Give him the keys for his room...

If you're pounding one out that won't really save you. He probably games with headphones and just doesn't want to get jump scares by mom.

I always had a desk and a bed and I made a point to never have my back towards the door when I was at my desk for the above reason.

I used to almost exclusively listen to any kind of audio through headphones. I had a microphone near my desk configured so that it would pass through the vibration of footsteps directly to my headphones. I was rarely startled, no matter what sordid activity I was undertaking.

I swear the footsteps trigger a Pavlov response in me at this point. I can even tell who it is by the footsteps

[–] [email protected] 4 points 2 hours ago (1 children)

Trauma, neurodivergence, or both detected!

Pavlov

As in you instantly lose an erection, because you've been conditioned to associate footfalls with a ruined orgasm?

[–] [email protected] 9 points 7 hours ago

I can only get off if I hear approaching footsteps

[–] [email protected] 6 points 10 hours ago

I used to be able to do that, too! These days, I live with two people: an adult wife and a toddler. Their gaits are pretty easily distinguishable.

Wow was that hard to setup? Any special equipment needed?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 hours ago* (last edited 1 hour ago)

I forget the type of mic but there are mics specifically designed for picking up vibrations from surfaces (I googled it, they're called surface mics ffs, could probably use a cheap normal mic without a pop filter tho)

If those use USB or 3.5mm, or can be made to, then plug them in and on windows check the "listen to this device" checkbox and boom, you'll hear what's coming through that mic. Adjust the sensitivity to your needs, done

On other OSs you can do it too just as easily but I don't remember what my Linux distro calls it and if you've installed Linux you have enough info from my comment to figure it out methinks

Honestly, that was some 25-30 years ago. It was pretty simple to setup back then, but it might not be the same now, especially in Windows.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 11 hours ago

Same for me at work. But I use a mirror from Aliexpress.

There is no spoon.

If they can't figure it out, no one tell them.

"And when we hide porno, we go all out. It ain’t behind the refrigerator or under the bed. No, we become Batman when it’s time to hide some porno."

Because it's dull, you twit! It'll hurt more!

It's for boosting Wi-Fi reception, don't worry about it.

Maybe he broke his arms.

Motherfucker!

[–] [email protected] 4 points 9 hours ago

That's one way to describe the guy, indeed.

Thanks, I hate it

Butthead's a Lefty?

[–] [email protected] 13 points 14 hours ago (1 children)

I have no idea where that came from but alright... Here's your well deserved upvote.

[–] [email protected] 23 points 14 hours ago* (last edited 14 hours ago) (3 children)

They reworked the lyrics to Enter Sandman.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 11 hours ago (1 children)

The rework is titled: ‘Enter sockman’.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 9 hours ago

At least it was a sock and not a coconut.

[–] [email protected] 9 points 13 hours ago

I know, the melody somehow started playing in my head from the first line. I still don't know why they did it but I'm not complaining.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 12 hours ago (2 children)

My first thought was Last Resort.
