On any given day, we're only exposed to the "normal" hazards. Stuff like slipping and falling on stairs, getting burned by various appliances, and getting our feelings hurt by Debra. But this world isn't just a pile of household hazards and emotional turmoil, it's also a place where you can get stung by thousands of bees, dissolved in acid, and liquified by a series of grinding implements. Also asploded. Don't forget asploded.

All of these unconventional hazards are highly cartoonish in their own ways. This makes them seem like they're out of the realm of possibility, and honestly that makes them even more dangerous. It's a lot easier to get liquified when you don't believe the liquification machine can "get you." So for that very purpose we have terrifying signs that aren't messing around. They might be scary to read, but we've gotta admit that they're necessary. Thanks signs. Good job.
