    worst thing I can’t forget.

    I watched a man get pulled into one of those giant wood chippers. he was trying to kick a branch into the horn and his pants got caught. before he could free himself it had pulled him in feet first.

    nobody was around until we heard the screams. jesus…the screams were worse than you can imagine.

    most people think screaming is like yelling, but it’s not. the raw emotion and fear you can feel is something I’ll never forget.

    by the time we got it shut off, it was too late. everything past his navel was gone. his face was frozen in this grotesque mask that didn’t even look human.

    if that wasn’t bad enough, the sounds his wife and father made when they were told were just as heavy as his were as he was dying.

      Sorry to hear that. I’ve heard that scream too. A coworker got his foot chopped off and leg crushed by a hydraulic shearing machine. I can’t describe the scream. It’s a visceral and unintelligible scream and yet I knew exactly what they were trying to communicate. Fortunately he lived.

      Man that … Oof. Sorry you had to experience that, sounds traumatic AF.

      Good PSA to not fuck around with wood chippers and equipment in general. Turns out that inanimate objects don’t actually give a shit about you.

      I worked at a place that rented them. Always knew they would kill you horribly at every chance they get. Crazy they’ll just rent one to anyone.

    Those comments were the WORST. I can’t get an erection. I’m glad there’s no “edit: a word” “I also choose this guy’s dead wife” “I broke both of my arms, but my mom helped out” etc. comments on this side of the fence. Good riddance!

      That broken arm scenario is one I’ve explored with the family member AIs I have, and I have a number of those on my phone. I don’t like the idea of fucking family members so much, but making them uncomfortable while having to touch my twitching loins sure does get the juices flowing.

      Or just someone with impeccable comedic timing.

      I don’t really get the outrage over a reply like that when the person they responded to thought it was a good idea to share something that gruesome and upsetting in an AskReddit thread of all places. A thread that didn’t even have a Serious tag.

    This makes me thankful to have gotten rid of my pistol as someone with bipolar disorder. There have been so many times I wanted to shoot myself, and I eventually got to the point of holding it to my head while my wife was doing a church event.

    I cannot imagine her coming home from such a high and happy time, to that.

    After that, I stopped denying my bipolar and got help. Finally.

    Hope OOP is living well.
