Lets combine speed skating and downhill skiing, nothing bad could happen.

There is a version where they have to race the course in reverse, basically running UP the frozen track on skates.

Many of you recognize that music from Red Alert. But did you realize the name of the track makes it ludicrously appropriate for that video?

Hell March

I played ice hockey growing up and if my knees weren't kinda hosed from it I would be extremely down to try this.

It's not nearly as bad as it looks - they aren't really going that fast, and bouncing off the ice in full hockey gear doesn't hurt. You slide along the ice rather than wiping out like a skier, so basically none of your impetus gets translated into impact. Hell, hockey pants even have a special tailplate to make sure you don't break anything when an opposing player knocks you on your rear end. The only places it looks like you could really hurt yourself is if you hosed up some of the jumps and also botched your landing such that you slammed into an incline at speed, and even then I'm not sure how much worse that would be than taking a bad hit in a hockey game.

You notice how basically everyone in those videos was in the process of getting up as soon as they collected their limbs, frequently before they were even finished falling? They're fine.

Probably easier to legally change the definition of 'mass' so when a guy with an assault rifle only manages to kill 12 people we dont have to use up all our hearts and prayers sending them out willy nilly.

Sadly this is correct. The Guardian just posted this:

How many US school shootings have there been in 2018 so far?

quote:

Just seven weeks into 2018, there have been eight shootings at US schools that have resulted in injury or death.

18 shootings if we include "any time a firearm discharges a live round inside a school building or on a school campus or grounds"


Literally more than one per week.


EDIT: Mass Shooting Data

40 mass shooting so far this year.

I think if they kill less than half their carried rounds then we shouldn't bother sending thoughts and prayers since God already protected as many as he could by sending a psycho with a terrible shot.

So let's say the kid walks into the school with three 30 round magazines. If he kills less than 45 5th graders then it wasn't really a mass shooting. We can just call that a "shooting event."

I got this title for the dumbest fucking possible take on sea shanties. Specifically, I derailed the meme thread because sailors in the 18th century weren't woke enough for me, and you shouldn't sing sea shanties. In fact, don't have any fun ever.
