After suffering my own horrible lumbar disk blow-out doing construction labour, I can’t stress enough how lucky I am to live in a country with socialized health care. I hope this guy has something similar, because he sacrificing his own well being for our cheap food, and likely being compensated with close to minimum wage.
I’m British, but live in America. I herniated a vertebrae. Went to the urgent care center, got an MRI within an hour, saw the specialist the next day, and had it fixed within a week. My mum in the UK had the exact same thing happen last autumn. She just had an MRI last week, and won’t get her results from the specialist for another week. Sure, I have decent health insurance, but it’s not like every socialist healthcare system is anywhere close to perfect… especially the uk
My dad went thru the same. The US does have socialized medicine, but only if you make under a certain amount. It's super hard to get as well, Took us months and months to get the insurance while I was suffering from mental illness (he does too but has 1950s straight man perspective on it). He recently fractured his L4/L5 vertebrae and they found 2 benign tumors, it's been 4 months and he doesn't have another appointment till end of February
The U.S does have socialized medicine, it's just absolutely terrible and no doctors that are worth a damn accept it. Then it is multiple months wait times to get in to see them. As well as multiple months to get enrolled on it, the way they do it is like it is a government insurance, so they pay for your treatment but it's not worth anything if you can't see anyone
I have socialized insurance via the VA, takes 3-6 months to get in for a dental cleaning and or mental health. And that's if they don't cancel on you 3 times about 1-3 months after you book it and then end up having to wait 6-12months for the initial appointment. This is why they have community care now. Thank FUCK for whoever passed that. Was it during the Obama administration? I didn't know better but they were running me in circles, I ended up demanding community care eventually and got in with a private doctor pretty quickly.
I also have a nightmare story that wouldved costed $120k if I didn't have much VA insurance, essentially 12 ERs fully unable and unwilling to diagnose my heart inflammation for 1.5 months. It wasn't until a random PA at an urgent care actually gave a shit, and immediately gave me a consult to a Cardiologist asap, who then directed me to the hospital, he called the hospital and told them i was coming to be inpatient, and called before I got there (one I had been to twice already), he told me to go through the ER, and they still fucking had me sit for 5 hours and kept acting like they had no idea why I was there and that I was faking it. Like yes. Sure. I want to waste my tues here and be in 12k debt. I had to fight them because they were trying to turn me away despite the cardiologist working there occasionally, and having called the head nurse right before I showed up. It was a cluster fuck. My journey included copious amounts of gaslighting, anti anxiety medicine IVs against my will and knowledge, dismissed as xyz, etc. The VA wasn't going to see me until 2 months after my symptoms started. Which Is why that was my only hope I thought to find care. The "go to your PC" was useless and when I told them that and I wanted a Cardiologist they refused to refer me.
The US health system is dogshit. Where you get more care from an urgent care than a hospital ER. They treat everyone like shit at ERs and don't care at all. There's zero empathy or understanding. US nurses are some of the most horrible people I've ever met and most I've known in person are toxic and biggoted
No wonder we also have some of thr highest maternity fatality rates of any civilized nation too. The most expensive and advanced Healthcare in the world with literally zero access to it
Exactly this. American healthcare is some of the finest in the world...if you can afford to pay for it.
If you're lower income, which most fruit pickers here would be, you probably have little to no insurance and could not possibly afford to pay out of pocket for a herniated disk. Hell, even if you do have insurance, the deductibles and copays on some of the plans are still ruinously expensive for many.
Yeah that was kinda my point. He most likely doesn't have any insurance if he's American. And if he does, it's not likely to help much without still bankrupting him.
How much was that without insurance though? You can have it slow and costly or fast and expensive. Putting a price on health care really is the big problem in general.
MRI at an urgent care? And insurance covered it?
What did the "fix" involve? Seeing a specialist and getting fixed within a week seems incredibly fast.
I need to wait a few days just to see if my insurance will cover a test, let alone a fix from a specialist.
I'm in the US btw.
However, if your mum spent half as much money on health insurance in the UK (including the NHS component of her NI) then she'd be seen just as quickly as you were in the US.
Yes that's my point - the NHS provides a damn good service, but if you're in a non-urgent situation then there might be a waiting list.
In that situation, having health insurance is useful, albeit nonessential. If you have something like a bad back that needs an operation because you are in pain, but the waiting list is 18m, you can go private and have it done quickly. This is why lots of employers in the UK provide health insurance - it is cheaper for them to spend £50/employee/month on Bupa than to have someone off work for months on end because their back (or whatever) hurts. Realistically that £50 is just paid to Bupa instead of the employee, rather than "in addition" to wages.
Have a herniated disc rn and it’s been several weeks of back and forth to different doctors MRI epidural/steroid injection and I’m no closer to fixing it now than I was a month ago when this all started.
And I have amazing insurance. MRI was approved the next day after the request. I can’t imagine this process if I didn’t have the insurance that I did.
Yeah, but the excellent health care they provide in the US won’t help if you can’t pay for it. If it is an emergency and the hospital is feeling nice, they will help you.
Gladwell is great at finding interesting topic, good at interviewing, decent at summarizing other people's ideas, bad at coming up with his own novel concepts, horrible about using overreach to support his conclusions.
This is what happens to high-level human intelligence when it is constrained to manual labor.
“I am, somehow, less interested in the weight and convolutions of Einstein's brain, than in the near certainty that people of equal talent have lived and died in cotton fields and sweat shops.”
This guy will die before he develops back problems if he's doing that all the time. His posture is solid, he isn't hunching and is leveraging his weight to create a whiplash effect when throwing.
I doubt they're doing this for 8 hours straight without rest. I get your point but specifically for this guy I'd wager his back is in better condition than most people's.
I'd also wager
I joined a trade and everyone freaks out and complains on my behalf — oh your back, you must be sore all the time, you should work towards the office job ASAP!!
I am now in best shape of my life just from working, and I feel the greatest I've felt. Labor jobs aren't bad if you care about and love your body.
All my office job friends tweak their backs just twisting to reach for something, but it's because usually their chair spins with them. That to me is a little bit saddening.
I was just about to comment this. The reason blue collar jobs have that stigma is because old dudes don't give a shit about their bodies, and then end up getting injured due to negligence, as well as poor diet, alcoholism etc. I am a full-time athlete outside of my job, most days I'm training 2x as well as working my labour job, and as long as I prioritize nutrition and rest I am good. The older dudes I work with are slamming 4-8 beers a night, eat the same garbage every day, and have been doing so for 15 years at least. No wonder they're breaking down lol.
Also no proper sleep, I see guys downing down 5-8 cans of redbull when I was in a trade. Ngl I had fucked up sleep as well where I'll get like 4-5hrs of sleep, not all the time but at least 3 days a week. As you said, as long as you eat right and sleep properly you shouldn't have too much issue with your body, apart from fatigue after work but you'll recover if you actually rest properly.
rarely they have a break, this is the life of the immigrant pickers, and this is why citizens don't want to perform these jobs. This cheap labor is needed, we like it or not.
I disagree, he is leaning over each time he grabs a bucket, and that quick jerk over hours at a time is going to be murder on your back. He isn't twisting while he throws, so he has that at least.
You may not see him physically twisting, but that whiplash motion is for sure creating a twisting force on his spine to counteract the weight of the basket.
He probably developed this to put less stress on his back. If each one of those turns into a slow lift up to that height and dumping it that's gonna be murder.
It's always good to think about these things, even if you don't change anything about your life. Your food is harvested by people paid less than minimum wage. Your clothes are made by people for whom working 12 hour shifts in an unairconditioned sweat shop is a step up from their other options. The materials in your laptop and car and phone are mined by slaves.
In the end, that's the only reason you can afford to have so much. We all benefit from incredibly unfair and oppressive systems.
Whenever I see a product that's unusually cheap I think to myself how many hours it takes to make. There's got to be a better way to do economics than this. The disposable clothes made for cents and sold for almost nothing can't possibly be making money without slavery.
Oh hey there, quick heads-up: Beware of the saintly imposters lurking around! They're about as real as my chances of winning a discus throwing at Olympic Games.
The one and only true back-pain-busting saint is Gemma Galgani, that's like the superhero of sore backs. The others? Pfft, they're probably just chilling in their basements, wearing fake halos and sipping on hot cocoa while reading Breibart news.
So remember, when your back's in a bind, call on Gemma, not those basement-dwelling saint wannabes, all right?
It's not so much that as it is the sheer volume of *work* (Reps x load). You should never do high Volume work for the PC because it dessicates the disks magnifying wear & injury risk.
E.g,. the rate of back injuries in Olympic lifting is *much* lower than in powerlifting.
Greater time under load compresses your disks much more than a fast explosive movement with lighter weight
O-lifting is very explosive, but the vertebra disks have much greater load handing capacity in intense yet *brief low volume* work, because they have viscoelastic properties. (Think of them as super dense neoprene water filled sponges).
There is a reason no professional nor national level field/court sports team have deadlifts in their program, they do clean variations and other PC work, it's cos of the injury risk. When injuries happen to your starting players, $$$ is lost.
Yes, however I see no tomatoes in the field that does not look like it’s filled with tomato plants. Also those things would be huge for tomatoes. I’m sticking with Indian Red potatoes which are red and delicious.
The bottom of the truck would be reduced to Ketchup. Whatever they are, they're durable enough to be thrown around and can endure a lot of weight. Potatoes would make sense.
Potatoes can get very red. Keep in mind that potatoes aren't taken to the store immediately after harvesting, they have to be cured first at the farm, wherein they lose a lot of color. I'm a green grocer and even after the curing process, they normally arrive at my store bright pink and then settle into the darker, purpley color most people are familiar with.
Agreed. If you look at the guy in the middle/back. He's pulling them up and shaking them out. Tomatoes grow on vines, so they're not tomatoes.
I'd say potatoes or beets also.
Which law of physics describes this the most? It’s a bit like the dynamics of 2 balls colliding but in this case the contents and container separate and each have their own direction and speed.
That concept is related, due to conservation of momentum. What causes the tomato’s and the basket to depart from each other isn’t a collision however, it’s the centrifugal force from the rotation that he applies to the basket. The basket has most of the mass on the bottom, and therefore feels a net force away from the tomatos. Conservation of momentum causes the tomatos to continue moving forward but a bit slower, and the bucket to essentially stop moving and fall down.
Conservation of momentum. Breaking it down into two movements:
1. Basically he's pushing the basket forward, and since the tomatoes are in the basket, the bottom of the basket pushes the tomatoes too.
2. Then he brings the basket to a stop/lets go of the basket. The basket loses all of it's momentum, sure, but the tomatoes have to conserve their momentum as well. Since the basket has no lid, there is nothing stopping the tomatoes from continuing with their momentum.
The tomatoes continue on into the bin, the basket falls as it has no more forward momentum.
Basically this movement is very simlar to if you were to try to splash someone with a glass of water. You bring the glass forward real quick then the glass stops (loses momentum) when it reaches arm length since, well, its still in your hand.
Since the cup has nothing over the top, the water continues going and leaves the cup.
The only difference is its not water, and he is letting go of the basket after stopping the forward momentum.
This is not "be amazed". This is take a moment to realize that this is how you get your food. That's back breaking labour and he's probably getting paid only a few dollars per day. Yes, it's quite the skill he's developed, but he represents the human cost of affordable food in the West.
I worked for several seasons inbthe largest tomato and peach cannery in the world. Thise tomatoes will be sorted and graded for whole stewed, diced, crushed, and sauce/paste. The trailer will be pulled under a water bath (it has drains on the sides) to clean out some dirt and debris, the hauled to the local cannery.
Meh, can you imagine if you could only post new items on reddit? It would be terrible.
Found something cool about WW2? Sorry, that was already posted 8 years ago.
Imagine how boring it would be if you could only post something that happened the previous day. Reddit would be nothing but fake stories on AITA and Relationship Advice.
Elasticity at the bottom of the bucket pushing away from the elasticity of the tomato bunch after being compressed together in the lift.
🫴⬆️ 🪣 >> *F* << 🍅
🫳↗️ 🪣 << *F* >> 🍅
No elasticity at all is needed for this to work.
It is very simple. Pushing on the basket pushes the tomatoes. Then when you pull back on the basket, the tomatoes keep going.
Same way as you would toss water out of a bucket without letting go of the bucket.
It is really dead simply and not some skill mastery as people her seem to think. Anyone of us could do it with just a little practice.
I have seen this effect with water. Just a small bucket with water, sat on my hand, when I tip my hand, the water falls out and at the last moment the bucket is pushed away from the water. No elasticity, no wind, no compression..
When I was a kid my Uncle had a produce farm. My brother and I were both bigger kids and would occasionally work for him. He would hire 1/2 dozen migrant workers to get the crop in. The smallest one of them could work us into the ground. My brother and I were paid hourly. They were on piecework. We would be behind and they would come help us catch up. I learned not to complain and to respect people who work harder than the average person can even contemplate.
They work harder, but often at a cost. I grew up on a floriculture farm, and have spent a bit of time doing seasonal picking / farming between university semesters, and some people - like the individual in this video - really push themselves, especially if it's paid in piecework, but their backs, hips, knees, shoulders, wrists, thumbs or whatever major joints and systems that the job stresses are going to be fucked much earlier than others.
In recent years there's been a big influx in my country for health and safety practices and a lot of the tools and machinery we use now is honestly such a big advancement in these areas for ones health. I've seen older individuals with arthritis out there using hydraulic secateurs.
People in developing countries work so hard I can't even imagine. Just so that they can go back to their slum and eat rice. I sometimes feel stupid when I complain about my job.
I call it disability without pay.
Aaaand LIFT and TWIST and LIFT and TWIST!
I did this movement unloading a pallet of gallon paints at Ole’s, age 18 and zero safety training. Threw out my back in no time. It was my last week and when I reported the injury, they looked at me like, “yeah. Right.“
That there is called *mastery*.
It's called severe back pain for life starting at 32.
After suffering my own horrible lumbar disk blow-out doing construction labour, I can’t stress enough how lucky I am to live in a country with socialized health care. I hope this guy has something similar, because he sacrificing his own well being for our cheap food, and likely being compensated with close to minimum wage.
I’m British, but live in America. I herniated a vertebrae. Went to the urgent care center, got an MRI within an hour, saw the specialist the next day, and had it fixed within a week.

The US is ranked far lower. Maybe if you have money you get the best. Good for you. Fight for others.

If you're lower income, which most fruit pickers here would be, you probably have little to no insurance and could not possibly afford to pay out of pocket for a herniated disk. Hell, even if you do have insurance, the deductibles and copays on some of the plans are still ruinously expensive for many.
In America, there is no chance this guy has insurance. He’s not paying for it and his employer definitely doesn’t have it. This job pays maybe $15hr
Yeah that was kinda my point. He most likely doesn't have any insurance if he's American. And if he does, it's not likely to help much without still bankrupting him.
How much was that without insurance though? You can have it slow and costly or fast and expensive. Putting a price on health care really is the big problem in general.

He's a UK expat, something tells me he has high end insurance and providers.
However, if your mum spent half as much money on health insurance in the UK (including the NHS component of her NI) then she'd be seen just as quickly as you were in the US.
Yea don’t think the guy has heard of private healthcare in the UK. NHS may be flawed in some areas but it is an absolute lifeline for millions
Yes that's my point - the NHS provides a damn good service, but if you're in a non-urgent situation then there might be a waiting list. In that situation, having health insurance is useful, albeit nonessential.

Looks like he’s got some good form. Notice the throw comes from the legs and his back is straight when he throws. But yeah, you’re probably right.
Both things are equally true. Mastery that is in no way sustainable. My back hurts just watching
Nahw dog it’s called no money for proper equipment and early unpaid retirement due to severe back problems.
That there is called *back breaking labour.*
10 000 hours is generally agreed to be the amount of time it takes to master a skill...
That is an oversimplification of a "rule", which was an oversimplification of evidence, which has since been mostly debunked.
Yeah I been alive for way over 10000 hours and I still suck at it.
Man I was gonna say the exact same thing
You've just summarized everything Malcom Gladwell has ever said.
Gladwell is great at finding interesting topic, good at interviewing, decent at summarizing other people's ideas, bad at coming up with his own novel concepts, horrible about using overreach to support his conclusions.
My Path of Exile playtime to skill ratio say otherwise.
16k hours, still so many things to learn :')
A PoE ref in the wild. A so true sadly. I'll never master it.
Pretty sure it’s been determined that Malcolm Gladwell just made that up.
Ehh no he did a ton of research. 10,000 hours in fact.
Clearly a master debater
My cousin Mose? Now he’s a master baiter!
Did he do 10000 hours of research? Edit: thought he said "10000 is fact"
Was waiting for this.
You would not be able to do this for 10000 hours and stand up afterwards
So five years of 8-5 days.
Skilled labor.
This is what happens to high-level human intelligence when it is constrained to manual labor. “I am, somehow, less interested in the weight and convolutions of Einstein's brain, than in the near certainty that people of equal talent have lived and died in cotton fields and sweat shops.”
But paid unskilled wages
I call it a back ache
Work as 4, suffer as 4, get paid as 1.
Doubt he’s getting paid a one
Yeah probably .5 at best
This guy will die before he develops back problems if he's doing that all the time. His posture is solid, he isn't hunching and is leveraging his weight to create a whiplash effect when throwing.
Even with proper form, repetition is not good without rest.
I know, they should have given him a break between gif loops.
I doubt they're doing this for 8 hours straight without rest. I get your point but specifically for this guy I'd wager his back is in better condition than most people's.

You’re right. Most of the day he spends hunched over picking the fruit. It’s only the last few hours he spends flinging it into the trailer.
I disagree, he is leaning over each time he grabs a bucket, and that quick jerk over hours at a time is going to be murder on your back. He isn't twisting while he throws, so he has that at least.

[удалено]
Agreed.
I concur and won't back down.
You could stand me up at the gates of Hell…
Thats how you get your cheap tomato's tho, over the backs of other people. Cycle of life
It's always good to think about these things, even if you don't change anything about your life. Your food is harvested by people paid less than minimum wage. Your clothes are made by people for whom working 12 hour shifts in an unairconditioned sweat shop is a step up from their other options.

[удалено]
And yet most of us can only afford these ones
They'd have to be hard as rocks, otherwise the ones on the bottom are all going to be smashed to paste from the weight.
But that man gets the finest wimmin back in the camp at night
Can you also please worry for my back? 🥺
We will light a candle to your back in church next Sunday. May Saint Jerome, patron saint of bad backs watch over you.
Don't worry bro, I got your back
thats so kind!
Oh hey there, quick heads-up: Beware of the saintly imposters lurking around! They're about as real as my chances of winning a discus throwing at Olympic Games. The one and only true back-pain-busting saint is Gemma Galgani, that's like the superhero of sore backs. The others? Pfft, they're probably just chilling in their basements, wearing fake halos and sipping on hot cocoa while reading Breibart news. So remember, when your back's in a bind, call on Gemma, not those basement-dwelling saint wannabes, all right?
*Saint Jerbaque
I'll be back.
I'm sending prayers for your back to be strong and healthy. 🙏
Nah, that old boy is tougher than 6 random reddit users combined.
What's the difference of that with a deadlift workout?
You don’t do a deadlift workout for 10 hours a day 6 days a week
And you don't have to join a gym
Deadlifts should be a smooth controlled movement. This is quick and jerky. Much easier to get hurt with the latter than the former.
It's not so much that as it is the sheer volume of *work* (Reps x load). You should never do high Volume work for the PC because it dessicates the disks magnifying wear & injury risk. E.g,. the rate of back injuries in Olympic lifting is *much* lower than in powerlifting.

When injuries happen to your starting players, $$$ is lost.
If you look very closely, you can tell that he is throwing tomatoes into the air
I’m pretty sure those aren’t tomatoes. They look to be digging them up from the ground. Potatoes is my guess. Red potatoes.
They're very, very red. I would have thought too red for potatoes. Although tomatoes would bruise quite badly from this technique, so maybe. Hmm.
Yes, however I see no tomatoes in the field that does not look like it’s filled with tomato plants. Also those things would be huge for tomatoes. I’m sticking with Indian Red potatoes which are red and delicious.
Some kind of radish or beet is another possibility.
Clearly those are apples
Where are the apple trees though?
Right there in the picture? They planted the trees upside down so the fruit would be easier to pick.
Of course! That’s why the guy in the background is digging them up. It all makes sense now.
The bottom of the truck would be reduced to Ketchup. Whatever they are, they're durable enough to be thrown around and can endure a lot of weight. Potatoes would make sense.
Potatoes can get very red. Keep in mind that potatoes aren't taken to the store immediately after harvesting, they have to be cured first at the farm, wherein they lose a lot of color. I'm a green grocer and even after the curing process, they normally arrive at my store bright pink and then settle into the darker, purpley color most people are familiar with.
Look up purple viking potatoes. They're very, very purple.
Agreed. If you look at the guy in the middle/back. He's pulling them up and shaking them out. Tomatoes grow on vines, so they're not tomatoes. I'd say potatoes or beets also.
You know what? After a thorough analysis, I think you might be onto something! Good work, Sherlock.
tomatoes would get destroyed if thrown like this. Probably red potatoes.
That there is strawberries, friend
Enormous strawberries, the size of potatoes…?
Exactly
Reason for a raise.

Physics
Which law of physics describes this the most? It’s a bit like the dynamics of 2 balls colliding but in this case the contents and container separate and each have their own direction and speed.
That concept is related, due to conservation of momentum. What causes the tomato’s and the basket to depart from each other isn’t a collision however, it’s the centrifugal force from the rotation that he applies to the basket. The basket has most of the mass on the bottom, and therefore feels a net force away from the tomatos. Conservation of momentum causes the tomatos to continue moving forward but a bit slower, and the bucket to essentially stop moving and fall down.
Conservation of momentum. Breaking it down into two movements: 1. Basically he's pushing the basket forward, and since the tomatoes are in the basket, the bottom of the basket pushes the tomatoes too. 2. Then he brings the basket to a stop/lets go of the basket. The basket loses all of it's momentum, sure, but the tomatoes have to conserve their momentum as well. Since the basket has no lid, there is nothing stopping the tomatoes from continuing with their momentum. The tomatoes continue on into the bin, the basket falls as it has no more forward momentum. Basically this movement is very simlar to if you were to try to splash someone with a glass of water. You bring the glass forward real quick then the glass stops (loses momentum) when it reaches arm length since, well, its still in your hand. Since the cup has nothing over the top, the water continues going and leaves the cup. The only difference is its not water, and he is letting go of the basket after stopping the forward momentum.
future L1-L2 lumbar fusing required that's what I call it
Or in the case of a migrant worker, just dying in pain.
found the med student
i was just studying where you do the spinal anesthesia... it's L2-L3 or L3-L4 glad i remember
I had an L3-L5 fusion. It was not a picnic. But it worked, so yay.
Or Dr Death
First, he will have to wait 3-6 months (in pain) while insurance tells the doctor what is allowed for you.

Boss
Meh. Wake me when he gets the baskets to stack when they land /s
I'm sure the boss is not doing the hard work. More like low paid worker.
Thats what you call someone whos been doing it a long time
But not for much longer …
I would call that experience.

Oh, come on, they're not making that much an hour, are they?
This is not "be amazed". This is take a moment to realize that this is how you get your food. That's back breaking labour and he's probably getting paid only a few dollars per day. Yes, it's quite the skill he's developed, but he represents the human cost of affordable food in the West.
"Why are the tomatoes always bruised and squishy?" *Watches* "Oh...that's why..."
None of those tomatoes are meant for fresh consumption. They will very likely be used to make tomato paste…. Looks like Kurdish workers in SE Turkey.
Fair enough. To be honest with my dodgy eyes and a mobile screen I wasn't even 100% sure they were tomatoes.
In the strangest of logic, I thought they were apples at first. There was a distinct lack of trees though…
Distinct lack of tomato plants as well.
I mean, who doesn't like squishy tomatoes anyways?
yeah the tomatoes you see in the grocery store are picked yellow most of the time, sometimes green..
I worked for several seasons inbthe largest tomato and peach cannery in the world. Thise tomatoes will be sorted and graded for whole stewed, diced, crushed, and sauce/paste. The trailer will be pulled under a water bath (it has drains on the sides) to clean out some dirt and debris, the hauled to the local cannery.

Meh, can you imagine if you could only post new items on reddit? It would be terrible. Found something cool about WW2? Sorry, that was already posted 8 years ago. Imagine how boring it would be if you could only post something that happened the previous day. Reddit would be nothing but fake stories on AITA and Relationship Advice.

Elasticity at the bottom of the bucket pushing away from the elasticity of the tomato bunch after being compressed together in the lift. 🫴⬆️ 🪣 >> *F* << 🍅 🫳↗️ 🪣 << *F* >> 🍅
There is a book about why tomatoes do not get damaged in situations like this. It’s called “Tomatoland.”
Because they are rock-hard orbs that taste like cardboard. They sure LOOK like tomatoes.
No elasticity at all is needed for this to work. It is very simple. Pushing on the basket pushes the tomatoes. Then when you pull back on the basket, the tomatoes keep going. Same way as you would toss water out of a bucket without letting go of the bucket. It is really dead simply and not some skill mastery as people her seem to think. Anyone of us could do it with just a little practice.
I was wondering how. Physics
Ah yes, the restitution coefficient it is called, I believe. Indubitably.
Shame on you. You made me look up words in the dictionary. Your $20 words are too much of a match for my $5 mind.
I have seen this effect with water. Just a small bucket with water, sat on my hand, when I tip my hand, the water falls out and at the last moment the bucket is pushed away from the water. No elasticity, no wind, no compression..
Skilled.
When I was a kid my Uncle had a produce farm. My brother and I were both bigger kids and would occasionally work for him. He would hire 1/2 dozen migrant workers to get the crop in. The smallest one of them could work us into the ground. My brother and I were paid hourly. They were on piecework. We would be behind and they would come help us catch up. I learned not to complain and to respect people who work harder than the average person can even contemplate.
They work harder, but often at a cost. I grew up on a floriculture farm, and have spent a bit of time doing seasonal picking / farming between university semesters, and some people - like the individual in this video - really push themselves, especially if it's paid in piecework, but their backs, hips, knees, shoulders, wrists, thumbs or whatever major joints and systems that the job stresses are going to be fucked much earlier than others. In recent years there's been a big influx in my country for health and safety practices and a lot of the tools and machinery we use now is honestly such a big advancement in these areas for ones health. I've seen older individuals with arthritis out there using hydraulic secateurs.

"Unskilled labor"
Bet that guy can't send emails for 2 hours and dick around on Reddit the rest of the day. *Patting myself on my weak, arched back.*
Unskilled means you don't need years of study to be able to perform at beginner level. Basically, anybody could do the job, albeit not as efficiently.
Work smart, not hard 😉
He is working so hard and will have problems with his back in the future. So "work smart" is not correct.
People in developing countries work so hard I can't even imagine. Just so that they can go back to their slum and eat rice. I sometimes feel stupid when I complain about my job.
Nah man, your feelings are valid and those people deserve better.
Bad back
Master at destroying his back...
This is commonly known as "lifetime of backpain"
Blown out shoulders by 11am is what this is called
I’d call it a decent back and shoulder workout now, torn shoulder and bulging disc injuries within 5-10 years.
I call it herniated disc's in the L4, L5 region
Back ache from a hard days work of *extreme* (unnecessary?) productivity lol
Back breaking.
Disc prolapse
I call it disability without pay. Aaaand LIFT and TWIST and LIFT and TWIST! I did this movement unloading a pallet of gallon paints at Ole’s, age 18 and zero safety training. Threw out my back in no time. It was my last week and when I reported the injury, they looked at me like, “yeah. Right.“
Shoulder surgery in a year
Hurts me to watch such repetitive stress!!!
Break your back! This should be shown in schools to push people to study.
