minus-squareMutilationWave@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up0·9 months agoNah, second chain pointing forward rotating the opposite direction, with the teeth facing forward.
minus-squaremindbleach@sh.itjust.workslinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up0·9 months agoIf the chainsaw generates so much inertial that it challenges your trajectory, you’re doing something right.

Give this man a promotion!
