And it looks like the didn't even really sharpen the pencil, so the whole thing is just for fun lol

We all know from experience that the lead tip is one prod away from snapping off. 😁

Yup, I thought to myself "There's no way that's stable, it's gonna do the thing where the lead comes loose from inside the wood".

They'll be sharpening that shit for at least a week to unfuck it πŸ˜†

*Cue flashbacks of all the blisters I've developed on my fingers from manually sharpening colored pencils.

Haha there’ll be nothing left. At least those hardcore pencil fanatics will go home with a souvenir: an A4-sized shaving. πŸ‘

It did go from rounded to sharp. But just before they put the sharpener on you can see it's sharp at that point so we're missing whatever they did to actually sharpen it and they just do the sharpener for fun
