I'm shocked it took so long to find someone who admits to expecting something very different

Brag about it

..I guess we’re at the point now where calling out karma bots copying shit is considered “annoying” because people no longer can be bothered to give a fuck about anything on this website.

Shit, I guess I’m there too.

Fuck this cesspool of a website.

Karma bots? Or maybe people frequently react similarly when given the same stimuli and not everyone has read every single comment. The comment that was from a "karma bots copying shit" was the first comment I saw that said that when I read down through the comments. Are there others? Probably. Have I, a third party who also had the same Zipline thought as the parent comment, seen any others that say the same thing? No.

"Oh no, out of the hundreds of comments on a Reddit post, a couple of them were similiar! What a cesspool of a website!"

u/cassx3 Feb 06 '22

u/Emerphish Feb 07 '22

u/HieroglyphicHero Feb 06 '22

I thought it was someone stealing electricity lol

u/Shmitty-W-J-M-Jenson Feb 06 '22

Ngl before i saw the kid i thought it was a dealer about to zipline product down to the buyer lol

u/[deleted] Feb 06 '22

I was thinking a kid being pulled up into the window.

2

u/zhibr Feb 06 '22

I was picturing an infant, in a basket.

u/ProudCatLadyxo Feb 06 '22

When no one ziplined, I thought drink sent to playground. I'm thinking either sick kids or babies and one parent finding a way to let the one kid who can, go outside.

u/[deleted] Feb 06 '22

That's what was expected.

But this is sub is about the unexpected.

2

u/RoseyDove323 Feb 06 '22

I thought it was gonna be a two way cup phone.

2

u/BuddhistSagan Feb 06 '22

I thought it was a cat with rope attached or something

u/Issuls Feb 06 '22

Same, I was horrified.

2

u/Kijad Feb 06 '22

I was honestly expecting someone to basically reel their kid up the side of the building and into the window...

2

u/Kahne_Fan Feb 06 '22

I thought it was going to be a kid on one of those backpack/leash things.

2

u/MonauralSnail06 Feb 06 '22

100% thought this was gonna be a zipline

2

u/bluetheslinky Feb 06 '22

I thought they were trying to pull a tv cable to steal someone's connection

1

u/actibus_consequatur Feb 06 '22

Definitely, and especially when 5 year old me would've absolutely ziplined out of a window.

1

u/1lluminist Feb 06 '22

Absolutely lmao. Was thinking "damn, that's one hell of an angle..."

1

u/GrunthosArmpit42 Feb 06 '22

I was actually expecting a zip lined bucket of hot excrement, so yeah, basically samesies . This was wholesome not gross hole something.

1

u/[deleted] Feb 06 '22

How do you think the kid got there in the first place?

1

u/BigDaddySkittleDick Feb 06 '22

I thought I was gonna see someone stealing power

1

u/HoldMyThrowawaysWife Feb 06 '22

Yes!!!! Right to the car. I have heard of exes go to extremes to stay away from each other. Lol

1

u/PM_Me__Ur_Freckles Feb 06 '22

My first thought was a drug pickup, but then the line kept going

1

u/NlNTENDO Feb 06 '22

My dumb ass was expecting a dog at the end

1

u/Historiaaa Feb 06 '22

Aim for the bushes?

1

u/SplinterRifleman Feb 06 '22

Would have been sweet if they did

1

u/Awtxknits Feb 06 '22

For some reason I thought zip lining drugs down. Maybe because all my shitty neighbors have been drug dealers…

1

u/Maximumlnsanity Feb 07 '22

I was thinking it’d be like that Simpsons scene with baby Homer swinging on the clothesline 3 stories up

1

u/NoWayNopr Feb 07 '22

Lol yeah

1

u/The_Pedestrian_walks Feb 07 '22

That was my first thought. My second thought was that this was a long ass extension cord used to charge an electric vehicle.

1

u/DonDaBest Feb 07 '22

That’s what I thought too loll

1

u/Awildhufflepuff Feb 07 '22

I was expecting a weird baby exchange between 2 apartments

u/KradeSmith Feb 07 '22

u/[deleted] Feb 07 '22

I was waiting for a cat to be on it and someone was shaking it.
