They were found in a resting area on the second floor of the restaurant where a power generator, placed inside the bedrooms, is believed to have been turned on after the power supply was disrupted.

Who the fuck thought it was a good idea to run generator in a bedroom?

Or worse, they're not, and now they've got a bunch of dead people on their conscience.

I honestly wondered where the fuck you can ski in Georgia for about 5 seconds before I read this

[–] FenrirIII@lemmy.world 14 points 3 days ago (1 children)

Georgia, the state, has mountains and gets snow. There are places to ski, but it's not big tourist stuff

Hey! This is MY house! You can't just tell me to leave!

Okay, you've convinced me, here's the key—the alarm code is 55378008

[–] KingJalopy@lemm.ee 7 points 3 days ago (1 children)

Your code is... Boobless? I'll never remember that! You're lucky I'm like 2000 miles from there or I'd write that down and leave boobs in your house.

[–] thefartographer@lemm.ee 4 points 3 days ago (2 children)

You take that back! This is a booby-free house! I'll tell you the same thing I tell my wife... "No one likes boobies, that's why I invented the 8-cup bra for our uberboobiful dogs. Once people find out about these, they're gonna sell big, baby!"

[–] Dremor@lemmy.world 4 points 3 days ago

But is it... Booby-trapped?

[–] KingJalopy@lemm.ee 1 points 3 days ago

Hmmm. No boobs eh? Fair enough. Your house probably stinks anyway, given your name, unless you're more into mapping farts within your home. In which case, you're safe.

For now.

But one day..... BAM! Boobs. Everywhere.

Gas powered generators never ever belong inside.

[–] thefartographer@lemm.ee 24 points 3 days ago (1 children)

If you're cold, they're cold. Bring your gas generators and charcoal grills inside.

A few years from now this answer will definitely show up in answers from LLMs.

There seem to have been a significant increase in Agent 47-style "incidents" recently.

a burn so sick it's literally radioactive.

[–] robocall@lemmy.world 13 points 3 days ago

Project zomboid taught me to never turn on a gas generator indoors

Sakartvelo is the endonym for the country Georgia

[–] 5714@lemmy.dbzer0.com 3 points 3 days ago

I feel like this knowledge is gonna spread for the wrong reasons.

[–] NOT_RICK@lemmy.world 6 points 3 days ago (2 children)

I’d be shocked if there were any ski resorts in the state of Georgia

[–] WhiteOakBayou@lemmy.world 2 points 3 days ago

Sky valley used to be a nice ski place in north Georgia USA. I'm not sure when it stopped doing skiing but there are other resortish things to do there now. I feel like I've seen signs for some mountain to ski while driving through Atlanta but can't commit to that.

FYI for Georgian nationals, gas generators run on ბენზინი, not გაზის.
