It's the same guy digging those tunnels.

If you look at his channel it's obvious that the guy saw the primitive technology videos and thought "I could do that!" He made two low-rent primitive technology knockoff videos and then just decided to start digging a hole instead.

I want that sticker over half the equipment at work.

Plus a "SERIOUSLY, DON'T SCREW WITH THIS THING" variant.

Maybe a "LEAVE THIS SWITCHED TO REMOTE LOOK THEY HAD US INSTALL AN ARBITRARY LOCAL/REMOTE SWITCH BECAUSE THEY THOUGHT IT MIGHT BE USEFUL BUT SERIOUSLY WHAT ARE YOU DOING YOU HAVE NO REASON TO RUN THIS THING IN LOCAL EVER EVEN IF YOU'RE TESTING JUST SEND A COMMAND FROM THE PLC AND IF THE PLC ISN'T WORKING YOU SURE AS HELL AREN'T GOING TO NEED TO START THIS IN LOCAL MODE AND IF YOU END UP LEAVING IT IN LOCAL MODE IT WON'T START IN REMOTE AND PEOPLE WON'T KNOW WHAT THE HELL IS GOING ON" one too but that's a bit much to have on a sticker.

"Hydrofluoric acid has an acidic odor and is very dangerous, even in small quantities. In contact with the skin, the substance eats through to the bone without immediate pain. The fire department was at the scene for hours after the leak was closed to monitor the situation."

"Tiny Trains"

This morning I was woken up to the garbage truck being noisier than usual for some reason, the driver was having trouble maneuvering out of our tiny little parking area. He managed to get out onto the street and then raise the dumpster up. He decided to do this directly under our low hanging power line covered in decayed insulation mostly flaking off. There was a loud pop and then no power to the building. He knew something was up so finished dumping, backed up, looked up for a while, craned his head out the window, then drove off.

Speaking of zinc fumes my chemistry professor once told a story about the metal workshop he ran in his backyard where he was working with copper and came up short on how much he needed for the piece. But then he thought "oh hey I have these pennies." He learned a valuable lesson on what happens when you breathe zinc.
