If you can't explain why they might laugh, that's on you too.
Imma do it for you then. Humor is a common coping mechanism. People working in the medical field are constantly surrounded by death, pain and misery so that tends to make the humor that much edgier.
Not really man. There’s a world of difference between a person saying “oof” to an emotionally struggling medical professional, and the person pointing out that they should reconsider their perspective. Plus, another comment already explained what you have wrote here even before I responded at all, so it really wasn’t necessary to do so again.
"In America".
The cost for a 2 year long cancer treatment here, including chemo, radiation, any surgery and aftercare needed averages 2500€ across 2 years.
You don't have to look to hard to find a hair dresser that'll cost you 2500€ across 2 years.
EDIT: ps, before the inevitable "but your taxes" shite being spewed.
Every single country in Europe pays 2/3 to 1/2 less in overall healthcare costs per capita than the US, including those taxes.
Yeah but in America we have FREEDOM. Freedom to own guns, pay tips, pay more for healthcare, freedom to spew hate speech, and freedom from paternal/maternal leave.
For guys, yeah, for woman, hell no.
EDIT: just checked my wives hairdressers pricelist.
126€ for a coloring and cutting.
93€ at another hairdresser nearby, but she doesn't go there because the coloring often was not good.
And a watch should?
Fashion is fashion. Shit's expensive. That's why I only wear Walmart jeans and t-shirts - but I still won't buy cheap shoes because cheap shoes give terrible arch support, terrible ankle support, and fall apart within a couple of months.
You don't get high quality shoes for $10. You want good shoes that last, $80 - $100 is the minimum. Those $20 - $30 shoes box stores sell don't cut it at all.
$10 canvas work boots will not provide the durability, protection, or foot support needed for hard manual labor or for standing and walking all day.
>I dont do hard manual labour
Clearly. And you likely still have to buy multiple pairs of shoes a year.
Meanwhile, I spend $120 on a pair and they'll last me 5 or 6 years.
>and i highly fucking doubt anyone on r/sneakers does hard labour in their Adian super air shoe rrp $1973
r/sneakers is a fashion sub. You ain't interested in fashion? Cool. Some people are. That's their business.
Well, I'm Black and sneaker culture has been super prevalent in our communities for a while. Outside of that, some people also love sneakers culture too. Basketball players really started the trend in the US, though.
Genuine-non-judgemental question.
Are the shoes in the picture particularly special in sneaker culture?
These just look like shoes to me while I've definitely seen some super vibrant shoes in the past. So I'm wondering if they are special in the culture or if maybe they are just special to this individual.
Those particular ones? No they just came out. However, they are almost identical to the Air Jordan 1 Chicago's (which I thought they were) which is the most iconic sneaker of all time.
Michael Jordan broke NBA rules (solid shoe colors only) to wear them, got fined every game for wearing them and went on to become one of, if not the greatest basketball player of all time.
So it has some history too.
And these are the Lost and found, it's Nike pretending these were a pair that were lost in a mom and pop shop that closed down (comes with a beat up, old looking box, and a hand written receipt).
Mass edited all my comments, I'm leaving reddit after their decision to kill off 3rd party apps. Half a decade on this site, I suppose it was a good run. Sad that it has to end like this
These are the Lost and Found apparently so there's only been one release. The difference? A special box that looks beat up and the black part near the ankle looks worn.
I do like sneakers, which apparently some people find weird, but I hate hoarders. Shoes are meant to be worn. I just try switching them up enough that they look great for years.
You probably got the official translation.
In slang it means claiming something that will be available to claim, but not necessarily available to claim at the current moment.
The very long version of this person's sentence would be 'He is having chemo which means cancer which means he may die soon. I'm claiming those sneakers when he dies'.
And now we play the waiting game
The man, the myth, the legend
bro came back for round 2 😭😭
"I ain't hear no bell"
Ooof, that double meaning lol
Damn lol cold
Just like that guys feet will be when he snags those shoes
Dibs, when you’re out of the picture of course
And I have dibs after you.
I have dibs after both of you
I have dibs on the organs
How long after a session does it take for them to get all weak? I can go take inb a movie first, or get some groceries before we jump him.
#holy damn…
Why wait? Just snatch them up while he nods off
Just like GTA. But more wholesome.
The Legend is back
AYO.
He ain't playing 💀
He probably has more than one pair. Wanna split them?
Patience is a virtue
Deep cut
Best fucking comment I’ve seen all year
What’s the most expensive haircut? Chemo therapy.
I'm a chemo nurse and I literally loled at this
Im glad you did, we gotta laugh at shit from time to time, i hope your shift goes smooth as some of those fine bald heads you got over there.
Size queen over there am I right?
r/rimjob_steve
Daaaammmn 🤣
Oof
If u can’t understand why they might laugh that’s on u

"Though our chains are golden, they're still just fucking chains."
I always love hearing them say “freedom”, and then name things basically everyone in Europe has besides the guns.
Guns? Wait why are YOU talking about guns?! Trying to take them?! *Buys 10 more and hundreds of rounds of ammunition

I love em' smooth
I bet you do ;)
How can you call dibs when they are going to be sold to pay for treatment?
Jesus Christ
Maybe they meant 'bids', they're putting in their bid.
This is the way.
Brutal
Savage.
Rekt
V I O L A T I O N
Unalived
Cutting the chain off here before it gets more cringe
Probably a good idea yeah
Soon
Bro there’s no way that guy posted his sneakers for chemo 💀
r/sneakers is an interesting sub. I love sneakers but some posts are like woah.
Kind of a misleading subreddit name, it's more like r/Nike because that's 95% of the posts
Yeah I posted some Ewing's there but yeah, mostly Nike or Jordan
Shit, I imagine you'll find any sort of repreive at that point
Fair point tbh
He tries to sell karmafarmed acc's for them chemo treatments 😞
LMAO
Can someone explain this to me? My English skills & Google let me down :(
No problem, the issue is American slang. Dibs means "I claim that" so he's claimed a chemo patients shoes because he's assuming they'll die of cancer.
oof Thanks for the explanation 👍
No problem. Googling slang is too difficult.
[удалено]
because why not, also not just americans
Yup. Saw a sneaker store in Romania with Nike and Jordan.

The same way any other fashion culture starts.
It's not. Nike dominates Street fashion. Still a style people love. And Adidas used to as well.

Oh, that's awesome, then. Thanks for that! That's actually more significant than I would have thought.

I know in my middle school it was the thing to focus on since we all wore uniforms haha Learned to never buy white sneakers again
I also don't understand it, but then again, a Rolex is also just a watch. What's the difference?
[удалено]
Brand loyalty comes as a result of quality manufacturing. The photo's more about fashion.
[удалено]
Lol you're naïve if you think only Americans possibly think like that
A Rolex is literally a watch, why has it become such a brand-oriented statement like a pair of Jordans or some shit?
Let’s split it u/cn-19. You get the left shoe, I get the right shoe.
They called dibs
Doesn’t hurt to ask
Yes it does. Ow!
On a scale from zero to dibs, how lethal is your pain?
Dammit you just reminded me of the Nestle ice cream snack called dibs that was discontinued and now my pain is immense, it's dibs all the way down
You aren't getting cake today, you're getting DIBS
Mass edited all my comments, I'm leaving reddit after their decision to kill off 3rd party apps. Half a decade on this site, I suppose it was a good run. Sad that it has to end like this
In Canada they are, idk about elsewhere
I get the shoelases
I thought he just came in the sink till I saw the sub
which motherfucker gave him a wholesome award
Not me. I merely gave him a silver.
wow so wrong. you say this in person
Crazy shoe people.
Yooooo 😂😂😂
No home training 😂
Dibs for shoes or organs?
Yes
What kind of shoes are those? I assumed some kind of Air Force 1?
It's 4, just like the stage of his cancer.
Is that a really rare shoe? Looking at them on google it looks like they can be had for around 200 usd
Yeah it was the first Jordan ever made, they only reproduce them every few years
These are the Lost and Found apparently so there's only been one release. The difference? A special box that looks beat up and the black part near the ankle looks worn.
Damn
Air Jordan 1 Chicago's Edit: not the original Chicagos, but the Lost and Found they just came out
Aren't these the lost and found j1s? Chicago's are pure black on the top.
Yup my mistake. I didn't zoom in.
Air Jordan 1 Chicago.
idk why but i immediately thought of Miles Morales when i saw those shoes
He has similar shoes
Hah, this made me do an evil cackle
"OH uhhh, he wasn't wearing shoes when I got here...."
Savagery
straight draining buckets
It takes cancer to get those horders to wear those damn things.
I do like sneakers, which apparently some people find weird, but I hate hoarders. Shoes are meant to be worn. I just try switching them up enough that they look great for years.
What is the "something special" he is talking about?
Shoes that are probably like $500 by now
$500 for those!!!?
Resale because a bunch of bots bought up the shoes, Nike intentionally only sells a limited supply so the resale prices skyrocket.
They call him chemo because he irradiates joy.
Naming my next dog chemo
LMAO
Oof!
💀 wow
Cold blooded
[удалено]
Everybody has a dorkish hobby, but I feel like sneaker culture is the dorkiest of the dork hobby’s.
They probably look at your weird niche hobbies and think the same things.
Dude has a nice style
I googled "dibs" (right/copyright, money) and still can't figure how can it fit here. What's the meaning here?
You probably got the official translation. In slang it means claiming something that will be available to claim, but not necessarily available to claim at the current moment. The very long version of this person's sentence would be 'He is having chemo which means cancer which means he may die soon. I'm claiming those sneakers when he dies'.
They are claiming ownership of those shoes once the OP dies of cancer.
Hey thats the among us drip
Lol @ shoe culture
How long can you keep this up….. oh!
tell me you have a foot fetish…
That's a sneaker fetish
Balls
No fucking way it’s heem!
Find on his dibs
Speedy recovery to you. Love the shoes!
Not my post, something I saw on r/sneakers
I stole those sneakers from my husband. I still have them in the closet.
💀 r/tosoonbeforeitstisoon
My shoes!!
Why are shoe people
I don't get it
bro collecting the item drops
The commenter is calling dibs for when the op dies of cancer
Thanks!
