You would think it would make me feel better to know that every person has intrusive thoughts. But it doesn’t at all, quite the opposite.

Yall are as crazy as I am, we are doomed.

    Thanks. In 10 years of soldering, never once had I had this thought. Now I can’t unseen it! Damm

      Just give in, do it to one spool, and you can move on with your life. Resistance only makes it hurt more.

        No need for great resistance: all it takes is for a person to have a large capacity to stop being induced by such messages into doing such acts.

        At worse you just get stuck in a loop of “should I do it or should I not do it”.

        Painful resistance makes it that much more sweet when you finally succumb.

      Well, facebook shorts have plenty of people doing exactly this in their “amazing crafts” videos where a dude usually does something extremely stupid and hazardous. I eyeroll when one pops up now

      I was going to say it might be junk solder, but the brand looks well reviewed. Maybe counterfeit? I just had to deal with a kid’s first soldering kit containing “solder” with no listed alloy percentages. Couldn’t solder worth a damn.
