If video games have taught me anything its that theres a series of levers somewhere that will rotate these into position

[–] ZILtoid1991@kbin.social 20 points 1 year ago

Or that you should jump between them once you're close enough.

[–] taiyang@lemmy.world 8 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Exactly, although the puzzle adventure games have taught me it's more likely a series of wheels you need to rotate precisely. Or worse, a buddy you know through a walky talky needs to do it while the room slowly floods with you in it.

Ah, good times.

Or while you freeze to death :)

You'd need to learn Minecraft levels of parkour in real life just to the bottom of this hole

If you want to get there alive at least

just use a bucket of water

[–] Quills@sh.itjust.works 1 points 1 year ago

Oh yeah, that'd be Lot's easier and less dangerous

ladder jumps are hard, even with a spriny key they can get quite tricky sometimes

[–] BobbyBandwidth@lemmy.world 16 points 1 year ago

You could easily replace “Eastern Europe” with the West and and make the same point about capitalism

I’m not out here being a capitalist Stan, just pointing out this meme is weak

Communism is a bunch of random people climbing on eachothers back and when one gets to the top he is expected to pull the others up. Which is great if he's a good person but most people aren't.

Unlike capitalism, which is a bunch of random people climbing on eachothers back and when one gets to the top he is not expected to pull the others up.

But then he's valued more and gets tax breaks if he allows others to make him more money by producing value for him. Then he's a job creator for having ownership of the means of production.

[–] PeriodicallyPedantic@lemmy.ca 9 points 1 year ago

The whole idea of a "job creator" is hilarious. As if they're the ones who created the demand. If a job creator really created jobs, then layoffs wouldn't ever happen. Job facilitator would be generous.

hey look everybody, this guy has no god damn idea what he’s talking about and is only blindly peddling capitalist propaganda!

[–] LadyAutumn@lemmy.blahaj.zone 20 points 1 year ago

That is not even close to what communism is. This strange analogy best fits the capitalist concept of trickle down economics. Someone will steal enough money from the workers to become a billionaire and then will give money back to the workers. This isn't and has never been an actual function of capitalism.

What does this have to do with ladders

[–] NutWrench@lemmy.ml 5 points 1 year ago

I'm guessing those are pre-fabricated pipe sections, with the ladders already installed. Someone forgot to line them up during installation.

[–] Holzkohlen@feddit.de 4 points 1 year ago

Now I wanna know if I could climb that.

[–] Peruvia@lemmy.ml 3 points 1 year ago

PARKOUR! and good knees.

[–] eldain@feddit.nl 2 points 1 year ago

Uh nice, a side entrance to Croft Manor. The first back jump is a bit tricky, make sure you are in the leftmost position of the first ladder before you press A.

[–] zbynaCool@lemm.ee 2 points 1 year ago

Looks like We Were Here Too reference

[–] nickbrum@lemmy.ml 2 points 1 year ago

You have obviously never had a job that involves working in tight spaces wearing a tool belt. Also easier to fix if part of the climbing points fail due to degradation from moisture.
