Happy Father's Day to all the dads and everyone who has Dad Energy

@ifixcoinops so, my dad was hopeless with mechanical stuff and I didn't realize until college that wood screws were not made of wood. Similar realization much more recently that metal drill bits did not refer to drill bits made of metal.
I love mechanical stuff and I'm suuuuper late to it. I don't have a point to make, just something amusing to share.

@iris @ifixcoinops But confusingly, treenails are made out of trees!

And don't forget tin whistles and fog horns!
-
@attoparsec @ifixcoinops TIL of treenails.
-
@GustavinoBevilacqua @attoparsec @ifixcoinops even I did not think fog horns were made of fog, thankfully.

Then learn another one: the "double head nails".
It sounds like a prank, but actually they are very useful for temporary woodworking.
-
@GustavinoBevilacqua @iris @ifixcoinops Plus, they make great little swords with a bit of filing.
-
@GustavinoBevilacqua @attoparsec @ifixcoinops it *does* sound like a prank. What next, double-sharp-ended nails?? (ouch, ow, oh no)
-
These?
I make them by myself, when I need one…

@GustavinoBevilacqua @iris @attoparsec @ifixcoinops ok brilliant but surely these are called double-pointy nails, no?
-
@poswald @iris @attoparsec @ifixcoinops
Probably.
I'm not resposible for the mistakes of other people.
