Hi there! Looks like you linked to a Lemmy community using a URL instead of its name, which doesn't work well for people on different instances. Try fixing it like this: [email protected]

I guess but as soon as they’re sworn in, they aren’t allowed to drive anymore.

Freshly certified like Staplerfahrer Klaus?

For those who don't understand the language: This is the parody of an officially sponsored training/education film. The speaker is a well-known voice for a series of traffic safety videos that were shown weekly on TV in the 70s. It starts with the ceremony of handing out the forklift operator certificates, and then follows one of those nwly minted forklift operators, describing things one should not do around or with forklifts.

This so much needs English subtitles...

FORKLIFT, 2024

I was trying to think of one. Lech Walesa came to mind, but it's doubtful. There was a Romanian president maybe 20 years ago that was a merchant ship officer, who often get f/l qualified (I did), but iirc, he flamed out.

But do they have a certificate to prove they are not Donkey Brained?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 9 months ago

Honestly not even a bad idea.

Only if they're a September guy though.
