“Always avoid overcooking the product” must be one of the stupidest directions on anything ever. No-one ever sets out to “over” do anything.

You just know that warning is the result of a vexatious lawsuit

I remember a segment of 60 Minutes (an American news program that’s been on the air since like 1970) that discussed how every sticker and warning label on a standard household ladder is the result of a lawsuit. “Do not rest on uneven or muddy ground”. “Always face ladder”. “Use both hands”. “Climb slowly”. And my favorite “Do not use ladder near power lines”. From the Occupational Safety and Hazard Association:
The Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) ladder standards do not require manufacturers to label ladders with instructions and warnings. Manufacturers of ladders attach the labels to provide information for safe use, and to protect themselves in liability action from any misuse of the ladder.
“Always face ladder” except if you’re on a spaceship or a submarine or battleship and then you do the slidey down the bars thing.
I tried that on a battleship and an old tall ship (I think it was one from Pirates of the Caribbean. It might have been the other one with the smiley sailors from S. America. Brazil? Not the movie Brazil). I don’t think I was supposed to. It was a bit steep and all got too speedy. The spaceship was less fun.

Yeah, the classics are hot coffee being hot and peanuts that may contain nuts.
While I can understand all that liability stuff from a legal standpoint, it feels like “don’t overcook this” should either be on everything or nothing
Of course, it’s always worth remembering that the infamous McDonald’s coffee lawsuit was actually justified, the woman who sued them had IIRC second-degree burns because the coffee was being kept at dangerously high temperatures.
To be honest I was thinking more of Seinfeld.

I always saw him as more of a creepy sex pest

You should meet some of my co-workers.
We should honestly have breathalyzers on the forklifts certain mornings…
I’ve never understood the blocking out of the licence plate TBH.

Same here. It’s information that the car owner has consciously decided to display in a public place for the world to see, how is a photograph any worse than that?
Same with blanking names in screenshots of tweets. In private messages, sure, but a tweet by its nature means the tweeter actively wants everybody to see with his name on it.
For tweets it’s to stop people going off and dog-piling the person being screenshot.

It’s because of the opportunities for fraud. In the same way that you wouldn’t share other personal information online even if it’s fairly straightforward to find out in real life.
It took me a while to place the middle square and then it clicked – All Kubrick.

To be fair, the beetles were just insultingJesus’……um……. sausage size.

Spider-Man’s webs dissolve after an hour, so this joke makes no sense.
It was written by J. Jonah Jameson as a hit-piece.

Counterpoint: the PS4 Spider-Man game where you go around finding backpacks Spidey webbed up and forgot about years earlier, all still in place.
Spider-Man has always experimented with varying the formula for his web-fluid. The standard, classic formula is that it disappears after an hour, but he’s made others that behave differently.
Frankly though I think cleaning off a few webs is probably the least of your worries when he can knock chunks out of a building every time he fights one of his villains.
Somehow, the typo really makes that one. (The possum one, quoted the wrong post originally.)

I think “angy” is doge speak for angry.
This one is basically the plot of half of Harley Quinn series 2
Interesting group pose like for an album cover.
