Changing lightbulbs on BajaNomad
Too funny to keep to myself...
I saw this on another group and had to share.#
Think of the poor admins 🤦🏼♀️when posting in groups. Gave me a good laugh anyway🤣
Q: How many group members does it take to change light bulb ?
———-
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.
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 jerks.
5 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.
49 to post memes and gifs (several are of Michael Jackson 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.
24 to discuss the merits of LED/swirly fluorescent light bulbs
44 to claim LED and fluorescent bulbs will kill you.
12 to post F.
8 to ask what F means.
7 to post 'Following' but there's 3 dots at the top right that means you don't have to.
15 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$%^!" and use their own light bulbs.
6 to report the post or PM an admin because someone said "f÷×$"
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".
5 admins to ban the light bulb posters who took it all too seriously.
1 late arrival to comment on the original post 6 months later and start it all over again.
20 to give up on fb and take their dogs for a walk instead.*****
And then somebody announces they are leaving the group over the light bulb post, and someone replies back that this isn't an airport so you don't need
to announce your departure.
reality\'s never been of much use out here...

no warning about spy sensors in new lightbulbs from China (or deep state)?

No need to talk crazy stuff! Why would they go to all the trouble when we already gladly carry a tracking and listening device that reports on
everything we do?
A life of fears leads to a death bed of regrets.
Find someone who will take care of you, and take care of them.

If you get Sentry the light bulb changes itself!

The light has to want to change, and if it is unwilling to make the effort, I would replace it!
If you are not living on the edge, you are taking up too much space!

Don't forget the 5 who manage to turn the lightbulb thread into something political, and the next 10 who counter with their opposing political views
on lightbulbs. And the 1 who calls them "bulbtards".
