    it doesn’t look like it’s unzipping anything that’s ridiculous

    But those aren’t the same though, I think the left one is CGI and the right is the real one. There’s no window on the left one and it looks to be made of metal while the right one has a window and looks more like some kther material painted to look like metal. There are several other differences, just look at them.

      The left one is the RC model they made before the right one (the full-size version)

      It’s almost certainly fiberglass, probably either wood or foam core depending on weight and size.

      I would totally make an RC version of this if I lived near a lake.

        You’re downvoted to oblivion and even though I’ve heard of YKK, I completely agree.

        It pisses me off when I have to google an acronym every 2 sentences.

          How is the rest of the world supposed to track which acronyms you’ve heard of so we know which ones not to use?

          This whole argument is as fucking stupid as Felon telling his engineers to stop using jargon.

          That’s true for acronyms that are not brand names, but for ones that are — I don’t even know what that acronym means, but I get the point.

          It’s not like you would be able to expand Dolce and Gabbana, because it’s not an acronym, and it may also mean nothing for a person reading, being a brand they might not be interested in

            Then again, I’ve seen people use “DG” (Dolce & Gabbana) or “YSL” (Yves Saint Laurent). If you’re not in a perfume-and-makeup-specific-community then using these as acronyms makes zero sense.

            Again, YKK is definitely an exception because I have a feeling no one would know what the hell you’re talking about if you used “Yoshida Kōgyō Kabushikigaisha” lol

        Not OP, but this wiki article should help: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/YKK It’s the world’s largest zipper manufacturer. They officially changed their name to YKK Group so it’s not even an abbreviation anymore.

        It’s a common abbreviation. YKK owns the majority of the zipper market.

          IIRC, they even had their own custom-made office computers, running their own internally developed operating system and software, during the 80s. Not sure if that was standard practice for Japanese zaibatsu at the time or just a YKK idiosyncrasy.
