🙅 THE BAD IDEAS THREAD
-
Good thing the ax wasn't pointing down, right?
I love how the guy on the left never stops smiling, even after the guy on the floor gets hit in the crotch. He enjoyed every second of that stunt.
Good point. Looks fake-ish, now that I look into it more closely.
-
What a coincidence, I was dreaming about splitting wood last night. Not this kind of splitting wood however.
-

I don't think the fact the people are depicted doing stupid stuff makes the clip any less believable.
Looks like a science teacher was trying to impress students.

I was dreaming
I woke up about an hour early because my sister was making a lot of noise. Before that, I was dreaming some combination of the high school I went to and Fallout 3. Also, someone had an abyssal blade or something.

I'm not so sure. It looks like it was slowed down and the resolution sucks, but that says very little about the veracity of the stunt.

BTW, this is what google recommended as the next video after that one.
Hehe hehe NUTshell heh hehe...

Repeatedly emailing the owner of a chan-style imageboard that crude hand drawings are child porn.

I refuse to believe an actual non-troll did this.
The directions for filling are literally on the side of Zippo fluid can.
Then again, TRWTF is not using Zippo fluid with a Zippo lighter

- You're not supposed to cut that. If that's what he's expecting to do with that tool.
- No wonder it doesn't work, someone changed your PSU for junk.
- Network cable going nowhere
Extra: kid is too hype, better go to a boys band.
-
I count 10:
- Computer repair, but no ESD strap
- Pliers needed for cable management.
- White Case
- Motherboard power cable going nowhere important / Power cables not routed through PSU slot
- Top and side mounted PSU
- Cover taken off PSU
- Random light just sitting in PSU.
- Plier grip doesn't even make sense
- No optical drive installed but a slot is taken out for it
- Case sitting straight up instead of on side when installing components.
-
-
Why is there a network cable left on top of that machine when it is being fixed? It's dangling down in the way too.
For that matter, why isn't it on a table? You'd get a much better angle for working if you did that.
Final confusing thing: what's up with that kid's haircut? Where's he from, Bad Barnet?

Considering the tiny-ness of that CPU cooler, it's probably like a AMD Athlon 1700+ or something. Potentially the year CPUs like that were current, that haircut might still have been in style.
EDIT:
Holy shit I am good at guessing motherboard/CPU combos based on awful stock photos. *updates resume*

Fuck, better forget about the boys band thing.

Or he's Russian.
Russians were definitely involved somehow.

I kinda hope for the sake of humanity that's what it is. I really really really hope that person doesn't actually think you spell it that way.

Given all the other misspellings and grammatical errors, I am not optimistic.

Nor am I.
Also, 10 year old kids not wanting to do work is not an indication of failure (although the spellar and gramming in that post is). That whole post is trwtf.
-
Even if that got autocorrected (and I'm not convinced it did) - I don't get why people don't check that what they typed and what they actually got are the same thing before hitting send?
-
that whole post is TRWTF, amirite?
-
Well autocorrect could be...
feiling ~> [failing|felling?]falling ~> E_ALREADY_VALID
That's about all I could see autocorrect doing...
-
check that what they typed and what they actually got are the same thing
-
Paging @accalia
-
i see no problems here...
all is correctorly spellared.
-
Because we all know that as long as the tokens in a string are valid, that string is in the language.
-
How the f**k do you mangle failing to felling? Seriously?
Maybe the author has a strange accent, such that 'failing' and 'felling' are homophones for them.

If someone who can't spell "failing" was trying to give you spelling lessons, how enthusiastic do you think you'd be about it?

So. I’m participating in a thing that has openly identified itself as a “safe space.” ...Everyone’s having deep conversations, and relishing in the fact that they are having deep conversations. It’s great. The space is 50 shades of safe.
...
So. I’m realizing “safe space” might mean different things for different people.
...
For me, a safe space is one in which I feel that I can express all aspects of my identity without feeling that any one of those aspects will get me (including, but not limited to) judged, fired, marginalized, attacked, or killed.
...
The poetry slam, though, presents the real question. At this point in reality, can there even be a truly safe space?The poetry slam? Is that like a body slam? No, of course not. Earlier in the article, we read this:
And then a white poet gets on stage and says the n-word a few times.
As is typically the case, Iowahawk is on the case (no clue, honestly if it's in reaction to this, but it fits):

I don't think so. There are references in the comments to Michigan: "Remember, it was in Michigan." "UM fight song"
thecrimson.com is The Hahvahd Crimson.
-
I don't think so.
Yeah, I tend to agree (though I didn't look at any of the replies). But since there's no explicit subject in the tweet we can apply it as necessary.

Google Maps is broken. MK is easier to understand than that. A lot of the important bits are off H6. Where do you need to be?
-
Travelodge MK Central; I'm actually going to Silverstone for the weekend, but obviously need somewhere to stay.
Edit; Looked on a map. It is actually really easy to get to from the M1; basically A509 then V6
-

You going Manchester > MK? Or Manchester > Silverstone > MK?
Edit; Looked on a map. It is actually really easy to get to from the M1; basically A509 then V6
Ah, nvm. Manchester > MK first? Yeah. M1 > H5 > V6.
Filed under: The whole H5, V6 shit makes sense

I was ready to agree with that being a bad idea at exactly that point. Unless you're going to visit Bletchley Park.

Welcome to net neutrality! We’re going to start taxing your broadband now.
"Now the fee could start appearing on broadband bills too, in a major expansion of the nearly two-decade-old Universal Service Fund program."
Brillant job, liberals and other dumbasses, begging for more regulation that wasn't necessary.

Could != will...
Sure, sure, except that in this case they will if they think they can get away it.
Don't forget the USF had it's origin in a tax to pay for the Spanish-American War of 1898. (Or maybe it was a different tax, but I remember there was one that didn't get repealed for over a hundred years.)

Isn't "at the roundabout take the second exit" basically, as far as MK is concerned, "Go straight over the roundabout." For 99.999999% of the roundabouts there?

You Brits seem to have a love affair with roundabouts.

It's certainly true in the case of MK.
What gets me worked up is why councils (Gateshead, Sunderland and Newcastle especially) have started putting traffic lights on them.
?
So, not only do you have to stop at the give-way lines if a car is coming from your right (i.e. it's already on the roundabout) you also have to stop if nothing is coming and the light is on red.
And if you're on the roundabout in front of a red light ( ), you mustn't move even if nothing is coming from your left.
