Re: Random Thoughts Thread
Fact: Duct Tape was not made nor intended to fix ducts, because it can't.
I can thank "wait wait, don't tell me" for that slice of knowledge.

@Actually, both can work. Duct tape is really what it is, yet Duck Tape is one brand that manufactures it.
Re: Random Thoughts Thread
Well, if you call it Duck Tape people are bound to think you are an idiot. #that'sthewaythingsareTSTR wrote:@Actually, both can work. Duct tape is really what it is, yet Duck Tape is one brand that manufactures it.
Re: Random Thoughts Thread
well, it is possible you do mean Duck Tape when you say it, or even Duck Tape duct tape. I think the two have become a bit conflated...approaching "Coke" levels of synonymityLuke wrote:Well, if you call it Duck Tape people are bound to think you are an idiot. #that'sthewaythingsareTSTR wrote:@Actually, both can work.

Re: Random Thoughts Thread
Right, like Kleenex. Besides, the way it sounds in speech is pretty hard to tell apart. Unless that person specifically enunciates the T at the end of "duct." But then you've got a "Cool WHip" thing going on.

It was invented during construction of the Empire State building and was used heavily.
And it is totally "Duck Tape" since it has water resistance like a duck's feathers. It seems it became "Duct Tape", because a bunch of people used it on air ducts for decades even though they shouldn't have. Thankfully now it's officially banned from Air Duct use.
Re: Random Thoughts Thread
Yep, apparently it really is either or.

And I actually have some UL/emission certified tape that can be used on ducts.

Re: Random Thoughts Thread
All this talk about duct tape not being for use on ducts is triggering because what you guys consider duct tape isn't duct tape. Duct tape is wrapped around a roll, not adhered to itself like regular tape, but with a thin piece of brown paper between. It is also extremely thin and almost reflective as tin foil.

I didn't know autism was a thing that could be triggered.
