Cyclist Experiences the Effects of Instant Karma

Dumdeedum says...

Fault is a tricky one there, on a normal road the car would be at fault and on a road with a bike lane the bike would be. In the video the honking happens just as the cycle lane ends so it's a bit of a grey area.

That said, he should have checked behind him and shouldn't have taken offence at the horn.

Chinese guys try to read tattoos

dannym3141 says...

Just to preface this, i got this info from a number of Beijing university physics students, in Beijing.

Many things, in Chinese, are a bunch of descriptions. For example i wanted to find a little statue of a rhino, and my chinese friend taught me to ask shopkeepers for a "xi niu", with a certain inflection. This is when he told me that your inflection can change the meaning of a Chinese word as can the words that follow and precede it. Whenever he asked shopkeepers - and subsequently whenever i asked them - for a xi niu, they always thought i wanted a bull, because i was asking for, literally translated, a "horny cow" as Gary put it. We had to make a mime of a central horn before they understood.... and told me no (different story, hunting a rhino statue across china and finding nothing).

When they gave me a Chinese name, it was some words from a well known and overly flattering Chinese proverb. This makes me think that the same could be true of "coffin man" which could easily come from a provincial saying, or a description the meaning of which escapes these two. I know that my friend from Xi'an struggled to understand phrases and words when he went to uni in Beijing, and his friends used to rib him about being so different. Massive country, the people are diverse. I don't think these guys are expert linguists, and it could just be regional differences.

Daredevil Should Be Named Batman

ChaosEngine says...

New Daredevil on Netflix is great, but it's hilarious how embarrassed the creators are by the name. They only mention it in the last episode and even then it's with a knowing wink to the audience...

Audience: "daredevil"... really?
Producers: look, we know the name is stupid...
Audience: so are the horns on the costume
Producers: GODDAMNIT, WE KNOW!!! But we don't have a choice so just roll with it. ok?
Audience: ehhhhhh....
Producers: check out this sweet fight scene!
Audience: Fuck yeah! Daredevil, horned costume, all good!

Biggest Bladder Stone Ever! GRAPHIC! Saved By Youtube!

worthwords says...

with a stone that size you won't be thinking of passing - the urine would drain around it and if it obstructed then your kidneys would eventually fail.
You might be interested in stag horn calculi in humans - usually precipitated by proteus infection - these clog up the calyces in a branching fashion which would be impossible to pass.

The largest stone recorded in a human is believed to be this one at over 800grams.

Virtual reality, explained with some trippy optical illusion

@newtboy - I'm blown away at how certain you are it's all fake. I suggest you do what I did: Instead of using paper on your screen, just take a screenshot and insert into an image editor and inspect things there.

I cut the three tiles out and pasted them side-by-side and they are in fact the same color: http://i.imgur.com/e5lcV5P.png

I dragged straight lines on the checkerboard before and after the dots were added, and it has only straight lines.

I copied/pasted the blue tabletop, rotated it and it fit perfectly on the other one: http://i.imgur.com/QzT8nc8.png

Nothing was fudged in the video. It just shows how powerfully your brain is latching onto what it believes it is seeing.

It's like that dress photo from a few weeks ago. "Is it white and gold or purple and black?!" Many people were hardcore in one direction or the other.

The only one that left me confused is the pills. 1) He said they were red and blue, but they were yellow and turquoise. 2) They had holes in the pills allowing the background color through; it was only there that they looked colored, otherwise they were just gray. I suspect they were just trying to shoe-horn in a red pill blue pill Matrix reference.

Red Neck trucker says NO to this blonde trying to merge...

Sagemind says...

The truck saw the car.
The truck had time to move left. He clearly saw the car.
The truck never even tried to hit his breaks or slow down.
The truck hit the car either on purpose, or undue care and attention.
The truck driver was distracted on his phone, and never missed a beat in his conversation.

The car was a full car length ahead of the truck when it started to merge - If I could see the car signaling, he could have seen the car signaling. There was room.

We all know that trucks have a longer stopping time. But a single tap on the break instead of holding his foot on the accelerator would have avoided the collision.
And no, the traffic wasn't slowing down ahead - they were all passing and keeping what looks like a steady pace.
If the truck thought he needed to warn the car, he could have used his horn, but he was too busy on his phone.

The Truth About Being Single

poolcleaner says...

I didn't date someone because when I leaned in to kiss her I could see all of these unsightly random hairs poking up from under her make up. I almost puked.

Sorry, ladies. But unfortunately those random hairs, if not attended to for like, I don't know, months and months at a time, they can start growing. Even as a guy if I see that shit on my face, it's gone. So I just couldn't deal and actually turned out of the kiss.

It was classic. Classic like the disgusting close up shots from Ren & Stimpy. I could even hear the tugboat fog horn blasting 2 tones of gtfo pork chops sandwiches. God, it did not smell good either.

Do not mess with a parent - here is why

Payback says...

Sorry man, I've "provoked" this sort of reaction with a guy merely by:

1) Driving at about 10km/h OVER the speed limit,
2) This speed being LESS than what the guy tailgating me obviously wanted to do,
3) Doing a EXTREMELY mild "brake check" ie: barely slowing, just showing brake lights,
4) Waving middle finger after 60 second (actually just over 45 seconds, I timed it) horn blare.

ANYONE who jumps out of their car to confront ANYONE is suffering from road rage. Period. End. Of. Sentence.

All else I feel I should point out is that the reason I feel so certain fat man was the instigator is in his response to the seemingly crazy yelling dad.
