When I was like 7, I put a bunch of legos in one of these and they melted. I was able to put them into the top because the lamp was next to the stairs.

Remember? I still have it!
Surprised how many people still do. If it ain't broke don't fix it I suppose.
Occasionally a bug or a Nerf dart would end up in ours and you'd smell a gross burnt aroma 😅
Older gen Z here, I remember these really strongly.
People always forget gen Z was alive for these kind of things and I'm starting to think nobody realizes how old we actually are. Most people you think of as gen Z are only really on the younger end of gen Z. Some of us are in our late 20s now and also struggling to understand kids these days.
You're not in your late twenties if you're Gen Z. Gen Z is like 2001 onwards.
Gen Z is 1997-2012. The oldest of us are 27.
That's dumb. Surely millennials have to include people born in 2000
Also I am a Gen Z. You aren't.
The generations are determined by what the biggest common experience they all have is (at least, that's how it's supposed to be.)
Millennials are millennials because they all remember the turn of the millennium. anyone born 1997 or later wouldn't remember it, which is why the generation line was drawn where it was.
There are people who find that weird and prefer to call anybody born after 2000 gen Z because they were born after the turn of the millennium, so there's a sizable amount of people who've taken to calling anybody born 1996-2000 a "zillennial" as a compromise. I use the term sometimes, but only when I need to demonstrate to somebody that there's no clear difference between a young millennial and an older gen Z.
Doubles as fly killer. Remember hearing a couple zap on that fucking food service light
Ah, the smell of freshly burnt bugs. We once had a giant moth catch on fire which shot several inches above the top of the lamp and set off the smoke detector. The apartment reeked for days.
I saw one of the bulbs burn out once, four inch flames straight out of the top.
Yeah we never had one (poor} but I remember hearing that they caused their share of house fires
I had two of them!
I still have one
I almost burned a neighbors house down by forgetting about a piece of cloth I put on that badboy for mood lighting.
Mood lighting lol.
I used to put my socks on these as a kid cause it'd warm them up. I ended up forgetting them one day and there was a fucking roaring fire coming out of the top of the bowl within minutes.
