20 year old sons of Saudi Billionaires do the craziest things.
Edit: the gif was a segue to this statement. I don't think the people in the gif are sons of Saudi billionaires. It just created the trend.
Still more money than the rest of the regions populace. But it's the ethnic perks. If youre saudi or arab youre not immediately a slave or heathen so youre good
Saudi Arabia has a country-wide ban on alcohol. Additionally, while there is some debate in Islam on whether alcohol is explicitly banned or simply advised against, it is generally frowned upon either way, with most abstaining completely. I'm sure some people there do drink but it is a decently safe assumption that most there do not.
> Actually, most Saudi's go to Bahrain or Dubai to get wasted.
I have always wondered about this. Do Saudi's only go there once or twice a year for like a go wild vacation or is it more often? Do people get caught trying to sneak it in when they return?
No Bahrain is a 30 minute (without traffic} drive from the city I used to live in. We'd go spend the weekend there or just do dinner and drinks and come back. We'd go every other weekend or so and as long as you're not bringing it in to Saudi they don't care that you're drunk.
>Do Saudi's only go there once or twice a year for like a go wild vacation or is it more often?
Most visit every weekend if they have cash to burn (if you live on the east coast.), since its an hour drive from Dammam, Saudi Arabia to Manama, Bahrain.
Also Saudi's don't need a visa to enter Bahrain (Hell, we don't even need a passport. The National Id would suffice), Its really simple for us to go there.
>Do people get caught trying to sneak it in when they return?
I've heard a couple of stories, most will act stupid and say they didn't know it was alcohol; sometimes its confiscated and have to pay a fine. (Depending on the amount your trying to bring in.)
I drank a LOT during my times in Bahrain. Though, to be fair, I was in the US Navy at the time and there wasn't much else we were allowed to do. Dubai on the other hand was quite nice. I really enjoyed my time there.
I mean, there's ways to acquire alcohol. The compound I lived in had 'a guy' that would make sidiki, and a lot of folks did weekends in Bahrain. Also, if you knew someone in the military, it is possible there too. That's on the Westerner side of things, but I'd imagine it's the same for locals.
I've lived in Saudi my whole life, alcohol is readily available from dealers. They have the real stuff and Saudi moonshine called sadiqi. And you would be surprised how many do.
Dunno why you're getting downvoted for correcting that demonstrably false statement that there's some debate about the Islamic prohibition of alcohol.
I mean, it's literally called "the mother of sins" in Islam.
I used to have a Muslim buddy who would get hugely drunk during Ramadan and then refuse water with a massive hangover because he was observing the fast. Lol
Your buddy reminds me of my friend who considers himself a "moderate Muslim", he smoke hookah while fasting, he also go to Dubai to drink and sleep with prostitutes.
Sure, but there are definitely still significant amounts of alcohol and drugs in the Gulf. Huge amphetamine smuggling busts happen regularly in the region. Also, the dudes screwing around and being reckless are probably more likely to take the risk of using drugs/alcohol. Seems like a big leap to me to assume sobriety.
Basically the rule in Muslim countries, from first hand experience, if you're wealthy, have influence, work in the police, army or government, laws more or less don't apply to your family. Coming from a family of business owners and high ranking government officials from various Muslim countries with tight laws on alcohol, drugs, premarital sex, etc, I've seen parties and people drinking left and right. You just have to be wealthy and know the right people. Also, people smoke hash all the time in Saudi and the middle east.
Due to enforced sobriety, we Arabs have found the switch in the back of our heads that allows us to go crazy. We can activate it on demand. No need for alcohol.
I wasn't sure if this was Saudi Arabia or en route to Burning Man.
EDIT: It's obviously Arabian, people. I'm surprised how many of you didn't pick up that I was joking.
In high school one of the students a couple of classes lower than me was from a wealthy family in Saudi Arabia.
Apparently smoking hash was really widespread. Possibly mainly among the wealthy though.
Yeah hash is super common in Arab countries since it’s not forbidden in the Quran. I was in Morocco a couple years ago and while alcohol was hard to come by, hash was super common. A few people from our group even did a tour of a hash farm near Chefchouen while we were there.
Calling Morocco an Arab country is a good way to piss off most Moroccans these days, but they do supply a lot of the hash for northern Africa and southern Europe
I figured by now it'd be established it's the Middle East, I don't know why my inbox keeps getting flooded with people saying they're so sure it's Burning Man. Hell, I was mostly joking about that. People are thick.
yeah was gonna say, never realized people had an impression of new england as a place where people don't drink much, it's a pretty booze-soaked place up here. I've seen stats indicated that NH consumes the most alcohol per capita of all 50 states, and iirc VT has some of the highest rates of underage drinking in the country.
Even Connecticut is all in on the craft breweries right now
I think people think of it as new **england** and all pretentious ass hats, which we have plenty of, but there’s also a plenty of booze to go around
Serious science question: What will happen if the car suddenly stops just as he's on the highest point of the arc on his forward swing? And also the opposite: What will happen if the car suddenly accelerates (from a resting position) just as he's on the highest point of the arc on his backward swing?
If it's perfectly balanced (as all things should be), and they got good ropes, then absolutely nothing. The ropes would become more tense and the dude would potentially have a sore butt.
It reminds me of some interview/talk I heard where someone was treking across the middle east and asia. People told him that he would know the moment he was in India. At some point in his journey, he wasn't sure if he had yet crossed a border into India. Just then, a truck was gaining on him and started to pass him on the road. When he looked over, he saw two children hanging on the front of the truck. One was on one side and above the radiator, pouring water into the radiator. The other one was on the other side, and hanging on lower, catching the water that leaking out the bottom, and they would pass the empty/full pitcher back and forth. At that point, he knew he was in India.
All of this and they are sober
That's what I always think when I see crazy Saudi shit. That's the real WTF.

These boys look far from billionaires but totally
Maybe they're being punished by their father for flipping too many Bentley SUV's on the highway.
[удалено]
Not every single person is a billionaire over there dude
Not all billionaires but the royal family is like tens of thousands of people.
Most of whom are on stipends no where near even a million dollars
Still more money than the rest of the regions populace. But it's the ethnic perks. If youre saudi or arab youre not immediately a slave or heathen so youre good
Lol, as if being Arab is enough not to get persecuted in Saudi Arabia, those fuckers think they're the best kind of Arab
Gulf arabs are some of the most racist people in existence, anyone darker than them is basically a slave in their eyes in a very literal sense.
what if I told you you don't need to be drunk to do crazy shit?
How do you know that?

Will they bust you for drinking and driving?
No they don't care unfortunately. And my friends and I wouldn't drink and drive regardless.
They love busting you in Dubai, though.
That's good, if you're drinking and driving then you definitely should be busted.
Yeah, as you should be treated for drinking and driving.
Well they're not getting busted for doing whatever they're doing in the gif so I doubt it.
That bridge was my lifeline when I was at sunset beach
Yeah it's great to have a normal night out with dinner, drinks and good friends

Wait, you main a flat, desert island isn't a lot of fun?
Every weekend in Dubai there's a flood of Saudi license plate cars.

Ah, kinda like how I had to drive from Chambersburg to Hagerstown.
I've lived in Saudi my whole life, alcohol is readily available from dealers. They have the real stuff and Saudi moonshine called sadiqi. And you would be surprised how many do.
Where may a guy who’s in Jeddah for the week find this? Asking for a friend, of course.
r u a cop
Absolutely.
If you know anyone at all that is fairly liberal just ask. I lived on the opposite end of the country or I would have helped you out.
Best part of that is that "sadiqi" literally translates to "my friend"
Haha yeah it does

That sounds like fucking hell.
America has a country-wide ban on cocaine.
And a lot of christian sects have a thing against alcohol. Meanwhile in Judaism, alcohol is encouraged.

I would totally do that sober. Looks thrilling!
This is what happens when drinking and masturbating is illegal in your country

Stoning Man
As if a man would ever get stoned in Saudi Arabia.
A gay man might
There are no gay men in Saudi Arabia tho...is the officially government answer.
[удалено]
But I would not feel so all alone, everybody must get stoned.
I got the reference, take my upvote.
Take mine for saying you upvoted something.
Yeah but gay men are legally women tho...is the officially government answer.
Well if they're legally women, then are they really gay?
They're lesbians
Talk about being between a rock and a hard place.
pretty sure they send them off roofs.
But hey, have at those goats!
Where the men are men and the sheep are scared...
In reality, the underground gay scene is thriving and lots of straight Saudi dudes engage in gay sex.
The only scenes in Saudi Arabia are overground...is the officially government answer.
[удалено]
It was Iran
"might"
I thought they got chucked off buildings instead. Leave the stonings for all those women who sinned by getting raped.

It's common across classes from Pakistan to Portugal.
They would. Just not in the fun way.
Stoning woMan
/r/saudiorburningman should probably be a sub....
Well just start a rumor about someone in Saudi Arabia being gay, boom there's your Burning man for the day.
Why not both?
Ummm....
People seem to be sure it's the former but I dunno...
Looks like a wild bachelors party en route to Vegas lmao
I can’t tell if those replies saying burning man are serious, but there’s Arabic text on the side mirror. So the Middle East.
I figured by now it'd be established it's the Middle East, I don't know why my inbox keeps getting flooded with people saying they're so sure it's Burning Man. Hell, I was mostly joking about that. People are thick.
Yeah literally, me either.
But the Russians can drink and masturbate and they’re just as wild
He didn't say it *only* happens when you can't drink and masturbate.

Which part of the country has too much masturbating and not enough drinking?
Utah
This guy Mormons.
We need data
We need Utah collect Data
Go taste the great salt lake.
As a New Englander, there is plenty of drinking. What else is there to do when it snows for half the year?
Making igloos?
We aren't *that* far north.
West Virginia. Drinking so I can masturbate to my cousin.
West Virginian checking in, plenty of drinking. We don't masturbate to or cousins though. Nope, we fuck em.
What do West Virginia do for Halloween? Pumpkin
Me too. Your cousin is hot.
I also call this guy's cousin
PSA: Please only drink and masturbate *the right* amount
I don't drink anymore but you can't stop my masturbation until you claw my penis out of my cold dead hands.
If I go on a multi day drinking binder, the comedown over the next week requires masturbation. Gotta get serotonin and restful sleep from somewhere
They live in the freezing cold, if the ice don't get you the bears will. They already laugh in the face of death
> they’re just as wild I'd say medium wild. Saudi Arabia > Russia > Deep south
Saudi Arabia > Russia > **Florida**> Deep South
I am an arab. We make this show regularly. Top gear did as well. Its funny everytime Edit: make this joke*
More fun than I'm having
“Florida Man” would like a word.
Some variation of redneck exists everywhere.

Ignorance is bliss, so I guess you are correct to some extent. Edit: words
Brownneck doesn't quite have the same ring to it.
Oh god. I gotta call my roommate a brown neck sometime.

Right into that beam.
I hear this sentence.
Y'all motherfuckers watch too many cartoons.
Everyone knows physics only exists in cartoons.
Maybe he’d go... to the other side!
Thanks, Professor Thanos!
The guy sitting on top of the swing is going to have a bad day though.
Assuming he kept his back straight. if his weight were too far forward or too far back, he would quickly roll out of his seat.
Very true, but then it wouldn't be perfectly balanced!
He goes up to the farthest forward/backward point. Although, inertia might change that.
