Ancient lock mechanism

[theoutcastrogue]

Oh that’s great! There are many pictures of this type of lock around, but when it comes to locks, you need a video/gif to illustrate how it works, right?

This is ye olde pin tumbler lock, an Egyptian (c.2000 BCE) improvement of an older Assyrian (c.4000 BCE) design:

It spread out from Egypt and it was used for thousands of years. The modern ubiquitous Yale lock is also called a pin tumbler, since it’s an elaborate (and tubular) version of the same basic concept.

Cool!

I’d seen the last gif, but I get it so much better after seeing the simpler larger and older version first.

It's so cool to dunk on people for things like this. It totally doesn't make you look like an idiot monster from hell.

I know right, what could that poor rich white supremacist war criminal and his family have possibly done to deserve something as tragic as a petty remark on their own suffering :( breaks my heart to think about it

[bertram-bertram]

You could be better than them, but now you're just down on their level.

Her dad bombed innocent people from a warplane

[bertram-bertram]

That's awful. It doesn't change that making fun of cancer makes you a dick.

[gabagoofs]

Getting cancer doesn’t suddenly make you a person who isn’t deserving of scorn and mockery, hope this helps clear up your weird confusion!

this is from the Palestinian Obi and Dress Exhibition run by Maki Yamamoto, who runs the Palestinian Embroidery Obi Project (link is to an article about it). she works with women in the West Bank and Gaza as well as Japanese artisans to produce and sell embroidered obi (kimono sashes) to high-end Japanese markets, ensuring that the Palestinian women get paid fairly for their work. she's been to the West Bank numerous times, including many trips to high-tension areas like Al-Khalil and Bil'in. this photo, where the model is wearing a Hirbawi kufiya and a mother of pearl carving from Bethlehem in addition to the kimono, is sourced from Yamamoto's Twitter. by the way, mother of pearl carving is a longstanding handicraft tradition in Bethlehem that seems like it's less known compared to things like tatreez and olive wood carving. there are some really beautiful Palestinian mother of pearl pieces out there.
