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 3 weeks 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 3 weeks ago

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

Don't bother, they already got him.

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

[–] SARGE@startrek.website 4 points 3 weeks ago

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

[–] CodingCarpenter@lemm.ee 3 points 3 weeks ago

Nice I'm using that next time I get laid

[–] Macropolis@lemmy.world 14 points 3 weeks ago

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

[–] atocci@lemmy.world 11 points 3 weeks ago

Vibrating, bouncing, and grinding to a halt

[–] noxy@yiffit.net 9 points 3 weeks ago

aaaand there goes the whole pallet

[–] flicker@lemmy.world 6 points 3 weeks ago

I let out a frustrated howl. Good meme!

[–] dogsnest@lemmy.world 6 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

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

How do I reapply?

[–] idiomaddict@lemmy.world 3 points 3 weeks 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 3 weeks ago* (last edited 3 weeks 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 3 weeks ago

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