In the 21st century, has someone not invented a screw thread which

Methinks what you are looking for is called a "cork".

BTW, we teach our children the "turn it backwards" maneuver.

In the ordinance business we had to unteach that trick for guys
installing long time delay bomb fuses.


Oh boy, I would have been mincemeat for sure because I am unteachable..


Are you a "whoops I forgot I wasn't supposed to do that" kinda person? We have drivers like that around here :-/


Like this (and remember in the UK you go clockwise round a roundabout):

And the criminal damage our councils cause to our cars by putting artificial obstructions in the middle of the road, it costs me two suspension parts every single year: https://youtu.be/4rTu0jVTCK8
