    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 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.

      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.

        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.
