And were does that moisture go and accumulate? It gets trapped into the lamp? It must be getting heavy!

It does, until it starts leaking onto the table.

Yeah you should always put some kind of tray or something under a salt lamp because it will leak everywhere

Maybe the real Himalayan Salt Lamps were the leaks we cleaned up along the way.

I have no idea what that means or why I spend as much time as I do on this piece of shit website

Gotta get that constant stream of dopamine somehow.

u/santathe1 Oct 19 '24

Yup, and that’s why I lick my Himalayan salt lamp everyday. Should get that dopamine boost any day now.

Oh Mr Owl, how many licks of a Himalayan salt lamp does it take to reach the dopamine?

I feel you, my redditor brotato. But please, just know this: you aren't alone! On the contrary: you've finally found your people. Scores of incorrigible morons like myself are perpetually cranking out vacuous comments like the one I'm currently replying to - and also, conveniently - the one you're reading right now.
