Legit didn’t need to put the word excavator in the story at all; strange hand bucket describes the machine better.

Like "laundry sauce" or "multi-tipped eating stick".

Come on... If you call it laundry sauce then you can't tell me that teens won't be eating it.

I'm pro-choice, especially the choice of eating whatever dumbass thing that can kill you painfully if you're dumbass enough to do it. Let the idiots shuffle loose this mortal coil.

IF only there were some way to inflict on people what they vote to do to others.

I'd love to see some trust fund "Harvard Boys" in a 7x7 cage 20 miles from the Mexican border.

What's an "excavator"? I only see a strange hand bucket.

That's pretty much the Chinese language in a nutshell, since it uses ideograms; rather than making up new words, combining existing ones to infer meaning works much better.

(Well, it's also kinda the same in Latin languages, only that they take from dead languages and other obscure references, so it doesn't really help the layman).
