Gear will literally kill you [UPDATE: 12/21 Q/ASSANGE DROP]

[coldbrightsunlight]

He's right you know. if you use your toes to click pedals, WHILE WEARING SHOES this is even worse

[frodog]

Nobody mentioned the most likely scenario of death by gear - tripping and falling. I bet all of you have done this at some point, just realize that one of those falls could have killed you. I have broken a 4-track and almost many other things, as well as cuts and bruises from falling into drum kits, speaker cabs and tables. Always wear a helmet/body armor while playing, or make sure everything hard and sharp around you is padded. Kustom had the right idea.

Look, there's no doubt that a non-zero (i.e. statistically significant) amount of people have tripped over their guitar/pedal cables to their deaths. Big complicated setups with lots of cables, pedals, etc., equates to literally millions of different ways you can seriously maim yourself or die.

[dubkitty]

isn't there a TV series about this?

Dudes, the electrical pollution radiating off those tone sucking cables will make your cells age more quickly. Age = death but slowly.
Even worse when it's tone-sucking cables. That tone will have to go somewhere, doesn't it?

At every corner there are mobs of tone snobs around every corner that might flog you to death either for using CBA or for failing to comprehend the blessings of MIDI.

Also let's not forget this guy:

Yeah I think it's called Ancient Aliens

Uh, excuse me, I wouldn't be caught dead hanging out on a corner while I'm waiting to flog a tone-heathen. Everyone knows the only acceptable punishment for MIDI heresy (ignorant or otherwise) is death-flogging in a wide-open field, by way of charging from behind. Watch your back (when you're in a wide-open field, far from corners).

I'm safe then, I live in a city.

Make sounds quietly.
Input holes should be lubricated.
Delay pedals go in the effects loop.
Induction proves that you are your gear.

Parking lots are just MIDI-accessible fields.

That video needs to be in a national public service announcement, now

[Sentient Twig]

The real question is: why isn't the media covering any of this? What's in it for them?

I've read that Soros owns massive stock in BOSS and TC Electronics.

What's the connection between Dominion and BOSS? Do they really expect us to believe BOSS (and by extension, Soros) had nothing to do with the election?

[D.o.S.]

What if they're covering it above 20khz to avoid causing a panic

[Sentient Twig]

5100 S Eastern Ave. in Los Angeles.

Recognize that address? You should. It's the U.S. headquarters of Roland Corporation.

See what's over there just a block away? A massive military compound, including national guard and even a high level Naval Operations Command Center.

Wake up. Educate yourself.

This thread seems to be toeing the line of detrimental nonsense, we should be here to help you from falling down that fetid rabbit hole and not just waving our arms wildly and screaming at the sky.
