@LexYeen @alice
Just when I think I have acquired the ability to think about problem solving differently, I see something like this and realize what an amateur I am.
Now sharing with my (adult), children!

@alice really cool old lock!

[alice@lgbtqia.space]

@JamesMDonohoe @LexYeen I had the idea after picking the lock the first time with a turning tool.

I figured that, with three discs in it, and no springs, that the discs would tend towards the open position (as the gate is lighter weight than the non-gate), and once in the correct position, would be more inclined to stay in that position due to the binding of the disc against the shackle. Since the shackle is in direct contact with the discs, vibrating them should rotate it to open.

It worked

@matoakit it's a really early version of a disc-detainer lock. The improvements mine has were patented in 1871, but shows a slightly more complex mechanism than mine, so I suspect mine is from about that time too.

@alice Alice nooo! James H. McWilliams is probably spinning in his grave (but, like, really smoothly while trying to minimise vibrations).

@alice we must imagine the lock smiling as she lies there devastated… 🤭

@pentup @alice …I am now realizing why River Song had such good times with the Doctor…

@alice this is as funny as opsex cardigans.

@alice society always underestimates the power of vagina owners

[alice@lgbtqia.space]

@doctormo wait, why is this a term I don't know about? "opsex cardigans"

[alice@lgbtqia.space]

@matildalove this vibe works on locks, cocks, nips, *and* box!

@alice looks like latest Lockpicking Lawyer's April Fools video

@alice It’s why chastity belts were a waste of time and batteries.

[reiddragon@fedi.catto.garden]

@alice watched a lot of LPL, but I haven't seen him use a magic wand to pick a lock

[emla139@mamot.fr]

@alice where can I buy such tools

[alice@lgbtqia.space]

@speaktrap obligatory "I don't recommend the videos of Trump supporters or folks who associate with them".

[alice@lgbtqia.space]

@benjamincox aww, but chastity belts make for fun little bedroom skill-checks!

And I can't be the only one who stashes lockpicks in my pillow cases
