Like any of these losers even need to wring their hands about this. Since when have they stepped inside a gym even? Besides that being clearly a photoshoot, you could be wearing ugly sweats and a garbage bag and the one weirdo is going to sit on the bench behind you and creep out.

But mostly you will be ignored no matter what you're wearing as everyone gets busy with their workout so they can go to work/home.

Imgur users are legitimately bewildered by the concept of professional barbers and hygiene.

But as if that's not funny enough, we have this within the first few comments:



"lol have you heard of this Caesar guy (only history nerds will get this ;) ;) )"

Claiming Caesar is an obscure historical reference is like saying 'LOL only smart people have heard of Einstein' or 'Only TRUE patriots would know who George Washington is!'

Dead weight, just like this post.



To be fair i think the comment was just for the fact that the guy made a joke about Caesar at all rather than Caesar being obscure.

I mean the dude has a salad named after him so he's gotta be important right?

My dad was a high school teacher for about 10 years before he retired and I got to read some of his student reviews. These don't seem too far off to be honest. One of his most common ones was "it's cool that you swear sometimes."

There's a guy in the comments section being praised as he goes through link by link debunking each thing for having a terrible source, and then just stopping after like ten because he realizes it won't get better.

I know we've talked before in this thread about how the most popular comments on bad front page posts are usually against the content of the post itself, but it never ceases to amaze me how much the actual, active community (assuming the people who take the time to make accounts and comments are representative of what that site can call a community) differs from the people who upvote the images from MRA subreddits or wherever else. As others have said, the site might actually not be terrible if they removed the voting system.

poo poo posts like that are such an odd combination of being upvoted into the thousands by people, and then commented into oblivion (and those comments being voted highly) by rational adult human beings. Personally, I think it's an age difference. Younger posters tend to hang out in the User Submitted Images area and upvote that garbage, then the adults who browse the main page at work :rolleyes: at the poo poo and comment and downvote.

A lot of the comments were weirdly reassuring, but this one is easily my favourite.

That being said, it's still sort of weird seeing a lot of people not being able to parse out the fact that a lot of these quotes are not in context, or are written by women who remain pretty controversial and end up saying, "This isn't REAL feminism," or, "I'm a feminist, and I love men :downs:" Not that this is anything new. Still, though, nice to know most people know the OP is a frothing weirdo.

One of my biggest pet peeves was when people posted "What's the source of this? I need it for...research purposes." To me that always made it sound a million times creepier when people said that, plus it was so unoriginal, literally the exact same joke made millions of times over and over. That being said, I think it's a little cute that they're called porn stars scientists now, but I'm sure they'll run that into the ground too.

Also, I was curious as to what the hell r/christiangirls was, so I opened it up. It's literally just full of naked girls wearing christian religious iconography. People on reddit are weird.

I was thinking about that and Walter White is also a good point to bring up with people idolizing an abhorrent character. My favorite example of this was Alan Moore basically saying fans of Rorschach should stay the hell away from him and his family.

I went to high school with a kid who I am pretty sure was a legit sociopath and he used to wear a shirt often that had a Rorschach quote which went something like, "I wish all of humanity had a collective throat and that I had my hands around it." I'm kind of surprised they make merchandise like that, since it seems like it would appeal pretty hard to a crowd of people you wouldn't want associated with your brand. The Rorschach quote about the politicians and whores drowning in their own filth sounds like it could've been written by one of the Columbine dudes.

That's not a Rorschach quote, that's a Carl Panzram quote. Like, the actual serial killer who proudly claimed to have raped over a thousand men.
