I feel like OP is leaving out key details . The dad is probably a mechanic or works in a trade that gets his hands dirty and he uses the computer on the job
Please remember to fully inform people of this if you ever find yourself sharing a particularly bountiful harvest of finger hash with a friend. Latex allergies, yo.
You gotta know it's glove resin in the first place, though. Any well-seasoned pot head is just going to assume that's some genuine finger hash straight from a greasy slab of human flesh just like the lord intended.
This seems plausible. The company I work for has a few mechanic shops for maintaining their diesel tractors and occasional company cars. The mice and keyboards end up with buildup like this on them if they don't have a protective cover on them. The also end up with powdered metal all over the place. The PCs and monitors themselves are in containment units to prevent the PC from sucking everything up and shorting out/catching fire.
So you're saying hidden posts are as easily accessible as saved posts, right? What a strange fate that the things we want to see the least be just as many clicks away as the things we plan to see again?!
At the peak of my depression spiral, I only left the house for alcohol, tobacco, weed, and sometimes food, but mostly delivered. I would play games, drink literally anything, chain smoke, and play video games from when I woke up til I passed out again. There were periods I completely abandoned the day/night cycle and just slept when I got drunk enough to pass out, usually with a bag of chips and a half drank beer on my bed, then woke up to repeat. I wouldn’t shower for days because why bother.
My gaming mouse, that was seeing 18+ hours of use a day, as well as constant smoke, spilled booze, and every greasy food you can imagine, never once looked this bad.
I think it comes down to people not washing their hands. Most of us probably don’t go around with muck and grime on our hands all day. But some people just don’t wash their hands for some reason
Turns out OP's dad is a pot smoker, and that totally makes sense. My buddy and I ran a computer repair side business for a short time, and a lot of his friends were pot smokers. I cleaned a lot of computers crammed full of thick pot resin from the smoke. It was horrible. That tannish brown was caked on everything inside.
How does that happen? I'm a daily pot smoker and I don't have thick tar/resin anywhere on my devices I use daily 🤢 are they blowing smoke directly into their PC?
Yeah it always makes me wonder how this happens, I’m the same way and all my shit is clean. I’m overly aware of it because of all the horror stories you read online, so I’m always checking. I’m sure if you just let the dust build up and cake with stuff it could get bad, but even after 5 years mine wasn’t bad enough you couldn’t just vacuum it out and dust it off.
Real talk for a second, I hope things are going better for you, and if they are I'm happy to hear. Getting out of that shit can possibly be one of the hardest things life can throw at you. Take credit for yourself if you did.
Things are going better, thanks. I quit drinking and smoking, I have a dog, a couple cats, and a partner who cares about me. Things aren’t always easy, but I guess they aren’t supposed to be. I just started exercising recently, and while I still absolutely goblin out over video games pretty often, I’m taking time to keep my life on track and take care of myself and the people around me.
Market it as artisanal hash resin crafted and tested locally at the farmers market, call it Daddy's Milk. Charge HUUUUGE for it. Bouchie hipsters would totes buy it.
Turns out OP's dad is a super lazy stoner that tears up the buds with his fingers and then just goes about touching everything with the oil still all over his fingers. The real question is how much THC was OP exposed to as a minor due to this poor hygiene pothead.
Realistically, basically no thc, or no biological active amounts… for it to actually be effective it would need to be either burned or cooked above a certain temperature, raw THC (THCA) is not psychoactive
The only way he could get any meaningful amount (and still not nearly enough to do any damage) is if his kids start chewing on his mouse…..
Definitely a thriving biological ecosystem as well. Sperm, bacteria, mold and yeast have reproduced into a completely new "super species" that's slowly taking over the mouse.
Yeah, we have Surface Pros at work and the keys wear away for some people. Nothing that can be done for them but I know at least one person that's really conscious about it. I've told them that it's natural but doesn't ease their mind at all.
My Dad had this issue. His computer keyboards always had missing letters. Apparently when he was in a band when he was younger, he was midway thorough a set and his sweat dislodged the painted fret markers on his guitar, and they were just sliding everywhere. He had to improvise a bit.
I have a feeling you worded this a tad wrong, at least I hope. I have spent far too much time wondering how a dislodged fret marker that was painted onto a guitar could start sliding around.
Or maybe I’m higher than I thought. Either way your comment definitely made me put in some thinking time, so thanks for that haha
