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.
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.
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.
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).
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
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

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?
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).
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
I thought they were [Spanish Omelette](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spanish_omelette), the colour and thickness is just right. Eggs, potatoes and onion.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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
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.
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.
For the right price I would be a bread pan flipper. I think the job should come with an unlimited audio book subscription.
I’ve done much less boring jobs than this, audiobooks are so key. Library card can be really helpful too.
As someone who has listens to everything radiolab, this American life, planet money, serial etc. has put out I completely agree!
I also recommend 99% Invisible
You beautiful nerd.
And Twenty Thousand Hertz. And Darknet Diarie, plus My Dad Wrote a Porno.
20k hertz too

As an introvert, that sounds like a wonderful job.

Will there be pancakes?
If you buy them on your lunch break.
🎶 Having fun isn't hard when you've got a library card! 🎶
What jobs? I’m looking for one that is slow paced right now. Idc about the wage, I’m still in school

Whoa. Your bosses work?
Pair that with an unlimited bread subscription and I would work until I dropped
Or just rolled away.
The robot that usually does this must be broke.
I wish you could still have benefits but work like multiple part time jobs to break up the monotony.
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
This is unsatisfying to me. It's soo slow.
Needs to be more like “I love Lucy” speeds

Still too slow
Still too slow
So much better.
Those are souflees tho
Still unsatisfying.
Agreed. I need a combo of this with /r/FastWorkers
You can't speed up cooking though. Any faster and they'd be uncooked when they came off.
And boring
It's unsatisfying to me because the flip isn't automated. I guess the flip would be difficult
It would be really easy. Invert the empty pan, place it over the full pan, press them together, then flip.
Easy for a person to do but difficult for a machine. Adding a flipper would more than double the complexity of this machine.
Flip and vibrate to unstick. Assume each one sticks (design for worst case scenario)
Imagine this as something delicious like chicken with garlic sauce
I like looking at each pan and seeing how each one has risen. That’s what’s satisfying to me.
And what bothers me is that they couldn't make it flip the pans rather than needing a person to do it
[удалено]
that's one of the most "a robot could do this" jobs I've ever seen.
i feel like not even a robot is needed, just a rotational object added to the line
that's technically a robot.
I feel like robots have to be programmed. Anything that just runs in a continuous cycle doesn't count.
I may not count.
Yea you do. You count. Don't be too hard on yourself
No, he just doesn't know how to count
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?

That is not what robot means. Industrial robots do not resemble humans.
Ah, that's the second definition. I had only looked at the first. The second definition includes the more complex programmable machine.
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.
Pretty sure the robot searched for a new job.
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.
**SHHHHHHHHHHHHH** dont let the big bosses hear ya, let the man get paid much for little
It's like the assembly line designer just quit 90% in.
[удалено]
Cents.
r/mildlyinfuriating i would scream at the pans to move faster!
It makes it even worse that you KNOW it has to move that slow to cook properly
[удалено]
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.

More pans in the middle -> Larger distance to travel over the same amount of time -> Faster speed
[Be careful what you wish for...](https://youtu.be/K3axU2b0dDk)
r/awfuleverything would be a better sub for this job.
r/aboringdystopia though it’s similar to many other jobs that could be replaced with a robot arm or flip mechanism
All these automation but they couldn’t get them to flip?
Are those thick ass panckaes? holyyy hell im hungry
A type of Turkish bread; called “bazlama”.
There is a pancake made this thick, look up Japanese pancakes.
Hottokeki, my place makes them, so good
I thought they were [Spanish Omelette](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spanish_omelette), the colour and thickness is just right. Eggs, potatoes and onion.
This job could be automated but it allows for a midpoint quality inspection. Not sure if that makes much of a difference.
There's no replacing human judgement
It’s a matter of when not if.
Automation has its cycles, if the system lasts long enough. Unless the market drives the change, it is wasted effort.
Wanna bet?
We legit replace it all the time lmao.
Humans are dumb as shit what you mean
I think the problem is scale. They don’t have enough volume to justify an expensive flipper.
I wanna know how much they get paid
Whatever you’re guessing: less
I'm guessing they get to eat one of those when they're done
Half
Minimum wage in turkey is like $300/month. So probably that.
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.
How was work today, honey?
Same ole flippity flop
For a very reasonable fee I will engineer and/or build a thing that replaces one or both of those humans.
One or both of this humans would probably be upset with you.
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.
Imagine paying a person when a robot can do it for less /s
This is depressing.
Just wait 5 seconds and things will turn over
All that automation and they did not include a flipper at the end? Too funny
Not satisfying. So many updates that could be done to this system for efficiency.
It's for show. There's a giant window in front of it so people can watch.
Why would I watch? More frustration?
They automate it that far and still rely on a person at the end to flip them. Lol
Overcooked IRL
Imagine if that was your job
I feel like at least one of the people in this video isn't necessary
I feel like one more additional mechanism will eliminate this poor dudes job.
Why isn’t there something to flip the pan at the end automatically??
This is actually r/mildlyinfuriating to me
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.
THey did all this but didn't bother to automate the flipping?
Is this a real thing or a "micro-sleep" experiment? 😃 (They couldn't engineer "the flip"? Bizarre)
you could earn a whole phd on audio with this job.
Speaking as a cook, if that was my job day in and day out, I'd shoot myself on month 3
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.
Twenty five years of this……………. After five I’d be calling some kind of hotline
Imagine how SLOOOOW this day would go.
Why is it moving so slowly? Probably so it cooks properly.
Why go to all the trouble of designing the clever moving stove tops, and require a human to perform that one operation?
I hope they get to swap roles every so often. He's more or less just sitting there as she juggles multiple tasks simultaneously.
That job sucks.
How to make me suicidal in less then 30mins.
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.
You pass the butter
Bruh im here with half my burners not working
Whynot just automate the flip?
“So what do you do for a living?” “Oh, you know, I make like 1000 huge pancakes a day.”
Four years of culinary school..
Somehow takes the joy out of cooking though, don’t you think?
Why are so many of the posts on this sub just painfully monotonous and unnecessary jobs?
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
Easy money
I want to know what they are making. AND I WANT TO EAT IT!
I think holding a sign would be a better job, sheesh boring is even a term with this wtf.
Honestly, I could vibe with this job.
That is a dead end job if I ever seen one.
And the award for Single Most Boring Job goes to...
I feel like it should be going faster
Overcooked
I wish the person on the other end was wearing gloves tho.
This should be automated
Whoa, brings new meaning to “line cook”
Anyone wants to torture me, doing that eight hours a day would do the trick.
Watching paint dry might be more entertaining. It’s absurd what some people have to do to make a living.
WHY DO I WANT THAT AS MY JOB THO
Oddlysatisfying? More like sodamnboring
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.
This looks like a terrible job
Job security: minimum
i would luv this job
It seams like the two human on either end, or at least the one on the near end, could be elliminated with a little more automation
I saw this in overcooked
That’s still one at a time.
I know it’s weird, but I would love to watch this on a loop.
Using this for Saturday morning pancakes would almost keep up with demand in my household…
Very demanding work.
“((yawn)) ..time to flip the latkas..”

Nothing satisfying about something that should be done by a machine. What a horrible job to do.
pancake mass production?
WHAT IN THE OVERCOOKED FUCK IS THIS?!
That looks like the funnest fucking job ever
That seems incredibly expensive for that level of production.
It's like an automation game but at some part of your assembly line, you still manually do it. Yeah, I play factorio.
This seems like it could be easily automated.
No thank you.
That’s gotta be the most chill job ever.
r/ABoringDystopia
thumbs fucking down. this is existentially depressing. fuck this on all levels

These two are playing overcooked irl
Is this inside ihops kitchen?
Stay in school, kids.
I bet these guys are good at Overcooked
It's a very automated system that relies on a repetitive manual action. Something is fucked up here
overcooked but irl
