@Tsaukpaetra About 40 years ago I was living in a small town where many of the big-name brands had no market penetration. We had Church's Chicken but no KFC, but that was fine because they considered thigh-plus-drumstick one piece, meaning you got a lot more chicken if you ordered the five-piece package.
Church's also had Dr Nut for their cola lookalike. Basically a knockoff of a knockoff (Dr Pepper -> Mr Pibb -> Dr Nut).

Somehow I don't want to taste Dr. Nut.

The distinction between a bolt and a screw is poorly-defined.
the terms screw and bolt are widely used by different people or in different countries to apply to the same or varying fastener.
The presence of the unthreaded shank has often been given as characteristic of bolts vs. screws,[4] but this is incidental to its use, rather than defining.

If you grind the dirt up thoroughly beforehand, you can avoid pilling.
But I think we should take care to avoid a replay of the Great Upheaval of 2020.

In my socialist hellhole, the difference between bolt and screw is if it's a loose or tight. Screw means it's clamped together by the fastener, and bolt is when it's not.
Only engineers that work with fasteners care much about the difference and people mix them according to their own head canon.

Only engineers that work with fasteners care much about the difference and people mix them according to their own head canon.So I asked around, and the distinction I was given tended to be the same as shown in the original picture: the non-business end of a screw has a slot of some kind for the tip of a screwdriver to be inserted (and when fully installed, the head of the screw should be flush with the surface it's screwed into, but this isn't a requirement), while a bolt has something that is gripped from the sides (and remains protruding for later gripping).

@Carnage said in The Official Funny Stuff Thread™:

The way I understand it, a screw is something that is self-tapping (in wood, plastic, etc.) while a bolt will need threads that are already tapped.

Handsome dashing man on the make: "Do you know the difference between a nail, a screw and a bolt?"
Sweet young thing: "Gosh, I've never been bolted!"

Never had to ask them but I guess that would pass as a nail.

The way I understand it, a screw is something that is self-tapping (in wood, plastic, etc.) while a bolt will need threads that are already tapped.
The way I understand it, a bolt goes right through a piece (or pieces) of material and anchors in a nut on the far side, and a screw anchors directly in the material itself (the hole may be pre-drilled).
And of course, the screw is properly the inclined plane on the side of the bolt or screw.

Good point—neither the video nor the "bloody show-off" made me think of actual blood. Compared to the Nile this would be a pretty meager performance though.

I heard once that the first seven or so plagues are a natural phenomenon which pops up every few decades or so, each plague causing the next. I do not recall what the root cause was stated to be though.
