Lubricating the O ring that sits inside the watch case of vintage divers watches to keep them waterproof.

makanimike,

isn’t that not good, because it is petroleum based and will cause the rubber seal to disintegrate faster?

honkeymorpheus,

Most O-rings are made with a material called “Buna-N” (Nitrile), which is not degraded by oils, greases, or common fuels

makanimike,

like the gloves?
cool! TIL!

sparr,

The ointment for my overnight dry eyes is half petroleum jelly half mineral oil. I can and have used Vaseline (which is almost entirely petroleum jelly) in a pinch.

If you are wounded it’s great to apply on your skin

smstnitc,

I haven’t used it since I was a teenager 😂

MrSlicer,

We used it to lubricate seals on a pool pump.

6daemonbag,

Wait does that improve the seal? I have that exact issue right now

MrSlicer,

I believe it was to prevent tears as the gasket was sandwiched between the 2 halves of the pump.

moogable,

My great aunt used to cook with it. By far the weirdest spaghetti Ive ever eaten. 0/10 do not recommend.

CADmonkey,

I had an old Japanese truck, and when I replaced the oil pump you were supposed to pack the spaces around the gears of the new pump so it would pump oil. It was how you “primed” the oil pump.

H3wastooshort,
  1. Heat vaseline in a small container or on a spoon
  2. Suck up into syringe
  3. Inject liberally into veins switches, connectors, and other electronic moving parts that I’d like to be waterproof. (0. Cover PCB in nail polish or specially-made products)

If those parts happen to be plastic, don’t do this. It will slowly dissolve some types of plastic.

spaxxor,

I used to use it with my hobo chiller of doom when extreme overclocking. I only use it to insulate the socket now, the board is covered in liquid electrical tape.

The hobo chiller of doom got upgraded to a water block glued to a peltier, and it’s still hobo as crap.

H3wastooshort,

pictures, please

spaxxor,

Sadly the hobo chiller of doom and the rest of my oc gear are in storage, otherwise I would.

thawed_caveman,

I was going to use it to lubricate keyboard switches but it turns out that it’s bad for plastics.

When you’re stuck like glue

When you need some goo

When you’re black and blue

If you’d like to woo

QuantumQuack,

I get super dry skin in winter, especially on my hands where my skin can even start to crack and bleed. Vaseline works wonders.

Stabbywithsocks1,

Same here, my foreskin also gets really dry during the winter months… ^_^

Cethin,

I have the same issue. Cocoa butter is my preference now, but Vaseline is quick and easy and available pretty much everywhere. Vaseline I feel helps protect my skin well, but cocoa butter actually absorbs into my skin better.

cpo,

For evaluation talks with my employees ofcourse…
