??? What does a fence post driver have to do with your age?

[-] BlueLineBae@midwest.social 52 points 6 months ago

Well for some... It's a thing you put fireworks into....

[-] saltesc@lemmy.world 25 points 6 months ago

No, I'm pretty sure it's how SWAT get through doors

[-] Dagwood222@lemm.ee 10 points 6 months ago

The tube looks hollow. SWAT would use a solid ram.

[-] simplejack@lemmy.world 9 points 6 months ago

RAM makes police vehicles, but the Ford Police Interceptor tends to be more popular with SWAT.

Those are closed on both ends and have both handles on one side or one handle on the top with handles on both sides.

[-] bobs_monkey@lemm.ee 12 points 6 months ago

I never thought to use one of these as a mortar tube, that's a brilliant idea.

[-] PunnyName@lemmy.world 8 points 6 months ago

And for a certain group of people, their houses get fucked with by cops using a variant of this.

[-] SzethFriendOfNimi@lemmy.world 10 points 6 months ago

Exactly. Back breaking work but this is so much better than any other manual alternatives.

[-] CarterH739@lemmy.world 18 points 6 months ago

We didn't have one of these. Instead, I got to crouch on the ground and hold the post with my hands while my father brought the front-end loader bucket down on it. Good times.

[-] SzethFriendOfNimi@lemmy.world 18 points 6 months ago

Ah yes, the “we’re young enough to have another kid” parenting method

[-] spankinspinach@sh.itjust.works 7 points 6 months ago

Key memory unlocked. Oh damn I just remembered the sheer amount of faith I had to remind myself I had in my father's post driving ability

It's so satisfying to slide this thing forcefully onto your pole OVER and OVER again, slamming it against the base.

[-] Croquette@sh.itjust.works 15 points 6 months ago

It can be if you want

[-] Colour_me_triggered@lemm.ee 24 points 6 months ago

That isn't a generational thing it's an urban/rural thing. A 5 year old from a farming community would know what that is. Also, if you fill them with concrete, you got yourself a hillbilly skeleton key.

Ngl I thought this was some form of battering ram

[-] shalafi@lemmy.world 15 points 6 months ago
[-] bobs_monkey@lemm.ee 6 points 6 months ago* (last edited 6 months ago)

Fill it with concrete and it'll probably work very well to bash doors

It's a battering ram for dirt.

[-] Gerudo@lemm.ee 16 points 6 months ago

I made the mistake of using one to pound metal stakes without ear protection.

Ugh. My hands and back hurt just looking at that.

[-] comrade19@lemmy.world 16 points 6 months ago

And if you use ear protection you can get off my property you piece of shit grandson

This is the thing to get a pole in the ground. I used it to put up an electric fence around a pear orchard once

I don't think most gen alphas are tall enough to use a post driver effectively. I've got early model alphas and they are barely 5'4".

Yes, I have seen Clarksons‘s Farm.

It is much less fun than that

It's a "state police open up-er"

I'm a millennial. I guess if it was bolted to the ground, you could lock a bike to it?
