OMG Boobs! Does nobody think of the Children?!?!?!?!
Pathetic
public toplessness is legal in NYC and has been since 2010 for everyone. i'm guessing that it's not in Dublin?
Lol nope! Republic of Ireland has been a heavily-Catholic country since its inception. It's lightened in recent years and some surprises do slip through but that ain't one of them.
I don't think you've been to Ireland in a long long time if you think the church has any moral or real power over society as a whole here.
Another "very drunk" woman was filmed rubbing her behind against the screen, while a different video shows a man
One person on the Irish side went as far as to show the New Yorkers images of 9/11 on his phone
Probably wasn’t the only time. People generally being people is probably why they shut it down.
Thatll stop em from being people
I'm not saying it was a good thing to do, but once you have that idea, it becomes an irresistible temptation. The 9/11 one, although I guess it might be true of the other one, too.
Greed is the most destructive human impulse, but prudishness still wins handily in the fucking annoying category.
Oh no, boobs, those things pretty much everyone likes, the horror!
The average person has one boob and one testicle.
Slightly less than one boob and one testicle. Just like the average person has slightly less than two legs.
Some of us have 2 boobs and 2 testicals :)
And some have 0 boobs and 0 testicles. Gender affirming care probably evens out
Won't someone think of the ovaries!?
The average person has slightly more than one skeleton inside of them
IDK, there's slightly more women than men, it may skew the results
and women who have had mastectomies.
That's kinda my point. Mastectomies would bring the average down but more women brings it back up. Too lazy to Google but is global # of women who have had mastectomies more or fewer than # of "excess" women (over men)
Well are we just equalizing based on boob number, or are we also equalizing based on average boob size? Because some men also have boobs due to hormonal imbalance, and that's even more if we decide to count like, fat induced moobs for whatever reason. The hormonal imbalances at least would probably bring the average back in favor of slightly more than one boob. If we've equalized it to boob size then we'd probably all have like small A cups or something.
What about fat guys? Does that up the average?
No, those are moobs.
I was thinking about this in terms of limbs, and wondering, since pregnant women have more than 4 limbs, wouldn't the average number of limbs be greater than 4?
There are probably considerably more pregnant women than people missing limbs, but then again, the women only have additional limbs for 9 months.
Glad to know I'm driving that leg median up !
I dunno. My buddy Kyle has like 10 legs. 9 of them are prosthetic, but they all count.
What about stilts?
I'll have to ask Kyle. I consider him my authority on what's a leg.
he has a leg up on everybody else
You must be pulling my legs
That's not true! I got two it's just that one is really big!
Boobs should never shut anything down. Ever.
Its a good thing they never invented a bomb that distributed female nipples over a wide area.
Entire cities could be lost.
The United military forces of me are acutely interested in this device you describe for warfare.
But it would only work on prude countries.
France would scoff at such an attack, they have raunchier shampoo commercials. And Scandinavian countries wouldn't even bat an eye.
Finally, a way to obliterate Utah once and for all
"OnlyFans model flashing the so-called portal. Another "very drunk" woman was filmed rubbing her behind against the screen, while a different video shows a man exposing his own derrière.
One person on the Irish side went as far as to show the New Yorkers images of 9/11 on his phone, according to The Guardian."
Yeaaah. Not just boobs
The horror of the human body. Hide it, seal it and be ashamed of it.
Well, the 9/11 wasn't about the human body. Rubbing ass against the screen is outright unsanitary.
Definitely tasteless. But hardly the worst thing I've seen someone post in an online space.
I might argue the root of the problem is anonymity.
I doubt it was tasteless. It probably tasted like screen
Does it really need to be sanitary?
I mean, people aren't expected to eat off it or something are they?
But it was >20 years ago. We might as well be showing them pictures of the Troubles.
Everyone knows that if children are exposed to breasts between ages 3 and 17 they will go blind.
I literally wear clothes everyday. I'm doing my part.
i mean, the problem isn't the portal in those cases, and i think the portal is a very cool idea -- imo, the fact that these people get in the news for it is probably why they're doing it, it's just one way to get people's attention by doing outrageous stuff around a new attraction
it's nothing new, and eventually dies off, and there are probably also many events of people being nice to each other that go unreported
edit: also, yeah, showing body parts generally shouldn't be considered that harshly imo - of you're forcing people to look at them, they're probably not pretty, but I wouldn't call those "vulgaire" either
To be fair to the yanks, you sowed us nice boobies and we showed you our pale arses, cocaine and videos of 9/11.
This girl should not get the blame here.
How did New York come out sounding like the wholesome part of this story?
What is more wholesome than sharing baby feeders? Who doesn't love baby feeders?
I like them
Checks out
Seriously it's one of the few things we as humanity can all agree are nice.
The US isn't half as bad Lemmy makes it out to be.
Yeah as a non American I think a lot is it is because most of Europe ignores its problems - you'll hear endless stuff about racism in America but very little about it In France so it feels like the US is worse but France is way way more racist, like absurdly so.
I heard that during COVID lockdowns, couples in Paris parks were left-alone if they were caucasian while the non-caucasians we beaten by the cops without any warning whatsoever.
They said New York, not the US. New York is it's whole own little world. And it's pretty raw.
By being sober.
ish.
when I read where they put the portal I had the exact same thought as everyone else who knows what town is like on o'connell street. why didn't they just put it on talbot st
Or into Phoenix Park! Where peace and tranquility reside, inner city wild life
woman
Here's the thing. If people aren't allowed to have fun with your intercontinental portal, why even have it at all?
Also, how hasn't anyone learned that this kind of thing is an absolute guarantee?
"It's happened countless times. But it might not this time!"
Dorks. Put that shit back up. It's neat!
Fun fact: Women being topless is not illegal in NYC.
*As long as it's not in furtherance of a business interest.
I think the shutting down after such "incidents" is the final expression in this piece of art.
"A connected world is great, as long as that connection includes approved messages only."
Here we are! Some people get this! Well said!
Seriously and it's a hot topic so it's going to get this sort of attention.
Let it sit for a while and it'll become normalized and these sort of antics will die off.
Just let people express themselves as long as it's not dangerous holy crap.
Isn’t the purpose of the art piece to demonstrate the human condition across an ocean? Flashing/mooning/offensive memes, that is what humans do. This should stay up and more should be put in place. How much more culturally connected would cities in the US be linked to other UK or EU cities?
Why stop at EU? We should have these everywhere and have them change locations randomly every day
Def not a bad idea, the more cities around the world the better. I also like the idea of sister cities, if they were to stick to a single portal to portal connection. I’m in Minneapolis, maybe match it with a similarly sized city across the pond. Could root for each others sports teams, offer support in trying times, develop a digital bond.
Yeah a lot of towns in Europe are 'twinned' with another European town - i always assume its just an excuse for the councilor to get free holidays when making the agreement but your idea makes it sound really interesting, a portal could be really cool.
City "twinning" goes beyond the EU. And it can happen for all kinds of reasons. My favourite example is the towns of Dull, Scotland, Boring, Oregon and Bland, New South Wales.
The biggest problem in Europe in the past was the constant war between the nations, Germany and France in particular. How do You reduce the willingness to go fight each other. You create connections.
Economic connections in the form of the coal and steel alliance, which evolved to become the EU.
Personal connections by connecting the people between the countries with multinational friendship. Twin cities are one tool creating the friendship. By having regular exchanges between students and adults. You don't want to go to war with a friend you visited every summer. That's also the reason for the Erasmus program, where you can have an exchange semester at university.
All of those were implemented since the WW2 and they seem to work. There hasn't ever been a period of such a long peace in central Europe.
"humans ruin everything" yea that the point and art
Imagine some dude would have pulled out his dick instead, what do you think the reaction would have been?
That's not the same thing. What would be the same is if some dude pulled his shirt up to show his bare chest. What do you think the reaction would have been in that case?
Depends if they're just flopping it flaccidly from side to side or angrily masturbating. Same goes for if a woman were to start rubbing one off. Nudity isn't sexual, but what you do with it could be.
I’m not entirely sure what the going MO is for male exhibitionists because I have never felt the desire to engage in that sort of behavior, but I’m fairly sure even a floppy dong is probably enough to catch you a charge in most parts of the country.
And do we know if the lady in the OP simply pulled her tatas out to get them some fresh air or whether she wiggled and bounced them suggestively? I didn’t watch the video so I don’t want to make any assumptions, but the stills I’ve seen seem to suggest there was quite a bit of enthusiasm at work.
Ava Louise, for those curious. Her/her tits are.. not really my thing.. Like a Bratz doll with Thanksgiving turkeys stuffed into her chest.
That's a very accurate description.
But she sure lacks attention.
You know this kinda makes me think that it would've been funnier if they connected two cities that hate each other more than just like, dublin and new york, which I can't really think of as ever having had beef. Maybe NYC and chicago, or something. You can't really put something like this in texas or LA because nobody fuckin walks anywhere, unless maybe you put it in like long beach or like some random part of Austin or something. Seattle? Does Seattle have beef with anywhere? On the other side, could we connect Dublin with like, London or something? Maybe some city in northern Ireland?
Something like outside Yankee Stadium and Fenway Park, and they’d probably be destroyed in minutes…
That'd be fuckin awesome though, imagine the chaos you could just ambiently cause, especially if you made it out of like, bulletproof glass and concrete, and maybe included some self-cleaning mechanism, or set the camera back from the glass a ways, so people couldn't obfuscate the camera or the image. Could be the move, could be the play.
Seattle has beef with Portland. Hippie beef. Impossible beef.
Mississippi and Bagdad
You'd just have the religious nutjobs get the thing shut down in the name of "saving the children."
I don't know what the Baghdad citizen would do though.
(In case this goes over people's heads, I'm calling the Mississippians the religious nutjobs)
Moscow and DC. What could possibly go wrong.
This would be a pretty one sided fight.
Now DC to Beijing. That would be spicy.
I don't think the average Chinese person is as rabidly nationalistic as Americans and Russians though.
Give me Tehran and Jacksonville. Miami and Havana. Nashville and Pyongyang.
The thing would be shot down in secs. OH NO COMUNISTS. Ratatata skrskr
Equally likely to be shot down by Russian soldiers for spreading "western lies"
Then suddenly replace the LED screen with an actual wormhole bridge and watch the melee from afar!
Airlines hate this one weird trick
I fear, stones would quickly put an end to such portals.
Miami and San Francisco would be excellent
But make both of them out of bulletproof glass
Toronto and Boston would be funny as hell LOL
Belfast and Dublin would have been nice.
Dublin and Rome
THIS IS WHY WE CAN'T HAVE NICE... hey those are nice.
“One person on the Irish side went as far as to show the New Yorkers images of 9/11 on his phone, according to The Guardian.”
oh boy.
I don't know what they were hoping to accomplish, a lot of Americans practically observe 9/11 as a holiday, complete with documentaries showing off all the footage we have
Should have just told the New Yorkers their Pizza is over rated.
WW3 material for New Yorkers, right there
Are new yorkers really that high strung about it? I would think if anything they'd get more mad about like, insults to hot dog carts or something, but that might strike me more as a philly or chicago kind of thing, come to think of it. Maybe bagels? I feel like the average new york bagel is probably a better kind of undersung food hero, compared to the average overpriced to shit new york slice.
Bold of you to assume anyone outside the USA ever even heard about it.
With how loud new yorkers are, I'd be surprised if they went bragging about their pizza to Italians.
Variations on a Cloud
Yeah New Yorkers are pretty well known for being shrinking violets.
You know what? That took waaaayyyy longer than I thought it would to happen.
This thing is on the Irish radio every day since they opened it. Great idea, and sounds like people are having fun.
people are having fun
*were having fun
It's New York. What did they think would happen?
It's legal to be topless in New York. She didn't commit a crime or anything.
It’s legal to be topless in NYC as long as it’s not for “sexual reasons” (whatever that means)— so this particular case might be something of a legal debate… but I don’t see any cop bothering to arrest her for it. Shockingly, they don’t care.
Yeah, you’d be surprised about how much that wouldn’t fly with the NYPD. I watch Matthew Silver run into the Union Sq. Whole Foods in a Speedo in a legit performance art piece.
The cops had little respect for that.
I did, tho. After he managed to escape, we met up after and smoked a spliff. Then I made it to class at Parsons.
That guy was very interesting to know while I was an undergrad at design school.
Did I mention legality? I don't find topless necessarily rude the same way I don't find hands to be rude, but if someone gave me the middle finger, that changes things.
Whenever I've been in NYC, there's always someone desperately trying to be seen.
Well, that was one of the instances of abuse of the portal. Another was a mooning, and yet another was a man showing NYC citizens pictures of 9/11 over the portal.
I assume they never thought that so many people would start being a punk-ass because they think the magical screen makes them safe from all persecution like the one at home. It is trained behavior.
think the magical screen makes them safe from all persecution
People do this shit face to face all the time. It's only easier to record like this. Same with the internet. It didn't make people into assholes. It just made it easier to record.
The busy main streets of NYC and Dublin certainly have seen some great and terrible things, but these recordings were all published by nearby peers and not the company. There isn't much incentive for breaking indecent exposure laws even with the screen, but you can't pretend it was ever so common.
Do they think NY is censored from 9/11 like China from Tieneman Square?
Or just they think its going to bother anyone?
I think it was one of those things like "This is what happened the last time you talked shit overseas" statement. In which case, that dude might be on a no-fly list now.
I'm pretty sure that New Yorkers knows what 9/11 looks like. I think people dramatically overestimate how much Americans care about stuff like this.
Can't blame them for thinking that, we built a monument for 2,996 people and then waged a war over it that killed 100,000, not including a lot of our own.
The horror if all the OF thots would've swarmed the portal after this incident.
Edit fixed typo
this incidence.
'incident', right?
Yeah, you're correct.
New Yorkers and Dubliners are supposed to come between breasts, not have breasts come between them.
I’m sure this was killed by bitchy socially conservative sheltering types who freak out about anything that doesn’t fit in their small minded view of morality.
Lemmy is full of those people too, there's a whole thread of them angry that openI might allow NSFW content.
Oh, they must remember the threads discussing finding child pornography in the image generation model training data.
Tbf she had to take credit for it, it’s not like most OF models would be recognized in public. Hell, most internet celebrities would go relatively unnoticed in public.
I heard somewhere that only the Top 2% of OF-"models" make 80% of all the revenue and the rest hardly make enough to pay for a meal a day.
Have a friend that does it. According to her, it’s nothing to pay your bills with, but if you just want some extra cash to get yourself something nice, it works a treat.
There was a similar thing done as an art installation between London and New York called the Telectroscope in 2008. Apparently it was the site of a few marriage proposals.
Look how far we’ve come…
I bet some people flashed that one and such too, but I could find no indication that it was shut down because of that.
It feels like society has backslid tremendously on some freedoms in the past 15 years, particularly where it comes to prudishness.
These days we even have otherwise progressive people jumping on the prude bandwagon along with hyper religious controlling anti feminists and it just makes for such strange bedfellows.
Sometimes I wish I was born as a merino wool farmer in 13 century Spain
...and you've been recruited into the Crusades. God speed holly warrior, may you strike the infidels down.
Very different perspective indeed. The OP article is sensational and refers to the "chaos" that ensure.
Toplessness is legal in New York, but I don't think flashing would be. Not sure about the laws in Dublin.
This was obviously a business move to draw fans to the OF site. The better article didn't publicize the woman's name.
Yeah, it's the same dummy that licked an airplane seat during covid.
Ah, sounds like someone going for the herostratus approach to fame
"Model"
I really don't know why the people who set this up didn't foresee this sort of thing happening in a link between New York and Dublin. Maybe if you want to hope this sort of thing doesn't happen, link up Champaign, Illinois to Uppsala, Sweden.
What so Sven can walk by and see an obese man in a trucker hat double fisting Big Gulps? On second thought sure, it’d be a zoo attraction for the Swedes.
“Look at the things Americans do… and they have paid healthcare!”
“They have so many trucks but all they haul is themselves!”
Fantastic username btw
Thanks! Honestly I’ve enjoyed A LOT of the usernames I see on Lemmy, y’all out here doing it with funny and creative names
Ah yes, let's link up a college town with a bunch of drunk kids with a complete lack of inhibition and a similar perceived lack of consequences. It will surely work great.
Is there a public website with the two sides of the portal viewable?
Not anymore.
Damn. Now we'll never get to see boobs on the internet.
We do not know who else may be watching.
-Gandalf
One person on the Irish side went as far as to show the New Yorkers images of 9/11 on his phone.
Fucking savage.
Best...episode...of Stargate...ever....
Why is there so much whatever over a big tv/monitor, and a webcam...I really don't get humans fascinations with this when they presumably all own the same stuff at home.
Yeah.. Chatroulette never had any of these issues. I just don't get the huplah over boobs.
The fascination is that you have an audience.
i don't get why they couldn't've done this in like a more somewhere else like a modern art art museum or a mall or whatever.
You know what I did see over the portal in a video a friend shared on our group chat? Someone mocking 9/11 in Dublin. Nothing upsets New Yorkers worse.
Irish have experience at banter. They had to put up with England for all eternity. Also, they're drunk.
OMG Boobs! Does nobody think of the Children?!?!?!?!
Pathetic

I don't think you've been to Ireland in a long long time if you think the church has any moral or real power over society as a whole here.
well she wasn't in dublin, this whole thing is dumb lol
Might read past the headline.
Probably wasn’t the only time. People generally being people is probably why they shut it down.

But... people being people got to ruin all the fun. So... I don't suppose I'll be seeing one of these any time soon.
Blah.
It's not a genuine view into my city, unless a homeless guy stabs it and takes a shit in front of it
There's another such portal between the Polish city of Lublin and the capital of Lithuania, Vilnius.
https://wikipedia.org/wiki/Vilnius-Lublin_Portal
Isn’t the purpose of the art piece to demonstrate the human condition across an ocean? Flashing/mooning/offensive memes, that is what humans do. This should stay up and more should be put in place. How much more culturally connected would cities in the US be linked to other UK or EU cities?

Could be the move, could be the play.
Seattle has beef with Portland. Hippie beef. Impossible beef.
Mississippi and Bagdad
You'd just have the religious nutjobs get the thing shut down in the name of "saving the children."
I don't know what the Baghdad citizen would do though.
(In case this goes over people's heads, I'm calling the Mississippians the religious nutjobs)
Moscow and DC. What could possibly go wrong.
This would be a pretty one sided fight.
Now DC to Beijing. That would be spicy.
I don't think the average Chinese person is as rabidly nationalistic as Americans and Russians though.
Give me Tehran and Jacksonville. Miami and Havana. Nashville and Pyongyang.
The thing would be shot down in secs. OH NO COMUNISTS. Ratatata skrskr
Equally likely to be shot down by Russian soldiers for spreading "western lies"
Then suddenly replace the LED screen with an actual wormhole bridge and watch the melee from afar!
Airlines hate this one weird trick
I fear, stones would quickly put an end to such portals.
Miami and San Francisco would be excellent
But make both of them out of bulletproof glass
Toronto and Boston would be funny as hell LOL
Belfast and Dublin would have been nice.
Dublin and Rome
THIS IS WHY WE CAN'T HAVE NICE... hey those are nice.
“One person on the Irish side went as far as to show the New Yorkers images of 9/11 on his phone, according to The Guardian.”
oh boy.
I don't know what they were hoping to accomplish, a lot of Americans practically observe 9/11 as a holiday, complete with documentaries showing off all the footage we have
Should have just told the New Yorkers their Pizza is over rated.
WW3 material for New Yorkers, right there
Are new yorkers really that high strung about it? I would think if anything they'd get more mad about like, insults to hot dog carts or something, but that might strike me more as a philly or chicago kind of thing, come to think of it. Maybe bagels? I feel like the average new york bagel is probably a better kind of undersung food hero, compared to the average overpriced to shit new york slice.
Bold of you to assume anyone outside the USA ever even heard about it.
With how loud new yorkers are, I'd be surprised if they went bragging about their pizza to Italians.
Variations on a Cloud
Yeah New Yorkers are pretty well known for being shrinking violets.
You know what? That took waaaayyyy longer than I thought it would to happen.
This thing is on the Irish radio every day since they opened it. Great idea, and sounds like people are having fun.
*were having fun
It's New York. What did they think would happen?
It's legal to be topless in New York. She didn't commit a crime or anything.
It’s legal to be topless in NYC as long as it’s not for “sexual reasons” (whatever that means)— so this particular case might be something of a legal debate… but I don’t see any cop bothering to arrest her for it. Shockingly, they don’t care.
Not sex, pure marketing
She’d just argue that it’s “art” probably…
Yeah, you’d be surprised about how much that wouldn’t fly with the NYPD. I watch Matthew Silver run into the Union Sq. Whole Foods in a Speedo in a legit performance art piece.
The cops had little respect for that.
I did, tho. After he managed to escape, we met up after and smoked a spliff. Then I made it to class at Parsons.
That guy was very interesting to know while I was an undergrad at design school.
I suck at art!
But not Dublin! Those catholic bastards…
I’m a catholic, but I’m just addicted to cats.
8 out of 10?
I too love drinking cathol
Did I mention legality? I don't find topless necessarily rude the same way I don't find hands to be rude, but if someone gave me the middle finger, that changes things.
Whenever I've been in NYC, there's always someone desperately trying to be seen.
Well, that was one of the instances of abuse of the portal. Another was a mooning, and yet another was a man showing NYC citizens pictures of 9/11 over the portal.
I assume they never thought that so many people would start being a punk-ass because they think the magical screen makes them safe from all persecution like the one at home. It is trained behavior.
People do this shit face to face all the time. It's only easier to record like this. Same with the internet. It didn't make people into assholes. It just made it easier to record.
The busy main streets of NYC and Dublin certainly have seen some great and terrible things, but these recordings were all published by nearby peers and not the company. There isn't much incentive for breaking indecent exposure laws even with the screen, but you can't pretend it was ever so common.
Do they think NY is censored from 9/11 like China from Tieneman Square?
Or just they think its going to bother anyone?
I think it was one of those things like "This is what happened the last time you talked shit overseas" statement. In which case, that dude might be on a no-fly list now.
I'm pretty sure that New Yorkers knows what 9/11 looks like. I think people dramatically overestimate how much Americans care about stuff like this.
Can't blame them for thinking that, we built a monument for 2,996 people and then waged a war over it that killed 100,000, not including a lot of our own.
Leave it up, you cowards
The horror if all the OF thots would've swarmed the portal after this incident.
Edit fixed typo
'incident', right?
Yeah, you're correct.
New Yorkers and Dubliners are supposed to come between breasts, not have breasts come between them.
I’m sure this was killed by bitchy socially conservative sheltering types who freak out about anything that doesn’t fit in their small minded view of morality.
Lemmy is full of those people too, there's a whole thread of them angry that openI might allow NSFW content.
Oh, they must remember the threads discussing finding child pornography in the image generation model training data.
And that’s why we can’t have nice things.
I can't believe people were subjected to boobs, unbelievable
they're gonna need therapy
Desensitisation therapy of course
For a very short moment there were two nice things though 🤔
Exactly, bigots are the reason we can't have nice things.
Meanwhile, Vilnius-Lublin portal is working with no incidents.
it's fun to wander around the old town and stumble upon the portal and see people waving at you from the other side.
What kind of journalism is that? Not even a picture of those "big apples" so the reader can judge for himself.
She called them potatoes, not apples.
tmz seem to have come up with apples. BTW I'd prefer apples to potatoes, but that's just me.
She said homegrown potatoes, because she was flashing people in Ireland.
Of course something this genuinely cool is going to be misused. Of course.
I don't see how this is misuse, some people are just terrified of sex and nudity.
It just happened to be Ireland, one of the only super Catholic countries left.
And the US of A the future far right theocracy.
someone showed their boobs 😔 a dark day for humanity indeed
OH THE HUMANITY
Did you mean:
Mammality
Why not just leave it be, no-one is being hurt
Ava Louise, for those interested.
Ava Louise, the woman who had gluteal implants and now has an ass so big that she can't fit into regular seats or clothing. Humans are fucking weird.
i mean, it's cool we have science to provide that to the people who want it imo
That’s fine, I doubt she considered what StupidBrotherInLaw thought anyway.
So clearly her plan is working
Tbf she had to take credit for it, it’s not like most OF models would be recognized in public. Hell, most internet celebrities would go relatively unnoticed in public.
I heard somewhere that only the Top 2% of OF-"models" make 80% of all the revenue and the rest hardly make enough to pay for a meal a day.
Have a friend that does it. According to her, it’s nothing to pay your bills with, but if you just want some extra cash to get yourself something nice, it works a treat.
There was a similar thing done as an art installation between London and New York called the Telectroscope in 2008. Apparently it was the site of a few marriage proposals.
Look how far we’ve come…
I bet some people flashed that one and such too, but I could find no indication that it was shut down because of that.
It feels like society has backslid tremendously on some freedoms in the past 15 years, particularly where it comes to prudishness.
These days we even have otherwise progressive people jumping on the prude bandwagon along with hyper religious controlling anti feminists and it just makes for such strange bedfellows.
Sometimes I wish I was born as a merino wool farmer in 13 century Spain
...and you've been recruited into the Crusades. God speed holly warrior, may you strike the infidels down.
For those curious, here's from the other side. https://www.rte.ie/news/2024/0513/1448890-dublin-portal/
Not the view people are going to be hoping for..
Hehehe
Very different perspective indeed. The OP article is sensational and refers to the "chaos" that ensure.
Toplessness is legal in New York, but I don't think flashing would be. Not sure about the laws in Dublin.
This was obviously a business move to draw fans to the OF site. The better article didn't publicize the woman's name.
Yeah, it's the same dummy that licked an airplane seat during covid.
Ah, sounds like someone going for the herostratus approach to fame
"Model"
I really don't know why the people who set this up didn't foresee this sort of thing happening in a link between New York and Dublin. Maybe if you want to hope this sort of thing doesn't happen, link up Champaign, Illinois to Uppsala, Sweden.
What so Sven can walk by and see an obese man in a trucker hat double fisting Big Gulps? On second thought sure, it’d be a zoo attraction for the Swedes.
“Look at the things Americans do… and they have paid healthcare!”
“They have so many trucks but all they haul is themselves!”
Fantastic username btw
Thanks! Honestly I’ve enjoyed A LOT of the usernames I see on Lemmy, y’all out here doing it with funny and creative names
Ah yes, let's link up a college town with a bunch of drunk kids with a complete lack of inhibition and a similar perceived lack of consequences. It will surely work great.
Is there a public website with the two sides of the portal viewable?
Not anymore.
Damn. Now we'll never get to see boobs on the internet.
-Gandalf
Fucking savage.
Best...episode...of Stargate...ever....
Why is there so much whatever over a big tv/monitor, and a webcam...I really don't get humans fascinations with this when they presumably all own the same stuff at home.
Yeah.. Chatroulette never had any of these issues. I just don't get the huplah over boobs.
The fascination is that you have an audience.
i don't get why they couldn't've done this in like a more somewhere else like a modern art art museum or a mall or whatever.
proofread your comments
What the fuck
*you're
Love the downvotes from oblivious peeps
She was only doing God's work, those heathens in Dublin will never understand
Honestly shes not all that.
Why does there always have to be that small group of people who ruin the fun for everyone else?
Seriously somebody showing their nipples, even if they are female nipples doesn’t actually ruin anything for anyone ever.
It is just people ruining it for everyone by having a moral panic about nipples.
That's what I was saying. Even though flashing is kinda rude, I was talking about the people who shut it down.
You are talking about the people that shut it down; not the flashers. Let people be people. That's how we are; accept it.
I mean, he just showed 9/11 images, but flashing??? Wtf women!
Oh so that is what that was.. I walked by it several times
I have to wonder if people being jerks under anonymity is not because of the anonymity itself, but because of the lack of consequences.
The people messing around aren't anonymous, but it's not like anyone can do anything to them from that far away
I swear you lemmiers are disappointing me. No one posting source for this lady and her boobs that shutdown a trans-atlantic portal?
If this were reddit, someone might have posted source of this daring lady.
I'm will to bet 4chan has all her leaked OF stuff posted already
Maybe people here have actually seen real boobs and not that excited about pictures of someone else's.
Tends to happen as you grow up and get into actual relationships with women.
I braved going on to Yahoo and it says her name is Ava Louise.
My lemmgga! This is her! https://www.instagram.com/avalouiise?igsh=MzRlODBiNWFlZA==
Damn. She's plastic. :(
You know what I did see over the portal in a video a friend shared on our group chat? Someone mocking 9/11 in Dublin. Nothing upsets New Yorkers worse.
Irish have experience at banter. They had to put up with England for all eternity. Also, they're drunk.
Reminds me of that scene in "The Wolf of Wall Street".
Good times.
This reads like a National Lampoons film. Were the Griswold's present?
