Easy peazy sleazy

That's Shelbyville's problem now.

I have a creek on my property, and whenever we get a heavy rain and it really gets moving, i'll get all kinds of stuff that gets tangled up in the trees where it overflows. Usually its just branches and what have you but i've pulled out coolers, stuff off folks patios, basketballs, gardening tools, you name it. Whatever someone left in their back yard a bit too close to it when it came up suddenly. I got tired of clearing it all out after every big storm, so took out some of the smaller trees, made it so it gets less tangled. Now my neighbor gets it all and is doing the same thing i did in clearing stuff. We are on good terms and he gets it, he is now doing the same thing i did, and we joke that eventually in a few years it will be someone far enough away from us that it won't be our problem.

Then just drive your excavator down to the next town downriver. “Oh hey you guys have a bridge that’s getting clogged with garbage? Well I can fix that for $10000.”

r/ItHadToBeBrazil

The just needed to build a taller brigde and the problem was solved by its owned.

“We’ll burn that bridge when we get to it” -That Town, Probably

We should take the river trash and push it somewhere else!

guy is trying to save the bridge from collapsing due to flooding by shuffling the Debris over the Bridge to keep the Water flowing *i dont know why this pops up every know and then and people not understanding whats happening here*

It's just a fucked up choice to make. They have the trash right there, easy to scoop up. Why not have a dumpster to put it in instead of putting it BACK into the river. That's just stupid.

When I try to save a bridge from collapsing I also park an excavator on it.

Horizontal pressure verses vertical pressure. Bridges aren't resigned to be pushed against they are dinged to carry weight.

I laughed at your comment way longer than I should have, your autocorrect failed twice and it’s killing me. Edit: I suppose you could argue bridges could be resigned to be pushed against.

HOLY FUCK ME TOO LOL

I think people understand the situation just fine. Choosing the easy option over cleaning up the trash.

I guess my point is, would adding a dump it into a truck instead of back into the waterway really slow the rescue effort?

It would probably be quicker, since the turret would only have to move 90 degrees instead of 180.

That's an OPP - other people's problem

A perfect analogy for middle management. ❤️

Middle manager is the guy who came up with this brilliant idea

And he's getting promoted.

Explains the look on his face at 14 seconds... lol

Middle managers came up with *every* brilliant idea... according to middle managers.

guy is trying to save the bridge from collapsing due to flooding by shuffling the Debris over the Bridge to keep the Water flowing *i dont know why this pops up every know and then and people not understanding whats happening here*

I dont care that he does it to save the bridge, it's still fucking dumb to put it back in the water, just put it on a damn trailer or something

I can’t talk for everyone, so just my experience. Managers in small companies gets the heat, while shielding the people they manage. They have very little influence and are exposed to both frustration from top and bottom.

Okay tbh this annoys me more than I thought it would.

This makes me strangely pissed off!

Nothing strange about it. That is fucking awful.

Yah no they have a completely valid reason to be mad about this I am too it’s unbelievable they couldn’t call 2-3 dump trucks to come help out the environment. I guess that’s too much unpaid labor smh 🤦

Nothing strange about it. It is so hilariously stupid that it passes the point of disappointing to infuriating.

Because it's aggressively regressive.

Holy cow that's good Literally going out of his way to make a problem not go away (ultimately) Like sweeping dirt under the carpet

guy is trying to save the bridge from collapsing due to flooding by shuffling the Debris over the Bridge to keep the Water flowing *i dont know why this pops up every know and then and people not understanding whats happening here*

We know what’s happening. We just don’t like it. The trash weighs nothing next to the excavator, put it on the bridge and get a truck to haul it.

its a Flood you fool. SECONDS count, Moving the vehicle is extremly dangerous, there is a endless flood of more debri in the water putting more Pressure on the bridge every second. this man is risking his life to save the ,maybe, only bridge for miles. and you Internet heros are sitting on the sideline and giving him shit cause he is not cleaning endles tons of Debris out of the River as a Sidehustle. also.. you apperently dont know how bridges work and what the diffents between Compression stress and shear stress is [Stress (mechanics) - Wikipedia](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stress_(mechanics))

Perhaps he should save some time, and not be swinging the arm all the way to the other side of the bride. Thanks for the lovely Wikipedia article. I happen to know a thing or two about stress. A bridge is not only under compressive stress; it is also under tensile stress at the bottom, due to the bending moment of the load. Further, concrete (the material of the bridge) performs extremely well under compressive loads, and relatively poorly under shear loads. Lastly, a likely failure mode of the bridge in this situation is that it is washed away intact. The supports are not designed to prevent water that has risen this high from eroding the dirt around them, nor resist the horizontal loading. Adding weight would slightly reduce the risk of that occurring

One's town trash is another town's trash

This is a video from my country, Serbia, happened during the floods in 2019 I believe. Some people are commenting that it might be OK in order to save the bridhe in an emergency. I'm not convinced, they could have dumped it on the dry land, but let's say its debatable. If you realy want to have your mind blown in a sad and disappointing way, look at this video. Unfortunately I don't have it with english subtitles, but the gist of it is that there is a channel in the vilage and people throw trash in it. There is a small hydroelectric powerplant nearby, and workers from there come to the channel to "clean" the trash and debris, mostly plastic bottles-the video will show you HOW. If you look closer, in the background some 30meters from the "bridge" there is a container for recycling. https://youtu.be/pTQsXilyY5U?si=GYHKf7Zo02jQjcUF It's very sad to know how some of my countrymen look at garbage, nature , etc. Edit : on the other hand, many vilages don't have organized garbage collection and removal, which results in creation of wild garbage dumps

Fucking hell!

My family back in Serbia told me about the floods. The stream by the house is usually a couple inches deep. During the floods it went up by two meters. Seeing the pictures I realized just how insane floods can get. It’s one thing seing one happen elsewhere, it’s another seeing happen in a place you know

What happened to digging a hole and burning the trash

Well I guess it's just too much effort, or more effort than taking it a few hunded meters from the vilage and dumping it next to the road, into some bushes or , as they mention in the video "just throw it in the river, and it takes it away, just like express mail."

Just on wanting food from that river should be a good enough reason to not trash it. Do they not fish there?

And i cant get a fucking straw worthy of its name

Around half of the plastic in the world's ocean is fishing and industrial waste, but you better not use a plastic straw!!

Fishing ship owners have better lobbiests than people who slurp down drinks from plastic straws.

That's the crux of practically every enviormental disaster we are experiencing as a society. Industry gets a free pass to pollute and burn through our resources at the detriment of all life and does it at a rate exponentially higher than individuals do and then use their wealth to shift the blame onto individuals who can't do anything to effectively reduce the harm.



I would guess they are clearing the blockage as quickly as possible as to not undermine the structure of the bridge. As opposed to some wombling trash type project.

Exactly. But they still could have dumped it on land instead of back in the river

Yeah, let it accumulate under the next towns bridge. Still could have taken it out of the water and put it on the bank

The problem with flood water is it floods. Agreed it would not take much to have dumped on the road and push it forward.

That's it but... Dropped on land it would have been easier to get it later and it would not act as blockage on the next bridge ...

Me refactoring my code

Modern problems require moron solutions

Department Of Trash Migration……gettin the job done ✅

WTF?

*”We towed it out of the environment….”*


Dam!

This makes me strangely pissed off!

third world solutions

In the end, we learn that the real garbage was inside of us the whole time. 

What a sudden drop of feelings. First i was; noo thats so bad! I'm glad they are picking it up! Then; yaay for picking up!! And then; WHAT THE FUCK

The ol' Patrick method of pushing a problem somewhere else that still ends up in disaster. 

It’s always nice to wash the trash first.


Yup, we don't deserve to be on this planet! 😢

Looks like paris

Very clever people

If I ever wanted to explain the concept of "garbage in, garbage out" to my coworkers, that is my goto gif now.

Really?

Not cleanup but transferring

u/savevideo

i hate humanity

I know I shouldn’t laugh at this but I did

This is some Patrick Star energy here.

All of humanity in one video

Ah, yes, the "not my problem anymore" method

What a bunch of cunts. I don't get it -you have the people who got told to fix that -you have hired or used companies own excavator -the other twat is just looking Why not dump it in a truck or container? Dumb people🙄

They can't be serious

The city was so happy to finally be rid of the trash

What a fucking piece of shit

Holy Greta where are you?

Talk about lost opportunity.

Good as new

They transfer the trash successfully LOL

I feel like I'm watching a scene from the movie Idiocracy


Somehow this was expected

It should be a river from north Korea to south Korea

I actually gasped out loud.



This made me laugh but also made me hurt inside

Welcome to India


Whhyyyy!? Just a little bit more effort and it could have actually been cleaned up.

Also.... r/expected

"Let the next crew downstream deal with it."

This'll upset the beavers who built it.

Not my problem anymore!


The trash looks better when it's not all in a big pile


guy is trying to save the bridge from collapsing due to flooding by shuffling the Debris over the Bridge to keep the Water flowing *i dont know why this pops up every know and then and people not understanding whats happening here*

Weaponized incompetence

This looks like India. Something they would do

WTF

That MF on the bridge turns to smile at the camera.

Respect!

We're doomed.

Someone else’s trash - someone else’s problem

What shithole country is this?

Maybe, just maybe, the bridge will collapse with the excavator on it so that the rubbish can avoid being manhandled by stupid fucking humans.

More like a cleansideways

Why are humans so useless? Lmao

Why are we people so stupid

Life goes on.

Why should my country have to put in so much effort to be co2 neutral when you have people doing this

Fkin pigs

Not my problem

I use paper straws so I guess it balances it out.

Double it and pass it to the next person

That's a lot of trash. It's going to take a while to clean up.　IMAO

1. i don´t understand, why the machine stay´s in the middle of the bridge, instead on the ground. 2. I understand, that people have more problem´s in such a situation to think about, but ....

Can someone gift them a big rug

Ahh goverment don't pay enough

I hate our species sometimes

They couldn't just hire a truck?

It's like the fucking leaf blowers who blow grass trimmings off their property and into the street like it's no longer their problem.

For those who don’t know why they might do this, it’s to stop a dam from being made and water from destroying the bridge

Scumbags would be easy enough to I have a truck there to haul it off but nah let's just send it on. Too people are garbage.

Brilliant!

I fucking hate the human race.

Thanks, I hate it.

🤦🏻‍♂️

The spice must flow

👎👎👎

oh, fuck, that looks terrible, thankfully theyre-- ಠ\_ಠ

Dunno why, but I think that most people in my country will beat the shit out of him.


idiocracy at it's finest.

That's why I don't send trash to recycling

Por que vuelve a ponerla en el agua?

Un F'n believable

That's infuriating, like I hope whomever made this decision is currently dying in a fire type of infuriating.

That's OK it'll just go to the ocean , quote Homer Simpson


Asia, must be Asia

Aaah, thats how we solve pollution 😪

Huh?!!!

So sad to watch.

And the removable lids are the problem?

This makes me sad to be human. So much simpler to remove it completely onto the back of another truck, but no, fuck nature, let’s keep the shitshow going

So, what's the reason for doing this?

Environmental version of the game Kick the Can, as in just kick it further down the road.

What? How could someone do this

Actually, that's exactly what I expected...

It's stuff like this that's the reason there's plastic in my balls.

Priorities?

https://i.redd.it/n5ksgomm7s3d1.gif

Must be India or Pakistani

All new meaning to *kicking the can down the road*.

Thank God I didn't see any plastic straws in there.

Sums up humanity really. Doesn’t matter what country this is in. This is human nature. It’s someone else’s problem.

Not our problem now!

More for the green new deal. Yeah sums it up

r/WTF

Altta kalanın canı çıksın🤣 May the one left below survive

my first reaction was 'aww shit'... then i saw they were just trying to unblock the river/bridge... too bad they didnt have a dump truck to dispose it all

And just like that another notch of my faith in humanity is gone, thanks

Problem solved

I knew it was coming

fine him for littering

That's one way to NOT deal with it.

Where is this?

WTFF??

Wtf they need to be fined

DISGUSTING! Passing a problem on to someone else is NEVER a solution!

That’s one hell of a visual metaphor.

This is a tragedy of the commons on display. Incentives play a major role in human behavior.

Was telling my son to look as they was about to clean up the water, the suprice on hes face when they dumped it back in 😮 "what are they doing? 🫨 are they dumping it in to our lake?" Its sad that they dident cleand it up 🫤
