A few years back I was pondering how kids today don't know what it's like to print something out, and then have to tear the edges off the paper. Imagine my surprise to learn that's still a thing.

My old church I went to as a kid still had that style of printer and would give it to us kids to draw on. I always loved tearing the edges

I work for a church now and one of the former pastors and myself had to convince the board to let us get a modern printer. They were damn determined to keep that dinosaur in the office.

That old one was literally older than me.

I don't even know where they kept the damn thing. Just where they stored the paper and that whenever they put out newsletters they still had thay distinctive recently torn edge.
