Anyone who calls it a "drill machine" should not be allowed to use power tools

[-] ImplyingImplications@lemmy.ca 40 points 2 years ago

What if I refer to myself as a drill machine?

[-] xantoxis@lemmy.world 44 points 2 years ago

That's allowed, but you better prove it

[-] Zimmy@lemm.ee 9 points 2 years ago

Idiot, the anus is just the opening of the alimentary canal

[-] abcd@feddit.de 6 points 2 years ago

If it’s not on strava, it never happened!

[-] Klear@lemmy.world 9 points 2 years ago

This is not a drill! I repeat, this is not a drill!

[-] pimento64@sopuli.xyz 12 points 2 years ago

My wood shop teacher would insist it was "drill driver" and would bust your grade down if you only called it a drill.

[-] Flexaris@discuss.tchncs.de 9 points 2 years ago

Wouldn't it be a drill bit driver?

[-] JonEFive@midwest.social 2 points 2 years ago

Isn't the drill part of the bit?

[-] Anticorp@lemmy.ml 2 points 2 years ago

The bit is the tip of the drill and the shank is the other end.

[-] TheGreenGolem@lemm.ee 1 points 2 years ago

Just the tip

[-] KevonLooney@lemm.ee 9 points 2 years ago

Can I borrow your car machine?

[-] President_Pyrus@feddit.dk 7 points 2 years ago

In denmark we call it a "boremaskine", literally "drilling machine"...

[-] M137@lemmy.world 5 points 2 years ago

Same in Sweden; "borrmaskin"

Though it's still fine to say just "borr" (drill) for it, like "kan du sträcka mig borren?" (Can you hand me the drill?)

[-] President_Pyrus@feddit.dk 7 points 2 years ago

In Danish, "bor" only refers the drill bit. If you asked someone "kan du række mig boret" you would be handed the drill bit, or possibly be pointed towards the table (bord/bordet, with silent d).

[-] yetAnotherUser@feddit.de 4 points 2 years ago

Same in German: "Bohrmaschine".

Although the shorthand version is "Bohrer", not "Bohr".

[-] SadSadSatellite@sh.itjust.works 67 points 2 years ago

Openly admitting to being pedantic. That said, here we go: it's a DRIVER, the end is the CHUCK, which holds the SHANK of the BIT, which can be a DRILL.

I understand it's a setup to the punchline, and nobody actually gives a shit.

[-] scutiger@lemmy.world 44 points 2 years ago

A drill and a driver are separate tools. You can fit driver bits in a drill's chuck, but it's not its intended purpose. A driver is meant specifically to drive screws, and it's better at the job than a drill.

[-] funnystuff97@lemmy.world 36 points 2 years ago

don't mind me, just watching the above comic unfold in real time

[-] idiomaddict@feddit.de 21 points 2 years ago

Are you guys doing a driver bit?

[-] Aux@lemmy.world 6 points 2 years ago

Most tools today are drill driver combo devices, they do both jobs well.

[-] SadSadSatellite@sh.itjust.works 6 points 2 years ago

While this is only semantics and based on nothing more than my preference, I would argue that a drill is a type of driver. If you call it a drill driver, I might get upset though.

[-] ogler@lemmynsfw.com 8 points 2 years ago

i disagree with that, you can use a handheld drill to drive screws but that's not what it's for, it's for making holes in shit with drill bits. you can also buy little sanding discs for your handheld drill but nobody's calling it a drill sander

[-] ogler@lemmynsfw.com 10 points 2 years ago

damn, got me commenting with the porn account

[-] Zehzin@lemmy.world 6 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

I'm imagining two mustached middle aged dudes in plaid shirts and denim having this talk in front of Home Depot

[-] BarrelAgedBoredom@lemm.ee 5 points 2 years ago

This is king of the hill level commentary itellyouhwat

[-] Anticorp@lemmy.ml 3 points 2 years ago

This is the kind of topic the local ham radio group discussed quite frequently.

[-] Jesse@lemmy.ca 3 points 2 years ago

I appreciate you, and thank you.

[-] affiliate@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago

this was extremely satisfying to read

[-] deadbeef79000@lemmy.nz 2 points 2 years ago

This is what I came here for.

[-] KingThrillgore@lemmy.ml 15 points 2 years ago

They wrote this entire fucking thing for the joke at the end.

[-] RavindraNemandi@ttrpg.network 14 points 2 years ago

I mean, isn't that how most jokes work?

[-] SpaceCowboy@lemmy.ca 4 points 2 years ago

No! It's a drill bit bit!

Grandpa called it a “drill motor”

History

About this community and how I post the comics… Many moons ago, I would ask my Dad to save the newspaper for me everyday so I could read my favorite comic strips. Of course these days you can read your favorite comics online instead of a newspaper, but I love the nostalgia of reading the daily comics. Anyway, one of my favorite current comics is Cyanide and Happiness and I will be posting the daily release from their website (https://explosm.net/) and a an extra or two randoms.
