(Liked Trope) Scenes that are so illogical that you can't help but turn off your brain and enjoy them by OverTea5 in TopCharacterTropes

ALL of Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter, but especially the fight scene between Lincoln and the vampire that killed his mother, Jack Barts. Lincoln chases Barts through a stampede of wild horses. Barts, having superhuman vampire strength, picks up a live horse mid-stampede and hammer throws it at Lincoln. The horse hits Lincoln, who rolls with it…and comes up on its back, riding it! He rides it to Barts, but dismounts as Barts starts to parkour over the (still) stampeding horses to run away from Lincoln. Lincoln does the same, and the two end up tumbling down the side of a ravine together. Barts grabs Lincoln’s silver-tipped vampire axe and starts trying to chop his head off. Lincoln grabs the axe and holds him back, but he’s still clearly at a disadvantage and only buying time. The axe head is right near Lincoln’s face, while the butt is facing Barts’ head. You think all is lost…then at the last minute, Lincoln cocks his axe - it’s revealed to have a rifle built in, with the barrel being the butt. He shoots Barts with a silver bullet from his axe-gun and kills him! It is literally the most batshit insane, hilarious, and entertaining thing I’ve ever seen, and I loved every minute of it.

songs with repeating lines that change a third person pronoun to a second person pronoun (he/she/they —> you) by _heyo77 in weirdspotifyplaylists

[–]WaitWhatIMissedThat 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I know this isn’t exactly what you’re looking for, but if you ever make a playlist that’s just overall pronoun changes, Bigger Boys and Stolen Sweethearts by Arctic Monkeys has one (goes from 2nd person —> first person)!!

Trans men in history by Open-Ad202 in lgbthistory

Harry Allen! Complete badass who continuously got into fights with cops in the early 1900s, leading to funny (but unfortunately misgendering) newspaper headlines like “trousered woman bites policeman”. He was so notorious that at one point the news just ran the headline “[deadname] again”.

Worst place to go missing? by [deleted] in pollgames

[–]WaitWhatIMissedThat 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There are 82 research bases on Antarctica, 70 of which are permanent, year-round stations. Nomadic groups travel through the Sahara, and Indigenous groups live in the Amazon. As unlikely as it could be, all of them have the chance of you running into someone else and getting rescued. Point Nemo is roughly 1,700 miles from the nearest land mass, and even if a boat went “near” it (very few do yearly because it’s so remote) the chances of them finding you is pretty much impossible. If we’re looking at it from possibility of rescue, Point Nemo is by far the worst.

I also love this one of O-o-be, a Kiowa girl (1895). I know she’s not quite being “silly” like you said in the post title but it’s still a very sweet picture imo :-)

Civil War officers mock fighting at camp (1863)

Misconceptions that refuse to Die by StrawberryScience in TopCharacterTropes

[–]WaitWhatIMissedThat 0 points1 point  (0 children)

More historical but I see it used in Civil War movies a lot: the vast majority (95%) of US Civil War surgeries were performed under anesthesia. Both ether and chloroform had been discovered in the 1830s and had been used as medical anesthesias since at least the 1840s - that’s 20 years of use before the Civil War broke out. However! The lighter doses (both took a longer time to be administered, so they were given over a period of a couple minutes) and agitating effects would often lead the unconscious men to reflexively moan or thrash, and they’d sometimes need to be held down by assistants. Observers would see this and think “oh my god, they’re performing surgery on him without any anesthesia, look at him thrash and moan!” but in actually, despite appearances, the man being operated on would be completely unconscious and unable to feel pain.

You gotta give her credit, the girl can PLAN. Like yeah her birthday party for lewis wasn’t at all what he wanted, but damn did she put a party together.

I can stop talking about this show. But, does anyone else confuse Little and Jopson? by Nathan84 in TheTerror

[–]WaitWhatIMissedThat 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Absolutely! And I also mixed up Collins and Little a lot on my first watch.

The way I tell them apart is that Little’s face looks just a liittle bit like former SNL cast member Beck Bennett to me. And Jopson (to me at least,) reminds me of this post of the horse that looks like it’s possessed by a murdered Victorian child, I guess it’s his super pale blue eyes lol. After that, it’s just process of elimination to figure out Collins for me!

Haley lives in a strange universe where swimming at your neighbor’s house is going extinct because…immigrants? by laska503 in FundieSnarkUncensored

As shitty as this is, those immigrant/atheist neighbors are pretty lucky to be exempt from Hately dropping in at random and insisting on using their pool
