First documented proof of excavators having evolved. They have started to use tools and have now reached the iron age.

We've got excavators hitting the iron age before Sub-Saharan Africa.

it's beautiful seeing heavy machinery being operated in such a way the operator becomes one with the machine.

I wanted to see the rest of the box being dealt with.

I only have this one, idk where without this meat boy villain

We underutilize large machinery ngl

man I just wanna know where I can get certified to operate this specific equipment without having to get a job there first.

Demolition guys have the highest job satisfaction rating on the planet 😜

No, we are safe for now. But once they figure out fire and wheel… they will go full-on Decepticon mode. Then; we are doomed!

How do I get this Bart Simpson type job?

Your chances of being stabbed by an excavator are small but never 0%

Given that the average excavator is already composed entirely of structural steel and hydraulics, entering the Iron Age represents a severe industrial regression. Skipping agriculture altogether to adopt metallurgy first will make their archaeological record very difficult to categorize.

That excavator folds that scrap neater than I fold my laundry.

Esperaba que llegaran mini escaladoras con sus platitos a pedir una porción

"Here is the technology. I've asked you to simply make it bigger."

Very scary! What are we going to do when they decide we are the problem!?!?!?

It doesn’t look like food thus it’s most likely fun. How do they provide food?

now let's see it do flint napping

@Aelthemplaer They use their own flesh as a tool

The noise this make is probably something straight from hell

It's so damn impressive seeing how a highly skilled and experienced operator can manipulate their equipment with such precision. Damn makes me jealous

I caught mine hunting the other day. It had set a trap for dozers by digging a deep hole and then covering it with sticks

Having operated excavators, that takes an insane level of skill. More than a surgeon.

@1llegalEngineer Something so fascinating to me seeing someone so proficient at operating machinery that it’s basically an extension of their own body. It’s crazy that over time it’s literally like moving your arms, the controls become subconscious.

we better be careful since if these Excavators and the other vehicles started gaining more sentience, we better be ready for Maximum Overdrive

They’ve been using tool attachments for over 50 years

AVE MACHINA

I for one would welcome our Excavator Overlords should they decide to take over!

@Nero_cortex

This excavator has a higher IQ than all of Somalia

Oh no they are learning.

Next thing you know you get excavators with two arms that are operated via NeuroLink… proto-Mechas?

I desperately want to have this as my job forever.
