They will rent you a fucking truck, it isn’t that expensive either.
Like $20 for the first 90 minutes. Makes it very affordable to not own a truck for the few times a year you might need to haul something home
Rented the biggest truck they had at home Depot.
American trucks are so shit that it still wouldn’t fit the small length of lino I had cut for my bunny room.
Shoulda just tied it to my little car and saved the 70 bucks.
The store nearest me will deliver whatever you want for a $30 flat rate. I have a minivan so I can still carry a lot of stuff myself but for that price it lets me avoid messing with removing my seats so it’s worth it
in my experience, it’s better to fuck in a van.
Really it depends. Truck fucking can be way more fun, if you can find somewhere to bend over the tailgate while getting railed. It’s really quite exhilarating. But if you’re in the cab, van is definitely better.
Omg this was me when my dad and brother told me they’d strapped down studs in the back of my dad’s escort wagon. After taking the first turn I discovered that was a lie

In genera, i think this is a pretty good comment.
I really hope AI continues to have noticable failures. I have my doubts, but one can hope.
And this one makes absolutely no sense because a single search gives you hundreds of these pictures. It took more effort to generate these than to find them.
I don’t actually think a single of these photos are AI generated which is insane.

I’m leaning towards real, there’s signs in the background that have coherent text on them, instead of weird, unintelligible, almost-letters.
I’m leaning real too, the one where the guy destroyed his truck bed by ratchet strapping whatever that is to his wheel well is literally in the HD parking lot and that’s exactly what would happen if someone was stupid enough to try it. But the first one with the “Mazda” logo in the background, that one looks fake as hell, so I’m torn lol.
I was in college and needed to fix my apartment. I didn’t own a car and took the bus to Lowe’s. I called my buddy who had a car.
I’m in this picture.
I’m glad you made it ok! This one looks really dangerous for the people.
Once again the minivan heavy portfolio pays.
*The damage to the drywall was like that from the store it was 75% off and being used to make some patches and fill a small renovation.
Not only did I haul drywall home in a minivan, I even had the foresight to buy a couple of 2x4s to act as rails to slide it on so the edges wouldn’t get chewed up by the rounded rear hatch opening.
Have a camper minivan, and have on a number of occasions pulled the cushions out to haul.
Go to the Netherlands and see the same thing, but with bikes. I once brought back a 1,5 meter long wooden pannel under my arm. I didn’t anticipate the wind, which started to push me out of the road.
Believe me, those folks with the small cars had a plan. They just got carried away. Always amazed at what I can get into my Yaris with a little creative thinking.
We got the 12 ft skeleton into my wife’s Honda Fit. I mean, the box wouldn’t fit so the employees helped us load every single piece in, but we got it all in!
I loaded a deck joist into my Scion tC when I realized one of mine was rotten (while replacing the boards). I put it through the sunroof into the “trunk” (it’s a hatchback) and drove home like a majestic blue unicorn. It was beautiful.
Got home and my neighbor said, “You could’ve asked!” while gesturing to his pickup truck.
I said, “I wanted to see if it would work!”
I got carried away with a 2004 Chevy Cavalier coupe at Ikea like 15 years ago. I bought a bedframe, nightstand, dresser, and a couple cheap wood chairs.
And then I saw a small cheap couch and decided to grab it impulsively on my way to checkout like it was a pack of gum or something.
I got everything except the couch to just barely barely fit, and I started looking at that huge box for the couch and thought “have I lost my mind” and had to go back in and return it right then and there
/r/miatalogistics
I’ve carried various 6-10’ pipes and poles sticking out the passenger seat of my Miata. Infinite vertical space! lol
I didn’t see anyone link to the original!
The sleeping face tied up in twine is iconic

Bonus: while the cursed, multi-directional-wheeled carts roll out from under them.
I prefer stuck mining equipment tbh
The guy with a truck had a concept of a plan
I keep looking at it wondering … Why? The others are common. The truck, however took a little special reasoning.
Underestimating the bed rail loading. I’d love to make a Ford joke, but let’s be real, all truck beds would crumple like that.
Because it’s photoshopped. Look at the strap going into the wheel well. Ignoring that it appears to stop before the edge, where is that going? Why is the car behind the wood stretched and blurred into it? Why is the side of the wood facing the camera in complete shadow unlike anything else in frame?It’s reall just a very crunchy image. See elsewhere in thread for the better image of the truck
The truck one is one of the only ones that I know is real cause I have seen that photo before.
Don’t know what level of compression they went through to make the photo look like that but it didn’t always.
You’re right, I see that now from _bcron’s better image. Danke
You all laugh, but one time I was young, dumb, and just did what people told me to do.
In this regard, I found myself pulling a grain auger on a much-too-small flat deck trailer. The trailer was maybe 10ft long by 6 ft wide, so we put one wheel of the grain auger on the deck, and one on the external tail light of the trailer which was relatively sturdy. ‘are you sure this is a good idea?’ ‘fuck it, she’ll go. Just go slow’
So I start driving. No immediate problems. Turns out that going down a major, winding hill at the 100 km posted speed limit is not a good idea with an awkward load. It’s also a pretty interesting time to figure out that if you brake, you make the trailer sway worse. Hmm so speed up it is! Started at the top of the hill at about 90 km/hr and came out for it at about 120 km/hr. Lol.
And that’s just one of the times I shoulda died! Whee.
This is also why I mentor the fuck out of any junior I work with. too many stories like this.
I’ve also got a story of other people saying “it’ll be fine” while I should have been thinking for myself.
I used to be a garbage truck driver. I was sent to pick up a bin at some fishing club. It was at the end of a dead end road. I drove my truck to the end hoping there would be enough room to turn the truck around. Of course there wasn’t. That’s when I should’ve just decided to back out, but I didn’t. I asked the members of that club if the garbage truck usually turns around or backs out. They said “sure you can turn it on the grass, they do that all the time”.
So I started turning, one small moment later, I was stuck in the grass. My back wheels just kept slipping and digging in deeper. I putting gravel and wooden boards under the wheels, but nothing really worked. In the end we got like 6 of the fingers to push the truck (10.000+kg) out of the grass… and they fucking did it! It took a little back and forth, but we managed to get the truck out with teamwork.
It was a pretty stupid decision of mine, but I learned from it. It was 10 years ago, but I still remember it well,because it was just and awesome experience of teamwork and humanity.
6 of the fingers
I don’t get that term in this context. What’s a “finger” here?
Fish finger?
autocorrect of fisher I assume.
Yes, I have a new phone and the autocorrect is the worst. I’m trying my best to tame it, but it just sucks
Genera?
it’s very much ai,
generation?Have, you lost Ted?
Genre.
Pretty sure that’s Italian for genre. Or a weird typo/autocorrect error/both 😁
deleted by creator
nope. it’s the plural.
The plural of genre is genres. The singular of genera is genus… Which might make sense here, but not as a plural.
Nope. Its genera in this context because they are discussing it as species.
They are pluralizing genus. Its a reference to it being a new “species” of image.
Your assumption of the word they are pluralizing was wrong.
Still wrong because they are refering to an individual “species” of image, so it would be genus not genera.
`Plural of genre. Still should have been singular “genre” though, unless there are multiple genera of these images.I was thinking of “genus”.
Yeah…no it isn’t.
I think the word genre comes directly from the french word (“genre”, meaning “type”), which in the plural form is “genres”. I don’t think “genera” means anything, it’s probably a typo
They apparently couldn’t be bothered to to type out
Generated?
“Genera” is a plural form of “genus” (i.e. also “type,” but in the fancy scientific sense used in taxonomy).
Derp, that’s what I was thinking of.
Wow, a biblically accurate Honda accord
Bunnings shopper: “Finally! A worthy opponent! OUR BATTLE WILL BE LEGENDARY!”
Imagine buying truck just for this moment and then screwed up the loading part.
Best part is, there’s a hitch on the back, so buddy has used it with a trailer, just not this time when it would have been the ideal solution
i have sn 8ft long trailer with a 4 ft long tailgate that csn extend the 8ft to 12ft yet i still had some 12ft long corrugate roof panels delivered by the store as they have s forklift to unload with
