What kinda crackhead fuckery is this?
How else will you take a telephone pole home?
Scrapyards pay $1.50/lb for aluminum
Found a new mast for his Meshcore Repeater
He thought it was a flock camera and is trying to do his part.
Looks like a light standard.
Probably got knocked over and he stole it to sell.
founder keeper no?
The government really doesn't like that rule with their property.
Our property!
So, literally not a telephone pole.
One of only a few ways to keep drivers at a respectable distance
It needs some side spikes around the bicycle too.
I'm imagining a bicycle with spikes that lie flat and can be extended like porcupine quills 😁
"I brought this from home"
I've always wondered about scrap metal places. "Guess you didn't need your bits of construction scaffolding or the stop sign anymore huh?"
When I went on twitter and reddit a few years ago, there was the hashtag #carryshitolympics and a subreddit with the same name.
This belongs in that category.
See! You don't need a care for most errands.
Stolen to sell to the recycler no doubt.
Surely the recycler is going to have questions yeah?
Looks like a tweeker found his pot of scrap aluminum at the end other the "Meth Rainbow".
On their way to kill a dragon...
Don Quixote is having a hard time finding a workhorse these days. At least he won't have to go far find a dragon and its hoard.
Didn't All city make a bike called Workhorse?
Please be Florida…
Dude, are you jealous? I pick up sticks too but I've never found a free telephone pole! Finding a telephone pole just there on the street next to big piles of gravel and bags of concrete and the heavy machinery... Obviously someone just discarded it. You can get it recycled for a good $50 bucks!
Must be for the pole tax
Looks actually like telephone poll on a bicycle and guy accompanying it.
what’s he doing that for? doesn’t even have a flared base…
Tell me you've never struggled before without telling me that you've never struggled before.
Like the other person said, they're likely taking it to a metal scrapyard for easy cash. You get 10¢/lb for steel, $1.50/lb for aluminum, and $5/lb for copper. If you own a pickup truck, you can make a decent chunk of change in a day of simply driving through alleyways and backroads and picking up whatever bits of metal you find along the way.
whilst i appreciate your response and the time you’ve put into it, i assure you that this was purely a buttplug joke and not a real question.
I know it was a joke but it had a question in it that I knew the answer to, so I was compelled to reply.
The guy is walking beside the bicycle with the ?metal thing? supported by the handlebars
I love seeing the crazy shit of other towns.
This is why I drive the backroads. The interstate is for people with no culture. I have seen so many crazy things going old 441.
That ain’t no telephone pole, bruv
What about that pavement crack? What’s the story with that crack? Looks like an important crack there.
Fault line
Scrap metal sale?
