15 Things You Didn't Know The Purpose Of!

- Top things you didn’t know the purpose of! These are the everyday items and things you didn’t know the use for!
#14. “Pen Cap”-- You have definitely noticed the tiny hole in the top of a cap and may have used it to try and make a whistle or pretended it was a tiny spyglass. Most people believe this hole has something to do with preventing a pen from drying-out but this is not the case. The hole in the pen cap actually serves as a safety feature. In the event that a small child swallows one, the hole allows air to pass through and reduces the risk of suffocation.
#13. “Measuring Tape Tools”-- The modern measuring tape machine is a handy invention that most construction workers and contractors can’t live without, but even some of the most skilled workers might not know it has two incredible yet simple features. First there is the serrated edge on the metal end of the tape. This was put into the design so that if you desired you could put a minor scratch or indentation into the surface you are measuring, in order to give you a marker to make further measurements or designs off of. The other feature is right next to the serrated edge. You may have noticed the small hole that is commonly located in the metal tip. So what’s the purpose of this? Well this is so that if you are measuring something from a point where a nail or screw is you can hook the tape onto the nail and hold the tape in place.
#12. “The Quarter’s Edge”-- You probably have spied the hundreds of tiny grooves that mark the outside edge of a quarter but not thought twice about it having a purpose. But these tiny ridges actually once served an important function and no it’s not just so magician’s can get a better grip during coin tricks. Up until recently, historically speaking, the cost of the metals in a coin reflected the coins value so many people took to shaving the edges off of the coins and then used the rest of the coin to purchase items as if the coin still had full value. They would then save up their shavings and melted them together to create new coins or just sell the chunks. In order to combat this, coin minters started putting these ridges on their coins so that retailers could tell whether the coins had been shaved. This practice, though not necessary today, is carried on for the sake of tradition and aesthetic. So why don’t nickels have them? Because no one cares about nickels.
These videos are like adding words to an essay to make it longer
Oh this comment satisfies my cynicism deep down :)
😂😂😂 yessss
Just gotta get it last 10 minutes mate

I just came here to know the purpose of the pocket on a pair of underwear.
@Amanda B That's horrible, but okay.
Samee♡
Happy Ball-ROBLOX and more I see those panty pockets everyday. About time I figure out what they’re for.

@@LegitMan335 it's not actually made to hold period products
@@misshappyballl How are drugs horrible? If we legalized everything and made all you want of whatever you want OTC, you'd have way fewer overdose deaths ( because the drugs would be of a known and consistent quality ), jails wouldn't be overcrowded, law enforcement would be able to focus on murderers, child molesters, and others who need to be arrested, you'd have fewer young people getting into drugs because they aren't some forbidden fruit, drug addicts would be functional members of society instead of committing crimes ( doing the drugs at the appropriate times and places ) I could go on and on, but shouldn't it be your choice what you put into your own body?
‘Because no one cares about nickels’. That’s the purest message I’ve heard all day
I would be much more impressed with this if you actually showed us these things as you tried to tell us about them. Actually hang a bag on the cart and show me what you're talkin about ect
Yeah like we couldn't even get a picture of the Converse shoes laced up that way ?
Rebecca Fanson My complaint as well.
How about just try it yourself? After all, that is the point of the video. I promise nothing bad will happen to you if it doesn't work.
Agreed! I came to see if anyone else commented on this. It's infuriating when someone is supposed to be showing us the use of something and they don't SHOW us the damn use. What's worse, none of the images they use in the video properly even show us the loops. I'm sitting there with the video paused going wtf is he even talking about. So I did a search. Here's a good explanation with pictures showing their use. guff.com/somebody-finally-figured-out-what-these-weird-loops-on-shopping-carts-are-for
@@adamaj74 I think I saw 30 people who left the same exact comment. Trust me, you're not alone.
I have found that the best place to store clothes is on the floor. Not only is there a lot more space on the floor than in a dresser or closet, but you can also see all your clothes. You save time by not having to fold things, and you get exercise when you bend over to pick something up. Great way to use all that wasted space. One more special advantage is that your friends won't want to come to your house if your floor is covered with clothes, so you get to go to their houses and eat their snacks instead.
Lmao
Plus you won't have to deal with the annoying mishap of clothes falling off their hanger
Your genius
Op obviously doesn't have a cat, dog, kids, or SO in their life.
Genius!
Talks about lacing the converse in the unused holes... Doesn't show how.... Cool.
BiGLiPZiT Talks about using bag loss loops, also doesn't show how.
That's what comes from depending upon stock images and videos instead of creating one's own.
Didn't show the shape of the unfolded Chinese food containers either. Hacky vid lol
BiGLiPZiT ikr!!
Google is your friend.
That small pocket in your jeans is for your salary.
Lmao sad but true
Lmao!!!!! Yes!!!
😂😣😪
🤣😂😆😄😀😐😕🙁☹️😣😖😢😭
Woah bold of you to assume I actually have a salary that is big enough not to get lost in that pocket
The pen caps didn't have the whole in my childhood :D I guess I am old
Sanam Janamian a choking hazard that breaths
Put a bit of effort into the images...
"The half belt was used to get the extra material out of the way" *doesn't show example*
"The extra converse holes can be used for other types of lacing" *doesn't show example*
The whole video is like that
They also don't show how to unfold the chinese food container, and don't show how to use the "hooks" on the shopping cart or even where they are. Defeats the whole point of talking about either. Sloppy.
Yes, yes, yes! I had to pause the video at many points to get a closer, longer look at the feature being described.
Very true I hate it when they were clear that was a dead giveaway leave that makes coating good old Bic pens had way more uses than writing especially when stop manufacturing McDonald's spoons for Stringer coffee you might be too young to remember that they took them off the shelves immediately in the Reagan Administration they were the perfect little spoons for nose candy and for the devil heroin dealers to make their bags with the perfect measurement I don't know I just heard that if you don't believe me Google it lol you fucking TH-cam gigs and I'm becoming one I hate it but I love it
the holes on pen caps are for...
doesn't show example
I use my stationary exercise bike as a clothing rack. You wouldn't believe the amount of items it can hold, from the handle bars to the seat. 10/10 very useful.
Lol
Haha! I see what you did there. ;)

*Leaping Lynx* I clearly missed something, could you explain please?
Many people do not know this but the little stick on the left side of the steering wheel is not there just for show. It's actually used to alert the other drivers on the road that you will soon be making a turn. Amazing.
Duh
It’s called a turn signal
@@madisonbeckett4779 you is smart.
This was stupid but I watched it all and left a comment.
I watched it but didn't leave a comment. And it was still stupid.

Yeah the panties one is absurd
and i liked that comment.
I use youtube videos like these to remind me that I need to get a life and/or quit wasting the entire evening and go to bed. Thank you and good night.....
I honestly feel sorry for myself!
this is the relatable content i came for

So there’s a hole on the tab on a can of beans for my straw? It all makes sense now
Brian Does Things EXACTLY!
brian does things or should i call u brain does these things, that beans thing was very funny thanx for the laugh. Sorry BRIAN,Smiles, Pippi
Brian Does Things ...hmm who knew that beer is also supposed to be drank from a can with a straw 👍
And your beer...
Thats funny dude
15- Jeans small pocket was originally for a pocket watch
14 - Pen cap is to prevent choking
13 - measuring tape metal edge is to scratch on a surface to mark it or to latch onto a screw or nail to hold in place
12 - quarters were shaved off back in the day for a reason that isn’t relevant today
11 - Hole in the tab of a soda can is to hold a straw
10 - clothing that comes with extra buttons/fabric in a small bag is to test how they’re affected in your washer
9 - small metal loops in grocery cart are to hang grocery bags although this video didn’t even show demonstration or pics as examples
8 - half belt was a way to keep warm and be used to tighten clothing back in the day
7 - fuel gauge on dashboard has an icon of a an arrow/hose letting you know what side to pull up to when getting gas
6 - converse holes on the side are for having your laces go through them if wanted
5 - pill bottle cap can be placed on top of the bottle but upside down for easy access every time you need to take a pill. That way you can just lift up the lid instead of unscrewing it from those orange medicine bottles every time. For people who would have a hard time opening otherwise(elderly or if you have hand problems)
4 - margins on paper originally for preserving writings. By having margins you had more room on the edge that so if the borders of your paper deteriorated then your actual writing would still survive. Like if rats chewed on the edges of the paper. Margins on paper have just been kept ever since.
3 - ketchup cups are meant to be unfolded to allow room for more ketchup or easy access for dipping. Chinese boxes are also meant to unfold.
2 - cotton ball on top of beanies were to cover up unsightly seams and also protected from hitting your head under a boat dock back in the day
1 - underwear’s small pocket is for hygiene
Yep. That covers it. TY. 🤔🙂
That's it?!?!? Hygiene ???
Volaire j
You're a godsend thank you
For hygiene. But still stanky tho hahah
Hey up lad! Cans used to have a ring-pull which came completely OFF the can - they ALSO had a hole in.
Yeah, we all know that was so you could hook all your beer tabs together, then when you were driving home & the cop pulls you over & asks how many beers you've had, all you had to do was hold up the string of tabs. That way you didn't have to talk, so he couldn't smell your alcohol breath!
Good point. BTW, I'm old enough to remember when cans didn't have a ring-pull at all. You had to punch two holes in the top with a metal tool. One to let the liquid out, and one to let air in.
@@gilessteve Me too mate. We, probably both predate cans altogether.
Still got the wee Gizmo, one end bottles t'other end for cans.
;¬)
@@briankane6547 I bet you can remember bottles with a marble in the end! lol
The extra hole makes it easier to grip.
It would have been of more value to actually demonstrate the Converse lacing and the Ketchup/Catsup cuplet opening up.
Agree
I'm not sure I even buy that explanation. The cuplet is folded up that way because it's easier for a machine to cut it and shape it, making it mass-producible and cheaper. Same with the chinese food container -- easier to manufacture and easier to build on the fly. I think people are reading in potential uses never intended, and anyone stupid enough to unfold their Kung Pao Chicken container is going to get a lap full of permanent stain.
To unfold a Chinese takeout box you first have to remove that wire handle. That's about as easy as folding a fitted bed sheet.
They call it CONVERSE's design. Well let's get this fact straight - ALL low-income kids word shoes just like these, with the little circle on the side - we called them high tops and they were the cheapest shoes you could buy. Converse somehow took the cheapest shoes available and made them expensive. And people with money to waste started buying them because of the name... go figure.
It would have been of more value to comment something not already said by 20 other people. Sorry I couldn't resist.
The comments section of this video is much more interesting than the actual video.
rambo2021 You know a vid is bad when the comments are more interesting than the vid
lol ikr
But clearly it was interesting enough to stimulate people to write interesting comments. Most videos don't.
rambo2021 p
rambo2021 I've not been watching ive just been chatting
Dude would you just show the thing you're talking about when you talk about it?
I was yelling the same thing, like how does the fecking converse look when it's laced through the mystery holes?!?! Huh?!?! How?!?! And I don't care to google because this should've been shown in the video in the first place.
I watched the grocery store bit twice. I'm still not 100% sure what he was talking about. I used to bag groceries not so long ago too.
Xanofar On most shopping carts, there’s a weird little upside down U of metal on the back of the child seat. You put the handles of a bag you don’t want to get squished over that U to hang. Doesn’t work with paper bags though, unless they have handles.

I thought the hole in the pen cap, was for when my pen explodes, the ink can freely leak into my pocket.
lmaooo xD For real..
Same
IKR? I'm not buying that crap about a breathing hole for kids. Otherwise why wouldn't billiard balls have holes drilled through them? God knows how many people choke on billiard balls every year.
Barbara Donegan wait really??
I swear to god, if people aren't lighting themselves on fire on fire they're busy betting their friends they can regurgitate a billiard ball. Doesn't anyone go into a bar and just drink any more?
Now I have to google all the explanations.. brilliant!
Many of these seem to be clever uses rather than intentional design features as they are portrayed here. For example the original patent for the “Paper Pail”(Chinese takeout box) makes no mention of it being usable as a plate, but instead states the way it is folded is to allow it it to be made from a single flat sheet while not requiring any seems that would need to be sealed to prevent liquid from escaping
why didn't they visually show us how the hook on the shopping cart works? and how you lace the shoes?
I wondered the same thing. Lazy reporting with stock photos is why.
There's round hoops ( half moon)
About where a child's feet would be when sitting too hold ur bread and eggs on the outside of the cart
(There's only Two)
Not sure on the Holes??????
One of our grocery stores actually has these along the tops of the sides of the cart, and yes, the baggers use them.
You hang your plastic bags on the hooks.

The purpose of the hole in the tab of a can is not for holding a straw. The hole is there to save on the amount aluminium needed to make the tab. It just happened to work out great for holding a straw.
I'd have to say you're right since the can of noodle soup I had for lunch also had a hole in the tab and I don't know of anyone who'd wanna suck noodles through a straw.
I can absolutely guarantee that the unsewn gussets in knickers are not for tampons.
Lol
Maybe it's for the string? Idk.
The only thing that makes sense to me is to line a pad in there. But then you end up with bloody underwear that you'd probably throw away at the end of the day.
I’m literally scrolling thru the comment section liking every single comment bc all y’all are much more interesting than the actual vid

Thanks! Lol

If the soda can thing is true.. then why is the same tab used for things like dog food and tuna? Who's sipping that?
Oh, doesn't everyone?
@TrollFace nah, tuna is gross. Dog food on the other hand.
I think over time making tabs that way just became the common thing to do, and I guess it saves a little metal.
Good call... ur right.
It’s true that these tabs do hold straws in place. I’m sure machinists patented one design-and it is now used for all tabs on all cans. (Why have 2 designs?) Not to mention, that hole makes it easier to maneuver the tab, to open a can. FWIW, the golden rule of design is: Form Follows Function. ;-)
In 20 years they will probably be like “did you know that tide pods were actually created for your washing machine?”

Any guitar player can tell you that little pocket in jeans is for carrying guitar picks.
No it's for keeping your weed
@@bettyswollocks7683 That's where I put my 2 cents!!
Drum key!!! Another egotistical guitar player🥁
Exactly
The hole isn't there for a straw. It is there because rolling the metal makes a stronger structure so they can use thinner sheets of metal.
Chinese takeout boxes are not meant to be unfolded for "plates", folding a piece of card stock is simply a good way to make cheap leak resistant containers without fancy manufacturing techniques like glueing a bunch of precisely cut seams.
Etc.
Dual purpose?
MyTech the whole is actually there for a straw. Do a little bit of research. I'm guessing you are a metal worker or possibly a welding student that just recently picked that up as knowledge. while what you said is true, it is just a side effect.
Umm. No it wasn't. Do a little research yourself. The old pull tabs also had a hole in them, for strength. Guess what. You can't use a straw on a pull tab. And guess what else. If they didn't roll the metal up, it wouldn't be strong enough to withstand being pulled up and not bending.
And as per a comment below, do you use a straw on dog food and tuna and other cans that have the same type of pull?
It's for strength and usage of less material. Cheaper price point.
I don't care I like the straw theory better.

You should have made clips that demonstrated these things, like opening up the ketchup cup.
That would require using a camera instead of stock footage. Which is more work. Like sewing a panty gusset closed.
Long before that type of cup was used for ketchup (long before fast food chains, actually), we'd get Italian Ices in cups like that and yup: You unfold them and drink whatever was left in the cup. Authentic pizzerias in Jersey and NYC, sportsfans!

All the old-timers called him tough as gristle _and_ breathably soft.
The soda tab has a hole for structural support. It's a flat sheet of aluminum as strong at the hinge by the rivet before the edges are rolled, thickening the tab up and giving it a tube like resistance to bending. If it wasn't reinforced it would bend before breaking open the scored top.
And where are these "cart hooks", not a single cart shown had any hook or post like thing on them. If you going to make a video about 'thing you may not know about', you probably need to show what your talking about.
Yeah I still don't get what he's talking about with the cart hooks TBH.
Me too, couldn't figure out where the hell they were
Well they’re lazy ass film production team because they might have taken all these from a stock footage. But took so much effort to get a lady just to mention the list of numbers lol or those might be stock audios lmao
If you're standing facing a cart like you'd be pushing it... the hooks are around where your thighs would be below where the child seat area is. They're not really hooks, just small triangles jutting up from the cart. I'm a cashier and had a customer show me that a few days ago... never heard of it before then. She hung her bags of bread on the hooks and I was like "WHOA!" :p
That is an intelligent answer (about the soda tab hole). I never thought about that, but makes perfect sense. Well done.

😅Your comment is slept on❤
Is it just me or when the girl was drinking her soda I started laughing 😂 BC she just looked hilarious!
Look like she was making out with the can lmao
I laughed when they showed her and he said "convenient hole!" 😂
The majority of these fall into one of two categories.
1: extremely common knowledge.
2: something someone on Reddit made up and you think is now fact. (Like the ketchup cups and takeout boxes)
Yes, you CAN do those things. But it wasn’t the reason they are made like they are. It’s because they needed a way to make a flat piece of cardboard or paper hold things with no/minimal leakage.
Dave Arsenault um actually yes that's why the containers are like that.
Moshpittin' Kitten no they aren’t.
Yes, if they didn't enable various disposable things to be made from a flat piece of paper, it would be necessary to glue different surfaces together, as with paper cups which have those flat bottoms attached to the cylinder with glue or wax or whatever.
Exactly. Otherwise they wouldn't be in the shape it's disposed as. And if unfolding it was it's actual purpose than why the hell would the manufacturers go through the process of folding it.
Phillup N. Syder why do bendy straws not come packaged already stretched out? Shuddup
If you think that the gusset can be used by women to hold their period products in place, then you don't understand how those products work.
He didnt say period products, he said hygiene products. Toothbrush, nailclipers, maby some toilet paper to wipe your ass later.
Red T Yeah that definitely makes more sense!!
Argeaux2 maybe a demo is in order ...(gets comfy)
Red T So it means that Men don't use toilet paper,a toothbrush etc haha
Red T have you seen women's underwear? Bwhahaha! This is so hilarious, I have been giggling all day. I believe he meant period products but hygiene products include period products. Trust me, I know this. :D :D Please tell me you have not experience with someone who carries their toothbrush nestled in their genitals.
How the HELL can leaving the end open to air PREVENT drying out?
You see this one on a lot of videos like this. And every time I have the same thought. I guess America realizes we're stupid. I also like the medicine commercials. That read if you're allergic to this medicine or any of its ingredients do not take said medicine!
My exact same thought.
well u see so that air can come out of the cap
The comments are the only good thing about this video.
Frigid - the comments cover all the flaws I noticed in the vid.
More accurate too
I laced up my Converse sneakers like they said, through the holes in the side, and fell down the damn stairs. But it was a GOOD fall down the stairs.
For the most part...I agree! But I do "loves me some gramma 😉" battles!
My favorites are when the "corrector" is just is DEAD WRONG and then 99 people jump in fixing everyone's 💩! It goes from a more likely than not misused "your" to any and every common (plus) grammatical faux pas, typo, and auto -correct you could wish for! From my seat on the sidelines, I often "lol" or verbally groan at comments! I try to remain a neutral party, but once in a while, I can't help myself...after the 127 comment, I might be forced to 👍 or 👎 something!

The extra holes in the Converse shoes are for lacing. Okay. SHOW ME.
The loops on a shopping cart are for hanging shopping bags. Okay. SHOW ME.
Do you need a picture of hanging shopping bags really?
@@dickterpene8697 Why not? They showed us a picture of the heavy items at the bottom of the cart, like we couldn't imagine that.
@@gilessteve Probably some stock footage that they had. point is they're lazy and you don't desperately need to see some shopping bags being hung on a cart.
@@dickterpene8697 You are correct, I don't _desperately_ need to see it. It's an attention to detail thing though. They have 403k subscribers so are earning good money from their videos.
@@gilessteve just report the video.
#6 why didn't they show what the shoes look like with the laces going through the extra holes?
Because they dont actually know.
yes good question.. i think it is for air only... they made up that lace it through stuff ...
In the military, lots of boots have holes just like that, but with tiny screens. They’re for, you guessed it, ventilation.
Because it's a low effort channel that only uses widely available stock clips, and a clip of this specific situation probably wasn't findable.
they didn't demonstrate anything in this video. just used stock footage.
Poorly researched. Half of these are true the other half are either completely false or unintentional benefits
This is one truth.
Well 15 doesn't split evenly in half so are 7 or 8 of them true? And were you going to enlighten us and tell us which ones? :)
Sarah Berkner I’d guess that R M is going by the smell test and isn’t going to go through the effort of rewatching the video to record a list and source better research. Clearly, the video creators weren’t as concerned with accuracy as they were with getting views.
I, for one, figured most of the items would be boring or inaccurate, but maybe one would be enlightening. I was wrong.
False.
I call shenanigans on the hole in the pen cap allowing a child to breathe. Try breathing through it and see how well it works out for you.
No shit. It's to let air out as you put the pen in. Otherwise, it causes air pressure and keeps the pen from going in and a vacuum that would keep the pen from coming out
The pen cap is BS, because a one month old child’s windpipe is almost the same diameter as a toilet paper tube, which is the same diameter as a choke tube which is for testing whether or not an object would get stuck.
Sometimes I use toilet paper to blow my nose. Life hack!
I've made toilet paper wreath before with a coat hanger lol I love your nose blowing part that was genius lol
R G I thought I was the only one who did that...I thought I was special!!!
You'll loose toliet paper and it'll scratch your nose.
I thought I was alone
I legit use that instead of tissue paper lol
And all this time I thought the panty gusset was for the pocket watch..thanks for clearing that up for me!
it for easy accs when you gotta let you fingers do the walkin'n
Would have worked too were it not for that distracting second hand making its presence known sixty times per minute.
erin busby hahahahahaha
Hahahahahaha!
Rats. Now it won't be as fun to check the time.
Jeans with rivets are heavy duty, but the material used for the pockets themselves is the thinnest material known the man.
it's not called the small pocket. it has always been called the watch pocket.
That is its name, but not everybody knows this. In fact there are people right now in the world trying to fumble coins out of that pocket, thinking, 'that doesn't work so well really'
Many might also not not know that wristwatches haven't been around that long, and what was there before that.
In the UK my parents always called it a ticket pocket. It was the perfect size to hold you bus ticket, especially if it was a return ticket. :)
I always used it to put my spare hair-ties, or my breath-mint strips
@@MissPernickety yep, we always called it a ticket pocket too... And incidentally, Charles Cornish, I now live in Cornwall! ☺️
I called it my gold pocket. Used it to put my Double Eagle gold coins for years, before Roosevelt took us all off of the gold standard and we all had to turn in our gold coins. I am now 102 years old, and can still post comments like I did when I was 24.
I can't believe I watched the whole thing. Disappointed in myself.

Page margin are historically to allow for bookbinding. Traditional bookbinding methods literally involved sewing the pages together with needle and thread, and running the thread through the cover. This could consume a considerable amount of page space, especially if a bookbinder wasn't particularly talented or experienced.
Also, bindings were not nearly as durable back then, and could tear apart, suffer gradual wear through normal use, or otherwise fail and cause a book to fall to pieces. Whether performing maintenance on an encyclopedia or repairing a now-illegible text, this would require rebinding, where first you would cut off the previously bound portion plus a bit, to remove any paper torn or compromised by the damage. You would then take additional real estate on the page for the new binding. I'n this fashion, old books would "shrink" as they aged, due to this maintenance.
To ensure that the book's actual content remained undamaged and legible, significant margins were all but universal. By providing plentiful dedicated space for binding work, there would be minimal risk to the book's content.
Even though we now use many more simple, more advanced bindings now (from glue to 3 ring binders to hybrid bindings and more), this was commonplace and expected when it first appeared, and because these companies don't want to spend money on redesigning their product for little reward at the risk of alienating consumers with a new look, they leave the old feature in. Besides, people have found many side benefits to having a wide margin, such as the uses noted in the video.
Also, while I'm primarily discussing full-page binding due to the context vis-a-vis notebook paper, packet or booklet binding also required a similar margin; its placement was just a little more complex.
tl;dr page margins exist so you can bind pages together to make a book

the underwear pocket thing can actually be used to stuff ur underwear in and it makes a nice small ball that you can fit in ur hands or put in pocket or purse to avoid embarrassing moments. the whole underwear fits in it perfectly if folded the right way. makes a nice square or ball almost size of a pad/tampon
The hole in the pen cap is to prevent a vacuum action when removing the cap and making it easier to get it on and off. There's no way a child could breathe through that 1/64" hole in it.
Not true, pen cap is the most common emergency tracheostomy device
Chad Bouterse No, the empty pen tube is. The tiny hole in a pen cap is nowhere big enough to breathe through, even in an emergency.

Measuring tape: The metal end is designed for measuring within a space, and outside a space. The metal part MOVES - compresses when inside a space, such as measuring the inside of a corner. And it expands when measuring outside, such as from the end of a board. When compressed, the width of the metal end is included in the numbers on the measuring tape. When expanded, it adds space equal to the width of the metal, so the resulting measurement includes the gap.

It is physically impossible, even for a child, to get enough air to stay alive though a hole that small.
It'd make the heimlich manuever not work either. It's for air pressure putting cap on and off. Something nobody will know is it mostly is for a better mold. I'm a machinist, without that hole the mold would be crappy
Too bad on number 6 Converse Lacing, you didn't show us a shoe with laces actually going through those extra holes.
I was wondering how the laces go through the holes
Because it's wrong. They really are intended for ventilation.
Converse weren't even originally designed for basketball
TFBAndrew: From the History of Converse: "It was in 1908 that the Converse Rubber Corporation opened for business. At first the company only made galoshes and other work related rubber shoes on a seasonal basis. But eventually the company decided it was more efficient to keep their work force employed year round, and began making athletic shoes. With the popularity of basketball, the Converse Corporation saw the need to develop a shoe that people could wear while playing basketball. After lots of research and development, the very first version of the All Star basketball shoe was produced in 1917. The All Star shoe originally came in natural brown colors with black trim. In the 1920s, Converse All Stars were made in all black canvas or leather versions. The All Star was to be the first mass produced basketball shoe in North America. It consisted of a very thick rubber sole, and a ankle covering canvas (or sometimes leather) upper. At first sales were slow. They would rapidly increase a few years later, thanks to Charles ‘Chuck’ H. Taylor."
Mike Pellerin, Thanks Mr. Wikipedia
Let us not forget, he called it a measuring tape machine.....
Dogmo Satchmo well technically it is a machine. it as a retractable mechanism in it
It is a machine. And any "tradesman" that doesn't know about the "features" mentioned on a tape measure, is in fact, not a tradesman at all.

I think the hole in the tab has more to do with using the least amount of aluminum necessary to open the can.
I've been putting straws into my pop cans for years, lol. I thought I came up with a clever idea....had no idea it was meant for that.
also it helps to hold it better by supporting finger used to pop it
Czech Chicklet what's a Pop can?
@@Mr.Beastforpresident aluminium soda cans, like the ones we use to drink beer and coka cola from. Thats what we are discussing here
By making the hole, they rolled the metal around and made the tab stronger. Had it been a solid piece of metal, it would have had to of been much thicker to be as strong. That's why the body panels on cars have creases in them or are curved. It makes the metal more resistant to bending, and allows for less material.
How AVERAGE. Eleven minutes I can't get back.

The margins one is completely wrong, they originated in scrolls to differentiate 'pages,' then became a place for writing (marginalia) when scrolls became books with separate pages. It's also a place for readers to put their thumbs. It's also believed that not having a margin actually makes reading more difficult.
As if rats would stop chewing once they got to the margin line. lol
I would’ve guessed it’s just a line to justify your writing against, so that the result is indeed easier to read.
Right? Idiotic video
Margin might have started in schools to make comments and put marks in, plus for neatness. I have just read a book with almost non-existent margins and it made reading harder.
Joe Meatballs lol also what is the rat decides to chew on a side of the paper that doesn’t have a margin
The hole on tape measure end can also be used to make a quick circle
How about a quick oval?? LOL
Brilliant! I never have thought about it. Thanks man.
Yes! I thought it was for curves/circles. I get measuring from no edge with no offsider or hand to hold it still. But you could put a rock or bit of tape on it with no hole in your work.
@@stephenmichael3211 What you do is you hook the end with hole to a screw or nail. Than you measure half of what your circle is. So if its 4inch circle you measure from the screw to 2inch. Than put your pencil on the edge of the tape. Than all you to is draw a line from the 2inch mark as you rotate the tape around the center where the screw it. you should get a decent looking circle. it wont be perfect, but it does the job
Kevin Wood noted. Thanks again.
I don’t think I’ve ever had extra cloth with a single article of clothing I’ve ever purchased.
If you buy a designer suit you'll get extra cloth and buttons
Then you're buying inexpensive clothing!
@@rondy702 She is buying inexpensive clothing for which I commend her. Even better would be to buy used clothing!
You might still want to test colorfastness, so cut a small piece of the inside where it's sewn together. There's often a bit of excess material.
I thought you were supposed to put the tampon inside *yourself* , not inside the panty pocket. And the sanitary pad *over* the fabric, not under it. I guess we should put diapers on babies over some undewear as well.
And to think I've been using these products incorrectly for so many years... Thank you, internet! /s
Tampons have existed for centuries, and disposable sanitary pads came about in the late 1800s. Before that women didn't wear panties fashioned like modern ones, they were more like shorts, so there was no real gusset as we see in modern panties. If you look at 1940's underwear, it's still mostly shorts. The gusset is not exclusive to underwear and its purpose is to reinforce areas of stress and prevent tearing, which I suppose is why they exist in modern clothing, especially because women wear much tighter pants now than they did in the past, so more stress on the fabric.
The use of folded cloth in the place of pads to absorb the fluid would lose its purpose if you placed it under the gusset, because the underwear would get soaked and soiled all the same. The point of the pads (or the folded cloth) is to be able to change it when it can't hold any more fluid. It's not one per day; depending on the person it can be one every two hours. It's like the elevator in The Shining, man...!
Yeah that comment struck me as odd too. Maybe he meant keeping an extra (wrapped) tampon in there if you didn't have pockets? I've personally never heard of someone keeping anything there though.
Yeah, even as a narrator he should've questioned that. It's unbelievably unreal.
palmieres yeah the panty gusset one I'm sure the narrator as a man just simply didn't know how periods and sanitary products work 🙄 cause you can't use the gusset to hold a pad in place. And you certainly can't put an extra tampon in there either, would be super uncomfortable. No woman uses them for anything.
about the only useful thing i use the gusset for is making sure my pads are centered correctly.
The shopping cart one confuses me. What loops are you talking about? The ones you demonstrate are incapable to holding anything. I know. I've tried. I work in a store
Some carts have the loops he is talking about. But the video also shows some that don't have the loops. Not all carts have the loops.
shopping carts have a loop for the woman's purse to hang
The video didn't even show these "loops" in use.
I know, hunh? I looked for the loops in the video but failed to see any.
On the movable backrest part of the child's seat there used to be a hoop in the middle, you see it more on the UK and europe trolley's where plastic bags with handles are used / brown bagging isn't an option.

I can assure you that is not the correct way to use chinese food containers - they're shaped like that to produce a container with no seams or joins on the bottom or sides of the container, preventing it from leaking sauces. The fact that they unfold flat has no meaning, because that's just how cardboard and paperboard boxes are manufactured in the first place.
I thought they were for holding feminine hygiene products.
it would be sick if you clicked on my video i guarantee you will laugh htg th-cam.com/video/-2U184Uc7bI/w-d-xo.html
Origami! (oops. sorry. that's Japanese!)
Also, the fact that they are glued together should be a hint that they aren't meant to come apart.
rivalyncrimson Actually, you’re wrong. Look it up. Also, few boxes are folded like this.
That tape measure must've been used against zombies.

Chinese food containers aren't designed to turn into plates, they're folded that way to prevent leaking. Before the advent of the microwave oven, these food containers had a steel carrying handle that pierced both sides and held them together securely but were not easy to remove.
Are you suggesting the Chinese are a six THOUSAND year old culture that actually KNOWS SOMETHING?!
No I think it is meant to be a plate because the think that we will have them as our picnic food (oh hell nah)
Anyways idc backseats I don’t eat it that much😂😂
What hygiene product does the gusset help hold in place? Tampon?😂 and why would you put a pad inside there? Isn't the point of the pad NOT to get underwear wet🤔
If you're in a tough spot, you can use it to tuck the ends of a pad or the ends of a piece of toilet paper I guess 🤔
I just don't see a gusset serving any functional purpose. 🤔.
Gussets extra protection against moisture like sweating that area i am guessing. But I know It's usually loose at one end so it will be washed thoroughly underneath in your washing machine.
It's not to hold hygiene products ( My family were clothing manufacturers) what rubbish! 😁... it's just extra material sewn in the gusset area , because obviously it is a delicate place where we need more strength, absorbency and softer fabric .
It needs to be easy to wash though for hygiene purposes considering its position , for this reason it is often left open , pocketed for more easy rinsing of a more frequently, less expensive underwear , that may be worn more regularly and therefore washed in bulk in a machine.
We usually take better care of our more expensive lingerie eh girls! 😘 I personally hand wash my good stuff. .
Nah, the gusset is so we don't have a seam down the middle of our delicate lady parts.
Wow! There's 10 minutes I can't get back!! :-[
Sucker, I fast forward it, so i wasted only 7 minutes.
I wanted to see the Chinese food container unfolded. (and the ketchup cup too)
Go get some chinese takeout! It's literally amazing!
I've actually used the ketchup container at McDonalds & Wendy's to unfold it for many years.. It makes the container capable of adding much more ketchup. Very useful indeed.
it should the unfolded ketchup cup but not "how" it's unfolded
i wanted to see that too also i would of liked to see how to use the "extra" holes on the converse shoes
WHY THE HELL do men think that 'pocket' in women's underwear is for hygiene products?? Do you really think that's where tampons or sanitary napkins go? In some 'pocket'? WTH?! Smh...
I honestly not know. I did know that women have more hygiene needs than men, but i have admit, good point
Larrysbride a warm,fleshy pocket maybe lmao
Larrysbride first off I never know there was a pocket in panties and secondly I never would’ve thought that’s why it was there.
It is one hundred percent utter nonsense LOL
No hon. They are not pockets. It's an extra layer of fabric to help with absorbency. Feminine products will neither fit nor stay
I don’t think you can hold hygiene products into place with the panty gusset. I’m having trouble imagining what you could even mean.
I was thinking the same thing.. it's a pocket, attached to the panty. The cotex goes on top of it. I know it's not a pocket for a string for a tampon. I'd like to know what it's for b/c that ain't it, lol.
especially if its a thong lol
What, you cana't put a full size old style Kotex pad in there? Come on! You are just not trying.
Its there for extra protection and absorb dampness without bleeding through. Not a pocket at all
I used to put my weed in that pocket 😂 if you don’t want to smoke it,. don’t That’s more for me lmfao.💗
The coin edges are also for blind people to feel what the value is
In SA the edges have different patterns
This from time when is gold used instead paper. When you see this video you think that is invented in usa 50 years ago. Way not mentioned 2500 years old gold, brass coins in Roman empire
Isn't that why coins are different sizes though?
Blind ‘people’? Learn some manners will ya?
I've heard that also. They are there to identify when you reach in your pocket you know what coin it is.
Literally how many people would have been scraping coin edges to save the metal.
But I think my grandfather told me about that back in the 60s. I think he said he heard about it.
That's a modern benefit, but coin shaving was common including more blatant clipping. Back when coins were made of silver and gold and scales weren't so common. He forgot to mention that this is called a milled edge.
