u/Make_some Aug 26 '21

Throttle on the left, flight controls stick on the right. HUD in the middle.

Point. And shoot. We tried to always make it that simple.

u/Slimh2o Aug 26 '21

Op went and done it now. unions gonna be pissed showing off trade secrets like this

11

u/Make_some Aug 26 '21

Guarana and iPhone chargers.

1

u/nill0c Aug 27 '21

The only trade secret I’d be interested in is odor management.

u/brosjd ​ Aug 26 '21

Ready for some mf steel battalion on this mf garbage truck

u/PunchDrunken Aug 26 '21

This whole response chain is my new favorite thing, thank you guys

2

u/LincolnHosler Aug 26 '21

No, don’t. Soooo many buttons I really, really want to press.

u/scheru Aug 27 '21

SIR YOU ARE MAKING A SCENE.

u/Glittering-Doctor-47 Aug 26 '21

😅😂🤣😂🤣

u/poopellar Aug 26 '21

You overestimate the mod's concerns over posts' relevancy to the sub.

77

u/BRAX7ON Aug 26 '21

But what about comments? Surely they patrol the comment section making sure no one is overly interested?!?!

6

u/Dark3evee Aug 26 '21

Then make sure you aren't on the top comments!

5

u/MisallocatedRacism Aug 26 '21

And no awards! It draws their ire!

2

u/ruskuval Aug 27 '21

Stop asking so many questions! It looks suspicious!

10

u/TayCuTo Aug 26 '21

Do you think they midly care about anything here?

u/armpit_enthusiast_ Aug 26 '21

Hey Beavis

u/BRAX7ON Aug 26 '21

Hank Hill says hi!

u/brickyardjimmy Aug 26 '21

This comment is more r/notinteresting.

2

u/Ryujin_Kurogami Aug 26 '21

So, the mods are mildly interested in keeping things relevant?

1

u/A_L_A_M_A_T Aug 26 '21

You can always make you own sub though and mod it the way you want it

1

u/fuckmeuntilicecream Aug 26 '21

Love the username

1

u/Box-o-bees Aug 26 '21

Sounds like something Captain Holt would say lol.

1

u/kafromet Aug 26 '21

I’m modestly interested.

1

u/ExceedinglyGayParrot Aug 26 '21

I'm firmly Quite interested. Don't ban me, mods

1

u/Spartan-182 Aug 26 '21

Sir. Sir! You need to calm the fuck down.

1

u/VoodooManchester Aug 26 '21

You’re not the one who needs to be banned! The OP was OFF TOPIC by posting things that were dangerously interesting. Ban! Ban! Ban!

1

u/E420CDI Aug 26 '21

Quite Interested

Sandi Toksvig and Alan Davies have entered the chat

1

u/FoldOne586 Aug 26 '21

You don't get banned for that. The mods come to your house and execute you.

1

u/Love_asweetbooty Aug 26 '21

Better be careful, those basement dwellers love banning people for anything. It’s the only “power” they have in their lives.

1

u/ChainOut Aug 26 '21

Take it down about 30% there squirrly dan

99

u/echoAwooo Aug 26 '21

Dare I be the one to say it?

This is interesting.

26

u/nightpanda893 Aug 26 '21

I need a post with all the buttons labeled.

18

u/Pm-ur-butt Aug 26 '21

Yes. I'm mildly interested in knowing what the Gatorade button does.

EDIT: added "mildly" as per law

4

u/peromp Aug 26 '21

Obviously, it dispenses Gatorade

1

u/joejill Aug 27 '21

I agree because I think I see a Gatorade button.

43

u/brickyardjimmy Aug 26 '21

As the passenger seat is entirely devoted to a space shuttle command control, I think it smashed right through mild interest into full-on, mega interest.

12

u/kemiller Aug 26 '21

That’s a second drivers seat.

6

u/HostileHippie91 Aug 26 '21

Looks like there is a passenger seat on the other side. Or at least, a standing area. There’s another joystick on the far side not reachable from the driver’s side.

3

u/brickyardjimmy Aug 26 '21

This continues to get more and more interesting!

6

u/godikus Aug 26 '21

There is also a second steering wheel?!

3

u/brickyardjimmy Aug 26 '21

So interesting!!

2

u/nill0c Aug 27 '21

So it can still be operated by one person and they don’t have to get out into traffic.

2

u/dulehns Aug 26 '21

Usually recycle trucks are set up like this, don’t have guys on the back throwing trash, the driver has to get out and grab bins.

2

u/paradox1984 Aug 26 '21

Almost looks like the top of a beer can but probably just a energy drink.

2

u/brickyardjimmy Aug 26 '21

Very interesting observation!

1

u/RavenRA Aug 26 '21

Something similar to 'guarana' iscribed on the rim.

2

u/Heykidsitsme Aug 27 '21

Lol that is for when the driver is in a neighborhood that has cans he can stand up and drive ...they are also equipped with a full right hand drive

1

u/brickyardjimmy Aug 27 '21

Which is very interesting and cool!

3

u/dewdrive101 Aug 26 '21

Tbf almost anything posted on this sub is more interesting then r/interestingasfuck

2

u/[deleted] Aug 26 '21

My Reddit experience became better without that sub anyway

2

u/Etrigone Aug 26 '21

Yeah, definitely. This is borderline "I'm piloting a mech" type environment.

2

u/lukefive Aug 26 '21

Right? I had no idea garbage trucks had a space shuttle interior

2

u/Belazriel Aug 26 '21

A similar image some time ago from a truck driver received a comment from the late u/PeterMayhew and sparked a string of similar posts showing the various control panels people work with in their vehicles.

1

u/exodendritic Aug 26 '21

'mildlyinterestingasfuck'?

1

u/ComradeKeira Aug 26 '21

Yeah this was my first thought, this is definitely highly interesting

1

u/weezulusmaximus Aug 27 '21

My 4 year old, garbage truck obsessed, son would find this fascinating and more than mildly interesting. We’ve had garbage truck themed birthday parties the last two years and he wakes me up early every Monday to watch the truck pick up our trash. Says he wants to be a garbage man when he grows up. I’m definitely showing him this post.
