When you miss the exit in Toronto

ForgedReality says...

Five minutes to go 50 miles and back? Just how fast are you suggesting they drive?

edit - actually nevermind. I didn't pick up on her sarcasm the first time I watched.

nanrod said:

I feel the same. And the stupid thing is at this time of night with light traffic they could have made it to the next exit and back in 5 minutes while it took them almost 2 minutes to risk who knows how many lives.

Jinx says...

I didn't know that but it doesn't surprise me. It's just... hyperbole - using literally in a sentence that should not be taken literally. To me it's exactly like somebody saying "no exaggeration..." and then exaggerating wildly. Would people not expect to be called on that shit? It is too much like lying! It will turn into an arms race - we'll have to develop other means of saying "literally" when we really mean it and in turn those means will be turned against us until ALL LANGUAGE DIES!!!1

but then. Sarcasm. My standards are double. I can offer no defence.

but also, quantum leap. It might be an abrupt change, possible overcoming some sort of previously imagined impenetrable barrier... but it surely must still be a very small change

MaxWilder said:

I admit that I still find it annoying, but the use of the word literal as pure emphasis and not meaning actual reality is over a century old.

Trolling A Homophobic Preacher

Range Rover imitates Rockford and fails

Mookal says...

A Bootlegger is similar, but a little different. Wherein a Bootlegger starts with the vehicle moving forward and ending the opposite direction, a J-turn starts with the vehicle moving in reverse and ending opposite.

Granted there are lots of terms thrown around for these maneuvers.

My rational was that it must take some serious skill to think it was a good idea (sarcasm). Happy to remove the tag if out of place.

Side note, watching again I noticed after the rollover that not only was the bass dropped with the sub flying out, but looks like a gun flies out alongside it? Range Rover + subwoofer + gun = instant cred?

So many questions...

Payback said:

Interesting, never heard of "J-Turn" always known it as a "Bootlegger", as in how bootleggers get away from cops.

Also, in what way is this "skillful"?

Why Isn't Communism as Hated as Nazism?

notarobot says...

Can't tell if that's sarcasm.

This video's bias is so thick, we could slice it into bricks to build houses for the homelss---except that would be (gasp!) communism! Which is pure EVIL.

The guy in the video is so far to the right, I could imagine he curses his non-right leg just for being there.

Right-wing propaganda.

Why Isn't Communism as Hated as Nazism?

enoch says...

@kir_mokum has a point.this is dennis prager,from the illustrious (sarcasm) prager university.

you are not entirely incorrect when you state that this appears to be "fact-based",and it is..up to a point,because those 'facts' have been carefully cherry-picked to lead you to a pre-determined conclusion.

this video,in a nutshell,is propaganda.

he uses the word 'evil" as if somehow it is representative of communism.this is a canard,communism is not "evil",those who wielded power in their respective communist systems,perpetrated those "evil" acts.

communism itself,is not inherently evil.
failed and ultimately destructive and oppressive,but not inherently evil.

we can apply pragers logic to our own economic system of capitalism and come to the exact same conclusion that he did with communism.capitalism also causes immense hardship and suffering,and also death.deaths by the tens of thousands.

is capitalism "evil"?
of course not.

he also states without evidence,or supporting sources,that the "liberal" intelligencia from our higher educational system refuse to admonish communism as "evil".of course they don't,because communism is not inherently "evil",but stalin and moa WERE despotic tyrants,who were responsible for perpetrating immense hardship,suffering and death.a.k.a=evil.

i find it interesting how prager will state,and with zero sense of irony,how communism is "evil" and yet ignore how capitalism,and america's neoliberalsm policies across the globe kill millions.how even here in america,we have cities and towns laid waste by these policies of capitalism.they are called "sacrifice zones",and they look like beruit more than an american city.

i mean,if you are going to blame an economic system for being "evil",at least be philosophically consistent.

but no mention of that at all.
because prager is an ideologue who prays at the altar of neoliberalism and capitalism.he has an agenda,and manipulates facts to fit his own narrative to convince you that his argument is righteous.

it is not.
it is propaganda.

THE WORLD’S FASTEST CAMERA...

vil says...

Any time you "see" an electron or photon, you change the scene (more like you only see the effects of when they hit something).

If you try to "display" the "position" of an electron or photon relative to something else, like another electron or photon, or a matchbox for scale, you get in complicated trouble.

You can't bounce a laser pulse off a photon. Something lost in translation from Swedish? Like a sarcasm tag somewhere?

Alleged Drunk Driver Crash on H-1 Freeway Hits Barrier

ReverendTed says...

I didn't see a sarcasm tag, so I'm going to presume you were asking about the road setup.

This is exit 19-B westbound on IH-1 in Honolulu, the eastern end of H201.

The nearest highway entry is about a half mile back. That entry comes in as its own dedicated lane, and then becomes exit-only here. (The next lane over is exit-or-go-straight.) I'm guessing the driver either entered there and waited too long to get over into the main lanes, or he drifted into the entry-exit lane to pass the car with the dashcam, not realizing the lane was about to exit.

Fairbs said:

does that seem like a proper road entry? I can't think of where I've seen anything like that before

Can Trump read?

transmorpher jokingly says...

You forgot the hit the sarcasm checkbox....

lucky760 said:

Upvoted this video early, but through the end found it less and less deserving of my vote.

Just seems like Trump may be dyslexic, and I don't particularly find that a great reason to ridicule or belittle any person, especially someone who has been able to achieve so much.

Comedian Attacked By Woman

kceaton1 jokingly says...

It was the dick joke for sure, it hit WAY TOO CLOSE to home. Doesn't everyone agree? Why did I hit the sarcasm button again!?


--------
Now for those that wish to know a bit about that little monument...

I'll assume since he's a comedian he does actually know a bit about the Washington Monument (that is "typically" true for many comedians, they may make fun of something, but they tend to have a fairly in-depth knowledge of just what they ARE making fun of; though not always).

It is, of course, an obelisk. An obelisk was chosen for Washington (probably due to some of his Freemason views, who knows; they may have played a part--a decently big one in my eyes--lots of Washington D.C. is like that) as obelisks are some of the oldest structures in Egyptian culture--for George it was to mean this: "...to evoke the timelessness of ancient civilizations, the Washington Monument embodies the awe, respect, and gratitude the nation felt for its most essential Founding Father..."!

It was fairly hard in "its day" to make and complete; its original design was a HUGE undertaking but was scaled down along the way as resources and support dwindled. It took a very long time to finish and holds a great many distinctions, and most certainly isn't a, "...cement structure." (if you took that literally). It's marble and put together like a puzzle (kind of like brick and mortar, all the way up; a lot of it is marble--two different kinds, Pre-Civil-War, Post-Civil-War). For the time this was an actual engineering feat, from a degree due its height and size (when completed, it was the tallest BUILDING in the entire world--again explaining why it wasn't an "easy" build at all) and from there many of the "goodies" that were included within the project. BUT, the original design that would have made that monument quite different (not so "clean" or "empty") was changed by the final person with the say so, changing MANY details about the whole Monument from its original framework.

Look that up yourself, but one part is the fact that both the ground around it would be FAR different AND the Obelisk would look FAR different as it would be decorated with all the ornamentation, wording, symbolism, etc... From 1848 to 1884; from one idea to a fairly different one; one that was more attention getting and true to the Egyptian building, and their new ideas; to something different; a blank, clean look as it is now.

"Police PSA"On Incredible Under Utilized Auto Safety Feature

eric3579 says...

When you have to explain the obvious (use your fucking turn signals) to the idiots* among us, sarcasm just feels right.

*you can choose whichever descriptive term you think apropriate

LiquidDrift said:

I get pissed all the time when people don't signal, but I still want to punch him in the face for being a sarcastic douche.

Japanese Pool Player Gives Great Interview

glyphs says...

Haha, OK. It's funny, but I'm unclear as to whether or not you guys are making fun of me or not.
At this point I'm still recovering from the effects of dealing with the storm of memories that flooded my brain after maniacally confirming that the sift indeed did "break up" with me.
I love this website because everyone posts such amazing stuff and in truth I have felt guilty for not contributing to the community more, but I'm not that good at that, so I'll try and do better. Wasn't there a dude on here called chaosengine from NZ who used to comment a lot what happened to that guy?
Anyway, thanks for not banning me because I really love this place.
I never created an account before because I'm a bit wary of speaking up because people here be cray cray [sarcasm] and public vilification is terrifying, despite the anonymity (so, yes I'm a real person).
