Reddit gems

[RAFIKI]

I used to think that you wouldn't be on a gymnastics subreddit without a smidge of knowledge....however the last few months lurking on there has disavowed me of that notion.

Detachable leo sleeves are a funny idea, but I don't really get mocking people for not knowing anything about the sport and asking questions. How else are you supposed to learn? And honestly, I'll take some clueless questions over the half-baked outrage that sub churns out on a regular basis

Yeah relay teams all get medals.

I've seen some ridiculous comments and questions on FaceBook, too. My jaw has actually dropped several times reading comments.

Facebook is also full of videos of little cheer girls tumbling with absolutely zero technique that have six million comments saying "go girl! Future Olympic champion!" and "how did she not make the Olympic team?" But with shit grammar and spelling, because Facebook.

Facebook is a disgusting boomer cesspool. I deleted it and never looked back.

 

[irichluck21]

Facebook is STILL full of SIMONE IS A QUITTER.

Facebook is also full of boomers being offended about the Drag Queens and their "mockery" of Christians by reenacting the Last Supper. When in reality, the performance was about Greek Dionysus as the God of wine and revelry.

Even when its pointed out with evidence, these folk still deny facts over their feelings.

The best one I saw was a comment on a picture saying “that drag queen is flashing his balls to the children! Groomer!!1” when it was in fact a hole in her stockings…

and even though the guy who came up with the performance said that it was a bacchanal and people interpreting it as a last supper mockery was incorrect, my MAGA family is still all up in arms

I try to avoid spending too much time on parenting forums, but let me tell you, the fireworks over the headless Marie Antoinettes was delightful. "My children were so traumatized and scared!"

I’m not mocking the idea of asking questions, I’m just surprised that a subreddit is the first post of call rather than googling when it comes to the basics. Perhaps that’s my age. There are certainly specific questions that are much better suited to a knowledgable crowd than google. Tbh I often read those threads even when I know the answer because I’m interested to see how various people explain it.

Just wait until they discover what the sports are like.



Twitter's four-year fans have been entertaining so far.

Those children would not have survived kids TV in the 80s or 90s.

I literally laughed out loud... I should sent this to my family

Imagine them watching Courage the Cowardly Dog or Ren & Stimpy or The Adventures of Mark Twain where the child characters encountered Satan who created a whole living clay world and genocided it right in front of them.

That's fair. I'm guessing four out of five are too lazy to Google it and the other one knows they'll get a better answer by asking humans.

Like, guess they've never been to The Haunted Mansion... (oh right, disney is full of "groomers")

At least they aren't asking ChatGPT or something and getting a response that is a mix of facts and insane ramblings.

My favorite is all the clueless people commenting about things they clearly don’t understand on the USAG and Inside Gymnastics pages.
