Home Depot taking a stand against Woke masks.

Or some other stupid shit.

[-] UnderpantsWeevil@lemmy.world 12 points 6 days ago

Why would I shop at Home Depot if I didn't think guys with perfectly chiseled jaws and manicured nails worked there?

[-] aramova@infosec.pub 5 points 6 days ago

Description like that, someone may think you're looking for some Proud Boys.

[-] UnderpantsWeevil@lemmy.world 3 points 6 days ago

His neck isn't nearly beardy enough.

Stop the liberal anti wallcandy propaganda. It feels so good to eat the wall candy. It tastes exactly like cotton candy but it's available in my walls and my mattress

[-] Decoy321@lemmy.world 7 points 6 days ago

After all, if it wasn't delicious, why would they dye it that delicious pink?!?

[-] teije9 11 points 6 days ago

I remember often playing in construction sites as a kid, and we once found a roll of fiberglass. we just decided to sit on it and play with it (I found it funny how it tickled my skin) 😭😭

[-] Rin@lemm.ee 3 points 5 days ago

Man, this sounds like those russians who found a steaming (nuclear) rtg and decided to sit next to it for warmth and got radiation sickness.

The someone who wrote the text to image prompt, didn't know what goes into installing insulation.

Can't tell if the pic is AI or not, but your point stands and applies to a much larger issue with the slop being generated at a death-spiral pace across the internet.

Most of the people trying to replicate "stock photos" on the cheap have no clue what the subject is about or how it should look, so if some South Tanzanian family decide to make a few bucks pumping out content with help of their local internet cafe, they can generate the most professional pictures of people doing all kinds of activities. Pictures which get picked up by someone else somewhere else who is trying to make a guide or informational content, again for a few fast bucks. And this story repeats at all levels of human society at all levels because of capitalism. Every time, something is lost, some detail missed, some cultural context glossed over, and this is how we lose human history.

And eventually, inevitably, one way or another, humans.

[-] the_crotch@sh.itjust.works 11 points 6 days ago

It's an ad. Ads were slop long before AI.

[-] EightLeggedFreak@lemmy.world 2 points 5 days ago* (last edited 5 days ago)

Stock photo creation has always had the problem of not knowing what the subject matter is supposed to look like. Take a look at desktop computer assembly/maintenance or medical stock photography. The newer problem is that it's happening faster; more laypeople are able to produce more incorrect stock photos.

[-] chrischryse@lemmy.world 1 points 6 days ago

Clearly AI look at his hands

[-] Korhaka@sopuli.xyz 1 points 6 days ago

What is wrong with it other than lacking mask, and probably overalls?

[-] desktop_user 1 points 6 days ago

gloves, the part where you don't want fibers in your hand.

[-] Zorg 7 points 6 days ago

It's kinda itchy, but modern glass-wool might irritate your skin and lungs, but afaik there aren't any know health risks in handling it.

[-] driving_crooner@lemmy.eco.br 7 points 6 days ago

That some big ass bacon.

[-] Mubelotix@jlai.lu 3 points 6 days ago

If you are going to use reddit at least block the ads with revanced

[-] Juliee@lemm.ee 1 points 6 days ago* (last edited 6 days ago)

There are more nasty things you ingest daily. the most healthy people die early because of simply bad genes while some smoking couch potatoes rapists live to 100 years old

We need some cope though and semblance of control hence existence of religion, nutrition ‘science’ and rumba. People brains ain’t made to handle the raw reality

So you can feel good and safe doing bullshit exercises up until the last day before random heart failure

There is no scorn or contempt here don’t get me wrong it’s all fine as long as we feel good in my opinion. I wouldn’t think of anyone who doesn’t raw dog reality as a lesser being it’s simply impossible to function without some kind of copium mechanism for fragile existence whether it is wellbeing coaching, technobrosing, mysticism or Christianity all fulfills same purpose

It’s much better for you as a mortal to adopt one of them, just pick one and not handicap yourself with existential crisises every evening cause that’s burden we aren’t made to handle

[-] bss03@infosec.pub 5 points 6 days ago

Nihilistic optimism or bust.

I'm still working on the optimism.

[-] Juliee@lemm.ee 3 points 6 days ago* (last edited 6 days ago)

Optimism comes easier when you have all the real estate you will ever need. I imagine if you are struggling it would be hard to find some kind of solace

[-] partial_accumen@lemmy.world 201 points 1 week ago

"Hmm, our focus group revealed that showing the 'home owner' having to wear PPE made them think the work was dangerous. So lose the PPE for the ads."

[-] grue@lemmy.world 134 points 1 week ago

That sounds extremely plausible.

[-] ragebutt@lemmy.dbzer0.com 70 points 1 week ago

More like the focus group thought the masks were “super gay fauci shit” so home depot went with “guy wearing $2 safety glasses that don’t even have a dust seal”

There's more, this guy is a rebel.

[-] MissJinx@lemmy.world 56 points 1 week ago

This dudes hands in the end of the day

[-] SorryQuick@lemmy.ca 9 points 6 days ago

Modern mineral wool is actually way better than that. I recently bought and installed some that was advertised as “really soft” and without gloves or masks, at the end of the day I couldn’t feel an itch. Of course good airflow during installation always makes a huge difference. I would 100% wear a mask in an attic though.

[-] atlas@sh.itjust.works 8 points 6 days ago

there's also a massive difference in mineral wool and fiberglass. i'll take working with mineral wool/rock wool over fiberglass any day

[-] nichtburningturtle@feddit.org 47 points 1 week ago

The guys on the bottom are just weak. Can't even handle a tiny bit of isolation inside them.

[-] wise_pancake@lemmy.ca 21 points 1 week ago

Im 40% insulation.

[-] Lemmyoutofhere@lemmy.ca 17 points 1 week ago

Love 100% isolation.

"Well, it seems his lungs are completely filled with Owens Corning fiberglass insulation. One third of his body weight is Owens Corning fiberglass insulation. But don't worry, he won't burn in hell... thanks to all that Owens Corning fiberglass insulation."

[-] Duranie@leminal.space 18 points 1 week ago

Crematoriums hate this one trick!

[-] Gobbel2000@programming.dev 35 points 1 week ago

Ads disguising themselves as regular posts (e.g. the "LPT") is bad. It gets worse when someone screenshots and reposts the ad, presumably even for free. But why does the R****t ad make it all the way to Lemmy!??

[-] sad_detective_man 28 points 1 week ago

I'm glad people are talking about what a bullshit trash hole of an ad platform that site is. but it definitely would be funny if OP blacked out the brands in the image just out of spite

While this definitely is bad, I think people tend to be a bit unreasonable about this stuff.

Fiberglass is not asbestos, and by the way, asbestos is not uranium.

Do wear the proper PPE, yes, but also don’t be neurotic about it. Even full-time asbestos miners don’t always get related cancers. If you removed some without knowing, studies show you’ll be fine. Your body can and does eliminate asbestos, albeit very slowly.

And again, fiberglass is not asbestos, and doesn’t cause mesothelioma. It’s still not recommended to breathe it in, especially not on the regular, but you don’t need to live in fear of it.

[-] PlaidBaron@lemmy.world 6 points 6 days ago

You ever get fiberglass in your skin? Shit sucks.

[-] termaxima@programming.dev 4 points 6 days ago

Thankfully no, I do wear gloves and a mask when I’m handling this stuff ! Im just saying it’s not going to kill you.

[-] OhNoMoreLemmy@lemmy.ml 3 points 5 days ago

How have you managed not to get fibreglass on your skin when handling it?

I used to install it professionally, and even with goggles, a mask, and overalls tucked into your socks and gloves, that shit gets everywhere.

[-] termaxima@programming.dev 3 points 5 days ago

I’m pretty sure I just haven’t handled large enough quantities of it for that to happen. I’ve never installed it myself, I’ve only had to take it down for minor roof repairs, and put it back if afterwards.

[-] altphoto@lemmy.today 18 points 1 week ago

A little unrelated but still related... I went to the JohnDepo this weekend to get some 2X4...yeah they still look good from far away but every single stick is warped, wet, splintered and such. But this time what really stroke me was that it was Saturday morning 9am and all shelves with the 2x4x10' and 8' were full to the top.

You know what that means if you know what it means. But let me say it: Nobody's buying! Nobody's working on a weekend project or house extensions or improvements. My 500k house now sits a few streets away from a 2mil dollar house. Like there's absolutely nobody who would want a house in my neighborhood for 2million. C'mon! There's just no way, no how. It boggles the mind that they even finished the stupid thing and put that price on it.

Either asbestos hands or maybe AI generated category images?
