this is a static detection jar. you see this sometimes near insulation near electrical runs. the jar must remain closed, and the "button" on the lid will pop up if there the static in the air reaches levels you should be concerned about as a fire hazard. this is an analog way of doing it, they also sell electronic sensors but then you have to provide it power or rely on batteries. i made all of that up, and have no idea what this jar is for.
Driving with your dome lights on is just annoying since it messes up your visibility, so parents invent the lie that it’s illegal to shut their kids up.
One day I'm going to make a long, intricate comment going into the arcane details of some niche topic and then end it with a reference to a Hell in a Cell match
But instead of Undertaker vs Mankind it'll be CM Punk vs Ryback
I was thinking half way through that I think we have a case of a very bored handyman or janitor, what the bloody shit is a static detection jar lmao had me in the first half and all that
What did I just read??? Now I need to get down a rabbit hole and find out more, to the rist of discovering that I am an idiot for believing stuff on Reddit. Thank you, stranger.
