I was checking up on a curious community some of you may remember from another post a while ago, /r/AdrianoStudies, a group of Iranian backed internet detectives trying to uncover the secrets of alleged mossad agent and scat enthusiast pornographer Mike Adriano, known to gooners for his perverse, crass, radically unsensual and anally fixated filmography.

In the comments of this very not safe for life video https://old.reddit.com/r/AdrianoStudies/comments/1fivhlf/whos_up_for_some_tequilagh_shots_bradders/ of our fatherless damsel drinking shot after shot of jewrine, she can be found battling it out with her esteemed critics

Despite Sony's best attempts at becoming an even worse laughing stock and Nintendo's unending moral bankruptcy, Microsoft has somehow still managed to be the worst of the three when it comes to consoles. In fact, everybpdy memes the PS5 for having no games but nobody even knows the current gen xbox console (Xbox Series X One? idk) because quite honestly there's no reason to buy one - and with the plethora of xbox layoffs recently this trend might continue. In an interesting turn of events, Microsoft has put extra emphasis on its Xbox Research team and furthermore wants to reach out to devs; The idea, obviously, is to gather and implement the data from these devs as effectively as possible, and it's intended to affect everything from large studios to small independent developers. Interestingly, Team Xbox wants feedback from those who aren't currently shipping their games on Xbox as well, allowing for "fresh perspectives" in the process.

"If you are making video games, we're interested in hearing from you. If you aren't on Xbox, we'd love to know why. And honestly, if you are using our competitor's products, you probably have a great perspective we could learn from!"

"It's a bit like testing players who play games like yours – they are your target audience and you want to hear fresh perspectives because their expectations may differ from folks who are deep in your community."

tl;dr

If the majority of developers simply say "the sales of products on your console compare to the competition isn't enough to justify the cost of porting," I am not quite sure there is anything Microsoft can do about that.

Despite how things have turned on for the Xbox brand, MIcrosoft really did try hard this generation and it just didn't work.

Microsoft handled cross-gen way better than Sony

Microsoft provided a much better feature set for Series X|S over PlayStation

Microsoft released actual new games. Microsoft couldn't predict the reception of said games, but not one first-party game Microsoft released said "Remastered" or "Director's Cut" on the box nor did Microsoft charge $10 more for Series X|S upgrades.

It's honestly just over.

I once asked Sheldon about the robocalling scandal (the federal conservatives cheating in the election of 2011). This was back in 2012 while our kids were skiing at Otway in Jackrabbits. We were on opposite sides of the philosophical spectrum, and him being ex-military I presumed he was a law and order guy, but I was curious as to his views on conservatives cheating. His response to the cheating? "I don't care, we won." He was onboard 100%.When people say that there's no difference between the sides...... here is one difference I'm pretty sure most on the left, center and even some on the right would be horrified about. Ask yourself if this is the kind of guy we want representing us? Or is this the kind of guy Trumpy would approve of? (47)

There is a lesson here and that is that a growing number of Canadians are done with the "progressive agenda" and are blaming it for a lot of the troubles we are having. Whether they are right or not is irrelevant because we live in a democracy and if enough people believe the country should be run a certain way, that's the way it's going to be run.The warning bell was when Donald Trump won the Presidency in the US. It was convenient to blame Russia or racists or whatever but nobody really asked the question of whether or not there was actually something to worry about, and I think it's pretty clear that there is. Whether you like it or not, people don't want to be forced to take medicine, they don't want their daughters in the change rooms and washrooms with biological males and they don't want their tax dollars enriching people in other countries. They are sick of the elites looking down their noses at them and telling them that they know better than them, and that they are "on the... (1)

Well written, but it's unfortunate that the baser instincts of the voters are being appealed to.I think people should use the bathrooms they feel comfortable in. Not "biologically male or female" What's the harm? I'd feel ever more comfortable on a dark street with a transitioning individual than a heterosexual male. That's sad, but those are the ones who have given me issues and caused discomfort. For individuals who do not identify as heterosexual, I think they need acceptance, rather than accusations. I've lost friends to suicide bc they felt like society didn't accept them. Thats one of the leading causes of death for those individuals. Conservative continue to vilify them and make it "us versus them."Sheldon Clare is blatantly racist and taught rhetoric in his classes, both as a history professor and CORE instructor. Roslyn Bird has no experience and never moved up in the ranks of the military. Neither of them should be in these positions of power. (2)

it's crazy to me that the left just circle jerks eachother on shaming the right, and see no wrong in doing so. but when the right shames the left, the worlds falling apart and they're racists. the victim mentality is insane, it just boggles my mind (-1)

I like to cuddle my pillow when I'm feeling lonely ( ), but lately my pillow just doesn't cut it anymore. I want to hug and cuddle up to an actual living, breathing, human being.

That gave me an idea: what if someone made a pillow that actually "breathes" like a person? Surely I couldn't be the first person to come up with this idea. As it turns out, I'm not! In fact, I found two companies that are selling breathing "pillows", if you're willing to spend anywhere from $200 to $600.

Somnox 2:

The first company I found is the most expensive, called Somnox. This one costs $600 and comes with an app to track your breathing progress (or something, idk, I didn't look hard enough).

This thing really doesn't look like a pillow, it looks more of like an egg. In fact, the website refers to it as a "sleeping robot":

If you want to see the thing in action, here's a video:

Despite it looking like a weird dino egg, I was kind of interested in trying it, until I saw the price. No way I'm paying $600 for a thing that I can't even hug like a real person. NEXT!!

Fulfuly

I did some more searching and found a Japanese company that makes a breathing pillow called Fulfuly (I had no idea how I was supposed to pronounce the name until I found a video of it). This one costs $200 and unlike the Somnox, it actually looks like a pillow(ish) and like something comfortable to cuddle with:

Unlike the Somnox, I'm not actually sure if anyone has bought this thing. I couldn't find any reviews, except for one guy at a tech demo. The funny thing is, the guy at the tech demo visibly struggles to find something good to say about it:

The company that makes this pillow also makes some other unusual products. For example, here's a strange robot plushi called "AMAGAMI HAM HAM". The gimmick is that the robot playfully bites your finger:

Here's a video of a woman using it, who looks way too excited to shove her finger in that sad looking cat :

Another thing they sell is called a "Petit Qoobo" and it's..... I don't even know how to describe it. Just look at it:

This thing wags its tail, depending on how you talk to it. TBH, out of all the things this strange company sells, this one seemed to be the one I'd actually want, just because it's kind of funny. I mean look at this video of a woman using it:

Anyway! Both companies that make "breathing pillows" kind of suck. I'm not wasting my money on those, so it looks like I'm out of luck...

...OR AM I? After I saw the weird "Petit Qoobo" invention, I had another idea. What about a pillow that PURRS?! Surely someone thought of that already?

Purr-low Pillow

As it turns out, yes, someone already thought of this. A company called Purr-Low makes pillows that purr. Sounds cute! But I have to say... the pillows look kind of freaky :

On the one hand, I get what they were going for here. They're trying to make the pillow look like a cat, because duh, it purrs like one! But idk, on the other hand, they somehow make it look some sort of dead alien cat.

I might be tempted to buy this, if for no other reason that it's kind of funny and I think my actual cats would like it. But as for my needs, it doesn't work as a human cuddle substitute. Besides, I have actual real cats to cuddle up with and listen to them purr if I really want to.

IN CONCLUSION:

There is no substitute for a human companion, at least right now. Frankly, these options suck. Maybe one day someone will invent a better pillow, but until then, I will stick with my regular boring pillow.

Feel free to waste your money on one and report back tho!

My bf lost his peepee (cancer) 18 months ago AMA

As the title suggest, my bf lost his peepee to penile cancer 18 months ago. A few people suggested I post here following a post I did on R/offmychest and I actually found discussing it quite therapeutic so here I am.

Edit: just want to say, with the exception of the few trolls that appeared, thank you for the kind response to this post. Certainly not what I expected. I've now turned off reply notifications for the post because the number of responses was getting crazy.

Also, just as a side note while I appreciate the kind comments towards me I do feel I need to say that I'm far from amazing just for staying with him, I love him and the thought of leaving him never crossed my mind.

And for the guys out there, please research the symptoms and make sure you get anything suspicious checked out. It's a horrible disease in any form but catching it early can make all the difference x

imagine having such a lack of compassion for your nearest physical neighbours and actually sincerely being joyful at having their life and economic wellfare become redundant because of the very policy and wordlview you advocate for

like just imagine, the sheer ruthlessness this man is advocating for - that because you made mistakes in life, and failed to accumulate education, you deserve impoverishment, and being outcompeted by immigrants who devalue any physical labour you can do out of sheer numbers

I recently played The Last Campfire and as an artcel I really appreciate the environment designs of the game, I've always enjoyed exploring beautiful worlds if the game allows it so I'm looking for recommendations for that sort of stuff, particularly focused on nature, the genre doesn't matter

Other examples I can think of the type of environments I'm looking for are Spyro, Ori and the blind forest and The Witness

Also not nature related but I also like environments like old medieval cities, towns, etc, for example the ones in Styx Master of Shadows

CS2 released last year in an awful state and with half of the content, game modes and other features of csgo. Naturally, this made a lot of people upset and people demanded more. Naturally, valve did absolutely nothing useful. Nowadays the game suffers from an overwhelming amount of cheaters, awful lagging, terrible sub tick and honestly a lot more. Counterstrike is too big too fall and Valve knows this very well. The lack of updates was especially concerning given the state of the game, but the anniversary update mentioned in the title was supposed to change everything - and the only thing we got were a bunch of unnecessary microtransactions and battlepasses. The latter is especially disgusting given that you can buy 5 passes ($16 btw) at once to progress faster. Frick valve and all their peepeesuckers. Biggest r-slurs on the market.

I'll give you a quick front-matter tl:dr, I'm rigging a bet by responding to this, and work pays me to browse rDrama.

That's right, I'm being paid to write hot takes no one should read!

Long post ahead, ye be warned.

So @Impassionata typically writes schizo posts with political themes, and doesn't really seem to get concepts critical to understanding the modern political world. Things like nuance, multifaceted issues with multiple root causes, fellow traveler-like paradigms for political movements, etc typically escape the grasp of most liberal/socialists/partisans. There's more than one reason to vote for or against someone, especially in a flawed democratic republic like the USA. (I wouldn't be shocked if Impassionata was a euro-cel.)

Politics isn't about having a home. Politics is about making decisions about how our government operates, and Trump is inimical to the continued further operation of our government because he's old. He is old. And he has to leave the race.

So already we're out of the gate with a cool assertion that old people shouldn't hold political office. This is a really good indicator that the OP is either too young to vote, or missed the last election and wants to blame someone for bad outcomes that happen in political environments. Far be it from voters to choose who their candidate should be, like with a primary. That's too complicated for voters says @Impassionata old people should just be banned from office except when they're running on my ticket. Pelosi, Bernie and Biden? They aight, but opposition candidate old man, who won the primary with millions of votes? Shouldn't be on the ballot.

This is the theme of @Impassionata's screed that for whatever reason old people suck. I personally like old people, I think old people are healthy for democracy because they have assets, consider their families, and typically don't rank abortion as their number one issue unless they're divorced and in their mid sixties white women. (IE: Evil) So out of the gate, we have an issue with old people in democratic politics, but really no follow through as to why. Let's take a closer look.

It doesn't matter how reasonable you think your reasons are if they result in an incoherent conclusion. Support for Trump is incoherent. Your reasons are therefore invalid no matter how reasonable they seem to you. Let's examine them.

So again, leftist tendency to eat the horse before you take your cart to market. Sad! If everyone knew the outcome of each and every decision they would make, there would be no need to make irrational decisions, everyone would be a rational actor and philosophers could all kills themselves. Unfortunately, far from leading to philosopher genocide, we have a still living @Impassionata ranting about people making bad choices. Student loans for art degrees are a bad choice, but somehow I think personal responsibility will be dodged for @Impassionata here.

People in a free society are you know, free, to make whatever choices they want within certain guidelines. But for whatever reason, voting for a New York real estate billionaire is against what is permissible because he advocates for 90's era Democrat policies, which I'm told are racist, xenophobic and chuddy for current year + 8.

Then we get some weighty analysis from @Impassionata here:

Whether or not you like the government having power, the government has power, and it's time for you to man up and accept it and stop whining about it. Our government has power. It has power which extends through its foreign connections, including to Israel and Ukraine.

No one denied that the government has power, I said I didn't like the current government (Biden Admin/Harris Admin) in power. I acknowledge that the government will use violence against me if I don't pay taxes to give to Israel and Ukraine. I freely acknowledge that although the government, in various administrations have shown a total lack of interest in doing things like disaster preparation, sealing the border from migrant caravans, ensuring the drug crisis is addressed, trying to limits money in politics, limiting the racialization of institutions or enforcing SCOTUS orders on said issues. This is to name a few hot button issues, enjoined with a flailing economy and general lack of trust in our political leadership. But confusing Israel's power to tax American workers, or Ukraine's power to drain our coffers is stupid, because none of these things materially help Americans of any variety except rich people who buy bonds for deficit spending at higher yields, or you know, people who own weapons companies. @Impassionata frames this as a moral failure on my part, where since I'm not happy to get out my checkbook and launch us into a nuclear confrontation with a foreign power a globe away, that's indicative of serious moral decay. You know, especially after progressives were against the War in Iraq and Afghanistan, I expected them to be peaceniks, but now nuclear weapons are good, and so are shredding men, women and children of both Ukraine and Russia.

No one really likes to think about the implosion of Russia from a consequentialist viewpoint. So let's just remind everyone, Russia 100+ million people, and Syria which was 22+ million people. So if we're just glossing over this, if Russia collapse tomorrow, we could reasonable expect a Syria-like influx of refugees from the deterioration of Russia's state cohesiveness to the tune of 5x the size of Syria. That would be bad. But no one in the State department cares, because you'll just be branded a traitor, suspicious or sympathetic to Putin instead of being considered on the merit of this risk.

Moving on.

Trump is too old to be involved in international politics. But: Trump is Neville Chamberlain here. Appeasement is stupid. You can't appease authoritarian dictators. Russia is our geopolitical adversary. Trump's behavior towards Putin was always incoherent. You favor a less interventionist foreign policy. You should not believe that Trump will be interventionist. The US does not want war, the US does not want to be involved in wars. We have obligations to our allies which we can and should keep because THEY ARE OUR ALLIES??? THEY ARE WHAT IS KEEPING THE WHOLE PAX AMERICAN TOGETHER??? It's like you don't even understand the plan here. The plan for our foreign policy is HAVE ALL THE ALLIES. To have them, you have to help them.

Like all things, there's a time and place for it. For example, ignoring the nuance of the Euromaidan movement's overthrowing the government and just saying that Ukraine freed themselves from Russia's puppeteering, you really have to examine what our links were to Ukraine. I'll rip-off Wikipedia right here:

The Budapest Memorandum was negotiated at political level, but it is not entirely clear whether the instrument is devoid entirely of legal provisions. It refers to assurances, but unlike guarantees, it does not impose a legal obligation of military assistance on its parties.[2][53] According to Stephen MacFarlane, a professor of international relations, "It gives signatories justification if they take action, but it does not force anyone to act in Ukraine."[52] In the US, neither the George H. W. Bush administration nor the Clinton administration was prepared to give a military commitment to Ukraine, and they did not believe the US Senate would ratify an international treaty and so the memorandum was adopted in more limited terms.[53] The memorandum has a requirement of consultation among the parties "in the event a situation arises that raises a question concerning the ... commitments" set out in the memorandum.[54] Whether or not the memorandum sets out legal obligations, the difficulties that Ukraine has encountered since early 2014 may cast doubt on the credibility of future security assurances that are offered in exchange for nonproliferation commitments.[55] Regardless, the United States publicly maintains that "the Memorandum is not legally binding", calling it a "political commitment"

So just to summarize, treaties need to be ratified by the Senate, otherwise they're not legal, or binding. Clinton and Bush specifically didn't think this would pass the Senate, hence Memorandum instead of treaty obligation. In a normal country with checks and balances, this would of course be widely known, accepted and practices. But we don't live in a country that respects norms, democratic or international. We live in America in it's most corrupt iteration. There's no reason to be in Ukraine other than to threaten Russia. You can be for or against that, but pretending that Ukraine was some long-time ally is histrionic. Ukraine is a corrupt shithole with unironically unelected head of state. Putin has won more lections than Zelensky, and probably just as many fair ones. Moving on.

There is absolutely no reason to deploy the military to enforce border security. The legislation around the border which was cancelled by Trump (which Republicans are now blaming him for) would have been the best responsiveness to the border crisis. Trump did a really terrible thing in causing that legislation to fail in order to run on the border.

Trump torpedoed an amnesty bill played off as border security, that was poison pilled. I'm glad he did. Somehow Kamala got ahold of that crisis without those laws, or maybe not? No one knows what's true anymore unless you live on the border or are a victim of a crime committed by a marauding migrant. Moving on.

The Republicans attempted to use criminal procedure against the Bidens.

@Impassionata doesn't know that an investigation by the House is not criminal procedure. It's ok to investigate people who take bribes. That behavior should be normalized. If it were, Biden, most politicians would be in jail. Something I very much support given our level of corruption.

Because Progress Marches On. "Trump is a felon!" people will scream, Trump is a felon, stop whining about it.

I like this glib response, because it's pretty crass. Rather that addressing prosecutorial malfeasance, generally the fraudulent prosecution of Trump that various other DA's backed away from, it's just a wholesale dismissal that Trump could be innocent of what(?) he's being accused of. I'm not even sure what the crime is, I have two degrees in political science, I regularly interpret law, I actually don't understand how he's being convicted other than for political purposes. But maybe a certain grocery clerk can enlighten me.

You don't have a brother.

Things take a turn for the worse when @Impassionata starts saying I don't have a brother. Not sure what this is about. The rest of the post is generally nonsense, has no redeeming value. Apparently I'm some kind of nazi for voting for Trump, who in my opinion is pretty milquetoast on a variety of issues but has the occasional follow through, versus Kamala, who has never won a presidential primary but failed upward thanks to Biden dying on stage three months ago. Thanks Obama.

Anyhow, it's been fun, time for lunch! May be a part two somewhere in me, only if I get a raise though.

@Impassionata if there's anything else you want me to address, let me know.

Intriguingly, as the date for the airing of the documentary has drawn near, a number of high-value wallets from the "Satoshi era" have become active for the first time since 2009.

According to Bitcoin Magazine, around 250 bitcoins — worth approximately $15 million at Thursday's bitcoin rate of $60,754 to the dollar — were drained from wallets in the past two weeks. While the coins are not officially linked to wallets used by Satoshi Nakamoto, they have been dormant since the earliest days of Bitcoin, when the cryptocurrency was worth almost nothing. The wallets' creators would certainly have been Satoshi's earliest collaborators.

/r/McDonaldsEmployees is a subreddit for McDonald's employees to talk about their shared trials and tribulations and commiserate.

One user, "euphoriaxlove720", posts a thread titled "(USA) I almost died in the freezer.":

https://old.reddit.com/r/McDonaldsEmployees/comments/1fo70r4/usa_i_almost_died_in_the_freezer/

I was on fryer and we had ran out of mc-crispies, and I went to the back to grab more and two freezers in, I got trapped. I was in there for about 20 minutes and I was crying and having a panic attack because I couldn't get out. I was gone until people noticed I wasn't back at the fryer and I tried banging on the door but there was no panic or emergency button. If it wasn't for one of my coworkers I would've died in the freezer. Everyone please be careful when going into the freezers and always have a device with you. I'm 17 and neurodivergent and I was all alone just waiting for someone to either find me, or waiting for death. The freezer there was a death trap and the only exit required a key which I didn't have. On average 60 people a year die from walk in freezer incidents. This needs more awareness. Because it's the most terrifying thing I've ever went through.

Many users are supportive of the OP at first, attributing this chilling experience to a poor design. However, in typical Reddit fashion, the thread soon turns into a neckbeard McSlapfight over US building codes.

Desperate-Face-6954 asks:

There's no bell? In Australia walk in fridges and freezers have a bell on the outside of the door that works from the inside. The occupational health and safety inspectors would make a huge deal out of a bell not working, they save lives.

FrostyCartographer13 responds:

In the US, all walk-in coolers or freezers are required to be openable from the inside, even while locked.

OP is either making up the story or didn't realize you can open the door with a slight push.

BellOfTaco3285:

Just because they are required too doesn't mean they are, or the latch on the inside is broke. There are THOUSANDS of places in the US aren't up to code, you're insane to think that EVERY SINGLE walk in freezer is up to code, that's simply not the case. I've worked at multiple places with a walk in cooler, two of them didn't open from the inside. One didn't have a latch on the inside at all, the mechanism was broken off and they never bothered fixing it, so if you didn't prop it open then you'd get locked inside, there was even a sign on the front saying "If this door is open CHECK BEFORE CLOSING, IT COULD SAVE YOUR CO-WORKERS LIFE". the other had the latch to open it from the inside, but it was broken, it would work half the time, the other half you'd be stuck unless you propped the door. The one without a latch ended up getting fined and closed down when the code enforcement officer found out, but it goes to show that there are plenty of places that don't have their required stuff up to code.

ChronicallyCurious8:

Ever hear OSHA? The fire department, the health department. You mean to tell me with all these departments that are running in and out of all these restaurants that they would let something like this go ? If this were true, this would be a huge violation and a huge fine.

By the way, why didn't the 17-year-old report this? I bet they didn't because it didn't happen.

Sorry, I've been called ignorant on here, but you people are the ones that are ignorant, not me

The OP replies:

I'm not making it up. There was a white plastic gear looking thing that said "you're not locked in" but I couldn't get it to open. This was so traumatizing for me and my coworker saved my life. I have no reason to make this up. I have autism and I struggle with instructions and I couldn't open the door I tried so hard and I eventually gave up…

The argument then shifts into one about whether the OP could sue for emotional distress and PTSD.

DatRussianHobo:

I'm pretty sure OP has a law suit that's easily winnable.

CringeLord5:

What are the damages? """Emotional distress""" while real probably won't win a case

anipie05:

Almost dying, no way to get out, faulty freezer door, emotional destress, etc. Several occupational health and safety violations as well

FuzzyChickenButt:

Almost """"dying""""" after less than 10 minutes being in there? How fricking dramatic

anipie05:

Could have been a bigger problem if the co worker wasn't there to let them out. Why are you in defense of big corporations? Either way it was an occupational safety hazard. Laws were broken.

FuzzyChickenButt:

I'm not defending corporations, brains. One look at their profile & you can see they have issues

In a separate shitshow, the OP is accused of basing his entire personality on the fact that he's neurodivergent.

Final-Garden asks:

What was the point of mentioning you're neurodivergent

FNC-Jman:

A lot of people for whatever reason like to make their illness/disability their whole personality. I can speak from experience because I've seen it firsthand.

psychedelic666:

It can lead to increased anxiety in situations like that, it's not a personality it's a medical condition

Tension increases as the OP faces more and more accusations of making his story up.

ChronicallyCurious8:

This is a made up story. There are laws in place for preventing someone from being " trapped " in a walk in cooler FFS.. Over the years I've worked in several different McDonald's units in the state I live in. Not once have I ever seen a walk in cooler that you can't get out of immediately.. My family also owned private restaurants where the walk-in cooler has a push button mechanism on the door inside the Walk-in cooler.

Sorry OP, but you need to really up your game about your stories .

This couldn't have possibly happened in the US .

This would be a.SERIOUS violation of huge proportions if it were true.

Maybe a 17 year year old you don't realize that these restaurants are inspected EVERY 6-12 months by the health department, ( among other types of inspections county & state wide ) and a violation like you're reporting just never happened.

Edited

thisisntmynametoday:

Monthly health inspections? Where do you live? Not every municipality or county is diligent at inspections.

In Massachusetts we are lucky to get two inspections a year.

And I worked a place that the inside release for the walk in broke one day.

ChronicallyCurious8:

It's edited. Ppl do make mistakes. Yes even when they proofread.

If truth be known you're more upset because OP mentioned autism. Sorry but if autism affects OP that bad maybe Mickey D's isn't for them.

I'm sure the manager knew OP how much is it most likely due to the fact that OP made sure everyone knew that in the comments here.

thisisntmynametoday:

I said nothing about autism?

I called BS on your assertion that every walk in freezer in the US is up to code. I've worked at a place that wasn't, and I got caught in the walk in when the latching mechanism broke.

It didn't have a panic button, or a release button.

Thankfully my boss and I were cleaning out the freezer together and he heard me throwing my shoulder into the door.

Stop telling people their experiences aren't real, random internet commenter.

ChronicallyCurious8:

I didn't say you did.

Do you know an opinion page is? Apparently not.. We all have opinions if you don't like mine, I'm sorry .

Have the day you deserve

Elsewhere, Redditors debate whether one can call 911 without a signal or inside a walk-in freezer.

imnotgunertellyou:

I'm surprised you didn't have your phone on you to call for help. Glad to hear you're ok!

FakeMikeMorgan:

Depending on how the walk In is designed, a cell phone may not get a signal from inside.

apaw1129:

You can always reach 911, even without signal or service.

ExqueeriencedLesbian:

not true at all, you definitely need signal

apaw1129:

False. You can dial 911 even without signal or an active service. Research it.

Aurora-314:

Definitely not possible, you literally can't make calls without a signal. That's why satellite phones/ devices are needed for emergencies if travelling in remote areas with no signal.

apaw1129:

Google

Aurora-314:

It says it can use other providers if your provider doesn't have a signal. Or if the network is busy it will drop other calls to let yours through. And if the signal is too weak for a call a text might get though.

But that doesn't mean you can call when there is literally no signal. Where do you think the radio waves from your phone can go when you are in the middle of the desert and there are no cell towers nearby? Or if there is a thick metal freezer wall literally blocking them?

Internationalthief:

They must think cell phones transmit power of friendship waves.

FrostyCartographer13 creates more McBeef when he responds to the OP's "I'm not making it up" comment and suggests that, ackchyually, it was just a prank, bro:

I don't care if you got autism and the reason why I want to assume you are making it up a story i give the details on how the door works.

The doors are larger than the doorway itself. They actually set in a resses in the freezer entrance so the gaskets can make a seal. There are no latches that hold the door closed. The only mechanisms for the door closing are the spring hinges and the door assist.

The door assist helps hold the door in the closed position and helps when opening the door.

If the events did happen to you, I will provide you with a possible alternative as to why.

You were the victim of a prank.

Someone (probably the person who let you out) followed you when you went to get the product.

They held the door closed so you couldn't get it open right away and waited for you to start to panic.

After they get their laugh at making you panic, they let you out.

You were most likely in there a total of 5 minutes, not 20. While under duress, such as panicking, a person's sense of time becomes dilated.

You were probably freaking freaking the frick out since you thought you were trapped. Those minutes probably felt like forever.

BellOfTaco3258:

I'm so glad you think you have the ability, knowledge, or right to say what their experience was, were you there? No? Cool, your opinion is invalid.

FrostyCartographer13:

What is the more likely of the scenarios?

Out of the dozens of times, the door is opened each day, that it would not open once, then return to operating as normal without a discernable cause?

Or

That OP is the victim of the shitty "trapped in the freezer" prank that has existed since before I ever worked and didn't realize it?

BellOfTaco3258:

OPs story is more likely. You want to create a narrative with zero evidence of actual being there.

FrostyCartographer13:

And OP is making an assertion with no evidence.

Thus, I am allowed to dismiss and offer a more plausible explanation without the need for evidence.

BellOfTaco3258

The evidence is their experience… keep thinking you know everything! Glad you know all of the facts of the incident and were there to see exactly what happened…. oh wait.

"I don't believe OPs story so I can say what I want without evidence of what actually happened, nor was I there to see the actual event, but I don't need to! I'm always right". I'd hate to be around you in person.

Their bickering continues further, of course:

There is, it goes without saying, loads more slapfighting in this thread, which, as of this post, has no less than 963 comments. The entire thread is a massive dumpster fire. Here are just a few more highlights:

TehFlogger, responding to Desperate-Face-6954:

It's not their fault. Darwinism just didn't take their parents out first. It'll solve itself.

boymeatcafe, responding to Us_Strike:

unrelated but is your pfp willy wonka from tom and jerry: willy wonka and the chocolate factory

This_is_Me888:

Annnnd that's why I had to pull forward and wait for my food.

Kris_toast:

Just put my fries in the bag bro

damiandarko2:

what does being 17 and neurodivergent have to do with this 😂

FurbyCultist93:

This happened to an Arby's employee fairly recently. They didn't make it.

Captndabberz:

Doesn't relate to the post but looking at your account OP I think you need a lot of help, I hope you the best and am glad you are ok tho

somecow:

ALL freezers can be opened from the inside. Some sort of latch, knob, button, etc.

Do yourself a favor and stay out of there if you can't figure it out.

stubrador:

I believe this to be largely embellished

Teamorange0:

Lol to this entire post. I've worked in food service for 30 yrs and unless there's some sort of catastrophic damage to the door, there's no problem. Let alone the ability to bust your way out of needed.

scottishguyhere:

Someone would have found you all mc crispy and cold

Retro-Lit-Coach:

I have a feeling either A) You just didn't push hard enough on the door or B) This is a fabricated story because it's literally illegal for them to have a door like that

Ninja2ZERO:

This person has a weird profile.

Signal-Note-8280:

You weren't trapped.....you were Mctrapped

ImportancePrudent136:

bruh. womp womp.

MustHav3BeenTheWind:

I swear tho, them freezers are cold asf

PrestigiousLife8831:

Sounds like you were 20 minutes short of a major pay day

Defiant_Good9427:

LOL gtfoh this is satire right ?

OleDirtyChineseJoint:

20 minutes and you thought you were dying? Good grief. Kids these days. We used to take a bong in there and hide

National-Entrance-94:

Why are people saying OP is lying? There are actual cases like this where people did stay trapped in freezers & died?!

jorand19 gets a response from the OP regarding autism:

So does Otherwise_Rip_7337 when he accuses the OP's story of being false, starting an extended argument with the OP that you can see for yourself if you feel so inclined.

In conclusion, the ultimate lesson here is this: regardless of what your post is, someone will always find some way to tell you that you're wrong. Especially on Le Rebbit.

Interesting article I found off RCP.

If microscopic black holes born a fraction of a second after the Big Bang exist, as some researchers suspect, then at least one may fly through the solar system per decade, generating tiny gravitational distortions that scientists can detect, a new study finds.

These findings suggest that if astronomers can discover and confirm the existence of such gravitational disruptions, they may be able to solve the mystery behind the nature of dark matter, the unseen material that many researchers suspect makes up about five-sixths of all matter in the cosmos.

Many researchers suggest that dark matter may be composed of unknown particles, but no experiment to date has discovered new particles that might be dark matter. As such, one alternative that scientists are exploring to explain dark matter are so-called primordial black holes, ones that have existed since the dawn of time.

Previous research suggests that about 86% of matter in the universe is composed of an essentially invisible substance called dark matter. Scientists infer dark matter's existence from its gravitational effects on everyday matter and light, but it currently remains uncertain what it might be made of.

Black holes get their name from their immense gravitational pulls, which are so powerful that not even light can escape. If a black hole does not give away its existence — for instance, by ripping apart a star — it may remain undetected against the black of space.

Over the decades, astronomers have detected many black holes, from stellar-mass black holes typically about five to 10 times the sun's mass to supermassive black holes millions to billions of solar masses in size. In contrast, the new study examined primordial black holes, which previous research suggests may only be about the mass of a typical asteroid — that is, about 110 billion to 110 million billion tons (100 billion to 100 million billion metric tons).

"The black holes we consider in our work are at least 10 billion times lighter than the sun, and are barely larger in size than a hydrogen atom," study co-author Sarah Geller, a theoretical physicist at the University of California at Santa Cruz, told Space.com.

Was jerkin it a bit ago and remembered a girl that was a FWB situation. Anyway I invited her over for dinner and I was making cheese steaks that night and she said that sounds great. So when she finally showed up I was just starting to cook up the peppers and onions. We made out a bit in kitchen for awhile and the veggies were ready and I was like girl I gotta get this meat on. I usually cook cheese steaks with shaved beef but they were out at the usual store I go to so I grabbed some steakums .

I pulled them out the freezer and noticed this chick make a disbelieve face. She was noticeably upset I was using this steakem meat? I asked her if everything was good and she made an excuse she had to go to the bathroom quickly. I'm like alright must be an emergency. Well I finish our cheese steaks and am adding cheese whiz as the final ingredient and she comes waltzing out, almost running to the front door saying its an emergency and implied that she was having bowel problems and had to go.

The thing is bros I went into the bathroom after she left and smelled no hint of shit or farts. I think she was embarrassed and ashamed that instead of shaved beef it was steakum meat.
