    I have that lens cup and while filming a segment one time I had a intern with me and I handed him the "lens" asking him to hold it for a second and said don't drop this it's very expensive and right as it was about to change hands I dropped it. The look on his face as the color left his face will be something I'll never forget. The cup or lens was completely fine.

    Like Tim I assumed it was for scraping out the insides of softer fruits like lemons or oranges. But coconut scraper does make a lot more sense, especially seeing as it sturdily nails into the wall which implies a level of resistance you don't need with something soft like a lemon.

    I've never seen a coconut scrapper exactly like that one.
    That circular design is usually seen in the electric ones, which are usually attached to wet grinders.
    Manual ones we normally use in home aren't designed like that.
    They're flat. And you scrape the coconut over the teeth.
    Takes 10 minutes for me, mum does it in 1 minute.
    (And with electric ones, it would barely take 10 seconds)
    Rotating the handle and holding the coconut at the same time sounds very difficult tho

      We had a scraper that was built on a little footstool-type platform, and you would sit on it with the coconut between your legs and get good leverage that way. And yes, it was flat, not spherical.

    The coloring book is kinda like the album cover to Led Zeppelins In Through the OutDoor. They had six different album covers of the same image, but of different camera angles. On top of that, If you look closely, you can see little dots, they're dried watercolors. I found out the hard way. If you have that album cover and insist on putting it to the test, use caution. Pick an inconspicuous spot and just touch it with a damp Q-tip. If it gets too wet, it'll screw up the album cover. Colors will run all over it.

    The first thing is not a juicer but is used for shredding dry coconuts jelly out of a shell.
    The white coconut jelly grows hard as the coconut dries, and does not want to come out of the shell so you mount this grinder thing to a tables edge and grind away.
    The hardened jelly comes out as a granulated milky substance that is then used in Caribbean creole cooking.
    You do need to mount this to the edge of a table though and I don't understand why yours comes without a clamp.
    Maybe I'm wrong but it certainly looks like a coconut jelly grinder.

    I have had several phone cases with similar pockets to the one pictured - although not nearly quite so many - and they do lose their elasticity after normal use. You can fit more in, but it is also more liable to let things spill out. The material is not long-wearing. But that is after months and months of daily use as a phone case wallet combo where it was used for credit cards or even folded-up paper/cash sliding in and out daily.
    There are a lot of useful subreddits for things like this. My most recent posts asking about something on my pipes (a mineral deposit? some kind of infestation or wood rot or metal flaking off? fiber insulation? the shell of a dead insect?) were deleted and I was redirected to plant- and mushroom-identification subreddits. I had to ask the mod why - they said it was obviously a fungus, so I asked in the fungus identification subreddit. And what do you know - they were right! But anyway, a lot of the posts there are about exactly this sort of question. R/whatisthisthing has lists of frequently-asked-and-answered items to not bother asking about too, along with explanations and photos of each. Fun to go on there and play detective, too.

It's easy to release the hair from the gadget because only the tips are being grabbed. Quick way to twist bundles of wet hair which are tied, let to dry and produce waves and curls in the ladies' locks :)

    what about a string winder? various strings might overlap and form a braiding, or maybe the same thing for winding yarn

    I've got an idea for a YT channel - we're going to take my English grandpa to the goodwill and let him spend like $45 and then explain all the little knick-knacks he finds to the camera!

    My first thought of the first mechanism was either a cheese or soap grater. However, the bottom-line is, any mechanism is whatever the end user uses it for independent of the inventor's intent.

    Doe the coconut crak slowly expand a hole pushed into a coconut shell, avoiding the need for a hammer in the kitchen? I always wondered how people who used them a lot raw dealt with the hard shells routinely.

    It's definitely a coconut grater. Widely used in Southern India

    I know some have said a coconut reamer, but I think the working bit is too small. I say a citrus reamer. For oranges and smaller. Back then most citrus were overall smaller, and pulp was considered part of the thing, both for health and decoration.

    If you're having 22 children, it's a good idea to toughen up the bits.
