I once saw a shutterstock photo of someone using a large soldering iron on a motherboard, holding it like a pen (so holding the hot part). Stuff like this is so poorly done and fake, it's at the level of porn acting.

Here is the sacred tome you refer too m'lord wiggle;

Seriously though, is this the one you were thinking of?

I'm fairly sure this is the original I saw; But searching for "woman, soldering iron" results in many copycats, so it's hard to say if this is actually the one from back when, or if my mind just misremembers it as such.

Women will seriously try that! Astonishes me every time, like, have they never seen a rifle shot in a movie?!

OTOH, the women I've dated who escaped Mississippi could all shoot like Annie Oakley.

Judging by how bad men are with women's anatomy despite consuming so much porn I'm gonna say watching movies doesn't give you any experience.

Haters: tHaSS seXistht!

Never trained a noob to shoot, huh?

Not OP, but I've seen this one years ago. Defo the one.

[–] LordWiggle@lemmy.world 4 points 5 days ago (1 children)

Not the one I know, I've seen one with the woman wearing a hard hat 😂

[–] vonxylofon@lemmy.world 3 points 4 days ago (1 children)

Hmm, I've spent quite some time in meme circles including 4chan back in the day, but I don't remember one with a hard hat. Oh well, I stand corrected.

Doesn't matter, the idea is the same. Poor performance, perfect meme content haha
