That sounds extremely plausible.

More like the focus group thought the masks were “super gay fauci shit” so home depot went with “guy wearing $2 safety glasses that don’t even have a dust seal”

The guys on the bottom are just weak. Can't even handle a tiny bit of isolation inside them.

This dudes hands in the end of the day

Crematoriums hate this one trick!

Yeah fam if you haven't already you should get your lungs screened. Asbestos and insulation can cause some really bad stuff

Mineral wool is quite safe. Some of the old stuff (pre-1960s) had asbestos or problems with being flammable but the new stuff gets checked for size and how much fiber goes into the air and so on (the answer is very little). Like paint it is one of the things that harmed people and science and regulation got us better products.

That dude's hands are gonna itch though.

Single use plastics meet single use workers.

lights a dart, inhales: "Don't be a pussy, kid"

I'm glad people are talking about what a bullshit trash hole of an ad platform that site is. but it definitely would be funny if OP blacked out the brands in the image just out of spite

It’s ok, you can say Reddit.

The bunks are full on Saturday morning because they fill them up after closing on Friday/ before opening Saturday. It's much harder to close aisles on the weekend to pull down another bundle than it is when the store is closed. Source: I worked lumber/building materials for 1.5 years.

Now, given the economy and the cost of a 2x4, yeah less people are building.

The boards suck because quality has dropped significantly in the 10 years or so. This vid gets into detail as to why.

Some people just have big hands. Looks real to me, it's obviously just a staged shot for promotion. Get a crew to build part of a fake attic (don't need a whole attic for this), lay some insulation, have the talent (the guy in the photo) hold the insulation and look nice for photos. He leaves, they break it down and move on to the next project

One of the founders is a hardcore Trump guy, but he's not part of the company anymore. The company itself splits its donations between Democrats and Republicans. (That's one of the tricks of a two party system. You can split your donation in half and win either way.)

They're not overly Christian the way Jimmy Johns or Chick-fil-A are.

fellas is it gay to not die

Lol, I got yelled at for wasting time cause I went back down to get a scrap piece of board and some knee pads. After really slowing down an hour in, he went down and did the same. What's the point of buying stuff that helps you work easier and faster if you're not gonna use it?

It's fine. Any detrimental effects are cumulative. Unless you are a serious DIYer or professional, you have nothing to worry about.

Ever since learning, as a kid, that insulation is microscopic needles of glass, I see it with the same disgust as seeing parasites. Same disgust of microscopic things invading your body and causing damage and not leaving..

Can't tell if the pic is AI or not, but your point stands and applies to a much larger issue with the slop being generated at a death-spiral pace across the internet.

Most of the people trying to replicate "stock photos" on the cheap have no clue what the subject is about or how it should look, so if some South Tanzanian family decide to make a few bucks pumping out content with help of their local internet cafe, they can generate the most professional pictures of people doing all kinds of activities. Pictures which get picked up by someone else somewhere else who is trying to make a guide or informational content, again for a few fast bucks. And this story repeats at all levels of human society at all levels because of capitalism. Every time, something is lost, some detail missed, some cultural context glossed over, and this is how we lose human history.

And eventually, inevitably, one way or another, humans.
