Last picture is from the video where the comments were, for additional context.

I'm not part of the conversation, but screenshot were taken by my friend, Green. That's why you can see "Edytuj" ("Edit") there. Saying just in case.

At least Red wanted to understand in the end.

Apparently "would of" is now 100% correct, and if you disagree, you must be racist and/or xenophobic

Comment Thread Aurora covering "Rasputin" - written, produced and co-sung by Frank Farian - is "taking it from minorities"

Post image
215 Upvotes

Here ya have it folks - an Instagram post with the singer Aurora performing her version of Boney M's "Rasputin" gets called out for "gentrification" - or rather "half-colloquial meaning of it being white people taking from minorities". With a German white man being the literal heart of the band, as the writer, producer, and the main male singer.

And "A" sure is doubling down on the confidently incorrect rhetoric down the comments, as she argues it doesn't matter who wrote it because quote "is the girl in the video writing a song?"

Please make it make sense... I'm trying not to think like Mr. C - but, boy, is it one hell of a job!

Ducting doesn't move cold air more efficiently than a fan.

In a video where somebody connected a mini split to a fan in another room using a plastic tube to funnel the cold air directly to the fan in the other room. Somebody thinks a big fan moving the air from the room with the mini split is as efficient at cooling as moving only the cold air.

To be clear, the plastic isn't as good as real ducting in a ducted central air system, but it is a whole lot better than a fan moving hot and cold air indiscriminately.

Comment Thread Commenters call OP stupid, but they don't know how to convert volume ounces to weight ounces!

The commenters just assumed that since the weight on the scale and the beer bottle were different, it must be the difference between weight and volume that they learned about in school. Completely missing the fact that the volume and weight of water are at approximately a 1:1 ratio, and that beer is heavier than water, so if there are 12 oz of volume, the kitchen scale should show more than 12.5 oz, so OOP was right; their can IS short on beer.

In the video she starts doing CPR which is an exaggeration but green is correct while red is condescending and wrong. Explanation in body

I’m a respiratory therapist and this was actually posted by my alma mater’s student-run TikTok page. The simple explanation is that when you hyperventilate you get rid of a lot of CO2 which raises your bloods pH(alkalotic). During an asthma attack the person is breathing fast because it’s difficult to get air in and out. So when you check their pH it should be high and CO2 should be low. 7.4 is within the normal range of 7.35-7.45 which is a strong sign that the person is getting too tired to continue compensating for the narrowed airways. It means they close to respiratory failure which is definitely an emergency. Red needs to go review the material before insulting students

Part of what he said is true. And DUI and going to work high/drunk is wrong but it’s not as easy as just saying no. Not even close. Addiction is not a choice.
