    I remember doing that to the Nokia 3310. Sure, it cracked the screen, but I covered it with some clear nail Polish and it was as good as new.

      Wait, you managed to crack a Nokia 3310? That takes some serious talent!

      What was your weapon of choice? Sledgehammer? Battle Axe? Bulldozer Tread?

      And the most important question of all, did the weapon of choice survive?..

        Industrial lathe, but a crack is merely aesthetic “damage”. It’s like taking a power drill and scratching the casing of a 3310 and than saying “look at me! I destroyed the 3310. Bow for my power, peasants”. The 3310 didn’t even register the crack.

        A 3310’s screen was nothing like those fragile touch sensitive screens we have now.

            Well yes of course. I did say “INDUSTRIAL lathe”. Those things are just as destructive as 3310’s are indestructible. Even when you turn them off, it takes a good couple minutes before they’re not deadly anymore. The torque is over 9000! Those things can crush diamonds without breaking a sweat.

              LOL, I know, I was trained to use an old-school industrial lathe and milling machine in high school back around the year 2000.

              You know those memeish signs that basically says don’t stick your dick in the machine? Yeah, I think the Nokia 3310 was tougher than the average human male sausage and potatoes…
