I bet they can win any plushie they want
- i woke up my wife laughing to this 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣.
This reminds of a guy who was doing road work on my street a while ago. Crusty-est redneck you can imagine with a cigarette in his mouth at all times. He was a damn artist with the heavy machinery, though. I remember him carefully smoothing and filling the road after digging and it was done with delicacy and attention to detail like you wouldn't believe. My wife and I named him Dale.
- Why Dale?
  
  Felt right.
  
  Looks like Dale from King of the Hill?
  
  Et tu Dale?
That combo brush/claw attachment is slick!
I came
My god, I would gladly switch careers so long as my ADD and I got to play with ~~toys~~ tools like that.

I already have several dozen hours of experience on a mini excavator and a mini skid steer, too bad a wrist connection like this just isn’t made for the cheap Chinese mini excavators.
- Well, these careers are going extinct, so they're not badly paid nowadays (speaking from experience).
  
  The career is going instinct like not enough jobs or the people entering these fields as career choices is going extinct so there is seemingly more work than available tradesman?
I'm sooooo satisfied
My toxic trait is thinking that I can do this
- ...and be a pro at it within days.
  
  Nah. First time.
I watched a video earlier of a robot hot dog machine fucking up monumentally while trying to dispense a hot dog, and then I watched this video and man, it really is going to be a long time before we have to worry about robots taking all the jobs.
- Your assuming the importance of quality.
  
  *you're
  
  sorry i have an illness
Millions of skilled labourers probably like this exist across the globe with talent and skill beyond anything we could even imagine.
cool video. How do the attachments work? there's some kind of locking mechanism right? seemed like they just scooped up the attachments into place, but that would also mean certain movement could make the attachments fall off, unless there's a locking mechanism.
- No, there's an unlocking mechanism activated on the operator's side. The locking is automatic (with a swipe), but not the unlocking.
  
  Thanks! Makes sense
I'm sad he didnt do a little tappy tap on the lid after he gently placed it.
It was obviously impressive work, but what was the work?
- My guess would be drain installation. It appears to be the minimum grade of a field with potential for a lot of runoff.
Walter, where is the money?
He even packed up his stuff and straightened it up 🥺
This is the closest thing I've seen to an IRL labor mech from Patlabor
Just think how good this person could be with a little practice!
Bro wtf I never imagined this is what it's like to be inside of one of those yellow excavators. That looks so fucking fun!
Like that time I ran a marathon in 20 minutes
Don't let the AI see how well the digger arm can manipulate it's environment!
- Here? No chance. But it was posted on reddit first 🤷.
