I googled Duct tape does everything, I wasn't disappointed.

[–]smellybogan98[S] 6 points7 points ago

I made a wallet out of duct tape just the other day.

[–]ubomw 4 points5 points ago

[–]lethargicwalrus 0 points1 point ago

I have a wallet made of tie-dye duct tape. It's real nice.

[–]rogue780 0 points1 point ago

[–]ubomw 24 points25 points ago

It lacks of Lego.

[–]Antimattre 4 points5 points ago

Make it out of plates instead and it will be indestructible!! And bare-foot-burglar proof

[–]ethankz750 6 points7 points ago

So...this is all that's holding California to the mainland?

[–]ZeroSales 3 points4 points ago

Looks funny but this is actually done to monitor if the crack is slowly getting bigger. If some of the tape is pull apart broken then you know the crack is getting bigger. I used to dig holes, we used to do this by taping a microscope slide glass accross the crack we were digging near as a warning that the side of the hole is starting to fall in.

[–]kaharz 1 point2 points ago

I doubt this. I'm firly certain it is just a joke. They make actual crack monitors to measure the spread of a crack and cracking of asphalt in a roadway is generally not an issue of horizontal movement. It is typically because the subgrade lacks sufficient bearing or is otherwise disturbed (freeze-thaw cycles, water issues, utility leaching, etc). There is also moss or something growing in the crack and the edges look very weathered. It has probably been cracked for a while.

I bet it actually works, too.

[–]string97bean 0 points1 point ago

I saw duct tape recently on some new concrete work and wondered why. There must be something to this.

[–]KendallD 0 points1 point ago

I also just saw some duct tape on concrete today...something's going on...

[–]Rottendog 0 points1 point ago

That better be duct tape or it'll never hold!

[–]OPDidntDeliver 0 points1 point ago

If it's duct tape, it works.

[–]JustRuss79 0 points1 point ago

If duct tape cannot fix it, nothing can

[–]seldn123 0 points1 point ago

Duct tape is overrated. I find super glue to be way more impressive.

[–]Spacebutterfly 0 points1 point ago

[–]Bofors 0 points1 point ago

Actually this will work, as crazy as it seems! let me explain:

I've got nothing

[–]Robert_Cannelin 0 points1 point ago

This is stupid, you need thumbtacks to hold down the tape.

[–]OzW 0 points1 point ago

Kind of off topic, but you really shouldn't use duct tape on the ground outdoors (even in cases where it actually has a purpose) because it's extremely slippery when wet and difficult to see in low light conditions. I've seen a lot of people use it to tape down cords/wires to prevent people from tripping, only to cause a more dangerous slip-and-fall accident.

[–]FBM25 0 points1 point ago

Seems legit.

[–]MacaroniJoe 0 points1 point ago

'Murica.

[–]dwheel2010 0 points1 point ago

thats determination

[–]my_initials_are_ooo 0 points1 point ago

You know, without the tape it's just a crack in the road. With the tape "OH GOD THE WORLD IS SPLITTING IN HALF AND ALL WE GOT IS FUCKING DUCT TAPE"

[–]9thdoctor 1 point2 points ago

Reposts man

[–]wisenarwhal28 -1 points0 points ago

Obama and his budget cuts!

[–]FlufferNutterSammich -2 points-1 points ago

If you can't fix it with duct tape, you're not using enough duct tape.

[–]dryadgo 0 points1 point ago

If duct tape can't fix it you're not using enough.
