My first reaction to seeing these objects was "they look like jointing frames for combining multiple rods". You'd feed long cylindrical rods into the holes, then use the little knobs to affix them, using them as anchor points for tying the rods into place with string/rope (presumably the rods would have grooves in them to take the rope). Maybe you could make a little tent in this manner, something light, perhaps a bug net for your bed, or something along those lines. Or maybe they were already describing atomic structures ๐ค
Complete nonsense, of course. But that was just my first reaction!
Revere the ancient K'nex
I've lived for 33 years, 12 or so if those years heavily featuring K'nex and only after reading your comment realised that K'nex is a phonetic play on "connects".
This comment is also true for me
This might be the highest effort Lemmy comment yet? Great quality on these drawings, clear and concise, and genuinely makes you think and wonder. I give you this award: ๐
Haha I'll take it!
