the only thing wrong with toto’s africa is nothing haha it’s perfect
just kidding someone mentioned to me that the line ‘sure as kilimanjaro rises like olympus above the serengeti’ is literally just saying ‘the mountain is like this other mountain’ and it’s the worst similie in existence and i can’t stop thinking about it please help
i want to make it clear that toto’s africa remains both my favorite song and the best song in existence, but this is it’s one (1) flaw. perhaps it is only because we are not allowed to gaze on mortal-made perfection, but the fact is that you can’t just be like ‘this mountain is like this other mountain’ and expect it to not grind my gears
to add insult to injury, Kilimanjaro is about twice as tall as Olympus.
What kind of janky ass recycling truck is….oh lord.
I know exactly how that shit lit up. See the smoke coming from the stack when he’s lifting? That’s the hydraulic pump working, and it’s working hard judging by the smoke. Runs hot even when it’s working normally. Probably been running extra hot for weeks. Probably the oil cooler shit the bed ages ago. Probably been running hot for so long that seals failed. Hydraulic tank probably losing volume because of it, getting hotter and hotter because there’s less oil to take the heat, losing oil pressure and viscosity and making that pump work harder and harder. Probably it’s someone’s job, at probably 18 bucks an hour, to check on that.
Probably didn’t happen.
‘s what happens when multinationals understaff, underpay, and undertrain the workers directly in harm’s way. Shit like this happens every day, but you the viewer get to see it here. Looks wild and scary and funny doesn’t it? just don’t think too hard about how thin the safety margins really are in heavy industry, because you won’t sleep.
Reblogging for the commentary. Remember kids, regulations were written in blood.

It didn’t look amusing in the FUCKING LEAST, that is terrifying.
I hope the driver coordinates with the person taking video and gets to litigation, because ABSOLUTELY NOT.
I love that the death animations seem random each time like sometimes the imposter’s chest opens up n eats u and sometimes they just snap your neck. sometimes its a knife or a gun. like imagine if the xenomorph in alien was sneaking around and eating ppl but he also had a glock. that would be sick as fuck i think
