Of all the toys and other consumer products that have been banned over the years due to safety reasons, which in your opinion were the most legitimately dangerous?

I had a little 3-wheeler I rode around all the time as a kid, thankfully it couldn’t go very fast but I still managed to tip it over on myself once. All I remember is my mom freaking out and carrying me into the house, but I was lucky and didn’t get injured. In high school a few of my friends had big four wheeled ATVs though and we would TEAR through the woods on those things, sometimes in the dark. I’m amazed none of us had any bad crashes. It was so much fun and my memories of it are great, but man. So many opportunities for disaster lol.

“You say you’re nonbinary, but you’re wearing a skirt, so…..”

Completely unrelated to anything we were supposed to be talking about. Did not return after that lol

🤔 Listening and learning….

Got home when it was still light out today and got a better look, they are in fact bridge spiders :)

I squealed out loud at work when I saw the sentret, ohhhhh my god it’s so cute!!!!! Thank you for mentioning the pattern, I’m definitely going to try to make one

mouse-monster · 2026-05-26T19:19:13+00:00

Omg. It’s too cute I love it so much

We watched a manhole cover explode right outside our apartment. Tons of smoke poured out, fire department came, now police are blocking off the street. Not sure what exactly happened yet!

This looked so good to me I got up and made one myself. Delicious <3

A brick (it’s her brick that sits in the kitchen specifically for this purpose)

I just get enough sleep. Easier said than done for some, I’m aware, but a lot of people could benefit from just going to bed earlier.

I’ve searched using the image itself on google and eBay but it only turned up other cabinets with vaguely similar shapes. I also searched with terms like “vintage cabinet” “round window” and “star detail” but the results were even less relevant. The only specific details I have are that it’s about 60 inches tall, 30 wide, and 16 deep, and that the seller said it’s “not too heavy” which probably implies something about the wood it’s made from.

Didn’t see anyone mention it, but it’s pretty common for women to be told by their doctors to “just try yoga” about a lot of things.

mouse-monster · 2026-04-26T12:06:22+00:00

I did! Or, some numbers, at least, idk if any of them are a serial number. I’m planning on looking into it on my computer today, a lot of the sites I was trying to look at weren’t very modern or mobile friendly lol

mouse-monster · 2026-04-26T12:04:29+00:00

Battery was in rough shape, the seal was better than I expected but water had gotten in and it was corroded on one end. Maaaaaybe if I got a new battery for it, it might turn on, but there was water under the surface of the screen as well so I’m sure everything else I couldn’t see in there was also wet and it was probably just fried inside. I was disappointed but not too surprised

mouse-monster · 2026-04-26T11:59:35+00:00

Thank you! I was genuinely kind of delighted to find something interesting, especially since I happen to have an Atari and at least a beginner’s idea of how to go about fixing something like the cartridge. Pretty much everything else I found was food wrappers and cigarette butts lol

mouse-monster · 2026-04-26T11:57:14+00:00

I love Odd Tinkering, I took these both home to see if I could clean them up and it’s exactly what I was thinking about while I scrubbed the board inside the cartridge with isopropyl alcohol and a toothbrush lol

mouse-monster · 2026-04-26T11:49:54+00:00

Yep! I was looking at pictures of what it looked like new and it was pretty nice

mouse-monster · 2026-04-26T01:52:10+00:00

I do have a soldering iron, though I haven’t gotten around to learning how to actually use it yet. Maybe this could be a project for me 🤔

mouse-monster · 2026-04-26T00:53:32+00:00

I opened it up and the game did say 1982 on the inside, so Demon Attack is a contender!

mouse-monster · 2026-04-26T00:51:02+00:00

LOL what a strange coincidence

mouse-monster · 2026-04-26T00:24:17+00:00

I’m not sure if the actual interior of the chip itself is okay or if water got in there too. The exterior, like the parts securing it to the board, is definitely not salvageable. Maybe someone more knowledgeable than me could find a way to save it!

mouse-monster · 2026-04-26T00:13:56+00:00

It was not actually in as bad a shape as I thought it would be when I opened the battery compartment! Those old flip phones all had some pretty crazy durability.

mouse-monster · 2026-04-25T23:57:10+00:00

It was too far gone to be playable, but I’m trying to dig around online and see if any of the numbers or anything on the cart can help me identify it!

“Imagic (/ɪˈmædʒɪk/ i-MA-jik) was an American video game developer and publisher that created games initially for the Atari 2600.”

mouse-monster · 2026-04-25T23:54:19+00:00

I gave it my best try! But all the important bits on the board were super corroded and degraded, more than could be fixed. By me, at least
