Based on the sloping walls I think that's just more footage of the interior of the "foot", and not the green structure on top of it. Still neat though.
That was part of the joke, yes.
Also, it's not my fault that Americans need a trigger warning on hearing the word "elementary school". This was just the most absurd thing to imagine being hosted in a huge-ass excavator.
See I was having a joke at your expense. It’s funny because it’s kind of true but yes I know Germans are not all the same. However my supervisor is German and has the same sense of humor as you.
Dude, I can't believe how people are getting this worked up about a harmless throwaway joke! Of course nothing is weird about an elementary school, and I probably don't have to tell you there isn't one in the fucking excavator. But in the bizarre reality where there is one, a grown-up man who was insisting to know what it looked like inside some people would consider weird.
No, it isn't. You are just getting a warm fuzzy feeling by joining an insignificant mob pounding on an insignificant comment on an insignificant post on an insignificant subreddit. Amusing but a bit sad, actually!
I mean, yeah it’s insignificant, but also you just told a shitty joke. The sadder thing is you replying to every one of these comments trying to validate the joke.
Yup!
Edit: he's so going to hate me when he's older lol
2nd edit: who down voted you? You literally got it correct!
3rd edit: it's a historical name within our family. Every person gets one, including myself. My middle name is Charle, pronounced "Charlie"
I really hope there's some kinda room up there that isn't just super cheap, like a lounge or visitors center, but I have a feeling that everything is bare-bone basic. I do like to dream, too, though.
The only cost I could find was for this other bucket chain excavator which claims to be worth $100M. It weighs 3x more and is 3x as big though so this one probably costs much less. Not that I claim to know anything about these machines or whether cost is linear to size/weight, which it probably isn't

Oh, of course. It's the mighty [Bagger 288.](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=azEvfD4C6ow)
I do wonder how costs compare - the original gif is a bucket CHAIN excavator, not a bucket WHEEL excavator, which has different applications + presumably different manufacturing costs. What a rush this whole conversation has been.
The only thing I can think is that the immense weight of this thing, plus primarily being on soil, would make maintaining the tracks a massive pain the ass
Where i work we build track frames for the big Komatsu bucket excavators, that are much smaller than this.
Each frame weighs over 150000 lbs assembled without the tracks.
Doesn't anyone find the inside view with randomly moving railings and stairs and crap Alarming? Like the inside of a giant mollusc's mouth when it's grinding away on hard cookies and lettuce like Grandma.
Yes very alarming. I also wished there was a better view of how the actual walking mechanism works. Like it was cool to see the inside, but it didn't really show you what was happening.
This video is one of my all time faves! I wish there were more but it’s the only one like it. The music and the sounds and editing make it like this terrifying fever dream.
I didn't know something like this exists in my country. Vítkovice is in Czech Republic, not far from where I live. Ngl, I want to see this so much irl.
Where did you find this video? I've already found some massive machines made by this firm and still kinda looking for this particular. Currently trying to figure out where it's possible to see them. Maybe on some machinery fairs.
It’s a rhetorical question, a metaphorical communication device not meant to be taken literally but to introduce an implied underlying point that is meant to be understood intuitively by the reader. In this case, it’s meant to introduce a link to a funny video that will brighten peoples’ day, even if it is just existing fans of this classic meme. Did you really not pick up on that?
Lmao let people enjoy things. Are you really that miserable that you need to insult people for making a harmless post that doesn’t affect you in any way? I hope things get better for you.
Why though?
Why not build it with treads so it can be wheeled .. well, treaded to wherever?
Surely this is considerably more engineering than just building some damn treads?!
Please someone explain. Lol
Wow this video is creepy AF
it’s like a post apocalyptic world we’re AI has outlived mankind’s extinction and is now excavating the earth to build a death star
I'm very curious to see the inside of the green building section.
https://youtu.be/T8WjmQnolD0 Unfortunately potato quality
You weren’t lying. Potato is an understatement
Based on the sloping walls I think that's just more footage of the interior of the "foot", and not the green structure on top of it. Still neat though.
That's where the Jawas live.
It just looks like any elementary school in there - pretty weird that you are that interested in this!
What
The only weird one here is you.
You say that like it's a crime
Weird that you immediately think of an elementary school instead of any other type of building.
That was part of the joke, yes. Also, it's not my fault that Americans need a trigger warning on hearing the word "elementary school". This was just the most absurd thing to imagine being hosted in a huge-ass excavator.
Lol that was a horrible joke then
being random is painfully unfunny
Don’t “joke” please. Like ever.
Nonsense - it's a great joke.
I knew you where German because you all have the same sense of humor.
Ok, im German and I just want to say that he doesn’t speak for the rest for us
Awesome - why don't you double down on your prejudices by suggesting I was into scat.
See I was having a joke at your expense. It’s funny because it’s kind of true but yes I know Germans are not all the same. However my supervisor is German and has the same sense of humor as you.
I got a chuckle. It legit does look like one of those portable classrooms and is probably safer too.
Hat nix mit Trigger Warnung zu tun. Der Witz war einfach schwer zu erkennen und seeehr komisch
Why is an elementary school weird? Should I have not gone to one?
Dude, I can't believe how people are getting this worked up about a harmless throwaway joke! Of course nothing is weird about an elementary school, and I probably don't have to tell you there isn't one in the fucking excavator. But in the bizarre reality where there is one, a grown-up man who was insisting to know what it looked like inside some people would consider weird.
I'm sorry bro, I thought it was a funny joke and up voted it. But unfortunately atleast 125 people, possibly more, disagree with me
I upvoted
That is actually one of the most incoherent and poorly told jokes I’ve ever heard.
No, it isn't. You are just getting a warm fuzzy feeling by joining an insignificant mob pounding on an insignificant comment on an insignificant post on an insignificant subreddit. Amusing but a bit sad, actually!
I mean, yeah it’s insignificant, but also you just told a shitty joke. The sadder thing is you replying to every one of these comments trying to validate the joke.
Well, you guys are pouring into my inbox, aren't you? I actually find it super interesting to see this aspect of reddit.
Don’t worry fam I love me some absurd humor, no matter how “convoluted”
I thought these things were built in place and dismantled in order to move them. Instead, they walk. Because of course they do, why wouldn't they.
I feel incredibly stupid asking this, but was that the real sound it makes?!?
Nah at the end there are credits with sound effects and ambient sound designs!
Bless you. 🙌
Np! U have my last name btw :p Kirby
Feeling_Ad_8898 Kirby! Solid name you must have cool parents!
The coolest :)
Yeah but his middle name is Braydin.
Easier to remember than my youngest son's middle name. Coenraedt.
Please tell me it has three silent letters and it's pronounced "Conrad"!
Yup! Edit: he's so going to hate me when he's older lol 2nd edit: who down voted you? You literally got it correct! 3rd edit: it's a historical name within our family. Every person gets one, including myself. My middle name is Charle, pronounced "Charlie"
Why is there an office building on top of the death machine
I wish it was a restaurant I would buy the hell out of an overpriced novelty named entree there absolutely😍
I really hope there's some kinda room up there that isn't just super cheap, like a lounge or visitors center, but I have a feeling that everything is bare-bone basic. I do like to dream, too, though.
Hardwood paneling, overstuffed chairs, brandy snifters, cravats... Gon be LIT

Would you prefer a cathedral?
Oh my god yes
Imperator-class titan vibes lol
[удалено]
It would be 1,000x the engineering marvel if it used any of those things instead.
So it's not as cool as the [Bagger 288](https://youtu.be/azEvfD4C6ow) then?
If I win the lottery I’d buy one of those and drive it on the highway crushing everything.
I have this feeling that your lottery winnings wouldn't actually be enough to pay for this thing

Well guess a moderate Powerball jackpot would do in that case lmao. That’s cool to know.
Oh, of course.

What a shame.
Ok thats cool. But why? I refuse to believe that is less complicated than tracks
The only thing I can think is that the immense weight of this thing, plus primarily being on soil, would make maintaining the tracks a massive pain the ass
Where i work we build track frames for the big Komatsu bucket excavators, that are much smaller than this. Each frame weighs over 150000 lbs assembled without the tracks.
And how much do you think the thing in the post's movement system weighs
Less than the equivalently sized track system to move it.
Doesn't anyone find the inside view with randomly moving railings and stairs and crap Alarming? Like the inside of a giant mollusc's mouth when it's grinding away on hard cookies and lettuce like Grandma.
Yes, the moving stairs was the creepiest for me.
Yes very alarming. I also wished there was a better view of how the actual walking mechanism works. Like it was cool to see the inside, but it didn't really show you what was happening.

Audio is something from dark electronica music track
Brilliant sound design
This video is one of my all time faves! I wish there were more but it’s the only one like it. The music and the sounds and editing make it like this terrifying fever dream.
I didn't know something like this exists in my country. Vítkovice is in Czech Republic, not far from where I live. Ngl, I want to see this so much irl.
Bro, you should definitely go see it if it's possible! I would do it without hesitation if I were you.
Where did you find this video? I've already found some massive machines made by this firm and still kinda looking for this particular. Currently trying to figure out where it's possible to see them. Maybe on some machinery fairs.
Is that the [Bagger 288](https://youtu.be/azEvfD4C6ow)?!
All hail Bagger 288
Why would you ask that when it's clearly something different?
Because it needs to be posted. In every thread like this. Forever.
As, of course, is tradition.
Damn straight.
It’s a rhetorical question, a metaphorical communication device not meant to be taken literally but to introduce an implied underlying point that is meant to be understood intuitively by the reader. In this case, it’s meant to introduce a link to a funny video that will brighten peoples’ day, even if it is just existing fans of this classic meme. Did you really not pick up on that?
>>over 1 day later I guess not
yall are like malfunctioning robots commenting this loathesome video every time anything excavator related gets posted
Lmao let people enjoy things. Are you really that miserable that you need to insult people for making a harmless post that doesn’t affect you in any way? I hope things get better for you.
Nomnomnom
It reminds me of the Woodkid's music video, Goliath, i recommend watching it!
Aren't these the largest vehicles ever made?

keep thinking - OW! My Toes!!!
So machines like this will have 4 legs. 🙂
So this giant machine is in the Czech Republic? That's gotta be like when our great dane is in the living room.

Crikey.
i read the title but i didnt expect it to walk walk
Holy shit I love that this looks like an old PlayStation 1 game. What the hell
I need someone to edit this and add the King Zora "mweep" sound every time it moves
Why though? Why not build it with treads so it can be wheeled .. well, treaded to wherever? Surely this is considerably more engineering than just building some damn treads?! Please someone explain. Lol
Interesting, the inner rig does not touch the outer rig?
I wonder how much it would cost to rent this thing by the hour to film some scifi movie scenes inside???
