Question:
having never studied engineering
but yunno, having lived experience of physics
you know gravity & ageing/mortality
ie. having a body that moves and bears weight and generally stays connected to its parts
& will eventually conk out
I'm wondering
in which unit do they teach
in built obsolescence?
Is it an undergraduate
or the Masters course?
An unsavory topic
however, my new toilet brush
is made from 2 pieces of plastic
As we know 2 parts of plastic
do not remain joined for long
you can't use a nail
as you would for wood
or welding as for metals
The old toilet brushes came in one piece
& they lasted till you didn't want them to
Is there a week in the built in obsolescence unit
where they discuss the contemporary & cutting edge
commercial engineering technique
of making objects of multiple plastic parts
for best return on investment for retail companies
I think I could do quite well that week
despite not having a particularly left hemispheric dominant brain
as my newish toilet brush is already in pieces
