What was your weapon of choice? Sledgehammer? Battle Axe? Bulldozer Tread?
And the most important question of all, did the weapon of choice survive?..

Industrial lathe, but a crack is merely aesthetic “damage”. It’s like taking a power drill and scratching the casing of a 3310 and than saying “look at me! I destroyed the 3310. Bow for my power, peasants”. The 3310 didn’t even register the crack.
A 3310’s screen was nothing like those fragile touch sensitive screens we have now.

But you didn’t answer the most important question. Did the lathe survive? 🤔

Well yes of course. I did say “INDUSTRIAL lathe”. Those things are just as destructive as 3310’s are indestructible. Even when you turn them off, it takes a good couple minutes before they’re not deadly anymore. The torque is over 9000! Those things can crush diamonds without breaking a sweat.

LOL, I know, I was trained to use an old-school industrial lathe and milling machine in high school back around the year 2000.
You know those memeish signs that basically says don’t stick your dick in the machine? Yeah, I think the Nokia 3310 was tougher than the average human male sausage and potatoes…
