This is the smallest print size i've ever seen

It's a tube of glue that came with a phone repair kit. Thumb for scale.

I literally couldn't read it with the naked eye. Not that you'd want to, because once i saw the picture i realized that it's gibberish

Mildly Interesting @lemmy.world

Legit impressed with the sharpness of that text at that size. That’s definitely not from any fly-by-night back-alley Indian factory using sweatshop labour.
- I was impressed too.
  I bought a fake Casio watch recently, you can tell because of (among other things) the quality of the samller letters. It's hard to print small.
  But these guys did it. This broken english is printed with impeccable quality.

  That’s probably the funniest bit about this whole thing. Absolutely impeccable workmanship, but horrendous English. If only they spent a touch more money for decent translator.
I didn't have this image saved so I had to search for it with the prompt: "asian guy look at small thing reddit"
and got distracted looking at tiny Asian guys on reddit for like 10 minutes and apparently they have it pretty rough socially :(
- “Señor Chang cheatsheet” should bring it up if you need it again
  
  The concept of “Señor Chang” - the incongruity of an Asian man teaching Spanish in an American community college, never ceases to make me chuckle.
  It reminds me of my own days in community college here in the US, and sitting in an English Literature class, taught by an Indian woman (Mrs. Banerjee) whose accent was so thick, the whole class probably dropped a letter grade just because we couldn’t follow much of what she said.
- I came looking for the meme pic, stayed for the story.
DUDE, your thumb is huge
- You've figured it out
Instructions: 1. Please read instructions
- Don’t forget to large area before use
Banana for scale?
- A banana is way too big for the scale to make sense
- Fuck bananas 💅
  
  Fucking thank you. I wish these tired old reddit memes wouldn't migrate over to Lemmy.
That text is amazing.

I keep meaning to get my eyes checked because any time I go shopping now I gotta pull out my phone, take a pic, zoom in on pic to read the ingredients for anything we haven't bought before (partner has allergies).
I thought my eyes would be fine forever.
- ah those glasses on the end cap at the drug store that say like +1 will fix that if you have those! Love my granny glasses. i think they may call them Reading Glasses but you don't need a scrip forv them were i live and they are as cheap as sunglasses
  
  I hadn't been to the optometrist in forever. When my reading vision finally went, I went ahead and got checked got an exact prescription stylish comfortable frames relatively inexpensive with insurance. Then I went out and bought +1 +2 and +2.5
  I keep the spare one in my car, the spare two is In my backpack I do fine electronics work every now and then
  The 2.5 lives on my workbench I can get real damn close to something to see what the hell's going on, much better than even when I had decent reading vision.
  Glasses suck, but they're also pretty cool.
I just purchased a table, the instructions to set it up were so tiny that I had to use my phone to zoom in. My eyesight is pretty good.
I bought a large jewellers loupe for checking my plants, yet I swear I've used it more for reading tiny labels. Comes in handy, some texts are miniscule (one of my nutrient bottles' instructions is as small as OP's example).

Drilling bottom?
\ Alright, where can I get some???
Isn't there like a minimum x-height rule on labels? That's insanely small.

Looks like Car and Drivers latest font.
