In my experience, one millimeter (1mm) is enough to stop a full ton dead in it's tracks, while also

Edit: lol early morning commenting.

"while also completely being ignored by the pallet jack when it's not carrying something "

Kein Ausbildungsberuf.

This is literally an unskilled job. Except you need a certificate. Which requires ~~skill~~ sorry: training and practice.

Ah thanks, that gives some context because I didn’t really understand. Also, I was just tasting the word Gabelstaplerfahrer because it sounds funny when you say it fast.

[–] bstix@feddit.dk 1 points 11 months ago (1 children)

German is easy like that.

Gabel = fork
Stapler = stacker
Farher= driver

The etymology of these words is pretty far out, but it's technically the same as forklift driver. I don't know. To me it's the same picture.

[–] watersnipje@lemmy.blahaj.zone 1 points 11 months ago

Yeah I know, I can speak German but it still has funny sounding words :D

Don't bother, they already got him.

[–] Zwiebel@feddit.org 10 points 11 months ago (1 children)

Might be because lifting a full ton up a milimeter by hand isn't easy?

[–] SARGE@startrek.website 4 points 11 months ago

I mean.... You're not wrong.

[–] CodingCarpenter@lemm.ee 3 points 11 months ago

Nice I'm using that next time I get laid

[–] Macropolis@lemmy.world 14 points 11 months ago

Chippy boi also can bounce a 8k lb forklift with no struggle.

[–] atocci@lemmy.world 11 points 11 months ago

Vibrating, bouncing, and grinding to a halt

[–] noxy@yiffit.net 9 points 11 months ago

aaaand there goes the whole pallet

[–] dogsnest@lemmy.world 6 points 11 months ago (1 children)

I'm pissed it took me a few seconds to 'get' this.

How do I reapply?

[–] idiomaddict@lemmy.world 3 points 11 months ago (1 children)

I don’t get it. Unless it’s talking about how hard it is to eat fries with a fork?

[–] atocci@lemmy.world 8 points 11 months ago* (last edited 11 months ago) (1 children)

It's a wood chip, not a fry chip. Even the smallest of bumps is enough to cause a pallet jack to grind to a stop. Instead of rolling over the "obstacle", the things are heavy enough and the wheels are small enough that they just can't, so they stop. Then you have to back it up and kick whatever dust speck it hit out of the way before continuing.

[–] idiomaddict@lemmy.world 3 points 11 months ago

Huh. I had no idea, but it makes sense. Thanks!

[–] flicker@lemmy.world 6 points 11 months ago

I let out a frustrated howl. Good meme!
