minus-squareScribbd@feddit.nllinkfedilinkarrow-up18·1 year agoAs instructed: ‘insert thumb’. I don’t think I am the only one thinking inserting on a flat fragile surface means: “punch hole”. If it had some cavity for your thumb to be inserted in it would make more sense. “Grip corner and lift”?
minus-squareXTornado@lemmy.mllinkfedilinkarrow-up2·1 year agoYeah I get it … but yeah they meant like insert in-between the flaps. That said not sure what wording I would use there.
