go home nut, you're drunk
traditionally you put the hole through the center of the bolt, but this nut doesn't play by your daddy's rules
this is an eccentric nut. they're supposed to look like this, and they're all very disturbing
this one specifically comes off my 3d printer and is there so you can adjust it and it'll move a roller up and down, which lets you adjust how tightly it attaches to the X-axis crossbar
AHHHHHHH
no
fun fact: they also make eccentric bolts and screws.
they are equally horrible
they are equally horrible
no no no no no no no no no
OH COME ON
this one is double sided and I'm disappointed they're not differently offset
this came up while I was looking at eccentric screws and I'm not sure if it should should marked NSFW
which face do you prefer?
oh come on. there's eccentric and there's just stupid
this is what happens if you get an axis shift while 3d printing
I don't like any of these. it annoys me that they exist.
I'm sure there's perfectly good reasons why you'd need one: I just hate them.

that's not an eccentric screw, you just made it wrong
there's eccentric washers too.
they're just like regular washers except they were made wrong

why not
or better yet

STOP PLEASE
if I had a store where I was selling these I'd just list them all as badly made bolts
discount on all our badly made screws
eccentric flat head, that sounds fun to try to screw in
ever need to hook up your garden hose around a pipe? well now you can
oh no this one's electrical
what
this came up but it's not really an eccentric connector, but it's a connector tester that uses an eccentric arm device.
You know what this does?
it tests USB connectors.
You know what this does?
it tests USB connectors.
you screw a USB connector into that left side, then another one into that right side, then it repeatedly removes and inserts it.
So you can figure out how many insertion cycles it'll survive!

this also kinda means it's a USB fucking machine, yes.
BAN THIS FILTH
this is exactly the film they showed in my sex ed class
there's a special machine for torturing books
you turn the dial until it rips out a page, then it tells you how hard it was to pull out the page

I found the rabbit hole of industrial testing machines and I jumped down it and brought my shovel
the suggested video off that one was an antique electric blasting machine from a youtube channel called "Abandoned Mines of Pennsylvania" which sounds like some seriously interesting content
oh no now they're testing people
oh my god it's a machine to test desk drawers
I love it and I want one
or maybe I'll settle for one of these 45° flammability tester
I'm extra amused by the fact that it's a flammability tester that mentions degrees but it's not a temperature
anyway I'm gonna go to bed now and dream of large testing machines
