First world repost.

[–]i_love_younicorns 6 points7 points ago

i've seen this on reddit at least 20 times before.

That's a real problem. It was discovered recently that the speed of tweet is greater than the speed of an earthquake, as people at the center of a major quake immediately stopped to post about it, and people farther away received those tweets before feeling the quake themselves.

That is really, really neat.

Just wondering OP, did you spend the day pulling content from reddit to repost on reddit?

[–]LaterGatorPlayer 3 points4 points ago

Am I the only one to notice the giant club of a left arm the stick-person has?

[–]donny30489 -1 points0 points ago

It's like stick figure Pop-eye...

[–]AurelieAnna 2 points3 points ago

It says nothing about Redditing it. :3

[–]CHECKyoSIX 0 points1 point ago

anyone else notice the engraving above the sign says PARIS? what does this represent?

[–]Freshenstein 0 points1 point ago

Back in my day we didn't tweet when our houses were on fire. We posted in IRC Chat Rooms instead.

Example

[–]zop1o 0 points1 point ago

In case of fire, break the glass and go off unto your own

[–]SippinOnaTallBoy 0 points1 point ago

It's amazing how much I see this really.

Good god this is the 30th time this has been reported. How has it been Upvoted this far!

[–]blackomegax 0 points1 point ago

This is from Defcon. Last year.

[–]mrmolotov -1 points0 points ago

This is a terrible sign. Natural selection needs to happen somehow.

[–]VLDT -1 points0 points ago

Twitter was invented to kill off people like this in fires.

[–]terrapinbear 0 points1 point ago

Agreed.

[–]hedeman -1 points0 points ago

I'd rather put there: Tweet or Fb it as much as you like and Buuuuurn you fricking social media freak.

[–]JohnDoeNuts -4 points-3 points ago

I can't help but think of those poor souls who are updating their facebooks in the elevator.

[–]dharh -2 points-1 points ago

But if I don't tweet it NOW it will be old news! I tweet while I burn so the people get the front line news as it happens. I am a reporter!

[–]docdizzle -5 points-4 points ago

"Omg teh bilding ish burning lawl" burn and dies

[–]Autsin -2 points-1 points ago

Why not just take the elevator? Then you can tweet while you exit the building.

[–]Thue -2 points-1 points ago

[–]RepostsOnReposts -2 points-1 points ago

I don't think this is 100% correct; I always like to get error reports before exiting the program, otherwise it's a bitch to hunt down the bugs.

[–]REVIEWS_STUFF -3 points-2 points ago

Clicking on this post, I was excited, because I am a big fan of the first world problems meme. However this wasn't quite it, but it was still funny. It appears to be a sign instructing people in case of fire to leave the building before tweeting about it. I enjoyed this, because lately people seem to be way into twitter, and literally say anything that happens to them. Another element that adds to the fun of this post is that it's quite possibly out there in the real world, (in France, it would seem) and not just a picture created to be shared with reddit. All in all, if you were considering clicking on this post, trust me, it is well worth it. Thank you, JiveMonkey.

I forgot how the French love to write their emergency exit signs in English...

[–]ktupvoter -3 points-2 points ago

This was actually the first link I ever clicked on during my first day on Reddit.
