The trash bin eats people!
There's a warning sign no climbing into it on the bin. They ignore it. He is lucky he escaped with a dislocated shoulder and minor bleeding.

The bin will empty itself and this is how it looks below
This gif is not related to the rescue of the kid. Just to show that in order to get him out, someone needs to lift the bin up showed here.

@OP: these are pretty common in the EU, although only some are compactors. Most are just large bins, and some are pneumatic :D
Alighierian
we have similar systems in the netherlands, but every single one I saw doesn't exactly allow for people to enter in such a retarded manner
willieg
Actually, it appears there IS a warning - the red graphic under the lid. Red means don't - at least in my part of the world.
Feanor19
I think it's more or less universal but sometimes people don't read first. Like that time I stopped reading at contact solution, ignored
Feanor19
The red tip and put a contact back in before the acid neutralized in 6 hours. I was screaming in ~1sec. Couldn't open my eye to take it out
Feanor19
After 20 min of rolling around in the hallway I finally got it out. Apparently it's a good cleaner if you follow the instructions. I didn't

You realize, EU is not a country and that's not even in a country which belongs to the EU. Switzerland, Zurich.
Imostlyreactwithimages
To be fair, those type of trash bins also exist in the EU, some bigger towns in Germany recently installed similar ones.

Like saying USA when you mean Brazil. I mean they have guns in Brazil, too. Same thing, right?

he means the European union... countries part of the EU share many things.

Switzerland is not part of the EU, still. Same as Brazil not beeing part of the United States of America, despite beeing in America.

In Finland the deep dumpsters are called Molok, which I think is a perfectly good name for a child eating earthworm monster

Moloch? I guess that explains the child sacrifice. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Moloch

That isn't the US. We all have insurance that covers that, "free" healthcare and reduced pay sick leave from work.
kittybuttwiggle
Not everywhere works like the U.S. where all safety measures are just lawsuit shields.
eggmuffin
Or, and this might be a shocking concept to you, engineers are people and are as such aware of the need for basic safety precautions.
ChampionCynthia
Yep. I love it how everyone goes "to avoid lawsuits". Well guess what, not every system is just as safe as it needs to be to avoid lawsuits.
ChampionCynthia
Sometimes it's called "common sense" not to risk workers/bystanders lifes regardeless of lawsuits.

Not lawsuit, but basic job safety for the workers. Elevators could use these in the US. Source: guys fall down shafts and die still

Thats how the Swiss folks sort out the dumb kids. You see, the country is rather tiny, so they don't want to waste the space on morons.

why cant we do this in the uk
strangledbyaturtleneck
We need some of these in the US. Just add a trash compactor piece to the bottom so you're not having to empty them all the time.

Why should there be? Common sense people don't get into trash bins. And there's also warning signs. 'Nuff done. Enjoy the show.

Yeah, like warning signs not to climb in the bins.

In a perfect world, even the signs wouldn't be needed. People are friggin' idiots.

It's called natural selection.

I'd be interested to find out the statistics on how many bodies are found in trash cans like this.

Homeless people shelter in rubbish bins all the time... the bigger kind, like behind restaurants etc. Many ppl killed being crushed in truck

It's apparently a good practice to peek in a paper thrash to check for homeless people

paper thrash?

I'm not sure on the proper word for them, but the bins for magazines/papers and so on
IamaWalrusInDisguise
Recycling bin? Or those ones where it shreds it? In that case it'd just be called a shredder.
shorr
Holy comment necro. Recycling bin indeed, we just call them paper trash bins. Or paper collection.
forelle
To be honest, this is what happens when you're lucky. There are also bins which compress the garbage (altohough I dunno how strong they are)
HighrockTendales
I would doubt that. There are too many safety concerns surely?
forelle
Now as I think of it: the opening is always very small. So dunno where the actual compression is going on.
biebiep
If the bet is between your weak-ass neck and an industrial size trash compactor, I know what I'm betting on.

Europe was a collection of countries in the continent of Europe when I was a kid. Looks like it means countries controlled by Brussels now.

It is, it is just not a part of it

Well, here in Spain we use the same model for trash bins

And they smell soooo bad
Stenledsen
EU can also be Short for Europe, as the "European Union" is not a "place" , Switzerland is a part of Europe.
Vikingess
EU is in no way short for Europe. And indeed, the term 'within the European Union' sets an outer perimeter of an area.
Stenledsen
'within the European Union' states that the country is a part of the union, it can still be a part of the continent.
woopwooppulloverdatasstoofat
"the EU" -> the Europe?

No, but OP is clearly uneducated and thought EU was short for Europe.

Are you referring to yourself, who just said that EU was short for Europe?

What would the Short for Europe be? EP?
MrZuan
In sweden we have a "central system" so all bins are conected and suck all the trash in a area to one place with vaccum.
eastridingbandit
That is awesome! Unfortunately a lot of people in England think the whole place is a bin so drop it where they want.

This is England... The whole place may as well be

As another Swede, I can confirm. We are the Jetsons.

to be fair a lot of people use "eu" as kind of a synonym for europe..
spottedsalamander
Yes, we use it as a form of abbreviation.
PMmeForWackyTicTacs
thats perfectly fine, but "the eu" wouldnt make any sense unless you're talking about the european union
NE0Green
To be fair, in Europa America mostly means the u.s. of a. Especial "American". No one thinks of Canada, Peru or Chile.
ArthurHastings
very true. its kind of a similar thing. In most context, when someone says american we correctly can deduce who they mean. same thing here.
thistlejuice
Well, unfortunately it isn't. EU is the European Union. Europe is a continent.
ItsUncleSam
People say NA or SA for North America and South America, just like Europe is abbreviated EU.
ArthurHastings
I know. I live here. Just saying a lot of people mean europe when they say EU.
thistlejuice
So do I. Never heard it before. It's just not the same thing.
ArthurHastings
Well, today you learnt something new. Congratulations.
SigynRose
But it's part of the thing that says open boarders right? And isn't it part of the 'economic area' or whatever that means? I only American
nosaucesbutapplesauces
I only American also. We should still know these things.
SigynRose
Damn what a typo I made. I meant to say I'm only American. I was gonna say 'I'm only American don't hurt me' but I ran out of room
nosaucesbutapplesauces
I know what you mean... the character constraints drive me crazy sometimes!
nosaucesbutapplesauces
Ish. There are 28 member states of the EU. 22 of them opted into Shengenland. 4 non-EU members entered into the agreement separately.
SigynRose
And Norway is one of the countries who's not part of schengen but is part of the economic area right? I don't remember the others
nosaucesbutapplesauces
(the other "zone" is the European Free Trade Association, comprised of 4 members: Iceland, Liechtenstein, Norway, and Switzerland)
nosaucesbutapplesauces
Switzerland didn't sign into the Shengen Ag't.
nosaucesbutapplesauces
Norway is technically in it, but the ag't allows them to sometimes impose stricter borders, which they implemented after the Paris bombing
nosaucesbutapplesauces
(so like, one city in Norway still needs a passport to get into. The rest of it is free travel)

Is the schengen zone the thing that says open boarders?
BeerTaxer
Yup
HeinrichHiTheSSGuy
Yes. +fun fact: even tough switzerland is not in the EU they pay billions every year to the EU so they can also use schengen and free trade
Bystandr
If they pay billions for the privilege , then its not really free trade , is it ? lol
HeinrichHiTheSSGuy
Well not free of course. But still more profitable than without paying it. The swiss are not stupid, especially when it comes to money ;)
