 Old British bicycle ad from Malaya/Malaysia. Don't know if you want to advertise this where tiger attacks are a real issue people face.

I’m here for the traveller’s palm, but I notice that the near and far one have nonparallel axes. That shouldn’t happen. They align the fan east–west.

Wait, does the "soft r versus hard r" actually mean anything at all? I thought it was a thing racists tried to say to excuse their racism? Like if I use a soft r I'm still very much expecting to get punched in the face. Also I always associate "r" with "rere" or "riri" or... you know, kiddo slang for mentally handicapped.

Soft r means they're trying to slide it by; hard r means they want to advertise they're bigots. (The rules if you're Black and among Black people I do not know.)

Speaking as a grade A honky, Soft r means you're trying to emulate the way black people say it to each other and you're either conciously racist or, charitably, an idiot being racist through ignorance. Hard r means you're definitely A Racist saying it as an epithet with full pointy-hood intentions. And if you even have to ask the question don't say either, ever.

You guys are fuckin bananas. If you say the first part of the word and add anything to the second part, whether it's a hard R or a U sound, you're still saying the word. Like unless you're fuckin eleven years old, in which case maybe you're trying to pull something off, but come on.

There’s ads where they full on steal someone’s unrelated video and put a voiceover claiming what a great game it is. I’ve seen it with Charlie/MoistCritikal and it was blatantly a computer, but I wonder if we’re headed toward AI voices that are tougher for people to discern the ads are real at a quick/distracted glance

1.) Are you being chased by a tiger? Yes/No [If yes, move on to question 2] 2.) Are you within reach of a bicycle, or can a bicycle come to your location? Yes/No [If yes, move on to question 3. If no, continue to 4.] 3.) Why are you still reading? You know what to do. Pedal that bike! [If the tiger is in fact a cheetah, please see 4.) 4.) So long, and apologies.

It just ended up starting the commercial arms race between anti-tiger bicycles and tiger sneakers.

Yes/No [If yes, move on to question 2] unless we are dealing with zombie or otherwise altered cheetahs, according to my zoo vet tech, the cheetah is the least likely of the big cats to actually kill you. They are built for speed runs and quick dashes and grabs, unlike lions or jags or leopards or tigers who have a much stronger body, grip, and bite. i think she said jags were the worst, calling them the bulldogs of the big cats, as in they will not let go until they feel like it.

You didn't say they wouldn't still grab you and gently caress your poo poo up, am I just less likely to get eaten by a cheetah or would they actually just leave me alone?

It's also what Cowslips said, they are generally lightly-built, and an adult human could probably fight them off without too much trouble. Mainly for this reason, cheetahs almost never attack people, I'm pretty sure.
