I used to work in a new age shop that sold rock salt lamps. A woman came in one time to complain about the lamp she bought.

Woman: My salt lamp was dusty and dirty.

Me: Okay...

W: So I took the rock salt off the base.

Me: Hmm?

W: And I washed it with hot soapy water.

Me: Ah.

W: And it just dissolved!

Me: Yep, it's salt.

W: I want a refund.

Me: laughs.

This has me wondering if art supply stores have people coming in complaining that their pencil ran out of lead when they were in the middle of drawing.

Aren't those things like the size of a fist? How long did she wash it for?!

[-] usualsuspect191@lemmy.ca 25 points 9 months ago

I'm guessing it just lost all of the desirable texture of the crystals

[-] BobbyNevada@discuss.tchncs.de 19 points 9 months ago

Im thinking she either just ran hot water over it, or decided to let it soak, only to come back to sea water in her sink.

I feel bad for people who have never licked a Himalayan Salt Lamp.

[-] SatansMaggotyCumFart@lemmy.world 44 points 9 months ago

Yum.

Skin cells, dust mite shit and animal hairs.

Oh boy wait until you hear about breathing.

[-] SatansMaggotyCumFart@lemmy.world 28 points 9 months ago

I find breathing to be better than not breathing.

Not licking the Himalayan salt lamp does not have the same effect.

Yeah but you can breath any time. This might be your last chance to lick that lamp EVER

[-] SatansMaggotyCumFart@lemmy.world 8 points 9 months ago

It might be the last chance to try to insert the Himalayan salt lamp into your dick hole too.

Smell is based mostly on particulate. Anything you inhale gets at least partly broken down and absorbed.

Thus, if you smell a fart, at least some small part of your body is metabolising someone else's shit.

Yeah licking random objects in your house is a little unsanitary.

Thanks SatansMagottyCumFart

Why does it never taste like salt?

And why do I keep trying?!?

I think you got a dud. It absolutely should taste salty

[-] KillingTimeItself@lemmy.dbzer0.com 56 points 9 months ago

my ass is installing linux on the first machine capable of having linux installed on it.

You are not safe, there is nothing you can do to stop me.

Your tinder date brings you into their home. While they are having a shower, you grab their laptop to install Linux mint cinnamon on it, but the Ventoy ISO wont boot. The track pad is greasy and crusted up with yellow stuff. Screen hinge is cracked. You boot it up to get your bearings. Windows XP, service pack 1. No password. 1 GB RAM. 32 bit CPU. Super PC clean is running. Blatant malware. No antivirus in sight. Internet Explorer 6 lumbers to the foreground. Fifteen spyware toolbars visible. Popups start flooding the screen. You look at the desktop, its littered with zip files with random file names. The mouse cursor is a pirate with a wooden leg. The CPU fan loudens to an alarming volume even though there's no programs running that you can see.

Do you:

  • Continue and try to install a 32 bit version of linux

  • leave silently, unmatch them on tinder, and block their number

  • Leave, but not before performing a mercy killing on the laptop

Nobody has ported Doom to a Himalayan salt lamp.
Yet.
This is your opportunity!

Had an annon grindr date try this on me once. Except I already had Linux on all my electronics. Hottest sex ever. Happily married for 6 years.

There's a decent chance that's still the salt lamp.

I would rather check under the bed in case there are knives.

[-] HeyThisIsntTheYMCA@lemmy.world 32 points 9 months ago

Yeah if there are no knives we ain't fuckin

If you go to someone's house and they don't have an elaborate and named knife collection that they're oddly cagey about, don't fuck them

[-] HeyThisIsntTheYMCA@lemmy.world 8 points 9 months ago

Why would I be cagey about my odd, elaborate and named knife collection? I've had most of those knives longer than I've known my wife. They're great. Not very much blood at all.

[-] RealFknNito@lemmy.world 8 points 9 months ago

Gold karambit means she's wife material

[-] HerbalGamer@sh.itjust.works 9 points 9 months ago

are you sure you don't want to share an indirect kiss with all her past tinder dates?

Same. That lamp has absolutely been licked before. You don't know by whom and you don't know how recently. If you're at least a tiny bit of a germaphobe, those statements should frighten you.

[-] BarrelAgedBoredom@lemm.ee 22 points 9 months ago

The high salinity should take care of any bacteria in short order. It may not be clean, but there ain't no bacteria on it!

[-] bort@feddit.de 10 points 9 months ago

tiny bit of a germaphobe

iirc salt is a has antimicrobial properties. So if anything, then licking that salt, will reduce the germs in your mouth. So a true germaphobe would be all over that lamp

[-] 1rre@discuss.tchncs.de 8 points 9 months ago

If you're a germaphobe then surely you should know that 100% salt is enough to yeet literally any microorganism to the back of beyond; in fact anything over 30% is

That lamp is more hygienic than your dinner plate, more than the inside of any food package and infinitely more than your hands even after you've just washed them
