minus-squareanomnom@sh.itjust.workslinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up4·12 days agoWe also have probably 1000x the number of pumps In the US. Maybe more. I’ve been thinking of gluing maxi pads to the speakers when they blare ads at me, but my wife told me they’re too expensive.

minus-squareMisterFrog@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up1·10 days agoThis seems insane to me. You cannot latch the handle to continue dispensing, without actively holding it in Australia (and I imagine most countries?) Seems insane because it’s removing a layer of protection (you, noticing the automatic shut off mechanism isn’t working) for barely any benefit. Though, I don’t know the statistics on how much this contributes to extra spills or fires.
