Amazing.

I used to be a programmer and now I fix cars professionally, I feel like half of my professional life has been gazing upon some ancient work of dark magic and cussing loudly because I know I'm about to have to go in.
The line between jank and wizardry is sometimes blurry. The best magic has a little bit of jank in it, and the worst jank is sometimes a little bit magical.
Gazing upon skill beyond your comprehension: How the fuck does this work?
Gazing at unholy fuckery: How the fuck does this WORK?

I find it highly unlikely that Clark Gable is on social media as that he has been deceased since 1960 long before the invention of the internet. What I think is taking place is someone is posing as Clark Gable to malign his slovenly neighbour. Clark Gable was a great actor and probably why Superman was named Clark and if he were alive today he would continue to make great films but it is also highly unlikely that Clark would live beside a trashcan.
As George Washington once said, never believe what´s on the internet.

If your country had the German Pfand system where you pay 25 cent more per can and get it back if you return it, this would be expensive....

We have that in Ontario, and as a kid my cub/scout troop would go around town and ask people to give us their empties as a fundraiser. We'd return them and use the money to buy camping supplies and stuff.

That looks like my play through of a fallout game. For some reason it amuses me to no end to make a random, huge pile of found alcohol, in game.
I’m humbled by this man doing it in real life.

They do deposit returns where I live. So you get them cents back for every can. There are people that make a couple of hundred bucks a month picking cans out of the ditches. There's like what? $50 in this picture? Either way he could have those gone in an hour for free if he knows a homeless person.

Hey buddy! We never did this in scouts but that's such a good idea. When I was in college my roommates and I could have used such a service. I actually just posted that there are people making a living off of combing the ditches and parks for empties. Bottle/can returns is a whole economy.

In Mexico City people would bring plastic bags with them and return glass bottles immediately, and just drink Coke out of plastic bags with a straw.

They do not do deposit returns here anymore, but even so, most neighborhoods I've lived, people come look through the recycling for aluminum cans to scrap. So I would set them on the side in a tote instead, it was always such old people, moving slowly down the road with a rolling cart. This neighborhood is apparently too bougie for that, even though as far as I can tell we still are never more than 2 blocks from at least one homeless person.

Coca Cola(tm) and Micro Plastics(tm) are a match made in heaven.

How does that happen, if you don't mind me asking?

Lost my job around 2017 and it was real difficult to get a new one in the tech sector without a college degree. I lucked in to the one originally through professional connections. No such luck the next time after I got downsized.
So I ended up working at my local auto parts store to make ends meet in the meantime, and figured out that I actually really like fixing cars. It exercises the same sort of problem solving capacity but the problems you solve are usually a little less arcane. Made a few new connections including a guy who worked at an actual garage, got offered a position at that garage if I wanted it, and the rest is history.
I still dabble in programming as a hobby, but I enjoy working with my hands and the feeling of fixing a physical object is more fulfilling to me than fixing software. So here I stay (for now).

Well, if it was out of an aluminum can, it would already have microplastics from the plastic liner inside every can

Reminds me of my hermit uncle who used to clean the beer cans off of his floor with a rake before we would come visit.
I bet that smelled fantastic.

I finally have a use for one of those empty houses in Sanctuary. I'm going to try and fill it.
Thank you random internet human.

if it's jank, and it works, it ain't jank.
If it's jank and it works, it's jank and you're lucky

I used to collect cans over the summer with the high school soccer teams to raise money. There's more than fitty there
