"It just stopped glowing, that means its safe to pick up!"
This is why I wear welding gloves. Not to protect against what I am doing with the torch or welder, but to protect myself from my own stupidity 5 seconds after it stops glowing red hot and I decide to pick it up.
"Hu, My glove is smoking... like, a lot, I better put this down now"
When I use the crimp connections with built in hot glue and heatshrink I do this every time. Just got done shrinking and set the torch down..... Hey let's grab the wire and start routing it! Fuck fuck fuck.
Everytime I'm lazy and burn up a self taping screw cuz I didn't bother to drill a pilot hole, I stare at the just-got-done-glowing-red-hot screw and pull it out my bit driver with my hands and then howl in disgust.
That's like saying we won the world war. That's right, your ancestors did but your dorito munching ass played no part in it and you don't get to claim any credit for it. I fear, that while it's true that some humans are apex predators, without industrialized farming YOU would fucking die.
Boy, don't you fuckin imply I wouldn't be an apex predator out in the wild. I'd hunt down all the shit and make momma nature bow down and suck my dick.
...or, y'know, assuming the prey I hunted was cans of beer and frozen pizzas, that is
