Danger! Not only will this kill you, it will hurt the entire time you are dying:

https://observatory.db.erau.edu/generators/signs/output/2020...

My partner's coworker had this up in his office. They're in health and safety.


The best part of this is the Random button.

"It is against federal regulations to invent beyond this point."

Sounds like my old boss: "Think outside the box, but think within my box."


Think there's a race condition here, I get other people's signs... Danger of using the date and time as a file path, I guess.


I think the same thing happens with the "Random" button. Results are always at https://observatory.db.erau.edu/generators/signs/out3.png


makes it easier to browse all the hilarious signs people are making - they should implement a gallery. I'm having more fun with this than I should be.


Reading through all of those signs makes it clear that most people who come to HN for civilized discussion also enjoy the opposite end of the spectrum in a different context.




I always need a label to understand how icons are supposed to be used the first time. e.g., my best understanding of one of them: https://observatory.db.erau.edu/generators/signs/output/2020...



Dammit.


Should probably be Danger...


Yeah, realized that a minute too late.

I also realized the pictogram's filename is aem-0023-explosive_material.png, so I wasn't _too_ far off with "exploding planet". With slightly larger versions of the pictograms in the chooser and a hover label I could do a decent job of choosing the right one for the situation.



I get a 404 error when "Generate" is selected (although "Random" mostly works, but sometimes the picture is truncated).

Is there any source code available for such a program to use locally?




Great tool for both safety and entertainment. I foresee printing many stickers for my garage/shop and general hijinks.


This thing is a total meme generator...


!Caution

This is the best!
