Leave some puss for the rest of us.

I can't do a wheelie in my commuter machine.

[-] CrimeIsLegalNow@ani.social 29 points 1 day ago

Claims to be dull, is popping a sick wheelie.

OP’s next post:

I flipped my new mower. :(

[-] Aussiemandeus@aussie.zone 26 points 2 days ago

Nah i tried hard haha needed to make sure it's safe you know

You gotta! So what was your longest wheelie on it?

[-] Aussiemandeus@aussie.zone 10 points 1 day ago

Got about 4 meters. I think with some practice could go further maybe.

Being zero turn, when the front comes up i fall away from the handles as it all leans back causing me to come off the acceleration. So getting the balance is hard

[-] Bluewing@lemmy.world 19 points 2 days ago

As an old medic. It's been my experience if you do tip/roll one of those larger mowers, you don't get to post about it.

****I did 2 fatality calls like that.

[-] ArchAengelus@lemmy.dbzer0.com 3 points 1 day ago

Also, OPs mower doesn’t appear to have a roll bar, so if it rolls on him, it’s not getting off until it’s done.

A roll bar would keep it so you only get to lay on your back when you flip, instead of the mower sitting on your head.

[-] Bluewing@lemmy.world 1 points 1 day ago

Yeah RoHOPs are required in the US. But with the pretty flat terrain in OP's picture, he's about as safe as one can get. Those zero turns are quite wide and stable. It's the lawn tractors and mini tractors like my 1023r that can be more dangerous. They have a fairly narrow width and don't do well on side hills.

[-] Aussiemandeus@aussie.zone 10 points 1 day ago

Yeah missed a trick didn't have my akubra on unfortunately since I wanted to mow with my noise cancelling headphones on and they don't fit over it like they do a cap

[-] Enzy@feddit.nu 10 points 2 days ago

Fair dinkum

Imagine if it grew it instead. Be a waste of money then

[-] fakeman_pretendname@feddit.uk 8 points 1 day ago

I'd love to have a big enough garden to cut the grass with a cool little lawn-mowing car thingy.

I cut my grass by hand with what basically amounts to "a big pair of scissors" :)

[-] CrimeIsLegalNow@ani.social 9 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago)

I have a friend who did it with a scythe for the excercise and definitely not because of his high school goth phase coming back out.

And then he got a mower because he realized the muscle powered past sucks, actually, engines are great.

[-] horsesaysweird@feddit.org 2 points 1 day ago

Using a scythe (scything?) is awesome. It takes some time to figure out, but once you do it is extremely satisfying and actually not very exhausting. The hard part is keeping the damn thing sharp.

[-] fakeman_pretendname@feddit.uk 5 points 1 day ago

Oh, I fully support a powered mower, it's just where I live now has less than 2m² of grass :)

[-] Aussiemandeus@aussie.zone 2 points 1 day ago

Yeah i never used too until i moved an hour from town its about 60 kms so lands cheap

In this house we stand for the national anthem

[-] Aussiemandeus@aussie.zone 8 points 2 days ago

Fuck thats a great song haha

[-] altphoto@lemmy.today 12 points 2 days ago

I think the shades, the mustache and the rest of the guy fit very well as a full character. Could be a game, movie, video, photo.

The picture proves this isn't dull. Checkmate?

[-] Aussiemandeus@aussie.zone 8 points 2 days ago

Yeah but it's mowing grass and I feel that fits in

[-] FauxLiving@lemmy.world 6 points 1 day ago

The zero turns are a ton of fun. Just buy some extra bearings for the front wheels, everyone loves lifting the front wheels off the ground, nobody loves the front wheels getting all loose and flappy. They're usually easy to replace though.

[-] Aussiemandeus@aussie.zone 4 points 1 day ago

Yeah luckily I'm a diesel mechanic so fixing shit is my forte,

Im also "responsible" so probably won't be doing any more wheelies.

Just wanted to make sure I couldn't flip. Just in case the boy gets on it and works out the controls before he's responsible enough. But let's be serious he won't be until he's 30 cause I sure as shit am only barely there haha

[-] lessthanluigi@lemmy.sdf.org 12 points 2 days ago

Dude's popping wheelies for us

[-] JustPlainDave@lemmy.zip 2 points 1 day ago

You might ought to raise the deck a little. Ain't no grass left.

[-] Aussiemandeus@aussie.zone 2 points 1 day ago

Was none really anyway, we're in the dry season its all mostly dead.

There were some tall bits but rains are coming so I wanted to cut them fling the seeds etc and get some spread hopefully.

The ground is more rock then anything too, so maybe next year get some top soil but see how the run off goes this year

[-] trk@aussie.zone 5 points 2 days ago

Hustler?

Seems overkill for what looks like maybe 4m² of grass in a paddock of dirt and dust mind you.

[-] Aussiemandeus@aussie.zone 4 points 1 day ago

Yeah hustler,

We're at the end of our dry season, and haven't really had rain in 5 months.

By there end of next month it all be growing.

There's 4 other paddocks to get done too

An unofficial chapter of the popular Dull Men's Club.

https://dullmensclub.com/

1. Relevant commentary on your own dull life. Posts should be about your own dull, lived experience. This is our most important rule. Direct questions, random thoughts, comment baiting, advice seeking, many uses of "discuss" rarely comply with this rule.

2. Original, Fresh, Meaningful Content.

3. Avoid repetitive topics.

4. This is not a search engine
Use a search engine, a tradesperson, Reddit, friends, a specialist Facebook group, apps, Wikipedia, an AI chat, a reverse image search etc. to answer simple questions or identify objects. Also see rule 1, “comment baiting”.

There are a number of content specific communities with subject matter experts who can help you.

Some other communities to consider before posting:

5. Keep it dull. If it puts us to sleep, it’s on the right track. Examples of likely not dull: jokes, gross stuff (including toes), politics, religion, royalty, illness or injury, killing things for fun, or promotional content. Feel free to post these elsewhere.

6. No hate speech, sexism, or bullying No sexism, hate speech, degrading or excessively foul language, or other harmful language. No othering or dehumanizing of anyone or negativity towards any gender identity.

7. Proofread before posting. Use good grammar and punctuation. Avoid useless phrases. Some examples: - starting a post with "So" - starting a post with pointless phrases, like "I hope this is allowed" or “this is my first post” Only share good quality, cropped images. Do not share screenshots of images; share the original image.
