@kin Feels like missed chance, that the sign is not reading: The Floor is Lava
@fkrauthan @kin
😂bwaaaahaaaahaaa my whole childhood right there.
@fkrauthan @kin Netflix would sue ;)
@kin I can see my toddler climbing from chair to chair now shouting "THE FLOOR IS LAVA!"
@kin No, all I got was "hey if a nuke happens just duck under the desk or something you'll be fine… I dunno."
@kin what is adulthood if not just childhood with higher risks
@kin I love that a sign is actually required. You know someone’s going to think they can drive over it to get a selfie or just because they don’t want to go the long way around
@kin hup, because that first time we were told "don't touch that" and we did, we got the unfortunate nickname of Stumpy.
@kin
😂
What's not obvious is *for how long* you have to stay off it. At least a year would be a good starting point - personally if the signs were still telling me to keep off after a year I'd keep off.
@kin okay 👍🏻
Really? They have to put up SIGNS for that? OMG.
@kin but the Insta
Actually laughed out loud at this.
@kin it’s probably more of a “suggestion”
@kin not sure
@kin Alt-Text: “STAY OFF LAVA” is displayed on a portable sign in front of a fresh lava flow.
@kin running my kids through the course currently
END THE LAVA MANDATE! FREEDOM!
@kin you must not be GenX. Our parents told us it was the neighborhood pool and dropped us off every Saturday morning so we could “swim” in it. 🤪
@kin These signs exist because of the one person who needed to be told.
"You can't tell me what to do! Resist the tyranny! Rebel against the suppressors! Anarchy!"
I think we need more lava in our lives.
Have your seen this Netflix show? Cheesy but perhaps more entertaining than you'd think.
@kin I.. wow.. this.. is needed?!?
@kin FOOLS! You think I’m not worthy? Heh, little did you know I have been training for this moment for my entire life! 😎
@kin Girlfriend (now wife) ruined a perfectly good pair of flip flips that way.
@kin minecraft has prepared me well!
@kin This and 🟨 QUICKSAND AHEAD 🟨
@kin but sitting scrunched up in the hallway, shoulder to shoulder, waiting for cold war bombs in the 60s....
@kin I actually just laughed out loud at this
@kin love this! 😂
@kin 100,000 years ago we had these signs all over the place.
@kin I’ve been practicing for this my whole life.
@kin Gen X kids were trained to avoid quicksand. Hot quicksand? Duh!
@kin this cracked me up. Left lane drive. Right lane park. Stay off lava. 🙈
@kin people don’t recognize real danger any more. They live in a fantasy life.
@kin no because it's not the floor
@kin 😂😂😂 and that there people who simple didn’t learn.
@kin lol yes lol
@kin Is this in NJ?
@kin How did we survive before lawyers took over the world?!
yes we did
@kin https://www.wired.com/2013/06/why-it-is-possible-to-walk-on-a-lava-flow-but-you-still-shouldnt/
So depending on variables you could walk on lava 🤷♂️
@kin Is lava really all that dangerous? I mean, they put it in lamps.
@kin "i don't know why my shoes are melting..." someone out there, probably.
@kin I did, and apparently there's a widespread fear of lava among children.
@kin I'M READY
@kin :: cracks knuckles and pops neck back and forth ::
It's time. All those times falling off of tables, couches, chairs were not in vain! LoL 😂
@kin I can give it up whenever I want...
@kin Why not a sign saying "Lava Ahead" and let the people decide?
Ummm have you met humans?
Do not iron clothes while wearing.
Do not drive q-tip into your brain.
Remove plastic before heating.
@kin Things are different on the big island. People check their common sense in at the Hilo airport reception counter.
@kin somehow I think the stuff we were doing in our childhood was slightly lower consequence if we got it wrong 😉
