House fires have always been one of my biggest fears. Although I’ve never experienced one personally, I constantly triple-check the stove, candles, and dryer vent for lint. However, a recent Facebook post by Kentucky resident Jason Whitaker revealed a fire hazard I never considered.
Jason shared that he kept smelling something like an electrical fire and almost tore his house apart trying to find the source. Eventually, he discovered that the smell was coming from a fluorescent spiral light bulb. Inside the bulb’s spiral coils were ladybugs, attracted to the light and heat, accumulating to a point where they nearly ignited.
“Inside the spiral coils of the light bulb was nothing but ladybugs,” Jason explained. His photos showed the potential danger, with the accumulation of ladybugs coming close to igniting due to the bulb’s heat.
If you use fluorescent spiral light bulbs in your light fixtures or lamps, be sure to check them regularly for critters trying to get warm inside. Jason’s experience highlights a simple check that could prevent a house fire.
“I found it important to share Jason’s post with you all,” he added, “as this is a potential fire hazard I would have never known about.”
Regular inspection of these light bulbs can help you avoid a dangerous situation and keep your home safe from unexpected fire hazards.
Woman with Many Tattoos Upset Over Job Obstacles:
Ash Putnam, a 23-year-old with tattoos and piercings, was rejected for a job at TJ Maxx and accused the business of discrimination. This led to uproar. Putnam claimed she was turned down for a part-time job because of her appearance. She told her experience on TikTok. She was informed in person that she lacked experience after getting a rejection email.
In spite of this, she thought the rejection was primarily due to the Satanic imagery in her tattoos. Her TikTok video started a discussion on tattoos in the workplace, with some saying they can come across as unprofessional, particularly in jobs where you interact with customers. The incident highlights the need for more inclusive and equal recruiting processes and raises more general concerns about body alterations.
