Some silly/lazy posting once in a while is fine but if it happens often it has to be rather clever to keep the moderators happy. If you don't put any effort into your post you should put the material on your website/facebook/twitter and we can find it there.
The whole existence of 4HV is founded on that it is different, the day it is like any other site it has no reason to exist anymore. So using copy and paste to make easy and funny posts undermines the existence of 4HV because it is a quick way of turning it into yet other linksite. Be witty, be clever, be funny, but do it yourself, don't scrounge on others.
What can be discussed is how much is enough and where to post it but you have to create a new thread for that discussion or visit the chat room when there are some moderators there.

I found it was nicer to go out with a more traditional kind of bang.
More pretty bangs can be seen at Too bad it was so foggy. Could only photograph my own fireworks. At least the fog did ad a bit to that Anyway happy new year all.

This is not the point of this thread, this is a thread for your own interesting pictures. Yeah, the chatting forum is a bit looser on the rules, but I can't see anything good coming from this derail, the most likely scenario is that the whole thread is reduced to reposting 4chan images.
Aw c'mon, that is plenty on-topic. I thought it was interesting, in a funny way. Different people find different things cool :P. Not to mention, it does contain science, sorta . Don't you see other people posting humor on other threads about things like Tesla coils or high voltage? Not to mention, 4chan images would be right on the grey line between legal and illegal, this is more like... Funnyjunk.com-esque images. It got a few laughs, i think that is worth much more than the space on 4hv it took up.
My point wasn't that it doesn't belong on 4hv, my point was that it doesn't belong in this thread, as this thread is for your cool pictures, i.e. pictures you have taken or created yourself. If you want to post funny pictures from elsewhere on the web, a new thread would be more appropriate for that.

Hehe...Little Mario character bombombs. Inside is a tasty treat known as cherry flavored powder sugar. Like a fun-dip, in bomb form.
Apparently these were removed from market stores due to 9/11 as it made people always on foot when they saw kids eating them...They are apparently back, and can be bought from sites like Amazon. In a video I uploaded to youtube, i put a foil strip in a plastic shell and it made a large bang. I plan to do the same with these, as a fun little epic "working bombomb" I will keep some as a little display prop.
