This is for strictly mildly interesting material. If it's too interesting, it doesn't belong. If it's not interesting, it doesn't belong.

This is obviously an objective criteria, so the mods are always right. Or maybe mildly right? Ahh.. what do we know?

Just post some stuff and don't spam.

I’m more curious about this bunker gear, and what is depicted on that sign?

Bunker gear is the typical 'fire-proof' gear you see firefighters in when they might go into a burning building. Big, bulky, heavy, and often made of asbestos.

Bunker gear isn't using asbestos anymore. It would be nomex and kevlar now.

True, but I was thinking the sign might be from as far back as the microwave one.

Bunker gear:

This joke has been brought to you by the 1970s.

The 1970s: Come for the unrest, stay for the disco.

Everybody knows microwaves and bunker gear don't mix. Either you nuke, or you bunk.
