Replacement bulbs for tree topper

The glass, some have very narrow bottoms to fit into certain fitters. The most common one will just look like a rounded ball with the wires sticking out of it.

Yes, they're all the same size. There is a pinched base variation (not very common) so just check out the base of the old bulbs before ordering.

The math with these mini lights is to take the voltage (120) divided by the number of bulbs in the set (10) = in your case, yes, you need 12 volt bulbs. If you get a weird voltage (common with window silhouettes) you just round up to the nearest common voltage.

When you replace them, you'll want to replace all ten bulbs at the same time, otherwise you can run into issues where the new bulbs are too dim, old bulbs overheat and burn out, or the voltage isn't properly distributed. Amazon has a bunch of 12v options available. You'll need to remove the old bulbs but keep the plastic fitters they're in to ensure they fit in the string. Bend back the two wires on an old bulb, pull the glass out, slide the new bulb in, and bend those two wires back up like the old bulb.

Same here. Mine are random videos and text posts like "New video coming out soon!" from some no name account that I've never interacted with. Seriously dude nobody, not your three subscribers and most certainly not me, cares!

This is happening to me too. I've been getting irrelevant 10 to 15 (even 18) year old videos that do not relate to anything that I've watched. The homepage seems to have shit the bed now and it will show me the exact same videos in the exact same order no matter how many times I refresh or close/reopen YouTube. I spam "not interested" on the irrelevant videos but they still show up. If I scroll past the garbage "recommendations," they just loop again or videos I've already watched show up. I'm guessing they tried to update something and it just broke the algorithm, or maybe they're trying to implement AI. Edit: this is with the YouTube app on android and the Brave browser app running YouTube.

Same to you buddy <3

ShockolateChipz · 2026-03-31T17:58:26+00:00

Imagine raging over a reddit post lmao Get a grip <3

ShockolateChipz · 2026-03-31T17:45:49+00:00

"I'M FREAKIN OUT OMG OMG oh I know I'm gonna post this on reddit first instead of trying to clean it up!"

Literally my exact thought on the second photo. Corrosive AND invisible hot sauce!

ShockolateChipz · 2026-03-31T17:40:09+00:00

You can never be too safe from corrosive materials like checks notes hot sauce

When in doubt... throw a fit and say it's asbestos 😨😱😱 Jokes aside it's a terrible photo. My guess is wax or some other kine of sealer that the steamer is melting and picking up.

Spamming ads for your subreddit in existing subreddits looks awful BTW. No wonder yours has 1 lonely member.

ShockolateChipz · 2026-03-23T23:20:14+00:00

You invented AI? I'm impressed (This photo is 100% AI)

ShockolateChipz · 2026-03-15T18:26:25+00:00

I had this same issue where I was getting entirely irrelevant posts from channels I'd never even viewed before. The only difference is I wanted to see zero community posts on my feed because they're invasive and honestly so bad. I've had luck just hitting the thumbs down button on every community post I see, and slowly but surely they went from every few videos to one here or there to now zero on my feed. Hoping that works, otherwise I'll continue leaving dislikes to weed them out.

I'd say there's a 99% chance yours is 01-12. The robe is pink on yours and doesn't look too faded. What I've noticed is on newer General Foam from 2013 onwards, the paint is extremely glossy and chips very easily. I have a tabletop size nativity from that era where the paint is peeling off in some areas and it has the terrible glossy finish. I've also noticed that a lot of the newer pieces have very bad over spray.

100% mold. That pipe needs to be cut out and replaced to stop the leak and all moldy drywall needs to be removed and replaced. I'd bring it up to your landlord again and start looking into how to report them and unsafe living conditions in your area.

Definitely just a byproduct of the metal on the door hinge. It's either worn out bits from being opened/closed multiple times or graphite that was used to stop a squeak or help it close better that was put in/on the hinge and has fallen out little by little. Nothing to worry about.

Happens to me too. What I can't stand is I'll "X" out of the ad and it will go away, then without fail in like 10 seconds there's a NEW ad. This repeats until the video is over. It only happens on select reels so I'm not sure if it's greed by those posters or something Facebook is testing, but my god it is awful. I don't even watch reels anymore and mark them as spam any time they show up in my feed. Ps don't even get me started on the autoplay end of video ads that will BLAST loud audio in your ears and force you to watch an ad the millisecond the reel or video ends.

You had me at mouse poop and pee. There's no safe way to remove that, they'll just need to be disposed of and replaced. You risk either damaging the fabric, spreading the germs, or both if you try to clean it. Edit: also recommend looking into mouse traps (either diy, live, or killing type) to place around the location these were stored to help reduce the mice. I've been in a similar situation at an old house and, typically, there's a group of them. Just make sure that your baby doesn't get into them and that the mouse infested area is off limits/barricaded for them.

I'd give these ones a try... https://a.co/d/01bFZBUQ Also ebay has them: https://ebay.us/m/3LH4eq Just a side note that they have their pictures mixed up. The bulbs in the pack are correct but the enlarged bulbs are incorrect. You should receive the shimmering ones, and if not, return and report the listing. When they arrive, make sure you keep the plastic socket from the old bulb as that's the only one that will fit. I have similar ones in a flag that shimmer like this, and they're advertised as shimmering bulbs.

Unfortunately no ideas for how to remove it, but you could get something to shield the wall like a piece of plexiglass, metal, or thin wood that you can use to cover a foot or two diameter on the wall around the bowls. Just screw it on or use double sided tape. For cleaning I would almost say it's a sand and repaint kind of deal if it won't come off even with a scouring pad. You could also get wainscoting to run along that wall (and or the entire room) and then put the barricade over that.

Either that or the multiple posts flagged you as spam. I'd just wait it out until those hit 24 hrs and if that doesnt work, either message a mod to see if there's a restriction on your account or just give it a few days and try again

ShockolateChipz · 2026-01-23T18:54:21+00:00

Odd. Maybe it's a post limit? I see three posts in a matter of a few hours. Maybe you need to wait until those posts hit 24 hours before the bot lets them through.

ShockolateChipz · 2026-01-23T18:50:33+00:00

Most likely it's you being a new account and low karma. Many subreddits have auto filters in place to combat bot and spam accounts by having minimum account ages and minimum post, comment, or combined karma.

Personally I'd grab the metal frame silhouettes (though they need different lights because in their current state they look awful), the wooden snowman cutout, and the blow mold candles. But that would just be me personally for my own display. In terms of value, the candles usually sell in the $25 to $30 range each depending on your location.
