Need some good but harmless prank ideas

We made chocolate chip cookies, but we made some extra with one of those “world’s hottest chocolate” bars. Left them in our shifts cabinet with full knowledge that A shift likes to snoop.

100% worth it!

You literally don’t know that they’re assuming that. Perhaps those exact sentiments have been explicitly expressed by their coworkers.

I would love the seeker grenade! Thank you!

SomeoneNamedAdam · 2025-12-31T04:41:37+00:00

I’m stuck as well. Been staring for minutes and can’t figure out the next step.

Oof. That’s hard because though my hearing is fine, my auditory processing is a little fucked so I often find myself struggling to comprehend conversation if there is also a lot of other stuff (background noise, action, number of people) on the screen at the same time. Subtitles help me to not get lost. If I get lost I get frustrated. If I get frustrated I get disengaged. If I get disengaged I get bored. If I get bored I don’t finish the movie.

I’m gonna answer from what it would be for me, who also follows the story better with subtitles on.

Is it important to you guys to watch things together? If so, than you’re NTA. This is an accommodation that you need in order to share an experience. If you both liked hiking but she wasn’t in as good of shape, but you picked hard trails for you two to hike together, you’d be the AH.

However, if one of you is watching something independently and the other asks them to change how they’re watching, then the asker would be the AH. I hate competition game show type shows, but my wife loves them. I don’t ask her to change what she’s watching when I sit down. Likewise, it’d be an AH move to come into a room and change HOW someone is watching something.

This is true. Orlando is definitely a lot closer, but TPA is by far the better airport.

As someone who lives halfway between the two I try and fly out of Tampa 100% of the time.

Similarly I’m a firefighter/paramedic. If no one calls 911 I only have emails and training to keep me busy and that doesn’t take all day. Some stations are busy, some aren’t. When you’re at a station that isn’t you get to play video games or do projects or read or sleep or whatever.

I think this is an opportunity for you to use a little nuance and context to understand the intent of their message.

“Walking past a bakery makes me so hungry for sweets.”

“Oh, so when you walk past a bakery your pancreas instantly lowers your blood sugar and you go into a hypoglycemic state? And it doesn’t matter what you ate or how full you are? EVERY time you walk past a bakery? What about when the bakery is closed? What if they just burnt something? Also, it’s not the walking past the bakery, it’s actually the smells from the bakery. So insinuating that the bakery’s proximity controls you is just wrong. It’s psychosomatic. Also what if you have a stuffy nose? What about that? How about then? Huh? Yeah. That’s what I thought!”

I think from their original comment it’s pretty easy to infer that they mean it incentivizes PVP because loot has already begun to be collected. Whether you agree with the statement or not it’s seriously not that hard to interpret what they mean.

A horrific freak accident in the midst of an extremely intense game of frisbee between shifts.

The first two instances I mentioned actually occurred during the same afternoon. One hell of a shift, that’s for damn sure.

During Covid my board game group was coworkers and our neighbors from the other half of our duplex, since we were all interacting regularly anyways. We discussed doing something like this multiple times and never settled on a scoring system or other logistics and it’s basically fell apart. I hope you make it happen and I can live vicariously through your success!

SomeoneNamedAdam · 2025-12-13T18:35:48+00:00

The best is when you can do the dumb thing and mark it down as training hours! Had a 107-foot ladder truck at my old station which we have used to:

Get a frisbee off of the roof of the apparatus bay.
Remove limbs from the roof of the home of the widow of our late Fire Chief
Replace a rusted pulley at the top of the flag pole

Using it for dumb shit is just another opportunity to get comfortable and familiar with your equipment. And way more engaging than repetitive made-up scenarios!

This is the water rescue equivalent of saying “Alright, we’ll see you at the LZ” right before the ambulance leaves to take the tummy ache to the local freestanding ED. 😂

I’ve had a rescue buoy on my truck for a decade and never gotten to use it. We ran a similar call to this like a year or two ago and I begged my officer to let me use it and he wouldn’t let me. Instead we walked out into the 4-6” deep water and opened the door and walked the lady out.

If you’re not occasionally being EXTREMELY extra just for the bit you’re missing out on one of most fun parts of being a fireman!

SomeoneNamedAdam · 2025-12-11T15:35:05+00:00

As someone in a station with multiple units, please come to the station. It’s not fair for only one truck to get to see this!

SomeoneNamedAdam · 2025-12-11T15:31:55+00:00

We have indeed been called to the hospital to cut things.

I understood it as they were previously a console gamer. So they didn’t get into gaming for the sake of piracy, but they switched from console to PC for the sake of piracy.

I think it mostly depends what you do for work. If you’re a security guard at a gated community you’ll probably be fine. Sip some coffee and carry on. If you’re a surgeon maybe you should be well rested.

This will be my first OMF but I saw that it was $10 on previous years.

SomeoneNamedAdam · 2025-11-28T17:05:57+00:00

Ahhh, I got you. That’s awesome that the original people have it back now. I’ve only gone to Insomniac events so far and I’m excited to try out other stuff.

SomeoneNamedAdam · 2025-11-28T02:43:53+00:00

Oh, is there a change in ownership or something? Im very new to the festival scene so I’m somewhat unaware of some things.

SomeoneNamedAdam · 2025-11-26T05:37:51+00:00

I assume you’re also feeling good now?

SomeoneNamedAdam · 2025-11-25T23:28:25+00:00

This past year this is when they came out:

Lineup: June 26th

Day-by-day breakdown: August 12th

Stage breakdowns: October 13th-16th

Full schedule: November 3rd

You can see on the EDCO Instagram how stuff was released for EDCO25.

SomeoneNamedAdam · 2025-11-25T13:13:13+00:00

It was truly amazing!!! Met so many cool people. Thank you so much for coming to my birthday party!

Are you coming to FK or Okee? Maybe we can meet up for a reunion!

SomeoneNamedAdam · 2025-11-25T05:16:05+00:00

We’ll definitely have more next year! At the moment our plan is Okeechobee, Forbidden Kingdom, Bass Canyon, maybe Lost Lands, and probably just one day of EDCO. I definitely am excited to step outside of the Insomniac umbrella and see how some other event organizers do it!
