20+ Insiders spill the beans on the secrets of their industry

There's nothing more mind-bending than discovering how intricate the inter-workings are of every little thing around us. We spend so much time focusing on our own careers and lives that we couldn't possibly take in and process everything that is going on. It's a bit of a terrifying realization; we miss and don't observe infinitely more than we actually do. Our understanding of this world that's happening all around us is incredibly limited by the scope of our perspective and learned experiences.

That's one reason why threads like this are so fascinating; they reveal things that are working under the surface of an ocean that we haven't breached. Often they hold wild surprises and secrets for things that you'd never even stopped to consider.

The one with the most disturbing implications is u/simjanes2k's description of how the manufacturing industry really operates (Item #4). The ignorant among us had probably imagined the process as far as that a car was more or less slapped together in one building but never even paused to consider where each and every little component came from.
