Do people use non-electric pencil sharpeners anymore? I mean, when they're not typing on a computer, texting, etc?

I have two at home: one for my pencils, and one for my eyeliner.

Ooh, I want a pencil tray with a roll-top cover.

Cats to become a rabbit should gather immediately now here

I use a hand pencil sharpener for my fabric marking pencils, because I can control the sharpness better. Also for eyeliner.

Because books.

Yes. Public school, man. I'm surprised we don't still use ditto machines.

God, I miss that smell.

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.

pen with multi-colored ink

The big fat 4-colored ballpoint pen with the 4 separate clicky-things on the end? I loved those. My very favorite school supply, though, was the compass.

Shit's all sorts of different now.

God, I miss that smell.

YES!!!

I love the smell of a hand crank pencil sharpener. I have my great-grandmother's hand crank pencil sharpener. ALL metal. Nary a plastic part. You can take the cover and bang the shit out of it against the garbadge can when it gets really full and cram packed and no dents or breakage.

....

I had no idea I loved my pencil sharpener this much.

Punishingly Intricate

I have a little one for my pencil lipstick.

The big fat 4-colored ballpoint pen with the 4 separate clicky-things on the end? I loved those.

Oh my gosh, yes! My favorite! So great for a fidgety kid.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

Graph paper.

(But also fourthing the clicky-pen love)

No, I don't think I will - me, quoting Captain Steve Rogers, to all of 2020

I had no idea I loved my pencil sharpener this much.

Awesome. I'm mounting that bad boy in the kitchen tonight.

By "mounting" I mean "affixing to a wall by screwing".

By "by screwing" I mean "using a screwdriver and screws".

You people are sick.
