jesus christ that is awful

stickmen: for when you need to express a platitude in the most infuriatingly faux-naive manner possible

After one gin and tonic, one still feels that badness exists, and one finds it troubling.

Two: badness exists but I am glad it cannot get to me in that moment.

Three: the remoteness of badness is a blessing.

Four: we are all brothers and sisters and we should just hug stuff out.

Five: wheeeee! Everythings are beautiful!

Six: oh holy shit everything is horrible and it needs to all die by fire

poss needs context. it's an awful slummy-mummy blog type account that usually posts 'lol aren't my kids awful' stick men cartoons. This is their non-lol reaction to the terror attacks.

A good run here of sharetrash units which are, not entirely wrong, but questionable, and then when you question them they get even more questionable

know it's against the spirit of the thread, but usually find Hurrah for Gin pretty funny, and not at all represented by the mawkishness above. Her one on World Book Day was pretty spot on as far as the life I'm currently living for example - http://hurrahforgin.com/2017/03/01/topsy-and-tim-the-world-book-day-catastrophe/

wow that's insufferable

that's as if hyperbole and a half had no sense of whimsy or narrative flow and much worse art

5 years of this thread and we still haven't figured out why we're such jerks

it doesn't matter. nothing matters. only the gin.

guys i'm starting to wonder if it's not us who are the real jerks here

Milli Vanilli's deaths will not be in vain

also there's nearly 20,000 posts itt, should we maybe think about starting a new one?

I think that was tried but didn't stick? We need a good name for it!

'this is the thread where we discuss matters pertaining to the detrius that accompanies the stupid shit people post on facebook'

yeah there was a new thread that withered on the vine, I imagine loading all posts on this thread would cause serious injury

A break from the usual image macros. This was an album share - showcasing an artist who creates images of moments in his relationship which tell us what love is.

Love too make cereals

this thread can never be replaced

we're gonna keep it going until it can be classified as a weapon of mass destruction

I'm glad at least one of the images before the break isn't gone

they really do get stuff done

heh, bitches

my atm pin is 1221 and i keep getting arrested every time i try to take money out :(

xp Oof that's bad - I really doubt that's true everywhere, so not a good idea to share it as safety advice.

I quite like those cartoons in a way but they're a bit cutesy and get more so the longer you look at them.

In fact wait a minute it can't be true because how wd they know you were typing in your pin backwards unless you told the machine what it was already ...

I just can't imagine the kind of fundamental misunderstanding of How Things In The World Work you'd have to have to believe things like this. And yet I see people I know, people I went to school with who I would assume know better, share these things all the time.

Why not just write, "If you put your PIN in backwards the ATM will spray knockout gas that will disable the thief, so hold your breath really quickly before you type it in!"

I really doubt that's true everywhere

it isn't true anywhere

In fact wait a minute it can't be true because how wd they know you were typing in your pin backwards unless you told the machine what it was already ...

― Never changed username before (cardamon)

Don't they know who you are when you put your card in?

That was a joke, wasn't it?

I can't tell any more . . .

apparently someone suggested this as an actual security measure once and it failed but nonetheless the meme survives

The problem is that crooks would know about it too, so when they saw the money was stuck they might hurt/kill you.

lol a machine with features that could destroy money or harm people, what could go wrong?

Feel like robbing someone later so i can watch them try this

The alarm at one place i worked *did* have a 'duress code' built into it, one you could enter if someone was forcing you to open up and which would alert the police, so it is possible (but obviously bullshit here)

(And the ATM *could* know you'd typed your pin in backwards - it knows when you've typed it correctly so it must know what it is.)

((Or it could be like a password where the hash is stored and the entered password is hashed again and compared against the stored version, which would mean it wouldn't know you'd typed it backwards))

What I'm saying is that this is possible, which is probably why people believe it.

Thing is, 4 digit pin only has 10,000 variants so, as Roberto alluded above, there's going to be thousands and thousands of people who have palindrome PINs.

There does seem to be a brain disconnect with some people when they see something like this on social media. I've also seen fairly bright people sharing shit like this or replying 'Yes' on those fucking ones that say Stare at the photo, click Like then reply Yes and watch the magic happen.

The backward PIN trick is so important and useful that all Banks have left it up ExploreTalent.com to inform all of their customers that it exists through a viral facebook post

maybe taking crowdsourcing too far

the few conversations i've had with my postman lead me to believe that a serial killer delivers packages to my house way more frequently than once a month

That's a parody right

https://www.huntakiller.com/

Honestly those postal game packages do appeal to me, but they're usually hideously overpriced. Also I totally get why "what if a serial killer delivered packages to your door" is a ridiculous advert.

oh, i bet it would be fun! it basically seems like a physical irl version of an interactive story game, right?
