If that's not part of the joke, it should be.

I laughed way too hard at that

That kid is clearly about to get hit by the train too.

PSA: Stay at minimum 10ft/3m away from the edge of the rail ties to avoid being hit by a passing train. Trains can extend further out than the rail by almost a full metre.

What are the other two metres for then?

[–] Rentlar@lemmy.ca 8 points 1 year ago

Hey that's a fair question you pose. If you were to fall forward due to tripping, losing your balance from a gust of wind as the train passes or whatever, your head wouldn't be taken as a souvenir for the train.

And since I want this advice to gauge agnostic, and different areas will have different standards for maximum rolling stock dimensions, the buffer will account for almost anything someone would be likely to encounter at crossings.

The extra two meters are to ensure you don't get kicked by the conductor: https://youtu.be/o4sL4v9LY7c

I hate them conductors with the six foot legs.

This always gets me

In the past few weeks, Clayton Bigsby has finally accepted that he is a black man. And just three days ago, he filed for divorce from his wife. When asked why, after nineteen years of marriage, he replied, "Because she's a n***er lover."
