As an engineer, do not paint the pistons at all. If the paint stays on it adds resistance and if it doesn't then it gums up the engine.
Woosh.
You wouldn’t even be able to get the pistons in the cylinder with a layer of paint in them.
Not with that attitude! If it doesn't fit get a bigger hammer!
As a non-mechanic that watches various channels working on vehicle sin various states of use and repair... It seems that half of vehicle work seems to require hammers, and the other half a hammer should never be near. And knowing the difference is a mystical art form.
Growing up I thought it was all giving as many uggas as you can dugga. I broke a lot of stuff learning a lot of it is only being as mean as you have to be. Except for suspension work. Suspension work requires pure hatred and a hammer.
Large vehicle suspension components scare the living hell out of me. Seen too many videos online.
Ha!
If you say something sarcastic you have to annotate it, such as with a /s, because no matter how stupid you think a take is there are people who unironically hold that opinion. It's called "Poe's Law".
This is /shitposting, not /howtobuildanengine
Engineers, am I right? Lol
Bro was just handling an edge case
Well, I am also an engineer (I recovered) but ya, most engineers.
😆
What about /howtobuildathomasthetankengine are we there
Yeah, everyone. Listen up - we need to mark every joke so that everyone can laugh. Remember: the best jokes are the ones we have to explain.
laugh track
Wouldn't that defeat the purpose of the joke if you had to explain it?
Skill issue
I know you’re getting downvoted for being whooshed but I wanted to say I appreciate the explanation on why this is horrible. This is way out of my areas of expertise lol.
I work with engineers, and this is exactly how they are folks, trust me.
