I'm a way, that's true of everything that doesn't kill you. For example, reading this comment has left your mind ever so slightly altered, but you are otherwise unharmed.
What have you DONE?
Well, they warned you they're a way
It's just not as funny with that design, they're tacky as fuck too.
I looked around some more and found this, a t-shirt version.
I also found the original sticker, I think.
Unfortunately, teepublic does not sell thongs, booty shorts, or boxer briefs, all could really use this image/slogan on them.
On a lathe? Doesn't make sense. Maybe on a crucible or dewar or something...
Man, a lathe will fuck you up if things go awry.
Sometimes I throw the chuck just to feel something.
I've had several thousand deducted from my pay to fix the ceiling.
Employee breaks something: loses money equal to the damage
Employee makes something: gains money far below profits
It's amazing how easily capitalists understand the value you bring to the company... only when it's negative.
You saw that one too?
I'm really nervous around them these days that's for sure
Took a machining class, could barely drill a 3/16"(I think?) at 2000rpm cause that video scared me so much
Mind sharing the video?
I lathe in my underwear only since watching that video.
Seems like you should keep the lathe out of your underwear, TBH.
I'm like a Ken doll.
Make sure it's leather as well
I doubt the part of the statement before the "but," not the part after it.
Oh definitely. However the warning joke appears to imply that even attempting to use it will alter you in some comic supervillain sense or something.
I am a career machinist. I have witnessed a lathe accident so bad that everyone was sent home for a month. Don't wear gloves when operating a lathe.
I am not a career machinist -- but I have a tiny manual 10" lathe and I'm terrified of it.
I got a 5 inch cordless bandsaw recently. It's fucking gnarly. Yes I'm scared of it and I should be. By the way if you ever need a body disassembled...
Seriously though even little stuff can fuck you up. My friend was using my 20v hammer drill to put a hole in a wall in a tight spot and it caught something and spun. He got knocked in the chin by the belt clip. He couldn't eat normally for a month.
Saw a pic once. Learned my lesson the easy way.
"Juiced" is a state.
This on my 2025 calendar.
