I thought a vase was the preferred receptacle

Wrong.

The preferred receptacle is a jar with a pony inside it, preferably on a radiator. A keyboard is also acceptable.

Take pictures of your stove knobs before you leave on vacation so you can be constantly reassured that you turned the drat thing off! Also works with every other power switch/knob and lock in your home:

My mom sent this one to me (having received it via a cooking site, of all things), adding, basically, "What the gently caress." Good for those with OCD, I suppose, although I could see myself checking those photos over and over in my worry instead.

If you go see a movie at a Marcus Theater right now the little message they play after the trailers and before the film has the owner of the company talk about why seeing a movie in the theater is better than watching a movie at home. The last example he gives is that you don't have to worry about smelling the pizza that you left in the oven burning. I wonder how many OCD people have been freaked the gently caress out because of that. Like, here I am trying to watch Spider-Man, and this rear end in a top hat's telling me that my house is burning down.

Take pictures of your children before you leave to reassure yourself that they're alive and healthy.

Well I mean if you like clearing out rotten and spoiled food from the fridge and/or your freezer then yeah, sure, but otherwise I think leaving the electricity on is a more safe bet.

(instead just unplug literally everything, in case there's a thunderstorm. especially if it's the middle of winter, you never know)

Build yourself a survival shelter. When you "go on vacation", bunk up in the shelter and watch the many security cameras installed throughout your house for signs of a security breach.

If you live somewhere where it gets cold enough to freeze pipes, turning off the water main isnt the worst idea. I have a coworker who left town for three weeks in the winter and got his poo poo all hosed up due to a pipe that froze, burst, then thawed and ran for a week.

My friend checked on my cats while I was at SDCC. I mostly wanted to make sure the two smart ones hadn't burned the place to the ground and the stupid one hadn't drowned himself in the toilet.

I was at an industry dinner surreptitiously checking my phone under the table as she sent me a dozen photos of them being adorable and attention-starved while she cuddled them. :3:

Don't like things coming out of your orifices? Just jam whatever you can find up there, that'll probably stop it and be basically fine.

Everyone needs to register a second account on SA that is just "NAME with a finger under nose."

And can I just say, thank you so much for LP'ing Hopkins FBI? One of my favorite Retsupuraes. That game be crazy.

You stab the knife through the banana, tie the rope to the knife and cast the end with the knife out into the water. So simple, Bing bong.

E: don't cast into a chimp or gorilla pen, you'll just give them an energetic snack and arm them with a way to drag you in also.
