So true (sh.itjust.works)

Image transcription:

A photograph with text above it. Text reads: “when your friend is about to do something stupid but you kinda wanna see what’s gonna happen.” The photograph shows an octagonal “Stop” sign on the side of a road. The sign has a green background instead of the usual red one.

Some people utterly lack an instinct for self-preservation, like cave divers and base jumpers.

The high-rise parkour people are the biggest offenders.

We need more green strop signs in this world

Thank you.

I'm a school bus driver and one of the catholic schools I drop kids off at has a parking lot person that uses a handheld green stop sign to control kids and buses. It fucked me up the first time I saw it because I genuinely didn't know whether she meant I should stop or go. It was green because it had "Go Birds" written on the back side - one more reason not to root for the Philadelphia Eagles.

Looks better than red and still very visible.

Are these transcriptions auto generated or are they hand written every time? It's funny seeing such dry and academic descriptions of goofy images.

My drunk friend saying he can jump off the bike just fine (he lost some teeth)

[–] scottywh@lemmy.world 9 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (1 children)

That's a little too dark for me...

Teeth are important

Told him to not jump ¯_(ツ)_/¯ Was kinda curious if he'd manage though

[–] scottywh@lemmy.world 8 points 1 year ago

Maybe I'm overly sympathetic with your friend as someone who was reckless in my youth and also lost a number of teeth...

That's rough is all I'm saying

[–] scottywh@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

Damn dude...
