@ii_infinitum @muetdhiver I feel like the equivalent for industrial lathes would be something like "This machine knows the difference between metal and flesh. It prefers flesh."
Show threadCassandrichFeb 27
@muetdhiver @mothninja Imagine having had ample technology to make it know and respond to the difference but instead putting all of the world's engineering resources into fancy new ways to scam people and destroy the planet and democracy.

@mothninja There’s a “done with this shit/disturbingly specific” sign I see fairly often IRL that keeps a tally count of how many cars have crashed at this one specific curve in the road. It warns drivers to slow down.

@BeamsAndBows wow. Bleak, but hopefully effective

@Oaktag @mothninja I was stuck in an elevator once in a US city I was visiting for work. I was in a building that had a name ("The <<insert name of big company here>> Tower"), and I didn't know the street address. Picked up the phone. Person on the other end asks me where I am. "Stuck in the elevator in Company Tower"
"Where's that?"
"Ummm, y'know, sort of downtown"
"No, I mean what's the street address?"

Turned out she was in a call centre in India, and neither of us had any idea where I was.

@Plumbert wow. How did the situation resolve? (Assuming you're not posting from an elevator in Company Tower, Unspecified Location)

@Oaktag

Show threadSarcastiCanadianMar 16
@mothninja It wasn't all that dramatic in the end. I called the person I was supposed to meet and explained where I was. He was able to find the street address, though it took him a minute because everyone thought of the building as <<company tower>>. The person at the call centre in India did something that I prefer not to think of as a remote reboot of the elevator and my journey continued. @Oaktag

@mothninja I saw this (unofficial) warning note at my uni once.
Translation from German:
"Attention!
Lift 2 is currently in a temporary modified state showing free falling behaviours (crf. free fall tower). Usage is advised only to people woth an affinity towards extreme accelarations.
The TÜV has conducted a safety check."

The sticker beneath says: "We can do anything. Except building. University construction office"

Show threadCarsten RaddatzMay 17
"Use the alarm, but do not become alarmed" is an odd request for someone stuck in an elevator. Let's hope no one ever had to find out how appropriate that advice is.

@mothninja the top middle one seems to have started off with the intention that it is an ordered list, and continues this feeling that it is an ordered list, then adds another item to the list which destroys the whole notion of it being an ordered list after all so we have to go back to the start of everything and life on earth and re-evaluate it all in the light of disclosed thought-thwarting
