... I'm starting to worry about the shapes of y'all's dicks now.

Or maybe I'm desensitized because I've seen this thing definitely makes more phallic shapes sometimes, so this doesn't register in comparison.

I suppose it could be a rorschach test

bad dragon?

There are best practices to follow, including keeping it away from heat sources and sunlight, making sure it's on a sturdy, heat-tolerable surface, and, yes, not leaving it on too long. (Though one hour is barely enough for the thing to heat up properly. What I'm finding online shows the limit to be around 8-12 hours. There might be different limits for different ones.) I keep mine on a tray table with nothing else on it, so it's isolated from anything flammable. Safety care instructions say that you can tell it's overheating if all the wax goes into one blob and stays near the top of the lamp.

Basically, as long as you follow the safety advice that comes with it and don't leave it on too long, it should be safe.
