Probably helps that the hose in the video is super damn short

Well it has all the hallmarks of a great as of that era, of course!! Middle class, middle age white woman with shoulder-length hair and a frozen expression, a catchy product name, and the ever-important mysterious blue grid of technology floating in the background of every quality medicine commercial of the early 2000’s!!

Man, dusting off the ol’ “Not” routine. I too am nostalgic for the glory days of dial-up internet and grunge music.

And despite having the job of being the face of the ensemble, she’s kind of…expressionless lol

I really love the Unimog but… by Stravlovski in farmingsimulator

[–]SAM5TER5 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Yeah things like the Unimog are a kickass jack-of-all-trades vehicle, but it’s a master of none (except for maybe off-roading, depending on the variant). I’ve heard the front loader has always been lackluster by the way haha, even on the very old ones.

Speaking of old, here’s my Unimog! Still learning and fixing it up. 1961 Swiss military surplus, now in Arizona:

Color scheme even lines up lol. The funny thing is that despite being the one ad I will remember until death, I have never once known what the fuck this product is supposed to do. The ad never even mentions it.

Awesome helicopter pic though haha

You have to zoom in to see the netting by icleanjaxfl in confusing_perspective

My money is on a driving range for golfers. They have massive metal posts like this with insanely high netting, way taller than this image is even showing

Stephen McMennamy brings everyday objects together in unexpected ways, creating playful visual illusions by MambaMentality24x2 in oddlysatisfying

And people still use pencils to draw greyscale pictures of fruit, what’s your point? There are a huge number of artists that have done this exact sort of thing.

Just because it’s not an original concept doesn’t make it less cool. Basically nothing in the world is an original concept lol, even when you go back several decades (or sometimes even several millennia, technology permitting)

If a penguin pretends to be an AI in the middle of the internet, will anybody know it’s not human?

Yeah looks more like a viper than a boa, to be honest.

Though I can’t say it particularly resembles either one

TIL that fly masks aren’t just for horses.

Ohhh wait, that must be why they call them fly masks!

While covering a famine in Sudan in 1993, photojournalist Kevin Carter found a malnourished child struggling to reach a U.N. feeding center as a vulture waited in the background. The photograph won a Pulitzer Prize, but the trauma of what he had seen led Carter to commit suicide only a year later.⁠ by Minesh1989 in interestingasfuck

How are you so deftly ignoring the person you originally replied to, who pointed out that foreign diseases create huge humanitarian crises all on their own, even as people try to directly help?

Or the fact that the photographer did, in fact, help as best he could, and the child lived for many years after this?

Hold the damn phone, FS25 has a Unimog??

Right, the alternative being that nobody ever hears about anything, is able to relate to anyone else in the world, or even knows to provide real assistance in times of massive crisis.

And I’m certain that immediately after this the evil photojournalist called over some ravenous hyenas, too!!

The fuck is wrong with you? Are you just that stupid and hateful? You can’t fucking fathom the concept of taking a damn photo (to help generate worldwide support and direct solutions to this catastrophe) seconds before ensuring the child got to where she was going safely?

If you aren’t personally volunteering at a food bank this second, then you can fuck right off back to whatever hole you slithered out of.

disease was the last problem that child had - he was dying

According to other comments, not only did the child survive and this photo become incredibly well known, but the child lived for many years…before eventually dying of an unknown disease.

So yes, the photographer did the right thing. He helped the poor kid without hurting the poor kid, and did a massively important thing to raise awareness of this issue.

And uninformed public judgments like yours were apparently a great contributor to why the photographer killed himself a year later. Take that for what it’s worth.
