Based on the top two “photos”, they must have just got done typing “generate” a few times, so I guess I can see how the error might have occurred.
Trainguyrom@reddthat.com 23 hours ago
Elsewhere in the thread someone shared one of the originals where text that’s mucked up in the above meme is clear as day. The crazy artifacting must come from some bizarre compression or automated touchup by an editing software. Maybe automated upscaling?

A lot of times bad spelling and grammar are both engagement bait ploys. People can’t resist clicking to make comments about it.

I think they spelled “genera” correctly, but there’s no reason to use the plural here
TheOakTree@lemm.ee 19 hours ago
I thought they meant to use “genre”, which makes more sense because who calls a type of meme a “genus?”

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.
grue@lemmy.world 1 day ago
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.

I worked at home depot, and our manager made people sign a form before having a Hi-Lo load a pallet of floor tile into their truck because it would cause their suspension to bottom out. They’d do it, and drive off with zero leeway on their shocks.
We had one guy come in bragging about how his super-expensive hydraulic suspension could handle it. We loaded 2 pallets of tile into his truck bed. I bet he felt every little crack in the road driving to the job site.
Fosheze@lemmy.world 1 day ago
You do feel every little bump and odds are your suspension will never be the same afterwords. But that’s why you do it with beater trucks and not anything you actually care about. My dad did the same thing except with landscaping blocks in an old salt truck he picked up for like $200. You can’t break a suspension that’s already broke.
Or that’s the theory anyways. In reality he wound up blowing the same rear tire 3 times on the trip home. Four times if you count the tire blowing again after the truck was parked. We kept having to pull over, dismount the tire, take it home, mount another used tire on the rim, take it back to the truck, and put it back on, and go until it blew again. Every time we had to do that I reminded him that I had told him before hand that he should bring the trailer.

dharmacurious@slrpnk.net 1 day ago
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.
ResoluteCatnap@lemmy.ml 1 day ago
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

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

Rented the biggest truck the 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.

Genre.
deadbeef79000@lemmy.nz 1 day ago
Plural of genre. Still should have been singular “ganre” though, unless there are multiple genera of these images.
Ethalis@jlai.lu 1 day ago
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

I personally don’t know if they are real or not (they certainly don’t seem like it SHOULD be real). But maybe the text artifacts on the license plates and signs in the original post are just sponge tooled/liquefied to censor out businesses or a random person’s car identifier.

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.

That is not limited to Home Depot. I once saw two ladies trying to fit three trollys full with an IKEA bedroom (bed, frame, mattresses, and a stack of PAX wardrobes, plus a heap of smaller items) into a compact car. A very compact car…

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.

I bought a table saw during COVID. They only allowed pickup in the parking lot. You couldn’t rent vehicles because we were on lockdown. I had no choice but to pick it up with my Jetta.
People were laughing their asses off at me unpacking it and barely fitting it in the trunk. Styrofoam was going everywhere as I broke it. Had to throw all the packing material into a dumpster.
So embarrassing.

I bought a locker a while back, like the kind you would find in the employee room of a closing bed bath and beyond. It didn’t quite fit as expected so we ended up just tying the back hatch as closed as it could with a single rope and took back roads the whole way home. I don’t think we went above 20mph for fear of the damage this giant steel box would cause if it fell out. Also got a tetanus shot the next day because I managed to rip my hand on its rusted foot. Good times, I love that locker

gnu@lemmy.zip 1 day ago
As in plasterboard sheets? I don’t see why not if hand loading, plenty of vans will fit a 2400x1200 sheet (my Transporter fitted a bunch of plywood with room to spare). Loading one with a forklift is harder due to no side access long enough to fit 2400mm but that’s a problem shared with tub back utes. If however your plasterboard pallet is side accessible a van with barn doors (like you’d buy if pallets were a priority) will allow you load it in fine.
jj4211@lemmy.world 1 day ago
What van are you thinking? Work vans do this all the time.
Ilovethebomb@lemm.ee 17 hours ago
Most commercial vans are slightly over 2.4m long in the cargo area, which is the size of a standard sheet of wallboard. (1.2x2.4m).
Mine will fit that comfortably.

My wife’s mum was helping me move everything from a two-bedroom unit, in a Toyota Yaris hatchback. Completely filled the car with stuff. It took maybe six or seven trips back and forth, but we got it done eventually.
This was before I had a drivers license or much money, so I couldn’t just rent a truck, nor could I afford to pay a mover.

Track_Shovel@slrpnk.net 1 day ago
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!
abbadon420@lemm.ee 1 day ago
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.

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.
ForensicFart@lemmy.world 1 day ago
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?
