    Make sure that you drill a hole in the drum. They are full of shot to self-balance. If you heat them up with a fire the pressure inside will increase and it can explode and spray hot shot all over the place.

        The tub is normally double walled and welded closed so water doesn’t get in. The void has metal shot in it that shifts around to balance the drum when it spins. When you heat up a sealed metal can the air inside expands and can rupture the drum causing it to explode and spray hot shot which could ruin your day.

        To add to what homie said, “shot” is a bunch of small metal pellets. Like “shotgun”.

          Thank you, I was scratching my head trying to figure out if they meant metal ‘shot into’ or a misspelling of metal ‘shit’.

1. Relevant commentary on your own dull life. Posts should be about your own dull, lived experience. This is our most important rule. Direct questions, random thoughts, comment baiting, advice seeking, many uses of “discuss” rarely comply with this rule.

2. Original, Fresh, Meaningful Content.

3. Avoid repetitive topics.

4. This is not a search engine
Use a search engine, a tradesperson, Reddit, friends, a specialist Facebook group, apps, Wikipedia, an AI chat, a reverse image search etc. to answer simple questions or identify objects. Also see rule 1, “comment baiting”.

There are a number of content specific communities with subject matter experts who can help you.

Some other communities to consider before posting:

  • what is this thing?
  • No Stupid Questions
  • Ask Lemmy
  • Self Hosted
  • Mildly Interesting

5. Keep it dull. If it puts us to sleep, it’s on the right track. Examples of likely not dull: jokes, gross stuff (including toes), politics, religion, royalty, illness or injury, killing things for fun, or promotional content. Feel free to post these elsewhere.

6. No hate speech, sexism, or bullying No sexism, hate speech, degrading or excessively foul language, or other harmful language. No othering or dehumanizing of anyone or negativity towards any gender identity.

7. Proofread before posting. Use good grammar and punctuation. Avoid useless phrases. Some examples: - starting a post with “So” - starting a post with pointless phrases, like “I hope this is allowed” or “this is my first post” Only share good quality, cropped images. Do not share screenshots of images; share the original image.
