Oh, I totally read that as you talking from experience :)

Or do you mod somewhere else?

Since you’re on the same instance as me, I assume you are a mod/admin there. Let me use this opportunity to say thank you to you and all the other mods on feddit.org for helping to keep that place one of the most pleasant online spaces I’ve come across in my years on the internet. As far as I can tell from the outside you and the others are doing a great job.

In my experience the city information is not particularly reliable. If you geolocate my IP the city is always wrong.

When I was 13 I wrapped a fire cracker in tape apart from the end with the fuse (I thought it would be louder that way). It exploded in my hand as I lit it.

My hand was fine because of the tape but the full force of the blast came out the untaped end and shot fragments of paper and black powder right into my face and eyes.

Ended up having to get rushed to the hospital for emergency surgery. They basically removed several layers of skin from my face and scraped the debris from my eyeballs. After surgery I couldn’t see further than like 10cm from my face and the doctors told me either it would be permanent or I’d be able to see again in a week or so. Luckily it was the latter.

I got extremely lucky and made a full recovery.
