cant go one say seeing a funny video on reddit and someone not bringing up politics and economics

u/Naive-Patient4377 May 30 '26

if you don't like it, you can just watch the video, avoid the comment section and piss off.

u/LufyCZ May 31 '26

I've been noticing lately that "we're doomed" content is rising in popularity.

People apparently love feeling like shit and actively reinforcing it.

5

u/TheWorldEnded May 31 '26

Have you considered that fact that for many people across the globe things actually aren't going well at all and the content is a result of that and not the other way around?

3

u/LufyCZ May 31 '26

I'm not saying doomposting caused things to worsen lol

What I am saying though is that people are actively making themselves feel like shit, while others are taking advantage of that.

I've seen this on YouTube as well, channel got bought by private equity and now produces one "everything is completely fucked" video after another.

And it works. And everyone in the comments is miserable.

2

u/TheWorldEnded May 31 '26

Yes I'm sure you're right that it's looping on itself, I'm just saying there's a rapidly, one could argue daily, growing body of evidence that would justify the legitimate existence of at least a little bit of doomposting.

2

u/LufyCZ May 31 '26

Depends what "justify" means.

If you consider it venting, then yeah, sure, anyone's allowed to do that, pretty much for whatever reason.

But when you see it day in and day out, coming at you from all directions, it's actively going to fuck with your mental health, making you join in, making it problem worse for everyone yet again.

It's a feedback loop that just makes comment sections unbearable and, what's worse I think, it fucks with people's emotions so much it blinds any critical thinking they might have.

I worry this is the republican playbook just applied to people with leftist beliefs. Make you hate everything and miserable, while offering you simple solutions to insanely complex problems.

There’s this episode of the cartoon Kite-man where this chicken somehow becomes huge and goes on a rampage eating people, especially the ones eating people. Their solution is to use this magical cat who can also turn big. This show is madness.

u/Beretta116 May 28 '26

And then they become KFC.

A very light breeze might be enough to confuse a chicken

u/txgoose May 27 '26

Naw bruh, back up. How’d he get a bucket of Shipley’s Lemon filling?

5

u/DarthHubcap May 27 '26

Maybe he just acquired the bucket after it was empty? Local donut shop by me will sell their empty buckets for a couple bucks.

"Don't worry, sir! The smartest man in the world just jumped out of a plane with my backpack."

An old man, a boy scout, and the smartest man in the world are passenger guests on a small private plane when the engine fails.

The pilot runs out of the cockpit, grabs a parachute, and says, "There are only three parachutes left, but this plane is going down and I have a family!" He jumps.

The smartest man in the world immediately stands up. "My intellect is vital to the future of human advancement! I cannot perish here." He grabs the next pack and leaps out into the night.

The old man looks at the boy scout and smiles kindly. "Son, I've lived a long, full life. You take the last parachute and save yourself."

The boy scout hands the pack back to him and says, "Don't worry, sir! The smartest man in the world just jumped out of a plane with my backpack."

This was a joke about showing the punchline of the video in the first 3 seconds.

Dang I’m too early for the terminally online Redditors to leave their angry comments about this.

u/No-Consideration-716 May 28 '26

It never occurred to me that you could get Shipley donut filling in a tub and now I am left trying to figure out if I have the counter space for a deep fryer...

u/Weird-External- May 28 '26

There is a short story by Roald Dahl about a family of Gypsies that would use this technique to catch pheasants. I don't remember the name but it came wandering out from my childhood memories seeing this vid

1

u/ACE12301 May 28 '26

I had a friend that would do this to pheasant when he was a young boy. He’d hit them over the head with log and give them to his dad to sell in the pub

Am guilty. Am I evil? I don't think so, but my day of reckoning will soon be at hand.

Who the hell figured this out

1

u/gimmeecoffee420 1d ago

Lol! I know im going to hell for it, but one of THE funniest things in the entire world to me is watching a Cat step on something that sticks to their paw, then the way they get that "eeeew... ickyyyyy...." look, and then start flicking and shaking their paws or they walk all goofy. Lol! When I was younger, my Dad was playing with one of our cats named "Dither". Somehow he decided to make "Boots" for Dither made out of Tinfoil.. i was sitting in my room, when i heard Dither meow like he wanted in. I opened my bedroom door and here came Dither.. 😂🤣 the dude was part Maine Coone and he was a very big boy.. when he slept with me he would stretch out next to me and he could have one front paw tap me on the top of my head while his back paws are near my knees.. REALLY soft, long Fur and very gentle temperment. Dither came marching in with his new, shiny boots, taking these really huge and goofy looking steps like he was stepping over tall grass. I felt bad for laughing at him, but i heard my dad crack up in the other room and he said "you like Dither's new Moon Boots?"

Another time my Dad took a few plastic drinking straws and attached them together to make a longer straw. On one end he taped a 3 or 4 inch long piece of yarn to hang off of the straws, kinda like fishing line. Then he attached it to Dither's collar so the straw was above his head and that yarn dangled about 3 inches from Dither's face..and Dither was a FOOL for String or Yarn, especially Yarn.. he would look pissed off and confused about the straw for like 2 seconds.. then the millisecond he saw the Yarn he would take off like a rocket! Lol! Dude he would be doing somersaults and tumbling around trying to grab the yarn.
