It’s great for keeping rust off tools. Just the slightest whiff of vaseline will keep rust away for years. I tend to use a spray can of vaseline for that though, not a tub.

I use it as anti-seize for RF connectors. It allows cables to connect to antennas without getting stuck, even if left like that for years in maritime environments.

EDIT: Just make sure the vasseline is neutral and not (even slightly) acidic. Otherwise it’ll cause corrosion.

I’m beginning to think I have fragile nipples…

Shard,

Drax?

BloodSlut,

My nipples too, are extraordinarily humble

wholemilk,

I used some around my nose when I caught a nasty cold and I couldn’t stop blowing my nose. It helped with the pain.

Cosmocrat,

I use it to coat my car battery terminals.

cpo,

For evaluation talks with my employees ofcourse…

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.

When you’re stuck like glue

When you need some goo

When you’re black and blue

If you’d like to woo

thawed_caveman,

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

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.

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.

moogable,

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

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.
