My secret trick?
I've been using the same stove for a quarter of a century. Was here when I moved in.
The trick is: the knobs don't come off. (In the extremely unlikely chance they might come off, I, like, just put 'em back in. I guess. Not that it happens!)
Looks like they don't build them like they used to!
They do build them like they used to.
But if your devices had broken down in the past like all the other devices from that time, you wouldn't be telling this story. Classic survivorship bias.
Kids today just don't know the joys of sticking paperclips into the knob-less posts and then trying to guess what each stop on the knob does.
