In food history, we notice how super-refined foods--gelatin, vienna sausage, white bread--lose class and become horrifying once they become industrialized. Suddenly, fingermarks in bread dough demonstrate skill, not clumsiness.
Post-chatGPT, I'm feeling this about writing. Smoothness feels gross.

🧪Jemmy first wanted to look at improving Seychelles capability in detecting fingermarks on paper by exploring the use of 1,2-indanedione, a reagent that reacts with amino acids present in fingermarks to reveal them as coloured, luminescent, impressions. www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...
New light on old fingermarks: The detection of historic latent fingermarks on old paper documents using 1,2-indanedione/zinc
This study explores trends in the effectiveness of 1,2-indandione/zinc chloride (IND/Zn) for visualizing latent fingermarks on paper substrates of var…

See, this is why I like hand-blown glass so much. The vase is so serene while its shadow is over there shouting look again: I'm so full of intrigue. (Apologies for the fingermarks. It's too early to clean.) #artglass #handblown #photography #light #shadow

Before you can get another scream out, the sides of the tent bulge, and then part, and a young man tumbles into you. He seems to have been crying quite recently and he is clutching some sodden, partly burned papers. You notice faint pink fingermarks on his cheek (left upper) as he rights himself.
"Well I say retired. None of the allegations were ever proved." Grind, grind, crunch, scritt, screee, says the stone. Then, a dry, scratchy patter and trickle as if of sand falling onto more sand. "Now, would you like a slice of speltcake," I say. You start to scream

And the ones you read on holiday and don't leave for someone else to pick up have to be kept because the fatty fingermarks bring back memories of what you ate.

Many movie-lovers would admit that the traces of that labour (and thus of the love that drove the labourers to their expertise) are sadly missed in work that has ‘solved’ the budget problem with digital technology. CGI Yoda; Aardman without fingermarks in the plasticine.
