This amazes me to no end. My high school which I attended more than 5 years ago banned the use of chalk boards in the classrooms that still had them because apparently chalk dust can be irritating to some people. My university only has white boards and screen projectors. I didn't even know chalk was still cherished in some parts of the academic world. It makes me wonder just how amazing this chalk must feel to write with. It sounds like the equivalent to a smooth art tablet but physically drawing on it.

[@cbalan777]

You can see the quality of it in the video. The one guy says "It's the densest" which translates to a more opaque line, and yet he also says "It erases the cleanest" meaning it doesn't have the disadvantage of smearing all over the place, at least not as badly as others might. The formula for the chalk is probably a higher ratio of gypsum to binder, and the binder is probably not the standard type used in chalk.

[@tydshiin5783]

Honestly, if you have decent chalk, it's very nice, kinda like working with harder pastels, but then you got ones that are so hard it's like a rock

“There’s incredible value to this but, the value is in using it up, not hoarding it.” Such an incredible quote expressed towards something people might think is just chalk.

[@mr.mercury4247]

The same concept goes with money honestly. There is no point in hoarding money.

[@pendlera2959]

@@mr.mercury4247I don't think money applies as well. The point of saved money is to serve as a buffer if your income stream is interrupted or to make proportionately larger purchases. For instance, it's much cheaper to save up for and buy a house or car than it is to pay interest on it for several years. However, with chalk or art supplies, their value does not increase with time. If you don't use your good chalk, you have to use cheap chalk, which is the same result as running out of good chalk, except you risk dying before you get to use the good stuff. With art supplies, if you don't use them, you don't improve. Waiting until you're a better artist before you use your art supplies is pointless because you can't improve without using your art supplies. And a blank sketchbook is no better than a sketchbook filled with crappy drawings.
