You unlocked an old memory of mine.
This does not apply to me.
The house where I was growing up had wooden beamed ceilings so these wouldn't really work. They're ideal for houses with white drywall ceilings where they'll blend in perfectly during the day, and also because houses with drywall ceilings have smooth continuous surfaces to apply them to.
We put these on those awful popcorn ceilings.
The bigger issue isn't just if they'll stick to the beams but if they'll look at all good when they do. I'm betting they'd look really ugly stuck to those old darkened wood beams.
We applied these to painted wooden planks. You just need enough surface area for them to stick to and you're golden
The beams in that house weren't painted, they were just bare wood (maybe stained). They might have stuck to them still but it probably would've looked ugly and been very noticeable since it was also darkened with age.
ah, yeah maybe not
Still do 😎
is it GlUwU or GlueWu (because sticking them stars to the ceiling) or GlowU or
I saw since in a store and thought about buying them.
And we put them in real constellations too!
And the 9 planets, you know, when Pluto was still cool.
yk i guess pluto was considered cool because it's the only planet discovered by an american, that makes the americans extra proud of it or sth
It's an age thing. Being taught one thing and having it changed seemingly arbitrarily bothers some people. Most Americans don't know Pluto was discovered by an American. Afaik if we kept Pluto as a planet then we would have to make room for Eris, Makemake, Haumea, Ceres etc.
I had the stars but I also had a bunch of other space themed stuff too. I think it was something like this. I don't think we used the super big stars though.
Does having them on my walls count? I only had them there, not on the ceiling (thanks sand paint)
Wasn’t allowed, lest they damage the paint coming off later. My dad was (and is) a stick in the mud.
oh no the paint! won't somebody do something! 😮
I know right? Of all of the home improvement problems, paint is one of the easiest to fix.

Moderator Guidelines
Moderator Guidelines
- Don’t be mean to users. Be gentle or neutral.
- Most moderator actions which have a modlog message should include your username.
- When in doubt about whether or not a user is problematic, send them a DM.
- Don’t waste time debating/arguing with problematic users.
- Assume the best, but don’t tolerate sealioning/just asking questions/concern trolling.
- Ask another mod to take over cases you struggle with, if you get tired, or when things get personal.
- Ask the other mods for advice when things get complicated.
- Share everything you do in the mod matrix, both so several mods aren't unknowingly handling the same issues, but also so you can receive feedback on what you intend to do.
- Don't rush mod actions. If a case doesn't need to be handled right away, consider taking a short break before getting to it. This is to say, cool down and make room for feedback.
- Don’t perform too much moderation in the comments, except if you want a verdict to be public or to ask people to dial a convo down/stop. Single comment warnings are okay.
- Send users concise DMs about verdicts about them, such as bans etc, except in cases where it is clear we don’t want them at all, such as obvious transphobes. No need to notify someone they haven’t been banned of course.
- Explain to a user why their behavior is problematic and how it is distressing others rather than engage with whatever they are saying. Ask them to avoid this in the future and send them packing if they do not comply.
- First warn users, then temp ban them, then finally perma ban them when they break the rules or act inappropriately. Skip steps if necessary.
- Use neutral statements like “this statement can be considered transphobic” rather than “you are being transphobic”.
- No large decisions or actions without community input (polls or meta posts f.ex.).
- Large internal decisions (such as ousting a mod) might require a vote, needing more than 50% of the votes to pass. Also consider asking the community for feedback.
- Remember you are a voluntary moderator. You don’t get paid. Take a break when you need one. Perhaps ask another moderator to step in if necessary.
