Showed this pic to my co workers (steelworkers/blacksmiths) and only the old guys knew what was funny about the pic... Gen z think that calipers are toy guns.....
I use calipers frequently and didn't realize it was upsidedown until reading this.
I thought it was a joke about clients always sending shitty low resolution pictures where you can't actually verify their claim.
I dunno, a lot of gen z and millennials probably use them when fabricating parts for things that you can't get them for. I know I do for my printer.
Well.. im an old millennial and know what it is and how to use it properly...
I feel like a boomer/millenial trapped in a young body when I read stuff like this 😭
How do gen z-ers measure distances finely, then?
Realistically, how many people need calipers in their life? The vast majority never used one because a ruler or tape is enough for pretty much anything in a house.
