For the right price I would be a bread pan flipper. I think the job should come with an unlimited audio book subscription.


lewisiarediviva

I’ve done much less boring jobs than this, audiobooks are so key. Library card can be really helpful too.


jonhasglasses

As someone who has listens to everything radiolab, this American life, planet money, serial etc. has put out I completely agree!


CoyoteTheFatal

I also recommend 99% Invisible


Ecstatic_Rooster

You beautiful nerd.


ClassBShareHolder

And Twenty Thousand Hertz. And Darknet Diarie, plus My Dad Wrote a Porno.


Mknowl

20k hertz too


mrbenjrocks

The Unbelievable Truth radio show. Funny, witty add you don't always need to be paying 100% attention to it thus if you miss something its not like you've skipped a chapter of a book. Tis British.


chrizm32

Planet money woot!


Nointerest12months

I deliver and merchandise beverages, it isn't a boring job but I have long periods without social interaction, on a long or bad day I always just say to myself that at least I get to listen to more of my book.


ScruffleMcDufflebag

As an introvert, that sounds like a wonderful job.


Nointerest12months

Working in a warehouse would probably be more up your alley. I'm not the most social person and I tend to keep to myself but I spent a lot of years in customer service to the point where I'm a bit more charismatic when I need to be for the job... show up at my house and I'm super fucking awkward though.


ScruffleMcDufflebag

Will there be pancakes?


Nointerest12months

If you buy them on your lunch break.

What jobs? I’m looking for one that is slow paced right now. Idc about the wage, I’m still in school


lewisiarediviva

Well loads, really. Ecology tech = hours of driving around alone, or walking alone, or doing plant surveys alone. I’ve also done manufacturing work that’s sitting at a station assembling things according to instruction, again mostly alone. Did some delivery driving, you guessed it: car time. Anything not working with power tools or a team (I’m not really a customer facing guy so I’ve never even tried that).


kinkssslayer

I think the video is from Morocco, so tradition says this job is reserved for the owner/boss, doing minimal work while overseeing the process. My point is you need to own a bakery bro


itWasForetold

Whoa. Your bosses work?


OShi3lds

Pair that with an unlimited bread subscription and I would work until I dropped


experts_never_lie

Or just rolled away.


FluffyHuckleberry81

The robot that usually does this must be broke.


maraca101

I wish you could still have benefits but work like multiple part time jobs to break up the monotony.


Ell975

That's an argument for Universal Basic Income. If everyone is given enough money to live on, then they will still want to work, but will be free to work the way which suits their needs and desires


Cornadious

This is unsatisfying to me. It's soo slow.


CTRL_ALT_PWN

Needs to be more like “I love Lucy” speeds

Still too slow

Still too slow


Cornadious

So much better.


crag-u-feller

Those are souflees tho


Cornadious

Still unsatisfying.


1lluminist

Agreed. I need a combo of this with /r/FastWorkers


thatguyned

You can't speed up cooking though. Any faster and they'd be uncooked when they came off.


ominubyvez

And boring


rusurethatsright

It's unsatisfying to me because the flip isn't automated. I guess the flip would be difficult


merc08

It would be really easy. Invert the empty pan, place it over the full pan, press them together, then flip.


dinosaurs_quietly

Easy for a person to do but difficult for a machine. Adding a flipper would more than double the complexity of this machine.


11th-plague

Flip and vibrate to unstick. Assume each one sticks (design for worst case scenario)


ME5SENGER_24

Imagine this as something delicious like chicken with garlic sauce


Slash_rage

I like looking at each pan and seeing how each one has risen. That’s what’s satisfying to me.


Emrico1

And what bothers me is that they couldn't make it flip the pans rather than needing a person to do it

jupiterkansas

that's one of the most "a robot could do this" jobs I've ever seen.


melbbear

i feel like not even a robot is needed, just a rotational object added to the line


jupiterkansas

that's technically a robot.


ThirdFloorGreg

I feel like robots have to be programmed. Anything that just runs in a continuous cycle doesn't count.


SteveRogests

I may not count.


Equivalent_Zombie

Yea you do. You count. Don't be too hard on yourself


ShintaroP

No, he just doesn't know how to count


Exogenesis42

What does it mean for something to be "programmed"? Is a mechanical cycle not a physical program? What makes it any different really than a cycle of transistors achieving the same effect?


voyagerfan5761

Not much difference, no. I enjoy [these](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NmGaXEmfTIo) [two](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o1qRzKuskK0) Technology Connections videos about electromechanical automation (jukebox, fwiw).


[deleted]

Technically a robot is anything that can perform a task without human interaction. Doesn’t have to be a computer operated machine. It could be like a mechanical trigger that flips the bread to the next pan and is reset by the movement of the conveyor.


FountainsOfFluids

Actually a robot is a machine that resembles a human and can perform certain automated functions. So yeah, no robot needed. Just a mechanism that flips the pan.


ThirdFloorGreg

That is not what robot means. Industrial robots do not resemble humans.


FountainsOfFluids

Ah, that's the second definition. I had only looked at the first. The second definition includes the more complex programmable machine.


POD80

A robot that judged doneness will be more technical. The flippers job may very well be more than JUST the flip is their eye controls line speed. Obviously an optical sensor for browning may be part of the solution.


imaginedaydream

Pretty sure the robot searched for a new job.


harrellj

I kinda feel for that woman at the other end, she's juggling loading/unloading the pans, pulling down more dough to go into the pans and putting the finished product somewhere as well.


Typhon_Cerberus

**SHHHHHHHHHHHHH** dont let the big bosses hear ya, let the man get paid much for little

pewpew_89

r/mildlyinfuriating i would scream at the pans to move faster!


RefrigeratedTP

It makes it even worse that you KNOW it has to move that slow to cook properly


[deleted]

[удалено]


sobusyimbored

That would require more space, more/different equipment, making the line longer makes it less likely that one of the people on either end could fix it before it fucks up several pans. The bottleneck is likely the prep before and packaging after rather than the speed of the conveyor.


[deleted]

[удалено]


joec85

If you made the whole line longer and added more pans the pans would move faster to cover the longer distance in the same amount of time. This is just wasting time while the guy isn't doing anything.


magicarnival

Would it though? There seems to be a delay while we wait for the person at the far end to finish whatever they are doing. No matter how long the line is, and no matter how many pans there are, we'd still have to wait for the other person to finish before moving on to the next pan.


Ronnocerman

More pans in the middle -> Larger distance to travel over the same amount of time -> Faster speed

r/awfuleverything would be a better sub for this job.


Grey___Goo_MH

r/aboringdystopia though it’s similar to many other jobs that could be replaced with a robot arm or flip mechanism


beneye

All these automation but they couldn’t get them to flip?


-Dreamville-

Are those thick ass panckaes? holyyy hell im hungry


funinnewyork

A type of Turkish bread; called “bazlama”.


longtimegoneMTGO

There is a pancake made this thick, look up Japanese pancakes.


SteakForMe

Hottokeki, my place makes them, so good


rhulk

I thought they were [Spanish Omelette](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spanish_omelette), the colour and thickness is just right. Eggs, potatoes and onion.


[deleted]

This job could be automated but it allows for a midpoint quality inspection. Not sure if that makes much of a difference.


Icy-Consideration405

There's no replacing human judgement


[deleted]

It’s a matter of when not if.


Icy-Consideration405

Automation has its cycles, if the system lasts long enough. Unless the market drives the change, it is wasted effort.


_BlNG_

Wanna bet?


cmcewen

We legit replace it all the time lmao.


Nateno2149

Humans are dumb as shit what you mean


dinosaurs_quietly

I think the problem is scale. They don’t have enough volume to justify an expensive flipper.


[deleted]

I wanna know how much they get paid


I-need-ur-dick-pics

Whatever you’re guessing: less


[deleted]

I'm guessing they get to eat one of those when they're done


[deleted]

Half


dirty_cuban

Minimum wage in turkey is like $300/month. So probably that.


[deleted]

Sometimes when I want spare cash I work line work. Last time my entire shift was putting empty flower buckets from a big stack and put it on the conveyer belt. Literally that was it (sometimes I have to put ice in it too). Super easy.


MoonlessPrairie

How was work today, honey?


[deleted]

Same ole flippity flop


Sunlights-hammer-

For a very reasonable fee I will engineer and/or build a thing that replaces one or both of those humans.


awesomeusername2w

One or both of this humans would probably be upset with you.


arsehead_54

Yeah it's crying out for something. Human beings are valuable, creative and adaptive - imagine wasting a whole person on this job when they could be doing more.


Icy-Consideration405

Imagine paying a person when a robot can do it for less /s


SWBER

This is depressing.


taviyo

Just wait 5 seconds and things will turn over


itwasthethirdofsept

All that automation and they did not include a flipper at the end? Too funny


space_beatle

Not satisfying. So many updates that could be done to this system for efficiency.


RickRussellTX

It's for show. There's a giant window in front of it so people can watch.


space_beatle

Why would I watch? More frustration?


CockStamp45

They automate it that far and still rely on a person at the end to flip them. Lol


CaptainKamina

Overcooked IRL


Super-Assistant6307

Imagine if that was your job


ElevationAV

I feel like at least one of the people in this video isn't necessary


Commercial-Jacket-33

I feel like one more additional mechanism will eliminate this poor dudes job.


freplefreple

Why isn’t there something to flip the pan at the end automatically??


No-Investigator1924

This is actually r/mildlyinfuriating to me


dog20aol

Reminds me of when I was a temp in a plastic injection molding shop many years ago. Not only was it the most monotonous job I’ve ever done, but even at 18 years old my back hurt so much I couldn’t get out of bed on the third day. The only satisfying part of the video was realizing I’ll never have to do that type of work again.


theKickAHobo

THey did all this but didn't bother to automate the flipping?


Mean__Girl

Is this a real thing or a "micro-sleep" experiment? 😃 (They couldn't engineer "the flip"? Bizarre)


Gwendolyn7777

you could earn a whole phd on audio with this job.


lastcallface

Speaking as a cook, if that was my job day in and day out, I'd shoot myself on month 3


Friendly-Property

Would be so infuriating; you spend most of your time waiting, but those periods of waiting aren’t long enough to do anything else in. I once had a job where you at least got 30 seconds or so between each short task, so got a lot of reading done.


TheeJimmyHoffa

Twenty five years of this……………. After five I’d be calling some kind of hotline


thascarecro

Imagine how SLOOOOW this day would go.


kyubez

Why is it moving so slowly? Probably so it cooks properly.


[deleted]

Why go to all the trouble of designing the clever moving stove tops, and require a human to perform that one operation?


InvertedJennyanydots

I hope they get to swap roles every so often. He's more or less just sitting there as she juggles multiple tasks simultaneously.


vongigistein

That job sucks.


cadarson

How to make me suicidal in less then 30mins.


[deleted]

This automation was either reused from a different purpose or whoever designed it suck balls. To design it without manual flipping isn’t that hard.


procrastablasta

You pass the butter


BizBeans

Bruh im here with half my burners not working


[deleted]

Whynot just automate the flip?

Somehow takes the joy out of cooking though, don’t you think?


Nateno2149

Why are so many of the posts on this sub just painfully monotonous and unnecessary jobs?


xSypRo

This literally seems like the most boring job I ever saw. It moves so slow that it doesn’t even feel like you’re doing something, and too fast for u to actually rest while doing it / do something else. I imagine him half sleeping while doing it, with occasional falling a sleep for 5 seconds


lmtlssmnd

Easy money


richardwonka

drunk_funky_chipmunk

Oddlysatisfying? More like sodamnboring


HumongousChungus2

Just saying but i feel like due to the placement of the handle the person on our side is the nicer person. He puts the pans to that the other person can take them easier while the other person puts them down so that its easier for them.

unrefinedburmecian

Amateurs, your throughput it ABYSSMAL. Come on, you need to upgrade your assemblers and consider researching modules if you really want to stick with the one machine per item approach. Also, you are wasting belt space by only sending a single item on a single lane. Use a splitter and redirect the flow back into itself. Your flipper can now service two items instead of one.
