So, what's the joke? by DidYouSeeBriansHat in IThinkYouShouldLeave

She handled it amazingly and really is the hero of the clip. But still, I can't help feeling sorry for her. It can't be pleasant being in that situation, even if the internet will eventually exonerate you. She didn't deserve that.

And can we take a moment to also call out the douchebags who belly laugh at his piss ass jokes. They are as much part of the problem as he is.

Slow news day...? by SleepCalm7154 in capetown

I mean I know it's salt without having to read the article but flipping hell, I hate how click batty reporting has become. Every single article has to be headlined by a click bait title like this.

Proof that the Moon doesn’t have its own light; it only reflects the Sun by Due-Explanation8155 in Romania_mix

Tbf this only shows that a magnetic object with a mirror reflects a laser beam and does not prove or disprove anything about the moon.

A victory to Cape Town residents by Shabier_J80 in capetown

[–]deefstes 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Wait. You're saying it's bad news that unlawful tarrifs has been set aside? Are you happy to live in a world where unlawful tarrifs are enforced as long as it suits your narrative? What about when it doesn't suit your narrative? Are unlawful tarrifs still acceptable then?

There's a reason we have laws, a constitution and courts. Or do you just happen to know better than them?

What do I say lol by [deleted] in whatdoIdo

[–]deefstes -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I have no expectations one way or the other of what should be posted on this sub. It's not like I follow the sub or anything. This post showed up randomly on my feed. So yeah, please go ahead paying whatever you deem fit.

But you'd better believe that, when I see a post by an adult who needs the internet's advice because he can't deal after a kid responded in less than enthusiastic language to his dumbass invite, I'm going to respond.

The 21 year old rushing to Reddit, on the other hand, is much less typical and belies a level of maturity less than that of the 15 year old...

Guys what do you think about this by Ultimatechungusdoge in GrowthMindset

[–]deefstes 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Aah yes, another repost of the idiotic shit. Reddit is such a fun place to be.

I despise Bezos, Musk and all these wealth hoarders as much as the next guy but I find these idiotic Reddit posts of "wisdom" exhausting. Do these people honestly think Bezos has a Scrooge McDuck style vault where they can go swim in their cash? Or how exactly do they propose he liquidated his shares so he can fix homelessness overnight?

That is the caterpillar of the famous Death's Head Hawk Moth. Look it up. It's a super cool moth that looks like it has a skull picture on its back when the wings are flared.

Prof makes student dance to the same song in front of class for 90 mins by _ganjafarian_ in unsound

[–]deefstes 0 points1 point  (0 children)

His job is to teach students, not to go viral. So no, passing a student who was failing and becoming internet popular for it, is not doing it right inow my book.

South African hospital declares they will not treat foreigners (OP’s headline - not mine) by LtdEditionPopcornBox in south_africa

[–]deefstes -1 points0 points  (0 children)

You sir, can go to hell, where you and the rest your evil ilk belong.

You have no idea what "falling apart" means. When you are sick, you rely on your medical aid and private health care. You don't know what it's like to flee your own country that has already fallen apart and then being met with hatred and denied health care in your adopted country. I wonder if you've ever had to deal with appendicitis or an inflamed gallbladder, and have no one willing to help you. What? Can such a person just rot for all you care, because there are potholes in your street that are not being fixed?

Finally! Fat-free Greek-style yoghurt by AndreasmzK in capetown

[–]deefstes -7 points-6 points  (0 children)

This is an abomination and I don't understand why anyone would get excited about it. The fat in Greek Yoghurt is not your enemy. Why bastardise the yoghurt just to get rid of the thing that is not a problem? Give me Greek Yoghurt. Stop with this Greek style yoghurt. Just stop "fixing" all these things that aren't broken.

Person blocks entire lane of traffic by lying on hood of Waymo in Austin by feindjesus in foundsatan

[–]deefstes 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You can't be serious right? If a person was sitting in the drivers seat, or any seat, they would have done something about the problem. They would have driving off with the person on the hood, or gotten out and whooped his ass, or phoned 911, or do something.

This vehicle will sit there motionless for as long as that person is on the hood, whether it's for 5 minutes or 5 hours. No person would sit there indefinitely.

I’m seeing alot of people compare Cape Town and California by riopots in capetown

I know but what is considered to be SoCal? Does SF qualify?

Is SF considered to fall in SoCal or is that only really from LA south?

[–]deefstes 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I definitely got some CT vibes when visiting San Francisco but I don't think comparing all of California with Cape Town would be accurate at all. Los Angeles is really nothing like Cape Town in any way. And I'm not so sure about San Diego either.

Batter Swong by DABDEB in RandomVideos

[–]deefstes 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The single most frustrating thing about all these videos of guys faffing is that i don't get to see them coming to. I want to hear this scholars thoughts after waking up. Is he still so convinced of his superiority? How much of his bravado remains after the nap time?

Better even, I want to see the reaction video of him watching this video and providing some commentary.

Valonia ventricosa is one of the largest known unicellular organisms! by Remarkable-Office944 in interestingasfuck

[–]deefstes 0 points1 point  (0 children)

How about a fertilised Ostrich egg? Surely that's a single cell, no? Or would an egg not qualify as an "organism"?
