this was about 30 years ago in the US. Back in the 2008 recession the factory closed down and moved to Mexico.
The owner was a typical “nice guy” corpo douchebag. you know the type, nice to your face but profits over people.
I gained a lot of experience from that job that I still use to this day.
🤣
no.
the best ppe we got was cotton uniforms so when the metal sprayed out (which happened daily) would burn and not melt to our skin.
we also got some pretty nice gloves too for grabbing the parts out of the machines. usually they’d come out around 700° and have to go on cooling racks.
your brain every time.
yeah. the factory was doing diecast parts at 1400° and the shortening was a mould release so the parts would pop out of the dies.
the pressure that those machines push in molten metal plus the high temperature would vaporize the shortening and with 3-12 tons of pressure aerosolize it.
Even after 5 years there I had a bit of a cough, but nothing as bad as the old guys that had been around for 30+ years.
you’d think that, but you’d be wrong.
ever hear of popcorn lung? yeah, working there, all the old timers had it. I had only worked there for about 5 years but the smell got into everything.
oui! oui! ze rally liek zare franch fine art!
HON! HON! HON!
I’ve smelled rotting human remains. I doubt it smells worse than a bloated cadaver in the summer heat.
different strokes and all that. I’ve never thought that.
then again I worked in a factory that used shortening as a mould release for years. that shit stinks and gets scummy after a few months. Imagine what it smells like after a few decades.
I used to have the same problem with those Starbucks frape drinks in the glass bottles when I was younger.
I can’t drink caffeine anymore but eventually the effects had the intended result.
man…I miss caffeine…
the results may shock you.
it’s not so much what it is, but what uses it.
late transistor radios required small high powered batteries. according to Wikipedia 22.5v batteries were popular in early transistor radios.
these 9 volt batteries were popular in powering these late transistor radios, the transistors specifically. hence the name.
uh sorry, it’s called the blue planet.
the rightful ruler is Tobias Funke
nothing feels better than a fresh tube of lube.
feed your cat lithium grease and watch them become a 9 volt battery.
it’s a shitpost. so, no.
