    Not too related, but I wonder how many sites/algorithms were written in a lazy way, making that “I’m not telling you where I am” circle centred perfectly around their address. So while it is designed to look like your address could be anywhere within the circle, I bet that with most of them you just have to put a pin into their exact geometric centre.

    For $1000, I wonder if someone could rig together a very shitty way of making low quality anvils out of garbage like aluminum or very shitty steel/cast iron and pass it off as a “real anvil” that I found in the dump or something.

    That would be a lot of work of course but in today’s economy and job market, a huge amount of effort just to get $1000 isn’t necessarily a waste of time especially if you can do it multiple times before they find out.

      talking to blacksmithy friends - that’s kinda what amazon / harbor freight are doing with their shitty anvils already.

        not only that but an anvil made of aluminum would dent and deform with just the slightest blow from a steel hammer, it’s really soft stuff. not too mention the weight difference or even a simple magnet test
