Thanks for this beautiful post. Saved in favorites because those old, well used things, still serviceable are so lovely to me.

CRT is an arcade monitor not a TV and it's Ms. Pacman not Pacman.
darthbiscuit
Looks more like fillet k Ives than butcher knives.
ReddoIsDeddo
If you like well worn stuff why don't you come to Italy? EVERYTHING is well worn here.
SamArt53
Including your Mom.

My drive stick looks the same
Fjorkvar
how do you people not lose or throw things away?
AntonioAdorno
The “centuries of use” path reminds me of the scene from the Fellowship of the Ring where Frodo and Sam encounter Merry and Pippin.
PsssstHey
Reminds me of @op's mom

I didn’t know I needed to see this until I saw it.

ACKCHYUALLY that's not a CRT TV. It's a CRT monitor from a Pac Man arcade machine.
jridley
TV is a monitor plus a tuner.

as an ex-butcher I think you're sharpening your tools too much dude.
DanielWilks
My school is from the 1940s and our stairs look like that as well!
BlueElephant92
my schools old building is from about 1900 and I was always amazed that the steps if the stairs were worn out so much

Soooo much asbestos...

Meh I was just in an Edison plant being ripped down. This is a very small amount, airborne anyways.
nanowaffle
People aren't buying cheap gas, they're buying the gas that has the right octane level for their engine. Most cars happen to use unleaded.
annibe11e
Those are all unleaded
ender00000
Last time I saw anything under 95 octane was in the previous century (and barely anybody used that - most went for 98, which also isn't …
ender00000
… available to buy any more).
FartedWhileMakingUpName
Most vehicles can use either of the 3 but people prefer the cheaper. Vehicles that require premium aren't as common.
jridley
As has been said, all gas in the US is unleaded. But to the point, owners manuals now say outright that > 87 octane is just wasting $$.
ender00000
Interesting, over here only 95 and 100-octane are available. Back when leaded fuel was still around most people got 98-octane, though 89 …
ender00000
… was available, but I don't remember anybody using it for their cars.
NaughtyCannibal
someone didnt do a good job at carring for those poor victorinox knife.

The statues's feet are impressive. The rest is friction by rougher elements, but that one is just people's skin.

#2 Uhh...past, noticeably less past, and present?
AndreKroon
Well future if they want to wear down the present one into the condition of the past one, if that then they won't use the newest one yet.
KaminoNeko
Nah, the really worn one is retired, the worn one is still in use, the new one is in reserve for when the current one gets past usability.

Ryanator50
These are all super cool, but some of these are like "Why would you still be using it a year before it reaches this point?"
delecti
The D20s in particular stood out to me as this. Those are way beyond unusable, they must have gone through more than just normal use.
gaidinbdj
I'm thinking the D20s were cheap ones that went through a high-heat dryer cycle or something similar.
DARfuckinROCKS
This hiking poles. Like what are you even still holding on to??? How did it even get that far.
Bibulus
Those are the bottoms of the poles, which wear away on the ground, the handles don't wear away that much.
DARfuckinROCKS
Wow. I thought those were the handles. I feel pretty stupid.
Brianetta
They went through the carbide tips, then instead of replacing the tip, they kept going until fitting was gone.
Brianetta
It's like wearing your shoe soles all the way down to the ankles.
TossABabyYodaToYourWitcher
Looks more like 8 months of over sharpening
stink3rbelle
or shitty knives
BanadecCamberbootch
And those are fillet knives, not butcher knives.
Tikisteel
butchers use fillet knives... a lot
FullCrimsonic
Both are good for boning
TheMeatWhisperer
Those are boning knives, not filet knives. And butchers use the hell out of their boners.
BanadecCamberbootch
Awwwwww yisss
exenos
Not when they get used heavily everyday. If you get 8 months out of knives your doing good. 4-6 months is an average life.
TossABabyYodaToYourWitcher
Didn't think of that, you're absolutely right
KeeleonOhms
These are butchers knives not chefs knives. Theyre cutting 8 hours a day probably.
mechanicalchaos
Yeah, I'd say something like this. My hub is a chef and the knife sharpening guy came by like monthly.
Solkanarmy
so if their everyday use is heavy, they got sharpened every day?
exenos
Yup. Touched up with a steel multiple times between breaks with a few minutes of sharpening at the end of the day to fix the daily wear iirc
PrettiesAndPuppersAnd
Many times a day
Corridoor
Every time your knife hits the block it dulls a little, butchers usually deal with hanging cattle, same goes for hitting a bone, sinew, etc

2 extra characters when I'm close to the limit makes a difference lol
exenos
My buddy works at a meat packers and I couldn't believe it either when he first told me. Knives don't last long
Skizzlesnap
Well yeah at a meat packing facility. My friend is a chef and his knives are his Grandfather’s knives he used when he owned a restaurant.
Skizzlesnap
It comes down to honing them instead of sharpening them every time.
theycallmewillywonka
Honing means to sharpen...
TempusFugitive
different quality of steel will factor in a lot as well. cheaper, softer metal just won't last as long, and honing will have less effect
exenos
More so it's the kind of use like you noted. Different uses dull a knife differently requiring different amounts of touch up.
chefboyld
Not if you don’t buy cheap knifes that have to be sharpened after every cut. A good knife should retain its edge for a while.
YoungPilgrim
not if you're chopping meat for eight hours straight, no matter the knife going through meat and bone is going to dull the knife quickly
chefboyld
Well yeah after 8 hours sure.
angrybook
All bone cuts at work are done on the saw. The rest by knife. We don't have to sharpen daily.
Claytonious
Same here. 2 of us cutting, using 4 breakers& 4 boning knives. Full sharpen on everything every 2 weeks. Treat good steel well & it lasts
maxzero
Gas pump: It's clear that the cheapest (87% octane) is the most popular by wear, but the most expensive (93) seems next in line.
Trecares
Modern cars can use high octane gas if the engine computer can. Computer continually adjusts timing until it sees knock then backs off.
CochiseVeneficorum
Most stores don't actually stock 89 octane, if you buy 89, you are getting a 50/50 mix of 87 and 93.
Guidocat
Passenger cars tend to be tuned for 87. High compression cars, turbos, motorcycles tend toward 93/94. Don't know why they sell 89.
altrdgenetics
it looks like USA by the labels. Most of the cars from manu. only tune for 91 as I have been a few places where 93 was not available.
Guidocat
I moved to Colorado recently, at about 5000+ feet above sea level. You can't buy 93 here and 85 is considered regular.

Lierofox
Octane resists detonation caused by high temperatures/high compression. It actually burns SLOWER and makes less power in engines that (1)
Lierofox
aren't designed for it, or fuel management systems that can't take advantage of it by adding more timing.
NormandB
And dumb people buy expensive gas for cars not tuned to take advantage of it.
WookieWookieWookie
No, everyone buys the one their car is designed for, and most cars run on 89. Only an idiot buys higher octane for a regular car.
mindfunkie
i always put 93, not sure if its much of a difference
nero4ty2
it can actually be bad for your car if it's not designed for it
Lierofox
Higher octane fuels burn slower, and can leave deposits behind in the cylinder that end up glowing red hot and causing detonation (1)
Lierofox
as well as reducing the volume of the combustion chamber over time as it builds up more, causing higher compression ratios forcing you (2)
Lierofox
to continue using high octane gas to avoid pinging/knocking/detonation. If the manual calls for 87 octane, use 87.
Snooj
TIL female engineers know what the door plate is for.
pakz
Spreading germs?
JonnyTightlips
The female engineers are a lie...
Equinox42
There also tends to be fewer female students at engineering colleges
SexualConsent
Might be a combination of not many female engineering students, and them being shorter on average
theonceandfuturedan
TYL there's like 7 females in that engineering department.
theonceandfuturedan
Also move the damn strike plate if everyone strikes the top of the door. You're an engineering college ffs
InterwebTroll
My guess is that most people are right handed and to reach all the way across the body to open is just too much effort.
avervetmonkey
While this is probably the reason, still weirds me out since I'm a righty but if the door opens to the left I'll use my left.
paseo1997
They put the door plate in the wrong spot obviously.
MrA007
You'd also have to swap sides for the hinge
upvotehypnotoad
I never touch the door plate b/c thats where everyone else touches. Of course, maybe most ppl dont use the plate, and Im touching same spot
eetsumkaus
also they're shorter on average so...
author365
This was my thinking, too .
nickytwopens
Men also have a higher acidity of their palms then women. My dad's perscription bottles are all worn off because of this!
CommanderWilliamTRiker
And now have more cooties
VodkaReindeer
female engineers don't want to get germs from the push plate before touching their dicks!
TheValleyofGwangi1
please explain the dicks. I’ve never met a female engineer before... or maybe I have...
DARfuckinROCKS
I am confused.

StuntRaceFx
Females don't attend?
dtleanne10
How is this surprising to you?
51rebaS
Never had less than 70% men in my engineering classes. Physics 2 at community college was 100% men.
leftyepee
Oh hell no. And if you do attend, say hello to harassment and having to work twice as hard to be respected.
FartedWhileMakingUpName
I'd say this is the most obvious answer.
WaffleStompFantasy
Until you use Google and see the rates of women in engineering and sciences....you’re not an engineer I’m guessing
Teachertricks
Out of 150ish in my [Canadian] engineering class, 6 were female (4 Chinese, 2 white).
Teachertricks
I should note that this was about 15 years ago.
leftyepee
Don't worry. Nothing has changed. Last year, I was the only girl in 3 out of 4 of my ME classes.
Anonymous0726
Went to a summer camp at a top engineering school; out of 150 students, about 25 were female. Also, that school has been coed for less 1/2
Anonymous0726
30 years, despite it being 140 or so years old.
thorkun
Most likely this. Buddy studied mechanical engineering and females were at best 1:10 ratio.
MrA007
I saw 1 female in my first year of hs engineering she dropped out in the first week, 7 years later never saw a female in class and the class
MrA007
Kept shrinking, 4 guy's were all that was left in my last class
leftyepee
MechE has the worst ratio followed by Civil then Aerospace. I went for ME and NUE because I hate myself.

Found the not-engineer.
DARfuckinROCKS
What a stupid thing to generalize about. Haha
RaynWisp
90% sure it was because the ratio of men to women in engineering school was about 100:1 until just a few years ago
CharlieWoolf
That's the door in tho
comeflywithme
I’m just a carpenter and not an engineer but I’d guess it’s both the door in and the door out. There may possibly be another exit, though ;)
ILikeCharmanderOk
Do women not do this?
DARfuckinROCKS
I just hit it with my purse.
leftyepee
I'm a female in MAE. The department is currently 94% male students with no female professors. The girl's bathroom is always empty. I love it
Iamthemonkeymansowhatevercats
My university went from 7% to 20% over the time I was there. I remember my friend complaining that the bathroom might have somebody in it.
Sparkleponiecircuitie
I'm an female engineer and I have to share with the boys... So jealous of you ladies!
utur
This is kind of similar to metal concerts. Between sets the 'crazy bathroom line' is inverted. Womens no line, mens around the block.
Onja
Female SW developer here. Couldn't agree more, it was the best thing about UNI.
CurrentLevelOfAdulting
Female welder here. Having my own bathroom is the fuckin BEST!!!
Brac3forImpact
I've seen ladies rooms in old engineering buildings that definitely used to be coat closets.
leftyepee
Some of our floors only have female or male bathrooms because they converted the male bathroom into a female bathroom.
ashipthatshipsshippingships
Is it difficult being one of the only women? I'm a male occupational therapist. 90% of my colleagues are women.
leftyepee
I've had rape threats made towards me. Guys say derogatory things to me on a weekly basis. It's alright. There are plenty of good guys too.
ashipthatshipsshippingships
See, I honestly can't imagine that. Kudos to you for rocking out in a crazy environment

I'm a female getting my Master's in engineering and working part time at NASA. Both places bathrooms are always so empty I've actually run 1

Yea it's pretty awesome. Much better than my previous 7 years of teaching high school math!

How can I get to work at nasa?!
Lanabear110
I was a math teacher for 7 years, had a midlife crisis because it was awful, started with night classes, got internship, hired as contractor
iamlikelytoforgetthis
I'm a primary teacher, adore science!!!
Lanabear110
Into other females because neither of us expect anyone else to be there. 2
dokpsy
That's both hilarious and awesome. I hope more women enter the stems. This shits a nerdy af sausage fest
Lanabear110
When I taught math I used to try to encourage all my girls to be proud of being "good at math". It helped that I was young/relatable.
Nuttsy
I'd go on a limb and say it's mostly the E that's truly a sausage fest, but I only ever got to saw that one example of it all, for a bit.
