I’ll be that guy - that’s an excavator, a CAT 320C, non-factory livery.

non-factory livery.
You sure? 🤔

I can’t be 100%
CAT typically doesn’t paint the track and rollers

Caterpillar have been profitting from israel's genocide of the palestinian people for decades.
When a palestinian throws a rock at a soldier occupying their land and israel responds by bulldozing the entire family's homes in direct violation of the geneva convention, they use caterpillar equipment.
When you're engineering genocide, think caterpillar.

Worth mentioning that Caterpillar is fully aware how their machines will be used and still has no problem selling stuff to Israel.

… How dare you soil the good name of killdozer by posting an excavator…
May the billdozer make your wife feel uncomfortable.

Eh, the killdozer guy was a dickhead

Yeah if you look into his grievances, he was a crazy asshole. No solidarity there. But the engineering? Nope. But the sheer insanity of it all, yes my brother

The personal notes on wiki state he was pretty decent and would “bend over backwards for anyone,” the subsequent disputes don’t seem overly dickish (aside from his passion for the legalization of gambling, but still not dickish, if anything applaudable for wanting to pay taxes instead of just going underground) compared to what a normal childless person in the 90s might do in their town. Do you have other source on the matter?
I don’t care either way but your commentade me want to at least wiki the guy.

A guy did this in China like 6 months ago lol. He went to the CCP with all this paperwork showing how he want getting paid. They told him to eff off basically, so he hopped in a bulldozer and tried running everyone over.

CopyCAT

Not a copycat of the killdozer if you didn’t go nuts with your welding and mechanical skills. That guy didn’t succeed, don’t do that. But it made for some interesting commentary.

What about MD and LG datacenters?
iknewitwhenisawit@fedinsfw.app 1 month ago
Why write SM instead of SOME though? 🤔
huppakee@lemmy.world 1 month ago
Same reason they wrote dataceter instead of datacenter perhaps.

Killdozer will never happen again. Nobody these days possesses the welding skill, the insanity, the focus, or the sheer willpower to spend hours tearing things up with their homemade death machine. Even if someone studied where the original guy went wrong, and worked to improve it, it still wouldn’t work. Even if, say, 10 of them rolled out of the Evil Villain Hideout Hut simultaneously. The United States is just too cowed under Trump for there to be any real instances of spectacularly interesting, destruction-oriented protests against stuff.

I wonder, would it be possible to armour a construction vehicle in a way that police can’t stop you?

I’m just gonna say it most heavy equipment still have factory cut default keys you can buy on Amazon for less than $30 which gets you every key from cat skid steers to those giant yellow construction tower cranes.
MML@sh.itjust.works 1 month ago
It was Kubota but some idiot at my work threw away a couple keys when we got new equipment… I’m sure they don’t cost that much but…
AzuraTheSpellkissed@lemmy.blahaj.zone 1 month ago
If you can’t be stopped, they can just sit by and wait until your fuel runs out. Maybe going electric helps somehow.
ZkhqrD5o@lemmy.world 1 month ago
Yes, but you only need it to work for accomplishing your goal, i.e. driving through multiple rows of the rack hall of your target.

This makes me remember a guy I was lucky enough to meet who had killed 2 people who had Hello Kitty tattooed on one of his cheeks and a swastika on the other. Somehow this seems like the sort of thing he’d enjoy.

Meanwhile, CAT literally exports armored bulldozers for genocide: IDF Caterpillar D9
Gladaed@feddit.org 1 month ago
Are armored bulldozers only used by Israel or a common use case?
SubArcticTundra@lemmy.ml 1 month ago
Not only armoured — going by the picture, also armed
huppakee@lemmy.world 1 month ago
Afaik armies use bulldozers all the time. But not while engaging the enemy. Israel uses theirs mainly to level homes and other civilian structures, which is why theirs trigger a reaction that warrants the added protection. Not a definite answer to your question, but i don’t know of any army that does that. Kind reminder that targeting civil infrastructure is a war crime. Destroying homes on purpose is a war crime.

I think some police departments use them in lieu of bear cats. Even the little skid steer bob cats can knock down a wall
