The F and J keys are called "Home Keys" The ridges allow a typist to easily feel their "home" position without looking at the keyboard. I learned this in typing class in 1980. And yes, we used typewriters, we didn't have computers that students could use back then.

[@miniidurao4843]

I agree. I just made a comment about two of these. I honestly think the actual intended purpose of the hole "for" the spatulas it's probably to hang the pots and pans on the wall. And the hole on the coke thingy I think it might be for easier opening since that hole exists in most sodas and also in canned food.

[@Tippel3]

@@miniidurao4843 the hole in the pots is indeed for that purpose. Like the hole in a sieve, many people think it's to hang it up but it is meant to put a spatula in there, so it doesn't slip off from the pot while used

[@brittyvegas9482]

Yea...like the holes in the pots and pan handles are for hanging your pots and pans in your kitchen ..or at least that's what i thought...because who would want the food to drip all over the handle of their pan while cooking?

[@WeAllLiveInTheTwilightZone]

I think over the last few years, the original purpose for items have been clouded by "hacks" and taken as original reasons. I would never put a spoon in the panhandle hole as the food would slide down the handle and there's a chance you could bump into it and knock the pan off the stove. I just use a folded paper towel.

[@SofieBjorkheim]

Right! Just looked messy af

[@Midorikonokami]

The ladle rest is literally for that.

[@RoadkillbunnyUK]

The hole in the handle is so you can hang it up. The hole in a pasta ‘spoon’ is for drainage and each design will have differing sizes and number of holes. The hole in the ring pull of the soda can is to save the company money in manufacturing by not using as much aluminium. The *hack’ crazy train since the 2010s has found new uses for a dizzying array of random things and claimed that was what it was for all along. The longer this craze continues the more they are starting to loop back to the original purpose or just going off the deep end in thinking up more and more deranged ‘true purposes’ for something very simple.

[@Freya778]

You could also rest the "dirty" end if the spoon on a saucer. It's easy to clean.

[@QuayHollywood]

Or, like, I do set a big cup of water on my stove and put any utensils in the cup that I'm cooking with. It makes clean up easy, accessibility easy and prevents food from sticking to the spook, spatula, etc.

[@chrismazz75]

The holes in the pot handles are for hanging them. Not so you can store a utensil at a 45 degree angle for the sauce to roll down. // Buttons: Because men weren’t dressed by chambermaids, they dressed themselves.

[@lykiaookami6070]

[@sluttymctits4496]

Exactly. It all depends on the model of stove. My previous apartment had a bottom broiler (took me too long to figure out that's what it was), while my current apartment as well as my childhood home had the storage drawer. The storage drawer doesn't get warm -- at all. Maybe some stoves have warmers, but it's weird to imply that all stoves have them.

[@eeflos]

Many of these are things that people have "discovered" a use for, not actual, intended designs. For example, the hole in the handle of a pot is so that it can be hung up for storage. You can, with some finagling, balance a spoon or spatula there, but that's not what the hole was designed for.

[@corrigandavidson2356]

Thank you! I was pretty sure the spoon thing was incorrect.

With car seats, again, it's a thing they *can* do, but not a thing they are *designed* to do.

[@Dixxi91]

Yeah, just because it fits doesn't mean it's supposed to go there xD Correlation does not prove causation. On a personal note: I do not wanna put my spatula into the hole of the pot, because then the sauce will drip down the entire spatula and make the handle messy, and then yes, it will also drip down onto the stove and make it messy anyways! This does not seem like a hack to me. No it does not. I just use a plate on the side for holding all my spatulas and such while cooking. Keeping the counter/stove a lot cleaner. and it's easy to put that plate into the dishwasher after. :)

[@beckylynn9640]

If the hole in the handle of pots was for a utensil it would be a terrible design since any liquid on it would then run down the handle...

The reason for the "detachable" headrests in cars is not correct and has nothing to do with "smashing your way out" of a car wreck. Headrests are designed to be detachable to allow for easy adjustment of the seat and to be removed for cleaning. The tempered glass of today's cars won't be broken by this, and even the metal supports aren't able to do this. The reason is more basic: to allow them to be adjustable, yet permit the headrest to be separate from the seat to make installation of the seat during production much easier than an all-in-one bulky seat. Actually, the Mythbusters show even did an episode on this. Getting the headrest OUT of the seatback is often a complicated job as the latch is BEHIND the person sitting in the seat, small and would involve reaching over one's shoulder to get at - not at all likely to help someone in an accident where they need to break a side window. The airplane window hole is in only ONE of the two panes of the window. It's purpose is to prevent the fogging the windows - NOT to relieve pressure in the plane! You DON'T WANT to lose pressure in the plane!

The easiest way to smash a window from the inside of the car is with the key: The base of the key in your palm, point of key extending between two fingers, press firmly against glass (look away to prevent glass in the eyes), push and twist. Modern fob keys of course won't work for this.

The purpose of those ridges back then was to prevent people from cutting or filing off some of the metal at the edge of the coin, bring them back in circulation at their full value and selling the silver clippings/dust seperately. No need for different ridge designs for different coins to fulfill that function, hence the identical ridges. That feature has become obsolete, because swiss coins don't contain silver anymore, and cutting/filing metal of the edge just isn't worth the effort. The Euro-coins I handle on a daily bases were given different ridges for the express purpose to make it easier for blind people to tell them apart.

Generally, the top is the beginning of the project and has a small hole that the separate pom-pom attaches to. You work in a circle for hats. Most of them don't add pom-poms at all. It's purely a stylistic choice.

[@cetkat]

@@deziphisher1763 It can be. It depends on how tight the starting circle is and where it's located. The straight beanies have them more often than the slouch style. There are ways to hide it.

Late comment is late, but I have to say that moths are still very much a problem if you own a lot of garments made of wool, cashmere, mohair, etc. Technically they'll eat other natural fibers too, but I can say from a great deal of experience that they vastly prefer pure wool and other hair-based natural fibers. We never had them until we started buying 100% wool garments, and then suddenly the little fuckers were all up in our shit. Also, it's not the moths that eat your clothes. Clothes moths actually have no mouths! It's their larva that eat your clothes. That is also why it's so difficult to get rid of clothes moths. You can't poison them, as they never eat! ~The More You Know~ 😅

[@leoniemarks4594]

They love viscose too, incidentally. I have a lot of viscose clothes: we had a terrible moth problem at our last house - once you've got an infestation, it's also impossible to get rid of them unless you remove everything and have the place fumigated. When we moved to our current house a couple of years ago we were very careful to make sure none of the little blighters came with!

The reason why people no longer really need to worry about moths eating clothes anymore is because most clothes are made from synthetic fibers or synthetic blends.

Charlotte gave up on the stapler trick before she learned that the position of the strike plate turns a "permanent" staple into a super-easy-to-remove temporary staple (or "pin" staple.) This is useful when handling large volumes of paper that you know you're going to unpin within a short time (e.g. when collecting together papers before binding them with a "comb" binder.) Of course, most offices use less & less paper every year, so I'll just go sit in the corner with my two-years-out-of-date comments about useless knowledge from the olden days. Ha!

As someone who has detailed almost every make and model, of your average daily driver vehicle. 95% of the headrests do not slide right off. There is a locking mechanism preventing swift removal of the headrest. there is a tiny hole the size of a paper clip, opposite the height adjustment button. You need to insert an object of that size to disengage the lock. (Similar to removing a mobile phone SIM card). Unless you’re Houdini, this is not a go to first option

Punts in the bottom of peanut butter jars are definitely to reduce volume, so the jar is the same size while having less peanut butter in them. It's for the same reason cereal boxes are the same width they always were, but are more narrow front to back. Make the product look the same on the shelf, while selling you less (most big companies do this instead of raising the price.) Punts, however, don't affect volume. You're always going to have a 750 ML bottle be 750 ml. The size and shape of the bottle changes with the size and shape of the punt to ensure there's still room for the same volume of wine.

Depending on the era, a well dressed man would most definitely have a “man servant” who helped him dress as it was very difficult to lace boots, put on stockings, put on a tie or jabot, do their hair, and all those things like lace and ribbons that needed to be tied. Of course, this was only the men who could afford both the fashion and the servant. Lower class husbands often helped their wives dress in the morning as most dresses had lots of tiny buttons in the rear or had to have corsets laced up. Whereas the serving class has clothes with ties so they were easier to put on (though women still wore stays, which were often laced but could be put on by yourself). There’s some fantastic videos on KZbin recreating dressing throughout different eras and at different classes!

Even for peanut butter it is to to have a blowout if the package is dropped like a mile jug. If a manufacturer tells it is a pound and it is found there is no a pound in the container they would be subject to fines and anyone who could prove they bought that brand would be owed a rebate for what was stolen from them. The little wet thing in the bottom of packaged fresh meat isn't for weight, it keeps the meat moist a little longer.

Fun Fact about airplane windows: They're shaped that way (curved "corners") as a MAJOR safety feature. Originally passenger planes were designed with perfectly rectangular windows, however it was soon discovered (through some absolutely terrifying plane rides and sadly many fatal crashes) that those perfect 90 degree corners caused cracks to form and expand outwards due to the stress on the aircrafts skin during flight... resulting in the ENTIRE ROOF of the plane being RIPPED OFF!! So the designers went back to the drawing board and gave the windows those sexy curves to stop the cracks forming in the first place. It single-handedly enabled passenger planes to even be a thing to this day because there were SO many incidents that at one point the industry was considering restricting flights to freight only - globally and permanently.

@༺Joe's-girl༻ Yes! Some people make the mistake of putting plastic lids in the bottom drawer of the oven. Most ovens it is a broiler and has blue flames that get super hot if the oven is turned to "broil ". It cooks fast from the top. -ex culinary student (but common sense I knew this about ovens before as I like the top of my pizza crispy and only takes 4 minutes after it's baked to broil the top layer of cheese D.G.B aka dark golden brown!

The 57 on the Heinz bottles refers to the number of different types of pickles they had at one time (57 varieties).

[@tracyllewellyn5942]

Thanks, I always thought it was 57 times before coming up with the original recipe or 57 tyoes of sauces they do haha!

[@susanyoung5447]

The ridges on the f and j keys were important when you used a typewriter. It was something that was taught in typing classes when I was young. We were taught to use them for repositioning your fingers when you had to take them off the keys. It was done to help you get your fingers back into the original position used in speed typing. Also the number 57 on the Heinz products used to refer to the number of spices and herbs used to season their products. I don't know if it refers to other products but it was used to indicate the number of spices in their steak sauce. Or at least that was the advertising gimmick used when they first brought it out.

So I’m at work watching this... and I happened to be stapling some invoices together. When you turn the staple bender part - IT MAKES THE STAPLE PRONG GO OUT (instead of inwards). Pretty rad man.

Love you Char-Char! You look so happy! The pencap one is an urban myth. It's actually designed to prevent suction so you can remove and replace the cap easily.

[@felicitygee381]

I don't think that is right Leah, I was a kid when the pen lids were changed over to include the hole here in the UK. The news reported that it was because of toddlers putting them in their mouth and choking on/swallowing the caps (as their windpipes are smaller than ours) it was to allow enough air to keep the kid alive ling enough to get to a hospital.

[@megcoleman6006]

That's wrong. Pen caps holes were made in case of a choking hazard , you can breathe if stuck in your throat

[@12leahlovely12]

There is no way a little hole in a pen cap is gonna keep you alive if you are choking on it. Especially with saliva getting in there. 😂

[@bg6b7bft]

When you take a typing class, they teach you to keep your fingertips resting on asdf and jkl; This lets you build muscle memory for where each letter is from each finger.

I feel like I am the only person my age I know who took typing in high school (early 2000s) I still type 80 words a minute

[@carolann811]

@@andrewthezeppo My son is 26; he never took typing in school - homeschooled for part of the time - but I made sure he understood at least what home row and touch typing is. He types faster than most people his age and often got accused of being an "adult" - like over 40 - because he spells out all the words in game chat. That's less of an issue as he's gotten older but at 16 he was forever being called "old" because he could type fast and spell.

[@slcRN1971]

In the mid1960s when I learned to type on those heavy metal typewriters, typing was a mandatory subject for both girls and boys. The keys needed a lot of force to get the key up to the paper. So while learning ‘muscle memory’, we also had very very sore fingers until we became used to typing.

[@sadie2melw]

@@andrewthezeppo I took typing class in high school. I graduated in 2008. I am still so grateful for that class because it made typing papers for college, or writing a story a breeze.

In typing class they call that middle row the “home row”. You use the ridges on the keys to ready your index fingers on for the most accurate typing capabilities!

[@shadow_knight9425]

My dad told me that the punt in wine bottles is actually used to hold the bottle properly when pouring the wine. If you use it "correctly" (for example if you are a waiter/waitress), you put your thumb in the punt and the other fingers under the bottle so that you can pour the wine using one hand without making the bottle fall and possibly break Hope you understood, I suck at explaining 😅

[@kellieevetts2637]

I am learning so much! Thanks! Ridges on F and J is a throwback to us who are old and learned how to touch type. It helps to orient our fingers on the Home Row so we don't have to look down at our hands when we move our fingers off the Home Row.

[@tyrroo]

"Ridges on F and J is a throwback to us who are old" It's not a freaking throwback, it's literally the reason why they still exist. If you learned how to type properly, then you know to place your fingers on the home row and don't need to look down. People with brains still use it that way.

3:44 Ridges on coins are also so blind people can identify the different coins easier too. 5:33 Same with the ridges on your keyboard for F and J - easier for partially blind or blind people when a brail keyboard isn't available - muscle memory.

Not just the visually impaired who type by touch. That's how it was taught in Typing Classes at my junior high.

Yeah I loved that! Cause over here in Germany weed is still really frowned upon and like many people smoke cigarettes. Here we would say "nooo not weed wtf?? Just normal cigarettes!!" Cause people think ur a junky if u smoke weed, also it's illegal here. Over there in canada(?) It seems like it's the other way round, people really dislike cigarettes and are okay with weed. But I love it, cause smoking weed occasionally is far less bad for u than smoking tabaco. I hope this spreads around the world!:D
