Looks more like a hot bath than a hot tub. What leads to this theory is that the man appears to be washing himself.

I'm so happy today Ü

[–]soymilkisgood 4 points5 points ago

Using Alt+S on a normal, English keyboard will yield the ß. Alt+U will yield the umlaut, (¨) which can then be added to any vowel by typing the vowel afterwards. Thus, Alt+U+U = ü. Alt+U+A=ä. Alt+U+O=ö. Convenient for those of us that had to type for German classes :)

[–]deltarob 2 points3 points ago

none of those work for me for some reason

[–]soymilkisgood 0 points1 point ago

Hmmm. I'm on a mac, maybe it's a different button that activates it on a windows keyboard? Have you tried Ctrl?

[–]_readit_ 0 points1 point ago

here: c c c c c c c c and ß

[–]TacticalBacon00 1 point2 points ago

alt+0223 = ß

[–]PenumbraIV 4 points5 points ago

Aren't ss and ß interchangeable?

[–]mjAUT[S] 19 points20 points ago

Nope, and doing so can even change the meaning of a word.

Example:

Trinken in Maßen

Drinking in moderation

Trinken in Massen

Drinking a lot

If you can't type a "ß" you're supposed to use "sz" instead.

Edit: I stand corrected! Apparently, using "sz" was the way to go until an official spelling reform in 2006. You can now indeed use "ss" instead of "ß", but only if it's not included in the character set you're using or when writing in capital letters.

[–]Blamemeta 6 points7 points ago

my german teacher lied to me. I feel sad now.

[–]XMBomb 4 points5 points ago

Well in Switzerland we don't have that ß, so everything is just with "ss"

[–]fantiaele 0 points1 point ago

He didn't ;) I guess there are two options.

[–]Cralineleader 10 points11 points ago

I feel like I'm learning things!! Hooray!

[–]fantiaele 2 points3 points ago

That's not true, is it? I am German and I learned that you can use "ss". You just say "sz" to "ß". I think you're allowed to use "ss" instead (even if it chances the meaning, it's just unlikely that it really does...) but maybe "sz" works too.

[–]mjAUT[S] 0 points1 point ago

You're right, apparently the German spelling I learned is outdated.

I updated my original post.

[–]_readit_ 1 point2 points ago

Drinken in Maszen, I would read that as " Trinken in Maschen" which really doesn't make sense.

[–]jeeenkins 0 points1 point ago

Sure it does. It's like "going out for a drink in Maschen".

Terrence Boyd is going to lead the league in goals this year! Rapid Vien über alles!

[–]mjAUT[S] 6 points7 points ago

Using the phrase "über alles" here nowadays will certainly earn you some weird looks. It's linked to the guy who ruined sporting a Charlie Chaplin style mustache forever.

Also, the German name of Vienna is Wien.

[–]foolishnesss 2 points3 points ago

Shit, I need to learn about the connotations. I probably should avoid using "Deutschland, Deutschland uber alles" then huh?

God damnit, I fucked that up too.

[–]Samuel_Gompers 1 point2 points ago

I was in Austria during the 2008 Eurocup. My favorite part was when the Turkish team showed up, whatever station we were watching showed a graphic that said "Hallo-Wien II," in the style of the Halloween movies, but with the Turkish team. Needless to say, I found the reference to the siege of Vienna hilarious and actually had to explain it to my German friends.

[–]fleckes 0 points1 point ago

And sometimes the national anthems get completely mixed up, like here at some medal ceremony. Awkward!

You won't see many then singing along "Deutschland, deutschland über alles". And those who do are mostly the kind of people you don't want to know.

[–]Nekrabyte 2 points3 points ago

All I can think of when I see it is the song "California über alles" by the dead kennedys, not a German speaking German, even if that German is quite nefarious.

[–]Super_Dork_42 0 points1 point ago

Wait, so the proper term for a person from Vienna is to call them a Wiener? Awesome.

[–]mjAUT[S] 2 points3 points ago

Yes, Wiener (sp) is correct and commonly used.

It's not a double entendre in German, tho.

[–]Balidet 74 points75 points ago

as a construction type person i would like to point out that it would appear that this bucket had never been used based on the crispness of the teeth and the abundant paint left on it... kind of makes you wonder what the story is here.

[–]TargetQ2 16 points17 points ago

I believe this picture to have been taken in Ft. MacMurry, Alberta are a couple years ago. I got the picture (or one similar) a couple years ago with the description of "Hot Tub in Ft. Mac". It's pretty cold up there but I would still think this was done more as a joke then anything else.

EDIT: Scratch that. I re-looked at the picture & am pretty sure the one I saw had snow on the ground.

[–]thisisnotherenotnow 9 points10 points ago

Yeah, sounds like Ft. Mac.

[–]lebowskisweater 11 points12 points ago

Classic Ft. Mac.

[–]Wazowski 2 points3 points ago

[–]structEIT 4 points5 points ago

Wonder if he had his hot-work permit signed before undertaking bath time.

[–]thisisnotherenotnow 1 point2 points ago

He probably bribed the site foreman with a hooker.

Not a very good bribe up in Ft.Mac, but oh well.

[–]deltarob 5 points6 points ago

[–]mangletron 1 point2 points ago

I've got a picture of myself and several other people in the box of a Ford Ranger (off the truck of course) put up on stumps, lined with a tarp, filled with water and with a fire lit underneath. Unsmart thing done, for sure. It eventually got too hot to be in. I'll try and find it and post it.

It would take a really long time for that fire to heat the steel enough to burn him. It's several inches thick...

[–]isometriks 20 points21 points ago

It would also take a really really long time for that water to heat up with a fire that size.

[–]Bennyboy1337 8 points9 points ago

He probably had a warm bath.

[–]spinningmagnets 0 points1 point ago

How long had the fire been burning before the picture was taken?

[–]Mordenstein 19 points20 points ago

Water is an awesome heat sink as well. I think he would boil before being burned by touching the metal.

[–]NakedTonyDanza 18 points19 points ago

You can prove that by filling a paper cup with water and then putting it in a campfire. The cup will retain its ability to hold water for minutes on end instead of instantly burning.

[–]darkscout 18 points19 points ago

Did this one in boyscouts. We had to hard boil an egg in a paper cup. Anything above the waterline burned away, anything below the waterline just boiled.

As another troop found out, this does not hold true for styrofoam.

[–]pez319 5 points6 points ago

Paper cups are usually coated with a thin layer of Polyethylene for waterproofing. It might not be wise to cook something that will make direct contact with the liquid. An egg might be OK because you're not eating the shell.

[–]Wingboner 9 points10 points ago

If that heat causes a leak in the hydraulics he's a deadman. Even a pinhole leak can spray hydraulic fluid right through flesh at those pressures. Do not google hydraulic fluid injuries.

[–]BeerPowered 3 points4 points ago

No, now the whole reddit will google that!

[–]huws39ysjisef3suf8sf 3 points4 points ago

Someone google it and tell me how bad it is

[–]Wingboner 7 points8 points ago

It causes internal swelling and necrosis to the point that the skin splits open and often necessitates amputation. If you've ever seen really bad spider bite pictures, it's a bit like that-- but with more biting.

[–]mark331 1 point2 points ago

[–]FF4221 1 point2 points ago

especially a pin hole leak.

And at those distances I'm guessing he's safe.

[–]sniper1rfa 1 point2 points ago

Considering the machine is presumably not on, there shouldn't be much of an issue.

[–][deleted] ago

[deleted]

[–]sniper1rfa 1 point2 points ago

If the machine isn't on the only pressure in the system is the weight of the bucket pressing down on the cylinder that's holding it up. Might be a lot, but not the 5,000+ PSI the system operates at normally.

I think a lot of injuries happen either through poorly maintained equipment (either no maintenance or bad maintenance) or things like checking for leaks (while it's running).

[–]jarhead930 0 points1 point ago

Also, guys, this would be pretty much the worst tub in the world. Metal conducts heat really well, water holds it really well and it takes a ton of heat to make water hot (4.184J/g). So not only would they have to keep that fire going for hours, but the poor bastard would be dancing around in there to keep from burning his feet.

I have to assume this poor fella got sprayed by a skunk and couldn't get back to a regular tub.
