It really is the best way to bust a stuck nut.

[–] TheLadyAugust 4 points 1 day ago (1 children)

If you bust the nut, you'll ruin the threads. It's Kroil you're after if you need a penetrant, then you can get as many nuts off as you want. Could be more fun if you ruin it a couple times though....

How do you feel about blaster? I had it recommended to me and some old spark plugs I hit it with came right out.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 23 hours ago

PB Blaster might be the best in show.

Everyone uses it as lube.

That advertisement would never be approved today.

[–] wjrii 17 points 1 day ago

It was never a real ad. It's a pre-internet fax and photocopy meme redone for the web around 2014-ish.

I can't see why not, that is exactly the type of humor their target demo uses

[–] ThePyroPython 9 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Nope not that, they claim it's a lubricant.

It's not a lubricant, it's a penetrating fluid. Yeah ok it can act as a lubricant for a short while but you'd use it on parts that should be lubricated that have seized together to get them moving again so you can apply lubricant.

So they'd get done for false advertising.

1/4 to 1/3 of WD-40 is a petroleum base oil, and they make claims about its lubricating properties on their website and marketing material today.

[–] ThePyroPython 5 points 1 day ago

Yeah but it's not a proper lubricant and you shouldn't use it as one. It's a swiss-army knife: great in a pinch for a number of things but you wouldn't want it to replace your whole tool box.

[–] WhatsHerBucket 2 points 1 day ago (2 children)

Because people can’t take a joke anymore.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 23 hours ago

Do you really actually believe that people's ability to "take a joke" has really changed?

[–] Supervisor194 1 points 1 day ago

While it's true that people can't take a joke anymore, it's also true that back when an ad like this might have appeared, these kinds of jokes were considered vulgar and wouldn't be in print, at least not hawking a product from a reputable company.

Awkward teens and dirty old men?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 day ago

And also Dads, but yes.

[–] DragonsInARoom 5 points 1 day ago

Literally just bought some for a nut lmao

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 day ago

Make a lube that rips off the WD-40 visuals but it's called Wet Dick.

[–] [email protected] -3 points 1 day ago (1 children)

This is what toxic masculinity looks like.

[–] shalafi 12 points 1 day ago

Oh fuck right off. It's a joke ad that never existed.

Want some real toxicity? Here:

Did that picture make your pussy hurt?
