NSFW Warning. For the uninitiated: Back in the early internet (2006-2009), there was a video a man posted (somewhere, but it was circulated on 4chan) of himself slowly lowering his ass onto a Mason jar, into his rectum. The glass shattered mid way through, and blood streamed out of his asshole. It was horrific, and memorable. Kind of like 9/11 part two… Never forget.
I want to just touch on what made it memorable for me. This insane beast of a man quietly started removing glass from his asshole. He was stoic and focused. I have no clue how you react to something like that rationally, but homie pulled it off.
“One man one jar”, I think, was the given video title.

I’m 100% convinced that if Christ came today the majority of white American Christians would call him a demon and one of them will end up shooting him. Especially if he came back as a man of color that spread anti-capitalist ideas and hung out with the poor, sick, and unwanted. They’d never, ever, tolerate that.
IF Christianity is true, a large amount of souls of self-proclaimed “Christians” are in danger of damnation. They are actually doing Satan’s work for him. The issue are the ones 100% certain they are “saved” while spouting racist, evil things at the same time. How do you talk to people like that? How do you convince them that they are in fact 100% wrong and likely going to the same hell they claim everyone else is going to? I’m an atheist, so most wouldn’t even take me seriously.
There was actually an opening to an episode of American Gods that has that exact scenario. He literally walks across the Rio Grande and after he gets to shore a bunch of hilbillies with religious iconography alongside their confederate flags roll up in their lifted trucks and shoot him with a fully automatic weapon.
Makes me wonder how many racists watched that episode and thought to themselves “that would never be me” while fully supporting the mentality behind it.
Better take another look at the Bible, because Jesus disagrees. In fact, he is kind of a fetishist about all the suffering he will visit on those who don’t worship him.
A lot of Christian denominations would disagree with you on this. It is also a bit absurd to make absolute claims about what Christianity is and is not because it varies greatly from denomination to denomination (none of which has a monopoly on their interpretation of the bible).
47 And if your eye causes you to stumble, pluck it out. It is better for you to enter the kingdom of God with one eye than to have two eyes and be thrown into hell, 48 where
You forgot the best past. He hung out with a group of men and one woman, and the one woman wasn’t any of the men’s girlfriend. Conservative Christians would perhaps thought this was an unnatural arrangement.
Yeah, that’s what I always think. For me (German), Christianity is mostly acceptance of other people, empathy, caring for people who have it worse than you, loving your next, etc. Which in policies is… being for welfare, donating, accepting LGBTQ+ and supporting them, etc.
Evangelicals have always confused me because they are against everything Jesus stood for.
This is the one that gets me. If I’m doom scrolling a community and accidentally comment on a 3yr old post, it shouldn’t get catapulted into hot. Hot should be filtering out anything older than 2 days
Ah, the YouTube experience. Jeez, you guys are still talking about this? Wait, no, no you’re not.
Reddit was getting pretty bad about surfacing ancient threads there, for a while. I thought they were back on their bullshit about Gamestop but no, three year old thread.
Considering I’ve enjoyed some of the “old” videos the algorithm sometimes sends my way, I’m not always disappointed when I find one I hadn’t seen before.
The techie guys are also the ones with verified Twitter accounts and Elon Musk balls on their mouths in my experience so i can’t say i’m surprised if they deleted your post :/
If you guys really wanted to let Spez know how mad you are you would STOP GOING TO REDDIT… Every time “fuck spez” shows up on this page it just means a bunch of people got on Reddit and boosted their numbers which makes them look more valuable to investors for the IPO.
Do I really need to remind you that Spez or anyone else who works for Reddit COULD TAKE THIS DOWN AT LITERALLY ANYTIME THEY FEEL LIKE IT?
Every time you go there and write “fuck spez” I’m sure he goes to sleep crying into the giant pile of money he sleeps on
I’ll say it once more, if you want Spez to pay DO NOT GO ON REDDIT EVEN TO TELL HIM WHAT A FUCKING ASSHOLE HE IS, THAT IS LITERALLY EXACTLY WHAT HE WANTS YOU TO DO
This doesn’t make alot of sense to me. Doubt all that was created by Lemmy users that logged in to reddit-that’s simply Reddit users? Can’t be good for Reddit that this is going on such a large scale. And if nothing else … Great amusement lol
Trying to convert those metrics into revenue is what started this whole thing in the first place. If they were so effective at turning any engagement to their advantage, we’d still all be engaging there via whatever third party app we were using before they got disabled.
Have you tried to actually go to r/place? You can’t even view the page on your phone unless you’re using their garbage official app. It’s definitely meant to try and increase app engagement
See I think you have it twisted. We need a good mix of both.
If site traffic plummets thats bad for Spez, if place is a giant “fuck spez” banner and it gets reported on by tech news and legitimate financial news its also bad for spez.
If investors look at the blackout and the desperate scrambling for volunteers to mod subs, and a traffic decline AND the fact that the administration cant seem to do anything about some members turning place into a monkey shit fight at the zoo… Some of them might just realise that Reddit is a very risky investment.
I still say if this wasn’t exactly what the corporate management of Reddit wanted, then it would have been taken down by now though.
Why else would it exist? They’ve already proven that they won’t hesitate to censor/destroy anything that’s not in line with their plans for the IPO, so it doesn’t make sense that this one thing would be beyond their control in any way whatsoever.
