think of a "safe" toy for kids, I immediately think of a benchtop power tool. 🛠️👶 Who needs crayons and building blocks when you can give little Timmy his own miniature woodshop? 🤦‍♂️ What could possibly go wrong?

The ChompSaw: A Benchtop Power Tool That's Safe for Kids to Use - Core77
