There's so many great things about this: the text, the fact that the snapping also has a hard hat on, and the arrow that indicates which way you're supposed to look.

yet it doesn’t explain how to get the helmet onto the turtle...

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago

Or not to hold it with your fingers well within snapping distance 😄

The turtle isn’t allowed on the worksite without certification on donning procedures and a fit test within the past year. Supervisor must examine all documents and seals carefully before entry as, again, the turtle cannot be trusted.

Hatching with a shell is no excuse for neglect of PPE. Disregard for worksite safety guidelines fosters a cult of toxic masculinity that leads to workplace injury.

No high vis though

Fun fact! This is a terrible way to hold a snapping turtle. Their necks are quite long and can reach behind their front legs. If you ever do have to hold a turtle, hold them as far back as possible and pray you can keep it balanced.

Also watch out for piss

Source: it wasn't a snapping turtle but a turtle pissed on me repeatedly whilst relocating it, I was genuinely shocked by the sheer volume of piss that it managed to unleash in total

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

Dang that was my immediate reaction too!

Ever tried moving an alligator snapper? It's quite the adrenaline pump...

My ass boutta use the biggest pair of fucking tongs known to mankind just to hold the Snapping Turtle

[–] [email protected] 7 points 1 year ago

His hands are way too close to the turtles head. They can REACH.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 year ago

This sounds like an SCP entry

[–] HeyThisIsntTheYMCA 6 points 1 year ago

Turtle seems alright he's coming over for dinner tonight.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Is this real? I so dearly want this to be real.

It’s at least plausible. Have you seen the shitpost chops of the US Consumer Product Safety Commission?
