You know, I've always though it would be totally fun to work for UL. I mean ... "Additional B-Roll"? That's comedy GOLD!

Yeah, the B-Roll is what made it for me.

"So what do you do?"
"Oh, I catastrophically misuse appliances."

I really, really want that for my job description.

In my family, we fill the oil to the top, place it on a wobbly stool in our living room, and heave the frozen turkey in from 10 feet away. Tastes fantastic, I assure you.

I finally know what to do with my 20 pound bird! Thanks, everichon!

I wonder if this video really delivers the message that it intends. Is this supposed to discourage you from doing this? Because the whole time I was watching, my brain was saying AWESOME!

(Sort of like when I watched this , which I think is also supposed to be somewhat informative but is mainly highly amusing. Although it really works as a sales pitch).

Wow, kimchi, there is just so much cool destruction in the metaverse today! Is this a 'biggest USian travel day of the year' tradition I just somehow never heard of?

Damn, is it really a good idea to handle medical waste bare-handed? Does shredding it sterilize it at the same time?
