Just wondering if anyone actually had their parents/cleaning lady call the cops/rehab on them cause they found a tube of thermal paste and thought they were drugs
Also a pic of the "drug" of my choice, cause why not?

I wouldn’t believe so, provided that the authorities can read
Keep it in it’s box for them. If they start asking questions, direct them to the product usage guide
OP…did..did this happen to you?
I once took salt with me for camping and did so in a small clear plastic bag.. looked highly suspicious, I am glad no one saw that 😂

Tell me you’ve never seen drugs without saying you’ve never seen drugs…
Once in a while you will see someone post about having parents freak out about it, and in easy to believe posts. Some parents are just idiots.
Few parents will call the cops on their own kids over anything. It’s every expensive fiscally and in terms of your relationship with your child. But hey, one family did, and their child was murdered because the police put the kid in the back of a vehicle with a known murdered.
I’ve not seen story thus far of police being called over thermal paste.
Is any aware of drugs being sold in hypos with commercial labels on them?
Just explain to them it’s a performance enhancing substance to keep your system cool when you’re pushing those heavy loads.
yeah, they found me consuming it 😔
If you can think of it, then it happened.
Holy crap, I heard that story from the Russian guy, Maddy Murk. Cops stopped him for a few hours
Doubt it. I travel with multiple different kinds of supplements that are in white powder form. I buy them in bulk so when I fly I put them in ziplock bags in my carry on. Definitely looks sketchy as hell but never had a problem.
i hate reactive people, they’re so stupid. like, we always have to jump violently from conclusion to conclusion instead of thinking about things like rational people
Not because of thermal paste but I waited for soldering flux from aliexpress for 2 months because custom control saw 4 shots in the package.
NoCtyua, is that what you kids do nowadays? /s
Anyone else read NOCTUA like Hawk Tuah?
You need to move away fast
you gotta noc tua and thermal paste that thing I’m so fucking sorry I’m going to go stand in the corner now.
No, my parents taught me how to clean after myself. My child about poor decisions on how to humiliate yourself online … Ah your parents got this.
Did 5 years at a super max for possesion with intent to distri- oh. You actually meant the thermal paste. Nah ur good chief.
Some days later on some social media: I was ARRESTED for ILLEGAL transfer of heat.
not with the authorities but my mom thought I am doing drugs after I came back from helping a friend to build his pc
My (very old) granma once had a talk with me about a half used mx4 syringe she found. But I managed to come clean (barely).
Thermal drugs hit different
Once i was building a PC with my little cousin for him, and let him distant relative ask what was the past i was using was for.
I explained to her. It was at the begining of summer, and the sunlight was hitting the table we where building the PC on. She watch the syringe seconds after my explanation, and ask if heat of the sun won’t damage it since it was in the light.
I didn’t even found words.
Only radioactive materials for welding.
This is Nuke, Robocop can confirm
my gf was confused as to why I had syringes in a case in a filing cabinet but other than that no one really thinks anything of it… usually because im hunched over an open PC when I have it
lol, so they read “thermal paste” and think “heroin”.
wtf
No but someone reported me for drug use at my office because they found one in my desk
Nah, but the previous place I lived, a basement of a friend of my mom, had a locked door behind my shelfs for some years…before I asked her if I could open up and take a look. The short story is that I cleaned up the room, so I could use it…digging through decades of trash, I got to the point of the room, where one of her kids had been with friends probably in the 90s, and I found porn mags, a bong…and…a lot of empty needles. I’m pretty sure the mother didn’t know. I think it must have been their club house or something. The room was just concrete, and unfinished.
lol oh my god.
My mom found some thermal pasted after I got kicked out when I was 16. She called my siblings and they had an intervention and I said ok yall can show me what you’re talking about now because this is ridiculous.
So they bring out 2 “syringes”
First was thermal paste
Second was teeth whitening solution
I lost it and walked out. I didn’t see/talk to them for like 10 months.
No but when I was making timber kit homes we used to mark the studs on the front vapour barrier with black crayons. My mother found one in my pocket and thought it was cannabis resin. Was funny watching her trying to burn it with a lighter to smell it and the crayon just started melting lol
I bought some thermal paste locally from my friend instead of ordering some more. I met him at a huddle house parking and we exchanged cash and goods thru the car window. Looking back, if someone saw us I’m sure they would think I was buying drugs lol.
I know owning Noctuas can be addictive, I don’t know if consuming thermal paste is tho
So a few years back I had ordered some thermal paste and a cheap rubber-ball mouse off newegg.
got an email a few days later saying one of my items was denied importation by Canadian Customs.
checked my newegg order – thermal paste had zero issues, but I never did get that 90’s style ball mouse.
I had an unmarked syringe of mx4 about 5 years ago. My mom was concerned about it, but no much as she already knew about my PC addiction. Can’t do drugs if you spend all your teenage money on PC components.
Another one was just a month ago when railway station staff scanned my bags with X-ray (Ukraine war reality, there were no x-ray on railway, just in airports) and started asking me questions. As I later found out they mistook my HT watercooled mini PC (I assembled it for my dad as a b’day gift) along with some instruments and cables for a bomb. Guys were standing behind a blast shield when I powered it on to prove them ~~right~~ wrong.
Wow, just looking around my desk I found Arctic Chill MX-4, Thermalright TF7, Noctua NT-H1 and some Thermal Grizzly
My friend had the exact opposite happen when I was helping her kid build a computer. She walked over and picked up the tube and said “oh, what’s this?” and her kid quickly went “it’s not drugs!”
She just stared at him for a second and said, “…yeah, no shit; trust me, I know what drugs look like. I meant what is thermal paste?”
No one is this stupid.
Probably not anymore.
However, about 10 years ago, we all went to my inlaws wedding in Texas. Going through TSA in Sacramento Airport, my daughter gets pulled aside, with me too since shes a kid, and I’m asked if they can search her backpack. An item of suspect appears to be in her bag. I say yes because now I’m curious what could be in her backpack. I glance down at her and ask “what did you put in here?” with a smile on my face. Turns out, erasers that are like [this](https://external-content.duckduckgo.com/iu/?u=https%3A%2F%2Fi.pinimg.com%2Foriginals%2F98%2F35%2F2a%2F98352a3dfbc04de172c5fbcc076bb9a1.jpg&f=1&nofb=1&ipt=59069f3f0e5ade239f02556d6a6eed07df48f4a5336aa4782175dc882af9a681) that are about 12 inches long make the computer think theres [det-cord ](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Detonating_cord)in a bag. We all had a good laugh when they pull out this wiggly eraser from a pink unicorn backpack. =D
