Danger! Danger!

I love stick figures in peril! I mean just look at my avatar. Here’s a few I’ve taken pictures of.

Not really a stick figure in peril but it makes me laugh so here’s a bonus:

It’s just good advice.

Not sure if this is real or 'shopped, but it still gave me a laugh.

Thanks. I was working on it but I’m on my phone so even the simplest of tasks are a million times more of a pain.

ya, not really sure what type of magic this is.

• clicked your link
• oh, the url doesn’t have a file extension at the end
• copypaste it into my post and add .jpg
• can see it in preview
• hit post
• now yours embeds, so mines redundant
• delete my post
• it won’t do it

but anyway, at least it’s visible ¯\ __(ツ) _ /¯

I saw this exact sign (same font, even) in Jakarta with no explanation underneath:

Didn’t seem likely to be gunfire related on that particular road…

[anon37332521]

So is that the new generic hazard warning? Was there anything (sharp curves, falling rocks, wildlife milling about) that seemed to warrant extra attention?

[chgoliz]

That’s what I was wondering. Nothing more hazardous that any other stretch of Jakarta road (the motor bikers are suicidal, I swear!). And they do have a term used to indicate “caution” with regard to driving and other related dangers: hati-hati (literally: care care).

Back in the 70s I did factory inspections for the EPA. I learned a lot from the workers in the steel mills in the middle of the night, including the trick of turning a vending machine upside down then rightside up again to liberate large quantities of candy or cigarettes.

Apropos of an earlier sign, I also learned that if you rappel down into a large tank of liquid to get a sample, you might not discover until the later analysis that you probably shouldn’t have done that.

Back in high school they put a vending machine right next to the machine shop…
