dank memes

Rules:

  1. All posts must be memes and follow a general meme setup.

  2. No unedited webcomics.

  3. Someone saying something funny or cringe on twitter/tumblr/reddit/etc. is not a meme. Post that stuff in /c/slop

  4. Va*sh posting is haram and will be removed.

  5. Follow the code of conduct.

  6. Tag OC at the end of your title and we'll probably pin it for a while if we see it.

  7. Recent reposts might be removed.

  8. Tagging OC with the hexbear watermark is praxis.

  9. No anti-natalism memes. See: Eco-fascism Primer

Cute Russian comic. The home of the official English version is here if anyone wants to skip ahead (or support them): https://boosty.to/gabiconomics-en

The concept of Alienation of labour is simple - when the results of labour do not belong to the worker with its further usage unrelated and invisible to workers - that result quickly becomes inconsequential, leading to worker indifference.

I've literally only seen them use saws, hammers and chisels. They have some machines that I think are just for bracing the wheels while spokes are put in. Gabi and Falke built those themselves by doing night shifts in Chief's shop who was nice enough to at least let them use the machines when they weren't being used for the shop.

Apparently wheelsmiths used steam to bend the wood so that must require a special setup.

[Chief] was nice enough to at least let them use the machines

Didn't he make Gabi pay coins to use them?

Oh yeah, he might've done that...
