Beware of trading scammers!

A subreddit for anything related to games (but not sports).

"Related" means that posts must contain gaming-related content in the link/post body, not just a "forced" connection via the title or a caption added to the content.


Posting Rules

  • Posts must be directly gaming-related. Thus, "generic" image macros/memes (where the character itself is not related to gaming) like Scumbag Steve, Good Guy Greg, etc. will be removed. Something that "reminds you of a game", or "looks like something from a game" is also not an appropriate submission; similarly, reaction GIFs are also not appropriate as submissions.

  • Following Reddiquette is encouraged

  • No "general" URL shorteners (bitly, tinyurl, etc). Single-site URL shorteners (such as youtu.be or fav.me) are allowed.

  • No game or product giveaway of any kind

  • NSFW submissions and comments must be labeled

  • Spoilers can be posted using the following formatting:
    [X Kills Y](/spoiler)
    Result: X Kills Y.

  • To mark a spoiler as relevant to a specific game/topic, use the alternate formatting:
    [Player 1 wins](/spoiler "Pong")
    Result:
    Player 1 wins

  • Report posts containing spoilers not using the above method

  • Don't post users' personal information.

Submission Rules

Is your post not showing up? Do not delete it. Wait 5 minutes to give AutoModerator a chance to look at it; it approves most submissions automatically. If it hasn't shown up after more than 5 minutes, simply message the moderators and ask us to let it through.

This is gonna be real funny until whoever put it there has a heart attack and needs a real defibrillator.

[–]daturkel 20 points21 points ago

Yeah, I'd report this. If this is in a public school in some states, it may actually be against code for there not to be an AED there. Not to mention that if someone needs to be defibrillated, the wait caused by someone running to this location, seeing this, and having to go find another AED, could mean they don't get revived.

[–]pokelord13 5 points6 points ago

I'm pretty sure the AED casing dials 911 as soon as you open it up

[–]Khronosh 11 points12 points ago

The whole point of an AED is for emergency resuscitation. The time from cardiac arrest to the paramedics arriving without an AED is often enough time to mean the difference between life and death. That is why they are required.

[–]pokelord13 9 points10 points ago

Yes, I know. That's why I'm wondering how they stuffed a pikachu in there without alerting 911

[–]Disparity_Death 8 points9 points ago

Not sure why you got downvoted. The bottom left of the box says "Warning Alarmed System" Which does make it puzzling how they got the pikachu in there without setting it off.

[–]johnny384316 6 points7 points ago

There were plenty of these at my school. I know of several occasions where they were opened up. It just starts beeping until you close it. That's really about it. If it automatically called 911 every time someone opened it, at a public school, no actual emergencies would be handled anymore.

[–]Senseless-Insult 1 point2 points ago

Due to construction at my school, the water pressure would drop. The fire alarms would trip (because the lower pressure would make them assume the sprinklers were activated, don't ask me why that makes sense), and despite it happening every day for months, in one case 4 times in a day, the fire department had to come every single time.

It was ridiculous, but yeah, they would show up regardless of how stupid the alarm was. This, of course, is a fire alarm though, not a AED box.

[–]mgearliosus 0 points1 point ago

Oh god I'm so glad they built my apartment properly. That would be horrible if it happened at night.

[–]Jufjufjuf 1 point2 points ago

It starts uploading a report once it gets turned on, not when the door is opened. Since AEDs have to be checked every day for battery status and for any errors and some assholes don't put it back in the right way. Causing you to have to open the door to check the display.

[–]needsanewusername 1 point2 points ago

AED's do not send any sort of notifications to ems if that is what you are implying. You have to notify the fire department manually by calling.

[–]lecorboosier -2 points-1 points ago

probably because your little factoid isn't true

[–]pokelord13 5 points6 points ago

It isn't a fact when the sentence is preceded by "I'm pretty sure"

[–]brolanda 0 points1 point ago

I'm pretty sure that you're wrong.

[–]kerdon 3 points4 points ago

Nope. It'll make a loud siren sound, so as to draw attention to the emergency, if you don't have a key but as far as I know they don't call 9/11.

Source: I was a security guard and had to check these every night.

[–]kerdon 8 points9 points ago

Preeeeety sure they just took out the defib and put in the pika for the pic then put the defib back.

[–]Leek5 0 points1 point ago

Yea we have one of these at work i can take it out and replace it with stuff to take picture of too lol.

[–]HubblyCaterpillar 0 points1 point ago

Or maybe there's a real defibrillator to the left of this box.

[–]SecretCobraz 2 points3 points ago

They could just make a Defib-Unit that looked like a Pikachu

[–]Aneds 0 points1 point ago

But what if it's a defibrillator disguised as pikachu?

[–]ZedNaught 0 points1 point ago

Then it'll be hilarious.

Just in case you wanted to make this safety hazard your wallpaper.

[–]WindsAndWords 6 points7 points ago

Yeah no... Unfortunately that's not how portable defib's work. They're way more vital then just giving shocks...

[–]Saucefire 3 points4 points ago

Yes, but portable defibs don't get Quick Attack.

[–]throwawayneu 5 points6 points ago

They do by breeding.

[–]captaintimewaste 10 points11 points ago

... this was posted like 2 days ago.

[–]Herr_Reese 2 points3 points ago

It was posted a hell of a lot longer ago than that.

[–]captaintimewaste 2 points3 points ago

I just saw it recently, i dont know why it was necessary to post something that you can find less than 4 pages away.

[–]Herr_Reese 1 point2 points ago

I don't know either. But I've been on reddit long enough that I really don't give enough of a shit to say anything about it anymore.

5th time I've seen a given link or pic this week? Downvote it and move on. It's not worth getting your jimmies rustled.

[–]captaintimewaste 3 points4 points ago

this one goes to you. Wizard of the interwebs

[–]JcobTheKid 4 points5 points ago

I swear to god I saw this yesterday.

[–]Genuinefake1 3 points4 points ago

[–]guywhoripsoffarms 0 points1 point ago

I wonder what would be the fire extinguisher.

[–]Zooperman 3 points4 points ago

... isn't it obvious?

[–]TheMadMule 1 point2 points ago

Squirtle!

[–]evilweirdo 0 points1 point ago

[–]Nerfherder32 1 point2 points ago

It's so derpy and cute

[–]MMBinNC 0 points1 point ago

The thing is...if this was in Japan I'd believe that it could be an actual defilibrator. They have the weirdest shit shaped as anime characters...especially Pokemon.

[–]iknowthisisweird 0 points1 point ago

The parkour gym I go to has a picture of squirtle under the fire extinguisher sign. Better than safetey.

[–]TheZipRip 0 points1 point ago

Someone gave that defibrillator a thunder stone.

[–]slugslime 1 point2 points ago

"He's gonna shock us.... HE'S GONNA SHOCK US........HESGONNASHOCKUS!!..

LOOKS LIKE TEAM ROCKET'S BLASTING OFF AGAIIIINNNN!.........*"

[–]rokkuranx 1 point2 points ago

Obviously you haven't seen the first pokemon movie

[–]ItsRainingStuff 1 point2 points ago

So are Raichu and Zapdos overkill then?

[–]gufcfan 0 points1 point ago

Even Pikachu looks bemused...

[–]ZaneBarrow 0 points1 point ago

This image is so reposted that the Amish have seen it.

[–]campy 0 points1 point ago

I believe this picture came preinstalled with the original internet beta version.

[–]CreapyNin 0 points1 point ago

Wow, second fucking time today. If you're going to steal from /r/pokemon, at least say you did.

And that's not even with /r/pokemon in there. I'm sure I see this sucker come by every 2 weeks on their frontpage.

[–]kmotiv -5 points-4 points ago

I have literally tried every way I can think of to block pokemon bullshit on reddit, but somehow it always sneaks through.
