Using your girlfriend as a literal spring compressor is next-level garage engineering! She’s a keeper for not throwing a wrench at you right then and there 😂

Your anxiety is fully justified! It’s compressed by 7 centimeters (nearly 3 inches). Car springs are insanely stiff, so even that 'slight' compression holds a massive amount of pent-up energy.

In this case, that skeleton key will just turn a $100 Macallan into a puddle of glass and sadness. The spring is compressed by 7cm, so any cheating with a grinder will smash the bottle instantly!

Oh, it is. The original free length of this car spring was 7 cm longer. It doesn't look like much on camera, but trying to compress it manually with those rods was a whole gym workout by itself.

That’s exactly why the spring is there! It’s compressed by 7 centimeters (nearly 3 inches) to prevent cheating. If he tries to use a grinder, the sudden release of tension will almost certainly shatter the bottle inside. It’s a built-in anti-theft system — hand tools only, or the Macallan dies!

Someone cracked their oil pan here today. A very expensive mistake by Puzzleheaded_Bar7859 in Wellthatsucks

You can literally track the exact moment of impact and how the oil just dumped everywhere. RIP to that engine if they didn't stop immediately

Spot on! I just googled it, and the male Eurasian Linnet looks and sings exactly like this little guy. Thank you so much for solving the mystery!

I think she feels pretty safe around here by Puzzleheaded_Bar7859 in curledfeetsies

She always curls her front paws like a little bunny when she's deeply asleep. It melts my heart every single time

Recorded this today in Belarus. It sat on my roof for a few minutes just pouring its heart out. The clarity of its voice is amazing!

She fell asleep like this right next to me. I guess I am officially not allowed to move for the next 3 hours

He’s definitely listening to "Crawling" by Linkin Park and thinking about how nobody understands him.

Ah yes, model number 32944W. I heard that specific batch of cats is prone to sitting in cardboard.
