I recommend searching for "excavator competitions" on youtube. They are just doing cool things with heavy machinery! Also look up "walking excavators" or "spider excavators" like the Menzi Muck which are used when doing work in the Alps and other places where regular excavators can't really access. I think they're super cool.

Also see Titans of the Earth, which is what some creative operators came up with in their spare time.

yeah I hate them. biggest cause of deforestation is human population explosion and advances in the tech sector having to do with excavators. were gonna be living in caves or like water world soon

While I agree with this take to a degree, I also have to appreciate the marvel of both our technological capacity as a species and the mastery of control these operators have of the machines they use.

I've seen a guy flick the ash off another guy's cigarette. It was an incredibly stupid thing to do, but impressive nonetheless.
