CeruleanRuin, in Front and back of $100 bill, real vs movie prop

It’s so good it even fools film crews.

atrielienz, in Kit Kat’s coolest flavors aren’t sold in the US. Here’s why

I’m. Just gonna say you may actually be able to find these flavors in the US if you happen to visit Asian centric grocery stores.

themeatbridge,

That’s in the article, second paragraph, first sentence.

roboticide,

I like that on Lemmy, you now don’t even have to click the link to actually read the article, and people still don’t do even that before making a stupid comment that is addressed by the article.

atrielienz,

Depends on how you’re viewing Lemmy. And more importantly, I’m not sure why this rates such a vitriolic comment.

roboticide,

On both the standard web page and through Sync, it shows the article text. But on any format, you can click the little link and it will take you to the full article.

And I’m sorry dude, but it’s the internet. If you feel called out over little criticism of your unwillingness to read an article before commenting, that’s a you problem. It’s hardly “vitriolic.” We can and should try and make Lemmy better.

atrielienz,

You don’t have to placate me. It shows part of the text and that depends on the setting you have set. Some articles don’t show at all because of my pihole or other settings on my phone. You made an assumption. And while I didn’t read the whole article, I literally just added my two cents which is kind of what platforms like this are here for.

hoch,

Amazon also has a lot of flavors.

Risk, in A glacier baby is born: Mating glaciers to replace water lost to climate change

So whilst the baby glacier idea has already been assessed as not working in the 90s, the ice stupas (TL;DR - water fountain in a shady mountain, sprays water to make a big pile of ice in winter - melts in summer for crop irrigation) seem pretty useful.

themeatbridge, in Kit Kat’s coolest flavors aren’t sold in the US. Here’s why

Yes, fuck Nestle, but also fuck Hershey. Nestle finds new and innovative ways to be evil, but Hershey is just old-fashioned slave labor and anticompetitive market capture.

Oha, in The Colossal Capterpillar 797 Haul Truck

Holy fuck thats giant! What are these things used for?

Kraven_the_Hunter, (edited )

Hauling at mines.

There are pictures of large pickup trucks (think Ford F250/F350) flattened like a pancake fire from trying to pass one of these without alerting the driver they’re there. When you’re on a mine, these things always have the right of way.

HonkTonkWoman,

“Toot. Toot. Mother fucker. I’m coming through.”

Thebazilly,

Ah yes, a new picture every MSHA refresher. No visibility on a haul truck when you have to climb a staircase to get into the cab.

meldroc,

I imagine this beast doesn’t exactly stop on a dime, especially with a big load.

Train rules apply. The train always wins. The vehicle with a staircase to the driver’s cab always wins.

LifeInMultipleChoice,

Reminds me of the signs they used to have in Seminole County by railroads (could have been elsewhere as well)

“Big train, little car, are you passed the stop bar?”

    Yep, that’s a bad one…

    JohnDClay,

    Moving lots of dirt/rock cheaply. Mostly in mining.

    robotrash,

    I could be mistaken but I believe they move materials in rock quarries, at least that’s what I saw on an episode of some discovery show many years ago. I still think about them regularly too since it’s like 3 stories tall and has a stair case to get to the driver seat lol

    Where is the racing series for them?

    There would be no overtakes. The thing blocks the whole track :) youtu.be/5oWiRKnAThU

    name_NULL111653,

    So? Just get a bigger dirt track, like the width of a demo derby pit but a quarter mile track…

    meldroc,

    Thank you. Now I have to watch it once again :D

    teamevil,

    Beef Supreme!

    HonkTonkWoman,

    They should re-release Ivan Stewart’s Super Off-road & make this an unlockable upgrade.

    You just drive around flattening all the jumps & crushing the other drivers.

    50MYT,

    V8 supercars for the smaller one.

    DestroyerOfWorlds, in The Colossal Capterpillar 797 Haul Truck

    saw one of these rolling coal at a Chic-fil-A

    HonkTonkWoman,

    Don’t you start planting seeds for a Chik-fil-a food truck now…

    Gork, in The Colossal Capterpillar 797 Haul Truck

    I wonder what the overhang is for.

    meldroc,

    When hauling for a quarry, it’s to keep the cab & driver from being smushed when the bucket gets filled with a big pile of boulders.

    Jode, in The Colossal Capterpillar 797 Haul Truck

    Or, what a “full size truck” in America is going to be in 5 years.

    SCB,

    Inshallah

    LifeInMultipleChoice,

    The amazing part is that both vehicles in this picture get the same gas mileage!

    /s

    AKA my zombie apocalypse truck. You could stick a fair sized RV in the bucket and live there.

    HamSandwichGenerator, in Front and back of $100 bill, real vs movie prop

    Did they just Woll Smoth Benjamin Franklin? His mouth looks way smaller.

    Eh Bagger 288 would win in a fight.

    @obinice@lemmy.world avatar

    Fuck, and I can’t say this enough, Nestle.

    Squander, in Kit Kat’s coolest flavors aren’t sold in the US. Here’s why

    I was ready for a feel good read, just to pass the time. Then NESTLE popped up, God they suck. So much for trying new kitkats, no skin off my back.

    sizzler, in The Colossal Capterpillar 797 Haul Truck

    These are the types of tyres, that when they blow have inch thick steel cable in the side walls that could decapitate three men in a go. Ask me how I know…

    Someguy89,

    How do you know?

    snooggums,
    @snooggums@kbin.social avatar

    They we're decapitated, obviously.

    sizzler,

    Didn’t find them til they didn’t report in for lunch…

    can,

    I’m so sorry
