If this makes you giggle, that’s great. If it offends you, then please move on. And, if it reminds you of a certain place, maybe the diplomatic thing to do is just keep that to yourself.
Insert in to the question any of the following problem topics:
The Load, sizing, lube vs PC, slugging vs pound casting, melting vs smelting, wax vs sawdust, hot plate vs dipping, convection vs lava rocks, the current price of primers, is Bullseye properly categorized as “Magic Dust” or “Faerie Powder”, etc...
QUESTION: How many people does it take to change a lightbulb in a Facebook group?
ANSWER:
1 to change the light bulb and to post that the light bulb has been changed.
14 to share similar experiences of changing light bulbs and how the light bulb could have been changed differently.
7 to caution about the dangers of changing light bulbs.
17 purists who use candles and are offended by light bulb discussions.
6 to argue over whether it's 'lightbulb' or 'light bulb'. Another 6 to condemn those 6 as stupid.
22 to tell THOSE 6 to stop being jackasses.
2 industry professionals to inform the group that the proper term is 'lamp'.
15 know-it-alls who claim they were in the industry, and that 'light bulb' is perfectly correct.
249 to post meme's and gif's (several are of someone eating popcorn with the words added, “I’m just here for the comments.”)
19 to post that this page is not about light bulbs and to please take this discussion to a light bulb page.
11 to defend the posting to this page saying that we all use light bulbs and therefore the posts are relevant here.
12 to post “F.”
8 to ask what “F.” means.
16 to post it means ‘Following' and then explain you can choose to follow by going to the 3 dots at the top right, instead of typing ‘F.’
3 to say "can't share"
2 to reply "can't share from a closed group"
36 People to post pics of their own light bulbs.
15 People to post "I can't see S$%^!" and use their own light bulbs.
6 to report the post or PM to an admin because someone said "S$%^!"
4 to say "Didn't we go through this already a short time ago?".
13 to say "Do a search on light bulbs before posting questions about light bulbs".
1 to bring politics into the discussion by adding that (insert politician of choice) isn't the brightest bulb. This usually takes place within the first three comments.
50 more to get into personal attacks over their political views.
5 admins to ban the light bulb posters who took it all too seriously.
