      Tell me you’ve never struggled before without telling me that you’ve never struggled before.

      Like the other person said, they’re likely taking it to a metal scrapyard for easy cash. You get 10¢/lb for steel, $1.50/lb for aluminum, and $5/lb for copper. If you own a pickup truck, you can make a decent chunk of change in a day of simply driving through alleyways and backroads and picking up whatever bits of metal you find along the way.

        whilst i appreciate your response and the time you’ve put into it, i assure you that this was purely a buttplug joke and not a real question.

          I know it was a joke but it had a question in it that I knew the answer to, so I was compelled to reply.

    Dude, are you jealous? I pick up sticks too but I’ve never found a free telephone pole! Finding a telephone pole just there on the street next to big piles of gravel and bags of concrete and the heavy machinery… Obviously someone just discarded it. You can get it recycled for a good $50 bucks!

      It needs some side spikes around the bicycle too.

      I’m imagining a bicycle with spikes that lie flat and can be extended like porcupine quills 😁

      I’ve always wondered about scrap metal places. “Guess you didn’t need your bits of construction scaffolding or the stop sign anymore huh?”

      Don Quixote is having a hard time finding a workhorse these days. At least he won’t have to go far find a dragon and its hoard.

    When I went on twitter and reddit a few years ago, there was the hashtag #carryshitolympics and a subreddit with the same name.

    This belongs in that category.

      That hashtag is still active on Mastodon, featuring mostly cargo bikes carrying lots of shit.
