You're supposed to wind the tape around the pencil and eat it like spaghetti.
They don't, since the pencil is too thin (using your pinky has the same effect). Use a bic pen or a german/japanese pencil and then you can rewound the tape proper.
ya just need to tilt the tape to a different angle dude!
even then you will get slippage.
its not like you got anything better to do...
Huh, what you mean? I simply enjoy cassettes.
HAHA so you listen to one, while you rewind another
come on my friend! pretend its the 80s again and you can't afford TWO tape decks, so if you don't want to wait you gotta spin that tape for a few songs....
you know this is why we made mix tapes.... and those 120 minute tapes were the shit
and those 120 minute tapes were the shit
shit and unreliable, yeah. C-60 or at most C-90s
Is it slippage or the natural result of something smaller having to turn more than one revolution to cover the same distance?
mhm no, the bic pen / german/japanese pencil are do actually block the return motion, it wont result in slippage. The american pencil is so thin that it at best can grap onto one or two spokes.
Eh, easier to slip is not equivalent to guaranteed slippage.
You hold the pencil and twirl the cassette around on it.
Nah. You don’t want it to rotate, you want to move your hand in a small circle.
You use the wood right before the exposed lead and maintain pressure toward the outside of the spool. The pen clip cap from a Bic or a partially unbent paper clip worked even better than a pencil.

exactly. and even better is a german/japanese pencil as they fit the inner spool perfectly.
as demonstrated by techmoan: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=58EitSEFzo8
I used to use some felt-tip pens, perfect fit.
It goes in the round hole!
OK so for better conveyance, I will say the pencil rewound the tape, and leave this handy image:
Pencil sharpener
Also, fake picture, as the typical reason for this there would be mangled tape pulled out of the cassette body.
Or when you want to dub and don't want to guess when to hit record.
I was lucky, my dad had a top line Radio Shack system with full control and tape counter, so finding that perfect spot, doing fade outs, etc. was easy. The hard part was guessing when the radio DJ would stop talking and cut to the music.
They didn't, at least in Europe and North America. Japanese pencils are a bit thicker and actually can wind the tape.
You had to hold it at a bit of an angle. Sure beat using your fingertip for an inch at a time.
When data on tape is corrupted, use pencil to rewrite it.
Next up: a butter knife and a VHS player
Sounds like illegal activities...
Was that what you used to wedge out a tape stuck in the player?
Sure was!
Does no one write words on the tape labels?!
I print my own labels :)
When a daddy pencil and a mommy cassette love each other very much...
Millennial bait
Look, the cliché is happening organically!
Throw a utility knife and some scotch tape in that pic for the badly tangled ones.
