A lot of this is oddly hypnotic to watch. I'm sure some of these videos are sped up but it's amazing how quickly and proficiently people and machines can work.

Much respect to those working dangerous jobs with superior skills with no safety protection like shoes or glasses but still work at a high level.

Some of these machines are out of this world and the hands of the skillful workers are phenomenal. Also some of these machines would have been awesome in the Saw movies

I can't help but be struck by how dangerous, labor intensive and just crazy hard so many of these are. How many things do I use or benefit from every day that someone broke their back to make? I'm sure many many more than I could ever imagine. Grateful for the hard working people that make the world go round

i used to work very fast with machines in metal construction work. until one day i almost lost my left hand. makes you think twice if working fast with those machines is worth it, especially when you want to keep playing the guitar. edit: i forgot to insert "for a shit salary", losing your hand for bs. thank God in the netherlands we have good surgeons and my fingers got healed nicely.

It is always interesting to look at production with molten metal - and when they manage to throw more carbon there, they don’t show it - but why the Chinese woman fastened a bucket to her ass is a mystery - only one thing comes to mind
