Some of us even have the T shirt!
You all got it wrong!!
This is NOT an Electronics related Ad but they are showing off their new porcelain made prosthetic hand, and bragging about their skin colour matching.
Note they used black, blonde and brunette models!!!!
The props are always the same!!!

🤣it is even funnier when you know that the first picture, with the girl wearing the lavender shirt, was used in an advertising campaign for the german chamber of crafts 🙄
First time I saw it I had to do a double take. The Dumm Blonde at the bottom just reminded me too much of Tubelab George. Daughter perhaps? One would think he’d teach them better than that 😀
Safety clothes and boots are essential.
I was once welding a car chassis.
I blob of molten weld dropped down and burned through my trainer on to my foot.
I was dancing around trying to get my trainer off.
I keep a bucket of water handy in case of fire and popped my foot in that.

Jeez, I'm glad that I'm old and have a functioning brain and plenty of Common Sense.
Notice all these googy pictures are the stupid younger bunch?
They represent the Dumbing Down of Society.

Notice that these are all staged shots with young attractive models who have probably never seen a soldering iron before?
The only dumb ones are those who can’t see that and have a little chuckle.

My point, to enlighten you is.....
Photos like that, when seen by the Younger Generation, may think that that is how to "do it".
Since they're inexperienced with things.
I, certainly can see that they're "staged" idiotic crap.
I realize that.
I sometimes like to "think out of the box" and look at other aspects of something.
I grew up in a time where olderheads couldn't program the clock on the VCR but 5 year old me could figure it out easily.
If only I had pictures on my tech support phone calls at IBM with the older generation. People who fold up a 5 1/4" disc, insert it in the 3 1/2" drive, and wonder why it doesn't work. People who think the CD ROM drive is a "cup holder". People who actually call to receive tech support about their computer that won't power up only to find out 45 minutes later there was a POWER FAILURE! People who call to say software doesn't work only to find out they don't have that software - they used it at a friends place -- doesn't it come on all computers?
And this "younger" (I was 21) was on the receiving end of those calls trying not to swear at them.
OTOH, there was another "younger" working there who thought Tucson AZ was pronounced "tuckson"...

My daughter never had an interest in any of my hobbies, but she did play guitar through an amp I made for her. She learned at a young age not to venture into my workroom when I wasn't there, and to be afraid to wander in there sometimes when I was inside. I even had our two cats trained to watch intently from the door, but not to venture inside.
I was a Beta tester for IBM's OS2 Warp 3 and Warp 4 operating systems. I might have been the Dumm Blonde that called the Beta tech line with the "help I put the printer into the shredder, how do I get it out" question. The immediate response I received was "why did you do that?" To that I responded, "to see what would happen." It turned out that I had to reinstall a lot of stuff to fix that blonde moment.
I would have been about 40 years old at the time. I was working at an off (Motorola) campus think tank which was just down the street from the huge IBM plant in Boca Raton where the PC was developed. OS2 was developed somewhere else, but an IBM techie that I had met a class at Florida Atlantic University, also in Boca, hooked me up with the OS2 warp Beta program. He also got me all the software needed to make it look like I was running UNIX programs on my Pentium 1 based PC. In reality they were running on a Sparc station somewhere but being displayed by an X windows shell in OS2 Warp.
That's awesome.
You just reminded me of (one of) the most obscure error messages... lp0 on fire.
