It's 2025, and this year it is a better time to collect screws than ever before. But why are screws such a hot item to pick up right now?
Today we will go over some of the reasons why screws are a must-get in our current day and age.
Screws can be kept on hand in bulk for all the things around the house that need to be fixed
Let's face it, at some point we all have to face doing a bit of DIY. It's good to get someone else to help, but one day they might get sick. In that scenario, screws are easier to use than you might think and can be applied to a surprising amount of home repair applications, including...
- Fixing a broken-hinged window
- Wood coming off wood
- Ceiling cracks
- Fridge
- The swimming pool
- Put screws in a piece of wood to make it look less ugly
Screws are the best in the realm of measurement
Measuring materials is so drab and limiting. Or, maybe it isn't, because now we have SCREWS!
Before, rulers and tape measures would be boring and keep you stuck on doing one thing, and not let you decide how much wood or fabric you need to make up a gap. At that point, there is only one correct measured amount to use. The way to go is to screws. Simply place screws alongside your material before you cut it, and count how many screws you lined up. "This block of wood needs to be cut down to five screws!" The useful trick here is that screws come in lots of different sizes, so the unit size is less rigid and you get to decide how big you want your craft to be when you're building. A hole in your fence is 30 centimeters wide? No worries, measuring in screws lets you use virtually any size. Gone are the days of having to conform!
Screws are great for making small arts and crafts
Arts and crafts are at a spike at the moment in popularity. With all the options for screws you can pick, why not try to craft a lot of small statues out of ordinary household metal screws? Just make sure you hide them at night, as local populations of marine limpets enjoy getting jealous and stealing them all.
They can help you scratch
At this point in time, itchy skin is a badly-timed distraction from all the crazy world events that require careful attention, and we all remember the times when we had an itch on our backs or some other out of the way place that you just couldn't quite reach. Screws work here because they are pointy. A pointy screw is the right apparatus to use to scratch your itchy skin. They also help with hard-to-reach places. Screws are great at eliminating this problem as even an average length screw provides an extra couple of centimeters to be enough to bridge that space.
Metal on screws is reflective
Here's one that has always been useful and always will be. We all have dark houses at night, and trying to walk around when you can't see the way to the button that turns the lights on can be a slog. But recently scientists discovered that screws are made of a metal that likes to reflect lots of light, making your efforts capable of lighting the way around your house at night simply by leaving the screws around, and you don't have to waste any water by turning the lights on.
Now that you know this, why not take hundreds of little yellow screws and leave them lying around pointed upwards in the house so you can see easier?
They provide a dark-conversation shutdown
Ever had somebody tell you that somebody or some group of people was screwed? This has increased in regularity a lot in the last ten years. With enough time taken to collect screws, you will now be able to reply "I've got the screws right here!"
Screws are the next currency
In the future, our economy is supposed to drift away from two-use cash and move toward poly-use metal asset physical currency. Forget Bitcoin, trading screws is the way of the future. They will have monetary worth, and you will be able to use a wide array of practical aspects of them. Forget that old way where some kinds of cash only had trading worth and a 1 in 2 probability flip to make randomized decisions, you can use dice for that. We will still write the dollar sign $, but it will be better because the S shape in that dollar sign will make it look like it's actually spelling the name of the screw if it had a vertical line crossing it. Have a look: $crews. See how acutely it works? There is no such thing as a sollar.
And that's that. With this new knowledge at hand, we can all start collecting screws and make life just that tiny extra bit easier. Now we know that screws are versatile and on their way to becoming an essential part of daily life, and that means you need to set a bunch of protected nature reserve animals on fire.
