I think the real question here is wtf kind of crazy doorknob is that?!?!?

I’m betting this is less of a knob and more of an immobile handle.

You'd be correct, my front door works similarly (minus the key-swallower under it).

What's the difference? (Asking as a non-native English speaker)

2

The key opens what is basically a deadbolt, and the only actual latch for the door.

The "knob" isn't so much a knob, but a stationary/fixed handle for pulling the door.

2

Door knob can be twisted to open the door. Door handle is static (it doesn't twist or move) it's just a convenient place to grab the door.

I'd keep the keys attached to a belt or wrists or something. If I lived there long enough, I'd even steal the lid and replace it with something finer...

It's fine the person in the picture is a pro that can hold the keys like a power puff girl

I think when the professor got turned into one or something and couldn't pick things up

Opposite - one of the girls got swapped into the professor's body and couldn't use his hands because she didn't know how fingers worked.

I hate drain holes that appear to go all the way down to bedrock where you can feel heat coming from the earth below. Like it's the first chapter of Journey to the Center of the Earth.

Wherever he saw a hole he always wanted to know the depth of it. To him this was important.

Cheap pickset and learn to do it: priceless. No. 1 life skill.

At least where i live your regular home locks are secure enough that non-destructive entry requires specialized tools and close to LPL level skill. In my country there was once a serial burglar that could do that and for a long time police didnt even believe the that there even was any burglary.

I work at a JEWELERY STORE and ONE of our doors has an assa abloy.

To be fair the other door opens to a highway, so would-be burglars would have to be ballsy.

I don't even know what continent youre on and I'm already trying to think of how to rob you.

Seeing all these “just get a giant key chain” comments reminds me that Lemmy’s core user base is the software engineer who stores a giant keychain in his cargo shorts, along side a multitool and the world’s thickest wallet.

You mean it’s NOT an accurate random sample of reality?

Those rule. Like why carry around physical secrets unlockers if we don't need to.

Look... If you had... one shot... or one opportunity... To open every door you ever wanted... one moment... Would you capture it? Or just let it slip? Yo His palms are sweaty, knees weak, arms are heavy There's vomit on his sweater already, mom's spaghetti He's nervous, but on the surface he looks calm and ready to drops bombs, but he keeps on forgetting what he wrote down, the whole crowd goes so loud He opens his hands but the keys won't come out He's chokin, how? Everybody's jokin now The clock's run out, time's up, over - BLAOW!

Just use a keychain that is bigger that the grill pitch, any small trinket will do.

If you had a basement that lead up to that drain you could put some mesh angled down, busy a hole into the the drain from your basement and if some stranger tries to grab your keys you can drop them inside.

if some stranger tries to grab your keys you can drop them inside.

When it finally happens "HA, I've been waiting 49 years for this exact situation! they all said I crazy." Old man shouts at sky "I told you Grettle that I'd have a use for that hole someday!!!"

A few moments later "Now, how do I get to the basment with no key"
