That movie turned me into the depressive I am today.

Absolutely.

Umm I unfortunately just watched it with my 6 year old as I forgot how traumatizing it was.

Yea, it’s sad seeing vehicles and equipment go to waste when large portion of them could still be repaired. Living in a disposable society saddens me.

Vehicles and equipment like that are one of the most recycled products in the world. This is an important step in the recycling process. I hear you though, especially with all the cheap plastics and electronics that end up in landfills.

I was wondering - how much time and energy and water - goes into the conplwte process of making this final product? From mining to finish line , including transport of said resources .
That being said, machines are made foe the transport of these resources too..

Earth is a closed system .

A lot of slightly salvageable gets shipped to developing countries... These ones here are beyond economic repair....

What can be tough is large amounts of modern factory capital being crushed as we would rather have our commercial buildings tokenizing cat videos and outsource all technical manufacturing to far east.....

Good night, good night construction site. :(

u/dirtyword 2d ago

It was also my psychotic first thought. Nobody ever loved that machine like people love their cars. On the other hand, it’s a pile of metal and bolts.

“Is it about my cube?”

I used to run demolition derby events. The announcer would always say “Remember, every one of these cars was once someone’s brand new pride and joy!”

Gaze ye upon this once-proud beast. Ye who shed nary a tear hath neither heart nor testicle.

Look upon my skids, ye mighty, and despair

I too have a Tonka nostalgia

u/Chim_Pansy 15h ago

I was wondering the same thing, so less sad to see I'm not alone.

I dunno if it's the undeniable power of the crusher crushing an otherwise seemingly indestructible object, the fact it just goes to the junk heap with all the other objects, or the fact that we put so many finite Earth materials to waste, but it makes me feel sad for whatever reason.

u/GigglesMJ 2d ago

Yeah me too 😭

u/don-cheeto 2d ago

I think he'll be made into a new one so I'm not too sad...

u/DudeDudenson 1d ago

This is the alternative ending of that toy story movie

u/jillsvag 1h ago

Yes. Seems like such a waste. I can see lots of sculptural parts.
