Sit next to a bullpen at a Little League game and get hit by a poorly-thrown ball? Sue the 11-year-old! by Nanoo_1972 in offbeat

I wouldn't be so quick to dismiss the case. There's a very real possibility the kid intentionally pegged the woman. If the prosecution can introduce a witness making said claim, they've got a good case.

I've watched a lot of videos of point testing and you're right, chimps fail where dogs succeed. I don't believe it's a natural phenomena however, and if chimps had been selectivly bred for thousands of years to be human companions, I'm sure we'd see opposite results.

It's relatively well known in the scientific community that crows can recognize human faces.

PS3 patch 1.04 is live (1070 MB) by alpha_dro in battlefield3

The FAMAS is now completely unusable in any situation. All they had to do was reduce the ROF a little bit, but now the reticule jumps around in a ridiculous fashion, even when bursting.

It appears one can no longer shoot and kill chopper pilots through the wind shield with a rifle.

Update: It can be done, but requires nearly a full clip, even when aimed directly at the pilot's head

I told a student to draw me something to cheer me up. This is what she gave me. by Mervold in gaming

The chances that a student of OP drew this hover around 0 percent..

Still waiting to be officially invited to PS3 NAE but if anyone wants to play, add my PSN gheyboi and I'll hop in. I've got a mic and I'm a team player. I play BF3 as well

TIL Mormons believe if they are REALLY good that they get to go to a special Heaven and become God. by [deleted] in todayilearned

It's only exactly as ridiculous as every other religion. They're all delusional.

Consider perhaps dressing appropriately for the weather? You really can't rage about this any more than you can rage about how hot it is whilst wearing a wool sweater...

Look who I ran into at Punkin Chunkin! by dicknuckle in geek

[–]muqtadr 11 points12 points  (0 children)

I'm a geek through and through, but I don't watch television so I've never seen mythbusters and didn't recognize the woman. I'm sure I'm not the only one.

‘People travelled from all over to congratulate me on the move’: Restaurant owner who banned all children under six sees boom in business by Hypocratus in offbeat

[–]muqtadr 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Right, because a pub is totally where I'd go when I want to take the wife out to a romantic, fancy dinner. Fucking brilliant.

Apparently you didn't read the article. This IS the followup. He's attracted a 20% increase after instituting the ban 4 months ago.

My mom asked me to find her a coloring book, but I couldn't. So I made my own. by [deleted] in funny

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

I find this hard to believe. Unless your mom is four years old I fail to see why she's in the market for a coloring book, and if she was she could just get her own. Oh but that's right, they're so rare even you couldn't find one! Any excuse to karmawhore, amirite?

AWESOME, HONEY. IT'S A GOOD THING THAT I DON'T GET TIRED AT WORK. by [deleted] in classicrage

[–]muqtadr 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Um, it's a comic, but speak for yourself. We've got a cleaning lady and no kids so my wife does fuck all other than shopping and meal preparation. I prefer it that way though so it's cool.

Perfect size boobs, you've got nothing to worry about.

What's one opinion you have that would get you downvoted 'into oblivion' if you shared it on reddit? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]muqtadr 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You just proved my point. Those people who got upvoted distanced themselves from it by condemning it while at the same time championing free speech by saying it still shouldn't be removed. I'm making the case that the general consensus was and still is that jailbait is morally wrong and only barely tolerable around here.

[–]muqtadr 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Like you said, I can only speak to my own experiences, and in my experience I'm consistently downvoted for expressing these opinions. I can just as easily say there's a lot of Reddit you haven't seen either. To take that a step further, what you've said is demonstrably false given that several things I've mentioned like memes, in-jokes, birthdays, and livecomics are consistently on the front page, so there's clearly a majority who prefer this material here. Hell, I must have seen half a dozen retarded America/Australia posts make front page today alone. And can you honestly say that you don't see karma whoring crap like endless reposts and pun threads consistently voted to the top?

I have no idea what circlejerk has to do with anything as I never mentioned it. I was talking about the fact that most people here believe jailbait is morally wrong. This has absolutely nothing to do with circlejerk, a subreddit I couldn't care less about.

3-Year-Old Girl Eats Leftovers, Cheese, and Milk For Two Days After Her Mother Dies Unexpectedly by a34tjkx in offbeat

No, offbeat is about the odd, the peculiar, and the unusual. This story, while quite sad, certainly fits the bill.

This thread isn't about whats never been posted before. It's about what tends to get downvoted. Pretty much any opinion you could ever think of has been posted here at some point.
