no

what a fucking barbarian. How can you waste perfectly good tea bags like that.

>>11326407
I used to do this to my essays in highschool so it would seem like I completed the assignment a long time ago and carelessly let it lay around the house getting coffee stains and shit.

Yeah, convinced a qt I had a first edition copy of Infinite Jest

No, but I put my books in the dryer to make them appear as if I've read them

>he doesn't burn the edges of his business card to make it look like he's been working for hundreds of years

>not walking around with a cane and also visibly wearing adult diapers to appear older and wiser

>>11326407
Why would you even bother? It's not even the same sort of paper as they used hundreds of years ago.

>>11326461
salty bags of tea

>filename
>actually doing that to the books you buy with your hard earned cash
You are a fucking hipster

>>11326407
Why even bother ruining a good book? Besides, all you need to do is check the date of printing to know you are full of shit. You aren't going to fool professional appraisers, if that's what you are planning on doing. They probably come across this shit all the time.

OP, kill yourself please. This is disgusting behavior.

don't overcomplicate it anon

I do this with 100 year old books to make them seem even older

>>11327375

I just throw them in the fire tbqh.

>>11326508
I don't even think hipsters would do this, this Is a new breed.

>the literary equivalent of releasing albums in 2018 on vinyl is to pay a renaissance fair autist to transcribe your novel by quill on 1500s quality paper

>>11327375
Absolutely nothing wrong with this.

>>11327556
The literary equivalent to vinyl is actually physical books.

>>11327375
wtf

>>11327556
Vinyl has better sound quality though. I'm not even a /mu/ fag but if you are a music autist you should go for vinyl when possible to get those vibration gainz.

>>11327614
This.

>>11327882
Thats not true. The sound is coming through speakers either way.

>>11326407
I buy old parchment on ebay and copy down the books I read with a quill pen.

I used to date my essays much earlier than I began writing them (the day before they were due) so teachers would think I was a nice young man who’d gotten a nice early start on the essays. Eventually I just stopped caring and put the actual date (the day before the essay is due) or just the due date itself. It’s never been mentioned. I doubt they bother to look at the date.

you are all like little babies
watch this

>>11327959
I unironically did this with Infinite Jest and the end notes just because of how annoying it was to keep switching back and forth.

>>11327955
I always put the due date as the date, even when I started earlier. Isn’t that what you’re supposed to do?

>he doesn't tear out the blank pages from 100-year-old books in his library's archive, bind them together and print his own books using techniques and inks used at the time
Sad.

>>11327882
>he doesn't use flac
Holy fucking plen.

>>11327955
That's retarded
>>11328010
Yes, that's exactly what you're suppose to do.
