I’ve spent 25 years in print finishing and I’m so grateful for every piece of equipment I’m accustomed to that these folks do not have.

it's the paper folding guy that got to me. Just brutal.

But having a guy send each sheet into the printing press because it did not have a feeder... I did not know this world had printing presses without an automatic feeder.

Vacuum is your friend

u/Questioning-Zyxxel 8d ago

Yes. For lower volumes, a rubber roller or similar solves the issue similar to computer printers. And for high-volume or big/heavy sheets, vacuum can keep delivering with very little maintenance.

A tiny amount of work to solve and then it more or less just works. Without a full time employee.

They’ve found their consultant!

Ah, Mr. Stahl!

I feel like this is what happens when the labor costs are cheaper than buying proper equipment.

u/Mr_Jack_Frost_ 6d ago

I think you’re exactly correct, unfortunately. They have machinery for what cannot be done by hand (at least not efficiently) and the rest is left for a human being who is trying to provide for themselves and likely their family. It makes me sad seeing this kind of video, along with feelings of gratitude for my lot in life, and the heavy contemplation of what life could be like for me had I not been born when and where I was.

And safety guards. I saw exactly zero safety features.

I have to admit I couldn't focus because all I was thinking was how sore my bum would be sitting on a concrete floor like that.

u/Synaesthete 8d ago

I locked myself out of my apartment last weekend. It took about 4 hours for help to arrive, during which time I mostly sat on the the concrete stairs outside my apartment building. Literally woke up the next morning with an aching posterior from sitting on those steps. I cannot imagine doing that every day for hours on end like some of these folks >_<

u/inform880 8d ago

In what world is a 2.5 minute video long?

u/earlgreybubbletea 8d ago

I think they meant compared to the 30s clip that tends to get reposted.

u/quasimodoca 8d ago

Same for when I see a post that has at the top "sorry it's so long" and it's like 4-500 words.

In this world. Most attention spans are 20 secs.

My dopamine receptors, they can’t handle this medium of story telling /s

What was going on with the lump in the middle of that dudes forehead?

11

u/The-Gentleman-Devil 8d ago

Some kind of cyst is my guess, but I’m not a medical professional.

u/henriuspuddle 8d ago

Medical amateur ain't bad

u/kingoptimo1 8d ago

It's not a tuma!

u/CanyWagons 8d ago

Probably a little lipoma

1

u/Adultyness 5d ago

More than likely a lipoma- i have some growing on my legs Usually characterized as being tighter to the bone and muscle (for golf ball sized and below) where as tumors and cysts tend to be looser

Source: regurgitated information from my GP appointment I just had to make sure I don't have melanoma with my leg lumps

Okay I’m not an economist, or a moral philosopher, and I don’t know how to feel about this. Is it okay for people to spend their lives this way, doing such repetitive and boring work, to put food on the table? Or would it be better to make them jobless by automating the process?

Spacely space sprockets. I apologize folks, but you have to be at least 35 or more to get the reference.

u/Fresno_Bob_ 8d ago

Jetsons was revived in the late 80s (TV) early 90s (animated movie), and a live action one coming out next year.

u/Cognonymous 7d ago

factory work is so fucking monotonous, it's a terrible way to spend 40 hours per week

3

u/MaxUumen 5d ago

That's why they spend 80 hours minimum.

u/Significant-Prize984 7d ago

The longer the video, the better. These kinds of videos make me so relaxed

Thank god for OSHA and other equivalents.

I love when people post; this is how (fill in the blank) is made. Not in first world countries my friend. The United States will be back to this soon enough though.

It is strange to look at the video showing manual and not automated process(used machines are not interconnected and require manual operation), that end with showing notebooks with cover art generated by AI.

u/Significant-Prize984 7d ago

Kinda sucks that they used AI for the covers :(
