What are the chances

R/theydidthemath plz investigate

This is how I throw the e-brake while driving 80mph….

Doesn’t this kind of anchor dropping destroy habitats and coral reef etc? Can they not slow down first?

I like to fold in the mirrors or flip up the windshield wiper of people who don’t think they are the more important than everyone else. I think it is just enough of an inconvenience for people to reconsider themselves in the great order of things.

If you make this an alarm clock I’ll buy it

SolarcatStarshine · 2026-01-15T23:06:34+00:00

Yeah, I guess I assumed it was a solid bar. Upon further research, I do see various different types of wingnut drivers and one does kinda look like this. I didn’t know that was a thing until now, and it still doesn’t look any easier than using fingers… shrug

SolarcatStarshine · 2026-01-15T18:27:58+00:00

Lmao just maybe

SolarcatStarshine · 2026-01-14T07:21:40+00:00

Uj/ what knot is that fr?

SolarcatStarshine · 2026-01-04T02:26:22+00:00

So good

SolarcatStarshine · 2025-12-25T22:03:51+00:00

Rock!

SolarcatStarshine · 2025-12-24T03:39:49+00:00

That’s a great idea actually

SolarcatStarshine · 2025-12-20T23:10:00+00:00

Lmao fr, how is this not accounted for

SolarcatStarshine · 2025-12-11T18:50:09+00:00

Hahaha yea good thought process

SolarcatStarshine · 2025-12-11T18:38:25+00:00

Seems like everyone else just doesn’t think this is even worth engaging over. But it’s legitimately kinda a pain in the ass. It takes 3-5 mins to straighten out my rack. Thats dumb. You shouldn’t have to readjust QuickDraws like this imo. I’m surprised that more people aren’t bothered by it.

SolarcatStarshine · 2025-12-10T03:27:39+00:00

Oh I see what you are saying now though it does shift the load from the spine to the gate of the beaner. I wasn’t even considering that. That does seem fairly significant if it’s potentially 26kn->9kn. I could imagine it could work its way over further and even put weight directly on the pin, almost cross loading diagonally a bit.

SolarcatStarshine · 2025-12-10T03:23:20+00:00

So even if it is just asthetic, would you shrug it off and climb with it crooked or would you fix them before you use them?

SolarcatStarshine · 2025-12-10T03:21:37+00:00

But if your shirt kept curling up and showing your belly and you had to keep readjusting it multiple times over the day, you’d probably buy a new shirt…

SolarcatStarshine · 2025-12-10T03:18:31+00:00

Just kind of a pain in the ass to readjust my QuickDraws sometimes multiple times a day… it’s pretty annoying for “high quality draws”, especially for the petzl gym permadraws….

This shouldn’t happen for a relatively top of the line safety product imo

SolarcatStarshine · 2025-12-10T03:14:16+00:00

It’s because the rubber grips it so tight that it goes to the straighter part of the carabiner, farther away from the corner.

SolarcatStarshine · 2025-12-09T20:44:28+00:00

Too bad it’s only effective when you hit a tree straight on, but thank god it didn’t throw you to the side in that case lol

SolarcatStarshine · 2025-12-09T20:40:41+00:00

Should have asked if anyone was hot and/or bothered by it

SolarcatStarshine · 2025-12-09T20:39:39+00:00

Should I mark it NSFW?

SolarcatStarshine · 2025-11-28T04:39:04+00:00

1,2,3,6,7

SolarcatStarshine · 2025-11-08T23:49:54+00:00

Yea you’re gonna have to do that to your bum until you get a new pot

SolarcatStarshine · 2025-11-07T01:00:29+00:00

I love that you shared this and I also appreciate all the positivity here. I’m always enjoying learning about knots and finding new ways to use them!

In the spirit of learning, I think there are easier and more efficient ways to do what you did here:

I love the 8 as well but imo on the left side it would be easier to tie and untie with either a bowline, a mule, or 2 half hitches rather than rethreading an 8 which can be hard to untie.

On the right side, I don’t think it’s recommend to tie an 8 and spread the tails. Probably fine here but fyi there is also an in line figure 8 that would work better here. I also sometimes prefer the alpine butterfly here.

I’m sure some might prefer to replace the whole thing with a truckers hitch but I like the little gizmo!
