That Costco employee knew exactly what they were doing when they placed that sign there, and I commend them for it.
Less and less as you get older
What it may lack in quality, quantity, or frequency it makes up in effort. Gotta have that sense of accomplishment. :)

Absolutely! Unfortunately they don't seem to sell home generators powered by a sense of accomplishment :(
Back in my day, you had to put in effort to run your generators. Kids these days...
I guess in a literal sense all generators are powered by effort

I'm not sure what the intended tune is, and I'm only mostly sure it's not "The Muppet Show Tonight."
I can't figure out what it's meant to say. What starts with "cum" and is genuinely used to power a generator?
Somebody commented earlier about Cummins being a funny name. Turns out there's a company called Cummins that, among other things, makes generators, so it's just the classic "thingamabob powered by {CORPORATION_NAME}" that you see in marketing speak all the time.
Mainly they make diesel engines. Dodge pickups that have a diesel, have a Cummins engine. They may use third party parts to make a generator with their name on it, but the engine is a Cummins. I would guess thar the op picture is some other brand of generator that advertises that the generator is powered by a Cummins engine. Cummins has a reputation of being one of the more dependable diesel engines.
Oh right. I saw that comment but thought it must be some joke about the spice, cos I didn't get the reference, and also didn't think "thingamabob powered by {COMPANY_NAME}" made any sense. I wouldn't say my monitor is "powered by LG". It's just an LG monitor. @Guy_Fieris_Hair@lemmy.world's comment put it together really well, if it's actually another brand with Cummins internals. Like a laptop might be "powered by Intel".
Electron counts are down nationwide. I think it's because micro plastics accumulate in the capacitors.
I did always find Cummins to be a funny name anyway lmao
Brb, my phone is dying
At least it's infinite, I guess?
Electricity is stored in the balls
I keep restarting this damn thing, but my wife, I can never get her to start the darn thing 😔.
I'm starting my own power company
Infinity energy!
gonna need to start selling horses alongside these generators, mere human volumes surely won't cut it
Speak for yourself. They don't call me The Horse for just one reason!
CostCo cleanup staff to generators... someone's shit in the aisle.
I've seen partners called a lot, but that's pretty low 😜

Orgone jokes, in my Lemmy?
