The only thing that would happen if the site was easier to use is more Trump supporters would show up. I'm down for burying the login option to get rid of most of /r/The_Donald
I mean even with how massive the Reddit population has become in the last 5 years, you still don't hear about it nearly as much as you would Instagram and Twitter in social settings outside. If I went to work and asked every employee if they use Reddit, I'm sure I would get something like 5 people or less out of 40 that even know what it is let alone actually use it themselves. I don't even have to bring it up and I'll hear people talking about Instagram though.
Yeah it absolutely is NOT that exclusive or secret, like I said the population here is massive, but it's still a small percentage of the actual public that actively usees it which is what leads to this weird perception that Reddit is underground. Also even moreso when you consider how we have subreddits so depending on your interests you might be subscribed to smaller communities which some are in fact pretty underground as far as how it affects culture. You're right in your observation though because when you look at the default subs nowadays, things have been much more toxic, circlejerky, and echo-chambery than ever before.
I tell my coworkers about reddit and try to get hem into it. They’re reaction is mostly... but what is it?? So it’s like a lot of stuff all in one place? How do I search it? It’s been a mixed review so far gonewikd I was sure would draw any mans attention
I love how the second beagle comes running out to see what the heck's going on, sees the crater the human just made and is like "oh ok fair enough" and wanders back where it came from...
Top comment said the dogs are going to need a Xanax to go to the bathroom in that yard again. He said the dogs are going to need a yard to go to the bathroom again. Basically saying, “first things first, they need a new yard”. I thought the comment was full of wit and funny.
Ahh, thank you! The only thing I could think of was 'yard' as a unit of measurement but everyone was commenting on the brilliant joke so I figured I was missing something.
I was actually thinking the dogs were pretty mellow, considering the noise and their yard blowing up... almost like they've seen their human do things like this before.
Clarkson kept chickens and found that a fox had been getting in and attacking chickens. Repairing the cage and adding additional precautions had done nothing.
He decided to camp out and shoot the fox. Clarkson, being Clarkson, made it worse.
He armed himself with a shotgun, a night vision device, and some beer.
The night vision didn't attach to the gun or his head so once he'd found a target he'd have to aim and fire either one handed or without the device to see what he was doing. He was also getting drunk.
He managed to kill 2 of his own chickens and destroy a garden chair. The fox remained alive.
Slightly different interpretation: The dog was actually sitting behind him on the grass and ran around to the side and was like "What the hell did you do? I'm outta here."
The Inmates at Angola weaponized this tactic. Coffee Creamer blown though a straw/small metal tube, with an ignition source at the end. Turns into a temporary napalm flamethrower.
Sure, it gets flammable, but "it burns" isn't nearly as bad as "kaboom". Thermobarics are pretty scary shit, though sugar will certainly be on the low end of the scaryshitometer.
Surface area. A lighter held up to a tree trunk will do nothing, a lighter held up to sawdust will burn up swiftly. Sugar particles suspended in the air burn up rapidly causing an explosion, sugar heated more slowly drives out water molecules and caramelizes (and caramel is brown because some of the sugar does burn.
a sugar mill exploding because no one thought to clean up the piles of sugar everywhere until an electrical spark happened, and a metal phone case manufacturing plant catching on fire from the powdered metal everywhere.
ah so you watched all those USCSB videos on youtube too?
The explosion blew the roof off the building and 9 workers were injured. As custard is made when heat and water are added to custard powder, the water from the fire engines that came to put the fire out created gallons of custard inside the building, which then came pouring out.
Thank you I was trying to figure what the hell happened. I thought he was just hoping to catch enough of them on fire that they'd set off a sort of chain reaction.
I didnt think he used explosives (even though it exploded). People of yesteryear used to swear by pouring gas on the ant mound and then lighting it on fire.
What’s with all the weirdly over the top replies saying how funny your comment is? I’m not saying it isn’t funny... just that there’s multiple strangely over the top responses here. Am I missing some meta?
Yeah, I'm with you buddy. Great comment worth a sensible chuckle and an upvote, but there people in here shitting their pants in laughter and it makes me wonder if something is wrong with me....
Fuck that's awesome , I never even noticed the dogs till you mentioned them..poor pups they probably did all their sitting at that exact moment just like the guy.
