Id like to point out two misleading statements in the below tirade.

1) It's the general consensus amongst historians that the pyramids were built by free men.

2) Whilst there is a reasonably high suicide rate in the Foxconn (et al.) factories in China, per capita the suicide rate is lower than China as a whole (not defending that company, but putting it in the correct context.)

Not to mention that Foxconn don't really do anything technologically groundbreaking. They just build the laptops and phones. Things like the processor would be made in places like the US or Ireland.

Louis C.K. is still an incredibly funny man.

I agree. But all comedians tend to stretch the truth to make their jokes work. I think the humour comes out of the picture if you're familiar with Louis CK and are reading it in his voice. He's the master of frank delivery.

Can there be a "don't quote the pic" rule for this thread as well? Any chance?

What is with the selfies showing people with a camera in hand? I mean, some of them are probably geuine but really, how many people have a mirror on the ground in the corner beside a couch, or one sitting on the edge of their bed? :mad:

It all started with this one. The rest are parodies of it.

I assume both of you would have no objection to taking the position of the two gents on the ground floor, reaching up to the task at hand?

I thought it was a mattress? Has it already hooked one of the fans blades?

Oh, I get it now, I figured it was a mattress.

Its taking 3 lads to lift it over a railing and 2 lads to catch a couch dropping from a height. They dont look the strongest either! I'd say the railing, wall & floor will take some damage!

It's a mattress, but the skylight in the background makes it look like they're hoisting a couch over the railings.

It looks as if Obama is turned down by the first two for handshakes so jpchanges to introducing them, when really I think he was just introducing everyone anyway!

I assume it's that it looks like Obama is either snubbing or being snubbed for handshakes. Apparently some people don't believe in introductions.

Right, so the reason I don't get it is that I'm not an idiot. Thanks!

Look at the shape the granite makes in the brick wall. Looks like a cock and balls.

A minecraft enemy called a Creeper, they blow up if they manage to get too close to a player

Yeah, they're called Creepers and can explode, destroying portions of land/buildings. If some explode together, they can cause substantial damage to something that a person could have spent hours building!

What's with all the minecraft jokes lately. Well, two of them. Is there a new game or something out or just a coincidence?

Its been out a few years and its immensely popular, some version of it runs on nearly everything hardware-wise, near ubiquitous game.

I posted up that creeper/sandcastle just because I saw it elsewhere and thought it funny, not necessarily to do with a new version of it or anything.

This has completely bypassed me and got a lot of thanks. Is it because a girl or ladyboy left the mens jacks? Whats the funny?

seamus

Lots of stuff is funnier on Reddit because there's some context given rather than just a picture. This one is a picture from a Thai beauty pageant, and yes the funny is the girl coming out of the men's toilet.

Cookie_Monster

an event where women use the mens cause they have to queue at theirs, what a shocker!!!

Aenaes

I think it's more to do with the whole stereotypical thing of Thai ladyboys/transvestites.

That's Sagat from the Street Fighter games. "Tiger" is what he shouts when throwing a fireball, & he's known to be a serial fireball thrower...hence Tiger Tiger Tiger. The scumbag steve hat is what some people feel he is for spamming fireballs

It's the "Next time you're watching a video on youtube, hit pause and then 1 9 8 0".

Pressing those keys just skips to different parts of the song and then back to the start?!
..which also doesn't make much sense while the video is paused.

try it again. Keep it paused, and type 1980 again.
Sometimes I've found that it doesn't work the first time.

That is one surprisingly addictive game. Never knew about that before.

Turns out it was just the browser I was using.
Trying it in Chrome sorted it out for me.
