- It was like that when i got here. But a shiny well polished hook glistening in the daylight raises an eyebrow.

  Are they not for ceiling fans? The two fans I've installed needed them.

Its extremely embarrassing when guests continually ask about the ceiling hook.

- You hung it during your houseplant phase, but you don't have a green thumb and haven't bothered to take the hook down yet

- You say "extremely embarrassing", but I say "a perfect opportunity" ;3

  Yeah I didn’t mean to fuck in it, just that there is a piece of furniture that can explain why you have a ceiling hook.

  But you can easily exchange it for the sex swing.

Hang a planter from it.

People will still ask question if you mounted 2 fire detector at 1m distance?

23
- Oh, that's a CO2 detector...

It's common here in Malaysia for baby cradle swing or baby bouncer or baby rocker. The hook on the ceiling is attached to the cradle with a spring. Now my mind is dirtied by this meme.

  You're allowed to comment on posts on other servers. That's, like, the entire point of the Fediverse.

  I will say that this is both a benefit and a detriment to lemmy in my experience. You have to pay attention to multiple levels of information.

- No, it's dual use. Few times for for conception, then it's already there just hang the bouncer from it.

We always just hung plants from them.

That or a Sky Chair, though ironically they kinda look like sex swings on their own.

nobody asks about my hooks.. it must be the way i look at them and say, "i wouldn't ask about the hooks"..

20
- I just hate the hypocrisy of it all

I used to have two smoke detectors one right next to the other. One came with the house, the other was linked to the alarm system.

hey, thats the same model of smoke detector that I have

Hang Olympic rings from them!

What's funny is that I actually had a pair in my livingroom that was actually used to hang Olympic rings!

I installed a hook in my living room ceiling but it was genuinely meant to hang my heavy bag for training. Now I'm wondering how many guests think that I do sex hook sex in the living room (where I don't even have curtains.)
