    It’s gone to the void, it especially likes small important things and socks

    • name_NULL111653@pawb.social ⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago

      I have compression socks labeled for right and left. 4 pairs. Now I still have 4 pairs, but one pair has two right socks…

      I'm just afraid of it reappearing one day loose in my case, flirting with the PSU.

      the void must really like m&ms

      source
      • rockSlayer@lemmy.world ⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago

        M&Ms confuse the void because they’re small and have writing on it, which is an obvious sign of importance

    I lost a wasp to my floor once… a wasp flew into my office room (im very scared of them, so i legged it). i got some wasp spray and waited at the doornway until i saw it again.

    I (in a terrified flailing of an attempt) manage to get right up tinit and spray it for a few seconds and backed away to the door again.

    I watched it crawl across my desk and go behind a little stack of books and didn’t see it come back out.

    I cautiously and tentatively crept in to look for it and looked behind the books, and it wasn’t there. I looked behind the desk, which is fixed in place and rests on a set of drawa but has a gap at rhe back between it and the wall. I can’t see it down there. I got under the desk and checked everywhere. i couldn’t get the angle with my head, so i stuck my phone back there and took pictures of the space behind the drawers. It wasn’t there. I even found one of these hard drive screws.

    I have never found it, and im almost willing to accept. i made it up because i go mental with boredom when im working from home.

      In a final act of defiance, the wasp robbed you of what you wanted most: the certain knowledge of its demise and the peace that comes with it When I am dying, I too will crawl away to my presumable death, never to be seen again. My enemies will spend the rest of their pitiful lives will be spent glancing over their shoulders and checking corners. Waiting for what will never come. They will never know a moment of true peace. The wasp can teach us a great deal about hate. Hate that is truly real and everlasting. All hail the wasp.

      You should not use that stuff indoors

      source
      • Emerald@lemmy.world ⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago

        Or not at all. If you are outside, the wasp should fly away on their own. If you engage the wasp you could easily end up stung. If a wasp has a nest or something, then you are probably beyond just spraying it at that point, it’s a much bigger problem.

    This is why I bought a magnetic bowl. Every time I have to use screws I set them in it no matter how big they are.

    • Vampiric_Luma@lemmy.ca ⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago

      … I don’t know why I never thought to put my screws into my magnetic bowl. I’ve been throwing change into it like an M.

      Thank you, I needed this.

      First thing I do whenever working on an electronics project is set down a bowl. Screw comes out, goes into bowl. Just don’t knock it over.

    The other one is somehow 15 feet away under the most difficult thing in the room to access.

    • CalicoJack@lemmy.dbzer0.com ⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago

      You think you saw it there, but once you move the thing you learn it’s actually a thumbtack. The screw fell into a vent instead, and will occasionally rattle around to taunt you.

      I dropped a screw once and found it in another room. Both the room I was in and the room it ended up in had its doors closed.

      • idunnololz@lemmy.world ⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago

        Ok I have to confess. I remembered more about the incident and it wasn’t a screw. I was putting together a gunpla (plastic Gundam model) and it was one of the pieces.

    NVME screw: phases outside of our dimension before even reaching the floor

    source
    • Blackmist@feddit.uk ⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago

      And why are there multiple sizes of NVME screw?

      • uis@lemmy.world ⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago

        It seems most of screws have same size, but different thread pitch.

    • uis@lemmy.world ⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago

      It’s M2. Regular computer screw is M3. M3 is 1mm bigger than M2.

        Somebody somewhere should change this- sure leave the pathetic screw for laptops but in desktops there’s no reason for it.

    I’ve dropped a screw and spent a good amount of time looking for it only to find it in my pocket later, mostly because I work in a smock that has big front pockets so now it’s my first check when I drop a screw

    Strong flashlight. Even in a well light room, getting down there and moving a flashlight around will reveal little screws your eye wouldn’t have ever noticed without the changing contrast and reflections.

    You’ll find that other one in your neighbor’s yard

  • metallic_z3r0@infosec.pub ⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago

    This is the reason I’ve taken to carrying a small magnet with me (combined with a flashlight/blacklight/laser pointer), so I can easily pick up those little bits that get lost (my wife cross stitches too, and sometimes her needles fall into the carpet, so it’s nice to find those before our feet do).

    My motherboard has been on with 3 screws since 2020. Definitely not because my carpet eats screws or anything. Trust me.

  • Kolanaki@yiffit.net ⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago

    I keep them all in a little Tupperware so they don’t roll all over the place. And then I am real careful not to knock the Tupperware off the table.

      I did this until I started fixing my kid’s Switch too. So I bought a silicone mat. Legit one of the best 10 dollars from Amazon I have spent for fixing electronics.

        How does a silicone mat help?

    It is more amazing when a single screw falls, and it just falls into some portal to hell knows what dimension, while the floor is pretending hard that it has nothing to do with it. That's why it is sometimes called a hard floor.

      sometimes when things fall to the floor they drop through the cracks in reality never to be found again. Common things that tend to slip into the 4th dimention include:

      • all types of screws
      • m&ms
      • pills
      • coins
      • guitar picks
      • small trinkets
      • important items

    I have OCD, whenever I take apart tiny screws from something, I watch where they are like a hawk.
