    To think those machines are 120+ years old yet STILL work, just shows how well designed they were and if it isn't broke, don't fix it, just leave it and keep using it.

    I love How It's Made.
    It has taught me that when the little plastic end comes off of my shoelace, it's not the company or somebody at the factory making a personal attack on me. That would be impossible. It simply came off because of normal incompetence.
    My faith in humanity has been restored.

    • @igrim4777
      @igrim4777 Рік тому +2

      Oh no, it's nothing so simple. You've underestimated the super-competence of the entire shoelace supply chain. We know what shoes you wear. We know if you're ever planning on buying new shoes or new laces. Our agents are everywhere, planting sabotaged laces before you arrive, removing them after you leave, and guarding the public from obtaining the despoiled products we reserve for you. Don't think about mail order or online shopping. We can intercept those. Want to get a friend or family member to buy for you? Do you think we haven't got that covered too? All those people, well, all those _few_ people who also have aglet "problems" in public, they aren't problems, that's exactly the script we wrote for our actors, each and every one of them doing exactly what we pay them to do. We are Big Shoe and we are grinding you under our heel, one broken aglet at a time.
