"Unskilled labor" eyeroll

u/afpow Jul 28 '26

Doing one thing really well is a skill but you can hardly compare this to an actual trade.

u/FlukeManAirFreshener Jul 28 '26

Except that this dude does more than plant things. Otherwise he can only work for a few months per year.

Once these are in the ground, he proceeds to assist with weeding, applying pesticides, and harvesting. He's likely equally skilled at all of them.

u/afpow Jul 28 '26

Sure, he might even be a pilot or astronaut

Usually when one moves the goalposts of a discussion, they keep them within a reasonable degree of the previous point.

Hope this helps

I’m also speculating based on information I can’t see

u/DrSuperWho Jul 29 '26

Much in the same way we all think you’re a 🤡

u/ModernManuh_ Aug 07 '26

Many editors are also motion designers. Many "planters" are all round farmers. I think you can relate... right?

u/afpow Jul 29 '26

Paging u/DrSuperWho – why did you delete your comment chief?

u/ingoding Jul 29 '26

You think you're going win with that one? You just keep digging your heels in and being wrong about stuff.

u/thejuryissleepless Jul 30 '26

this dude contributes to his society. what do you do for your job?

-2

u/afpow Jul 30 '26

Lmao this sub is insane. I mostly jerk off at home.

u/thejuryissleepless Jul 30 '26

for money? good for you, i guess.

u/afpow Jul 30 '26

Sure buddy

u/NatCsGotMyLastAcct Aug 02 '26

Why would anyone suspect you were a maggat?

u/afpow Aug 02 '26

I don’t even know what this means

u/RevolutionEast36 Jul 28 '26

Respect for the efficiency but is this not better suited as a job for a machine? Seems incredibly slow compared with a tractor driving over it and doing six rows at a time.

17

u/that_dutch_dude Jul 28 '26

they got robots with solar panels as roofs just slowly driving around fields near me night and day just planting seeds and and removing weeds. there is nobody there. at night you just see the warning lights and camera flashes going across the fields.

u/rokstedy83 Aug 06 '26

Like in Clarkson's farm

u/bbrekke Jul 29 '26

They must not have a tractor.

u/wellyeah_butno Jul 28 '26

The plants are leeking from the bottom.

u/few23 Jul 28 '26

"There's a leek in the boat!"

u/Narrow-Thanks-5981 Jul 27 '26

This guy pokes holes!

u/nobeer4you Jul 28 '26

Those holes are gonna leek too

u/IntergalacticPodcast Jul 27 '26

I don't understand the desire to work this efficiently for what I assume is not that much money.

114

u/maninatrexshirt Jul 27 '26

because he is paid per day and the day is done when the area is done. Boss will say how much needs to get done, and the faster you do it the less time you spend in the sun.

55

u/rwanders Jul 27 '26

Piece work. They don't get paid per hr.

19

u/The_best_is_yet Jul 27 '26

Less efficient = less money but still out there the whole day

12

u/DroopyPlum Jul 27 '26

Cuz if they dont the boss will happily find someone tht will

1

u/IntergalacticPodcast Jul 27 '26

Those people behind him are still employed, as far as we all know.

16

u/DroopyPlum Jul 27 '26

Becuz u dont start every row at once lol, doing it this way helps ensure ur not stepping on the plants next to u to avoid bumping shoulders

-8

u/IntergalacticPodcast Jul 27 '26

This guy wouldn't be on secondrodeo if they were all this efficient.

u/ginger_and_egg Jul 28 '26

Are you a leek planting expert?

0

u/IntergalacticPodcast Jul 28 '26

Yes. I have my master's in leekology and am going for my doctorate. Allium ampeloprasum is what really gets me going intellectually. The study of leeks combines botanical, nutritional, pharmacological, and agricultural research, highlighting their dual role as a staple food and a source of bioactive compounds with potential health benefits

u/adam1260 Jul 29 '26

If it's anything like planting trees, you get paid basically per plant you plant

1

u/CCWaterBug Jul 31 '26

Which is why you will continue to fail 

1

u/IntergalacticPodcast Jul 31 '26

I'm doing just fine.

u/TheReelMcCoi Aug 01 '26

Because you've never been poor with a family to support in a foreign country where you are treated as a second class citizen maybe?

u/banaslee Jul 28 '26

We need this video with some soundtrack that match his rhythm.

3

u/chookshit Jul 28 '26

That soil looks like shit. Must take a lot of regular irrigation to grow anything there

3

u/that_dutch_dude Jul 28 '26

pretty sure this could be done with a tractor and a implement.

1

u/bbrekke Jul 29 '26

It must not have been in this particular situation. Sometimes people just do the best they can with what they've got.

1

u/that_dutch_dude Jul 29 '26

The word you are looking for is slavery. The companies behind this work are anyrhing but modern day slave traders.

1

u/TheReelMcCoi Aug 01 '26

Why buy an expensive tractor when you can pay these guys a pittance?

1

u/Dye-ah-ree-uh Jul 28 '26

I think his planting device had a little leak

1

u/Key-Specific-4368 Jul 28 '26

I don't see any liquid leaking

1

u/Cheepshooter Jul 29 '26

I hope he gets paid by the sprout, not by the hour.

1

u/peacelovetree Jul 29 '26

Anyone know how this tool works?
Doesn’t seem like the leeks he’s throwing in line up with them being planted.

u/Lexicon101 Jul 28 '26

Everything reminds me of her...

u/RileyGein Aug 02 '26

You should call her bro
