Florida Man 2

moonsammy says...

I've got a lot of respect for the interviewer. No way could I ever handle putting myself in any of the situations he does. And as ridiculous as his interview subjects are, they're also real people. I think it's worthwhile to document the more fringe / bizarre elements of society.

Harry Potter and the Return of the Receipt

moonsammy says...

I really, really hope that shopper found the recording. I wouldn't have known what to do with myself - do I bother trying to tell someone about it, knowing they'll likely either not believe me or not understand how bizarre it really was?

Portrait of Lotte, from birth to 20 years old

The flu, partying night before...

I just think it's bizarre behaviour of all involved. As it's happened since birth, she's normalized it, but being programmed to think being recorded is just another weekly chore -like I had to collect and take out the trash- is an alien concept to me.

She has achieved her Warhol Quota though...

EDIT: Her brother Vince is being documented too:

Why The End Of Smoking Is Complicated

AeroMechanical says...

Odd how the the timing coincides with the release of IQOS in the USA. That is a totally bizarre and inexplicable machine without the knowledge that it was engineered by lawyers: "We need to get into that non-combustable category somehow, but it also has to be a tobacco product."

Sexual Assault of Men Played for Laughs

As someone who watches a LOT of kid's movies with my daughter, I notice an alarming regularity of torture in children's media.

You like Pixar movies, right? Pick a Pixar film, ALL of them have a torture scene. It's bizarre.

It's late, so I'll be succinct about these, but let's define torture as follows:
Torture - noun - the act of deliberately inflicting severe physical or psychological suffering on someone by another as a punishment or in order to fulfill some desire of the torturer or force some action from the victim

Fair?

This is a short list I can think of off the top of my head

Toy Story
Sid tortures Woody "Where are your rebel friends NOW?" as he burns his forehead

Toy Story 2
Stinky Pete tortures Woody "You can go to Japan together or in pieces. Now GET IN THE BOX!"

Toy Story 3
Buzz gets put in the "time-out chair" with a burlap bag put over his head and is forced to turn on his friends

Monster's Inc.
Mike is put in the "scream extractor" and is interrogated "Where's the kid?" as the extractor inches towards his face.

Wreck it Ralph
Ralph asks "What's going on in this candy coated Heart of Darkness?" Sour Bill tries to run away but Ralph picks him up and threatens to lick him. "I'll take it to my grave" "Fair enough" and Ralph pops Sour Bill in his mouth "Had enough?" "OKAY OKAY I'LL TALK!"

Cars 2
The green-gasoline in his tank, the spy car is put in front of the radiation shooting camera and is interrogated about who the other spy is and who has the information about the green gas he recovered that could unravel their plan to get revenge for being discriminated against for being "lemons." His engine explodes (he's killed?) in spite of giving up the information.

The Incredibles
Mr. Incredible is restrained via some black goop and asked about his family's whereabouts on the island.

Finding Nemo
Near the end of the film when Dory finds Nemo but Marlin has wandered off thinking Nemo was dead, they need to know which way Marlin went and come across the little crabs sitting on the pipe "heyyyyyyyyheyyyyyyyyyyheyyyyyyyy" "Yeah I saw where he went, but I'm not telling you, and there's no way you're gonna make me." Dory lifts him up and threatens to feed him to the seagulls sitting on a small rock until he starts screaming "OKAY ILL TALK ILL TALK HE WENT TO THE FISHING GROUNDS!!!"

I could go on, but I hope to make this simple point:
These films do NOT have to include a torture scene. It's simply odd to me that it appears so often, instilling the idea early on that torture works for getting information or cooperation out of people.

Finally, I point to one of many pieces of research on the matter https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC5325643/

What Does a Nuclear Bomb Explosion Feel Like?

artician says...

It sounds crazy, but I think it was a product of the brightness, like holding up a flashlight to your hand.
That's not to diminish what they experienced, but I don't think it's as unnatural or bizarre as how it's related here.

Vox: Why so many sitcoms look the same.

moonsammy says...

It's quite the bizarre irony that completely dull lighting like that was a brilliant innovation, but it makes sense given the limitations and requirements at play. Thanks for posting this!

The US-Canada Border Splits This Road Down The Middle

Mookal says...

Also interesting:

The town of Point Roberts Washington, just south of Vancouver, BC, as well as the not exactly populated Northwest Angle, in Minnesota, both American exclaves.

The only overland routes from America to either location require crossing two borders.

Similarly, I find this to be a prime example of how borders are really, meant to be broken down. The only ones that truly care are xenophobes et al, politicians and corporations.

Does anyone know the original video these clips were pilfered from? You know, the one that actually talks and give us the real info behind the film clips.
I hate these types of filtered videos.

Djent 2018

moonsammy says...

It does appear to be more of a hilarious novelty than a serious instrument. There's clearly no way to fret on the lower (upper?) half of the strings without having your left hand in a completely bizarre position, or placing it in your lap.

Also, why the hell is one of the strings pitched higher than the string below it? At 47 - 49 seconds you can hear it, and it's labeled as a C# between F# and G#. I'm not imagining that, am I?

spawnflagger said:

so it's a regular electric guitar with a bunch of extra strings that are hardly ever touched?
I'm not an expert but I couldn't hear anything that couldn't be replicated with 1 or 2 effects pedals...
