Dude looks like he was animated by Pixar.
He shopped out his lips.
He looks like the teen antagonist to a 2000s animated series
Or the guy from the incredibles
It connects people alright, just not in the most benign ways
No, but his neighbours do.
I don’t know but literally what a dumb thing to collect
Cancer says maybe
Train spotting used to be the niche hobby.
We’ve come a long way. I don’t know which way, but here we are.
Actually, it was the train that has come the long way.
It might look like you’re moving when you focus completely on the train, but you are in fact standing still while train spotting.
Why is this on shitpost? I think it’s a perfectly valid hobby and it should be celebrated
Yeah. I dont get it. It’s not my thing but I don’t judge if it doesn’t hurt anyone.
I haven’t seen the video but my first impression (and likely other’s) is it’s similar to a tik-tok trend where people steal soap dispensers, break sinks, etc.
Having said that, it could just be a little click-baity and maybe he collects old or “retired” fire alarms, which would obviously be fine.
That depends entirely on how he is acquiring the alarms.
I don’t understand how anyone thinks any social media platform resembles a community.
You’re currently posting in one…
Yeah but that doesn’t mean I think it’s a “community” that I am “joining”.
Certainly by some definition of the word you can call these things communities just because that’s how language works. Using “community” in this way is so pervasive I laughingly recall a tech bro watch company calling the people that buy their watches a “community”.
But from the meaning of the word before the rise of social media, social media platforms and the loosely structured groups underneath that you “form” by “joining” (AKA sometimes just looking at a video or web page or something) them definitely don’t resemble nor replace a community.
EDIT:
TL;DR: Being subscribed to “Lemmy Shitpost” (or just not blocking it, as is my case) isn’t exactly like joining the local chapter of the Loyal Order of Moose.
…I guess you aren’t going to want any of these welcome cookies that we baked for you then. =(
😆
The net brings us together but it also brings the waters and drama. I knew I knew this dude from something.
I did not expect to watch that whole thing but I’m really glad I did. Even teared up there at the end. Thanks for sharing.
Yeah that video essay is such a wild ride. I’m on the spectrum and I absolutely understand the emotional ties one can have to such esoteric hobbies, and how those emotions can twist relationships due to perceived slights and phantom insults.
Nobody hates Nerds like other Nerds.
I’m a Star Wars fan. Tell me about it.
Ewww
I would but you’d probably say “it’s not canon” or something like that /j (I’m equally start trek and star wars, I can hate and agree with everyone!)
Interesting how that channel found a new recipe for something popular. That channel might get big.
But then everything changed when the fire alarm community attacked.
Only the avatar can master all the alarm types, but when the wold needed him the most, he vanished. Years later he returned, and I believe he can finally save the world.
