That kid won't visit his mom or take care of her while she's in a nursing home or hospital. Lol

never ever gently caress with kids on their birthdays or christmas, they literally can not emotionally cope and it fucks them up almost for life. Anyone with their birthday in December is almost guaranteed to be kind of messed up in the head, it's p sad.

Gross Dude posted:What was that giant roll of duct tape looking thing that was just rolling along that road? Atticus_1354 posted:Empty poly water tank. They are not very heavy since they are hollow. They are easy to roll on their side when you need to move them, so I guess the wind got it just right and sent it down the road. I thought it looked like a gigantic bale of hay.

Nuebot posted:My family once gave me a bottle of dirt for christmas because they thought it'd be funny to set me up for disappointment then give me the real present. It was pretty soul crushing, I won't lie and it was hard to be excited about something I really wanted after that, fighting back tears to say thank you for a bottle of loving dirt will really mess with your head. It wasn't even a nice bottle either. Maybe it was grandma's ashes.

Listen to all you sensitive babies. I bet that kid got real cake afterwards. The fact that he's so upset about a joke cake makes it even more funny.McSpergin posted:I laughed way too hard at this. Am I a terrible person? No.

We should at least wait until the kid gets his face smushed into the spongecake. That's when the real child abuse happens. A Bug posted:I think they told him it's a tarantula. I honestly can't say I wouldn't have the same reaction. Scratch that. I wouldn't even put my hand in the box in the first place.

I know the safety PSAs are from a few pages back, but I'm just catching up with this thread on my extra-hour-set-the-clocks-back Sunday: enjoy a very British PSA about why you shouldn't play on the train tracks: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=slJyhOEo-SY It looks like something produced by the Scarfolk Council, but my now 48 year old husband says it freaked him out as a little'un in the '70s.

Hahaha points for throwing rocks into the train. This is the weirdest loving PSA i've ever seen and quite possibly one of the most British things ever. I dunno why it so immediately goes all lord of the flies, but it sure does.

However, my younger brother and I have a long-standing tradition of buying each other the most hideous, poorly made dollar store or thrift shop figurines or toys for gift giving holidays, and it's become something I actually look forward to. We usually go for things that aim for cute but fail miserably, like a piggy bank in the shape of a grandpa or a puppy holding a sign with Time to Pee! written on it. Sure, we usually give each other books and records or whatever as well, but the horrible gifts are always the best. Last year I got a plush carrot with poorly stitched angry eyes, and I treasure it.

Cracked (yeah,  , I know) has an article today about why Youtube prank videos suck.Re: the British train PSA. I think my issue with it (viewing it through the lens of an adult who didn't have the benefit (???) of seeing it as a child) is that the kid sitting on the overpass daydreaming about his perfect train-murder Olympics really seems like a psychopath who doesn't learn anything at the end. His voiceovers talking about the events sound like he still thinks the whole thing is an awesome idea all the way through. Also, what up, fellow December birthday-havers. Mine is wedged conveniently in between Christmas and New Years. Everyone's burnt out from Christmas and gearing up for New Years celebrations, so nobody gives a gently caress about celebrating my birthday. Which is fine, I suppose, because now that I'm not a kid, I don't either. I have a friend with a May birthday who doesn't understand why I don't give poo poo one about mine.

Staryberry posted:This schadenfreude involves kids falling down. They are probably scarred for life. It's not "Children are incredibly fragile and will be broken if they suffer any hardship ever." The problem is that kids implicitly and unconditionally trust authority figures like their parents, and you can cause some major rifts if you gently caress with them for laughs. Not every kid ends up with problems, but it's a really easy way to do it. The absolute worst is if they have autism. A coworker of mine has an autistic son, who I know because he occasionally comes in to do menial jobs like shredding and dividing cards and booklets into smaller piles. He's incredibly gullible, to the point where his mom had to teach him "Sometimes, people are mean and are encouraging you to do something just because they want to laugh at you" because he's 15 and other students could still tell him poo poo like "The principal said you need to go stand on your head in the corner" and he'd just walk over and do it. But at the same time, she'll tell him incredibly unbelievable lies that he immediately believes until you tell him that it was just a joke. She does this because she knows how gullible he is and wants a laugh. I've been trying and failing to discourage her from counteracting her own attempts to stop him from being so easily hosed with.

To this day my mother hates me because I was due for exactly Valentines day. Instead I guess her body didn't want to push me out for another week, and she has never let me live that down. I ruined her having an excuse to throw extra special birthday parties. I'm not sure what I could or should have done as an unborn child but hey, mothers. They're loving crazy about the most inane poo poo.

You'd think after the first death the farmers would tell the kids to GTFO, but no, they just carry on.

Rondette posted:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P0GyRz_lOQA These are insanely awesome. The stone-faced adults just removing the kid's belongings from school/home/et cetera has to be the best part. Moral: if you gently caress up your farm safety, you never existed. At all. Do we have any more of these British ones? I've well acquainted with the American ones -- One Got Fat, the train ones on MST3k (why don't they look?) -- but the British ones are done with such a cruelty to them that makes it even more bizarre. EDIT: the most horrific one has to be the poisoning of the girl. The shrieking and imagined horror of it had to scar some kids. Good child actor, however.

Okay buy you're kinda missing the point of what I said? Kids loving up and hurting themselves is normal and an important part of learning about how the world works and how to navigate dangers. I'm talking about when parents are like "You know what? gently caress my kid's implicit trust in me. I'm going to give them sponges for their birthday and make fun of them when they get upset." It's not a whole lot different from bullying them in school, just minus any physical beatings.
