That's how grandpa got his bruises

I feel like old people shouldn't do that kind of shit. They are old enough to know better.

What? No, this is an amazing watermelon! It's the table that's bad.

Table made in America.

Seems like a good sturdy melon to me, that table, on the other hand...

Banzi!

Not enough rubber bands

This is what happens when you fix your table with ramen and super glue.

Must have been made in china!

Grandma power!!!!

I imagine a sawing motion would have been more effective.

This is hilarious. Anyone know what she said after the shatter? Sounds like cursing haha
4sambucas
her face was all like "shit, i hope mom doesn't notice"

This is why we sharpen our knives. This is why we don't use sharp knives on surfaces like THAT. They can't stay sharp.

...Aaand in the end, she continues slicing that melon over the shattered table

What else is she supposed to do? Not finishing cutting it.

When life gives you melons, DESTROY THE TABLE!

I cannot see any issues here...she got the knife out...

Grandma did not expect the weight of the watermelon. Forget that it is a glass top.
Nukls
Don’t mess with Granny.

Life hack. Put 100’s of rubber bands around middle of melon to prevent this from happening.

Not Grandmas fault. In her day a table was actually a table.
WristDeepInaBook
i bet she hated that table and was looking for an excuse to replace it

Men were real men women were real women and small furry creatures from alpha centauri were real small furry creatures from alpha centauri.

Not in fuckin china
weidermeijer
She shouldn’t have bought one made in China.
Covidnineteen
Yeah, back her day she could get plowed by all the guys in the neighborhood and the table wouldn't even shake

This. Materials are shit nowadays. We still have tables in my family that belonged to our great great grandfathers. Strong AF

Where are you buying furniture? My tables are wood

It's not always about making things poorly. If your table is made of glass, you can't smash a watermelon in it. But it looks nice (to some)
Survivors bias. Only quality stuff lasted. So we don't see how much shitty stuff their used to be.
MilesPrower
Correct! There's plenty of shit antiques.
Cheomesh
This.
Well, that is a good point indeed.
talkingtothepast
It's nice when someone reads a good point and doesn't fight back. I never would have thought of that either
LanceDevon
Makes you wonder how much will last made nowadays.
Overextendeddullard
True but there wasn't any plastic in those days
SuperPickle17
plastic doesn't mean inferior quality. Plastic can be more durable than steel.
Plastic has advanced so much in the last 20 years as far as durability is concerned. I was more referring to the cheap crap most 1/2
shmekie
Like that story of the army guy studying planes that came back from battle.
WW1 and helmets are an amusing one. When helmets got issues head injuries sky rocketed. Commanders thought they were unsafe and ordered them
To be removed. The reason for increased injuries was due to people surviving otherwise fatal injuries. Not because the helmets were bad
MrLurkerMcGurker
Kind of, but also when things were made of hardwood and cast iron it was better than all the thin brittle plastic and OSB of today
That was the good stuff. Not a lot of people could afford it. Thin copper was a lot more common and cheap soft woods
We only recognize what's survived, like cast iron and hard wood. Because a lot of cheaper stuff wouldn't survive the abuse over the years
