Here's a limerick. If you know one, post it. I'd like to hear more, cuz I only know this one. :)

There once was a faith healer from Deal,
Who said although pain isn't real,
If I sit on a pin
And it punctures my skin
I dislike what I think that I feel.

Hockey is my favourite sport to play

I wish I could play it every day

We skate up the ice

Because it feels so nice

Hockey is the best, which is what I say​

Cheezy, but its a limerick.

This isn't really a limerick, but it's a good poem I found none the less.

Live like you don't need the money.
Love like you've never been hurt.
Dance like nobodies watching.
Live like it's Heaven on Earth.

There once wa a pie from my freezer,
He had lots of leasure,
He ran away in one dark night,
What a terrible fright,
He only named himself ebenezer.

:p I just made that up. I suck at poety though, i think thats the best poem i ever did.​

Actually, that was quite good.
I found a bunch of limericks in Uncle John's Bathroom Reader #17. So now I have a LOT more.

An accident really uncanny
Ocurred to my elderly granny
She sat down in a chair
While her false teeth lay there
And bit herself right in the fanny.

'There's a train at 4:04," said Miss Jenny.
"Four tickets I'll take. Have you any?"
Said the man at the door,
"Not four for 4:04,
For four at 4:04 is too many."

A painter who came from Great Britain
Accosted two girls who were knittin'.
He said with a sigh,
"That park bench-- well, I
Just painted it, right when you're sittin'."

A funny old bird is the pelican,
His beak holds more than his belican.
He take take in his beak
Enough food for a week.
I'm damned if I know how the helican!

There was a young lady who tried
A diet of apples, and died.
The unfortunate miss
Really perished of this:
Too much cider inside her inside.

There was an old skinflint named Green.,
Who grew so abnormally lean
And flat and compressed,
That his back squeezed his chest,
And sideways he couldn't be seen.

The was an old man from Nantucket
Who kept all his cash in a bucket.
His daughter, named Nan,
Ran away with a man,
And as for the bucket, Nantucket.

A daring young lady of Guam
Observed, "The Pacific's so calm
I'll swim out for a lark."
She met a large shark...
Let us now sing the 90th Psalm.

A man with the surname of Beebee
Wished to marry a lady named Phoebe,
But he said, "I must see
What the minister's fee be
Before Phoebe be Phoebe Beebee."

A bather whose clothing was strewed
By winds that had left her quite nude,
Saw a man come along...
And unless we are wrong,
You thought the next line would be lewd.

Phew! That was exhausting.

then splinters get into the water.

Yes.

There once was a horse in a barn,
He ran around the farm,
But he learned some information,
When he died of Suffocation,
Uncle bob just got back from a chili con carne!​

The rythm of these poems are off BTW.
Syllables per line in above post:
8
6
8
8
10

The first, second, and fifth lines almost always have the same number of syllables, as do the third and fourth.
Not to criticize but that should be fixed.

A farmer named Bill,
Went to work in a Mill,
And after frustation,
and Careful consideration,
He realized all he had was a Till.

lol I forget if "Till" is even a farming tool, but it works. Does that live up to your standars Pineapple? Im just making these up right when I open the reply page. lol thx FireWarrior.

    How can you tell the difference between real traffic and indexing or AI generation bots?
  • The Helper The Helper:
    The bots will show up as users online in the forum software but they do not show up in my stats tracking. I am sure there are bots in the stats but the way alot of the bots treat the site do not show up on the stats

    New recipe is Shipwreck Dinner - https://www.thehelper.net/threads/recipe-shipwreck-dinner.193511/
  • Varine Varine:
    I want to build a filtration system for my 3d printer, and that shit is so much more complicated than I thought it would be
  • Varine Varine:
    Apparently ABS emits styrene particulates which can be like .2 micrometers, which idk if the VOC detectors I have can even catch that
  • Varine Varine:
    Anyway I need to get some of those sensors and two air pressure sensors installed before an after the filters, which I need to figure out how to calculate the necessary pressure for and I have yet to find anything that tells me how to actually do that, just the cfm ratings
  • Varine Varine:
    And then I have to set up an arduino board to read those sensors, which I also don't know very much about but I have a whole bunch of crash course things for that
  • Varine Varine:
    These sensors are also a lot more than I thought they would be. Like 5 to 10 each, idk why but I assumed they would be like 2 dollars
  • Varine Varine:
    Another issue I'm learning is that a lot of the air quality sensors don't work at very high ambient temperatures. I'm planning on heating this enclosure to like 60C or so, and that's the upper limit of their functionality
  • Varine Varine:
    Although I don't know if I need to actually actively heat it or just let the plate and hotend bring the ambient temp to whatever it will, but even then I need to figure out an exfiltration for hot air. I think I kind of know what to do but it's still fucking confusing
  • The Helper The Helper:
    Maybe you could find some of that information from AC tech - like how they detect freon and such
  • Varine Varine:
    That's mostly what I've been looking at
  • Varine Varine:
    I don't think I'm dealing with quite the same pressures though, at the very least its a significantly smaller system. For the time being I'm just going to put together a quick scrubby box though and hope it works good enough to not make my house toxic
  • Varine Varine:
    I mean I don't use this enough to pose any significant danger I don't think, but I would still rather not be throwing styrene all over the air

    I bitch about Xenforo sometimes but it really is full featured you just have to really know what you are doing to get the most out of it.
  • The Helper The Helper:
    It is just not easy to fix styles and customize but it definitely can be done
  • The Helper The Helper:
    I do know this - xenforo dropped the ball by not keeping the vbulletin reputation comments as a feature. The loss of the Reputation comments data when we switched to Xenforo really was the death knell for the site when it came to all the users that left. I know I missed it so much and I got way less interested in the site when that feature was gone and I run the site.
