It should be noted that when you make reports, it is your responsibility to provide rational reasoning why something should be removed. Saying it simply breaks community rules is not always good enough.
Note: This is not a rule, but a helpful suggestion.
When posting images, you should strive to add alt-text for screen readers to use to describe the image you're posting:
Another helpful thing to do is to provide a transcription of the text in your images, as well as brief descriptions of what's going on. (example)

The Jeopardy host stands in front of a puzzle that reads: IS THIS YOUR FL_SHLIGHT?
In the lower right hand corner a Picture-in-Picture view shows a contestant tugging at his collar and sweating over how to answer. His score is $10,000
Is there enough of an audible difference between flash and flesh?
Nine times out of ten it's an electric razor, but every once in a while... it's a dildo. Of course company policy is never to imply ownership in the case of a dildo. We have to use the indefinite article: a dildo, never your dildo.
-- Fight Club
I hate those damn naggers
"People who annoy you"
That is simple, Fleshlight is a product and would be an uppercase at the start while flashlight is lowercase at the start ... simple π
Not necessarily. Is fleshlight an actual brand or the general name of the product?Because if there's other brands all labeled as "fleshlight" then it's lower case.
Like dildo is lower case because that's the general name, there's no Dildo brand Dildo as far as I've seen.
lol I was making a bad joke about how it's all uppercase regardless so my advice is completely useless
you do have a point though ... we take name brands sometimes and put it into our regular lexicon many times I think xerox is a good example as well.
Xerox the first aid instructions about putting Vaseline under your Band-Aid and wiping away the excess with a Kleenex before securing with Bubble Wrap. Then you can return to playing Frisbee on your Jet Ski. Remember to bring your Thermos (you can secure it with Velcro and remind yourself with a Post It). Get all the trash to the Dumpster when you're done.
I'll write that down with a Biro.
Dude, I didn't realize how many of those were brands ... you blew my mind.
On wheel of fortune, all letters are upper case.
It's a brand.
Is this why we need the Γ¦?
That is indeed my flushlight!
The 'u' is already up there
Aw fuck.
fuck
So it is your fleshlight, then
i want to know how he got the question mark up there
If there is punctuation in a puzzle it is revealed immediately.
what is the problem with saying: is this your flashlight?
Not sure if joking or u really don't know what the other word is lol
I am too innocent
Look up what a flEshlight is
Is it too late to ask the host if the category is tools, or toys?
Toy flashlight, or?
Um flashlight? That's what Americans call torches, right? Even though they don't flash and are usually a constant beam...
In the early days of flashlights they would flash them on and off to extend battery life.
U really don't know the other possibility?
I am aware of it, it isn't something I'd think of without prompting though.... why is it that guy's first thought? π€
Why isn't it your first thought??? What is wrong with you?
Category: Questions you don't want to be asked after a crunch in the dark
I'd like to buy a vowel
One of those βemphasis can be placed on any wordβ sentences.
Here I was about to suggest that there might be a water-saving Welsh toilet product spelled "flwshlight", but they spell "flush" as "fflysi...", (which is basically a borrowing from English with Welsh orthography) so "flwsh" would be highly non-standard (and frankly smacks of a clueless Saxon aping their language... which is fairly apt as it happens, given this comment.)
