I ordered screwdrivers on ali express and they were like “you could pay for shipping, or you could pay $2 for this pack of 75 stickers and get free shipping.” It appears to be a leftovers pack of every “signboard” sticker the factory has ever printed, with absolutely no regard for what it actually says

@0xabad1dea got a link? I'm always looking for more inspiration for weird stuff to put on Unsafe Warnings

abadidea Jul 20, 2024

@gsuberland I tried to link it and it turned out to be a special deal generated only for me, you’ll have to attempt to keyword search it on Ali (try warning sign stickers)

@0xabad1dea dangit. I shall try though, thanks :)

@0xabad1dea I really need that one dead center. No one is ever reporting the cognitive, temporal, and memetic anomalies to me, so they never get fixed…

@grumpybozo @0xabad1dea
Same here. I worked out it was an SCP Foundation fandom thing, partly because the mostly hidden bit on the top left looks rather SCP logo-ish, partly because of the 'Keter' bit.

It is: there is a red version of it here. However, one problem is that we would presumably have to buy a screwdriver set as well to get free postage ;)

@0xabad1dea ...I'm kind of about it. Is there a listing for this or did they just chuck it in for you at checkout?

@0xabad1dea I love the juxtaposition of the giant No, Just No right under the legitimate MRI room warning plate

AMS Jul 20, 2024

@0xabad1dea Are the screwdrivers good?

abadidea Jul 20, 2024

@AMS considering the screwdrivers were also $2 they seem okay.

Dan Jul 20, 2024

@0xabad1dea these are kinda cool tho

mcc Jul 20, 2024

@0xabad1dea SCP site maintenance pack. I wonder what the lorem ipsum sticker is meant to help contain

Ongion 🥚🐞Jul 20, 2024

@mcc @0xabad1dea SCP-096?

mcc Jul 20, 2024

@Ongion @0xabad1dea hmm but then why the placeholder text?

EndlessMason Jul 20, 2024

@mcc
Lipsum is actually an aincent warding spell

@Ongion @0xabad1dea

mcc Jul 20, 2024

@EndlessMason @Ongion @0xabad1dea The typesetters are engaged in an occult conspiracy to protect the globe

Ongion 🥚🐞Jul 20, 2024

@mcc @EndlessMason @0xabad1dea plot twist: they're all actually SCP-4634

gkrnours Jul 20, 2024

@mcc @0xabad1dea the turbocharger warning is clearly a joke

ƒ Jul 20, 2024

@0xabad1dea Seems like the only type of people who order stickers are work safety people and douchebags.

abadidea Jul 20, 2024

@wasmitnetzen you can find other “these were obviously not all commissioned by the same customer” leftover sticker packs on ali such as “three hundred different startup and open source logos”

Glyph Jul 20, 2024

@0xabad1dea my favorite is “obsence language” but “no, just no” is a close second

Uli Kusterer (Not a kitteh)Jul 20, 2024

@0xabad1dea Looks like that's all their mis-prints ... so many typos 😅

Wortex17 Jul 20, 2024

@0xabad1dea don't forget to teach your kids about the dangers of trss🐍sspassing

RamenCatholic 🐢🌈Jul 20, 2024

@0xabad1dea LOL, worth it for the SCP sticker

Also, keep an eye out .. the 'Stickers are Cool People' may be coming for your collection.

StarkRG Jul 22, 2024

@RamenCatholic @0xabad1dea The appearance of the rare Lorem Ipsum in the wild is also a good score.

gudenau Jul 20, 2024

@0xabad1dea That's an absolute bargain.

Advanced Persistent Teapot Jul 20, 2024

@0xabad1dea I need that top right one as a patch to sew on to my shorts back pocket

Morgan ⚧️Jul 20, 2024

@http_error_418 @0xabad1dea I wanna put it on my wheelchair

SpaceLifeForm Jul 20, 2024

But you get to pay to take their trash off of their hands!

abadidea Jul 20, 2024

@SpaceLifeForm you seem to think I am not thrilled with these stickers. let me correct you: I am thrilled with these stickers

SpaceLifeForm Jul 20, 2024

No, that is not what I was saying.

You basically paid for their shipping cost, and you got a bonus pack of stickers.

When I was young, I would write letters to companies asking if they had any stickers.

An actual human would read the letter, and mail me stickers.

It cost us both a stamp and a bit of time.

Glowing Cat of the Nuclear Wastelands ☣Jul 20, 2024

@SpaceLifeForm @0xabad1dea One person's trash is another person's treasure. If both parties got something they're happy with, then what's the harm? They were able to move inventory that was taking up space and cover their shipping costs, and she got a bunch of random stickers which are a dopamine boost. Sounds like a win-win to me.

SpaceLifeForm Jul 20, 2024

@deathkitten @0xabad1dea

No harm in this case. But there are scam sales where the shipping cost is higher that the actual shipping cost or cost of product. Though, there may be an offer to get free shipping if you order two.

Doofus Canadensis Jul 20, 2024

@0xabad1dea ngl, that looks like a pretty awesome selection of stickers.

the vessel of morganna Jul 20, 2024

@0xabad1dea Wow, I want a grab bag of random stickers now. I'd put the right turn one on my fridge or something like that

HP van Braam Jul 20, 2024

@0xabad1dea you have NO IDEA how frickin jealous I am right now!

BoxOfSnoo Jul 20, 2024

@0xabad1dea I hate this trend on AliExpress. I tried to buy something for $3 with 8 think $3 shipping. Fine. But they wouldn’t let me check out without ordering more landfill. I bailed and paid $13 on Amazon and got it the next day.

yomimono, still on land Jul 20, 2024

@0xabad1dea best recommendation of ali express i’ve ever seen

Tabby Jul 20, 2024

@0xabad1dea this is glorious

Andy Herd Jul 20, 2024

@0xabad1dea i that do not disturb sign 👀

@0xabad1dea Awesome mix of serious & spoof by the looks of it. Good catch :)
Edit: phone predicted this for my first word: aesthetician

BrazMogu (i.e. Bruno Guedes)Jul 20, 2024

@0xabad1dea I love the one that still has Lorem Ipsum on it

Polly Waugh Jul 20, 2024

@0xabad1dea
My first thought was to use these to decorate a bathroom wall…

@PollyWaugh @0xabad1dea I could see them in some Hackerspace room

@0xabad1dea Any weird RFID circuits on the labels?

DerPumu (he/him)Jul 20, 2024

@0xabad1dea that NO JUST NO sticker would make it onto my laptop immediately

Ken Butler has moved Jul 21, 2024

@DerPumu @0xabad1dea it needs to be on a part of your laptop that can be gradually and silently revealed to the person you would like to say no to.

@0xabad1dea Warning! this vehicle makes wide Right Turns, and is Radioactive.

Russ Sharek Jul 20, 2024

Those are amazing.

If you're interested in trading for some other random weirdness, let me know. :)

@0xabad1dea I like the "NO JUST NO" and "Do Not Disturb" stickers!

plz scan them!

Garret Polk (masked)Jul 20, 2024

@0xabad1dea Priceless.

Tony Yarusso Jul 20, 2024

@0xabad1dea Much like when Amazon told me I could buy a fabric tape measure for $4, or 24 of them for $7. I can never remember where I put those, so…

draNgNon Jul 20, 2024

@0xabad1dea that's... awesome

Alesandro Ortiz 🇵🇷🏳️‍🌈Jul 20, 2024

@0xabad1dea The lorem ipsum warning: 💯

@0xabad1dea how much vodka and orange juice did you get?

Edmundo Ruiz Ghanem Jul 20, 2024

@0xabad1dea sit at your front door, sell them for ¢50 each. I’d buy one or two!

wlf_warren Jul 20, 2024

Well you could stick ALL of them out in front of your residence and confuse visitors

😵😕😖

😅

⚡️ axeshun ⚡️

@0xabad1dea ill give you $3 for them...if you ship for free?

AlexanderMars Jul 21, 2024

@0xabad1dea could you post a link to the screwdrivers?
