Snake repellent so effective that it covers not only your backyard, but your neighbour’s backyard. And their neighbour’s backyard. And their neighbour’s backyard too!

In fact, these things work so well, the entire country of New Zealand is completely devoid of snakes because the mere existence of whatever the hell these turkey-baster lookin things are, sitting in some warehouse up in Auckland has completely eliminated the need to buy even one of these things.

here’s a compilation of different people driving box trucks into a low bridge over and over

It’s worth knowing a few fun facts, courtesy of 11foot8.com:

  • They can’t raise the bridge because it’s a train trestle, and raising it would require closing and modifying miles of busy track.
  • They can’t lower the road because it’s directly over a sewer main.
  • They can’t ban trucks entirely because there are too many local deliveries.
  • That section of road has a speed limit of 25 mph, numerous signs alerting drivers to the 11’8" limit, and recently they added a sensor that activates the stoplight and a flashing “overheight warning” sign so that drivers have to stop and think really hard about going forward.
  • The clearance is actually nearly three inches more than 11’8", the maximum deviation from the signage allowed.
  • Trucks have been getting stuck or damaged since the 1960s.

The guy who runs the website (and owns the cameras) says he sees a lot more trucks pull up to the stoplight, look at the warnings, and turn off onto the side road, but about once a month, someone hits the bridge.

the penske business is probably sick of this shit

new stem watch trucks get peeled like cans of anchovies
