    At my age now, I completely agree. Back in my teens I was young, dumb, and it was fun. Looking back, every task was made so tedious that it felt like it encouraged this kind of behavior. It could have just been that I had a cocktail of undiagnosed mental health issues though.

    Cringe. This only benefits the wealthy and forces the expectation of hurting yourself for your job.

    Just cuz you only have half your fingers to keep count with doesn't mean you did it in half the time. You just ran out of numbers.

    "Oh, this is dangerous. If this goes wrong my spine is going to crush like a tinkertoy. ... ... Well... shit. There's no other way to do it really. Okay, I hope it goes okay."

    Turned out fine. In retrospect, I was young and dumb. I worked with some guys who'd gotten fucked up, just a couple, usually they gave them work in the office if they wanted it since their bodies didn't work right anymore. OSHA's a good thing.

    Don't risk your lives or limbs for the bosses, people

    See what I do is that I become trustworthy because I end up knowing stuff that the bosses need, so when they need to test new stuff they send me to do it… so I set the pace. Yup, that totally takes an hour to do. What? 15 minutes? Sure, THAT one took 15 minutes, but you see, over here, you can see that this thing happened, and you also have to factor this and that, so really, doing it in under an hour isn’t really possible…

    My boss doesn't let me do things on my own anymore because Im stupidily stubborn....I moved a pallet of furniture 3x my weight with a hand truck across campus and my boss is still stumped on how, apparently "fulcrum" and "gravity" was not an adequate answer

    Edit: My coworkers and boss are confused why I am the most knowledgeable on saftey, proper protocols and the consequences of not following them yet the most willing to yolo everything.

    A little off topic, but I hope we find the lost episodes of that cartoon. I know for one of the episodes I think we have a German dub, but I want all the episodes in glorious Australian English.

    Someone beat me to it, but, Skippy: Adventures in Bushtown.

    Whole series is basically following a kangaroo, Skippy, who stops the mayor from doing his plans that would/do screw over the townspeople in most cases.
