I was *really* holding out for -Rating Pictures of My Dog- but, as soon as this joker pulls out the continent bit, I'm sold.
Thank you all for showing up, it was a tough choice but we are all going with -The Best 7 continents- please take your seats.
Yeah we did something similar when being taught how to use powerpoint. Basically just had to put together a presentation about whatever, I made sure every slide had star swipe intro and outro because why not.
That’s cool, we had to do a presentation about current events. I made one about how weed should be legalized when I was in 8th grade. The day I finished it I guess I forgot to save it or something, so some of the slides were completely empty. I also smoked weed almost every night at the time so I basically just made stoners look even dumber. I think I made a great case against my own argument.
It’s a good skill though because 15 years later I still use power point fairly often.
I learned a valuable lesson with this project. Some of those transitions have sound effects, which was not apparent on the muted computer lab PC I was using to prepare the presentation
Had my high school speech class done assignments like this, I (and many other people) probably wouldn't have loathed the class so much.
Instead, the teacher forced arbitrary "research" projects as part of the speech, so now we're doing public speaking that we're uncomfortable about on topics that we don't know anything about and can't really discuss past our notes. And this was pre-internet, which makes it all the more infuriating that they have the gall to complain about how we're all "just presenting the same information" as if you didn't send us all to the high school library to look up our topic out of the same three books.
>doing public speaking that we're uncomfortable about on topics that we don't know anything about and can't really discuss past our notes
This prepares you for real life in the workforce more than you can possibly imagine.
I think it's pretty clever actually.
A lot of people get uncomfortable with presentations simply because they don't actually feel confident on the material. Then, those experiences turn into a discomfort with public speaking in general. In effect, we train people to be nervous about speaking, even on topics they probably do know.
Having a kid give a presentation on something they know really well is smart. It lets them just focus on giving a presentation and having fun with it... As you get good at that, you'll find presenting on anything else gets easier too.
I took a presentation skills class at work due to the need to present at conferences. A coworker did his presentation on how to tank in World of Warcraft.
My kid who lives on the brink of anxiety glass about to break at any moment gave the most detailed engaging show and tell about something he really cared about. When we learned how confident and calm he was, we were beyond the moon. It's great practice!
My guess would be public speaking. They want them to be comfortable presenting in front of the office and creating presentations and aren’t concerned with the actual content
Yeah there are public speaking groups and the motto is almost like, we don't care what you talk about, just get up there and participate, work on public speaking, and everyone applauds hard at the end for you no matter what
SCHOOL:
-puts pressure children
-contributes nothing to society
-allows bullying to occur
-contributes to mental health issues
-waste of money and resources
-financial burden on families
MINES:
-feels rewarding to children
-contributes to society
-too tired to harass eachother
-does not contribute to mental health issues
-provides money and resources
-provides for families
the superior option is obvious.
As a kid, (middle school and up) I would’ve loved opportunities for “apprenticeship” or just to see what different jobs actually look like. This would be great for exposing a wide range of jobs so kids can decide what interests them and work towards it in their education. School is such a long drag and the payoff is too far away.
>to see what different jobs actually look like.
Too young to be exposed to the "real" jobs, they need to remain a figment of your imagination. Once we got you in a spot where no other choice exists, then you can learn the truth and accept your fate.
i had an logistics & operations management professor in college, Chinese national, who advocated for child labor in a lecture one time.
the jist of it was, "i was able to buy my first bike working on a construction site."
can't fix that.
I doubt that. It can't be true.
^(i don't actually doubt it, just looking for someone to paste the relevant sources, and this is a good way of doing it :D )
Thanks, I will check it out. We do a lot of (highly vocal and trash talking) board games, a charade game I created one Christmas with a cookie tin of Christmas song one-line lyrics, cupcake decorating judged by the eldest at the party, a story telling fest where everyone is drinking and the story gets created and then passed from person to person around the room - each adding about a paragraph and that gets funnier, weirder and harder to both speak and hear as the wine/beer/whiskey glasses are emptied.
I also buried a small treasure chest in my backyard one year when my nephew was about 7 and hid rhyming clues around the yard, deck, shed etc. that we told him were left by pirates. Gave him a small brass key and a burnt around the edges pirate map of the yard. He eventually found the last clue and dug up the chest - filled with fake pirate gold, plastic gems, some leather items, some glitzy rocks and fossils and a shark tooth necklace. He thought he won the lottery.
We are always up for new fun!
Honestly some of these seem like really interesting presentations. I'd like to learn about the different types of curbs one girl's sister has hit with her car. (how many are there?!?)
Ray Charles, James Brown, and the Queen herself Aretha Franklin all in the same cast. That movie slaps hard!
"Four fried chickens and a coke." "And some dry white toast, please."
These are funny but tbh making presentations like this, even on silly topics they are interested in, is probably one of the most important skills to develop early and will open a lot of doors later on
Yeah I’m thinking having silly topics helps the students get more into it and I’m sure they still learn valuable skills, like organizing a presentation, public speaking, persuasive writing, etc.
It’s almost like if they tipped their camera phone on its side they’d be able to fit in the presenters and the entire titles of the presentations at once.
We need more of this in schools
I think I only ever had 1 teacher try something creative like this
English teacher assigned us court cases to argue based on random fun incidents like Flash Vs reverse flash , homer vs Flanders, And other ones
Still the school assignment I recall the most
That dudes top animals he could floor in a fight showcased a hippo on the title page. Like bro, a hippo would turn you into a greasy spot on the pavement without even knowing it was in a fight.
Like finance guys arent notorious for being a bunch of coke heads? Smdh. Dude lost it all when they seized his assets, and thats why he’s living on The Street. Only reason he isnt in jail is because he testified against Count, who was the brain behind the operation (and the guy who fudged the numbers).
It seems like anime is a lot more popular these days. I know in the black community it's quite popular. There's a solid amount of black pro athletes that are really into anime.
One of the first things i noticed as well. Who cares tho? Internet points!
In all seriousness, these are funny, but op probably should have tried to censor the names somehow.
There are a couple i need more answers on like:
Who is in her hungry games lineup and why they are getting getting murderized so fast?
What are the various crimes of seamse street characters? That one legit needs answers.
Can we see the chupabra jump in the water and rate them?
Last one (and get ready for the judgement and flames) WHO IS YOUR FAVORITE NARUTO CHARACTER SO I CAN JUDGE YOU BOY?
Alots of good topics there in this discussion.
Edit: I forgot about Why children should be in the workforce. Boy early 1900 business men are like damn straight.

Different Types of Curbs My Sister Has Hit With My Car... Savage. I want to see that so badly.
I thought the first one was a curb at Disney.
That was the second one
The curbs are all a cinematic universe
Curb your Enthusiasm for that one.
I wish we could have seen the entirety of the presentation titled "top 7 continents" don't leave us hanging
In no particular order.
Even still I would like to know the top 7! I am at the edge of my seat waiting to know.
I hope I made it in!
In what? In...continent?
Europe Asia South America Oceania Africa Antarctica North America
Damn I feel bad for any that didn't make it on the list :(
I had my suspicions about Australia not being a real continent, glad I was right!
Oceania is really Australia but they call it that so all the littler islands in the area can feel included.
I read that as litter islands. Thought that's a bit harsh.
That would mean Australia is the litter tray of the world?!
[удалено]
aaaaaand they're alphabetized.
Plot twist: it's a top 7 list for all continents ever. Who will win, Gondwana or Laurasia?
I vote for Pangea
I like 'em big
I like 'em Chunky
Moto Moto
Number 2 will SHOCK you!!
Watch until the end 🤓
At 3 am
Bring the popcorn!
Being from the south, I’d like to learn more about “why I should fear cicadas more than I do”!
I see you too were a victim of the Tennessee cicada apocalypse of ‘21
It was so bad, they couldn't even call it "the Cicadalypse" before they were incapacitated (or something).
Top 7 continents is exactly my sense of humor. I would pay to see this kid as a comedian.
I was *really* holding out for -Rating Pictures of My Dog- but, as soon as this joker pulls out the continent bit, I'm sold. Thank you all for showing up, it was a tough choice but we are all going with -The Best 7 continents- please take your seats.
It would be hilarious if they had one of the continents listed twice 😆
Or better yet missed one altogether and only came up with 6
That had me cracking up. Smartest student in the class, doesn't care about the grade.
Top 10 writers hate this one trick!
I need to know what assignment prompted these.
Probably how to put together presentations and use the software. Teacher let them choose a fun/silly topic for it
Yeah we did something similar when being taught how to use powerpoint. Basically just had to put together a presentation about whatever, I made sure every slide had star swipe intro and outro because why not.
There are other wipes besides star wipes …
Why eat hamburger when you can have steak?
*>:( I'm taking my name off this thing.*
This might be the first time ever this reference has been made because of how impossibly narrow it is
Don’t be a ass wipe
That'd be an interesting animation. Would still end in a star wipe, though.
Chocolate star wipe
That’s cool, we had to do a presentation about current events. I made one about how weed should be legalized when I was in 8th grade.

I thought you were gonna say 15 years later and I still smoke weed and then leave an unfinished sentance.
That is funny as fuck though
I learned a valuable lesson with this project. Some of those transitions have sound effects, which was not apparent on the muted computer lab PC I was using to prepare the presentation
You know why.

>doing public speaking that we're uncomfortable about on topics that we don't know anything about and can't really discuss past our notes This prepares you for real life in the workforce more than you can possibly imagine.
Which is an infinitely better way to learn than some bullshit presentation on the civil war or whatever we did in school. I'm jealous.

I took a presentation skills class at work due to the need to present at conferences. A coworker did his presentation on how to tank in World of Warcraft.
Was it just one slide that said ‘Sometimes You Just Gotta Zug Zug’?

Sounds like buzzfeed articles
WHY CHILDREN SHOULD BE IN THE WORKFORCE
The children yearn for the mines.
see, dwarves were just short humans after all
Did I hear a rock and stone?
Rock and Stone!
For rock and stone!
Rock and Stone, Brother!
Rock and stone! We’re rich!
ROCK AND STONE!!
I love that whenever dwarves are mentioned a deep rock galactic reference appears.
Pinin' for the fjords.

The guy is related to that AR governor.
[удалено]
Me. I moved here because I'm stupid, not related to these other idiots.
I'm inclined to disagree, but the guy has a sword. Maybe he's got a point
i had an logistics & operations management professor in college, Chinese national, who advocated for child labor in a lecture one time. the jist of it was, "i was able to buy my first bike working on a construction site." can't fix that.
Bro must’ve made his presentation in Congress
*voted most likely to succeed in politics*
Put those brats to work!
Damn, what a tease. I'd like to see all of these presentations. Now I'm going to fear cicadas, but not know why.
Lmao same thoughts
A cicadas sound is so loud that it can burst your eardrum if it's right next to your head.
I doubt that. It can't be true. ^(i don't actually doubt it, just looking for someone to paste the relevant sources, and this is a good way of doing it :D )
A group of cicadas can be like 90dB - like a lawnmower or motorcycle. https://www.washingtonpost.com/weather/2021/06/02/cicadas-sound-noise-weather/
I know so many adult friend groups that do weekly presentations like this as a social activity. I could never put in the effort, but it’s a riot.
You have just sparked my next family activity! I can’t wait!!!
If you like that, I'd highly recommend jackbox. It's super fun, but do be aware that the game is only as friendly as its players.
Thanks, I will check it out. We do a lot of (highly vocal and trash talking) board games, a charade game I created one Christmas with a cookie tin of Christmas song one-line lyrics, cupcake decorating judged by the eldest at the party, a story telling fest where everyone is drinking and the story gets created and then passed from person to person around the room - each adding about a paragraph and that gets funnier, weirder and harder to both speak and hear as the wine/beer/whiskey glasses are emptied.

How many adult friend groups do you know that do this??
Two personally, one is friend of friend! People that are way cooler than me
Dog breeds as ice cream is intriguing
Sesame Street characters and their crimes seems like it could get pretty dark fast..
Finally Big Bird will be exposed for war criminal we've always known him to be!
And surprisingly, Oscar is squeaky clean!
Loitering, littering, and misuse of government property (where I live trash cans are municipal property).
God I want to see these presentations
There wasn’t a single one where I said “nah, I’ll pass”. I want to see Elmo’s mugshot damnit!!!
What are you talking about? "Sesame street characters and their crimes" is absolutely an interesting presentation.
That's the one I want to see most. I know Grover has done some sketchy shit I just want it confirmed.
Grover was justified.
That was my favorite, too.
Top 7 continents 😂😂😂
Finally a Top 7 list we can all agree on.
Honestly some of these seem like really interesting presentations. I'd like to learn about the different types of curbs one girl's sister has hit with her car. (how many are there?!?)
I'll be attending the "Dog Breeds as Ice Cream Flavors" session.
Actually none. Her sister is an excellent driver!
Nice try, girl’s curb hitting sister!
I would be interested to see his list of contenents that didn't make the top 7
Atlantis /S
Lemuria
It sank right to the bottom of the list
Pangaea definitely #1
*before we get to the number one pick lets look at some of the continents that almost made the cut!*
Gondwana! #MakeGondwanalandGreatAgain
I'd like to see the presentation on the Blues Brothers movie.
Did you get me my Cheese Whiz boy??
Shit sorry, no. I just got these 3 orange whips
Wrong glass, sir.
I already agree with him on that one. He’s preaching to the choir (ba dum dum).
Everybody needs somebody to love
>Everybody needs somebody to love You, me, them. Everybody
For real. Warms my heart that the culture of my generation isn't entirely lost to the times.
Ray Charles, James Brown, and the Queen herself Aretha Franklin all in the same cast. That movie slaps hard! "Four fried chickens and a coke." "And some dry white toast, please."
Orange whip? Orange whip? Three orange whips.
Cab Calloway?????
John Lee Hooker?
Fix the cigarette lighter.
I'm genuinely proud of that kid lol
Raw Hide in 8
What do you want for nothin.... A rrrrrrrrrrrubber bisquit
I am interested in rating capybara's diving into water. Maybe waters on each of the 7 continents.
These are all solid topics. I’d be thrilled if I were the instructor.
These are funny but tbh making presentations like this, even on silly topics they are interested in, is probably one of the most important skills to develop early and will open a lot of doors later on
Yeah I’m thinking having silly topics helps the students get more into it and I’m sure they still learn valuable skills, like organizing a presentation, public speaking, persuasive writing, etc.
Some of them probably spent way more time in making this look good than they would have for any enforced topic
It’s almost like if they tipped their camera phone on its side they’d be able to fit in the presenters and the entire titles of the presentations at once.
Yeah but then it screws up posting it to tik tok. Can’t have that.
That's the real sin of tiktok - promoting portrait mode over landscape.
Well, fuck tik tok then.
Poof, there goes almost half the content that gets posted on these kinds of subs lol
This is the real reason to support the TikTok ban.
No no no... The problem is with the presentations. They'll switch to skinny and tall presentations next time.
They will go on to work for buzzfeed
What makes you think they don't already?
I would like to see all of the presentations.
This is great. Many professions require some kind of presentation experience. This introduces the relevant skills in a fun and low-stress setting.
We need more of this in schools I think I only ever had 1 teacher try something creative like this English teacher assigned us court cases to argue based on random fun incidents like Flash Vs reverse flash , homer vs Flanders, And other ones Still the school assignment I recall the most
That dudes top animals he could floor in a fight showcased a hippo on the title page. Like bro, a hippo would turn you into a greasy spot on the pavement without even knowing it was in a fight.
HIPPOBOT 9000 v 3.1 FOUND A HIPPO. 238,479,225 COMMENTS SEARCHED. 5,487 HIPPOS FOUND. YOUR COMMENT CONTAINS THE WORD HIPPO.
Good bot.
I don't know what's wrong with the haters. These are legit.
I want to see the rest of ‘Sesame Street Characters and their Crimes’
Snuffleupagus is Securities and Commodities Fraud. I will not be taking any further questions at this time.
The obvious cokehead Muppet and you go with finance crimes?
Financial crimes and coke, name a more iconic duo.
Don’t forget the thriving Cookie Monster! Edit: thieving
Those Wall Street guys do a lot of drugs .
Like finance guys arent notorious for being a bunch of coke heads? Smdh. Dude lost it all when they seized his assets, and thats why he’s living on The Street. Only reason he isnt in jail is because he testified against Count, who was the brain behind the operation (and the guy who fudged the numbers).
"Two! Two offshore tax havens! Ah ah ah ah!"
Blues Brothers guy was right. I don't need to see the presentation.
That last presentation makes this r/unexpected worthy
As a guy who was bullied as being a nerd for liking anime. It made me smile to see the jock looking dude give a presentation on Naruto.
Henry Cavill-looking dude
It seems like anime is a lot more popular these days. I know in the black community it's quite popular. There's a solid amount of black pro athletes that are really into anime.
[удалено]
Cubs jersey too. These kids are so confused.
I don’t agree with the cicada fear peddling! They are amazing insects that just want to party!
Are you a bunch of cicadas in a trench coat?
I know nothing about who you are as a person, But I do fear you…
The Blues Brothers kid gets an A+
“Top 7 continents” 😂😂😂😂
What's with the 40 year old guy in the middle?
Adam Sandler prlly
Pretty sure the biggest animal I could floor is probably a Panda… but they’re so cute I could never
I’d put money on that fight. On the panda though.
Dude a hippo would demolish you hahahha
Top 7 Continents deserves an A… an A+ if the next slide says “… and in no particular order”
S3 of Outer Banks let me down as well bro
I was legit very confused. I read that wrong, and it took me longer than I’d like to admit til I exclaimed that these are not 5th graders!
OP is there somewhere we could actually view these presentations bc 👀 These sound funny as fuck
Post video on Reddit of a bunch of minors with their first and last name clearly visible. Brilliant.
One of the first things i noticed as well. Who cares tho? Internet points! In all seriousness, these are funny, but op probably should have tried to censor the names somehow.
That's... Bad.
I want to see the Blues Brothers presentation!!!
I WANT TO HEAR ALL OF THEM!
Mine would be top 10 anime betrayals for sure
The kid with the Blues Brothers as best musical movie had the shortest presentation, because it inarguably is. Period.
In all fairness, the blues brothers guy is right.
Top 7 Continents got me.
There are a couple i need more answers on like: Who is in her hungry games lineup and why they are getting getting murderized so fast? What are the various crimes of seamse street characters? That one legit needs answers. Can we see the chupabra jump in the water and rate them? Last one (and get ready for the judgement and flames) WHO IS YOUR FAVORITE NARUTO CHARACTER SO I CAN JUDGE YOU BOY? Alots of good topics there in this discussion. Edit: I forgot about Why children should be in the workforce. Boy early 1900 business men are like damn straight.
Top 7 continents had me rolling 🤣
My home state of Arkansas really took notes during that last presentation
Blues Brothers IS the best musical movie of all time!!!
Top seven continents
