Concepts of home improvement.

That, or they got the idea from watching Home Improvement.

They will rent you a fucking truck, it isn't that expensive either.

[-] blandfordforever@lemm.ee 0 points 2 weeks ago

in my experience, it's better to fuck in a van.

[-] dharmacurious@slrpnk.net 0 points 2 weeks ago

Really it depends. Truck fucking can be way more fun, if you can find somewhere to bend over the tailgate while getting railed. It's really quite exhilarating. But if you're in the cab, van is definitely better.

Like $20 for the first 90 minutes. Makes it very affordable to not own a truck for the few times a year you might need to haul something home

Once again the minivan heavy portfolio pays.

*The damage to the drywall was like that from the store it was 75% off and being used to make some patches and fill a small renovation.

[-] grue@lemmy.world 0 points 2 weeks ago

Not only did I haul drywall home in a minivan, I even had the foresight to buy a couple of 2x4s to act as rails to slide it on so the edges wouldn't get chewed up by the rounded rear hatch opening.

Wow, a biblically accurate Honda accord

Listen Linda.... Sometimes you go to HD, buy stuff, and then forget you have to get it home.

Believe me, those folks with the small cars had a plan. They just got carried away. Always amazed at what I can get into my Yaris with a little creative thinking.

[-] JackbyDev@programming.dev 0 points 2 weeks ago

We got the 12 ft skeleton into my wife's Honda Fit. I mean, the box wouldn't fit so the employees helped us load every single piece in, but we got it all in!

[-] _bcron@midwest.social 0 points 2 weeks ago

I got carried away with a 2004 Chevy Cavalier coupe at Ikea like 15 years ago. I bought a bedframe, nightstand, dresser, and a couple cheap wood chairs.

And then I saw a small cheap couch and decided to grab it impulsively on my way to checkout like it was a pack of gum or something.

I got everything except the couch to just barely barely fit, and I started looking at that huge box for the couch and thought "have I lost my mind" and had to go back in and return it right then and there

I’ve carried various 6-10’ pipes and poles sticking out the passenger seat of my Miata. Infinite vertical space! lol

The guy with a truck had a concept of a plan

[-] The_v@lemmy.world 0 points 2 weeks ago

I keep looking at it wondering ... Why? The others are common. The truck, however took a little special reasoning.

[-] bobs_monkey@lemm.ee 0 points 2 weeks ago

Underestimating the bed rail loading. I'd love to make a Ford joke, but let's be real, all truck beds would crumple like that.

You all laugh, but one time I was young, dumb, and just did what people told me to do.

In this regard, I found myself pulling a grain auger on a much-too-small flat deck trailer. The trailer was maybe 10ft long by 6 ft wide, so we put one wheel of the grain auger on the deck, and one on the external tail light of the trailer which was relatively sturdy. 'are you sure this is a good idea?' 'fuck it, she'll go. Just go slow'

So I start driving. No immediate problems. Turns out that going down a major, winding hill at the 100 km posted speed limit is not a good idea with an awkward load. It's also a pretty interesting time to figure out that if you brake, you make the trailer sway worse. Hmm so speed up it is! Started at the top of the hill at about 90 km/hr and came out for it at about 120 km/hr. Lol.

And that's just one of the times I shoulda died! Whee.

This is also why I mentor the fuck out of any junior I work with. too many stories like this.

[-] abbadon420@lemm.ee 0 points 2 weeks ago

I've also got a story of other people saying "it'll be fine" while I should have been thinking for myself.

I used to be a garbage truck driver. I was sent to pick up a bin at some fishing club. It was at the end of a dead end road. I drove my truck to the end hoping there would be enough room to turn the truck around. Of course there wasn't. That's when I should've just decided to back out, but I didn't. I asked the members of that club if the garbage truck usually turns around or backs out. They said "sure you can turn it on the grass, they do that all the time".

So I started turning, one small moment later, I was stuck in the grass. My back wheels just kept slipping and digging in deeper. I putting gravel and wooden boards under the wheels, but nothing really worked. In the end we got like 6 of the fingers to push the truck (10.000+kg) out of the grass.... and they fucking did it! It took a little back and forth, but we managed to get the truck out with teamwork.

It was a pretty stupid decision of mine, but I learned from it. It was 10 years ago, but I still remember it well,because it was just and awesome experience of teamwork and humanity.

[-] smort@lemmy.world 0 points 2 weeks ago

6 of the fingers

I don’t get that term in this context. What’s a “finger” here?

[-] superkret@feddit.org 0 points 2 weeks ago

autocorrect of fisher I assume.

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.

[-] Fosheze@lemmy.world 0 points 2 weeks 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.

generation?

[-] Viking_Hippie@lemmy.world 0 points 2 weeks ago

Pretty sure that's Italian for genre. Or a weird typo/autocorrect error/both 😁

[-] TropicalDingdong@lemmy.world 0 points 2 weeks ago
[-] BluesF@lemmy.world 0 points 2 weeks ago

The plural of genre is genres. The singular of genera is genus... Which might make sense here, but not as a plural.

It's actually English for "I'm so sneaky I found a way to bait people into commenting on my post".

[-] deadbeef79000@lemmy.nz 0 points 2 weeks ago* (last edited 2 weeks ago)

Plural of genre. Still should have been singular "genre" though, unless there are multiple genera of these images.

[-] Ethalis@jlai.lu 0 points 2 weeks ago

I think the word genre comes directly from the french word ("genre", meaning "type"), which in the plural form is "genres". I don't think "genera" means anything, it's probably a typo

[-] grue@lemmy.world 0 points 2 weeks ago* (last edited 2 weeks ago)

"Genera" is a plural form of "genus" (i.e. also "type," but in the fancy scientific sense used in taxonomy).

[-] ColeSloth@discuss.tchncs.de 0 points 2 weeks ago

Yeah....no it isn't.

[-] ArmoredThirteen@lemmy.ml 0 points 2 weeks ago

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

[-] Annoyed_Crabby@monyet.cc 0 points 2 weeks ago

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

Your not putting a stack of sheet in the back of a van.

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?

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.
