      Lemmy doesn’t track your cumulative karma as far as I can tell. So it’s not really farming since you don’t even get a badge that says you have a big pp for it

      Can’t always find a solid shitpost in the barrel. Sometimes you stick your hand in the shit barrel and find shit of questionable consistency.

        Oh I see how that reads now. That was not a dig at you. I was just saying I hate those types of posts. Seeing as we are on shit post I just kind of assumed you were throwing it out there in all of it obnoxious glory

          I definitely didn’t take it as a comment on my own behavior, I agree that this kind of shit is obnoxious. I just wanted to make jokes about diarrhea.

    My fucking back tensed just looking at this shit. Never helping plant signs again. Though it was cool the signs were made to use one of those instead of just stabbing it in the ground like those weak ass wire frame ones.

      Loosen your grip right before it hits, not enough that you lose control but enough that you’re not going to take much of the impact. It might take an extra hit or two, but it also might mean that you can push it down a little bit harder as well knowing that you don’t have to absorb the impact

      Edit: or don’t, I don’t care

      Plant… a sign…?

      I think I’m going to advertise my next fence project as all natural “planted” fencing.

          Yeah, doesn’t involve burying or getting into the actual ground itself from anything I’ve seen about it.

          Using that phrase, to “plant” a sign would be to lay it on top of the ground. So it wouldn’t be wrong for a large weighted sign I guess, but the pictures about pouring something into the ground.

              You said plant your feet, that has a specific definition, which is different than the one you’re using now for planting.

              Language is tough. But yeah, no planting a sign is not a correct term for what you would do. Like at all, no matter how you try to stretch definitions.

                  Yep plant has multiple definitions, and neither is for placing signs in the ground, and it also is different in the specific phrase “plant your feet”. Neither refer to rooting.

                  The nuances are tough, but they are there.

                  Maybe provide the specific definition that you’re confusing the right one with and we could clear this up.

    I actually thought this was a police tool for breaking in doors.

    So according to comments it’s a post driver. So far I dug holes and put my poles in. This tool seems practical for soft soil, but what do you do when living somewhere with rocky soil or with dry clay soil?

      We have dry clay soil. You put on hearing protection and whack the shit out of the t-post with this bad boy.

        Ah thanks! So you use thin metal posts. I still use self cut wood like a caveman and whack the shit out of other things.

          Yeah, i wouldn’t use one of these to drive in the wooden posts. We still need them every once in a while for stability.

          If you’re putting in t-posts, an auger is going to end up making a really big hole. An auger would be more appropriate, IMO, for a wooden post.

      For hard soil you use a different tool. It’s similar to how you have saws for wood and saws for metal.

      When you fill the tube with cement it gets the nickname “Redneck Lockpick”.

      I’ve used one to put those skinny metal posts in that have wings on the bottom part to make it hard to rip them back out. A post hole digger is usually used for large wooden posts.

    I should have been familiar with it, but the one time I put up a fence, I didn’t know that such a thing existed, so I used a big mallet and a lot of hard work.
