I am well aware this is a crazy cool feat of engineering, however everyone keeps praising Elon Musk for it. Such a stunt probably took a team of some of the smartest engineers in the automotive industry, yet this stunt has Elons name in every post and article talking about it. The guy couldn’t even make a paper airplane glide if he tried.

Non-fictional I HATE hesitation for CPR on women

Post image
6.8k Upvotes

For those who don't know, women are 27% less likely to receive bystander CPR than men.

The ideal spot for CPR is with the heel of your hand pressed against the sternum, which is between the breasts. Most types of bra will reduce the quality of your compressions. It's best to remove it when you expose the trunk (ideally with trauma shears). That said, any CPR is better than no CPR.

There are videos online showing how you can protect modesty during first-aid, e.g. Christian Eriksen's cardiac arrest which happened live on TV. I recommend you watch it, as it shows how you can use bodies to protect privacy while still administering quality first-aid.

This scene from Final Fantasy 7: Rebirth is a good example of a scene that I hate. It's got quirky music and a mortified looking Cloud Strife, in a situation which should be intense.

She's not breathing, someone has taken the lead and instructed him to start compressions, but he hesitates because of Yuffie's boobs. And to top it all off, she spontaneously wakes up and calls Cloud a "creep!"

It's media like this, combined with a lack of proper first-aid education, and fears of being sued (Google if your country has "Samaritan" laws) which make CPR on women a confusing and scary topic for your average bystander.

Remember from your DRsABC:

Check for Danger

Check for a Response

Shout for help (call 999/112/911)

The call handler or operator will walk you through the rest. But I do urge you to go on a first-aid course, either if it's your first or if it's been a while, because everyone should know how to save a life.

Before you call me racist and making generalisation, im african and have saw many exemple of this.

Those parent are evil, having such little money but still making more child every year and putting childs that didn't even want to be born into this situation. They barely eat don't even go to school and just do little job here and there to get little money because the parents yk, those who are supposed to get the children food and other thing ARE UNEMPLOYED BUM. Its pathetic that adult can't control themselve and don't respect there responsability and put them on child. If yk you can't feed childs and put them to school, than don't have kids use a FREAKING condom its not tgat hard because doing this is fucking horrible

I just don't like those big family where the adult do nothing exept reproduce and make the childs do everything

Thing I hate this image

Post image
4.0k Upvotes

This image sucks for many reasons but I’ll just list them all pretty quickly

  1. ⁠Guy who made it is kinda annoying and constantly reposts it all the time
  2. ⁠It’s one of those “they’re women so no hate they get is valid because it’s just sexism” things, pretty obvious especially with pizzacake being there
  3. ⁠Genuinely terrible examples, Jaiden is pretty much the only valid one. Pizzacake gets hated for many things and has pretty much never brought up religion, besides pizzacake deserves her hate she’s an asshole. Vivzie is also disliked for reasons other than gender/sex like poor writing and being arrogant. The men are possibly the worst examples to use for “men who get off completely free” like Matt and Trey above literally got death threats from terrorist groups and were stalked by Scientology. They have it worse than the three girls combined.
  4. ⁠Whole post is a goomba fallacy. OP likely doesn’t see that the people hating the girls are completely different from the ones who support the guys.
  5. ⁠All the creators have completely different audiences and levels of fame. The men at the top are high profile and don’t have a specific “comment section” to get shat on for, while the girls careers are BUILT on their internet presence and so have a lot easily ways to poke fun at. It’s just weird they’re comparing a small Reddit comic artist to fucking Seth McFarland
  6. Majority of the girls were hated by specific religious minorities who didn’t like her, and weren’t hated by the majority. In contrast the guys up top have a lot more split and diverse opinions rather than just “everyone like them”

Live Action I hate self diagnosis

Post image
3.7k Upvotes

And the fact people on Reddit are "ride or die" for self diagnosis being the same as an official diagnosis.

Sorry, but it isnt.

Its especially prevelent for autism, adhd & ptsd. Idc how long the waiting list is, idc that you saw similarities when you googled symptoms. Self diagnosis doesnt mean shit.

And it wouldnt be a problem if people who self diagnose werent so fucking vocal about it. A self diagnosed person will be the first to blame their shitty behavior on a mental illness they may/may not have.

Just cos ur a bit silly doesnt mean ur autistic. Just cos ur a bit speedy doesnt mean you have adhd. And these people poison the well for people who actually have these disorders.

I understand that some self diagnosed people do have what they say they have. But in the same vein alot dont.

Im never going to take self diagnosis seriously. And that probably makes me a villain on reddit but idgaf. Tired of larpers & people invalidating my own & other peoples struggles & the negative symptoms that you dont seen because someone is "haha im stimming xD 🤪 merp" diagnosing themselves & making light of our struggles.

Im a bit drunk so if this is incomprihensable i apologise, but i hope i got my point across.

I know this will get downvoted to shit cos most Redditors are self diagnosed with something & think this is a personal attack on them. Which it is. Fuck you.

Edit 2. Someone in the comments said something that i should have put in the original post that i 100% agree with;

"You can tell people you THINK you have something. but if youre not actually diagnosed its just a straight up lie to say you have any disorder"

Thing I hate superficial political virtue signaling memes

Thumbnail
gallery
1.3k Upvotes

I’m not a fan of this trend of pairing kawaii characters such as Hello Kitty or those from Animal Crossing and fandom characters with left-wing political slogans (e.g., ACAB, trans rights, BLM, anti-ICE). It looks like a superficial virtue signal used mostly to follow popular social media trends and aesthetics before moving on to the next topic. It’s even more cringeworthy when they use slogans such as “eat the rich,” because Animal Crossing and Hello Kitty belong to Nintendo and Sanrio, respectively, both multibillion dollar companies.

This isn’t a new phenomenon, either. “Hello Kitty ACAB” edits were already being written about back in 2020, and people were calling the trend out as performative even then.

The interesting part is that combining the image of mass consumerism with social commentary is far from being new. In avant-garde political and art movements like the Situationist International or even Pop Art, they reappropriated the symbols of consumer culture and turned them against itself, a concept called “détournement.” But this trend is none of that. The original point of détournement was to subvert. Here it’s just using kawaii characters as a way of making complex social problems and political ideas look “aesthetic” and palatable for social media, a way of saying “I’m such a great person” before moving onto whatever gets you the most likes and followers.

You could argue that putting a protest sign in a mascot’s hands is "subversive," but the mascot stays cute and on-brand, so nothing is actually disrupted. There is no subversion of the corporate image, it’s just a multibillion dollar character (Hello Kitty's value is roughly worth $80-89 billion) holding an “eat the rich” sign. The Situationists had a word for this: recuperation), when subversive imagery gets absorbed back into the system it was meant to attack. Sanrio loses nothing, and it may even gain from the association.

You can see this in how interchangeable the format is: swap out the text and the same Hello Kitty works for “eat the rich,” “BLM,” or “cops ain’t cute.” In 2020, it was BLM, in 2026, it’s ICE. The slogan changes, but the template always stays the same.

To be clear, I’m not against BLM, trans rights, or any of these causes, or that you can somehow not enjoy a popular intellectual property while disliking the rich and wealth inequality. My issue is with the format. Turning serious issues into a cute and shareable aesthetic pretty much trivializes them. The people most affected, like Black Americans facing police brutality and transgender people fighting for their rights in many US states, the UK, etc., get their struggles repackaged into something "cute" and easy to scroll past. It makes the issue more palatable for people who don’t have to deal with it, and it lets sharing a pink Hello Kitty edit feel like doing something rather than... I don't know, taking real action? Even just a small monthly donation could make all the difference.

Thing I hate that we can't use some of the coolest things just cause some dipshits decided to copy and use them and now people associate any similar thing with a hate symbol

Thumbnail

Do you know how now stores need to put a sign in their windows to explain to turists that the penintents aren't related to the KKK despite how they are centuries older than the country were they started? And how is some of the coolest outfit that catholicism ever made but since a racist group decided to use clothes that looked similar to commit hate crimes.

Or how the entire buddhist symbolism of the swastika is completely undermined under the idea of a facist regime from less than a century inverted the symbol and startee to use in their flag. And is not just a buddhist thing, i remember a the X files episode where they have to explain that the group of romanian aren't nazis and that they uses the symbol for protection way before both world wars.

I guess that it make a little sense with Neji since the hyuga used the mark to slave people based on what they believed was their birthright. But then you have Tokyo revengers, that i wouldn't call a good series, but is unwatcheable with the amount of censorship they added to the manji in the tokyo manji.

And is not only ancient things. I'm still pissed with the fact that pepe the frog is still considered a hate symbol by the ADL cause there's edits of him as doing a hate speech, you can do that with literally any character in existance, and is correct to call out people for make those images, but call the fucking draw of a frog crying a hate symbol cause people made edits of that is stupid as fuck. By that logic we should call the punisher's skull or the hulk a hate symbol.

I'm glad that most people know that it can be used in a lot of contexts.

However, i understand why this is made and why it would be hard to explain each time that the symbol they use is way older than what people associate to.

They are just too thin, like stick figures. In fact, like tumblr-ized stick figures. I don’t like those proportions. Let’s take beezlebub for instance. She’s lwk hot, and I like the bee reference, but she’s too thin, especially given that she’s the queen of gluttony. Yes, I know gluttony really means when one doesn’t like what they have, and thus wants more of it (not to be confused with greed, where one is happy with what they have, and thus wants more of it), but literally why are they too skinny and stuff. I think they should be like a 2 ton blob with a big groany stomach, that would be hot. Additionally, in that one episode where loona visited that one party there, they should’ve done a wg sequence where loona is fed a lot of honey and shi, and in the end, loona is like so fat they can’t move or smth, and in the next couple of episodes, they should’ve made it so that loona just has a big stomach that groans, and she would burp and shit, it would be good and stuff lol

ok so i'm sorry if the image is a bit of a weird one to begin with but like idk what else to use. and obviously disclaimer i fucking hate nazi's and am in no way a nazi apologist.

but it's literally factually incorrect. it's the naval flag. the national flag of nazi germany was the black-white-red flag from 33-35 and the red background swastika flag 35-45. there are no other correct, national flags of nazi germany. it's purely used for aesthetics which is a weird thing considering you're displaying one of the most horrid regimes of all time.

For those who happily avoided this case until now: basically a man got trapped in a cave in the position shown on the photo and despite everyone's best efforts, they couldn't get him out. He died upside down like that, probably in unimaginable pain. The cave was sealed off after that.

Shock value engagement baiters just cannot let this case rest in peace, I swear. Despite never looking for it, I somehow see it brought up at least once per month. Usually on the thumbnail of some YouTube video titled "the worst fates in history" and the like. It's a disgusting, deeply unsettling incident that's horrible to think about. I cannot even comprehend how much torture that man suffered through before his body gave out. I hate being reminded of something so tragic just by browsing on the web. I want things on my feed that make me feel happy, not sick.

Animation i honestly always hated this show

Post image
629 Upvotes

no, its not because of friday night funkin, the fan content or whatever, just the mere concept of it, it always wasn't going to work, and i don't get why so many people went this crazy over it back then

now i am really sorry for the creator that got his show canned when a ton of it was already fully conceptualized, but lets be fr man, what can you really do with this idea past 1 episode?

like, the show is about this corruption thats spreading across several animated shows right? but like, as much as it would've been kinda interesting seeing cartoon characters we know getting put in these fucked up situations, it would've gotten old quick, and we've seen the exact same thing done online

they'd get corrupted, then they'd move onto the next show, rinse and repeat, not to mention the way the show would end could never be done in a satisfying way, it was either gonna be some mcguffin that could uncorrupt everything, they'd all die in the end, or get left living in an empty destroyed wasteland, it was never gonna be that interesting

the worst part of the show is definetely what the message was gonna be, which is.....memes, yes, the glitch is supposed to represent memes, and the creator was gonna tell us how memes corrupt animation by twisting it into something weird and nonsensical........really?

like, it couldn't have been a commentary on how corporations ruin pieces of art by hyper-sanitizing it and milking the fuck out of it? thats the most obvious metaphor you could've done with pibby, but really? MEMES?

even if the corporate execs somehow let the creator take their high-profile character and fucking murder them on screen, this shit would've never been that good, the only value you'd get from watching this is seeing CN characters get fucked up, you'd not get any enjoyment from the story at all, its giving baby's first creepypasta

so yeah, thats just my opinion, if you like it, thats fine, i just hate it

Thing This fucking image

Tldr: it's just cherrypicking, and there are other real problems that modern hot wheels have.

So i'm a hot wheels collector, and i've been like that my entire life, basically as long as i remember being alive. I have hundreds of cars, oldest one being from 1990 and youngest from 2026, so i know my shit

And let me tell you that, this image is just a fucking lie. There are plenty hot wheels cars from 90s and 00s that have smooth base with no details whatsoever, as well as newer cars with detailed base. Most of the time people also say that it's done to cut manufacturing costs, and most of the time its also not true. Some cars have smooth bases because they're supposed to be electric models, or a high-performance ones, etc, and in real life they have smooth bottom too. In other cases, smooth bases with no detailing help cars perform better on hot wheels tracks.

There are older hot wheels models that were retooled (slightly changed in design, most of the time to cut cost of manufacturing) in around 2014ish, and guess what, they still have detailed base, which would not make sense if less detailed bases were made to cut cost of production.

And the worst thing is not only that this image got viral, but also that there are TONS of aspects that hot wheels cut corners due to manufacturing costs: there are a lot less cars that have both metal body and metal bases at the same time now in 1$ segment, when compared to 00s and earlier, some of the cars now have less detailed bodies, because of the way they changed manufacturing process in approx. 2014 (being replacing human workers on factories with machines), for some reason most of the paint jobs on their original models also got MUCH WORSE in late 2010s and early 2020s (in 2026 the situation got a bit better, but still). And OUT OF ALL THOSE THINGS THE AUTHOR OF THIS IMAGE COULD COMPLAIN, They decided to choose the most irrelevant one

There's just something deeply funny about treating basic human experiences like loving your family and enjoying food as some kind of exclusive cultural achievement.

Context: Dia Elias - The First Descendant

[SPOILERS]

She and her mother were both kidnapped and tortured. Her mom escaped captivity, but she became a brainwashed killing machine for the main villain. She gets rescued by her mom, she goes into a coma. She awakens, slowly regains her lost memories, and undergoes training to become a descendant - where it's revealed she's a clone, and she mercy kills her original self.

[SPOILERS]

I waited for her to be playable since the game's launch. I even pondered how her Descendant outfit would look - maybe a knight in sci-fi armor motif, it would've fit her gameplay style, and her protective nature towards her mother. And then, they revealed how her default base design looked...

-The entire back half of the outfit is just a bare thong, and the legs are cut all the way down to the back of the calves...

-It has a thigh and hip widow gap for no reason, and the top and bottom are separated weirdly just to show off her side/under breast and back...

-The top half has a useless hoodie and mask you can't even wear...

Her Arche powers are ice based, and she's ment to be a melee Gunlancer, but has no protection on her whatsoever... It's not even sexy, its just dumb... 😭
