Home Depot taking a stand against Woke masks.
Or some other stupid shit.
Why would I shop at Home Depot if I didn't think guys with perfectly chiseled jaws and manicured nails worked there?
Description like that, someone may think you're looking for some Proud Boys.
His neck isn't nearly beardy enough.
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) 😭😭
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
After all, if it wasn't delicious, why would they dye it that delicious pink?!?
The someone who wrote the text to image prompt, didn't know what goes into installing insulation.
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.
Stock photo creation has always had the problem of not knowing what the subject matter is supposed to look like. Take a look at desktop computer assembly/maintenance or medical stock photography. The newer problem is that it's happening faster; more laypeople are able to produce more incorrect stock photos.
It's an ad. Ads were slop long before AI.
What is wrong with it other than lacking mask, and probably overalls?
gloves, the part where you don't want fibers in your hand.
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.
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.
You ever get fiberglass in your skin? Shit sucks.
Thankfully no, I do wear gloves and a mask when I’m handling this stuff ! Im just saying it’s not going to kill you.
How have you managed not to get fibreglass on your skin when handling it?
I used to install it professionally, and even with goggles, a mask, and overalls tucked into your socks and gloves, that shit gets everywhere.
I’m pretty sure I just haven’t handled large enough quantities of it for that to happen. I’ve never installed it myself, I’ve only had to take it down for minor roof repairs, and put it back if afterwards.
That some big ass bacon.
"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."
That sounds extremely plausible.
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”
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".
Folks, is staying alive gay?
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.
fellas is it gay to not die
There's more, this guy is a rebel.
This dudes hands in the end of the day
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.
there's also a massive difference in mineral wool and fiberglass. i'll take working with mineral wool/rock wool over fiberglass any day
The guys on the bottom are just weak. Can't even handle a tiny bit of isolation inside them.
If you are going to use reddit at least block the ads with revanced
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.
Yeah fam if you haven't already you should get your lungs screened. Asbestos and insulation can cause some really bad stuff
The time of exposure was low. Asbestos was also outside and unbroken.
Insulation was only 1 attic.
Mineral wool is quite safe. Some of the old stuff (pre-1960s) had asbestos or problems with being flammable but the new stuff gets checked for size and how much fiber goes into the air and so on (the answer is very little). Like paint it is one of the things that harmed people and science and regulation got us better products.
That dude's hands are gonna itch though.
"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."
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!??
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
In this case its more like an anti-ad once OP posted it here, as its showing the incompetence of the company.
It’s ok, you can say Reddit.
just don't use the hard R
Can't figure out if that would be ahddit or weddit.
