Just put a lift in your garage and oil changes are easy

It doesn't help when the location of the filter is where it is on my truck. Whether I'm laying on my back under it, or standing under it, I still can't fit my hand and a wrench up where the filter is located.

So. The Tide laundry pod thing.

By the time I was about 4-5 years old, I had it pretty down pat that laundry soap did not taste good, and that I shouldn’t eat it. Not a good source of taste or nutrition.

I do not blame the kids for doing this. The parents, on the other hand, need their asses kicked clear up to their shoulder blades for not teaching kids that YOU DO NOT EAT LAUNDRY SOAP, PODS, OR ANYTHING ELSE THAT NORMALLY ENDS UP IN THE WASHING MACHINE! If you cannot convey that message properly by the age of about 6-7, then you have seriously ****ed up as a parent.

The little kids are one thing. The pods do kinda look like candy, and that's problematic.

It's the 13-year-old edgelords who have made it a joke and want those sweet sweet YouTube views that are the problem.

Keep it out of reach for the little ones who haven’t learned any better yet. No problem. But at 13, you’re old enough to know better.

If the kid is 4-5 I think they do deserve a certain amount of blame. Parents can share the blame but kids don't get off scott free. You need to teach kids how to make their own decisions about what is smart and not. if you can do that, then they should be able to realize on their own that eating Tide is not a good idea. You can't teach them not to do ever single stupid or dangerous thing out there, otherwise it would never end.

Its funny to me people are jumping to ban detergent pods to save stupid people from themselves.

Yet, if it was a russian roulette challenge, none of them would be demanding to ban guns.
 
Re: Gear Grinding 8: I Got A Lot Of Problems With You People!

My point is, if you can’t teach a kid not to eat things that go in the washer, then you’ve probably failed miserably as a parent. Laundry soap, pods, bleach, Downey, those go in the washer, not your mouth. Pot roast, vegetables, various snacks, those go in your mouth, not the washer. I would hope a halfway decent parent can teach that lesson by about 1st grade, give or take.

Look. When I was 13, I was a knucklehead. So were you. So was every other boy who was 13 at one point in time. I did a mini-****ton of stupid stuff. But I had enough sense to not eat something that wasn’t what could reasonably be considered “food”.

Umm, yeah they would. And no, I do not wish to carry that part of the conversation any further here.

This.

For a 4-5 year old, without any context of where the item came from, they might think it's some sort of candy. It's bright blue/orange, heck, it could be a Gusher (assuming those still exist). Yes it would be best if they checked with a parent what it is, but for a 4-5 year old they can still make impulsive decisions.

For a teenager, banning it isn't going to do any good. They know at that point what it is. That's the whole point to them, that they're biting into something they shouldn't. If you get rid of the pods, for all we know next month there's a Tide Powder challenge or a Tide Liquid challenge. The point to them isn't that it looks like candy and they're confused, the point is they're teenagers and purposely trying to be idiots.

If you're 13 years old, and you're stupid enough to eat laundry detergent*....well, you probably deserve what you get.

*With the exception of actual handicapped people, that really don't know better

yeah, I don't see the problem here. Natural selection has pretty much been eliminated for humans, so this might help us as a species.

Um no. THe parents teach all sorts of things- don't use drugs, drink to excess, have sex without a condom. Kids do that all stuff all the time no matter how much the parent beats them over the head. This is no different.

ANd they have been trying to ban those pod things since they came out because of the little kids. The companies responded by changing packaging
 
Re: Gear Grinding 8: I Got A Lot Of Problems With You People!

The local Walgreen's here has now allegedly put the pods behind glass.

I can't wait to get carded for laundry detergent.
 
Re: Gear Grinding 8: I Got A Lot Of Problems With You People!

people who, when they don't understand an answer, just ask the same question again.

if you are going to ask me the exact same question - you are getting the exact same answer.

if you don't understand the answer, then you need to ask a DIFFERENT QUESTION - not just repeat the same thing. obviously you didn't get it, but if you just repeat yourself, I don't know WHAT you didn't get. ask me a question about what I said or the piece you didn't understand. do not just repeat the same effing thing.

Only reason I ever ask the same question is because the person didn't answer the specific question I asked, but rather a tangent.
