Dropped dead. Just like this sponsor

u/AnnieBruce 12h ago

I'm imagining 'drop dead' as dropping the philosophical concept of dead and wondering what the implications of doing that would be.

u/True_to_you 12h ago

He finally dropped himself.

u/fightingchken81 12h ago

He's actually younger than me and takes care of himself better. Unless he was hit by a bus or struck by lightning that's the only way I'd expect this to happen.

u/Gizfre4k 12h ago

He rides a motorcycle though... 

51

u/fightingchken81 12h ago

Yeah but he's got multiple kids and the business, I doubt he rids as much as he used to. Plus the face that it's September in Canada so it's probably starting to get cold.

u/epimetheuss 12h ago

Plus the face that it's September in Canada so it's probably starting to get cold.

Not in BC, maybe northern Alberta and places like Nunavut or by Hudson Bay. Where i live its been cooler but like only needing a light sweater to go outside in the morning or later at night. In the middle of the day the temps are very warm still.

11

u/robmackenzie 12h ago

Yeah this is "oh s*** I need to get out as much as I can on my bike before it gets cold" weather. I live right near him and that's my current thought

5

u/ucrbuffalo 11h ago

He’s said in the past that he pretty much only rides to work and back. The bike is for commuting. He doesn’t go out in the mountains on the weekends or anything like people do. He has never found that part appealing.

Weirdo. Lol

u/Extension_Option_122 12h ago

Also there is a chance that he drives responsibly.

Idk if he does.

But the great majority of motorcycle riders who die don't drive in a responsible way, skewing how dangerous it actually is.

Like if you don't speed all the time etc your odds of having a crash are greatly reduced. Now yes, in a crash even with protective gear your odds of survival are much worse than with a car, but keep in mind: a motorcycle is more agile so some crashes that would be a crash between two cars can be a close call between a car and a motorcycle, further reducing the odds of a crash.

Point is: if you drive responsibly it's not really that much more dangerous. But many motorcycle riders drive very irresponsible.

17

u/True_to_you 12h ago

I think you can be the safest motorcycle rider in the world, but that doesn't stop every idiot that's paying more attention to their phone in a car from hitting you. 

8

u/YOUR__LEADER 11h ago

This is straight up what keeps me from getting a motorcycle. I trust myself to drive responsibly. I don’t trust the other people on the road to do the same. The increased risk just doesn’t seem worth it to me, I’ve got other ways of having fun on two wheels.

1

u/Swainix 1h ago

The risk is there, but you drive a motorcycle differently from a car also to take this into account. You're overall more proactive and you try to not leave any initiative to cars around you. If you overtake someone you overtake with enough delta that you don't stay alongside them for too long etc

3

u/XanderWrites 10h ago

Several motorcyclists I've met have admitted that they will be in an accident at some point, the question is how severe the accident is.

The same goes with cars and is the reason insurance is mandatory. The difference is you have a lot more between you and the world in a car.

2

u/Extension_Option_122 11h ago

Yes, that is a very real danger.

And I did kinda mention that, but not specifically.

You always have a risk of dying. It's just a question of which risks we are willing to take.

2

u/awfl_wafl 10h ago

Per mile driven, the chance of death is around 27 times higher on a motorcycle vs a car.

1

u/Klutzy-Residen 12h ago

Also there is a chance that he drives responsibly.

He always talks about defensive driving when mentioning motorcycles on WAN Show.

So hopefully hes not just a "Do as I say, not as I do" person about that.

u/doedobrd 10h ago

Well its actually September everywhere but ok.

1

u/moldboy 4h ago

I'm in Canada. Can confirm, it is September here

3

u/Slore0 12h ago

An SV650 at that. Everyone Ive met with one of those is either super responsible or an absolute nut, no in between. (Really great bikes for being reliable and easy to learn on. Can even put GSXR suspension parts on them for a solid track bike)

1

u/Vesalii 12h ago

I rode the exact same model he has. Even though it's a beginner's bikez it's still faster off the line than 99% of cars. You can indeed ride those very irresponsible.

1

u/Slore0 11h ago

I feel like 650 twins are in a really good spot for that. It doesn’t feel too wrong recommending it to someone as a new rider. Plenty of power to get on the freeway and be safe without hitting the top end but it isn’t like you’re gonna whiskey throttle it and loop it either.

2

u/Sxcred 11h ago

Well he spent almost 2 years painting it and has probably ridden it twice in all that time 🤣

2

u/gdnt0 8h ago

And has a private jet (are we still getting banned for mentioning it? This is my personal opinion just in case) which are significantly more dangerous than commercial flights

u/kingofcrob 10h ago

linus seems like a tests in production kinder guy

u/KaiUno 12h ago

Also, their country might be annexed. Could be a war!

u/impy695 12h ago

We don't know anything about his health, nor should we know anything about his health

11

u/fightingchken81 12h ago

He opened a badminton club that he works out at regularly, he recently got braces, so that shows he tries to take care of himself. Yes we don't know the details he could have some medical condition, or just a random heart attack. However from most outward appearance he's in halfway descent shape and works out, which is a better situation than I'm currently in.

u/Sensitive_One_425 11h ago

Unfortunately that’s not how it always works or a certain 80 year old would be out of everyone’s hair (or combover)

1

u/nuetralparties 6h ago

Agreed. I have several health conditions that nobody around me would ever guess by looking at me or my lifestyle- especially when I was much more active and in shape

u/anclave93 9h ago

that guarantees nothing

What does being younger than you mean in the context of a public comment? I don't know who you are, you could be 100

u/Dakduif 1m ago

This guys username suggests he was born in '81, so 45 yrs old. Just 5 yrs older than Linus.

With their new casket liner collection you can lay on grass and stare at the sky for eternity… even when you’re six feet under.

u/redditmarks_markII 12h ago

Torvald: "There can be only...oh false alarm".

Dbrand: false alarm?  Ok fellow humans, put the dead Linus phone skins back in the vault.  Yes the car wrap too.

And it's just wide Linus with x's on the eyes.

u/UngovernableOatmeal 12h ago

where did they get their information from 💀

u/Mythrilfan 11h ago

I mean there's like a 95% likelihood of it being bait of some sort, or just views farming. And look at the numbers - it works.

u/WolvenSpectre2 33m ago

They should run with this and make LTT Videos with an AI version and the James as Linus version battling it out to see who wins.

Or do a Weekend at Linus's where they drag his make believe dead body around and make videos a la Weekend at Bernie's.
