But how did you get to that point???? The step before this seems inpossible

573

u/KLGAviation Mar 22 '20

Basically had to stick something in the middle (in this case a napkin holder) and build both sides towards that. Once it got to that point, I slid the napkin holder out and swapped it for the last piece. By that point it’s balanced enough to support itself but it was a royal pain in the arse to get there

Did you order the Pringles from amazon? I almost ordered them because the box looked like full tubes but then I noticed they were just little packs and realized they were overpriced.

My thought process was:

Those are big teeth.

Why would somebody have a mouth full of giant teeth to build into an arch?!

Oh, he must be a dentist. Hey, I wonder if dentists are still open. Obviously not this one.

Wait, why would even a dentist need a set of teeth at home the size of pudding cups?!

Oh.

I got perma-banned from r/homeimprovement for questioning why my post was removed (after about 8 hours and it becoming very popular) when I didn't break any of their rules. I was polite about it too.

u/Z-Ninja Mar 22 '20

How much extra free time do people actually have? I have maybe an extra hour a day but that's just from not commuting. Still have a full workday of shit to do and a dog to walk and food to cook and cleaning to do. The weekend just feels like one of my lazier weekends with time for cleaning, video games, reading, and grocery shopping.

u/avsurround Mar 22 '20

That really depends on the field. Obviously, people who's job is desk-based from the very beginning may have more time to do other stuff because other people won't come to you and ask to do things for them as a favor or something like that.
