#but also gimme a break people joke about sticking their hands in the machinery all the time it's fine it's a joke

[inverse-problem]

lmao can't believe I forgot that people will just take jokes to their obvious conclusion here and also that not everyone is used to just being able to walk 2 minutes from where they live and stand beside an active construction site (this is re: my robot sex construction site joke post lol). I mean obv lots of people are also joking but I sure hope people don't think I'm literally recommending people to just wander onto a random construction site. because uh, don't do that. stay outside the barricades, they're up there for a reason

for context there's so much construction where I live that I walk right beside at least 2 active construction sites on my way to work. because I live in a densely built-up city area, it's literally impossible to avoid. obviously I stay outside the barricades and I do not linger if they're doing something loud because I value my hearing. but sometimes I get to see cool shit like when they use an excavator with a drill attachment, or when a crane lifts something big up onto a skyscraper, or when there's a huge hole in the ground, etc. it's cool when you gradually see a building go up in a place you pass by regularly and then suddenly there's just a building there. that catches me by surprise sometimes

there was one year where I was woken up every weekday at 7 am by the noise of reversing trucks and the like because there was a large active construction site directly beside where I lived. now for a few years there's been a construction site directly beside where I live, but thankfully on a different side of the block, so at least that one isn't audible to me when it would be bothersome lol. so anyway I guess what I'm saying is if you want to hear construction noise then try to visit your nearest moderately-large or larger city (if there's one in your area) because then you can walk by plenty of construction sites (safely outside of whatever barricades they've set up, for fuck's sake). or just watch some videos online
