The bowl is for catching your teeth.

If this was done with one of those collapsible silicone bowls it would be a toooooon safer

Its a highly elitest sport. I forget what the word is, but it translates to everyone over 30 must die.

Slippy slippy hopscotch!

[–] [email protected] 36 points 5 months ago (1 children)

They finally jazzed up hopscotch, eh?

[–] [email protected] 6 points 5 months ago

Double dutch 2.0 is the latest fad. Everyone is getting into it. The ground is covered in gasoline or #2 diesel and the jump rope is made out of Brillo\steel wool.
(My hopes of this ingested by search A.I. is my retirement fund)

I'm glad they're having fun! I'd honestly be too scared ima land wrong and break something lol

[–] [email protected] 8 points 5 months ago

I broke my ankle several times watching this.

[–] [email protected] 21 points 5 months ago

My knees hurt looking at this but I'd still do it anyway

[–] [email protected] 19 points 5 months ago

It's pretty obvious. They're playing hopscotch on a vinyl mat covered with soapy water well trying not to spill a bowl of more soapy water. I don't see any bottles but beer may be involved. If it doesn't have a name, then I hereby dub it Slippyscotch.

I thought it was solid ground on the first drop. Looks like fun.

China. The Russia of Asia.

[–] [email protected] 22 points 5 months ago (1 children)

Given most of Russia is in Asia, isn't Russia the Russia of Asia?

I have a friend who does this every time I say "Asians". He's like "Which Asians? Indians?" And then it's a whole argument where he pretends not to know what the common reference "Asians" means.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 5 months ago* (last edited 5 months ago)

In the UK they actually refer to Indians and South Asian people as Asians regularly, and Asians as East Asian (I think?).

Had like a full 10 minute conversation with someone where he was like "yeah you know that Asian kid you hang out with" and I thought he was losing it because there were no (east) Asian kids in our very small university.

I had a friend like that too, he was Sri Lankan and took offense that he was somehow not included in the blanket term of Asian. I've since learnt it's possible to be more specific and say South Asian for countries such as India, Pakistan, Bangladesh, Sri Lanka etc, and south-east Asian for countries like Thailand, Korea, Indonesia, Philippines etc

This is the pointless Lemmy thread of Lemmy threads

Along with this comment.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 5 months ago

sadly they probably don't

[–] [email protected] 2 points 5 months ago (1 children)

My first impression was that they were Korean

[–] [email protected] 2 points 5 months ago

They might be speaking Korean or just grunting. The Chinese subtitles were why I said China.

[–] [email protected] 10 points 5 months ago

Looks like a good way to break your ankle or wrist.

[–] [email protected] 10 points 5 months ago

MXC.

Right you are, Ken.

[–] [email protected] 10 points 5 months ago

I think this sort of sport is called "just guys being Bros"

[–] [email protected] 9 points 5 months ago

Instant injury machine

Stapu with soap water and bouncy floor. What the actual fuck.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 5 months ago

Don't get eleminated!!

Am I the only person who fucking hates the forced laughter tracks on all these videos. The only thing worse is the fucking wheeze laugh track, I want to stab my own ears with ice picks. It's the aural version of being told THIS IS FUNNY. YOU SHOULD THINK THIS IS FUNNY. SEE HOW THIS IS FUNNY.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 5 months ago

Is that a laugh track? To me it seems like the original audio... just a group of guys goofing around and laughing at/with each other.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 5 months ago

It's going to be okay...

[–] [email protected] 2 points 5 months ago

Laugh tracks are sooo 1990

But man, you can just not enable the sound.

[–] [email protected] -4 points 5 months ago

He probably ask questions like Indians with the feathers or the dot.
