    I swear every time my spouse tries to use wd40 I have a stroke. We have several kinds of specific lubes for different situations ffs, all in the same easy to access bin, stop trying to use wd40 as a catch all super lube that’s not how it works.

    People don’t send letters much anymore but please don’t lick the envelopes. Just dip a finger in water. Just as easy, less germy, and doesn’t cause a lingering chemical taste.

    Nobody seems to understand how to use dental dams. Look it up, stay safe people.

        Yea, it’s called Water Displacement formula 40. A penetrating oil mixed with stuff. Not nearly as goid as grease

            Hmm, most my door hinges have a little plastic ring on them I assume to reduce squeaking. Sounds like I should switch away from grease for those. Didn’t realize this

    • Casually suggest using WD40 as lube for the next sexy time. When they say “what,” you can say “why not? You use it for everything else.” Maybe it’ll click.

      Of course, this advice may negatively impact this, and possibly several future potential sexy times, but it’s a small sacrifice if it keeps people from using god damned WD40 as a fucking lube.

        It’s so sad stamps don’t need to be licked anymore.

        Nothing beats a licked envelope followed by a stamp chaser.

          Do you let out an airy ‘aaah, yep’ and slap the envelope onto the table, too? I just kinda want to see someone exasperated and hunched over a USPS counter being like ‘another!’ as they pull letters out one at a time and the register worker hands them just a single envelope and stamp each time.

        I guess I could see them being tasty if you’ve got the palette of an 80 year old smoker who grew up eating poverty suspended in aspic.

      So… being one of those spouses who uses wd40 on everything. Do you have link to some easily understandable info on when to use the right lubricant?

        One easy rule of thumb is if you’re looking to lubricate something WD40 is never the correct choice. It’s not a lubricant, it’s for cleaning/breaking shit loose.

        Wd40 is good for preventing rust, and helping to get things that are seized moving again. If you want to lubricate a door hinge, something like 3 in 1 oil is a good choice.

          I have tmj and so my jaw can lock shut sometimes. WD40 can be used to quickly un-seize my jaw so I can get some proper lube in there and keep enjoying what’s on the other side of a dental dam.
