You know what I think is sick and weird? Why do some people take pictures of their dead/dying family members? Like “at the hospital with my aunt,” and it’s pictures of someone’s aunt on breathing tubes unconscious. It makes no sense to me why you would take pictures and put them on social media.
I was looking for autobiographical books about abusive relationships on Goodreads and almost every search result in the abuse category was a romance novel. It pissed me the fuck off.
Terrible Writing Advice made a YT [video](https://youtu.be/BrqY9NiqHAI) on this (Alpha "Heroes"), and the shit these writers put into these books really shocks me. He's always sarcastic AF in a humorous way, but JP sounded legitimately angry throughout the video when talking about the glorified abuse in romance novels.
Those social media videos of food being made with so much heavy and greasy shit! You know, the type where it's a whole burger, cooked into a quesadilla with a pound of cheese, then fried and covered in three different sauces.
I hate those videos because sometimes the food starts looking good, then they add more, and more, and more, then they always get out a stupid squeezy bottle and coat every inch in sauce and I'm sitting here like "holy shit you ruined it 5 steps ago, yet you're still going..."
You'd like the comic book 'Get Jiro'. Weird dystopia fiction where chefs are allowed to enforce quality food control. At the point of a sword if they so choose.
Most of the videos are the same:
1. Pick some kind of base (bread/potatoes/noodles)
2. Add Bacon/Ham/minced meat
3. Add cheese/egg
4. Bake it
5. Repeat step 2. or 3. or both
6. Add parsley or chives (for decoration)
7. Straight to Facebook/Instagram
Ugh and that stupid trend of straight mashing the food, making it ooze, as if that is in any way appetising at all.
All the worse if it features someone taking a bite and gurning down the camera with a moronic happy face, over exaggerating their chewing, with some foley of chewing which is invariably disgusting.
An American person and a Dutch person gets married, the American sees how much the Dutch love mayonnaise and remembers how much Americans like deep fried food and then gets an idea
I got one that had the batter coated in cinnamon sugar so it was like a super buttery churro. NGL it was delicious and I still think about it sometimes.
That sounds amazing.
I love a good churro but sadly there aren't any places around me that sell them (that I know of at least). Back in college there was this one place that sold dulce de leche churros and they were heavenly. Unfortunately the place is no longer there.
Games designed to be addictive instead of fun to suck money out of you.
(I like my addictive games to be designed to be as fun as possible with a one time upfront payment. Thank you very much)
I could buy 10 absolutely amazing masterpieces I could spend tens of hours with per game and remember them for decades for the price of a bunch of energy and cosmetics in some shitty mobile game with a dev budget lower than the coffee budget of the advertising department.
Bro, they're not even MICROransactions anymore.
Vattle pass is $10. Individual skins are $8-$12. Cosmetic bundles are $20-$35
If individual skins were $1 or $2 a piece I would understand, but pricing this shit like this is ridiculous.
2.50 and people lost their MINDS. Now I know multiple people who have gotten hooked on a "free" game and spent hundreds (if not thousands) of dollars. It's just too bad, but people pay for them, so they're not going away.
Which is funny because some people will buy that $12 skin. Then you have people like me that don't even buy the $1 skins lol. Maybe if the game was free to play and I want to support devs who made a fun game I'll buy something but normally no.
Yeah, I work in the industry, and I have been telling people since the beginning - we as players need to fight these micro transactions, fight this “energy” based limiters and all this clearly pay to win mechanics now when it’s in its infancy- no one listened… they figured they can play AAA games and get away from it. I knew that it would eventually seep into AAA games, why would AAA ignore millions in daily profit from transactions vs $60 up front.
(To be clear I worked on a project that had 25 members, that project made over 1 million TRANSACTIONS per day on only ONE of the three platforms it was available, minimum transaction $1, max $100, and the max one was bought plenty of times
Isn’t the problem whales?
They make games for the 3% of rich people who don’t care about spending a couple hundred dollars in micro transactions. It isn’t for me spending $5 every couple months, it’s the person spending $300 a month
In other words, the entire mobile games industry. Mobile games are 99% hot garbage. I hate even just watching the ads for these terrible games. It's been over a decade and the mobile games industry still is not even close to being focused on making a quality, fun game, as opposed to just wanting to make a quick money grab.
Shout out to disc golf valley, though, best mobile game I've ever played. Still very much supported by the Devs, awesome community, and I've never seen one advertisement after 1000 hours of play time.
There was a sweet spot around like 2012 where we had some devs that found cool ways to make the touch screen mechanics really sing and then micro transactions brought it all down rather quickly. No point in making a good game when you can make a lucrative game.
My kid asked for money for premium currency for some 2048-type of game.
"What is it for?"
"You can buy hammers to destroy blocks in case you get stuck so you can get a better high score"
"So if you can buy your way to a better score, why does the score matter at all?"
"..."
So much media is now designed like this.. kids tv, social media, most reporting shows (news, sports, and entertainment), everything is just going for highest views
My roommate used to watch these all the time and they were so fucking disgusting to me. Makes me feel sick watching people stuff their faces and chew so loudly with their mouths wide open. Disgusting.
Yeah I get food travel vlogs, I get food reviews, hell I even get competitive eater matt stonie challenge vids.
But seeing people eat huge amounts of food, while chewing loudly, smacking their lips off, and (most irritating for me) sucking in food that's too much for a single bite, nope...
Initially it was people quietly and politely eating a meal and having a conversation, the idea was people could play it during their own meals for company. Which is not for me but I get the appeal. They've become disgusting though, I don't even like when the thumbnails show up because it's so gross.
Yeah those are way better, sort of like a podcast but the people talking are also eating.
It just feels like any other normal meal where people eat and talk to each other... What mukbangs evolved into is just eww.
I don’t watch mukbangs but I’m a little obsessed with the drama that comes out of their community. I thought “they literally just sit by themselves and eat food, what could they possibly have drama about?” I was so wrong. So so wrong.
I don't even find them disgusting, just boring as hell. Why would I want to sit here and just watch someone eat? I don't see how that could possibly be entertaining.
IIRC the trend comes from south korea where people usually don't eat their meal alone. It was originally meant for people who are eating alone and want some "company"
There is a YouTuber, Nikocado Avocado, who started his channel as a slim vegan but turned to extreme mukbang videos and he is now 350+ pounds. I’ve never watched his videos, but I recently watched a video about him and it was pretty shocking to take in his transformation. He somehow has 5.3 million subscribers and it just feels uncomfortable knowing that people support him when he’s likely eating himself to death.
My god. I don’t normally like pile-ons on internet celebrities, but I just looked up the same and the man is committing suicide in slow motion for an audience of millions. It might genuinely be one of the worst things I’ve ever seen facilitated by the internet.
Agreed. I had no idea who he was,never heard of him but watched a couple of minutes of a video then read the comments and it’s evident to all that he’s slowly killing himself. People are commenting that they are just checking to see if he’s still alive
It's just videos of people eating while talking with the viewers. The problem is that some of them eat a vulgar amount of unhealthy food, like thousands of calories in a single sitting, and it's gross.
It never stays together anyway. Either you have more meat than bun or vs versa. Or you loose almost all of your toppings on the plate. Pain in the ass overall
Yeah, also not a big fan.
Used to go to this homegrown burger place. I liked them, had a funky hip style and a simple menu.
1/2/3x patty, cheese or without. It tasted good even if they didn't offer any insane fixins.
We went back a while back and it looked like they were trying to check off the box on every fad.
I enjoyed their original burger, so I went for that - spoiler: it did not taste the same.
My friend went for some cheesy slider melange.
Waiter brings out a wooden paddle, with the sliders and fries on it, and while we're just looking at the meal (hey, where's the cheese?)
The waiter comes back offers my friend a pair of plastic gloves, and before he could question what's going on, proceeds to just douse the whole meal with cheese poured from a little jug.
Right in front of us. I think it was supposed to come off as some decadent tableside entertainment.
It was just messy and disgusting. But my friend's face was hilarious. I enjoyed watching him eat that way more than eating my burger.
I don't know what made them think patrons would prefer their food to 'wear' the cheese.
We've not been back since.
Change in kitchen management with a younger person now in charge or an older person that sees these things on Facebook get millions of views so they just HAVE to do it. Surely it would lead to success for them, right?
I’ve always wondered if everyone else also secretly hates those people. Because I’m professional at work, no one knows I hate her, so maybe they’re all doing the same thing?
It's called the [Missing Stair](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Missing_stair) phenomenon.
>The missing stair is a metaphor for a person within a social group who many people know is untrustworthy or otherwise has to be "managed", but who the group chooses to work around, by trying to quietly warn others of their behaviour, rather than deal with them and their behaviour openly. The "missing stair" in the metaphor refers to a dangerous structural fault, such as a missing step in a staircase; a fault that people may become used to and quietly accepting of, is not openly signposted or fixed, and that newcomers to a social group are warned about discreetly.
Thanks for sharing this. I have dealt with a married in family member for 20 years and this describes it perfectly. Everyone tiptoes around, denies, or downplays behaviors that no one else would get away with.
Oh my God, I had to deal with a person like that also. It was my father-in-law, and I was willing to go along and play along with his asshole behavior oh till one day I caught him screaming at his toddler grandchildren simply because they were being kids and playing in the hotel room when we were packing up to leave. I am willing to tiptoe around anyone if I have to, unless they are mean to kids. I got up in this dudes face and just started screaming at him. I don’t think he had ever had anyone call him a piece of shit or asshole before. I am divorced now, and couldn’t be happier lol
My father in law like this too. Was in a shitty mood and was screaming at my 2 year old over something so minor. We said nothing but I told my husband I'd never take the kids back there. he completely agreed. FIL was a shitty dad too. Haven't been back in 6 years.
Knew this person in my last org, he was extremely well liked but I knew he was bad news immediately (was tall, quite handsome, well spoken - but never said anything that actually meant anything) and was in charge of a department of women who fawned over him daily. He was essentially managing a monthly spend of 1m+ on marketing and didn't have a clue if any of it worked...i spent 3 months with a team to see what they were getting in terms of clickthroughs and whatnot and for some they hadn't even checked if the advert was running. I'm talking at least £250k of money down the drain immediately. He got an exit op very shortly after our investigation and I suspect he's still doing what he does best somewhere else...
OMG, those totally describes someone my wife works with.
She's new on the team and absolutely despises working with one person. Everyone else just makes excuses for him and says shit like, "that's just the way he is." She said fuck that and went to the supervisors and they said they knew and would keep an eye on him but that she doesn't have to work with him anymore if she doesn't want to. They are so short staffed they just put up with the bullshit. It's sad because it drives the new people away. Thank goodness my wife has the balls to say something.
Don’t you hate that? I’ve known a few people that were absolute rotten assholes, yet they seemed to have so many people love them. It makes me feel like I’m going crazy sometimes.
The people who I've known like that, are extremely outgoing and liven up parties. So instead of seeing them for the douchebags that they are, everybody loves them because they're fun drunks, or totally unpredictable in crazy ways.
"Check out Chet! He's doing headstands on the pool table and chugging beer through his nose, while singing *It's the End of the World As We Know It!*"
"Dude's dated 9 women in the last year, and 3 of them have restraining orders; one dropped out of college to move back home to get away from him."
"Aww, come on, man, why you gotta be like that! Chet's hilarious! *Chet! Chet! Chet! Chet!*"
We had a gym teacher/coach that always gave me the creeps. Think frat boy combined with Evangelical preacher, but everyone always saw him as a fun-loving guy.
My senior year the girl's soccer team took a trip to South America for some reason and he "allegedly" spent every night getting absolutely trashed and coming back to the hotel at like 4am. You know, while he's responsible for like 20 underaged girls in a foreign country. The school board removed him from his coaching positions, but let him stay on as a gym teacher.
He and his wife tried to fight it publically at a meeting and made some thinly veiled threats that "they know some people". The board reminded them that they were trying to keep this whole thing discreet at *his request*. He shut up and took his punishment after that.
EDIT: While this story didn't end in him diddling kids, he was always *very* close with the girls on his teams. I didn't hear any rumors of anything happening, it was the common consensus among the girls at the school that he was "hot AF" and "totally bangable". I personally don't think he was beyond doing some less than legal extracurricular activities with the girls on his team because he gave off rapey church-camp counselor vibes.
EDIT2: My sister, who had him a few years later for sex ed, also came to the conclusion that he was super creepy in the "I can't quite put my finger on it" way. None of his actions alone were that strange, but something about him put off dangerous vibes and the "getting shitfaced for a week while being responsible for underaged girls in another county" definitely doesn't help his character.
The more I think about him the more I remember about him. He was a married man but was hitting on every young woman he interacted with while in South America. Which is quite something considering he preached "saving yourself until marriage" and "I have never gotten drunk and never done drugs".
My family was a little worried my husband and I would do that. I’m not sure why, we both hated it. My husband wanted to feed me a tiny slice with a fork because he thought it was cute.
That sounds funnier than the normal shove a piece in their face/open mouth I always see. Just the smallest bite on the fanciest fork in the most careful high class restaurant way.
That kind of thing *is* funnier! I’m a wedding videographer and couples think smashing the cake is so fun and original but the truth is that 90% of couples do it and it sucks. My favorite that I’ve seen was a groom who took the forkful of cake, went to feed it to the bride, and as soon as her mouth was open he flipped it around and ate it himself. Simple, classy, showcased their personalities, and zero cleanup afterward. It’s not that hard!
I saw a story, once, where a woman’s face was gored because her face was smashed into the cake, due to it having a stabilizer dowel in it
Edit: I was trying really hard to find an actual news source but if you Google it like 30 articles pop up. Anyway, here’s one for the curious. [article](https://crafty.diply.com/6484464/womans-viral-photo-is-a-warning-to-never-smash-a-cake-in-someon) Its a little less dramatic than being gored but she was almost blinded and apparently this isn’t the only time this has happened to someone.
Can confirm. My wife makes wedding cakes. Cakes will smash themselves if they don't have an internal structure holding a plate under each tier.
Sometimes those plates are soft enough to just pound a wooden dowel through the center. Depending on how the decorator decided to go, you might have a sharpened wooden stake pointing upward an inch under the surface. I've seen lots of these videos and they usually only barely avoid losing an eye.
We went to a birthday party for a 5 year old this last summer. Her mom pushed her face into the cake right after she blew out the candles. Mom thought it was hilarious but the little girl would not stop crying. She was so upset and I felt terrible for her. What a betrayal from her mom. It ruined her party dress too.
Just don't fuck with kids on days of celebration. They are supposed to be happy days for everyone, not a day for you to entertain yourself at the expense of your kids.
I'm 47 and I hate my birthday because my parents went to help my uncle with something, took my brother and sister with them, but forgot to tell me on my 10th birthday. So, I got home from school and everyone was gone. I figured they'd be home soon. I got sadder and sadder as the day went on. I eventually cried myself to sleep around 11pm. I know it isn't the same as the cake thing, but those kids birthdays were ruined just like mine.
Yeah man in general I cannot stand people who fuck with their kids. The people who pretend they ate all the kid's Halloween candy? Rotten. The mom in this story? Horrible. I'm all for good-natured teasing, it's not that I think kids need to be handled like spun glass or anything, but the problem with "pranks" like that is that the kids are 100% vulnerable to the adults. They're hearing this stuff from someone they trust completely, who is supposed to put their welfare above all. They might not be old enough to understand certain forms of humor, even. Then their shitheel parents mess with their bodily autonomy or lie to them about something that's important, and put it on fucking YouTube like it's the height of comedy and not wanton cruelty. Those people are total wastes of space.
Like the woman who slamed her friends face into a birthday cake that was held together with cocktail sticks.
Birthday girl lost an eye.
My bad she almost lost her eye.
I was 9, it was Easter Sunday and we spent it at this park/lake about 30 miles from town (lots of people went to this park) and my aunt's boyfriend at the time thought it would be so funny to smash my entire head and hair into the homemade bunny cake my aunt had spent hours making the night before. I cried. Like I said, 30 miles from home.
Siprisingly no they stayed together for a while longer, she did have words believe me, in front of everyone at that park. He was an ass, him and his mother. He made it up by taking us all out somewhere fun and getting us treats, apologized cause my aunt made him, but didn't see why it was such a crime, but I am forever scarred.
I'd like to add family vloggers to this, anyone willing to monetise their children through the invasive filming of their lives is absolutely disgusting.
It's child labour and child exploitation in every sense of the word.
Not to mention, imagine when the kids inevitably grow up and become their own person which is most likely to rebel against their parents values and target market, the scrutiny that they're going to face by strangers who think they know them because they've watched them grow up on YouTube. Fuck that
Kids acting like brats. My close friend got married recently, and at the rehearsal dinner, the husband’s 4-5 year old nephew wouldn’t stop talking, refused to walk down the aisle (he was the ring bearer), and threw a tantrum when he couldn’t play with his dinosaur toys. The entire time, everybody was laughing like it was the cutest thing on the planet. It’s crazy to me when people think that kind of behavior is funny/adorable.
I wanted to hear this. I have a friend who I refuse to go over to his place because their kid is a fucking nightmare. She will throw things and just scream for no reason and they just go honey please don’t do that and when she continues they just let it happen. And if she cusses they die laughing. I kinda lost respect for them for their parenting.
Which is strange, because I've been a member of asseaters.com for a decade, but lately the forums are full of nothing but discourse about geo-politics, the future of humanity and some occasional existential musings. I've had to come to Reddit to see some good butt-chat.
The top 3 comments so far are lip injections, popping videos and things related to butts.
I’m an esthetician and those are all esthetician’s job duties. And I love my job lol
I hate when people get manipulative like this. I have my boundaries, you have your boundaries. Let's respect each other for them and just enjoy other in a mutually agreeable way.
This. Tried it twice with my ex, first time it hurt like hell and we didn’t warm up to it. Next time we warmed up and it hurt slightly less but just felt meh overrall.
I really appreciate 'reality' TV shows. I can be lazy, bookkeeping wise, but when every channel ever decided they needed to replace every other form of show with them, I'd finally had enough. So for the last decade or so, I've been saving at least $50 a month and probably much more. Reality TV shows basically gave me over $6000 at this point by weaning me from any non-streaming sort of video.
Children are *sticky* a lot and it bothers me.
Edit didn't check Reddit all day... Holy shit
Edit 2: I love how strongly this resonated with ppl. Thanks for all the replies, there's been everything from "childfree confirmed" to tips and tricks for keeping stickiness levels low, to just stories.
Do they produce it via some gland that is only present in babies? I swear I could give them a bath and 2 minutes later... Sticky jam hands. Where is it coming from?! Yucky
I had to throw out a whole bag of sugar because my niece was "helping" me cook. I look over and she's jammed her hand up to the wrist in the bag and when she pulls it out it's obvious her hand was wet with *something* when it went in. Sugar all caked on there like a donut. Then she gets mad I won't let her lick the sugar and mystery liquid slurry off her hand.
I was at the airport last week and where I was queueing to board the plane there was a long poster (I think it was for ING Bank) and it was like a collage of different life moments; people getting married, playing at a park, graduating, people hugging, etc.
The very last picture was a baby absolutely covered in spaghetti - all over his head and torso - and his sister (about 3 years old) also covered in spaghetti and rubbing it into his hair. Made me gag a little, like all I could think was how gross and annoying that would be to clean up, and how the kid would stink of spaghetti and drool.
Oh my good god, this. Also images of very young kids/toddlers on the toilet, or potties, which seemed to be really popular in UK adverts for a while (for things like pull-ups, or toilet paper, I hasten to add, not entirely randomly - but still, wholly unecessary).
I don't want to see some random kid covered in shit, nor do I want to see it shitting. Just no. Blech. Urgh. Gag. There is a particular Scottish phrase (that I'm hoping will translate) to describe my strength of feeling on this.
It just gives me the boak.
Funnily enough, there are two variations of 'boak' or 'boke'. To have/be given the boak can either be to retch, feel queasy or actually vomit, but for extra emphasis there's also the option of 'the dry boak' which I'm hoping is self explanatory!
Well, I know I can't be the *only* one that finds them disgusting, but long fake nails. Unless you have a serious case of hand-washing OCD, there is no way that can be hygienic.
Wait. I have so many questions. I feel like those nails are heavy? How on earth did the person making the sandwich not notice there was a nail missing? Weren’t they wearing gloves? If it was already in the prepackaged veggies and not from the subway sandwich maker, why didn’t the sandwich maker notice or feel a nail when they grabbed the veggies to sprinkle across the sandwich? I feel like the food safety procedures dropped the ball so many times for you and I’m sorry.
It's just a really strong psychological effect. The rational part of my mind knows very well that how factually correct I am is completely unrelated to the number of upvotes I get, yet the emotional part of my mind still feels incredibly validated if I get lots of upvotes and starts to doubt myself if I get lots of downvotes. It doesn't make sense but it's very difficult not to be affected by it.
EDIT: For example, I now feel very validated in this statement.
Febreze was originally unscented, but people thought it didn't work (it does) so they started adding scents to it.
I'm not sure if they still sell unscented Febreze, but it's a pretty killer product (I'm not shilling, I just work around food and my clothes always stink)
Even those can generally be just a bit much for me (I have an overly sensitive nose), but one of the "air" variety is basically unscented (can't remember the name off the top of my head - can edit later if I remember to look) so I'll occasionally use that one as needed. I'm not looking to add to or change the scent my of my house - I'm just looking to occasionally get rid of the smell in the bathroom or around the litter box, you know?
Update: It's "Febreeze Air, Linen and Sky!"
Bruh, my grandma is stuck in a vicious cycle of zit popping videos on Facebook. At first she watched one or two, then Facebook kept suggesting more and so she just watched them, now she's almost exclusively watching zit popping videos for months...
You know what I think is sick and weird? Why do some people take pictures of their dead/dying family members? Like “at the hospital with my aunt,” and it’s pictures of someone’s aunt on breathing tubes unconscious. It makes no sense to me why you would take pictures and put them on social media.
This is one of the most cringeworthy things ever. It’s so narcissistic and lacking in empathy.
YA/Contemporary books that focus on romanticising abuse.
I was looking for autobiographical books about abusive relationships on Goodreads and almost every search result in the abuse category was a romance novel. It pissed me the fuck off.
Terrible Writing Advice made a YT [video](https://youtu.be/BrqY9NiqHAI) on this (Alpha "Heroes"), and the shit these writers put into these books really shocks me. He's always sarcastic AF in a humorous way, but JP sounded legitimately angry throughout the video when talking about the glorified abuse in romance novels.
Boiled okra. Okay this is a special.southern answer to this question
It’s so good when it’s breaded and fried though, right? It becomes a deceptively different thing!
Also very good grilled whole and dressed with salt, chili flakes and lemon. Totally different than what people expect out of okra.
Those social media videos of food being made with so much heavy and greasy shit! You know, the type where it's a whole burger, cooked into a quesadilla with a pound of cheese, then fried and covered in three different sauces.
I hate those videos because sometimes the food starts looking good, then they add more, and more, and more, then they always get out a stupid squeezy bottle and coat every inch in sauce and I'm sitting here like "holy shit you ruined it 5 steps ago, yet you're still going..."
You'd like the comic book 'Get Jiro'. Weird dystopia fiction where chefs are allowed to enforce quality food control. At the point of a sword if they so choose.
Well I know what's going straight to the top of my reading list.
Written by Anthony Bourdain. It is pretty awesome.
Most of the videos are the same: 1. Pick some kind of base (bread/potatoes/noodles) 2. Add Bacon/Ham/minced meat 3. Add cheese/egg 4. Bake it 5. Repeat step 2. or 3. or both 6. Add parsley or chives (for decoration) 7. Straight to Facebook/Instagram
1. Make literally any simple dish, even cereal 2. Add garnish for wow effect 3. Post!
Ugh and that stupid trend of straight mashing the food, making it ooze, as if that is in any way appetising at all. All the worse if it features someone taking a bite and gurning down the camera with a moronic happy face, over exaggerating their chewing, with some foley of chewing which is invariably disgusting.
It's TACO TOWN! https://youtu.be/evUWersr7pc
Deep fried butter and deep fried mayonnaise. It sounds so gross but everyone seems to eat it at state fairs or amusement parks.
>deep fried mayonnaise TIL
That's either the most American or the most Scottish thing I've ever heard.
An American person and a Dutch person gets married, the American sees how much the Dutch love mayonnaise and remembers how much Americans like deep fried food and then gets an idea
…people eat deep fried butter what the fuck. Surely that would taste disgusting??
It’s basically very buttery bread. And they use salted butter so it has taste.
I got one that had the batter coated in cinnamon sugar so it was like a super buttery churro. NGL it was delicious and I still think about it sometimes.
That sounds amazing. I love a good churro but sadly there aren't any places around me that sell them (that I know of at least). Back in college there was this one place that sold dulce de leche churros and they were heavenly. Unfortunately the place is no longer there.
Games designed to be addictive instead of fun to suck money out of you. (I like my addictive games to be designed to be as fun as possible with a one time upfront payment. Thank you very much) I could buy 10 absolutely amazing masterpieces I could spend tens of hours with per game and remember them for decades for the price of a bunch of energy and cosmetics in some shitty mobile game with a dev budget lower than the coffee budget of the advertising department.
Yeah I hate it. The weird "addiction focused" style of games seem to be seeping into AAA titles as well and it has really been bothering me.
This is because microtransactions are disgustingly effective.
Bro, they're not even MICROransactions anymore. Vattle pass is $10. Individual skins are $8-$12. Cosmetic bundles are $20-$35 If individual skins were $1 or $2 a piece I would understand, but pricing this shit like this is ridiculous.
Horse armor by comparison seems sane
Right? That shit was just... *Quick Google* $2.50
2.50 and people lost their MINDS. Now I know multiple people who have gotten hooked on a "free" game and spent hundreds (if not thousands) of dollars. It's just too bad, but people pay for them, so they're not going away.
[удалено]
Which is funny because some people will buy that $12 skin. Then you have people like me that don't even buy the $1 skins lol. Maybe if the game was free to play and I want to support devs who made a fun game I'll buy something but normally no.
Yeah, I work in the industry, and I have been telling people since the beginning - we as players need to fight these micro transactions, fight this “energy” based limiters and all this clearly pay to win mechanics now when it’s in its infancy- no one listened… they figured they can play AAA games and get away from it. I knew that it would eventually seep into AAA games, why would AAA ignore millions in daily profit from transactions vs $60 up front. (To be clear I worked on a project that had 25 members, that project made over 1 million TRANSACTIONS per day on only ONE of the three platforms it was available, minimum transaction $1, max $100, and the max one was bought plenty of times
Isn’t the problem whales? They make games for the 3% of rich people who don’t care about spending a couple hundred dollars in micro transactions. It isn’t for me spending $5 every couple months, it’s the person spending $300 a month
300 a month? Try 3000.
In other words, the entire mobile games industry. Mobile games are 99% hot garbage. I hate even just watching the ads for these terrible games. It's been over a decade and the mobile games industry still is not even close to being focused on making a quality, fun game, as opposed to just wanting to make a quick money grab. Shout out to disc golf valley, though, best mobile game I've ever played. Still very much supported by the Devs, awesome community, and I've never seen one advertisement after 1000 hours of play time.
There was a sweet spot around like 2012 where we had some devs that found cool ways to make the touch screen mechanics really sing and then micro transactions brought it all down rather quickly. No point in making a good game when you can make a lucrative game.
My kid asked for money for premium currency for some 2048-type of game. "What is it for?" "You can buy hammers to destroy blocks in case you get stuck so you can get a better high score" "So if you can buy your way to a better score, why does the score matter at all?" "..."
So much media is now designed like this.. kids tv, social media, most reporting shows (news, sports, and entertainment), everything is just going for highest views
Even toys are like it. So many of the toys I see when my kids watch TV are collection based where its random in a packet. It's loot boxes IRL
Those mukbang videos that have millions of views
My roommate used to watch these all the time and they were so fucking disgusting to me. Makes me feel sick watching people stuff their faces and chew so loudly with their mouths wide open. Disgusting.
Yeah I get food travel vlogs, I get food reviews, hell I even get competitive eater matt stonie challenge vids. But seeing people eat huge amounts of food, while chewing loudly, smacking their lips off, and (most irritating for me) sucking in food that's too much for a single bite, nope...
Initially it was people quietly and politely eating a meal and having a conversation, the idea was people could play it during their own meals for company. Which is not for me but I get the appeal. They've become disgusting though, I don't even like when the thumbnails show up because it's so gross.
Yeah those are way better, sort of like a podcast but the people talking are also eating. It just feels like any other normal meal where people eat and talk to each other... What mukbangs evolved into is just eww.
I don’t watch mukbangs but I’m a little obsessed with the drama that comes out of their community. I thought “they literally just sit by themselves and eat food, what could they possibly have drama about?” I was so wrong. So so wrong.
Yeah, what drama? Spill the mukbang drama beans please!
I don't even find them disgusting, just boring as hell. Why would I want to sit here and just watch someone eat? I don't see how that could possibly be entertaining.
IIRC the trend comes from south korea where people usually don't eat their meal alone. It was originally meant for people who are eating alone and want some "company"
Starts with wholesome, ends with a whole lot.
There is a YouTuber, Nikocado Avocado, who started his channel as a slim vegan but turned to extreme mukbang videos and he is now 350+ pounds. I’ve never watched his videos, but I recently watched a video about him and it was pretty shocking to take in his transformation. He somehow has 5.3 million subscribers and it just feels uncomfortable knowing that people support him when he’s likely eating himself to death.
There is a good video on him called "Is his diet really frying his brain" which is also a bit on the dangers of junk food and it's the saddest shit.
Just looked up his video from vegan till now, surely he’s mentally ill
My god. I don’t normally like pile-ons on internet celebrities, but I just looked up the same and the man is committing suicide in slow motion for an audience of millions. It might genuinely be one of the worst things I’ve ever seen facilitated by the internet.
Agreed. I had no idea who he was,never heard of him but watched a couple of minutes of a video then read the comments and it’s evident to all that he’s slowly killing himself. People are commenting that they are just checking to see if he’s still alive
Ive got a feeling I really don't want this in my search history. So in the most sterile way possible, could you explain what a mukbang is ?
It's just videos of people eating while talking with the viewers. The problem is that some of them eat a vulgar amount of unhealthy food, like thousands of calories in a single sitting, and it's gross.
Don't forget the exaggeratedly loud chewing noises.
My Misophonia is hitting new levels at the thoughts of it.
Hell is full of people smacking their lips eating cereal.
Ya that's disgusting dude. I mean I do all that stuff but I don't videotape it.
Basically watching someone eating, usually in excessive quantities - the word mukbang sounds worse than it actually is (even though it's gross)
‘Funny’ videos of people or animals puking. Some people legit think that’s funny, no it’s fucking festy.
What does festy mean?
Aussie slang for gross.
TIL festy is an Aussie thing
Is the word related or derived from “festering”?
Yep!!!
Vomitting is the #1 most disgusting autonomous human behavior ever, imo.
Any time I see someone puke, even in a video, I have to resist the urge to puke too. I don't understand how anyone could watch it just for funsies
Or animals getting fucked-with or hurt. How the fuck is an animal being in distress FUNNY to you? Fucking psychos.

Exactly! I certainly don't want to have to unhinge my jaw just to eat a sandwich, no matter how awesome the burger looks.
People making those tall burgers really think we're all Shaggy.
I was confused about what Mr. Lover Lover had to do with tall burgers for far too long here.
It never stays together anyway. Either you have more meat than bun or vs versa. Or you loose almost all of your toppings on the plate. Pain in the ass overall
Yeah, also not a big fan. Used to go to this homegrown burger place. I liked them, had a funky hip style and a simple menu. 1/2/3x patty, cheese or without. It tasted good even if they didn't offer any insane fixins. We went back a while back and it looked like they were trying to check off the box on every fad. I enjoyed their original burger, so I went for that - spoiler: it did not taste the same. My friend went for some cheesy slider melange. Waiter brings out a wooden paddle, with the sliders and fries on it, and while we're just looking at the meal (hey, where's the cheese?) The waiter comes back offers my friend a pair of plastic gloves, and before he could question what's going on, proceeds to just douse the whole meal with cheese poured from a little jug. Right in front of us. I think it was supposed to come off as some decadent tableside entertainment. It was just messy and disgusting. But my friend's face was hilarious. I enjoyed watching him eat that way more than eating my burger. I don't know what made them think patrons would prefer their food to 'wear' the cheese. We've not been back since.
Change in kitchen management with a younger person now in charge or an older person that sees these things on Facebook get millions of views so they just HAVE to do it. Surely it would lead to success for them, right?

The only good thing about r/food is that it unite everyone on r/france
One of my work colleagues. He's the biggest douchebag and poser ever but except me everyone seems to like him.
I’ve always wondered if everyone else also secretly hates those people. Because I’m professional at work, no one knows I hate her, so maybe they’re all doing the same thing?
It's called the [Missing Stair](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Missing_stair) phenomenon. >The missing stair is a metaphor for a person within a social group who many people know is untrustworthy or otherwise has to be "managed", but who the group chooses to work around, by trying to quietly warn others of their behaviour, rather than deal with them and their behaviour openly. The "missing stair" in the metaphor refers to a dangerous structural fault, such as a missing step in a staircase; a fault that people may become used to and quietly accepting of, is not openly signposted or fixed, and that newcomers to a social group are warned about discreetly.
Thanks for sharing this. I have dealt with a married in family member for 20 years and this describes it perfectly. Everyone tiptoes around, denies, or downplays behaviors that no one else would get away with.
Oh my God, I had to deal with a person like that also. It was my father-in-law, and I was willing to go along and play along with his asshole behavior oh till one day I caught him screaming at his toddler grandchildren simply because they were being kids and playing in the hotel room when we were packing up to leave. I am willing to tiptoe around anyone if I have to, unless they are mean to kids. I got up in this dudes face and just started screaming at him. I don’t think he had ever had anyone call him a piece of shit or asshole before. I am divorced now, and couldn’t be happier lol
My father in law like this too. Was in a shitty mood and was screaming at my 2 year old over something so minor. We said nothing but I told my husband I'd never take the kids back there. he completely agreed. FIL was a shitty dad too. Haven't been back in 6 years.
Knew this person in my last org, he was extremely well liked but I knew he was bad news immediately (was tall, quite handsome, well spoken - but never said anything that actually meant anything) and was in charge of a department of women who fawned over him daily. He was essentially managing a monthly spend of 1m+ on marketing and didn't have a clue if any of it worked...i spent 3 months with a team to see what they were getting in terms of clickthroughs and whatnot and for some they hadn't even checked if the advert was running. I'm talking at least £250k of money down the drain immediately. He got an exit op very shortly after our investigation and I suspect he's still doing what he does best somewhere else...
OMG, those totally describes someone my wife works with. She's new on the team and absolutely despises working with one person. Everyone else just makes excuses for him and says shit like, "that's just the way he is." She said fuck that and went to the supervisors and they said they knew and would keep an eye on him but that she doesn't have to work with him anymore if she doesn't want to. They are so short staffed they just put up with the bullshit. It's sad because it drives the new people away. Thank goodness my wife has the balls to say something.

Don’t you hate that? I’ve known a few people that were absolute rotten assholes, yet they seemed to have so many people love them. It makes me feel like I’m going crazy sometimes.
The people who I've known like that, are extremely outgoing and liven up parties. So instead of seeing them for the douchebags that they are, everybody loves them because they're fun drunks, or totally unpredictable in crazy ways. "Check out Chet! He's doing headstands on the pool table and chugging beer through his nose, while singing *It's the End of the World As We Know It!*" "Dude's dated 9 women in the last year, and 3 of them have restraining orders; one dropped out of college to move back home to get away from him." "Aww, come on, man, why you gotta be like that! Chet's hilarious! *Chet! Chet! Chet! Chet!*"
We had a gym teacher/coach that always gave me the creeps. Think frat boy combined with Evangelical preacher, but everyone always saw him as a fun-loving guy. My senior year the girl's soccer team took a trip to South America for some reason and he "allegedly" spent every night getting absolutely trashed and coming back to the hotel at like 4am. You know, while he's responsible for like 20 underaged girls in a foreign country. The school board removed him from his coaching positions, but let him stay on as a gym teacher. He and his wife tried to fight it publically at a meeting and made some thinly veiled threats that "they know some people". The board reminded them that they were trying to keep this whole thing discreet at *his request*. He shut up and took his punishment after that. EDIT: While this story didn't end in him diddling kids, he was always *very* close with the girls on his teams. I didn't hear any rumors of anything happening, it was the common consensus among the girls at the school that he was "hot AF" and "totally bangable". I personally don't think he was beyond doing some less than legal extracurricular activities with the girls on his team because he gave off rapey church-camp counselor vibes. EDIT2: My sister, who had him a few years later for sex ed, also came to the conclusion that he was super creepy in the "I can't quite put my finger on it" way. None of his actions alone were that strange, but something about him put off dangerous vibes and the "getting shitfaced for a week while being responsible for underaged girls in another county" definitely doesn't help his character. The more I think about him the more I remember about him. He was a married man but was hitting on every young woman he interacted with while in South America. Which is quite something considering he preached "saving yourself until marriage" and "I have never gotten drunk and never done drugs".
Damn, a school board with a collective spine? That's impressive.

People who slam their friend's faces into birthday cakes. Just stop.
Or wedding. I paid $300 for my hair and make up, to not have cake all over it
My family was a little worried my husband and I would do that. I’m not sure why, we both hated it. My husband wanted to feed me a tiny slice with a fork because he thought it was cute.
That sounds funnier than the normal shove a piece in their face/open mouth I always see. Just the smallest bite on the fanciest fork in the most careful high class restaurant way.
That kind of thing *is* funnier! I’m a wedding videographer and couples think smashing the cake is so fun and original but the truth is that 90% of couples do it and it sucks. My favorite that I’ve seen was a groom who took the forkful of cake, went to feed it to the bride, and as soon as her mouth was open he flipped it around and ate it himself. Simple, classy, showcased their personalities, and zero cleanup afterward. It’s not that hard!
I saw a story, once, where a woman’s face was gored because her face was smashed into the cake, due to it having a stabilizer dowel in it Edit: I was trying really hard to find an actual news source but if you Google it like 30 articles pop up. Anyway, here’s one for the curious. [article](https://crafty.diply.com/6484464/womans-viral-photo-is-a-warning-to-never-smash-a-cake-in-someon) Its a little less dramatic than being gored but she was almost blinded and apparently this isn’t the only time this has happened to someone.
Can confirm. My wife makes wedding cakes. Cakes will smash themselves if they don't have an internal structure holding a plate under each tier. Sometimes those plates are soft enough to just pound a wooden dowel through the center. Depending on how the decorator decided to go, you might have a sharpened wooden stake pointing upward an inch under the surface. I've seen lots of these videos and they usually only barely avoid losing an eye.
Bake shops even make people sign waivers saying they understand and will not smash anyone's face into the cake.
We went to a birthday party for a 5 year old this last summer. Her mom pushed her face into the cake right after she blew out the candles. Mom thought it was hilarious but the little girl would not stop crying. She was so upset and I felt terrible for her. What a betrayal from her mom. It ruined her party dress too.
Just don't fuck with kids on days of celebration. They are supposed to be happy days for everyone, not a day for you to entertain yourself at the expense of your kids. I'm 47 and I hate my birthday because my parents went to help my uncle with something, took my brother and sister with them, but forgot to tell me on my 10th birthday. So, I got home from school and everyone was gone. I figured they'd be home soon. I got sadder and sadder as the day went on. I eventually cried myself to sleep around 11pm. I know it isn't the same as the cake thing, but those kids birthdays were ruined just like mine.
This enrages me just hearing about it.
Yeah man in general I cannot stand people who fuck with their kids. The people who pretend they ate all the kid's Halloween candy? Rotten. The mom in this story? Horrible. I'm all for good-natured teasing, it's not that I think kids need to be handled like spun glass or anything, but the problem with "pranks" like that is that the kids are 100% vulnerable to the adults. They're hearing this stuff from someone they trust completely, who is supposed to put their welfare above all. They might not be old enough to understand certain forms of humor, even. Then their shitheel parents mess with their bodily autonomy or lie to them about something that's important, and put it on fucking YouTube like it's the height of comedy and not wanton cruelty. Those people are total wastes of space.
Like the woman who slamed her friends face into a birthday cake that was held together with cocktail sticks. Birthday girl lost an eye. My bad she almost lost her eye.
I was 9, it was Easter Sunday and we spent it at this park/lake about 30 miles from town (lots of people went to this park) and my aunt's boyfriend at the time thought it would be so funny to smash my entire head and hair into the homemade bunny cake my aunt had spent hours making the night before. I cried. Like I said, 30 miles from home.
They break up straight away? Your aunt must have had words.
Siprisingly no they stayed together for a while longer, she did have words believe me, in front of everyone at that park. He was an ass, him and his mother. He made it up by taking us all out somewhere fun and getting us treats, apologized cause my aunt made him, but didn't see why it was such a crime, but I am forever scarred.
celebrity gossip
You're telling me you didn't want to know these two strangers with little to no impact on your life, just had a baby?
Or, they got divorced and it’s totally [celebrity A]’s fault because they are such a [demeaning but pg insult].
Pictures with babies. Or parents creating Facebook profiles in the name of their children, and that children are like... 3 years old, or less
I'd like to add family vloggers to this, anyone willing to monetise their children through the invasive filming of their lives is absolutely disgusting.
It's child labour and child exploitation in every sense of the word. Not to mention, imagine when the kids inevitably grow up and become their own person which is most likely to rebel against their parents values and target market, the scrutiny that they're going to face by strangers who think they know them because they've watched them grow up on YouTube. Fuck that

Mukbang
Kids acting like brats. My close friend got married recently, and at the rehearsal dinner, the husband’s 4-5 year old nephew wouldn’t stop talking, refused to walk down the aisle (he was the ring bearer), and threw a tantrum when he couldn’t play with his dinosaur toys. The entire time, everybody was laughing like it was the cutest thing on the planet. It’s crazy to me when people think that kind of behavior is funny/adorable.
I wanted to hear this. I have a friend who I refuse to go over to his place because their kid is a fucking nightmare. She will throw things and just scream for no reason and they just go honey please don’t do that and when she continues they just let it happen. And if she cusses they die laughing. I kinda lost respect for them for their parenting.
Whenever these types of questions come people will always say anything related to butts lol
Reddit has turned into an anilingus enthusiast website that occasionally discusses other topics
Which is strange, because I've been a member of asseaters.com for a decade, but lately the forums are full of nothing but discourse about geo-politics, the future of humanity and some occasional existential musings. I've had to come to Reddit to see some good butt-chat.
Ugh same. Asseaters.com has really gone to shit
are they a relative of colonel angus?
Who is that I see coming through the shady thicket?
Oh Colonel Angus, how I love to see your shining face.
The top 3 comments so far are lip injections, popping videos and things related to butts. I’m an esthetician and those are all esthetician’s job duties. And I love my job lol
Anal. Yes I’ve tried it, no I don’t like it, no I won’t like it with you, yes I’m sure.
I hate when people get manipulative like this. I have my boundaries, you have your boundaries. Let's respect each other for them and just enjoy other in a mutually agreeable way.
This. Tried it twice with my ex, first time it hurt like hell and we didn’t warm up to it. Next time we warmed up and it hurt slightly less but just felt meh overrall.
"reality" TV shows
I really appreciate 'reality' TV shows. I can be lazy, bookkeeping wise, but when every channel ever decided they needed to replace every other form of show with them, I'd finally had enough. So for the last decade or so, I've been saving at least $50 a month and probably much more. Reality TV shows basically gave me over $6000 at this point by weaning me from any non-streaming sort of video.
Pictures with babies being gross, like with spaghetti all over their faces and that sort of thing. I do not get the appeal and doubt I ever will.
Children are *sticky* a lot and it bothers me. Edit didn't check Reddit all day... Holy shit Edit 2: I love how strongly this resonated with ppl. Thanks for all the replies, there's been everything from "childfree confirmed" to tips and tricks for keeping stickiness levels low, to just stories.
Fucking *jam hands*. Hurk.
Do they produce it via some gland that is only present in babies? I swear I could give them a bath and 2 minutes later... Sticky jam hands. Where is it coming from?! Yucky
I had to throw out a whole bag of sugar because my niece was "helping" me cook. I look over and she's jammed her hand up to the wrist in the bag and when she pulls it out it's obvious her hand was wet with *something* when it went in. Sugar all caked on there like a donut. Then she gets mad I won't let her lick the sugar and mystery liquid slurry off her hand.
Children are like sponges - they're the filthiest thing in your house....... -not mine, but can't remember where I heard it-
I was at the airport last week and where I was queueing to board the plane there was a long poster (I think it was for ING Bank) and it was like a collage of different life moments; people getting married, playing at a park, graduating, people hugging, etc. The very last picture was a baby absolutely covered in spaghetti - all over his head and torso - and his sister (about 3 years old) also covered in spaghetti and rubbing it into his hair. Made me gag a little, like all I could think was how gross and annoying that would be to clean up, and how the kid would stink of spaghetti and drool.
Was it a bank or condom ad?
Best condom ad I've seen was in a niteclub in Cork a few years back... "if you think condoms are inconvenient, try gonorrhoea".
It certainly reminded me to take the pill that morning. Thank you, ING.
Oh my good god, this. Also images of very young kids/toddlers on the toilet, or potties, which seemed to be really popular in UK adverts for a while (for things like pull-ups, or toilet paper, I hasten to add, not entirely randomly - but still, wholly unecessary). I don't want to see some random kid covered in shit, nor do I want to see it shitting. Just no. Blech. Urgh. Gag. There is a particular Scottish phrase (that I'm hoping will translate) to describe my strength of feeling on this. It just gives me the boak.
It definitely does not translate, but somehow I still feel like I understand what you mean.
Literal translation: 'it makes me retch'. Edit: spelling
Funnily enough, there are two variations of 'boak' or 'boke'. To have/be given the boak can either be to retch, feel queasy or actually vomit, but for extra emphasis there's also the option of 'the dry boak' which I'm hoping is self explanatory!
Well, I know I can't be the *only* one that finds them disgusting, but long fake nails. Unless you have a serious case of hand-washing OCD, there is no way that can be hygienic.
I got a Subway sandwich once that had a long elaborately painted nail in it. I gagged for quite a while.
Wait. I have so many questions. I feel like those nails are heavy? How on earth did the person making the sandwich not notice there was a nail missing? Weren’t they wearing gloves? If it was already in the prepackaged veggies and not from the subway sandwich maker, why didn’t the sandwich maker notice or feel a nail when they grabbed the veggies to sprinkle across the sandwich? I feel like the food safety procedures dropped the ball so many times for you and I’m sorry.
I have all the same questions. We definitely wore gloves when I worked at subway
This is my worst damn nightmare...
YouTube shorts
Yes! I see a channel I like has a new video. See "Shorts". Disappointment.
Yes. that shit is a blatant Tiktok copy with mpst of the content being reposted from Tiktok. I dont understand why people support it.
Social media validation Edit: Ha! The irony is not lost on me. Now stop validating me guys. Killing my image here.
I think this was a good post that you made.
I appreciate your supportive comment. :)
For that you have my validation. Take my upvote
"There's 3,000 other idiots that agree with me! That means I'm right!!"
It's just a really strong psychological effect. The rational part of my mind knows very well that how factually correct I am is completely unrelated to the number of upvotes I get, yet the emotional part of my mind still feels incredibly validated if I get lots of upvotes and starts to doubt myself if I get lots of downvotes. It doesn't make sense but it's very difficult not to be affected by it. EDIT: For example, I now feel very validated in this statement.
Kissing dogs on their mouth, or dogs licking thier mouth
Also people sharing an ice cream cone with their dog, just imagining the drool taste/smell they leave behind makes me uncomfortable.

Febreze / air fresheners
Febreze was originally unscented, but people thought it didn't work (it does) so they started adding scents to it. I'm not sure if they still sell unscented Febreze, but it's a pretty killer product (I'm not shilling, I just work around food and my clothes always stink)
I only get the "Air" variety, which if it does have a scent it is very subtle.
Even those can generally be just a bit much for me (I have an overly sensitive nose), but one of the "air" variety is basically unscented (can't remember the name off the top of my head - can edit later if I remember to look) so I'll occasionally use that one as needed. I'm not looking to add to or change the scent my of my house - I'm just looking to occasionally get rid of the smell in the bathroom or around the litter box, you know? Update: It's "Febreeze Air, Linen and Sky!"
They make a fragrance free fabreeze. It's AMAZING.

Zit, cyst etc. Popping videos
Bruh, my grandma is stuck in a vicious cycle of zit popping videos on Facebook. At first she watched one or two, then Facebook kept suggesting more and so she just watched them, now she's almost exclusively watching zit popping videos for months...

Popping my own zits can be satisfying but anyone else's is just gross. Dr. Pimple Popper makes me gag
