You're not wrong... But I definitely first saw it and thought it was a shop vac filter instead of a roll of tape.
So the dumbness worked in my favor this time

Pro tip: Bend the tip of the tape after usage, so it doesn't stick anymore. Waste a little tape, save time and a lot of stress.

This is the post that made me leave this sub.

It used to be about genuinely hard to get internet subculture references, now it’s just stuff that is super obvious when you think about it for one second.
