[–]elrobinto 98 points99 points ago

Really cool, but not wtf.

[–]jesp3r 18 points19 points ago

Is there a /r/truewtf or something like that? /r/wtf is becoming the new /r/funny, which of course isn't even funny to begin with...

[–]_pagan_poetry_ 21 points22 points ago

/r/spacedicks

[–]Squidmonkej 8 points9 points ago

We don't need a "truewtf". What we need is to stop posting and upvoting shit like this in /r/WTF. Post pictures of really weird shit instead. Remember a few months back when we were going back to our "roots"? That's where we should be, not posting pictures of awesome libraries.

[–]TheDreadGazeebo 3 points4 points ago

agreed, instead of making more and more niche subreddits, we should be moderating the quality of the ones we already have.

[–]snakeheads 1 point2 points ago

I agree, r/wtf should be only things that actually make the reader/viewer say "what the fuck?" I personally have been very disappointed in the stuff getting posted here. I don't come here to see things that are interesting, necessarily, I just want shit that's fucked up.

[–]MrIste 1 point2 points ago

No, we shouldn't. /r/wtf is about interesting or strange things that make you say or think "what the fuck". If you want gore and penises tied into knots, you go to /r/spacedicks or r/gore. Don't bring it here unless it's interesting gore, like the guy who jumped off of a highway and got decapitated on a fence.

[–]jesp3r 2 points3 points ago

I'm not particularly interested in gore, but more true "wtf" material. This post is an excellent example of quality material.

[–]b3tzy 0 points1 point ago

Clicked on it, saw the title in the URL, and backed off.

[–]Noobtard_McCancerfag 1 point2 points ago

/r/wat already exists apparently.

[–]djevikkshar 0 points1 point ago

how does one get into this /r/truewtf?

[–]jesp3r 1 point2 points ago

I guess someone has to start it. I'm not quite fond of the name "truewtf" though.

[–]JSA2593 4 points5 points ago

"whattheactualfuck" works better.

[–]djevikkshar 0 points1 point ago

it appears someone has started it and set it to private. i kinda misread your first post and assumed you were on the up and up on this truewtf.

[–]dat_face -1 points0 points ago

I'm glad this debate continues. Can't we just ban these noobs or populate /r/stupid with them?

[–]blackazndude 1 point2 points ago

It's time to stop browsing WTF for at least a week.

[–]jaico 1 point2 points ago

I don't know, the trash novels in the second picture made me think wtf.

[–]hexed448 16 points17 points ago

I live in kc and have yet to even see this in person.

[–]lurkdiggler 10 points11 points ago

KC redditors. Greetings. I have yet to see any of you in the wild.

[–]hexed448 3 points4 points ago

Greetings to you too.

[–]onecharmingschmuck 2 points3 points ago

I'm going to Buzzard Beach in an hour. I'll be the guy drinking a beer.

[–]abazabbah 3 points4 points ago

The Buzzard smells like pee =(

[–]Kwerti 8 points9 points ago

It's the parking garage of the KC public library.

[–]jayhawk_dvd 6 points7 points ago

Fellow KC redditors rejoice!

[–]bethanyj 4 points5 points ago

Do we all high five now or what?

[–]jayhawk_dvd 2 points3 points ago

I don't know, but I saw this earlier on reddit and it applies to how I feel seeing someone else from KC on reddit. http://i.imgur.com/7iNha.gif

[–]NUTELLA_TITS 1 point2 points ago

We don't high five around these parts. We hug. Hug me, goddamnit.

[–]Humperdink_Fangboner 0 points1 point ago

KC HUG

[–]Rrrrrrick 0 points1 point ago

My living room overlooks the library! Ive always wanted KC reddit friends. What is there, like 10 of us? High fives all around.

[–]D9Greek 0 points1 point ago

Love this "new" library-it's worth the trip downtown to check it out!

[–]hexed448 0 points1 point ago

ever since the p&l shit went in i kinda stay away form downtown. I do enjoy a first friday now and then.

[–]hexed448 0 points1 point ago

and every time i do go for first fridays i always seem to buy something at hammerpress i don't really need. damn i need to get to framing some things...haha.

[–]nalf38 0 points1 point ago

i moved away from kc right before they started construction on that whole riverfront section.

[–]xNeyNounex -1 points0 points ago

I live here too, but I havent been around there to see it either

[–]vnuejs 10 points11 points ago

Well...your library's parking garage is a bookshelf. That said, it's a pretty spiffy place.

Why is Romeo and Juliet so wide?

[–]ThomasAG 3 points4 points ago

The building in the background of the second pic is the building Jack Harness stands on top of on the Torchwood opening :)

[–]pspkiller91 0 points1 point ago

At one point the camera pans around and you can see where I used to live! If only for about 1/3 of a second...

[–]theirrelephant 5 points6 points ago

The bottom image is definitely the temporary library in Cardiff. I'm a Cardiff resident, and that's the newish block of flats behind it. Also, this is definitely not WTF. EDIT Also, that building isn't even a library anymore.

[–]pspkiller91 0 points1 point ago

Cardiff resident also seconding this. The flats are called Altolusso, an executive development of luxury apartments. Ironic that the library was behind what is now the homeless shelter.

[–][deleted] 2 points3 points ago

Wtf? Where's twilight?

[–]olympiclifter92 2 points3 points ago

Finally a fellow Kansas city citizen!

[–]Ponzer 2 points3 points ago

First thought, Charlotte's Web is not that big.

[–]greatgildersleeve 1 point2 points ago

That's what I was thinking. The Invisible Man, To Kill a Mockingbird and a tale of two cities are all the same length? Still, a great building.

[–]Crooooow 2 points3 points ago

19 days ago you posted that you were a Canadian. Today you have a real library in Kansas City and a fake library in Cardiff. Where do you live exactly?

Ladies and gentlemen, we have got ourselves a karma whore.

[–]Kibekt 1 point2 points ago

Oh yeah?

My library is a... library.

Top that motherfuckers.

[–]joshychrist 1 point2 points ago

I saw this library posted months ago. The exact same picture if I'm not mistakem. I sure hope you live in Kansas City because then I can forgive you.

[–]AureliusAltimus 1 point2 points ago

I run by that every morning during my morning run. Kansas City, Missouri. Never had this happen before this is really cool.

[–]UpTheIron 3 points4 points ago

Holy handjobs, batman! Somebody took a picture from the exact same angle on google images!

[–]Wizuhd 2 points3 points ago

I've seen this EXACT photo before. While it is possible that you live there and were just too lazy to take a photo, I'm betting this is not your library whatsoever. Also this shouldn't be in wtf. Shame

[–]mgill355 2 points3 points ago

No it's not.

[–]CrystalKU 2 points3 points ago

This blog doesn't even have the state correct, it is in Missouri, not Kansas. But yes, the books are along the parking garage for the library. It is still pretty when driving by it, at least the first picture with the classic literature, I haven't seen the second picture.

[–]bethanyj 1 point2 points ago

That's because the second picture isn't even from KC.

[–]Wycked1 0 points1 point ago

Came here to say this. Thank you.

[–]foreverstudent 0 points1 point ago

To be fair, it is only a couple of miles from the state line

[–]kelny 0 points1 point ago

Yes, but as a former KC resident living in Chicago, people making "Looks like you aren't in Kansas anymore" jokes have just gotten more and more painful over time. I never lived in Kansas...

[–]iGiveWomenOrgasms_jk 1 point2 points ago

And today is the day I unsubscribe from r/wtf

[–]WackyWarrior 1 point2 points ago

http://i.imgur.com/EXOAG.gif

[–]ThomasAG 1 point2 points ago

The second image is from Cardiff, UK. I drive past it a lot... but it's not our library.

[–]bogart1 1 point2 points ago

It's not a library, it's a parking garage. It's also not /r/WTF. It's also a repost.

[–]goldenf56 0 points1 point ago

theres one like that in mass. also

[–]Brian_Jacques 0 points1 point ago

oh ok snubbed...cool

[–]CrystalKU 0 points1 point ago

When I saw the sandcrawler library this morning, I hoped someone would post a picture of the KC library.

[–]Holly_the_Adventurer 0 points1 point ago

This is just a duck. Nothing special about that.

[–]Lessbeans 0 points1 point ago

I love our library (parking garage). It's amazing that we have some "up-and-coming" architecture around us! KC doesn't feel like a cultural mecca or anything, but a lot of our buildings and districts rival some of the biggest cities in the nation.

[–]gr8ch1mp 0 points1 point ago

do they ever change the books?

[–]JSA2593 0 points1 point ago

My library has a bookshelf. Many, actually. Top that!

[–]PreventFalls 0 points1 point ago

Oh shit, I live in KC. Not near there, but ya know.

[–]VernacularSpctacular 0 points1 point ago

This is not in alphabetical order or follow any kind of Dewey decimal system, I'd have an aneurysm if I had to walk by there everyday.

[–]jax1492 0 points1 point ago

way to re post something from years ago

[–]nottaprodigy 0 points1 point ago

My library has a fishtank...

[–]Rick_Roller92 0 points1 point ago

O_O I want to go to there...

[–]United99 0 points1 point ago

I absolutely love Kansas City.

[–]ThisIsMyCouchAccount 0 points1 point ago

Hello KC neighbor.

[–]rednotging 0 points1 point ago

KC love!

[–]ZiggyBoop 0 points1 point ago

Before I noticed the background, I thought the second image was a picture of an actual bookshelf for comparison. I was all, "Dude, I know what bookshelves look like."

[–]CONTEHhh 0 points1 point ago

used to go past this everyday... WEST WEST YALL!

[–]pintastico 0 points1 point ago

will people stop posting this picture please

[–]broostenq 0 points1 point ago

The two buildings in the pictures are thousands of miles apart. Neither of these are libraries. The bottom "library" doesn't even exist anymore. This is not in any way "WTF".

How the fuck does this have 1,400 upvotes? That's the real WTF.

[–]DeathBuffalo -4 points-3 points ago

Fuck off with the libraries.

[–]brotein-shake -1 points0 points ago

i've seen this before...where the hell is that? boston?

[–]humanman42 8 points9 points ago

Kansas City

[–]RiahGirl789 -1 points0 points ago
