I heard two people arguing about whether or not someone farted.
that we should worry about the feelings of Nazis.
Make nazis Afraid Again
“Look man, all I’m saying is that if it wasn’t for that song most people wouldn’t even know how to spell bananas”.
bananananana*
*Nanny Ogg knew how to start spelling “banana,” but didn’t know how you stopped.
If specific people existed when they where right in front of them existing. Those people are LGBT people and it’s happening to much.
Also, are you perchance plural? So am i :)
Shouldn’t that be “So are we”?
Good catch!
Yes I am… We are. I use I instead of we because people don’t understand it and it’s easier in online spaces to just use I instead of we.
Yeah, I agree
What a stupid argument indeed. 😓 I knew someone who told their friend, TO MY FACE, that non-binary people don’t exist. I guess I’m not real.
Not one I overheard but one were I was overheard. In Paris at a restaurant where my girlfriend and I (anglophones) commented on the couples baby beside us. She said it was such a cute baby. I countered the most babies are cute so it should go without saying. You really only have to comment when they are butt ugly like in Seinfeld. It was a fun discussion which made us both laugh. Mid meal the couple got up and said in English that they enjoyed it too.
That’s kind of wholesome :)
“it was an awkward gesture or autism or someting…”
I have a friend who said “misunderstood autistic billionaire”
They use xitter on a daily basis and apparently just write off all the pro Nazi content
Your friend might be a Nazi.
Jeff Foxworthy has “You might be a redneck”, and the current government has “You might be a nazi”
What the heck?
I speak Russian due to having lived under Soviet occupstion and constantly overhear Russian tourists while traveling in Asia and honestly I wish I couldn’t understand because they argue over the dumbest shit. Now I’m in Thailand and the theme is price measuring everything down to the cents. I’ve heard several loud arguments over whether a thing is cheaper here than at home etc it’s so weird. I get that Russia is going through an economic crisis but why you’re traveling at all then.
Whether the Newport Jazz Festival was in Europe, because she knew it was in Europe, because that’s the only time she’d been to Europe.
Difficulty rating: we were within 100 miles of Newport, Rhode Island, at the time. 2 hours in a car.
Rhode Island is Europe, right?
Maybe soon they’ll annex, but currently no. RI might hope.
I mean the whole area is New England! It’s got England right in the name!
Not an argument but I once heard my neighbor casually (but loudly) discuss with someone how she could only orgasm anally
she was just letting you know.
“I have an open
backdoor policy” - op’s neighbour.
Hey, don’t judge.
I’m not hear to kink-shame. It was just surprising to overhear
So… is she single?
Overheard on a game chat recently. Two guys arguing whether 100 guys could take on a silverback gorilla. One of them insisted that silverbacks have impenetrable skin lol.
armed?
human’s technology is our evolutionary advantage. a single human- even a weak one- could kill a gorilla if it had an appropriate rifle or shotgun.
unarmed? dude might have a point… I’m not sure a hundred people could fight a gorilla at the same time.
They have way more strength muscle and much less endurance muscle. 1v1 x50 followed by 5v1 might work
Are we talking human-shaped automatons or actual humans? Cause if you tell me I’m up first to 1v1 that gorilla unarmed, I’m noping the fuck out of there.
also, I’m not sure we could muster enough strength to actually harm it without some sort of tool.
I figure after it rips the first guy to shredds, everybody else decides it’s a stupid idea and the gorilla wins by default.
Unarmed lol
“I could take a gorilla easy. What i woukd do is circle around the gorilla, dodging its attacks until it wore itself out then throw it into a sleeper hold until it was down for the count” - some guy who got his shit wrecked by a gorilla
“Grandpa, Israel isn’t a state, it’s a country!”
This was a woman in her 20s, if I had to guess
I don’t think that’s weird. A lot of people don’t know that “the state” means “the country” unless you are specifically talking about individual states within a country. I can see how that could be confusing for somebody who doesn’t know better.
I’m reminded of when I was in like 8th grade or something and I was confused about how the UK can be a country but England and Scotland and Wales and Northern Ireland are also countries. Similar concept.
It’s a uniquely American problem because all those stupid states had to unite
I was sitting in a restaurant, when the people on the next table discussed how to suppress certain topics from a minister-level EU meetings, as one person wanted to delay any action on that. The discussion also involved passing an envelope, and the one person covering the rather substantial bill.
Not one that I overheard but one that I was involved in:
I said that I didn’t like bright yellow. This apparently was extremely offensive to the friend I was dating at the time and he had to convince me that I was wrong and there is no room for opinion on the matter of color preferences.
A coworker insisted that preferring a silver- colored phone over a black one is racist.
I’m curious what your neighbor thinks about a nice tie-dye?
I don’t know where people come up with these things.
Not exactly an argument, but I once overheard a restaurant owner bribing a cop. It was an Italian restaurant in San Francisco. Kind of unsettling, but the food was great, and reasonably priced. 4 stars.
I was walking through own of the dodgier parts of my city fairly late at night with not too many people around. I could see these 2 drunk weirdo guys with a kind of homeless vibe. There was an older guy and a younger dude, sitting on a bench, I could hear the older guy. Imagine this with a thick crocodile Dundee Aussie accent.
“I don’t believe it, I CAN’T believe it, after all I’ve done for you. I was nice to you. I bought you cheese, I… … …”
An awkward 4 to 5 second silence followed as it slowly dawned on the older guy that his list of benevolent acts only had 1 item before he followed up with
“I bought you CHEESE mate!”
The nerve of that guy’s friend… he bought him CHEESE!
I was in Spain, waiting outside a tournament venue for Magic: The Gathering. Two guys were talking, presumably in Spanish. I knew no spanish, but I could tell the one guy was really excited, almost choking back a laugh while speaking quickly and loudly before he held out his hand vertically, swung it left and right like a table tennis paddle while loudly exclaiming “RAGARAGARAGARAGA”.
The other guy was listening closely with a completely unfazed expression.
Their conversation continued.
At that point, I started to wonder: what were they talking about? What kind of conversation could lead to that motion and that complimentary sound to be adequate? Why was the other guy seemingly so unamused when the first guy was so excited?
This happened probably around 10 years ago, and it bothers me to this day. I will never know for sure, of course, but I have yet to think of a single topic which could reasonably prompt that interaction.
Maybe the one guy was just telling the story of how he overheard someone with a ping pong paddle saying RAGARAGARAGARAGARAGARAGA
