While saying, "stupid assholes there are no proper races of humans just color variations".
Human "races" are
Functionally more closely related to dog breeds than anything else, but far less extreme in variation of features.
A chihuahua is more different compared to a great dane than you are from any other ethnicity of fellow human.
Who is downvoting this??
Chihuahuas
Downvotes aren't real. People use bots to downvote each other all the time here so why would you take them seriously?
Found the asshole who uses bots to downvote people
How was I downvoted just now, then? 🤔
Guess you need more bots.
Seriously? You're that mad at me for telling the truth? For all I know, you're using bots to downvote me and try to get revenge against me on the internet.
You need to touch grass so bad.
Maybe you're actually the bot, since you clearly lack a sense of humor.
I guess we can eliminate formula one. Seems kinda boring to me.
I'll take F1 over Nascar any day.
Disclaimer: I've never sat down to watch either, but if the choices are "turn left" or "winding, twisting course" I think I'm going with the one that has more variety.
Massive F1 fan here.
It's more of an engineering sport than a driving sport. Don't get me wrong– the drivers are absolutely top notch and do an incredible job and it's entertaining to watch. But since it's sooooo engineering and development based, you cars that perform different on different tracks (cuz of elevation, temperature, track design, surface).
It's pretty neat; worth a watch sometime!
This is like the argument that football is exciting because it's a highly strategic sport: the most interesting and exciting things about it are happening on the sidelines in the coaches' heads while 40% of the time nothing is happening on the field.
So if the most exciting part of the race is the engineering that went into the car, then what's the point of watching the race? You'd be probably be more interested watching Bill Nye.
Testing is also a part of engineering like dusten didn't just build a super sonic baseball gun and just left go yea I built that no he actually shot it sirusly we don't just engineer random shit for the sake of engineering something we engineer to make a thing to accomplish a task so of course we're going to want to see these machines used that's what engineering is all about like imagine if we had pro soccer players get ready for the game and we just cut straight to the end of the game
Like I said, some exciting racing. There was a photo finish (0.053) for the podium last race!
But for someone who is a nerd about it, some of the most exciting parts are Thursday and Friday when the teams show up with upgrades. Seeing it come together on a Sunday is awesome, but sometimes less dynamic.
If you want insane racing, just watch motorcycles
To me a lot of games seem like they're going from one end to another constantly with sudden passes to the opposing end.
Haven't watched that much but some WC games
I think they were talking about American football.
oh
I know I don't have the skills to drive one (at least not yet lol) but those things are engineering marvels.
I've always wanted to see one invert at speed to see if their downforce really is enough.
I can't imagine all the materials sciences that go on behind the scenes.
Driver61 on YouTube is trying to do that exact thing! He's still in the planning stages but it's exciting
So much cool matsci!
The exhaust is no longer titanium (it's inconel) because they 3D print the complicated bits of it now instead of traditional forming techniques
Isn't all engieneering banned in F1?
I'm not sure what you're referring to but not at all! It's the inverse of a "spec series" (which still benefit greatly from engineering) where you get handed parts to use. Teams can design the vast majority of parts themselves and do
I'm not sure which one, but I think it is F1 where making car too good is banned.
There are a bunch of restrictions in F1, which largely make it harder to make fast cars. But think of it the other way around: Those restrictions make the engineering harder, and all teams have the same restrictions. That means you have to optimise even more within the limitations you have, because you're not allowed to make some of the "easy" optimisations like cutting weight by removing the roll cage.
It's the difference between a marathon and an obstacle course.
Nascar has some really crazy shit, like building a twisted car to turn left, canting the engines to perform better in turns, making the car as flat as possible on the right to get better aero when up against the wall. They do some wild stuff with the cars, and stretching the rules or "cheating" was, and probably is, a huge part of the sport.
When it comes to the racing itself, the track layout is usually designed with top sustained speed in mind, which means that a lot of the driver's finishing position is determined by their ability to battle it out with the other drivers, instead of their ability to optimize the course. Not to mention, that simple "left turn" is deceptively complex. Drivers account for track conditions, like foreign debris, rubber "marbles", bank angle, and temperature, atmospheric conditions like air density, car conditions like damage, fuel, tire wear and tire temp, and race conditions like remaining laps, position and proximity to other drivers, when they make that "simple left". Throw in make-or-break pitstops, where the car gets fuel, tires and repairs in less than 10 seconds, and the fact that almost all of this is happening at 170+ MPH, and you realize that oval racing isn't just a bunch of hilljacks turning left, but a modern gladiator-style chariot race.
Guess I'm post-racism because my first thought was "mosquitoes".
Mine was NASCAR
Fuck yeah Mosquito Genocide crew!
...race of mosquitoes?
After some research prompted by your comment I think my French/ignorance might be showing, as the correct word would be species.
Is the word for race & species in French the same? Just trying to understand the mix-up!
No I don't even really have that excuse because we do have the word "espèce" which would be the direct translation of species, but I think in every day language people would use them a bit interchangeably. For example also breeds of dogs we call races.
Aren't you fucking enlightened.
Mosquitoes. Definitely those fuckers.
Human race 💪
we have a thinker
Yeah I am not voting.
If they were really a benevolent species, they wouldn't play this mind game to begin with.
They sound Abrahamic as fuck
This says more about humanity than the aliens.
Well it might make perfect sense from their perspective, there might be a million alien species on the galactic council who all agree they don't want to deal with a species that won't purge at least one race.
It's unlikely but possible, we have literally no way of knowing or really guessing anything about how an alien race or empire might think. They might be shocked and confused we don't kill our enemies children, bemused that we ended slavery, disgusted that we don't torture criminals for sport...
An even scarier thought is that we might agree with them in a hundred or thousand years, it seems impossible to imagine but to me it seems impossible to imagine slavery was ever a thing or that they put criminals heads on pikes for everyone to see.
Wouldn't they?
Maybe shit like that is the kind of wake up call our species would need to finally get us on the path to a post-race society.
Maybe they know we need a bit of a nudge and they decided they'd be the one to give it to us.
Look if Covid-19 wasn't an effective enough wake up call, I don't think anything will be.
Pretty sure this is just going to start off a race war
There'd be a 180° and people would start claiming that the political leaders were controlling the aliens rather than the other way around
If I had to choose a race to be eliminated to get the alien tech, I'd go with potato sack. Some people might miss it, but I feel like it's time to let that one go.
I agree. The three legged race is too much of a classic. The feeling of flow state when you and your partner get moving quick is too good. Sack races never feel fun. Just painful.
Potato sack > 400m, change my view
Agree 100% I embarrassed myself thoroughly in the sack race as a child and would like all future examples banned.
my answer is the same as bill burr's, people who go on cruises, nothing of value is lost
This is Finnish genocide
my choice would prob be a 15k. at that point I'll just do a half marathon, thanks.
how about the Abu Dhabi Tour? A week-long stage race on the least interesting terrain on the planet. The first stage frequently has a finishing straight that's 60k long.
I think they would say, "Ok you all voted for synonyms of human race so lets start the killing"
I would 100% read this book
I'm wait for the Netflix show
They will release one episode a month to milk your $99 per month introductory rate. The runtime will be 21 minutes with 39 minutes of ads interspersed.
And then we will pirate it and once again experience joy
I'm halfway there, except my wife wants me to procure nonsense shows, and so I'm stuck between supporting Netflix or supporting my wife's love for trash TV.
Tell her pirates don't tend to have bad taste in shows
ew
Reminds me of that Black Mirror episode when people could post names of people they wanted to be killed and every day the most posted person were killed. After some time, the man behind that killed all of the people who voted for anybody.
So in that killer's mind, wanting someone killed was the morally indefensible crime but actually killing ludicrous numbers of people is not? And he nor anyone else questioned that? 🤔
Bit of context and spoilers -
He was making a statement about social media threats/harassment
The first part - using social media - whoever people vote to be killed, gets killed. Trying to show these actions have consequences. The people voting feel immune to these consequences. They just voted, they didn't kill anybody.
He goes through 5 rounds of voting, with more votes every time. After each round, the most voted for is killed.
Up to this point he's exposing people trying to use social media to try and harm people
Eventually he turns it around, and kills everyone who voted
The whole thing kicked off because his friend/romantic interest tried to commit suicide from cyber bullying. He's pushing that these actions have consequences, even if you hide behind a screen.
The killer himself is a psycho, so the morals aren't exactly impactful to him. As for anyone else questioning, the definitely do.
Disclaimer - been a while since I watched the episode. It's pretty good, definitely need some suspension of disbelief (but that's most episodes)
I get that what he's trying to do, it's just his actions are self-defeating. The only reason the behavior on social media has violent consequences is because he's imposing them; no one else in that story is killing people based on meaningless Facebook polls. They only matter because he makes them matter. He causes the problems he thinks he is solving.
Also he assumes his actions will make people reconsider their choices and change, which they won't because people for the most part aren't capable of change. Most people don't have the ability to do so. Those who do deliberately refuse to because they're happy the way they are regardless of their true nature's consequences to other people.
It's just a stupid gimmicky show pretending to be deep to get views. That's all.
This is how every episode of Black Mirror is. Just little interesting "what if" scenarios that make you think. In the same way that fairy tales are contrived and unrealistic these are too.
How does this make you think?
The fact that there's some discussion going on about it is evidence of that. It's similar to the "would you press a button for a million dollars but a random person on earth dies" type of question. "Does voting to kill someone mean your responsible for the murder if they're going to kill someone anyways?"
I'm sorry i was just being mean to be mean. I think blackmirror is as thought provoking or interesting as the big bang theory
Bazinga!
Behavior on social media can definitely have consequences in real life, even violent. Many shooters vere radicalized by social media groups, for example.
A fair point. The episode just doesn't demonstrate it well at all.
Yeah people don't think too deep about TV shows
That's their problem, especially with a show like Black Mirror for which the whole point is to make people think
"What if technology was....(wait for it)....bad sometimes."
So thought provoking. I stand by my opinion that the only good episode of Black Mirror is the gay one.
"What if technology was... (wait for it)... just technology, you ape with a gun"
Technology is neither good nor bad, it's how you use it. The intent of Black Mirror is to make you think about how you use technology... but of course if you blame technology for your own actions, it doesn't work.
The intent of Black Mirror is to make you think about how you use technology
This is the intent of the vast majority of most science fiction. It doesn't make Black Mirror's execution good or insightful. Much of Black Mirror focuses on people "surrendering control" to technology in ways that prove self-destructive or just generally destructive. At their best, many of the stories aren't really about technology. Technology serves as an aesthetic component, but you could still make the stories work without them. The Orville actually has a better version of Black Mirror's Season 3, Episode 1 episode "Nosedive." It actually engages with the underlying themes and ideological basis of a world that operates like that and suggests that the technology isn't really the problem: it's how people elect to perceive and judge one another and the ease with which we condemn one another from a distance. It's not a technological problem, fundamentally, but a cultural one. Technology can facilitate bad behavior or exacerbate negative societal tendencies, but it doesn't sit at the functional center of them. Because, functionally, it's just a Salem Witch Trial story with additional technological flavoring on top. This is something that Black Mirror never seems to "get."
Which is why, and I will stand by this, the best Black Mirror episode is the gay one.
Why the gay one? Are you sure your favorite isn't the one where miley cirus gets trapped in one of those apple robot dogs from the 2000's or whatever?
Why the gay one?
Because the gay one is hella cute and I'm all about that shit.
ah yes the "I'm covered in bees!" episode.
Which episode is that? I must've missed it.
the bees episode.
I think it's S03E06 Hated In The Nation
Name of episode?
I think it's S03E06 Hated In The Nation
Aliens would be really disappointed to find out we already have blue checkmarks invented and people don‘t care nearly enough about it.
I'm concerned about the amount of people in this post that aren't just saying that None is the correct answer, but are instead trying to come up with a race to pick.
I was once among a group of (fellow) university-educated expats, during a stint living abroad in the 2000s. While we were socializing, somebody asked everyone to say what group of people they would make disappear. (I can't remember if it was kill/erase/nuke/remove from a map that was said, but a couple of variations along those lines.) People's answers that day (and their insistence that I, too, should "jokingly" hate some group of people and want them to die) taught me a lot. On top of that, I also am part of one of the groups that was named (no, I am not mixed race-- it was just ignorance on the guy's part that he not only thought I wasn't part of the group but also that when I made a "joke" of what he said, he thought telling me that I didn't seem like part of that group was supposed to make it better somehow).
I think the premise of the question means none wouldn't be an option, but yeah, entertaining it is weird.
None is specifically called out as being an option.
Nevermind, I'm just illiterate
It's an option, but if "none" wins then there's no shared knowledge of anything. The question really is, do you prefer to cause genocide but have new tech, or keep old tech with no genocide.
Ah you mean racing. For a moment I wanted to argue that it's more humane to eradicate pugs due to their miserable health problems.
Remove "the" and add an s to race to make it clear what you're talking about :)
I vote to be rid of rat race
"uhhhh I would just say none. uhhh I would just say the indie 500."
Really? Not the british? Come on I thought this one would be easy
the british and french need to be in equilibrium. if the british are suddenly removed, the french will have no natural predators, and begin to breed uncontrollably
shit man as long as it's with me that's probably fine
i need to study you
Picking the British or French would probably be ok. We should be able to get a decent breeding program set up in zoos and start releasing them back into the wild within a couple of decades.
There should be enough left in America to repopulate them within a few generations.
Just because you don't like crumpets doesn't mean there's a need for genocide
Yeah-- at worst, folks would say "I don't agree, but I GET where you are coming from"
According to a DNA test I'm like 2% British, I don't know what those genes control and I'm not gonna risk it.
Half of Africa is going to have "French" tattooed on their foreheads, and they'll be even angrier for having a French symbol part of them.
Can I select all races?
yeah im gonna have to go with the human race
Why do i hear rumbling
Everyone who chose to purge the aliens are going to start a goddamn crusade
Chinese would probably vote Japanese
China’s neighbours would for China
Majority white and black would vote for each other
And nothing we didn’t already know would be revealed
Also when an advanced race capable of killing the entire species says “you must” do something then I don’t think it’s racist to vote and I don’t think saying “none” is allowed because it defeats the purpose of the experiment
You really think the majority wouldn't vote for "none", given it's an option?
Even if one were to think practically about it (if we all vote none, they won't share the tech or whatever, for the sake of they hypothetical), wouldn't most people just choose a super small ethnic group?
Like sorry Inuits, hate to say it but y'all shoulda tried imperialism lmao
Based on the way the meme plays off, the only practical way to get the tech would show you value life over technology, hence the option for none, if it's not a consensus for none how could you expect that species to act responsible with the tech and hence the tattooing and leaving.
I’m saying none wasn’t given as an option so it should be assumed to not be
People have to be aware of the small ethnicity so it’s going to vary by person
In the meme it says none is a choice tho
Rip I missed that
I read it as isn’t
Right, that's what I was thinking : just try to pick the smallest race. I'm guessing the majority would try to do the same thing. Obviously you have people who hate other races, but I'm hoping that even if 30% have the same idea, maybe it limits casualties.. unless we're all allowed to Google though, I'm guessing most of us have different guesses as to what the smallest race is
The smallest race is "human".
If the aliens were to go through with actually eliminating the most voted "race", they'd wipe out everyone.
I feel like sensible votes wouldn't matter there are two many racists, it comes down to who the biggest population blocks are most racist against - and what counts as a race, like if it's from a list of like five or six races then it'll be different to having French and German rather than just European
Neither Chinese nor Japanese are a race. They’re the same race with different nationality
I feel like a lot of us (myself included) would vote for things that aren't races because we don't understand the difference
Maybe the whole concept of "human races" is unscientific anyways?
Inconceivable! Have you never seen a Chihuahua and a Doberman, or an American and... uh... bigfoot? fairies?... yeah, that, tooth fairies! 🙈
Good point. And aliens would probably come up with different "groups" anyway lol
There are a lot of people that treat it as such but if we tell them all SEA people are the same then I guess they would vote black
Well, if "none" wins then no one is killed and you get no technology. That's my interpretation at least.
Based on the fact they tattoo your answer afterwards, the only way you would have gotten technology is by voting none in a consensus showing you value life over technology, therefore your more likely to be responsible with it, vote on anything other than none and you have voided your ability to be responsible hence no technology. The fact this is not a more common interpretation is honestly disheartening.
By interpretation I just mean if I was there and I was assuming the aliens weren't lying about their intentions that's how I would take "none".
And I'm saying how that being such a common interpretation is disheartening. It should be more apt to apply that any sufficiently advanced being is going to value harmony not disorder which would lead to instability and eventual collapse, hence why it would be an apt litmus test to see if a society would be capable of responsibly utilizing any of their technology. The fact so many are just like "well I like tech" and someone's gonna say a group so I should say a small minority is extremely sad to see being a common take. I would hope more would recognize the implications behind such an ask, but I guess in this small sample size that's not the case.
Idk dude, I was raised Christian. I'm used to sufficiently advanced beings having totally arbitrary and often cruel intentions under the guise of being good.
I mean I had to deal with all the bs indoctrination of Christianity when I was growing up, but I definetly wouldn't assign those barbaric constraints as the motive behind a highly advanced alien species, religion was a blight from power hungry authoritarian people in the past. As I've stated I don't believe a society which has not mastered harmony with its own species and planet as capable to be that advanced. A greedy authoritarian society will tear itself apart before it ever reaches a "highly advanced" society. You could commit genocide and given enough time different races will be born again, bringing you into a repeating cycle of chaos. Look at how unstable any extremely religious area is on earth, you think that's going to create advanced societies? I sure as hell don't nor would I attribute such nonsense to a being capable of traversing the universe, one who understands the principles of physics and can unify them with the quantum mechanics is not going to assign unkowns to a god, they would investigate the mechanisms behind them and try to define them. That's a step above what we have rationally discovered and I don't attribute religion to rational beings, it's completely at odds.
But why would you not just take something someone tells you at face value? Besides, believing that interstellar beings are perfect and therefore lying about doing a thing you believe is bad is classic religious thinking.
I'd try and convince them that politicians are a race..
This is just the beginning of what could be a great movie.
I don't know what the actual direction the story goes based on this premise, but I wanna see it.
Honestly I'm surprised that studios have never bothered filming multiple endings and releasing them all into the theater chain so people would basically go see the same movie multiple times just to catch the different endings, and the studio getting more profits.
They did that with the movie Clue, showing different endings at different theaters. At the. Time, it pissed people off, and it got called a cash grab.
Ah, ok.
Clue (1985) did exactly that
Mostly cost, a lot of movies already run on thin budgets and timelines, extra filming and editing from having multiple endings cuts into that
I did like that movie. I saw it years ago, but every time I tried to describe it to someone I couldn't think of the name. I can't remember how it ended exactly, but I'll probably throw it on when I go to my brother's place.
We've been catching up with a lot of culture we missed out on due to being stuck in an overly religious household growing up. So we take time each (well most) Sundays to watch something we know Mom would hate. It's therapeutic in a word kind of way.
The ending could be a great south park episodes.
I wonder what "none, fuck off" gets you?
Heaven. That's where the Mormons went.
I'm sorry but if there's one thing the Mormon church won't do it's say "none"
It's a joke from south park.

As there's only one race, I guess everyone who chose anything but none gets the human race symbol (???) tattoed on their face. Still would be fun to see who chose to have other humans killed.
Now, if the OP in 4chan meant ethnicity, that's a different story.

The definition of “race” varies widely between different demographics and contexts. In a biological context which you seem to be insinuating, “race” is either nonsensical or an ancient synonym for species.

I legit question why people should be morally condemned for choosing to have others killed. It's too important a survival mechanism to just dismiss with morality like that, and claiming it's wrong violates the human right to freedom of thought. Humans are allowed to hate each other. They're allowed to want negative things, even to have others killed.
The premise itself is self-defeating because it uses the act of labeling people who make a choice to be targeted for violence and death to defeat the concept of doing so. Its use legitimizes the practice even to criticize it. Humans have to select other people to be targeted for violence because it's ultimately the only effective way to regulate behavior and enforce social norms, and refusing to do so destroys societies.
People need to stop judging others on their thoughts and feelings and start focusing on their actions.
What if, instead of a tattoo, everyone who voted just becomes that race?
The logistics would be tricky. Aside from the fact that race doesn't exist, people within an ethnicity don't all look the same. And would they still have the background of however they were originally born?
Just make them look and sound as whatever stereotype they have for that race.
I'd watch that.
That reminds me of a discussion with someone who thought Hispanics can't be white, I was like, have you ever seen seen a Spaniard?
Can I write in "mosquitos" for extermination, or is it a multiple choice ballot?
I would pick ticks first myself. Those guys are assholes.
Products and services that hide/remove that tattoo would skyrocket. Tattoo removal places would probably become super rich.
I'm willing to bet that the ayylmaos would be smart enough to think of that and make it somehow permanent like nanomachine pigments imbedded in your brain that re-emerges on the skin eventually or smthn
That might be kind of convenient actually - racist assholes of all colours will label themselves and probably kill eachother while (hopefully) most of the population's foreheads will read "None".
I don't think this is likely unless if none is the most voted option none gets killed. But if one always gets killed then there will be lots of campaigning and manipulating for certain votes. And the past years have shown people will fall for it.
If voting is mandatory, the most ethical thing to do would be to figure out which race has the least amount of people. Instead of killing millions of people, you could probably get it down to a few dozen or hundred. Of course, nobody dies either way and the mark would show that you tried to do the right thing.
which race has the least amount of people
The "human" race.
There are no races of humans, "human" is the race.
So I guess racial discrimination can't be a thing if we're all one race, right?
Stop trying to change the well-known and accepted definition of race. It doesn't achieve anything.
Calling ethnic discrimination "racial", doesn't make ethnicities into races.
Aliens observing will think this already happened here. The chaos is real presently. I'm checking this off list of things to worry about.
The ruling class literally has been doing that for centuries..
The result would be a genocide, but this time you can identify the jews by not having a star of david anywhere on their body.
Sounds like a twilight zone episode
I vote to get rid of the Indy 500!
that is kind of what is happening anyways. At best the aliens just provided an intermission.
Immediately though of one of those races of dog or cow that's been inbred to the point that their existence is torture already. I didn't think of humans.
4channer aliens
They're really into anal probing.
Interesting!
Could be a fun read if it became a book!
Lizard people. I know they don't exist, you knows they don't exist and anyone who thinks they exist will not view me as their enemy.
And even if they exist but hide, the aliens will purge them if we vote for them, so we can get rid of them preemptively. It's a win-win!
See? Even you are my ally!
I have read twice to understand how humans are supposed to know alien species and why that's important
What was the symbol used for "none"?
I guess you don't get any symbol and are now considered as the morally superior group, which will then use it to gain power and proceed to oppress the others.
I'd reckon it'd go the other way as they'd probably be in the minority.
I guess you don’t get any symbol and are now considered as the morally superior group, which will then use it to gain power and proceed to oppress the others.
Either that, or everyone with symbols would work together and gang up on you for not having a symbol.
The unmarked will be slaves
The unmarked will be slaves
Before it came to that though they'd be able to put yellow :-) stickers on their foreheads, confuse everyone else, and make their escape while the others debate what to do.
Because they hate evey other race so they couldn't decide before time was up.
The mosquito race.
Or Daytona 500.
I wonder what a street race symbol would look like
"FAMILY"
Formula E is the best choice imo.
A new minority (hopefully a minority)
If I pick white do I get a swastika on my face?
Velvet hippo lovers not gonna like me.
Think of some weird african race that only has 500 members or something
Village tribe ≠ race I guess but whatever
Yes they are considered difference ethnicities
I'd vote for cumskins
No offense to chinease people, but I would say them, because their economy could starve everybody else.
If you're worried about Chinese economy damaging your own, just stop trading with China.
Oh wait, your economy depends on forced cheap labour
No problem, India has more slavespeople already anyway.
Sweatshops are unironically a good thing for developing nations, it helped develop China and soon with Southeast Asia.
I blocked the 4chan assholes multiple times yet they still make it to my feed
Edit: maybe you downvoters can explain what there is about 4chan to not-hate?
Hey I'll downvotes you too and explain a little.
First of all, not helpful to any conversation. You just want to announce to everyone your personal issues. Cool. No one cared. Downvotes.
Secondly. There is plenty to hate about 4chan but why curated snippets? It's an old school anonymous forum that is chaos trapped in a site. In all of that is occasionally interesting discussions, art, and insightful looks at the human condition. And racism and horribleness.
It's Like saying you hate corn so you don't drink any juice, don't use gasoline, don't drink vodka or whiskey. It's a lot of things, but here someone has curated a snippet of the chaos they found interesting. It no longer is 4chan but just a piece of something.
If you don't like this idea then sure whatever but it's no more 4chan than this is a text to you.
This is a conversation starter.
Nah, it's still a part of 4chan whether you think it's interesting or not.
Yeah and ethanol is basically corn on the cob and Caitlyn Jenner is still Bruce. Nothing ever changes and everything is exactly what it was. That's why you are just a clump of cells with only a mouth and and asshole apparently.
Humans are deuterostomes, so if you go further back, the first hole that forms from a zygote will later be the asshole.
Thank you! I couldn't remember if people started out as just assholes, but I thought they did, but I went a bit further into the development of the zygote figured it was about the same. It's a much better burn when I actually remember that.
Always fun when you got to remember advanced biology throwing out insults that can get you punched in the face.
Oh really? That screenshot is not a 4chan post? Where did it come from, then?
Yeah I'm not gonna fight with you just because you want it. Your demons are yours. I don't want any part.
Upvoted, that's exactly what I want, thank you. Go away now
While saying, "stupid assholes there are no proper races of humans just color variations".
Human "races" are Functionally more closely related to dog breeds than anything else, but far less extreme in variation of features.
A chihuahua is more different compared to a great dane than you are from any other ethnicity of fellow human.
Who is downvoting this??

Downvotes aren't real. People use bots to downvote each other all the time here so why would you take them seriously?
Found the asshole who uses bots to downvote people
How was I downvoted just now, then? 🤔
Guess you need more bots.
Seriously? You're that mad at me for telling the truth? For all I know, you're using bots to downvote me and try to get revenge against me on the internet.
You need to touch grass so bad.
Maybe you're actually the bot, since you clearly lack a sense of humor.
I guess we can eliminate formula one. Seems kinda boring to me.
I'll take F1 over Nascar any day.
Disclaimer: I've never sat down to watch either, but if the choices are "turn left" or "winding, twisting course" I think I'm going with the one that has more variety.
Massive F1 fan here.
It's more of an engineering sport than a driving sport. Don't get me wrong– the drivers are absolutely top notch and do an incredible job and it's entertaining to watch. But since it's sooooo engineering and development based, you cars that perform different on different tracks (cuz of elevation, temperature, track design, surface).
It's pretty neat; worth a watch sometime!
This is like the argument that football is exciting because it's a highly strategic sport: the most interesting and exciting things about it are happening on the sidelines in the coaches' heads while 40% of the time nothing is happening on the field.
So if the most exciting part of the race is the engineering that went into the car, then what's the point of watching the race? You'd be probably be more interested watching Bill Nye.
Testing is also a part of engineering like dusten didn't just build a super sonic baseball gun and just left go yea I built that no he actually shot it sirusly we don't just engineer random shit for the sake of engineering something we engineer to make a thing to accomplish a task so of course we're going to want to see these machines used that's what engineering is all about like imagine if we had pro soccer players get ready for the game and we just cut straight to the end of the game
Like I said, some exciting racing. There was a photo finish (0.053) for the podium last race!

But for someone who is a nerd about it, some of the most exciting parts are Thursday and Friday when the teams show up with upgrades. Seeing it come together on a Sunday is awesome, but sometimes less dynamic.
If you want insane racing, just watch motorcycles
To me a lot of games seem like they're going from one end to another constantly with sudden passes to the opposing end.
Haven't watched that much but some WC games
I think they were talking about American football.
oh
I know I don't have the skills to drive one (at least not yet lol) but those things are engineering marvels.
I've always wanted to see one invert at speed to see if their downforce really is enough.
I can't imagine all the materials sciences that go on behind the scenes.
Driver61 on YouTube is trying to do that exact thing! He's still in the planning stages but it's exciting
So much cool matsci!
The exhaust is no longer titanium (it's inconel) because they 3D print the complicated bits of it now instead of traditional forming techniques
Isn't all engieneering banned in F1?
I'm not sure what you're referring to but not at all! It's the inverse of a "spec series" (which still benefit greatly from engineering) where you get handed parts to use. Teams can design the vast majority of parts themselves and do
I'm not sure which one, but I think it is F1 where making car too good is banned.
There are a bunch of restrictions in F1, which largely make it harder to make fast cars. But think of it the other way around: Those restrictions make the engineering harder, and all teams have the same restrictions. That means you have to optimise even more within the limitations you have, because you're not allowed to make some of the "easy" optimisations like cutting weight by removing the roll cage.
It's the difference between a marathon and an obstacle course.
Nascar has some really crazy shit, like building a twisted car to turn left, canting the engines to perform better in turns, making the car as flat as possible on the right to get better aero when up against the wall. They do some wild stuff with the cars, and stretching the rules or "cheating" was, and probably is, a huge part of the sport.
When it comes to the racing itself, the track layout is usually designed with top sustained speed in mind, which means that a lot of the driver's finishing position is determined by their ability to battle it out with the other drivers, instead of their ability to optimize the course. Not to mention, that simple "left turn" is deceptively complex. Drivers account for track conditions, like foreign debris, rubber "marbles", bank angle, and temperature, atmospheric conditions like air density, car conditions like damage, fuel, tire wear and tire temp, and race conditions like remaining laps, position and proximity to other drivers, when they make that "simple left". Throw in make-or-break pitstops, where the car gets fuel, tires and repairs in less than 10 seconds, and the fact that almost all of this is happening at 170+ MPH, and you realize that oval racing isn't just a bunch of hilljacks turning left, but a modern gladiator-style chariot race.
He said a race, not a racing series. Get rid of Abu Dhabi and we're good.
There is only one race.
[writes down "humans" on ballot]
I mean, in this scenario we've established that there's at least one alien species as well.
But does it have subraces of the species?
(technically there are no human races in biological terms, by the way, there's not enough difference)
False. There is also 3-legged.
In Hungary it's a singles event.
mastodong map right there
french propaganda
We're not playing Sons of the Forest over here.
Is rich a race?
Guess I'm post-racism because my first thought was "mosquitoes".
Mine was NASCAR
Fuck yeah Mosquito Genocide crew!
...race of mosquitoes?
After some research prompted by your comment I think my French/ignorance might be showing, as the correct word would be species.
Is the word for race & species in French the same? Just trying to understand the mix-up!
No I don't even really have that excuse because we do have the word "espèce" which would be the direct translation of species, but I think in every day language people would use them a bit interchangeably. For example also breeds of dogs we call races.
Aren't you fucking enlightened.
Mosquitoes. Definitely those fuckers.
Human race 💪
we have a thinker
Yeah I am not voting.
If they were really a benevolent species, they wouldn't play this mind game to begin with.
They sound Abrahamic as fuck
This says more about humanity than the aliens.
Well it might make perfect sense from their perspective, there might be a million alien species on the galactic council who all agree they don't want to deal with a species that won't purge at least one race.
It's unlikely but possible, we have literally no way of knowing or really guessing anything about how an alien race or empire might think. They might be shocked and confused we don't kill our enemies children, bemused that we ended slavery, disgusted that we don't torture criminals for sport...
An even scarier thought is that we might agree with them in a hundred or thousand years, it seems impossible to imagine but to me it seems impossible to imagine slavery was ever a thing or that they put criminals heads on pikes for everyone to see.
Wouldn't they?
Maybe shit like that is the kind of wake up call our species would need to finally get us on the path to a post-race society.
Maybe they know we need a bit of a nudge and they decided they'd be the one to give it to us.
Look if Covid-19 wasn't an effective enough wake up call, I don't think anything will be.
Pretty sure this is just going to start off a race war
There'd be a 180° and people would start claiming that the political leaders were controlling the aliens rather than the other way around
If I had to choose a race to be eliminated to get the alien tech, I'd go with potato sack. Some people might miss it, but I feel like it's time to let that one go.
I agree. The three legged race is too much of a classic. The feeling of flow state when you and your partner get moving quick is too good. Sack races never feel fun. Just painful.
Potato sack > 400m, change my view
Agree 100% I embarrassed myself thoroughly in the sack race as a child and would like all future examples banned.
my answer is the same as bill burr's, people who go on cruises, nothing of value is lost
This is Finnish genocide
my choice would prob be a 15k. at that point I'll just do a half marathon, thanks.
how about the Abu Dhabi Tour? A week-long stage race on the least interesting terrain on the planet. The first stage frequently has a finishing straight that's 60k long.
I think they would say, "Ok you all voted for synonyms of human race so lets start the killing"
I would 100% read this book
I'm wait for the Netflix show
They will release one episode a month to milk your $99 per month introductory rate. The runtime will be 21 minutes with 39 minutes of ads interspersed.
And then we will pirate it and once again experience joy
I'm halfway there, except my wife wants me to procure nonsense shows, and so I'm stuck between supporting Netflix or supporting my wife's love for trash TV.
Tell her pirates don't tend to have bad taste in shows
ew
Reminds me of that Black Mirror episode when people could post names of people they wanted to be killed and every day the most posted person were killed. After some time, the man behind that killed all of the people who voted for anybody.
So in that killer's mind, wanting someone killed was the morally indefensible crime but actually killing ludicrous numbers of people is not? And he nor anyone else questioned that? 🤔
Bit of context and spoilers - He was making a statement about social media threats/harassment
The first part - using social media - whoever people vote to be killed, gets killed. Trying to show these actions have consequences. The people voting feel immune to these consequences. They just voted, they didn't kill anybody.
He goes through 5 rounds of voting, with more votes every time. After each round, the most voted for is killed.
Up to this point he's exposing people trying to use social media to try and harm people Eventually he turns it around, and kills everyone who voted
The whole thing kicked off because his friend/romantic interest tried to commit suicide from cyber bullying. He's pushing that these actions have consequences, even if you hide behind a screen.
The killer himself is a psycho, so the morals aren't exactly impactful to him. As for anyone else questioning, the definitely do.
Disclaimer - been a while since I watched the episode. It's pretty good, definitely need some suspension of disbelief (but that's most episodes)
I get that what he's trying to do, it's just his actions are self-defeating. The only reason the behavior on social media has violent consequences is because he's imposing them; no one else in that story is killing people based on meaningless Facebook polls. They only matter because he makes them matter. He causes the problems he thinks he is solving.
Also he assumes his actions will make people reconsider their choices and change, which they won't because people for the most part aren't capable of change. Most people don't have the ability to do so. Those who do deliberately refuse to because they're happy the way they are regardless of their true nature's consequences to other people.
It's just a stupid gimmicky show pretending to be deep to get views. That's all.
This is how every episode of Black Mirror is. Just little interesting "what if" scenarios that make you think. In the same way that fairy tales are contrived and unrealistic these are too.
How does this make you think?
The fact that there's some discussion going on about it is evidence of that. It's similar to the "would you press a button for a million dollars but a random person on earth dies" type of question. "Does voting to kill someone mean your responsible for the murder if they're going to kill someone anyways?"
I'm sorry i was just being mean to be mean. I think blackmirror is as thought provoking or interesting as the big bang theory
Bazinga!
Behavior on social media can definitely have consequences in real life, even violent. Many shooters vere radicalized by social media groups, for example.
A fair point. The episode just doesn't demonstrate it well at all.
Yeah people don't think too deep about TV shows
That's their problem, especially with a show like Black Mirror for which the whole point is to make people think
"What if technology was....(wait for it)....bad sometimes."
So thought provoking. I stand by my opinion that the only good episode of Black Mirror is the gay one.
"What if technology was... (wait for it)... just technology, you ape with a gun"
Technology is neither good nor bad, it's how you use it. The intent of Black Mirror is to make you think about how you use technology... but of course if you blame technology for your own actions, it doesn't work.
This is the intent of the vast majority of most science fiction. It doesn't make Black Mirror's execution good or insightful. Much of Black Mirror focuses on people "surrendering control" to technology in ways that prove self-destructive or just generally destructive. At their best, many of the stories aren't really about technology. Technology serves as an aesthetic component, but you could still make the stories work without them. The Orville actually has a better version of Black Mirror's Season 3, Episode 1 episode "Nosedive." It actually engages with the underlying themes and ideological basis of a world that operates like that and suggests that the technology isn't really the problem: it's how people elect to perceive and judge one another and the ease with which we condemn one another from a distance. It's not a technological problem, fundamentally, but a cultural one. Technology can facilitate bad behavior or exacerbate negative societal tendencies, but it doesn't sit at the functional center of them. Because, functionally, it's just a Salem Witch Trial story with additional technological flavoring on top. This is something that Black Mirror never seems to "get."
Which is why, and I will stand by this, the best Black Mirror episode is the gay one.
Why the gay one? Are you sure your favorite isn't the one where miley cirus gets trapped in one of those apple robot dogs from the 2000's or whatever?
Because the gay one is hella cute and I'm all about that shit.
ah yes the "I'm covered in bees!" episode.
Which episode is that? I must've missed it.
the bees episode.
I think it's S03E06 Hated In The Nation
Name of episode?
I think it's S03E06 Hated In The Nation
Aliens would be really disappointed to find out we already have blue checkmarks invented and people don‘t care nearly enough about it.
I'm concerned about the amount of people in this post that aren't just saying that None is the correct answer, but are instead trying to come up with a race to pick.
I was once among a group of (fellow) university-educated expats, during a stint living abroad in the 2000s. While we were socializing, somebody asked everyone to say what group of people they would make disappear. (I can't remember if it was kill/erase/nuke/remove from a map that was said, but a couple of variations along those lines.) People's answers that day (and their insistence that I, too, should "jokingly" hate some group of people and want them to die) taught me a lot. On top of that, I also am part of one of the groups that was named (no, I am not mixed race-- it was just ignorance on the guy's part that he not only thought I wasn't part of the group but also that when I made a "joke" of what he said, he thought telling me that I didn't seem like part of that group was supposed to make it better somehow).
I think the premise of the question means none wouldn't be an option, but yeah, entertaining it is weird.
None is specifically called out as being an option.
Nevermind, I'm just illiterate
It's an option, but if "none" wins then there's no shared knowledge of anything. The question really is, do you prefer to cause genocide but have new tech, or keep old tech with no genocide.
I vote for eliminating the greyhound race
Ah you mean racing. For a moment I wanted to argue that it's more humane to eradicate pugs due to their miserable health problems.
Remove "the" and add an s to race to make it clear what you're talking about :)
I vote to be rid of rat race
"uhhhh I would just say none. uhhh I would just say the indie 500."
Really? Not the british? Come on I thought this one would be easy
the british and french need to be in equilibrium. if the british are suddenly removed, the french will have no natural predators, and begin to breed uncontrollably
shit man as long as it's with me that's probably fine
i need to study you
Picking the British or French would probably be ok. We should be able to get a decent breeding program set up in zoos and start releasing them back into the wild within a couple of decades.
There should be enough left in America to repopulate them within a few generations.
Just because you don't like crumpets doesn't mean there's a need for genocide
Yeah-- at worst, folks would say "I don't agree, but I GET where you are coming from"
According to a DNA test I'm like 2% British, I don't know what those genes control and I'm not gonna risk it.
Half of Africa is going to have "French" tattooed on their foreheads, and they'll be even angrier for having a French symbol part of them.
Can I select all races?
yeah im gonna have to go with the human race
Why do i hear rumbling
Everyone who chose to purge the aliens are going to start a goddamn crusade
Chinese would probably vote Japanese
China’s neighbours would for China
Majority white and black would vote for each other
And nothing we didn’t already know would be revealed
Also when an advanced race capable of killing the entire species says “you must” do something then I don’t think it’s racist to vote and I don’t think saying “none” is allowed because it defeats the purpose of the experiment
You really think the majority wouldn't vote for "none", given it's an option?
Even if one were to think practically about it (if we all vote none, they won't share the tech or whatever, for the sake of they hypothetical), wouldn't most people just choose a super small ethnic group?
Like sorry Inuits, hate to say it but y'all shoulda tried imperialism lmao
Based on the way the meme plays off, the only practical way to get the tech would show you value life over technology, hence the option for none, if it's not a consensus for none how could you expect that species to act responsible with the tech and hence the tattooing and leaving.
I’m saying none wasn’t given as an option so it should be assumed to not be
People have to be aware of the small ethnicity so it’s going to vary by person
In the meme it says none is a choice tho
Rip I missed that
I read it as isn’t
Right, that's what I was thinking : just try to pick the smallest race. I'm guessing the majority would try to do the same thing. Obviously you have people who hate other races, but I'm hoping that even if 30% have the same idea, maybe it limits casualties.. unless we're all allowed to Google though, I'm guessing most of us have different guesses as to what the smallest race is
The smallest race is "human".
If the aliens were to go through with actually eliminating the most voted "race", they'd wipe out everyone.
I feel like sensible votes wouldn't matter there are two many racists, it comes down to who the biggest population blocks are most racist against - and what counts as a race, like if it's from a list of like five or six races then it'll be different to having French and German rather than just European
Neither Chinese nor Japanese are a race. They’re the same race with different nationality
I feel like a lot of us (myself included) would vote for things that aren't races because we don't understand the difference
Maybe the whole concept of "human races" is unscientific anyways?
Inconceivable! Have you never seen a Chihuahua and a Doberman, or an American and... uh... bigfoot? fairies?... yeah, that, tooth fairies! 🙈
Good point. And aliens would probably come up with different "groups" anyway lol
There are a lot of people that treat it as such but if we tell them all SEA people are the same then I guess they would vote black
Well, if "none" wins then no one is killed and you get no technology. That's my interpretation at least.
Based on the fact they tattoo your answer afterwards, the only way you would have gotten technology is by voting none in a consensus showing you value life over technology, therefore your more likely to be responsible with it, vote on anything other than none and you have voided your ability to be responsible hence no technology. The fact this is not a more common interpretation is honestly disheartening.
By interpretation I just mean if I was there and I was assuming the aliens weren't lying about their intentions that's how I would take "none".
And I'm saying how that being such a common interpretation is disheartening. It should be more apt to apply that any sufficiently advanced being is going to value harmony not disorder which would lead to instability and eventual collapse, hence why it would be an apt litmus test to see if a society would be capable of responsibly utilizing any of their technology. The fact so many are just like "well I like tech" and someone's gonna say a group so I should say a small minority is extremely sad to see being a common take. I would hope more would recognize the implications behind such an ask, but I guess in this small sample size that's not the case.
Idk dude, I was raised Christian. I'm used to sufficiently advanced beings having totally arbitrary and often cruel intentions under the guise of being good.
I mean I had to deal with all the bs indoctrination of Christianity when I was growing up, but I definetly wouldn't assign those barbaric constraints as the motive behind a highly advanced alien species, religion was a blight from power hungry authoritarian people in the past. As I've stated I don't believe a society which has not mastered harmony with its own species and planet as capable to be that advanced. A greedy authoritarian society will tear itself apart before it ever reaches a "highly advanced" society. You could commit genocide and given enough time different races will be born again, bringing you into a repeating cycle of chaos. Look at how unstable any extremely religious area is on earth, you think that's going to create advanced societies? I sure as hell don't nor would I attribute such nonsense to a being capable of traversing the universe, one who understands the principles of physics and can unify them with the quantum mechanics is not going to assign unkowns to a god, they would investigate the mechanisms behind them and try to define them. That's a step above what we have rationally discovered and I don't attribute religion to rational beings, it's completely at odds.
But why would you not just take something someone tells you at face value? Besides, believing that interstellar beings are perfect and therefore lying about doing a thing you believe is bad is classic religious thinking.
I'd try and convince them that politicians are a race..
This is just the beginning of what could be a great movie.
I don't know what the actual direction the story goes based on this premise, but I wanna see it.
Honestly I'm surprised that studios have never bothered filming multiple endings and releasing them all into the theater chain so people would basically go see the same movie multiple times just to catch the different endings, and the studio getting more profits.
They did that with the movie Clue, showing different endings at different theaters. At the. Time, it pissed people off, and it got called a cash grab.
Ah, ok.
Clue (1985) did exactly that
Mostly cost, a lot of movies already run on thin budgets and timelines, extra filming and editing from having multiple endings cuts into that
You would like the movie Circle (2015)
I did like that movie. I saw it years ago, but every time I tried to describe it to someone I couldn't think of the name. I can't remember how it ended exactly, but I'll probably throw it on when I go to my brother's place.
We've been catching up with a lot of culture we missed out on due to being stuck in an overly religious household growing up. So we take time each (well most) Sundays to watch something we know Mom would hate. It's therapeutic in a word kind of way.
The ending could be a great south park episodes.
I wonder what "none, fuck off" gets you?
Heaven. That's where the Mormons went.
I'm sorry but if there's one thing the Mormon church won't do it's say "none"
It's a joke from south park.

As there's only one race, I guess everyone who chose anything but none gets the human race symbol (???) tattoed on their face. Still would be fun to see who chose to have other humans killed.
Now, if the OP in 4chan meant ethnicity, that's a different story.

The definition of “race” varies widely between different demographics and contexts. In a biological context which you seem to be insinuating, “race” is either nonsensical or an ancient synonym for species.

I legit question why people should be morally condemned for choosing to have others killed. It's too important a survival mechanism to just dismiss with morality like that, and claiming it's wrong violates the human right to freedom of thought. Humans are allowed to hate each other. They're allowed to want negative things, even to have others killed.
The premise itself is self-defeating because it uses the act of labeling people who make a choice to be targeted for violence and death to defeat the concept of doing so. Its use legitimizes the practice even to criticize it. Humans have to select other people to be targeted for violence because it's ultimately the only effective way to regulate behavior and enforce social norms, and refusing to do so destroys societies.
People need to stop judging others on their thoughts and feelings and start focusing on their actions.
What if, instead of a tattoo, everyone who voted just becomes that race?
The logistics would be tricky. Aside from the fact that race doesn't exist, people within an ethnicity don't all look the same. And would they still have the background of however they were originally born?
Just make them look and sound as whatever stereotype they have for that race.
I'd watch that.
That reminds me of a discussion with someone who thought Hispanics can't be white, I was like, have you ever seen seen a Spaniard?
Can I write in "mosquitos" for extermination, or is it a multiple choice ballot?
I would pick ticks first myself. Those guys are assholes.
Products and services that hide/remove that tattoo would skyrocket. Tattoo removal places would probably become super rich.
I'm willing to bet that the ayylmaos would be smart enough to think of that and make it somehow permanent like nanomachine pigments imbedded in your brain that re-emerges on the skin eventually or smthn
That might be kind of convenient actually - racist assholes of all colours will label themselves and probably kill eachother while (hopefully) most of the population's foreheads will read "None".
I don't think this is likely unless if none is the most voted option none gets killed. But if one always gets killed then there will be lots of campaigning and manipulating for certain votes. And the past years have shown people will fall for it.
If voting is mandatory, the most ethical thing to do would be to figure out which race has the least amount of people. Instead of killing millions of people, you could probably get it down to a few dozen or hundred. Of course, nobody dies either way and the mark would show that you tried to do the right thing.
The "human" race.
There are no races of humans, "human" is the race.
So I guess racial discrimination can't be a thing if we're all one race, right?
Stop trying to change the well-known and accepted definition of race. It doesn't achieve anything.
Calling ethnic discrimination "racial", doesn't make ethnicities into races.
That in itself, is racist.

Aliens observing will think this already happened here. The chaos is real presently. I'm checking this off list of things to worry about.
The ruling class literally has been doing that for centuries..
The result would be a genocide, but this time you can identify the jews by not having a star of david anywhere on their body.
Sounds like a twilight zone episode
I vote to get rid of the Indy 500!
that is kind of what is happening anyways. At best the aliens just provided an intermission.
Immediately though of one of those races of dog or cow that's been inbred to the point that their existence is torture already. I didn't think of humans.
4channer aliens
They're really into anal probing.
Interesting!
Could be a fun read if it became a book!
Lizard people. I know they don't exist, you knows they don't exist and anyone who thinks they exist will not view me as their enemy.
And even if they exist but hide, the aliens will purge them if we vote for them, so we can get rid of them preemptively. It's a win-win!
See? Even you are my ally!
I have read twice to understand how humans are supposed to know alien species and why that's important
What was the symbol used for "none"?
I guess you don't get any symbol and are now considered as the morally superior group, which will then use it to gain power and proceed to oppress the others.
I'd reckon it'd go the other way as they'd probably be in the minority.
Either that, or everyone with symbols would work together and gang up on you for not having a symbol.
The unmarked will be slaves
Before it came to that though they'd be able to put yellow :-) stickers on their foreheads, confuse everyone else, and make their escape while the others debate what to do.
Because they hate evey other race so they couldn't decide before time was up.
The mosquito race.
Or Daytona 500.
I wonder what a street race symbol would look like
"FAMILY"
Formula E is the best choice imo.
A new minority (hopefully a minority)
If I pick white do I get a swastika on my face?
Velvet hippo lovers not gonna like me.
Think of some weird african race that only has 500 members or something
Village tribe ≠ race I guess but whatever
Yes they are considered difference ethnicities
I'd vote for cumskins
No offense to chinease people, but I would say them, because their economy could starve everybody else.
If you're worried about Chinese economy damaging your own, just stop trading with China.
Oh wait, your economy depends on

I blocked the 4chan assholes multiple times yet they still make it to my feed
Edit: maybe you downvoters can explain what there is about 4chan to not-hate?
Hey I'll downvotes you too and explain a little.
First of all, not helpful to any conversation. You just want to announce to everyone your personal issues. Cool. No one cared. Downvotes.
Secondly. There is plenty to hate about 4chan but why curated snippets? It's an old school anonymous forum that is chaos trapped in a site. In all of that is occasionally interesting discussions, art, and insightful looks at the human condition. And racism and horribleness.
It's Like saying you hate corn so you don't drink any juice, don't use gasoline, don't drink vodka or whiskey. It's a lot of things, but here someone has curated a snippet of the chaos they found interesting. It no longer is 4chan but just a piece of something.
If you don't like this idea then sure whatever but it's no more 4chan than this is a text to you.
This is a conversation starter.
Nah, it's still a part of 4chan whether you think it's interesting or not.
Yeah and ethanol is basically corn on the cob and Caitlyn Jenner is still Bruce. Nothing ever changes and everything is exactly what it was. That's why you are just a clump of cells with only a mouth and and asshole apparently.
Humans are deuterostomes, so if you go further back, the first hole that forms from a zygote will later be the asshole.
Thank you! I couldn't remember if people started out as just assholes, but I thought they did, but I went a bit further into the development of the zygote figured it was about the same. It's a much better burn when I actually remember that.
Always fun when you got to remember advanced biology throwing out insults that can get you punched in the face.
Oh really? That screenshot is not a 4chan post? Where did it come from, then?
Yeah I'm not gonna fight with you just because you want it. Your demons are yours. I don't want any part.
Upvoted, that's exactly what I want, thank you. Go away now
Your analogy is trash.
No, it's just 4chan. If it was ever published to 4chan, it is forever associated with the worst part of humanity. Full stop.
You like that. Cool.
I say fuck that.
Also your analogy is shit.
