Jokes on you I realized I was like my dad when it was clear I was emotionally unavailable

My father is a carpenter. I was born rolling the end of the tape, molded by it.

"You merely adopted the tape"

All well and good until someone else uses the roll

[-] [email protected] 25 points 3 months ago

Oh btw, I'm only a sliver of tape and I'm going to rip off and you still won't know where the real start is

If you get really frustrated you can run your tongue around it. Your tongue is much more sensitive than your finger and will find the ledge. Gross though.

Imagine spotting a coworker going down on a tape roll.

"oh look Frank's going for the tapussy again"

[-] [email protected] 1 points 3 months ago

Hey, as long as you use more than the outer circumference length of tape at once, I'd say go ahead and use your tongue.

Also works for testing 9V batteries.

I hate that I have to scratch the whole thing but I somehow always forget to fold the end T-T

[-] [email protected] 4 points 3 months ago

Flip around to, uh, find out.

[-] [email protected] 4 points 3 months ago

As someone who packs a metric ton of boxes for a job...

I feel so seen

thankfully we have tape guns, so we only need to deal with this bullshit once per roll

[-] [email protected] 3 points 3 months ago

Just run your nail in a back and forth motion along the tape and you find the edge easily.

[-] [email protected] 3 points 3 months ago

Do you think this is how electrons feel all the time?

"Found it!!"

proceeds to tear the tape into strips that refuse to combine to peel the whole thing at once

Save the arrow! ↑↑↑↑

[-] [email protected] 1 points 3 months ago

Draw 3 internal arrows, that show the direction of fingernail scrape required.

I'm here

And here

And a lil bit here

A tip from the drama department:

...probably wouldn't as well with the specific type of tape shown in the OP, but for most other types, this is a good one to shove into your muscle memory when tearing off a piece.

The only true solution is fire.

The only fire solution is true.
