People that make memes and don't spell check is my least favorite genre

Based on the top two "photos", they must have just got done typing "generate" a few times, so I guess I can see how the error might have occurred.

Elsewhere in the thread someone shared one of the originals where text that's mucked up in the above meme is clear as day. The crazy artifacting must come from some bizarre compression or automated touchup by an editing software. Maybe automated upscaling?

A lot of times bad spelling and grammar are both engagement bait ploys. People can’t resist clicking to make comments about it.

How do you feel about punctuation?

I worked at home depot, and our manager made people sign a form before having a Hi-Lo load a pallet of floor tile into their truck because it would cause their suspension to bottom out. They'd do it, and drive off with zero leeway on their shocks.

We had one guy come in bragging about how his super-expensive hydraulic suspension could handle it. We loaded 2 pallets of tile into his truck bed. I bet he felt every little crack in the road driving to the job site.

[–] [email protected] 25 points 6 days ago

You do feel every little bump and odds are your suspension will never be the same afterwords. But that's why you do it with beater trucks and not anything you actually care about. My dad did the same thing except with landscaping blocks in an old salt truck he picked up for like $200. You can't break a suspension that's already broke.

Or that's the theory anyways. In reality he wound up blowing the same rear tire 3 times on the trip home. Four times if you count the tire blowing again after the truck was parked. We kept having to pull over, dismount the tire, take it home, mount another used tire on the rim, take it back to the truck, and put it back on, and go until it blew again. Every time we had to do that I reminded him that I had told him before hand that he should bring the trailer.

Imagine buying truck just for this moment and then screwed up the loading part.

Go to the Netherlands and see the same thing, but with bikes. I once brought back a 1,5 meter long wooden pannel under my arm. I didn't anticipate the wind, which started to push me out of the road.

[–] [email protected] 18 points 6 days ago

That is not limited to Home Depot. I once saw two ladies trying to fit three trollys full with an IKEA bedroom (bed, frame, mattresses, and a stack of PAX wardrobes, plus a heap of smaller items) into a compact car. A very compact car...

I bought a locker a while back, like the kind you would find in the employee room of a closing bed bath and beyond. It didn't quite fit as expected so we ended up just tying the back hatch as closed as it could with a single rope and took back roads the whole way home. I don't think we went above 20mph for fear of the damage this giant steel box would cause if it fell out. Also got a tetanus shot the next day because I managed to rip my hand on its rusted foot. Good times, I love that locker

I bought a table saw during COVID. They only allowed pickup in the parking lot. You couldn't rent vehicles because we were on lockdown. I had no choice but to pick it up with my Jetta.

People were laughing their asses off at me unpacking it and barely fitting it in the trunk. Styrofoam was going everywhere as I broke it. Had to throw all the packing material into a dumpster.

So embarrassing.

It's great having a work van.

The genus of these pictures is Artificilias. The species is intelligentia.

[–] [email protected] 13 points 6 days ago (4 children)

I don't actually think a single of these photos are AI generated which is insane.

I was in college and needed to fix my apartment. I didn't own a car and took the bus to Lowe's. I called my buddy who had a car.

I'm in this picture.

Same with IKEA, even though you can look up the exact box sizes online there are still people trying to fit sofas into a Fiat 500.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 6 days ago (1 children)

Dude I still try to fit everything into an overcrowded bus and carry it home from the bus station

Sex tape?

"I NEED TO DRIVE EVERYWHERE BECAUSE I CAN'T TAKE A LOAD OF TWO BY FOURS ON A BIKE!!!!"

*buys car*

*does shit like this*

It's the pickup, a car designed to carry shit, that is struggling to carry shit that does it for me. Do American DIY shops not do Home Delivery?

Cudos to the "My good gas mileage car can do this" crowd, though.
