casmael,

Is there something to get here or is it…… just a guy upset that he has been handed the wrong tool

3 archaic : a lewd or promiscuous woman : a female prostitute

winch:

2: a crank with a handle for giving motion to a machine (such as a grindstone)

casmael,

I’m retarded I read it as winch / wrench, and got the wrong end of the far side as usual 🤦‍♂️

sugar_in_your_tea,

No worries, it’s easy to misread, and I do it all the time. Hopefully it helps the next person. 😀

MD756,

Reminds me of the time when my uncle asked me to go get the dolly from his garage. I, being a kid and having no context for why he’d need a dolly, spent a few minutes in his garage but eventually returned with a Barbie doll still in its box. Fortunately, my uncle just chuckled, clasped my shoulder, and went to the garage to get his dolly so he could move his laundry machine. I often remember that day as a lesson in humility.

what’s a dolly then? some kind of skateboard, right?

TeryVeneno,

A dolly is a wheeled tool for moving heavy stuff. They come in various shapes and sizes. They generally look something like this https://lemmy.ml/pictrs/image/c67483e0-2d4d-4d1d-ab57-632bfb65da58.jpeg

That’s a wheely transporter

Grabthar,

No, I believe that is a lifty-shifty.

Traegert,
TeryVeneno,

Wheely transporter? Everyone I’ve ever known has always called these “dollies”. Maybe it’s just an American thing. Also I actually looked up dolly to get this image.

SomeoneSomewhere,

We’d call that a sack barrow on NZ, usually. I’d think of a dolly as being four wheels.

what’s the name of that thing that mechanics lie on to slide under cars?

elmicha,

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Creeper_(tool) (I copied your question into Google).

TeryVeneno,

Not sure, the thing they use to lift it is a car jack but what they lie on? Not sure

the_crotch,

It’s an American millennial thing. From the folks who brought you boaty mcboatface and heckin puppers, it’s the “half of our humor is using babytalk out of context” generation

OlinOfTheHillPeople,
LemmyKnowsBest,

Whoa, why are the wheels all clustered together and tilted 45° diagonal?

sukhmel,

Probably to allow for a heavier load (clustered) and for keeping the dolly on rails (tilted) although the rails seem proprietary, not something you find just everywhere

Diplomjodler,

Guy returns with a wrench. Gets beheaded.

Unforeseen,
sukhmel,

Gets bi-headed instead, that guy is just bad with specifics
