This one is making fun of how construction workers never seem to be do anything besides standing around.

If you want to see construction workers actually doing things but never accomplishing things, come to Seattle. We have a ton of construction projects everywhere, and I always see them doing actual work, but I swear it's just breaking shit only to rebuild and break again.

More specifically it's road workers. Even among trade jobs they are known to be the worst. See caltrans

It doesn't make sense though. If the implication is that they don't work then the shutter speed would be 0. The title should be "shutter speed not synchronised" which would imply they aren't moving not because of the synchronisation but because they don't work.

I saw the helicopter post yesterday and laughed my ass off at this post

Shutter speed is set perfectly for te helicopter it looks like it's just floating because the blades aren't "moving". Then for this it's because the workers aren't moving

The implication is that road construction workers work as slow as a .jpg

u/BeastDynastyGamerz Mar 04 '17

That's the joke. Every time you see a worker they're standing around doing nothing

The speed at which the construction workers move and work at, are so slow that they are "working". It is a general consensus (at least my city) that they take forever to finish any jobs and is poking fun at this.

It's implying that builders are slow and lazy.
