No. They actually do that? Kudos to the Japanese! I guess it's a good thing when you take pride in your profession and country.

One day I stumbled upon a claw machine in the mall that 9999 credits on it. Let my daughters play for a while and win a few stuffed animals.
I'm assuming a technician was testing it out and forgot to put it back on normal mode. It only made a good grab about every 15 tries.

Damn yall must be noobs. I win those things all the time, sometimes multiple times on a single machine. Some are unwinnable, but others...
... are. You just need to know how to spot the ones that are lost causes, and the ones that are rigged, so you know if you can try later.

Beat a couple as a kid an they didn't, but you can program the machine to only let people win only after a certain amount of tries
i don't think so i guess on some but i've seen some people punch through the glass on the internet with no alarms.
Only if you mean beat in the literal.

portraitsforfriends
Someone gave me a truck full of these for a patio I wanted to build. This is much easier. Nobody would be able to lift ALL of those in a day
IAmTheRealTurinTurambar
Wah? I delivered for a home improvement company and did jobs like this daily. That was when I was 18 tho, it would kill me now.
I’m smol. 5’5 125lbs
I was thinking this too, but I expect it's just an exhibition.
wiezzenger
There's a few other pallets beside where they placed the one in the gif, I think it's an actual job site
LilSaint001
Heavy machinery convention/event do have the same stuff as a video game convention/event. They can try new equipment.
LtMuffintoes
If you have the machine onsite anyway, time is money and the liability is also much smaller. Fingers and toes are easily crushed.
ThrowMamaFromTheTrain
Fingers and toes dont get crushed by 15 lb blocks.
LinesOfCokeWithSnowman
fingers and toes dont get crushed at all when you know how to work safely with correct PPE
keykilla
as large as those are, I'd bet they weigh at least 30-40 lbs
SergeantTerryJeffords
As a menards yard worker who deals with large blocks often, I'd say probably 40-50 lbs
time is money, so get somebody/s to stack them in a fraction of the time for a fraction of the cost.
jokerlives
Nah those are heavy than they look. If you want a long career, you save your back whenever you can.
unfortunately we live in the real world and that's not how it works here
Apparently it does work like that. Since the guy is using a machine and not doing it by hand like you want.
latibule
Conceivably one person and this machine did this demo work, stacked and palletized the blocks and cleaned up the site. No injuries.
Un/semi skilled labor comes and goes, gets injured, and has to be replaced and/or retrained and needs more supervision.
Skilled, well paid employees stay. This might even be a small business which otherwise wouldn't have the flexibility to take bigger jobs.
I'd like to see you stack 8 of those pallets in the time it took this operator to. I'd be impressed if you took as little as twice the time.
with two guys, it could be done in half the time.but you're assuming there's only one person on this site. or that i'm as weak as you.
And DO YOU KNOW HOW MUCH I DEADLIFT? HUH?!
I don't think even 4 guys will lift that pallet.
Now you're paying two guys and have twice as many fingers to smash. Also this machine can work just fine in rain, high heat and cold.

Peynus
Right-oh! Off you go. Don't complain when you permanently fuck up your back. It IS your job to suffer for some construction site...
Mate i was a concrete labourer for a couple of years. Tree planter on river banks and now a gardener, landscaper. I know manual labour
you're dumb. this job is literally what labourers are for, if you cant lift that stuff properly you shouldn't be on the site
drmuelr
Using manual labor simply because it's available instead of equally-capable machinery is profoundly backwards.
Thats the argument though. Unless we redefine our work weeks and change wages automation will keep stripping jobs.
this job is literally what labourers are for, if you cant lift that stuff properly you shouldn't be on the site
No reputable company will allow workers to risk injury lifting above a certain weight. The days of backbreaking labor are over.
bobtheaxolotl
Paying one guy to operate a machine vs. paying a whole crew to break their backs all day. Machine costs less, and doesn't sue when injured.
But we need to look at the future of jobs and work as machinery continues to take away human jobs.
We do. At some point, we're going to have to decide, as a society, that not everyone needs to "earn a living".
DaDisser
Or do it with the machine.
Great. It still costs more.
weaselodoom
As someone in the construction field, this is too expensive, and time consuming. Better to have a couple groundmen stack the blocks
Than monopolies the machine for even longer
Asadsadsadclown
And use a shit ton of fuel
One dude to operate the machine or 2 guys to risk injury lifting heavy slabs. When they get tired, another 2 guys to take over, etc.
Those slabs way 30 lbs max, if dudes get tired lifting that, they're in the wrong field...
Jesus, you've clearly never worked a day in your life.
This macho man act is exactly what gets people hurt. They don't want it anymore. Work smarter, not harder, go home in one piece.
Repeated lifting will wear out anyone. If you want a long career and a healthy body, you don't do a job that a machine can do safer.
That's assuming the machinery was needed for something else simultaneously.
KiloElectronVolt
The fuel and the operator likely cost more than 2 laborers. Workmans comp is a bitch, though.
Either fuel is insanely expensive where you live, or humans are incredibly cheap.
The issue is risk of injury and use of manpower. Why waste +2 dudes on a job 1 guy can do with a machine. The 2 guys can be used elsewhere.
