Ancient memes are so charming
There is some innocence and optimism regarding the Internet.
EDIT: And the most important of them all: sincerity. Not everything was wrapped in over 9000 layers of irony.
That meme is a quarter century old (older if you count it’s actual source instead of the video that made it popular)
The source material isn’t even 25 years old. Right? Right…?

Am forklift driver. Can confirm this is how you reach the top shelves.
How do you actually grab something off the shelves, if both lifts are keeping the other up?
You’re supposed to put a third forklift (using a fourth forklift) on top of the first two
That a professional secret!
I’m up here on a scissor lift. I get real high and my shit is janky and steers like a whale. Actually we’ll all get out manoeuvred when the whales come, but I’ll be up there, clinging to a mast. Well, anti-gravity forklifts might pose some threat to one clinging to an anomalous ship mast in a warehouse BUT! I have your clipboards!

Instructions unclear, but appears to work fine
Health and safety rules be damned
U mad bro?
I’m not ashamed to admit I thought about it and even thought it would work, as a kid
I even dreamt about it regularly (I was obsessed with flying)
What’s messing me up is that I can’t figure out what actually would happen. I know the answer isn’t flight, but I’m not sure what to imagine instead. Would they flip each other over? Or would it just kinda mangle the pegs?
It depends, but must of these lifts aren’t rated to lift themselves, so they would groan and make noise, but not go anywhere.
Same thing that would happen if you tried to lift your friend while they tried to lift you.
Or, to remove the layer of indirection: grab your own feet and lift up. Same thing as that.
So basically nothing besides some probable self-inflicted mechanical damage?
If anything happened it would just be mechanical damage, yeah.
But like the other guy said, I think they would probably just sit there and groan as they tried to compress each other’s frames.
The fork of forklift B is under forklift A. If forklift A tries to lift formlift B, it cannot, because the fork of forklift B would get lifted up as well, but is stuck underneath forklift A.
Therefore, you can achieve the precisely same result by removing forklift B from the equation and turning the fork of forklift A around so that it is pointing backwards and underneath forklift A itself. Now, with your own form underneath yourself, lift the fork up.
It does not matter who the fork stuck underneath you officially belongs to, if what you are trying to do is to lift said fork up.
That’s pretty much how a Klang drive works in Space Engineers.
Also prop jumping in Source games like Portal
What year is it
A good year. Well, better than 2026.
Year of meme reset
I mean, more like elevator.
Oh! Unless, they’re using the wheels to move back and forth and steer? That would make sense.
This works in some physics engines. Might be a game guide.
Space Engineers, for one. Janky-ass physics engine.
This is why they require certification
Wow, a powered machine consuming energy can achieve flight?
This changes everything!you don’t get it
He might have been…
…trolling.
