For preserving the least toxic and most culturally relevant Tumblr heritage posts.

Image descriptions and plain text captions of written content are expected of all screenshots. Here are some image text extractors (I looked these up quick and will gladly take FOSS recommendations):

-web

-iOS

Please begin copied raw text posts (lacking a screenshot that makes it apparent it is from Tumblr) with:

That was hilarious, thank you! I must admit I'm morbidly curious as to how one orders a truck of rice by mistake...

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

I'm assuming it's a single pallet and the shop owner told the warehouse to send the minimum order amount. BIL probably thought it was just a few bags.

In what country does “truck” refer to an SUV? I’m in America and I assumed at least a pickup truck.

Which is the same size basically

A pickup has a bed and can carry much more rice than an SUV. I have no idea why anyone would assume they meant an SUV.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

Pickup trucks and SUVs are both classified as light trucks. Also most of them are built on the same frames

That was amazing!! Just wish we got to see the final image of the BIL on the veranda, broken and surrounded by 23 bags of rice

700 ish bags of rice? and he only bought 24. lol

Massive success tbh. Imagine Havin to deal with 700 fucking bags of rice. Those sacks also looks to be 50 kg wholesale sacks meant for ration shops and godowns so thats likely 35 fucking TONS of rice.

EDIT: They're actually 100 kg sacks, so 70 tons.

Still got stuck with 2.4 tons lol. Guess that'll last them like a week
