    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.

        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.
