I remember often playing in construction sites as a kid, and we once found a roll of fiberglass. we just decided to sit on it and play with it (I found it funny how it tickled my skin) 😭😭

Home Depot taking a stand against Woke masks.

Or some other stupid shit.

[–] UnderpantsWeevil@lemmy.world 7 points 4 hours ago (1 children)

Why would I shop at Home Depot if I didn't think guys with perfectly chiseled jaws and manicured nails worked there?

[–] aramova@infosec.pub 3 points 3 hours ago (1 children)

Description like that, someone may think you're looking for some Proud Boys.

Stop the liberal anti wallcandy propaganda. It feels so good to eat the wall candy. It tastes exactly like cotton candy but it's available in my walls and my mattress

[–] Decoy321@lemmy.world 2 points 4 hours ago

After all, if it wasn't delicious, why would they dye it that delicious pink?!?

[–] 1234567ATEUP@lemmy.world 11 points 9 hours ago (2 children)

The someone who wrote the text to image prompt, didn't know what goes into installing insulation.

[–] Korhaka@sopuli.xyz 1 points 3 hours ago (1 children)

What is wrong with it other than lacking mask, and probably overalls?

[–] desktop_user@lemmy.blahaj.zone 1 points 2 hours ago (1 children)

gloves, the part where you don't want fibers in your hand.

[–] Zorg@lemmy.blahaj.zone 3 points 1 hour ago

It's kinda itchy, but modern glass-wool might irritate your skin and lungs, but afaik there aren't any know health risks in handling it.

Can't tell if the pic is AI or not, but your point stands and applies to a much larger issue with the slop being generated at a death-spiral pace across the internet.

Most of the people trying to replicate "stock photos" on the cheap have no clue what the subject is about or how it should look, so if some South Tanzanian family decide to make a few bucks pumping out content with help of their local internet cafe, they can generate the most professional pictures of people doing all kinds of activities. Pictures which get picked up by someone else somewhere else who is trying to make a guide or informational content, again for a few fast bucks. And this story repeats at all levels of human society at all levels because of capitalism. Every time, something is lost, some detail missed, some cultural context glossed over, and this is how we lose human history.

And eventually, inevitably, one way or another, humans.

[–] the_crotch@sh.itjust.works 7 points 5 hours ago

It's an ad. Ads were slop long before AI.

[–] chrischryse@lemmy.world -2 points 7 hours ago

Clearly AI look at his hands

[–] driving_crooner@lemmy.eco.br 6 points 8 hours ago

That some big ass bacon.

[–] Mubelotix@jlai.lu 3 points 8 hours ago

If you are going to use reddit at least block the ads with revanced

[–] termaxima@programming.dev 18 points 14 hours ago (1 children)

While this definitely is bad, I think people tend to be a bit unreasonable about this stuff.

Fiberglass is not asbestos, and by the way, asbestos is not uranium.

Do wear the proper PPE, yes, but also don’t be neurotic about it. Even full-time asbestos miners don’t always get related cancers. If you removed some without knowing, studies show you’ll be fine. Your body can and does eliminate asbestos, albeit very slowly.

And again, fiberglass is not asbestos, and doesn’t cause mesothelioma. It’s still not recommended to breathe it in, especially not on the regular, but you don’t need to live in fear of it.

[–] PlaidBaron@lemmy.world 2 points 2 hours ago

You ever get fiberglass in your skin? Shit sucks.

[–] ZILtoid1991@lemmy.world 12 points 16 hours ago (3 children)

It's not that they don't want to sell it to you, it's just they don't want to force you to wear protective equipment, so your employer can cheap out on it.

Also isn't Home Depot one of those very christian corpos in the US? If yes, then there's also a non-zero chance they think wearing protective equipment is "gay".

[–] pineapplelover@lemm.ee 6 points 8 hours ago

Folks, is staying alive gay?

[–] frezik@midwest.social 9 points 12 hours ago

One of the founders is a hardcore Trump guy, but he's not part of the company anymore. The company itself splits its donations between Democrats and Republicans. (That's one of the tricks of a two party system. You can split your donation in half and win either way.)

They're not overly Christian the way Jimmy Johns or Chick-fil-A are.

[–] hungryphrog@lemmy.blahaj.zone 6 points 12 hours ago

fellas is it gay to not die

[–] partial_accumen@lemmy.world 199 points 1 day ago (3 children)

"Hmm, our focus group revealed that showing the 'home owner' having to wear PPE made them think the work was dangerous. So lose the PPE for the ads."

[–] grue@lemmy.world 132 points 1 day ago

That sounds extremely plausible.

[–] ragebutt@lemmy.dbzer0.com 69 points 1 day ago

More like the focus group thought the masks were “super gay fauci shit” so home depot went with “guy wearing $2 safety glasses that don’t even have a dust seal”

There's more, this guy is a rebel.

This dudes hands in the end of the day

[–] SorryQuick@lemmy.ca 7 points 7 hours ago (1 children)

Modern mineral wool is actually way better than that. I recently bought and installed some that was advertised as “really soft” and without gloves or masks, at the end of the day I couldn’t feel an itch. Of course good airflow during installation always makes a huge difference. I would 100% wear a mask in an attic though.

[–] atlas@sh.itjust.works 5 points 5 hours ago

there's also a massive difference in mineral wool and fiberglass. i'll take working with mineral wool/rock wool over fiberglass any day

Oh for fuck sake is this another thing you have to wear a mask for?

My fucking dad I swear to god. He knows I got asthma. He had me install insulation as a kid and remove asbestos. I got fucking tinnitus from him giving me a drill and neither of us wearing hearing protection.

[–] ArmoredThirteen@lemmy.zip 54 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Yeah fam if you haven't already you should get your lungs screened. Asbestos and insulation can cause some really bad stuff

[–] Wanderer@lemm.ee 4 points 12 hours ago

The time of exposure was low. Asbestos was also outside and unbroken.

Insulation was only 1 attic.

Ads disguising themselves as regular posts (e.g. the "LPT") is bad. It gets worse when someone screenshots and reposts the ad, presumably even for free. But why does the R****t ad make it all the way to Lemmy!??

[–] SayJess@lemmy.blahaj.zone 13 points 20 hours ago (1 children)

It’s ok, you can say Reddit.

Can't figure out if that would be ahddit or weddit.

[–] sad_detective_man@lemmy.blahaj.zone 27 points 1 day ago (1 children)

I'm glad people are talking about what a bullshit trash hole of an ad platform that site is. but it definitely would be funny if OP blacked out the brands in the image just out of spite

[–] Spezi@feddit.org 8 points 18 hours ago

In this case its more like an anti-ad once OP posted it here, as its showing the incompetence of the company.

[–] weegee90@lemmy.world 74 points 1 day ago (1 children)

"Well, it seems his lungs are completely filled with Owens Corning fiberglass insulation. One third of his body weight is Owens Corning fiberglass insulation. But don't worry, he won't burn in hell... thanks to all that Owens Corning fiberglass insulation."
