This man will repair your car in such a way it will both never break and when you do go to a normal mechanic for something they will gaze upon it in awe and horror.
I used to be a programmer and now I fix cars professionally, I feel like half of my professional life has been gazing upon some ancient work of dark magic and cussing loudly because I know I'm about to have to go in.
The line between jank and wizardry is sometimes blurry. The best magic has a little bit of jank in it, and the worst jank is sometimes a little bit magical.
But "autism didn't exist back in my day" right?
It did, it just only got noticed in people who are intellectually disabled. That's the only kid I knew with autism growing up in the 80s who got diagnosed.
The son of a family friend obviously has Asperger's, he's a few years older than me, and his parents did have him tested back then and were told nothing was wrong, but I don't think they had that knowledge back then. He will ask me for a Coke Zero every ten minutes like clockwork when he comes over, polish it off and ask for another.
When i was in 4th grade 31 years ago my teacher knew something was up and advised my mom to get me tested. The "test" was absolute garbage and i "passed" i was so happy. In hindsight i just wished that i got an ADHD diagnosis early
Reminds me of my hermit uncle who used to clean the beer cans off of his floor with a rake before we would come visit.
That looks like my play through of a fallout game. For some reason it amuses me to no end to make a random, huge pile of found alcohol, in game.
I’m humbled by this man doing it in real life.
i imagine that fuckin stinks
not to the roaches.. i learned that the hard way a few years ago.
during covid, i left a couple of cases of empty bottles on my kitchen floor and didn't think anything of them for a month or so. that's how i found out my neighbors had cleanliness issues, and the roaches found out they had a new place next door to terrorize. horrible experience - don't keep your empties in your apartment.
They do deposit returns where I live. So you get them cents back for every can. There are people that make a couple of hundred bucks a month picking cans out of the ditches. There's like what? $50 in this picture? Either way he could have those gone in an hour for free if he knows a homeless person.
It can sometimes grow to quite a large fund for people.
Damian Gordon saved $46,000. He described it as a hobby for him. What a legend!
Hes going to melt them down for parts
Autism is not as rare as we still think, it just has shapes that we don't readily recognize.
Some people have a 401k. This guy's retirement is in metals.
There's like $35 bucks in bottles there Ricky, fuck.
At least $35, you sound a little ungrateful there bud.
RIP this mechanic's liver.
He’ll lay it on the pool table and rebuild it.
If your country had the German Pfand system where you pay 25 cent more per can and get it back if you return it, this would be expensive....
They would flush down the cans to own the libs.
Is he that dumb and disgusting?
Texas.
