Don't try this at home
Post 153704 by fearfulsymmetry deleted for the following reason: Hey, it's looking like a) there were people actually injured in the resulting fire, and b) uncertain if the video subject actually intended this to be saved on YouTube... plus a lot of laughing at the guy (not here) when it seems that this was a rather terrible accident. Deleting for now, please contact us if you'd like to discuss or share more info about the video origins or whatever! -- taz

Dating advice from the Federal Reserve
Post 153598 by clawsoon deleted for the following reason: Yeah, I tend to agree that this is a pretty dire kind of prediction that needs more qualification, and it's framed (by the Post) in a clickbaity way that seems kind of irresponsible. -- LobsterMitten

Post 153535 by Roger Dodger deleted for the following reason: Eh, we fight about cellphone etiquette too much anyway, but also this seems to be connected to a PR stunt from a few years ago, and keeps resurfacing as an ad campaign; I'm not clear on who's driving the latest round. -- LobsterMitten

"They told me it never happened."
Post 153409 by Elementary Penguin deleted for the following reason: Hey, sorry, this was deleted earlier: "that's a horrible situation for sure, but there's been a few discussions on the front page of rape and rape culture in the last couple weeks, and having another post specifically about 'this is horrible story about rape' feels like not the greatest idea. Maybe add this in one of the previous recent posts?" -- taz

A !tangled web, indeed
Post 153356 by Michele in California deleted for the following reason: Hey there, this is looking like it's a rehosted short story on a possibly-iffy Russian site, and then if there are offensive elements beyond that, it's probably better to give it a pass. -- LobsterMitten
