This is for strictly mildly interesting material. If it's too interesting, it doesn't belong. If it's not interesting, it doesn't belong.

This is obviously an objective criteria, so the mods are always right. Or maybe mildly right? Ahh.. what do we know?

Just post some stuff and don't spam.

What a remarkable bolt! Can it come and do my place when it's finished?

Hello from the future! Don't mind me, just following a chain of Lemmy switcheroos.

ive seen these used sticking out of concrete, the bend acting as the anchor... then the wood is bolted to this.

J Bolts for concrete don't have a head on them. The bent part is embedded into the concrete and would never be turned. Forming a hex head would be a wasted extra production cost.
