Grrl Power #1030 - Wing Woman and the Forklift
🕑 Added 2022-03-10 11:01:01 +0000 UTCThanks so much for your support! For serious!
It's not show clearly on this page, but that guy is carrying a palette with a big water tank on it. Or maybe it's fry oil for the mess. Doesn't matter, it's like a 300 gallon tank and if it's close to full then it probably weighs about a ton. There's a better shot of it on the next page.
The problem with having moderate super strength is that your job would quickly become "forklift." I guess there are worse things though, especially if you got paid at least as much as a forklift operator, plus some portion of the forklift maintenance budget. Presumably if you can lift as much as a forklift, you're probably more maneuverable even if you're not quite as fast on a straightaway, so that's another selling point.
The thing is though, you start feeling underappreciated as the strong guy in your unit, then the boss hires a bunch of nine foot tall demons whose primary function in an assault is to toss a 20 ton steel pylon 500 yards to smash enemy armor, and you're like, well, what the shit? I guess I'll just carry moderately heavy stuff. Nothing like being the bantamweight strong guy.
To anyone worried about it, I don't think the back of knees are anyone's fetish. To be clear, literally anything is someone's fetish, but the incident rate of kneebackphillia has got to be lower than statistical error noise.

Didn't anyone else appreciate the cool, laid-back Alari giving advice? It's the first Alari that seems reasonable, not psychotically intense (as far as I remember). There's still hope for humanity to survive the contact with Alari...

Pallet Jack's knack to snack on knee backs

Oh mama... Those KNEE baaaacks...

Looks like he's carrying an IBC, and those literally hold 1 cubic metre of water, which is exactly 1 tonne. Obviously heavier if it's got oil or something thicker in it.

Thanks for the break from Deus.

A quick Google search "back of knee attraction" shows there's a bit of literature on it...

Somebody with super strength is also probably a decent jumper.
Andrew
Oh man I hope his name is Pallet Jack.

Even if you can lift as much as a forklift unless you can also fly you probably can't lift it as high as a forklift.
Michael Obert
I mean, the knees are great, but he's missing out by not ogling those chiseled calves. Rawr!

Rounded, 8.3 pounds per gallon of water. Pallet jacks/trucks start around $400.

To be fair it's really nice back of knees

This better not awaken anything.
