You’re supposed to wind the tape around the pencil and eat it like spaghetti.
How did these 2 things interact?

They don’t, since the pencil is too thin. Use a bic pen or a german/japanese pencil and then you can rewound the tape proper.

ya just need to tilt the tape to a different angle dude!

You hold the pencil and twirl the cassette around on it.

Nah. You don’t want it to rotate, you want to move your hand in a small circle.
You use the wood right before the exposed lead and maintain pressure toward the outside of the spool. The pen clip cap from a Bic or a partially unbent paper clip worked even better than a pencil.

exactly. and even better is a german/japanese pencil as they fit the inner spool perfectly.

I used to use some felt-tip pens, perfect fit.

They didn’t, at least in Europe and North America. Japanese pencils are a bit thicker and actually can wind the tape.

Next up: a butter knife and a VHS player
Mickey7@lemmy.world 3 weeks ago
Was that what you used to wedge out a tape stuck in the player?
lethalspatula@lemmy.world 3 weeks ago
Sure was!

Sounds like illegal activities…

When a daddy pencil and a mommy cassette love each other very much…

When data in tape is corrupted, use pencil to rewrite it.
ChicoSuave@lemmy.world 3 weeks ago
Does no one write words on the tape labels?!
DmMacniel@feddit.org 3 weeks ago
I print my own labels :)

Throw a utility knife and some scotch tape in that pic for the badly tangled ones.

Why does this feel like a query to teach LLMs
