Wait, what's confusing here? I thought it was just (mildly) amusing how the guy legitimately loading a tire into a truck looked like a crossfit exercise.

There's even a "Pukie the Clown" mascot for crossfitters because of their obsession with working out until they throw up.

Pushing yourself hard is obviously good but working out until you puke seems to me like you're overdoing it. It seems kind of like if a racecar driver were to decide that you're supposed to drive fast enough that you lose control and crash off the track.

It also fucks up your kidneys in the process of clearing it up.
It's not training until you pee tea :downs:

People normally get rhabdo when debris falls on them during an earthquake.

You must be new to advertising

Some of the ones I remember:

- That GE coal ad using "16 Tons," a song about how coal mining has ruined the singer's life
- Mercedes-Benz ad using Janis Joplin's song also called "Mercedes-Benz", which is about the futility of consumerism
- Ad for some cruise company that used "Lust for Life", Iggy Pop's song about how great it feels to shoot heroin
- Uncountable GO 'MERICA ads using either "Born in the USA" or "Fortunate Son" (opening line being "some folks are born, made to wave the flag, ooh that red-white-and-blue"), both of which are about the corruption, racism and classism of the Vietnam war
- and my personal favorite, this abomination
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZGiyQC_t0MY
the original song is called "Look What They've Done To My Song" and it is about the songwriter's inner turmoil as they question selling out to a record industry

The trailer for the Trigger Movie used Third Eye Blind's Semi-Charmed Life and not only skipped all the lines about taking crystal meth, they didn't use any of the lyrics. Related, Alvin And The Chipmunks actually covered the song but changed the lines "She comes 'round and she goes down on me" to "She comes 'round and she walks up to me", "Doing crystal meth will lift you up until you break" to "Dreaming of a state that will lift you up until you break" and "Those little red panties, they pass the test, Slide up around the belly face down on the mattress" to "Those little red candies they pass the test, Right inside my belly, please feed me all the rest." :v:
They still left in a bunch of drugtaking references like "Chop another line like a coda with a curse" and "And then I bumped up, I took the hit that I was given, Then I bumped again, then I bumped again" but they're vague enough to pass I guess.

Dear OSHA Thread,
I never thought it would happen to me...


srsly tho I love this thread and have done a lot of reading but no posting since I don't see the same batshit insane stuff you guys do. But today I was lucky(?) enough to unload some garbage off of a trailer in the backroom!

It's probably not super OSHA but it looked like a hilariously ghetto-rigged temporary solution where nobody would want to pay for a permanent one. Aside from taking a hydraulic lift that my manager said was probably older than the two of us combined, I noticed this glued to the side of the building:



This is just the right side but I can assure you the left is identical(ly crappy). Admittedly I've never noticed anything quite as out of place in the center store or my department but this struck me as... bad. And yes, is that a pallete that fell back there? Is it part of the solution? Who knows!

I worked at a grocery store for a few years where the hydraulic lift was slipping too far past the cement posts that prevented the truck from backing up flush to it, and instead of fixing it they would use old pallets to keep it pushed forward enough to unload.

Some drivers unfamiliar with our system would bridge the gap with a pallet instead then run the mule into it at full speed like it was jumping off a ramp.

I've heard helo medevac trips are insanely expensive. In this case, how expensive are they when they fly out a mobile ER unit, work on a person, then fly every one back to the hospital.

I would also hope that the small town FD and EMS are going to get an award or something. Keeping the guy from bleeding out long enough for doctors to get there is pretty incredible.

Farmers loving know that you don't get in the loving bin with a running auger, because everyone knows someone who did this and died. So my question is why the gently caress did this guy get in the bin? Was he deliberately doing it with the auger running, to clear a clog, in which case he deserves what he got, or was someone else on the tractor and decided to engage the PTO, in which case the other guy deserves to be shot and buried in a ditch.

Just for reference, there is no lockout/tagout on a tractor's PTO system. The lockout is to turn the tractor off and pocket the key.

Man, nobody ever replaces the bulb in the 3rd brake light. Why the gently caress even have the thing. (Nissan in front of the camera car, as well as the nondescript chevy? in the turn lane)

One of my foreman insists it's a reflector in the top of his 2009 Ranger, since the bulb doesn't work. Every car/truck after 1991 had it here in :canada:

I've offered to take the two screws out to show him there's a burned out bulb, or point to other Rangers on the road with working third brake lights, but he refuses to accept he's wrong. :f5:

And everyone runs with their fog lights on all the time, and the stupid chevys that turn on their reverse lights when not in reverse. Lights on your car mean nothing now, embrace automotive lamp nihilism.

The Simpsons infamously changed the Chili Peppers lyrics "What I got you gotta get and put it in ya" to What I'd like is I'd like to hug and kiss ya."

Admittedly, this was much better, and something everyone could enjoy.
