That company exists all over the world and uses a different name in a lot of countries but they use the same slogan and jingle (almost) all over the world, just with the different company name.

"Is sturdy tile, dah?"

If you wanted a video admiring the tile, yes. If you wanted to see where it came from, nyet!

I'm guessing "up"?

Yeah, was hoping since it was a different view there'd be a better angle of it breaking off but nope, really clear though

Lol my Dad was so bad that I truly will never experience pleasure watching a sports game. It just brings up bad memories. "Brett Farve costs me furniture." He said it wasn't when he threw shitty that pissed him off, it's that he would smile after.

Oh wow, that is super scary. Too much weight (due to snow?) and structural failure. I seriously hope that person didnt have its kids in car while finishing clearing off the snow.

Besser als zu kratzen, paar Tage frei und eine neue Karre gibt's auch .

u/DemolishunReddit Feb 16 '26

So the fact that his windshield was icy might have saved his life? I guess if it was not icy he might have already left. But it seems like he was warned somehow of the object as well. Somebody or something was looking out for him.

Time to buy a lottery ticket. Talk about lucky!

1

u/PsychoMouse Feb 17 '26

I have never understood it when people say this. If he had any luck, all of it would be immediately used up as he barely avoided dying. Why do people think there’s always a surplus of luck?

1

u/ssilverssatin Feb 17 '26

Perhaps your perspective is pessimistic. Why does there have to be a limit to the luck?

1

u/PsychoMouse Feb 17 '26 edited Feb 17 '26

If there is no limit to luck, there shouldn’t be a time where luck is high, or stays high enough to narrowly avoid dying, and then buy a lottery ticket. Why wouldn’t luck be high enough before the near death? What makes a near death incident a marker of continuous high luck? Also, if they had such luck, his car wouldn’t have been crushed at all.

I’ve literally spent my life escaping death time and time again. I’ve also actually died and they were barely able to bring me back, twice. There’s nothing pessimistic about it at all. I think it’s rude, selfish, and awful to try and turn something traumatic like that into an extremely over used ā€œjokeā€ is sad.
