I found myself getting more annoyed by them as I went further.

A pier? So someone who makes pies? What about them?

[–]secretvictory -1 points0 points ago

No, that's a pieist. It's a peer.

Ah those...

I was talking about the emo types.

For example, The original message would be "They called me fat,"

A poorly written message next to it would say, "That is because you don't exercise!"

Thanks for the info.

cheers!

It's called Buzzkilling and it's based on the "Put yourself in my shoes" meme.

Here's some more of them.

Silly redditor, you can't explain memes.

You are on reddit, you can't even get the correct one.

Silly redditor, you can't explain memes.

Meme goes in, karma comes out.

Can't explain that.

A farris wheel broke and seriously injured 17 people in my town the same night I lost my virginity. Or as I'd like to say "a solid example of why getting laid is better than riding a farris wheel" True Story.

When I was little, my parents took me to the county fair. Dad took me on the ferris wheel while Mom & big brother stayed on solid ground and ate fair food. While the wheel was loading, and my Dad and I were at the very top of the wheel and looking out over our town (Dad pointing out things in town for my amazed little-girl eyes), some sort of cable snapped. It whipped a girl in the face, in the car right in front of us. The ferris wheel groaned and tilted off-center. My mother and brother were watching all of this from the ground. I was so little, I don't remember a whole lot after that, just lots of screaming. They got everyone off the ferris wheel before anything more disastrous happened. I'm not a big fan of ferris wheels now.

I remember when there were like 10 really funny ones... now there are hundreds of fucking stupid ones on tumblr. God dammit hipsters ruin stuff fast.

I always think the same thing whenever I go to SM. I have never ridden the ferris wheel there. And I don't plan on it.

I think the Santa Monica pier ferris wheel has been sold to OKC.

[–]manicleek[!] 0 points1 point ago

That isn't Santa Monica pier, it's Blackpool Central pier

[–]wise_comment -1 points0 points ago

It's okay

as long as you and your wheel-brethren consider your riders annoyances

then it's almost justified

[–]confusionion -3 points-2 points ago

Ironic because the original Ferris wheel did (somewhat) fall apart and was eventually dismantled for scrap.

[–]theusernameiwanted 0 points1 point ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

No it didn't. It was part of the Chicago World's Fair, built by George Ferris. It was Burnham's final addition to the fair to make it great, something to compete with the Eiffel tower in France.

The Ferris wheel did amazingly. It lasted the entire time, although it may have been closed down on the final day of the fair since it doubled as a wake for the assassinated Mayor of Chicago, Carter Harrison.

What happened to it was that it was dismantled, although not for scrap. They put it back up near Lincoln Park about a year later (iirc).

The architect, Ferris, got fucked over in a money deal so he was very poor, forcing him to cell the designs to a circus. That is why it is everywhere today.

GET YOUR FACTS STRAIGHT.

[–]confusionion 0 points1 point ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

Believe it or not, we are both right. On it's original run observers (and the workers who rode around on the scaffolding) were showered by bolts and metal falling from the amazing new contraption. It was disassembled and reassembled twice before eventually being blown to bits in 1906.
I can see where you'd think I was wrong since you only had some of the facts.

[–]theusernameiwanted -1 points0 points ago

Interestingly enough, we ran into an age old philosophical question here.

If you dismantle a boat, piece by piece, take everything apart, and then move it to a separate location and re-build it the same exact way, is it the same boat?

I guess I say no, while you say "yes".
