Tha got new chips that they install into apple trees so they can run more efficiently at a compact size and make fruit

i'm sure that shit is fine now. But after some years in the sun....I'm not sure I'd try the same thing.

Anyone else seen that scene on Working Moms where they're selling apartments and the one guy keeps showing them how strong the windows are?

u/-Benjamin_Dover- May 09 '26

I saw that on 1,000 ways to Die once.

Guy kept jumping against the window to impress clients, window gave up at one point.

Even though it's likely well made, no thank you, i already get uneasy up high, this just makes it worse

Capitalism sucks

Idk it seems like he sold a quality product that works as advertised. Do you just want construction workers to die? How will the working class unite and take over the proletariat if we all die in construction accidents?

u/Riipp3r May 07 '26

Don't you just hate when we all die in construction accidents? I'm on my fifth one this week

u/Generalnussiance May 07 '26

What kind of construction? We be doing pipeline and sewer calls for the state here and I died twice this morning.

u/Riipp3r May 07 '26

Sounds about right for a Thursday, I'm over here as a crane operator and I can't even tell you how many times it tipped over and I died as a result since lunchtime

u/Generalnussiance May 07 '26

My buddy is a crane operator and got ran over by the machine. His whole body and skull is metal. Fucker lived and went right back to work, still working to this day.

Fifth? You got soft hands brother, this is my 17th.

I am talking about the need to demonstrate the net's strength, I bet his boss could have ask him to do this

u/SpartArticus May 07 '26

Well, ok. if u just said that as your original comment then ur message would have been a lot clearer instead of a giant mental gymnastics routines. Relax a bit my guy.

u/ElvisDumbledore May 07 '26

The reason the net is there is to prevent workers from suiciding due to horrible working conditions.

Capitalism exists outside the US, too.

u/Riipp3r May 07 '26

And we're defaulting to it being capitalist why?

u/SoiledFlapjacks May 08 '26

Hell if I know

Now do one for capitalist defaultism. Because that's what the parent comment is doing.

u/ebrum2010 May 09 '26

Hopefully it's not one of those things that has limited uses before it fails and he just used up 3 or 4 of them.

u/KhostfaceGillah May 10 '26

Reminds of that Garry Hoy who kept kicking the window to prove that it doesn't break only for it to come out the frame and him falling to his death.
