Mildly Interesting

This is for strictly mildly interesting material. If it's too interesting, it doesn't belong. If it's not interesting, it doesn't belong.

This is obviously an objective criteria, so the mods are always right. Or maybe mildly right? Ahh.. what do we know?

Just post some stuff and don't spam.

To the Wes Andersonmobile!

This is more than mildly interesting. I’d say it’s somewhat interesting. Dare I say it’s intriguing?

how do they get the car down?

Looks like they have a crane up there, but if it breaks you have to find an appropriate height overpass.

Discreet, lmfao

Going for top-tier European beer at 9:24, I see.

[–] Mighty@lemmy.world 25 points 3 weeks ago

No way!!! I saw that same truck a few days ago in Germany. It must be the exact same, because it's pretty recognizable and unique.

[–] aeronmelon@lemmy.world 17 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

That truck has a shuttle craft.

[–] daychilde@lemmy.world 8 points 3 weeks ago

For some reason, your comment put Seagulls in my head (that log had a child!) lol

[–] Zephyr@sh.itjust.works 17 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

I want to see the process of getting that car down. I see what I think is a crane arm.

[–] qupada@fedia.io 13 points 3 weeks ago

Looks like a davit designed for loading a small boat onto a larger boat.

Here, we apparently see the land lubber's version of the same.

[–] tangeli@piefed.social 9 points 3 weeks ago (2 children)

I hope that's some kind of hardpan sand, not the soft stuff at the beaches I go to. Or that those vehicles are all amphibious. That picture makes me feel very anxious.

[–] just2look@lemmy.zip 9 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

Just looking at how little the semi sunk into the sand, I would guess it is pretty hard. As long as they don't get too crazy I dont think driving back out would be an issue at all.

[–] tangeli@piefed.social 9 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

I drove on a beach once. It was fine. Easy going. Beautiful. Exhilarating. Until, abruptly, the tires sunk in and it wasn't. Once they sink in, even just a little bit, it is extremely difficult to get out. It was one of the stupider things I have ever done. I've never done it again.

[–] just2look@lemmy.zip 4 points 3 weeks ago

Oh I know how difficult sand can be. Especially for people unfamiliar with it. Any sudden acceleration, braking, or turning and you can bury your vehicle. Takes a lot of finesse. That sand looks fairly consistent though, and based on other comments is frequently driven on. So as long as the water doesn't come up that far it should be well packed and easy to drive on.

[–] BrambinagStoneboots@lemmy.world 8 points 3 weeks ago (2 children)

It is likely on Rømø, they have big beaches where you can officially drive on. Which is not that common here in northern Europe.

[–] cosmicrookie@lemmy.world 11 points 3 weeks ago

It's in Saltum beach. As far as i know its officially a road

[–] VonReposti@feddit.dk 4 points 3 weeks ago

2-3km wide to put a number on it.

[–] Dearth@lemmy.world 9 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

All it needs is a couple bikes hanging from the back of the car and it's my dream vehicle

[–] ramenshaman@lemmy.world 6 points 3 weeks ago

I bet they have bikes inside

[–] whereitsat@lemmy.zip 7 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

what's interesting about it?

it looks like another well-off person cosplaying as a poor as a lifestyle. the semi itself probably cost 200k.

[–] crimsonpoodle@pawb.social 4 points 3 weeks ago

Could just be middle class retirees; with the cost of housing 200k truck + 150 trailer is pretty competitive.

[–] Lucidlethargy@sh.itjust.works 6 points 3 weeks ago* (last edited 3 weeks ago)

I'm astonished by the fact that's on sand on a beach...

Nothing is towing that giant thing if it gets stuck.

[–] wake@quokk.au 6 points 3 weeks ago (2 children)

I wonder about the weight and how it was built. I'm guessing it doesn't weigh much if they can get away with a single axle trailer.

Interesting, but why is it driving on the beach? Doesn't it sink in with that weight?

[–] SmoothOperator@lemmy.world 11 points 3 weeks ago

There are beaches on the Danish west coast where the sand is plenty compacted, completely fine for driving. At least for passenger cars.

I would be hesitant with a truck, but seems to be going well.

[–] BeardedGingerWonder@feddit.uk 5 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

Does it look like it's sinking?

[–] wreckedcarzz@lemmy.world 5 points 3 weeks ago

New ATS/ETS dlc spotted

[–] antianarchist@sopuli.xyz 5 points 3 weeks ago (3 children)

Of course, a Swiss fucker.

But, to be honest, it looks cool as fuck and is probably super luxurious.

Yes, but they're probably Danish, and this is one of our tells. We use -t instead of -d for past tense.

[–] gergolippai@lemmy.world 5 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

they basically wrote it with a correct Danish accent :)

New mobile home just dropped

I will be impressed if I learn this was made by the owner and not commissioned. I'll be further impressed if he/she holds a humble job and this is their passion.

I definetly didn't read Forpedo

[–] BlackLaZoR@lemmy.world 3 points 3 weeks ago (2 children)

Fiat 500. Interesting curiosity. But I'd never want to daily drive it. It's a rat cage on wheels.

[–] 3abas@lemmy.world 4 points 3 weeks ago

It's clearly not a "daily driver", the house is.

[–] cosmicrookie@lemmy.world 3 points 3 weeks ago

Still better than a bicycle in the rain though

[–] waitingtech@lemmy.world 3 points 3 weeks ago

Is Sisu moving again?
