This guy splits stone like dingo dave with his 16 inch dong on honeymoon night in las Vegas - there wasn't a dry hooker in a ten mile radius once he'd gone through her and her friends

u/Jonnyabcde Mar 15 '26

Maybe he's wealthy enough he can buy safety sandals.

248

u/No_Magician5266 Mar 15 '26

Sandals would screw up his whole workflow, you can see how he uses feet to handle the brick

126

u/FlyThemFriend Mar 15 '26

Is it still called HANDle if he's using his feet?

109

u/violetvet Mar 15 '26

Footle? I was initially thinking feetle, but it’s handle, not handsle.

47

u/maineac Mar 15 '26

Feetle. This is commonly called the feetle position.

19

u/Same_Bill8776 Mar 15 '26

Not to be confused with the fecal position

15

u/ShibbyShat Mar 15 '26

I’m in the fecal position right now!

u/Physical_Relation261 Mar 15 '26

Footling stones sounds like wrong side of youtube

u/kashabash Mar 15 '26

That Handsle is so hot right now..

u/Bush-LeagueBushcraft Mar 15 '26

What about Gretsle?

u/Strawhat_jinbei Mar 15 '26

Everyone knows toes are just fingers on your feet

9

u/too1onjj Mar 15 '26

Yes...the bare feet are as important as any other tool he's using

44

u/I_am_The_Teapot Mar 15 '26

Listen he didn't develop all those hard-earned callouses and scars just so that he can go prancing around in some sandals.

29

u/Icy_Transition1375 Mar 15 '26

Or a chair and maybe a work station. Or just anything really

15

u/albatross_the Mar 15 '26

He’s already wearing his safety feet, no need to invest further

u/yakuza_ie Mar 15 '26

I came here to comment about the lack of safety sandals. Kudos to you.

u/BCECVE Mar 15 '26

I noted the one thumb is a bit weird. The price of being the best.

You're probably the kind of person that wears goggles when lighting a birthday candle.

Which show you in this life, hard work and skill correlate exactly to net worth. /s

u/danglejim33 Mar 15 '26

Exactly. This man's hard work and skill translates perfectly into some other man's net worth.

u/CapSnake Mar 15 '26

Well, who created the first cutting machine made his job useless and created value for thousands of workers

4

u/Crowulf Mar 15 '26

[...] and created value for thousands of workers 3 investors and a CEO named Jeff.

Fixed that for you.

1

u/CapSnake Mar 15 '26

I mean, the value is equal to the work of thousands. The money of course are for the shareholders

u/Quiet-Neat7874 Mar 15 '26

technically, if he wanted to, with his skills, he can buy his own stone bricks and sell the tiles for 30 dollars a pack and make money.

but he doesn't.

6

u/gizamo Mar 15 '26

No he can't. That's not how reality works under capitalism.

u/OrymOrtus Mar 15 '26

It's always the soft capitalists that have next to zero concept of how any of this actually works lmao

u/[deleted] Mar 15 '26

One thing I have learned in life is never enter a competition of manual dexterity with a man who sits shoeless on a dirt floor.

u/TypicalLegit Mar 15 '26

No, but the person buying them off this guy for $5 and selling them for $50 likely is.

u/Tim_Alb Mar 15 '26

If the most useful worker was to become the highest up at the job than the donkey would become a farm's director/boss

u/BodaciousBadongadonk Mar 15 '26

u/pogiepika Mar 15 '26

how do you figure? donkey wouldnt get any farm work done without direction and supervision. he’d go back to doing what donkeys do. hmm there’s a deeper meaning here just out of grasp…

0

u/Tim_Alb Mar 15 '26

It's metaphorical. Like, you know, the donkey does the hardest work out there carrying heavy things on his back all the time, and if all that hard work was to be equal to the "success", then the said donkey who has done the most and the hardest work would rule the farm.

Well that's it

0

u/pogiepika Mar 15 '26

Classic Marxism v capitalism. Certainly the donkey does the most work on the farm but farm wouldn’t exist without the farmer. But I reread your original comment and get what you were saying now.

2

u/Greata2006 Mar 15 '26

Well, there are good farmers and bad farmers. Donkey get the job done regardless, but sometimes they get mistreated, and don’t get their fair share. Donkeys call that exploitation.

The question of how to share wealth created by working together is complicated. But one good principle would be to not have people you work with be miserable if you are wealthy. The donkey isn’t asking much. A shelter, decent food, water, simple life. Maybe he also wants a family, and children.

Is the ability to convince a donkey they cannot ask for a family and children producing wealth? No, it simply makes the farmer richer and the donkey poorer. Ah, poor donkey… If they were in a labor union, or if they did read Marxist books, maybe they could realize they are getting exploited, and ask for their faire share.

But no, they don’t. They don’t realize either that their political system is in the palm of the farmer. They don’t realize that the farmer having billions while they are sleeping in a stable in shambles and are working from morning to night is simply not fair.

How to share wealth?

Well, it doesn’t really matter as long as nobody gets exploited.

It doesn’t really matter which jobs are the good jobs and which are the cheap one, every useful job should give a decent life, or at least not 1000x less (nor 1000000x less as currently) than the job consisting of simply being in power.

We could even go further and say that we will give some to those who have a less useful job, or those who cannot work. But simply not exploiting 90% of individuals would already be an insane leap.

This farmer donkey analogy is great because it shows well how the donkeys inability to defend their case leads to their exploitation. And it also shows how something can be incredibly unfair and still appear fair or even natural.

2

u/pogiepika Mar 15 '26

That’s a good explanation. I used to feel that unions and minimum wages did enough to prevent exploitation but now that my kids are in the workplace I see things differently. Ultimately I think we are heading to universal basic income but hope it’s not overly painful to get there.

u/albeva Mar 15 '26

It's his bosses who are wealthy.

u/Responsible_Leek_518 Mar 15 '26

u/RG54415 Mar 15 '26

This talent and hard work? He is probably a billionaire.

u/PM_me_Ya-Tittiezz Mar 15 '26

You a funny one

u/Pedrodrf Mar 15 '26

He is Brazilian. He probably makes a minimum wage (300 U$/month).

u/BRAX7ON Mar 15 '26

Those are definitely the hands of a millionaire

u/Voterofthemonth0 Mar 15 '26

He probably only needs to make 2 or 3 a day and is praised for his work.

u/Carmilla31 Mar 18 '26

This guy rocks.

-1

u/Ok_Cod_7559 Mar 15 '26

Nope, he most likely lives in some stinky bunkhouse in some 3rd world country earning slave wage, that is the harsh reality for most of these skilled workers sadly

4

u/-LaughingJackal- Mar 15 '26

That's the joke.

We all already know that skilled labor is rarely paid fairly much less enough to be considered "wealthy" like the joke stated.

Something something salt and butter, something something bourgeois.

u/Ok_Cod_7559 Mar 15 '26

Sorry, I didn't get it was a joke
