I love this meme because its also relevant to any code written 2+ years ago in the software development field.

Including code you've written yourself.

Sometime it's opposite. "Wow this is really well written code and there is really decent documentation all over the place. Who wrote this? .... WAT."

You're all wrong, that's a prime chaotic resonator that fits 4 fossils for end game crafting clearly. The romans were farming end game and we're not even to maps yet.

It's a clever torch stand. If it's empty, you put your (long) torch in the top hole (stabilized by the bottom hole). If there is already one, you slide it two notches down instead and pivot the whole device (so it's balanced). Same with the third, but pick/pivot out of plane with the others. Works with one hand, keeps houses from burning down, great widget.

It's obviously a dry spaghetti measuring device. /s

Nah, it’s a knitting tool.

[–] AnyOldName3@lemmy.world 12 points 2 years ago (2 children)

This was debunked - the claim was based on scale replicas being good for knitting fingers for gloves, not a full-size one.

[–] OurTragicUniverse@kbin.social 3 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

How big were the full size ones?
(Also does snyone know wtf are these even called, so I can look it up?)

[–] _lilith@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago

for gloves!

[–] Swedneck@discuss.tchncs.de 1 points 2 years ago

i cannot visualize how on earth this would work for two torches, that makes no sense at all

Just because you can, doesn't mean you should try.

That's clearly a Liahona. Mormons know what that is.
