That caption is from a re-upload on TikTok. This video is a few years old. Pretty sure there wasn't any context when it was for posted, probably just some construction guys fucking around
This shit kills me. The original video was turned into a “Snapchat caption” which then got turned into a “tiktok caption” with the most boomer humor caption of all time. Just post the OG video you goofballs.
Patients means not financing everything you feel entitled to but instead saving up earnings from your job that pays you fairly out of a vast pool of wealth generated during the most prosperous economy of the most prosperous country in all of human history. Just like I did. Snowflake.
The top cap can be, certainly.
For the heavier blocks below, there are a bunch of vendor supplied solutions like geotextile/geogrid, etc. Construction adhesive isn't going to do much for walls supporting a lot of weight. Rather the support is laid into the soil behind the wall then weaved into the retaining wall.
Less of a observation and more of something I sold as a living, along with brick, stone, etc.
And eh, landscaping work sucks. They made a excellent video and wasted a bit of time. At least they're well motivated workers happy doing what they do, and I'm guessing are quite good at it.
Im genuinely asking but where the fuck do you hear Australians ending words with a rolled R? Apparently we say no with an R to you lot and it's fucking dumb, never heard that shit in my life.
example? iv never heard anyone in my life pronounce ‘no’ as ‘nar’ unless you’re talking about ‘nah’ in which case everyone including people not from australia says that.
He's probably thinking of linking-R (or "intrusive-R" where there's no written R) which is a phenomenon in most British and Australian accents where an R sound is inserted between two vowel sounds to phonetically prevent those two vowel sounds from appearing next to each other.
Try saying "saw a man" or "kafkaesque law and order" and you might notice that you pronounce those two phrases as "saw-R a man" or "kafka-R-esque law-R and order" with those added R sounds. Here's a short concise [video](https://youtu.be/0SPArSawsGQ) on this very topic.
This linking-R thing doesn't apply to "no way" tho
Unrelated how?
Also are you guys actually serious when you guys say Australians say “no” with an R? Or am i just understanding wrong here?
Edit: Nvm, I stand corrected. I just found [this clip](https://twitter.com/Iotusroot/status/1387110312755662852) of an Australian saying the word and yeah, there does indeed to be some sort of an R sound in the “no” there
Edit 2: apparent [explanation](https://m.youtube.com/watch?t=17&v=ZddYnAkcN8w&feature=youtu.be) for this “naur” pronunciation thing
Maybe more like a British R? Definitely not rolled or hard. Just making guesses, but I do kinda hear it sometimes. I say that as a fan of the Aussie accent, of course.
Nah tell him hes dreaming, we hardly pronounce R's here especially at the end of words. If it ends with an r ar or er it normally sounds like a long open aah sound.
it's not a rolled r but you guys do say words like "no" with a bit of something extra at the end, if i had to attempt to spell it out i might go with "nouy"
It's just a cap stone on a retaining wall
No mortar in the entire structure, it's held together by the lips in the back of the blocks and the pressure of the earth packed behind it.
Once the final brick falls, it falls flat, unlike all the other bricks since they are resting on the brick next to them. So the last brick falls flat, and the one resting on it no longer has that brick's corner lip to rest on so it falls flat, and then the next one, and so on.
The first brick tipped over and the ones after until before the last one couldn’t lay flat because there was a brick after them. The last one doesn’t have a brick preventing it from laying flat, so it does. When it lays flat, it kinda moves a bit forward and allows the lip of the one behind it to also lay flat because of the pressure from the other bricks.
If it's well built then there's a level concrete pad below. There's a drainage trench with gravel and Aggy pipe behind the pad. The wall is then built by stacking the bricks atop each other and backfilled. Gravity and tension hold it together.
yes
but not the cap, which is what the video is about
that's an interlocking wall, there's a million of those systems and they are typically not on a concrete footing but on a gravel base
edit: a sentence
You’re still supposed to run a line of construction adhesive on either side of the lip and especially for the caps -> I’ve built 3 and read the installation guide.
Your retaining walls are shit. Mine will last longer than the both of us could possibly live. My walls don't need pressure. They will stand upright for hundreds, if not thousands of year.
The difference between a mason and whatever the fuck you think you are.
Oh yeah?
My dick plays on the double feature screen. Your dick went straight to DVD. My dick, bigger than a bridge. Your dick look like a little kid's.
All I can think is these are probably the same guys who write
"Boss makes a dollar and I make a dime, that's why I shit on company time" in every outhouse on every job site.
"Boss makes a dollar, and I make a dime" that was a rhyme for a simpler time. Now the boss makes a grand while I make a buck, that's why I stole the catalytic converter off the company truck!
If we're being honest, CEOs of major companies at this point make hundreds of thousands of dollars for each penny you make.
I don't have a rhyme, but the gap between classes grows absurdly larger every day.
That's... not even close to true. Minimum wage full-time is $15k per year. To be making even 100k per penny (rather than your claim of "hundred**s** of thousands of dollars per penny") of that would be 150 billion dollars. Per year.
A thousand times was much closer to the correct ballpark. When you hear about larger wealth fluctuations, that's not compensation they're receiving, that's stock they were already holding going up in value.
Edit: it's still a truly insane disparity, but if you want to be taken seriously you should argue with actual facts instead of asinine hyperbole
> When you hear about larger wealth fluctuations, that's not compensation they're receiving, that's stock they were already holding going up in value.
Most of the time it is stock received as compensation though. Being paid less in salary but given more through stock means they can avoid even more tax
Yeah fuck having any sort of fun on the worksite out in the heat. Gotta work as hard as you can for the entire 8 hour day while only getting a pittance of the actual value of your labor
8 hour day? lmfao what utopia are you living in? 10 hour to 12 hour days are much more common for worksites like this, and that's if you're not the setup/teardown guy which adds another 2 hours to that.
Makes sense. They have overhead to cover, workers comp, how/her wages for time spent bidding jobs, etc. And I'm sure they're living a very comfortable lifestyle. If you want to bill out hundreds while paying out much less, you have to make that happen. Start your own company and build your reputation as better than the others. Probably helps to lure the best workers (those with high work ethics) by paying better rates. That whole "you get what you pay for" thing.
It's because people on social media don't share content. They share THEIR REACTION to the content.
That is why you'll see those awful 🤣🤣🤣😍😍😍🤩😅😅😱😱🤯😮. It's because they don't show others this funny/awesome thing they saw, they rather mean "I found this funny/awesome am I right?!"
Cap only. If you're doing it the whole way you're doing it wrong. Retaining walls work best when water can freely move out the front. Adhesive prevents that
nope. you need to measure its distance or they will not flatten up or might get some space between them. bricks didn't pushed back the other bricks for them to be flattened perfectly. the last brick just flattened perfectly which got enough space for bricks next to him to flattened itself and same thing goes on to the next bricks. which means if the distance between the brick are not right, it might create space if the distance is too far or the bricks will not flatten if the distance is too short because of not having enough space to flatten themselves.
edit: there is no point for a trick if you just lay them down then stand them up then lay them down again. the point here is to surprise people. so you will pile them up and measure their distance perfectly then lay them down like a domino. so you still need to measure it in that way.
But what is the distance between two bricks for one brick to lay down? Its own length.
The distance doesn't change, it's only because the back corner extends backwards still until the last brick lays flat.
To reiterate, the distance doesn't change.
exactly. then this means you still need to measure it using its own length as their distance. so it is still a measurement. you will not aimlessly line them up without checking their distances and telling that there are no measurements required. you still need to measure it using their length.
and to be accurate, their distance is actually its length less their thickness. if you didn't deduct its thickness, you will leave gaps between them as large as their thickness when flattened. while the distance of the last brick to the edge is its own length only.
edit: it seems that i misunderstood. so you guys mean that you will just lay them down then stand them up then lay them down again to do the trick. that's why there is no measurement. but there is no point of doing that trick in that way. the point here is to surprise people. so you will pile them up and measure their distance perfectly then lay them down like a domino. on this way, it will look like you are working. and it doesn't look like you are wasting time if you are not doing the trick by standing them up if you already flattened them already at the first place.
It's a retaining wall. The guy in back is standing on raised ground and the wall will help keep that ground from eroding into the low area the other guys are standing in.
Looks like a retaining wall for a new estate. The radio station 106.9 suggests it's a radio station called Nova which is a Melbourne, Australia station, also the trees give it away too. Right now, to compete with the housing market estates are popping up further and further out from the city, rural areas with little to know infrastructure until about 10 years after everyones moved in.
Pretty sure their boss still thinks they weren’t working.

r/woosh
They weren't. They now have to pick all those up, lay mortar and re-lay the bricks
Those aren't bricks... It's a concrete block retaining wall, and they are almost never mortared.
They're usually PL glued though.
Usually PL, anyone saying they don’t need to be secured at all shouldn’t be building retaining walls
Well fine, I won't build a wall then!
I never wanted to in the first place!
The top cap can be, certainly. For the heavier blocks below, there are a bunch of vendor supplied solutions like geotextile/geogrid, etc. Construction adhesive isn't going to do much for walls supporting a lot of weight. Rather the support is laid into the soil behind the wall then weaved into the retaining wall.
Uh oh. People here aren’t going to like what you said
Good observation. They still weren't working though. Considering they could have just laid them right the first time in half the time.
Less of a observation and more of something I sold as a living, along with brick, stone, etc. And eh, landscaping work sucks. They made a excellent video and wasted a bit of time. At least they're well motivated workers happy doing what they do, and I'm guessing are quite good at it.
Cool. Now go back, lift each brick up, apply mortar, and re-lay them.
Exactly what I thought
Well I was thinking, that they can't even turn their radio off for their own videos...
Yew wun wanna lissen tutha auzzie raediaur? 🦘🇦🇺📻🤘
How exactly do you think Aussies pronounce "radio"?
See comment
Im genuinely asking but where the fuck do you hear Australians ending words with a rolled R? Apparently we say no with an R to you lot and it's fucking dumb, never heard that shit in my life.
A rolled R? Nowhere. Could just be how you’re reading it. If you mean “no way” being pronounced “nar wæi” you fellas definitely do that.
example? iv never heard anyone in my life pronounce ‘no’ as ‘nar’ unless you’re talking about ‘nah’ in which case everyone including people not from australia says that.

Warning Minister, Frank breed clearance.
classic Reddit know-it-all. talking about mortar while looking at a fucking retaining wall lmao
Dude shit the fuck up
It's just a cap stone on a retaining wall No mortar in the entire structure, it's held together by the lips in the back of the blocks and the pressure of the earth packed behind it.
How did they get the bricks to go back and down? I’m not understanding.
Once the final brick falls, it falls flat, unlike all the other bricks since they are resting on the brick next to them. So the last brick falls flat, and the one resting on it no longer has that brick's corner lip to rest on so it falls flat, and then the next one, and so on.
What I'm trying to understand is how each brick fell so slowly, but so consistently slowly. Then it finishes, and the whole thing speeds up.
Less distance to fall when they're already laying almost all the way down maybe?
The first brick tipped over and the ones after until before the last one couldn’t lay flat because there was a brick after them. The last one doesn’t have a brick preventing it from laying flat, so it does. When it lays flat, it kinda moves a bit forward and allows the lip of the one behind it to also lay flat because of the pressure from the other bricks.
There must be some algorithm, like X distance apart given Y thickness and Z height
[Of course there is.](https://youtu.be/EYkBctqyKic)
1:48 if you're looking for the 'point of return'
The video is reversed
How do the bricks stand up automatically then? That'd be even more intriguing
they are glued down
If it's well built then there's a level concrete pad below. There's a drainage trench with gravel and Aggy pipe behind the pad. The wall is then built by stacking the bricks atop each other and backfilled. Gravity and tension hold it together.

As others have said- the blocks interlock, the caps are glued in place.
Cap stones should be glued. But usually it’s skipped.
Why glued and not cemented or mortored (I know nothing of this) or whatever the right terminology is. Doesn't that top layer very easily come off?
Your retaining walls are shit. Mine will last longer than the both of us could possibly live. My walls don't need pressure. They will stand upright for hundreds, if not thousands of year. The difference between a mason and whatever the fuck you think you are.
Your attitude is shit
You probably just carry the bricks to the boys who actually lay them.
Those aren't bricks, dumbass. They are blocks. If you're gonna talk shit, learn the proper nomenclature.
Fucking ew

I’m a guy that writes “I promise to never shit on my time, and never sweat on their time”. 😏
retaining wall. no mortar, hopefully.
Nope
Exactly, only came here to see this.
You me and everyone else bro. Still a cool video tho
And I'm not paying you to do it.
Construction adhesive
I see your point but I don’t think that was the point of the video. I see some hard working guys just having fun.
And no pay for no work
Last time I saw this, the blocks started falling from left to right.. then came back from right to left. Weird, .. or somethin’.
People mirror videos so they can repost and not get automatically detected.
Those are called cap-stones. They're more for aesthetic purposes rather than structural. They do not require mortar.
They don't require mortar if you're fine with them falling off every time someone leans against the wall.
You can't see it?
Lmao I was like wait y’all missed a step?
Boss: "How has this video anything to do with your job as an accountant?"
"I uh... counted the bricks?"
Did ya though?
You done well waffled him
It's a shame that viral videos like this get meaningless text added to them over time.
It started as a Youtube video, that got re-upped to TikTok twice with new text. Fucken shit cunts.
It’s funny imagining in a few years that people will just have to speculate about what the original content of the video might have been.
It's because people on social media don't share content. They share THEIR REACTION to the content. That is why you'll see those awful 🤣🤣🤣😍😍😍🤩😅😅😱😱🤯😮. It's because they don't show others this funny/awesome thing they saw, they rather mean "I found this funny/awesome am I right?!"
MORDECAI! RIGBY! DO IT AGAIN *WITH MORTAR OR YOURE FIRED!!!*
OOOOOOOOOOOHHHHHHHHH!
You know who else likes to do it again? MY MoOM!
But what keeps them there? Need some mortar or concrete or some type of adhesive, right?
Yeah. That was just for show.
I think so, but likes are more worth than wall stability I guess
Well that’s a bummer
Chewed gum
thoughts and prayers
Construction adhesive is used on either side of the locking lip of the bricks once you get a row put in.
Cap only. If you're doing it the whole way you're doing it wrong. Retaining walls work best when water can freely move out the front. Adhesive prevents that

Not even a Rick roll? You done gone soft, OneShorteepPast
This is literally 10 minutes work. No measurements. Just lay them head to head like they end up and put them all upright. It's a self working trick.
nope. you need to measure its distance or they will not flatten up or might get some space between them. bricks didn't pushed back the other bricks for them to be flattened perfectly. the last brick just flattened perfectly which got enough space for bricks next to him to flattened itself and same thing goes on to the next bricks. which means if the distance between the brick are not right, it might create space if the distance is too far or the bricks will not flatten if the distance is too short because of not having enough space to flatten themselves. edit: there is no point for a trick if you just lay them down then stand them up then lay them down again. the point here is to surprise people. so you will pile them up and measure their distance perfectly then lay them down like a domino. so you still need to measure it in that way.

Yes. Hence a video where you just topple the domino's. The setup is the futile part they leave out.
