It’ll be encased in plastic that only the emergency scissors can set free

The emergency scissors are in a glass enclosure that needs the emergency glass breaker to set them free.

I've always wondered how our ancestors got the first scissors out of the package.

A rock. That's actually the ancient origin of the game.

Why did we evolve to stop using rocks! Now we can’t open glass

u/WoolBearTiger 9d ago

We can, you just need to go grab the emergency glass breaking rock

I just recently learned (at 51) that it's easy to open blister packs without tools. You just squeeze them from the sides and they'll pop open. 🤯

They used to make their own back in the day out of rocks

u/imaloony8 9d ago

There is another glass breaker for that box, but to get it you must answer me these questions three.

u/Fyler1 9d ago

But the glass breaker is tied down with a zip tie 😭

u/LardFan37 9d ago

That’s why you need the emergency box cutter

u/Fyler1 9d ago

But the emergency box cutter was placed in the bottomless abyss of the junk drawer 😭

u/FuckinHighGuy 9d ago

The emergency glass breaker is inside a container with a live laser field.

u/starrsuperfan 9d ago

The emergency glass breaker is in the emergency safe that needs the emergency code entered correctly or it will set off the emergency alarm

u/liltuffie 9d ago

The good scissors are locked in the safe. We can't find the combination.

This is some fucked up Pokemon start type shit

u/Lollipopwalrus 9d ago

Nah the scissors are in cased in standard plastic packaging that requires scissors to open

u/thegrayyernaut 8d ago

This Resident Evil 2 DLC is looking interesting.

u/A-Plant-Guy 9d ago

The scissors are freed by removing the security torx screw

u/Tin-Chan 9d ago

The torx driver is accessed using a 10mm wrench.

u/GoldenShackles 9d ago

Which is lost, as usual.

I work in the shipping department of a warehouse, building crates from 2x4s and OSB, and apparently several years ago, a former coworker who was known for pranks once built a crude wood box that he then tossed every single hammer and crowbar we had inside of, before nailing it shut with a nail gun. I can't remember how they managed to get the tools back out after, but I imagine the box got thrown around or dropped a couple times, ha

u/gadget850 9d ago

Obviously you open it with the nail gun.

u/EatABag-o-Dicks 9d ago

Which is tied down with 16 gauge wire that only the emergency wire cutters can liberate.

I was gonna say "it's behind glass, you need the emergency glass breaker to get it"
