An all welcoming place for Queer Memes of all varieties! Just laugh, be chill, and report anything you feel violates the rules.

Partnered with the Gaywave Discord Server — Check out more here.

Rule 1 — Be Chill. This means everything from just be respectful to no bigotry or discrimination of any kind. That crap will be crucified on sight.

Rule 2 — Naming Structure. Try to keep to the general 'Queer_Irl naming structure. Replacing queer with something you feel might be more appropriate is totally fine.

Rule 3 — I wrote this but got nothing. I'm sure I'll come up with something to stick here eventually.

=========

Pssst. AI didn't write this. I just really like em-dashes. They're neat and good for formatting. Alt+0151 baby. Eat my entire ass.

I'm trying to imagine the situation where a flathead screwdriver stops a broken sink

Those crappy shut-off valves with the plastic oval handle; the plastic gets brittle and shatters in your hand (especially if the valve is a bit stuck so you force it) and now you can't turn the valve and your faucet has catastrophically failed so it's urgent and the valve can still be operated with a flathead.

That said, all the ones I've seen use a Phillips screw to hold the handle on and there's a flat section behind the handle you can put a wrench on to turn the valve, but maybe there's some that need a flathead.

Those valves require some torque, the concept of having to use a flathead screwdriver to turn it gives me anxiety

In the UK, the pipes under the sink that lead to the tap have valves with a slot in to turn them on and off. I don't know if it's the same in other countries.

Here in Germany, I mainly know this setup with two knobs you can turn by hand:

[–] supamanc@lemmy.world 4 points 1 week ago

Yeah, but a butter knife would turn one if those!

I'm trying to imagine a situation where my house is flooding, I know the problem and I know how to fix it but lack a tool so I use a dating app instead.

Also this tool is one of the most basic tools and there are many flat head like items around home that can often be used in an emergency.
