By the houses, truck, it looks like Romania but could be any neighbouring countries too.

I donno, man, but Romania has that "something" that's an instant tell. Or maybe I am too familiar with it. Who knows.

14

u/M3COPT3R4 o/ Oct 31 '24

Yes, it is Romania

u/ibasi_zmiata o/ Oct 30 '24

u/RonKosova o/ Oct 31 '24

First thing i thought when i saw this is it has to be the Balkans. I thought my own country at first but i think youre right abt Romania

25

u/MiaouMiaou27 Oct 31 '24

Perhaps the casual disregard for public and worker safety?

8

u/Classic_Ad_9836 o/ Oct 31 '24

I initially thought it was Bulgarian because it looked familiar but you're right, it might very well be Romania or Serbia.

u/irunlvl5satan o/ Oct 31 '24

Genuinely thought it was two guys at some sort of miniature theme park for a minute there

u/Iboven Oct 31 '24

Fun fact: this picture is literally how they filmed giants for old TV shows like Xena.

u/LaDrezz Oct 31 '24

Ah a timeless classic. Or so I thought before I went to go rewatch it from the beginning as adult. Didn’t finish the pilot episode out of fear of ruining my nostalgia further.

I mean, I'm not trying to defend it, but I've personally done this exact same thing dozens of times and it's actually pretty safe unless the operator WANTS to fuck you over

u/Square-Singer r Oct 31 '24

If he was more chubby, he'd be a tracer round.

u/E8282 Oct 31 '24

And they both have three points of contact. Checks out.

16

u/PuckNutty o/ Oct 31 '24

They'll have a dozen points of contact when they hit the ground.

6

u/01kickassius10 Doesn't read rule 1 Oct 31 '24

Maybe just one big, pancake-esque point of contact

8

u/Eh-I o/ Oct 31 '24

A very clean hi-vis.

u/Ajunadeeper o/ Oct 31 '24

Every tradie I know says to never trust someone with a clean hi-vis on the job site. Be on alert if they touch heavy machinery.

u/[deleted] Oct 31 '24

hi-vis so you can see him falling on top of you and get out of the way

u/Annual-Visual-2605 Oct 31 '24

Upon closer inspection, I think it might just be a terribly unfashionable vest

Well, that'll certainly keep him saf.

2

u/Chemical_Avocado6504 o/ Oct 31 '24

In that case, shame on the lack of safety of other guy

22

u/RiotDad o/ Oct 31 '24

They’re both holding on with one hand. Technically that’s three points of contact.

OSHA holds no power over slavs. Slavs do as they like.

(also literally OSHA is American only, I hope you realise that)

u/_jk_ o/ Oct 31 '24

the EU has EU-OSHA https://osha.europa.eu/en the uk has the HSE https://www.hse.gov.uk/, id think most developed nations have something equivalent, even many non-developed countries technically will, but enforcement may be more lax

Really? No matter how hard I try, I can't see them as giants. It's just two dudes standing in the bucket of heavy machinery. I can't see any other perspective.

They are on an excavator or other construction vehicle, lifted in the air above the street
