Watching old Italian women make pasta gives me that sense of awe, they're just so skilled and everything turns out perfectly and identical blows my mind
I suspect it requires something more than just practice. Every time I do some manual labour in an automated way I eventually mess up. Couldn't do it for very long. There must be some excellent eye and hand coordination going on.
Pretty sure that guy greenscreened himself in, the camera angle seems to be looking upwards at him slightly instead of straight-on, the lighting on him seems different to the background, and his edge seems unnaturally sharp especially considering the pole in front of him seems to have a blurry rotoscope mask. (I have done a fair bit of video compositing over the last 23 years)

Whenever there is a clip of someone doing some repetitive work well there is always someone who makes this naive unskilled labor remark... Always in the first 5 -10 comments. Then someone inevitably needs to explain what the difference is and then bla bla.. someone's a janitor, someone thinks pay needs to be higher. so boring. stop already. This is rage bait
Most jobs can be learned on the go. Doing that is called an apprenticeship. No, for the most part, "unskilled" just means "I don't want to pay you above minimum wage". Even cooking hamburgers or cleaning offices takes skill.
I agree that pay needs to be better overall and that some people are needlessly vitriolic towards minimum wage workers, but the reality is that some jobs are simpler and can be learned and performed, at an acceptable level, quickly by anyone, even if a higher level of skill on them yields better results Those jobs are the ones that people incorrectly refer to as unskilled. Those jobs pay less simply because of supply and demand due to how large the work pool is compared to more specialized jobs
Eh, tendons in a chicken's knee aren't particularly tough. That is a remarkably sharp knife based on how smoothly it cuts through the muscle and skin, certainly makes the task much easier, but it'll still do fine when it's not perfectly sharp after a few more legs
People here are obsessed with meat cutters wearing those gloves... they are not necessary. If you know what you're doing, it's damn near impossible to cut yourself.
These are brilliant! I am not coordinated enough to pull anything like any of this off... I also wonder if these people learned this on their own, or were taught these techniques?
Yeah, a lot of it actually depends on proprioception, balance, and nerve responsiveness, all of which can be affected by various health issues or neurological variations. I have autism and hypermobility Elhers-Danlos Syndrome, both of which impact the systems in question and both of which include clumsiness as a potential symptom.
Well shit. I got ADHD and aspergers and I was clumsy as a child. Then I started doing kung fu as well as working as a bartender to pay for my studies. The martial arts did wonders for the coarse motor skills but it was honestly bartending that made the greatest difference. Having to perform precise fine motoric movements under stress while dodging the other staff running past me, in poor lighting, for an extended time. Suddenly I learned to move! Then later I got into slacklining and yoga.
Point being, sure there's all kinds of debilitating conditions that limit one's motoric performance. There's no heart surgeons with Parkinsons. But these are outliers. For the vast majority of people, ease of precise movement big and small is a matter of practice. I was a late bloomer but once I got the hang of how to make my body do what I wanted, all the later training - formal and informal - became FUN and so I kept progressing.
From personal experience, probably not much. The "hitting keys accurately without looking" part that you develop with each is similar, but you still have to develop muscle memory for a completely different layout and use the keys completely differently (e.g. you don’t do chords on your computer keyboard, and when you type, both hands participate in one task versus each playing their own music track at a different pace). It’s a great way to double down on rep. strain injury, though! (sadThumbUp)

If it makes you feel better, it is an electric knife, so it doesn't have to be as sharp as a typical fillet knife.

No such thing as “unskilled labor” if you’re doing it right. That term is reserved only for people who never do labor.
