I learned about these from the projectionist where I worked, back when I was a kid. When they’d get taken out of a projector and thrown in the garbage, he’d smash them on the ground to get the tungsten electrodes out. Apparently they both looked cool, like the surface of the moon, and sold for a lot!

Everybody laughing at this comment needs to know that THIS DOES HAPPEN. Ex-employee had to return her laptop, so we send a UPS return label via e-mail. She shows up at the UPS store with the laptop in hand and is surprised when they tell her it needs to be in a box. We received the laptop inside the wildest combination of two boxes taped back-to-back and filled with garbage that didn’t even form effective packing material.
Some people have literally never shipped anything in their life before, despite being 30 🤷
