All Sawzalls are electric, a non electric one is just a hacksaw.

Care to explain the title? How does any of that relate to SovCits?

*robert ritchie, the rich kid from the suburban romeo, michigan (not detroit) not kid rock

[–] [email protected] 29 points 4 months ago (1 children)

Kid rock doesn’t represent poor people, drug users, or thieves. He’s a rich kid in cosplay

[–] [email protected] 15 points 4 months ago* (last edited 4 months ago)

I wondered what his actual background was after seeing this comment thinking "well yeah, now after he got famous" but you're right; he was born a rich kid. Maybe not super rich, but rich enough that his parents owned multiple car dealerships and grew up on a large plot of land that had stables and horses.

A redditor would find this fucking brilliant

[–] [email protected] 5 points 4 months ago

Now I feel like I should watch Trevor Wallaces "Wears Pit Vipers Once" video. It's like an homage to Kid Rock and his fans.

"How's your grandma like my Pit Vipers? They both ride my face until sunset! Yeehaw, meemaw!"

What is sudafed?

(Yes, I can google, but talking to people is more fun and google results can be trash)

Cold medicine containing pseudoephedrine, a precursor to making meth

[–] [email protected] 13 points 4 months ago (1 children)

To add to that about 10-15 years ago it became more common knowledge so laws were enacted to limit it since it was OTC. I was pissed at the time because the calculations didn’t account for 31 day months, so I’d have to go a day without it because of some meth makers.

[–] [email protected] 13 points 4 months ago* (last edited 4 months ago) (2 children)

Why are you consuming the legal limit of cold medicine daily?

[–] [email protected] 11 points 4 months ago (1 children)

lol it’s not daily. Look up Claritin-D 24 hour. The way it calculates out you can’t get a 31st pill. They’re sold in 5, 10 or 15 packs. And 30x the amount in each pill is the monthly limit.

[–] [email protected] 28 points 4 months ago (2 children)

this dude knows exactly how much sudafed you can buy at a time

[–] [email protected] 2 points 4 months ago

This dude doesn't know what its like to live with allergies.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 4 months ago

And listens to Kid Rock.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 4 months ago

It's also taken for allergies. It's a decongestant.

[–] [email protected] 9 points 4 months ago

Pseudoephedrine is the main ingredient in meth. Kid Rock aficionados know how many Sudafed they can legally buy at a single pharmacy so they can then go home and cook up some crank.

[–] [email protected] 36 points 4 months ago (3 children)

While I agree with the sentiment, please do not disparage the mighty sawzall. Wielding the sawzall while doing any sort of home improvement work is the closest you will get to feeling like you're a god. A god of destruction.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 4 months ago (2 children)

I feel that more when using my acetylene torch

With an angle grinder and a MIG welder, you can dismantle and remake the world.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 4 months ago* (last edited 4 months ago)

Sometimes I reminisce about the days when I was a mechanic. Small jobs like cutting off what remained of a small lower unit fin of a boat, cutting a blank to size to weld back on, grind it all smooth, prime and paint. To look brand new when done. Cut out rusted brackets and weld in new stock. Welding together shelves for the parts area from angle iron. It was really empowering. I’m glad I got out of that and work in IT now. It’s easier on my body and I make a hell of a lot better living but the sense of accomplishment doesn’t remotely compare to stepping back and admiring something I fixed or built.

The sawzall + a torch + a impact hammer are the three kings

[–] [email protected] 8 points 4 months ago (1 children)

Someone once cut the catalytic converter out of a pediatric nurse's car in the parking lot of the pediatric hospital we worked at while she was at work one day and left pieces of the sawzall all over the parking lot.

[–] [email protected] 11 points 4 months ago

If it broke, then twas but an impostor. I have had my trusty DeWalt now for years exceeding one and twenty. The trusty blade has gone through multiple major remodels without complaint or failure. Unfortunately the mighty sawzall is but a tool. A tool that in the wrong hands can bring woe to the innocent, as it did to thy fair nurse.

[–] [email protected] 13 points 4 months ago (3 children)

In case anyone else is wondering wtf a Sawzall is: It's a bayonet saw.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 4 months ago (1 children)

Bayonet saw sounds more terrifying than it actually is. Sounds like some warhammer 40k shit

[–] [email protected] 1 points 4 months ago

That makes it sound fucking metal.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 4 months ago

Saber saw is the common one, reciprocating saw is the technical term.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 4 months ago

I think a bayonet saw is more like a jigsaw. A sawzall is also know and a reciprocating saw. They are similar mechanisms, but while a jigsaw is smaller and often used to cut curves out of sheet material, a sawzall is much bigger and used for general purpose, often demolition.

The musical equivalent of eating a spoonful of mayo

[–] [email protected] 6 points 4 months ago

What did mayo ever do to you?

[–] [email protected] 10 points 4 months ago (1 children)

Spoonful of Velveeta on spaghetti.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 4 months ago (1 children)

don't disparage mac and cheese like that :(

[–] [email protected] 2 points 4 months ago

Mac and legally not allowed to be called cheese in most countries.

Kid Rock is the human version of an above ground pool.

[–] [email protected] 27 points 4 months ago (2 children)

Kid Rock fans know the age of consent law in every state.

[–] [email protected] 9 points 4 months ago (1 children)

Kid rock fans know which tattoo parlours take food stamps.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 4 months ago

Kid Rock fans know which liquor stores will ring up fake milk so you can use EBT to buy a 40.

[–] [email protected] 23 points 4 months ago (1 children)

It will really get you pumped up for your meth cooking sessions

[–] [email protected] 4 points 4 months ago (1 children)

But be careful or it will make your teeth fall out. And keep your dirty hands off your sister, damnit!

[–] [email protected] 2 points 4 months ago

Hey, she's my sister too!
