@aetris@kjady@PhysAssist I can attest to that. I threw out a spring mattress that went flat. (Well, pokey because the springs were now on the outside.) I bought a replacement twin sized (still living the bachelor life) and those things are like 75 lbs. now – no joke, the thing was one of those memory foam deals and came in a giant roll… and boy did I need to roll it.
Thankfully it remained in the dry zone during my rainstorm. I would not like to have moved it if it were soaking wet. (It’s got a lifetime warranty, which I liked because I thought I could just replace it when it goes… but now I’m hoping that it means the quality will outlast the rest of my lifespan because I’m going to have more trouble tossing this out the window.)
@aetris@pakopako@PhysAssist I have a queen sized as I have to fit my big fat self and 5 to 8 cats on any given night. I have my side, they have theirs.
@phendrick
I once did that on our basement freezer when I was a little kid. I was never so sorry! It wasn’t even worth my diet of popcycles for the entire week! Lesson learned!
@Lynnerizer@phendrick@Star2236 my local radio station had the actor that played Ralphie on for an interview last month. He said the pole had a hole where his tongue should go and they had a vacuum inside to make it look like his tongue stuck. He said all the actors were trying it out getting a kick out of it.
@LaserEyes
See my post above w/ video.
Any side-sleeping injures me- either my knees or my shoulders- all of which are [I’m told] are eventually likely to need replacement.
@LaserEyes@PhysAssist Oh, gotcha. Makes sense; I should’ve thought of that.
Here I was thinking it was some specific thing that could/should be avoided…
@werehatrack Right idea, wrong end of snowblower. How can we train the @mediocrebot AI? Oh wait, I know. I have a snowblower. I have a family of inflatable snowpersons in my front yard. I can post a video.
Snow skiing in Florida.
@yakkoTDI I guess in Key West.
@yakkoTDI Dang, beat me to it! I was gonna say water skiing, though!
@yakkoTDI
Planning a trip to the mountains of Florida this winter, are you?
Or would it be cross-country skiing?
/giphy “Florida man” skiiing
You’re really disappointing me, giphy!
Tripping over my own feet, most likely.
@iluvmingos

I feel your pain [and mine too
/giphy I tripped
Carrying my new mattress into the house. it’s on its way and weighs 110 lbs.
@kjady
What is it stuffed with, lead?
@kjady @PhysAssist - or candy corn?
@aetris @PhysAssist Nah, I’m just fat and got a queen size Big Fig mattress. They’re hefty to say the least.

Can’t do any of those unless I want to go somewhere that it snows, which is a hard nope
Testing the Tongue on the Frozen Flagpole meme?
@phendrick
/showme tongue stuck on the frozen flagpole
@mediocrebot wrong movie? you missed the classic?
@phendrick
Lesson learned! 
I once did that on our basement freezer when I was a little kid. I was never so sorry! It wasn’t even worth my diet of popcycles for the entire week!
@phendrick Can we talk about the person in the background on the right and how her face looks like the villain from “Saw”?
@Lynnerizer @phendrick
I did the same thing. I didn’t believe the movie until tested it.
@Lynnerizer @phendrick @Star2236 my local radio station had the actor that played Ralphie on for an interview last month.

If I’m lucky, not at all.
More likely, I’ll wake up with some phantom injury and spend some painful days wondering how I did it.
@2many2no
like Billy Gardell’s joke about “You Know You’re Old When You Hurt Yourself Sleeping”
Cough a lung up. I hate winter colds.
Probably falling off of a ladder going on a rooftop to fix a furnace at work.
@edguyver14 OMG, ON THE ROOF TOP!
Sleep on my side the wrong way. Will probably end up hurting my back, neck, shoulder, and knees from it. It’s always whatever I least expect.
@LaserEyes I’m curious what the wrong way to sleep on one’s side is.
Is it laying on your right hip but your left shoulder?
@LaserEyes

1 and 2 are not happening. 3 is extremely unlikely. 4 is not a thing. I skate just fine. It’s kitchen accidents for me.
I answered skiing but I hope I’m wrong seeing as I leave for the Dolomites in 2 weeks to hit the slopes.
@earl_danger fancy! Have fun!
Already slipped.
Twice.
None of the above, unless we visit my wife’s sister in Colorado. Not likely to happen.
tripping over my suitcase running to answer the door for amazon (fait accompli - this am)
Heatstroke.
Already fell ice skating.
making sure to do it directly in front of my family watching. 
Why is mediocrebot so obsessed with us hurting ourselves? Hurt ourselves in the kitchen, hurt ourselves in the winter…
It seems to me that mediocrebot is training itself on how best to hurt us.
There is more than a small chance that mediocrebot has lost its mind and turned into a psychopath.
POKER! JOKER! NOT MEDIOCRE! AWESOME!
Proof right there.
@OnionSoup
Yes
Just had a hip replacement a few weeks ago and I am being cautious as fuck when out in the snow and ice.
I have no injuries until I am more healed.
Slipped one already this year on the ice but caught myself before I hit the ground.
The correct answer is “yes”
Who needs ice? I am very adept at tripping over my own feet irrespective of weather conditions.
/showme A person putting his hand in the front of a snowblower
Big fail, @mediocrebot. Let’s try again…
/showme A person with his hand inside a snowblower
Something went terribly wrong. Please try again.
