There is some innocence and optimism regarding the Internet.

That meme is a quarter century old (older if you count it’s actual source instead of the video that made it popular)

Am forklift driver. Can confirm this is how you reach the top shelves.

I’m up here on a scissor lift. I get real high and my shit is janky and steers like a whale. Actually we’ll all get out manoeuvred when the whales come, but I’ll be up there, clinging to a mast. Well, anti-gravity forklifts might pose some threat to one clinging to an anomalous ship mast in a warehouse BUT! I have your clipboards!

How do you actually grab something off the shelves, if both lifts are keeping the other up?

You’re supposed to put a third forklift (using a fourth forklift) on top of the first two

That’s pretty much how a Klang drive works in Space Engineers.

I’m not ashamed to admit I thought about it and even thought it would work, as a kid
I even dreamt about it (I was obsessed with flying)

What’s messing me up is that I can’t figure out what actually would happen. I know the answer isn’t flight, but I’m not sure what to imagine instead.

It depends, but must of these lifts aren’t rated to lift themselves, so they would groan and make noise, but not go anywhere.

Same thing that would happen if you tried to lift your friend while they tried to lift you.
Or, to remove the layer of indirection: grab your own feet and lift up. Same thing as that.

A good year. Well, better than 2026.

This works in some physics engines. Might be a game guide.

Space Engineers, for one. Janky-ass physics engine.

I mean, more like elevator.
Oh! Unless, they’re using the wheels to move back and forth and steer? That would make sense.

Wow, a powered machine consuming energy can achieve flight?
This changes everything!
