"These are so my kinda humans." Pretty girls? Sure.
Probably.
It's a table full of washers laid out and grouped for feck's sake.
Read the coments, read the room .. if only it had been a table full of hammers.
For all the CNC machining videos I watch (its a thing - check it out), If a person made a series of chill videos explaining the finer points of a well curated washer collection I'd watch it.

I know I'm going to get a lot of hate for this, but here goes: what attention does she deserve? I always wonder this with collectors. They simply gather things that were created through the ingenuity and know-how of others. This doesn't strike me as any more remarkable than the Funko Pop collector. Of course, I am NOT saying her hobby should be derided. More power to her. But it certainly doesn't strike me as somethi…
I don't think she "deserves attention", and in fact that's a very strange way to look at what she's doing, but odds are she's sharing her washer collection with other people because she enjoys collecting and talking about them. Saying it's about attention is both an insult and a logical stretch.
It seems to imply an attention economy where that is the objective an cultural currency in a way I find off-putting.
Is the picture of her posted with her consent?
Consent is not necessary to take or share photographs taken in public. Also, probably yes.
Maybe not legally, depnds on the country, but morally.
Epecially now since AI training data is ripped from every possible source.
This brings me a lot of joy. I hope she gets the attention she deserves. I'm fascinated by people with deep and narrow interests.

All attention that was given, I guess. Its not like she is making anyone do anything. People who like it talk about it. That's all
I am surprised she don't display any spring washers (there are maybe two?). They can look quite fancy. Plain washers get old quickly I guess when you got a set of outer to inner diameter ratios.

It's entirely possible she has mechanical engineering qualifications or aviation engineering certification, can machine washers and understands how and why all the variations are used much as, say, this person appears to: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=40629075 People that deeply understand particular subjects are valuable when those subjects are key to things that make the world work, they both keep things goi…
They do not preach that their God will rouse them a little before the nuts work loose.
They do not teach that His Pity allows them to leave their job when they damn-well choose.
As in the thronged and the lighted ways, so in the dark and the desert they stand,
Wary and watchful all their days that their brethren’s days may be long in the land.This brings me a lot of joy. I hope she gets the attention she deserves. I'm fascinated by people with deep and narrow interests.

I think this kind of activity is better for society as a whole than, for example, playing video games or watching TV. It’s natural these days to think well of people who care about things other than media.

I can imagine watching an entire ThisOldTony video on washers. In fact, the topic of the video probably does not matter at all.
