Does she just like, go to high schools below the mason dixon line and do this to all the trucks in the parking lot or what? I don't understand because I see her videos all the time too and it's always just a bunch of redneck teens acting like she's some god for fucking up their paint job with her angle grinder.
I was very out of the loop there for a moment, but a bit of searching turned up "Toss a coin to your Witcher, O Valley of Plenty! O Valley of Plenty!" … yeah, I need to get around to reading/playing/watching The Witcher, don't I.
Playing and reading yeah. Watching the show? Not recommended. The script writers were more interested in using their own ideas and moved away from source material that even Henry Cavill as Geralt couldn’t bear staying on the show. And you could consider him the ultimate nerd in these regards.
I wish they hadn’t but I definitely will stay away from anything they come up with (and I liked the first two seasons a lot).
That’s what drives me crazy about this. I’ve taught industrial safety for years, and angle grinder without a face shield is a no-no and a half. All it takes is one grinding wheel to blow apart and she’ll have a completely different face.
A thin cutting wheel is brittle and can break apart; she's using a sanding disc so like one in a million for it to break. And all the debris is shooting to one direction so it's kinda dumb she doesnt have glasses on, but it's low on the list of stupid things that regularly occur.
This is why they have expiration dates. The resin that binds the abrasive to the backing and basically holds it all together has a shelf life of like 2-3 years.
Stupidly, the expiration dates are not obvious - they're like "V01/26" meaning quarter 1 of 2026 - so most people who see them don't understand.
Bottom line is that a barely used five year old disc is dangerous while a heavily used 6 month old one is not.
More common with zipcut blades, especially cheap ones.
But if you get the "dished" ones from a reputable brand like Walter, they're much less likely to blow apart. Still possible and I'd still recommend a face shield, but less likely.
PPE is not the first line of defense, it's the last. The idea is that your googles and mask should only be used when every other safety procedure has failed. Inspecting the tool for defects before use is the best way to prevent catastrophic failure
It's not common, but that thing is spinning at 5,000-10,000 rpm so when it lets go the pieces can move at like 60 meters/second. Somewhere I have a photo of one that exploded and embedded itself in my friend's face shield. It gave him a tiny little nick on the nose, but without the shield he would've needed reconstructive surgery.
Unless they literally hit your eyeball, there's not much danger from them. It's not like they're good for you, but metal sparks are functionally just warm metal dust at the end of the day.
No. But the metal dust in the eyes, the paint she's so close and is probably breathing in, and if the grinder gets weak enough the disk will pop like a balloon changing the structure of her face faster than ICE reacting to a Mexican being born in america.
Ive had wheels blow up in my face as someone moved the piece and it bound, and I got a couple minor scrapes. My safety glasses were just gritty no scratches. Suffice it to say I wouldn't want any of it in my eye but it loses a ton of energy just in breaking and then flying and the pieces are abrasive and held together by internal webbing so it kind of stays together.
The issue is hoodie strings because it will wind up intact straight into your face. Loose hair as again winding and bare hands as it will without much pressure grind down to bone. The handles and guards help with that but then you cant get it into awkward tight spots so I never saw a grinder with those on. Even through welding gloves it can nip you.
When cutting stand beside it and make sure the sparks are well away from you and most of this is moot.
Not even touching eye or lung protection, (although one could argue you could hold your breath or exhale if it’s a quick grind but still)
ETA; she should tuck in the strings and get some cute bedazzled goggles or something at a minimum. A mask would be perfect but as I said-the other stuff I feel is more important.
Yeah I had this done. I wasn't sure what to do about it, I thought about putting a clear coat to stop the rust. But instead, at the end of the day, I just blue myself.
No. She actually does this so regularly that people just trust in her mad skills. What they don't know is she's distracting them with her mad skills so she can funnel business to her brother's shop. He does rust repair.
All the dealerships in my town put their name on your car unless you tell them not to. Need everyone to know you bought it at O'Brien Honda or whatever. It's not ground into the trunk, but still.
During the last two vehicles I've purchased, one new and one used, I've insisted that the dealer sign a single addendum to the sales contract "The seller agrees, at time of delivery, the vehicle will not include any badge, sticker, frame, or other item identifying the dealership. Any deviation from this agreement without written consent of the buyer, is grounds for cancelling the purchase at no cost to the buyer."
When I have to do this again, I'm adding "or otherwise altering the vehicle, outside of test-drive and other reasonable mileage, from its condition as delivered by the manufacturer." after seeing the name plate the dealer riveted to my buddy's new truck's tailgate.
When he balked they removed the plate and stuck a couple of rubber plugs in the holes. He took delivery and is waiting on a replacement tailgate at their expense.
I just bought a truck this past weekend, and there are stickers from all 3 dealers that ever sold it. I was so done with the deal by the end, that I forgot to ask them to take the stickers off.
This is very cool but the lack of ppe is concerning. This gives me the same feeling that all the videos of people doing cool shit on skateboards or roller blades or whatever with no helmet on give me.
This, people are on here talking shit, but when you can write your name into a tailgate with an angle grinder better than I can on a piece of paper I'm impressed.
This is the only thing I know her for, and although I think it is ridiculous of people to ask her (pay her, maybe) to do this, she is extremely good at it and for that I am impressed.
Mods have pinned a comment by u/BotShowsMiddleFinger:
Oh is that what the grindr app is for? To find someone to work on your tailgate?
Sort of...
Wow, it worked. Thanks internet strangers.
Nobody told me it was so easy to get sucked off!
Sucked off? I thought they worked on your tailgate?!
Tailpipe*
Exhausting work
Trying to imagine this on a human is cursed af.
Gotta walk before you can run there champ.
🤣🤣🤣🤣
She knows how to work a tailgate
This may be the greatest answer to a comment ever.

Please never post this again.
It's a pickup app, yes
Winning comment to an already winning comment.
Excellent, both of you. Made my evening.
In a sense, yes.
No, it’s to help you memorise Bible verses.
Is that why so many pastors are on it?
Yup. And upstanding Christian husbands and teenage boys.
It's all part of their outreach program... to bring love and acceptance to Christian men.
Yes but typically it’s a dude.
In a way, yes. Yes it is.
I think they prefer to work on tailpipes more than tailgates.
Oh so you want someone's Junk in your trunk?
You might get rear ended that way.
Or your trailer hitch
Finally she is putting her hair up. I’ve seen so many close calls with her.
Does she just like, go to high schools below the mason dixon line and do this to all the trucks in the parking lot or what? I don't understand because I see her videos all the time too and it's always just a bunch of redneck teens acting like she's some god for fucking up their paint job with her angle grinder.
Simps are a plenty.
Toss a coin to your Bitches, Oh simps are a plenty, oh simps are a plenty, oh
I liked this more than I wish I did
Toss a coin yo your Bitches, oh simps are plentyyyyyyyyeeeeeeeEEEEEEEEEEE
I was very out of the loop there for a moment, but a bit of searching turned up "Toss a coin to your Witcher, O Valley of Plenty! O Valley of Plenty!" … yeah, I need to get around to reading/playing/watching The Witcher, don't I.
Yes. Yes you do
Will do. Your username conveys all the credibility needed.
Playing and reading yeah. Watching the show? Not recommended. The script writers were more interested in using their own ideas and moved away from source material that even Henry Cavill as Geralt couldn’t bear staying on the show. And you could consider him the ultimate nerd in these regards.
I wish they hadn’t but I definitely will stay away from anything they come up with (and I liked the first two seasons a lot).
No, I don't want her to do that to my car, but those are some god-like angle grinder skills.
Can't wait for the rust to scab it over like a prison tattoo
Tbf they clear coat it and seal it.
Still gawd awful.
I think it looks great.
Grind Goddess, /tipstruckerhat, might you bless my squatted truck with your blessed signature?
I think so. I've seen just the tailgates signed on marketplace.
She's got her Safety Squints™ on so it's all good.
That’s what drives me crazy about this. I’ve taught industrial safety for years, and angle grinder without a face shield is a no-no and a half. All it takes is one grinding wheel to blow apart and she’ll have a completely different face.
I’ve always just used like goggles and a good mask when grinding stuff. How common is it for a wheel to blow apart?
It's not super common in my experience, but it only takes once. They're not called Death Wheels for nothing 😉
All new to me. Thanks!
Those fiber cut off disks turn into ninja stars when they bust. A neck or face shot can be disfiguring or even lethal. Respect the spinny bits
TIL
That doesn’t look like a think kerf cutoff wheel, I’m pretty sure it’s a flap disc. Still smart to wear glasses at least
A thin cutting wheel is brittle and can break apart; she's using a sanding disc so like one in a million for it to break. And all the debris is shooting to one direction so it's kinda dumb she doesnt have glasses on, but it's low on the list of stupid things that regularly occur.
It only has to happen once.
This is why they have expiration dates. The resin that binds the abrasive to the backing and basically holds it all together has a shelf life of like 2-3 years.

Are the flying sparks not dangerous enough?
No
Unless they literally hit your eyeball, there's not much danger from them. It's not like they're good for you, but metal sparks are functionally just warm metal dust at the end of the day.
And tiny bits of carbon/diamond from the wheel itself!
Not to mention all that paint dust too
Can set your shirt on fire if you are grinding a rooster tail at you. Ask me how I know.
No. But the metal dust in the eyes, the paint she's so close and is probably breathing in, and if the grinder gets weak enough the disk will pop like a balloon changing the structure of her face faster than ICE reacting to a Mexican being born in america.

I had a fibre blade on a 21 inch cutoff saw blow up once! Didn't touch me, but a piece embedded itself into my foreman's safety glasses.
It’s not a grinding wheel
I was thinking the same thing. Metal dust in the eye, for me, is worse than the fish that'll eat the inside of your junk.
Next time maybe she’ll Sport some goggles.
But the strings on the hoodie…
Not even touching eye or lung protection, (although one could argue you could hold your breath or exhale if it’s a quick grind but still)
ETA; she should tuck in the strings and get some cute bedazzled goggles or something at a minimum. A mask would be perfect but as I said-the other stuff I feel is more important.
But safety glasses are a bridge too far for her.
When she ties her hair, I thought in public!?
You know something good is gonna happen when she puts her hair up
Haha I thought this too!
I've gotten slag in my eye before. I'm wondering why the hell she ain't wearing eye protection!
If I tried that, there would be a single streak across the tailgate and the grinder would end up in the bed of the next truck.
Yeah, while this seems like a stupid thing to have someone do to your tailgate, I can’t help but appreciate the excellence execution with the grinder.
It really was beautifully done lol
Should rust nicely too.
that's patina to you.
Is that her name?
Yes, when she earns her eye patch she will be Patina the Pirate.
You mean Dodge factory undercoating.
It's ATBGE.
Same and I do a shit ton of metal working at work. I just don't have finesse.
Like trying to hold an angry cat
I hope they put a new clear coat or something on that tailgate.
Was thinking the same thing, would rust into an unsightly mess if not.
Bonus points if they attempt to just wipe off that dust and it surface scratches the shit out of the surrounding clear coat.
Not true. They actually do a controlled rust called bluing. It turns it into a deep dark blue, almost black color and resists rusting after that.
Yeah I had this done. I wasn't sure what to do about it, I thought about putting a clear coat to stop the rust. But instead, at the end of the day, I just blue myself.

With a blue little window?
And a blue Corvette
No risk of rust when it's already rusty

/s
There are states where this would rust due to winter salt.
What about the ones with ocean air?
What about any location on the planet that has a humidity higher than zero percent?
laughs in Arizona
Dang, literally was about to say this...
You had to say this on the ONE day a year we get rain.
I'll say it every day if it'll make it rain more 🤣
most modern trucks have aluminum hoods and tailgates now
Rusted is the new black.
2025 -Did they use a sealer?
They’re gonna need a good sealer alright, no one wants their
pennies tarnishedtailgate rusted.When she put up her hair I thought she was gonna do other stuff
So you’re the guy staring in the window at the hair salon.
No! I'm in the ceiling!

Same! Basketball is always best played without hair in your face.
Suck the vehicle's tailpipe?
Who is she and why are people asking her to do this?
She works on trucks or something like that if I remember correctly. Like an influence or something that's a celebrity to a certain group of people.
Stealing r/thedollop thunder. They signed cars before anyone else!
This will not become a tickling podcast.

Lindsay Buckingham doesn’t look anything like I expected! He’s got a super girly signature, too. Bro is super steady with an angle grinder though!
And yes, she has one.
[deleted]
All the way down to the bare metal, you might say.
No fuckin glasses
And no guard on the angle grinder.
At least it's not a cutting disc. Those things explode and embed themselves in eyes and anything else in the way.
A simple google image search can make you never want to take the guard off of that tool.
Glasses, gloves, mask, or GTFO!
And hairtie!
Please tell me that's not her name. Why would you want someone else's name scratched on your truck?
Same reason people want famous people to sign a bunch of random stuff.
Excuse me, big fan, could you please autogrind my truck?
if jeff goldblum could do this to my pontiac aztek i’d pay whatever number he says
What if he wanted $65k?! You spending that on a $3500 car?
fun fact: you only need 1 kidney
I'll grind Jeff Goldblum's name into your car for half that price.
Yes. Is this a question?
There's a fair chance you already have someone else's name on your vehicle...
I have a Ford so yes
Sorry for your loss
Good old Steve Lexus

It’s basically like getting free graffiti from the Banksy of your niche group. Or an autograph.
dont tell this guy about autographs
This is very cool but the lack of ppe is concerning. This gives me the same feeling that all the videos of people doing cool shit on skateboards or roller blades or whatever with no helmet on give me.
Going to rust in days
Clean it and clear it
You say that like you think they finished the project.
modern trucks have aluminum hoods and tailgates
I can’t write that neatly with pen and paper.
This, people are on here talking shit, but when you can write your name into a tailgate with an angle grinder better than I can on a piece of paper I'm impressed.
It's terrible, but in a very skillful way
This is her when she's not grinding:

No phones or eye protection in sight, just living in the moment 🙏🤗
Safety squints activate.
This is the only thing I know her for, and although I think it is ridiculous of people to ask her (pay her, maybe) to do this, she is extremely good at it and for that I am impressed.
That girl is breathing in some stuff she should not be breathing in
One can hold one's breath for 26 seconds.
I don't need that long.
It's not centered.
"Who are you, and what the hell did you just do to my truck?!"
-Dude who walks up at the end
Using a grinder and her handwriting is still way better than I can do with a pen and paper.
Yes, she gives autographs because she's famous for giving autographs.
LINDSAY BERCOSKY
Shes the motherfuckin G R N D
so many people in this comment section unaware of the existence of clearcoat
or that most trucks have aluminum tailgates and hoods
Damn. Redditors really do hate women lol. Some of these comments are wild.
I think a chicken could write my signature better than me...
I have that was very impressive.
But why?
Thats going to rust beautifully!
If she wasn't hot this would never happen
Those hoodie drawstrings probably needed to be tucked away.
imagine being the gf
Not saying I would, but to have "mama tried" in script on the corner of my already dented aluminum tailgate....
Don't breathe this...
i always said that looking cool is more important than not inhaling paint
Not the grinding I was expecting, but somehow even better!
No safety glasses!!!
That will rust up nice

No safety glasses?
shouldn't she be keying the truck and carving her name into the leather seats? Thought that was how people did things 'round here
Grinder with no guard! I'm calling OSHA
