I would not be surprised if MrBeast was outted as a nonce
I’ll take some of his fans if he needs to lessen what he’s gotta deal with. I will turn them into superweapons capable of destroying all the resounding forces of good united as one to oppose us, specifically, but I’m doing this out of the goodness of my heart, honest.
MrBeast filmed himself rigging sweepstakes and contests, endangering people with reckless negligence, but is still makes new videos.
Other people have had their careers ended over mere uncorroborated allegations of misconduct, so why tf is that loser still making shit?
One if the very few YouTubers I forbid my kids to watch. He’s pretty much a summary of what’s rotten in our civilization. Such a piece of shit.
There are worse individuals, apparently the wells he dug in Africa were a real philanthropic venture.
That said, I would be fine with his career ending, I am sure many more people would be doing far better jobs than him.
Not the problem. Most of his videos are exploiting human misery to makes a few bucks.
The dude made people torture each other, jump in burning houses to make views. That’s simply pure evil and not something I intend my child to think it’s normal.
Any barely good society would simply shame him out of business .
Both things can be true, I just wouldn’t declare him any sort of criminal mastermind the likes of Trump, Putin, Musk, Xi, or Hitler. A lot of people in this thread are wishing death or suffering upon the dude but I think that’s a little extreme.
The summary of everything rotten with our civilization lies elsewhere.
Of course not. He’s a pos of a YouTubers, he’s not a genocidal maniac.
Yet, he’s a proud representation of the absolute mess we’re in. Some genius 200 years ago had the great idea of saying it was ok to remove any ethic/humanity from the economy. And now, we’re living in a dystopian hell where it’s ok to profit from misery and where empathy is a sin.
He could organise squid games to sell cereal without blinking. Empty husks profiting.
200 years ago…?
Try 15,000 years.
The only reason he hasn’t fully embraced MAGA is because it’ll kill his ratings.
Mr. Beast has always been and will continue to be a huge piece of shit.
It must be a generational thing but that guy creeps me the fuck out, and if horrific allegations about him came to light, I would not be surprised.
It’s because he doesn’t smile with his eyes.
Since they won, we should rename that bit of water the Gulf of Belgium.
Checkmate: we now only order Freedom Waffles.
We should instead go back to calling American football “gridiron.” It sounds cooler.
I prefer handegg.
A toxic masculinity-fueled sport like that could do with a whimsical but accurate name to balance things out.
waitball, where you spend most of the game waiting for them to do something with the ball
Unfortunately that would not differentiate the two
Or AdvertiseBalls. It’s just commercials with a bit of gameplay in between.
I’d agree, except clearly Baseball is the waitiest of waitballs…
New MLB rules have fixed that, they have a timer on the play now so pitchers don’t spend all day checking bases and shit. 15-18 seconds between pitches, 30 seconds between batters is overall less waitball than the NFL 40s play timer and timeouts.
Which is which I don’t know how people say soccer is boring cause nothing happens. When nothing literally happens in the 3 plus hour football game.
And we call the shortened version “Griddle”? :D
Called so for the fact to stop the guy carrying the ball, you flatten them like a pancake.
MrBeast IS a 13 year old brain piloting a grown man’s body.
Nah, he’s aware of what he’s doing.
He was just “engagementmaxxing at all costs” before it was en vogue.
Wasn’t there a chance of winning the World cup at around 1%? They had such a crap team that they had to import players from other countries who were technically American but didn’t actually live there. Irony of irony is that Trump relies on immigrants to fill out the team.
To be fair I think that happens in every country. England used to have the best players in the world (Until SA started throwing money at the sport i guess, I dont follow much these days), but at world cup time suddenly we’re playing against those players because theyre all foreigners.
Stop reminding me Erling Haaland exists please
They had the easiest path in the entire tournament to the round of 16, finally met a country halfway decent and got the doors blown off them.
It’s called football because it’s primarily played with the feet (unlike that other ”football” game).
You mean handegg
American football has been referred to as just football (in America) longer than football (soccer) was called just football in Britain. It was called association football as a distinct game separate from rugby football and other football games. Football distinguishing it from games played on horseback. Soccer was British slang from association (similarly at the time rugby football has slang term rugger.) Eventually the association part fell out of use but other countries that had developed their own football games tended to still call it soccer. I don’t really care either way, I’ll call it football when talking to people who call it football and soccer with people who call out soccer, I just think the origin of the terms is pretty interesting.
Football distinguishing it from games played on horseback
The problem with this line of argument is that basketball would also be football, as would baseball, cricket, hockey, and even cycling.
You mean football, football, football, knifeball, and wheelball?
May I suggest:-
Bouncy-football, hotdog-football, 5day-football, ice-football, wheel-football
You had me until cycling. Which would clearly be “ball-less tech polo” or something like that 🤷🏻
We sometimes call bicycles “wire donkeys”
Only in the US, though. It’s yet another of their silly regionalisms that confuses everyone.
Cars are horseless carriages. Does that mean they are more or less likely to fall into the football category?
Those are wheelies in America
Counterargument. I’ve never seen cycling done on horseback. Therfore it is football.
Unless we classify a bike as a mechanical horse. Then we have mountain horsing, road horsing. Trick horsing. And all the velodrome horsing events.
I’ve never seen cycling done on horseback. Therfore it is football.
I’ve never seen it done on foot or with a ball either, though.
Two-wheel chasies?
Or as a compromise, Wheelhorsing around?
The fuck did I just watch?
longer than football (soccer) was called just football in Britain
This may blow your mind but there are other countries and they have always called it football (or the localized equivalent).
I’m not beholden to what some rich kids (not my class) of the university of Rugby or Oxford or whatever (not my town) in England (not my country) called the sport once upon a time.
For that matter, you’re not beholden to call it anything. You could make up a new term for it if you wanted. Don’t let “the man” stop you!
That’s the spirit! And I do, now that I think of it. I call it Fubbes.
Same. I don’t remember when I had the urge to check soccer/football term origins and was pleasantly surprised about it. IIRC it also have some class segregation about it as well (of course it does).
It’s called football because people run around on their feet, as opposed to horseback for polo.
So basketball, baseball and handball is basically football too, neat.
I suppose they are.
Except here in America we call them “ketter”, “baser” and “hander”
Handy? Can you get a job doing that?
In Germany there are shops dedicated to selling handys.
Conveniently, yes.
Are you proposing to renaming polo to horse golf? This logic is a bit weird but sure.
Are you proposing to renaming polo to horse golf
Excellent idea tbh!
It’s because it’s played on foot, rather than horseback like many early sports
But close
That’s not necessarily why, the origins of the word are lost to the mists of time. Either might be true!
that other “football” game
Handegg
Why can’t it be HandOlive
People with kids, please don’t let them get brainwashed by those cancer influencers
Mr. Beast is an American ambassador for sure! He’s probably yachting in the Gulf of America as we speak!
This is how I learned the US lost at the World Cup.
They didn’t just lose, their king pissed of the Europeans so much they felt it necessary to stomp them in to the ground
On one hand, as an American, I would have loved to see us win.
On the other, nothing made me happier than seeing our asses get handed to us after Trump played interference.
That team is in a tough place. I also would have liked a win. But seeing trumpy-baby lose is always a fun time
Deserved
The way the US goalkeeper lost the ball on the 3rd goal was hilarious. Kicked the ground hard instead of the ball.
I found out by seeing a post about CUM being defeated. Canadians, Americans and Mexicans. I only get my latest news from shitpost communities.
Can they also adopt the metric system like everyone else while they’re at it too?
And also dump Phillips screw heads. They’re godawful.
Most US students learn both but there is no centralized education so literally nothing is or can be adopted. The only standards you will follow are the discipline specific standards set by a collaborative council of large industry corporations who simultaneously approve or deny a course of accredited status of college credits.
Yes please. As an American I’ve become the annoying girl who often gives measurements in metric (tbh I mostly fit along with the Canadians on units) and I’ve grown to strongly prefer robertson screws.
Roberson was also a Canadian, so you’re fitting along well in uh… your screw preferences too!
Torx is king, but I would happily use only Phillips if we as humans got rid of slotted screws/screwdrivers. Every single time I’m forced to use one it annoys me. You can minimize it slipping out by using the right size, but who the hell wants to use or carry more than one of these? And it still doesn’t eliminate the problems, whether you use it for high or low torque applications…
The only good thing about slot screws is that you can use any reasonable flat thing as an emergency screwdriver. And the screwdrivers can serve as a general purpose prying tool I guess. They suck at their official job.
I am constantly camming out cheap Phillips head screws and it drives me crazy
the metric system is superior for baking.
I dont know whats wrong with a phillips head, but imma keep my driver thanks.
How many damn times does it have to be said that philips is perfectly fine for low-torque applications, such as furniture you need to assemble yourself, as the screw will slip before the materials get damaged from too much torque. It truly is the most good enough option for ~90% of consumer grade products.
The problem is that manufacturers keep using Phillips screws for high-torque applications.
Just this week I nearly stripped a drill bit installing some curtains and the manufacturer had supplied some Phillips wood screws. I had to keep my entire bodyweight behind it to stop it from camming out. Phillips wood screws shouldn’t even exist. They won’t even stay on when you put them at the end of your drill. I ended up throwing them away and used my own Robertson screws which went in like a charm.
All of this based on the assumption that people would overtorque fasteners if you didn’t use Phillips screws, completely ignoring the fact that this isn’t a notable problem for the many manufacturers who use Torx or Allen screws.
Did you predrill a pilot hole?
Anything Philips can do, Torq can do better. There is already a simple method to prevent furniture damage or any other rare instance where you want the screw head to slip : use the correct sized screw and dont over torque it.
As if we needed yet another reason to hate Mr. Beast.
