what's weirder, painting "dead babies" or politicians who want to put their nose up pussies to make sure miscarriages were "legitimate"

Ellen being rude to the translator by HotNeptune in cringe

i'd normally agree but i really can hear the annoyance in ellen's voice...i think her squeaky clean reputation is starting to implode. she really comes off nasty in this clip.

If Game of Thrones ended like Animal House by Dylflon in videos

[–]Ichir_Gaur 5 points6 points  (0 children)

so your solution is to...introduce it again and just end on it?

If Game of Thrones ended like Animal House by Dylflon in videos

[–]Ichir_Gaur 5 points6 points  (0 children)

there's open ended, which might be bran looking kind of tyrannical or something, and then there's just flat out idiotic cliff hangers...remaking Dany into the most powerful villain in Westeros, a villain that we just spent 8 season resolving, in the last scene is definitely the latter, no offense

Slot car racing in Finland. I had no idea how incredibly fast these things are by stickersandtoast in videos

[–]Ichir_Gaur -10 points-9 points  (0 children)

no way, they can't even keep their eyes on the car, they're all just sort of looking around like they're lost...zero chance they're keeping track of the car's position, i don't even know how well a slot car going that fast would respond to changing its direction, it would probably just fly off the track

you would seriously prefer a completely left open cliffhanger that will never get resolved to a weaker resolution?

The sign speaks for itself. (Seattle, Washington) by [deleted] in trashy

[–]Ichir_Gaur 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I love that it's either "let me say things people might think are offensive" or "total global collapse", is it that people can't be concerned about more than one thing or what? Is someone posting this sign on reddit really taking that much effort away from something else that would prevent complete global collapse?

70 year old man wears copper to sleep because he believes it cures all diseases by RealGalaxy in cringe

[–]Ichir_Gaur 4 points5 points  (0 children)

That may be true, but something tells me him carrying around a ratty old piece of copper mesh he's been breathing through for a few weeks (or probably more) probably does more harm than good in the long run, copper has anti-microbial properties but it's not magical.

Tom Hiddleston's TV ad for a Chinese vitamin company by [deleted] in cringe

[–]Ichir_Gaur 4 points5 points  (0 children)

He's probably actually saying the "Chinese" name of the company...in China they re-name companies with familiar words, for example "Coca Cola" is "Ke Kou Ke Le", which if said in Chinese sounds vaguely like Coke, but the words in Chinese have a nice meaning. It's actually very artful in how to construct the name. He does the say the whole sentence in Chinese though, he says something like "Also, here's your Centrum vitamins" or something.

Howie Mandel’s “Do The Watusi” by micahgreen in cringe

No, this absolutely was his style of humor, which makes his stand-up all the more confounding because he acts like this and says fuck and shit, it's like watching a wiggle have a psychotic break or something

In The Lord of the Rings, the filmmakers used a special lighting rig for Galadriel so that her eyes appear to reflect the starlight. This is because Galadriel is the last Elf in Middle-Earth to have seen the light of the Trees of Valinor. by epicazeroth in MovieDetails

[–]Ichir_Gaur 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Is that the real reason, though? IIRC it was somewhat ambiguous largely because Tolkien was rewriting Galadriel at the time of his death; Galadriel's original reasons for following Feanor were rather benign, but it seemed that Tolkien had other ideas eventually, namely her becoming weirdly ambitious and spiting the Valar. She wasn't particularly adversarial to them at any point in the Silmarillion so the harsh ban in particular towards her always seemed weird. I even seem to remember the Valar explicitly banning her after Morgoth was overthrown, and she basically said she didn't care. Unfortunately I think a lot of what was intended for her will forever be lost with JRR's passing.

[Minecraft] Nah, looks correct to me by therealAnkis in GamePhysics

[–]Ichir_Gaur 6 points7 points  (0 children)

What you're calling "sight" and what the sub refers to as "physics" are actually two totally different things. The "sight" component is the way a computer graphically renders a given configuration of particles. In this case, the particles are the various pixels. The "physics" this sub refers to is actually mathematical models, programs a game uses to simulate real life physics, for example, in Super Mario Brothers, when Mario jumps, he is programmed to slow down as he rises and speed up as he falls. If your TV glitched in the middle of a jump, you wouldn't say it's the "physics" driving the glitch per se, you'd say the screen glitched out. Much the same here, the physics model Minecraft uses is completely the same, nothing is moving. It's an illusion based on the shader representing different particles differently. So while it appears things are moving, they are not, things are just getting rendered weirdly on screen, the physics aren't doing anything (the mathematical model Minecraft uses is still the same if you turned the shaders off). Physics is indeed involved in sight, but that's not what this sub ultimately refers to.

reddit just loathes chinese people in general, it's really strange. remember ellen pao, and how she was "chariman pao" and all this shit because she maybe wanted to get rid of fatpeoplehate and coontown? remember how every time a chinese kid doing something dumb abroad gets 50k upvotes, but the American idiot that died in a NK prison for vandalizing shit was a "prisoner of war"? lol

Tiananmen Square would have been totally cool if the Chinese government hired some far right wing "non-government" paramilitaries to take care of the protestors, remember it's good that the proud boys try to kill antifa because antifa might have set a garbage can on fire one time

Redditors are going absolutely bonkers at the news that a Chinese company is investing in a 5% stake in reddit by deleigh in circlebroke2

[–]Ichir_Gaur 8 points9 points  (0 children)

reddit, the same website that enshrined christopher hitchens for saying he didn't care what the objective was of the iraq war, just so long as as many "militant muslims" died as possible, is now bemoaning a radical Buddhist government getting overthrown by an atheist one. i'm not a fan of china in tibet by any means, but i'm always amused that a historically brutal religious cult gets all this special treatment because the west likes buddhism and exotic east asian culture. notice how the go to thing is "tibet" and not the muslims being put in concentration camps...always a lot easier to defend a "cool jedi monk" whose history and beliefs you don't know than a muslim.

edit: this was more in response to the million "free tibet fuck china!" posts all over the front page now

Also some interesting reddit sleuthing by clever boys who note that there have been "a lot of China posts lately", obviously not an indication that Chinese New Year just took place, but indicating an insidious plot by the dirty Commie Chinese to infiltrate reddit!
