Thank you for this

[–]Insomaniacc 107 points108 points ago

Reddit posts are getting as bad as 9gag.

[–]DanielLikesPie 9 points10 points ago

You can probably thank the Obama AMA for that, I wouldn't doubt Reddit got an influx of newbies recently because of that.

[–]Eckus 71 points72 points ago

First of all, I saw this image when i was using fucking NETSCAPE NAVIGATOR. Second of all, it's an ultra repost.

[–]azoq 43 points44 points ago

And strangely enough I've never seen it.

[–]kiqrgwe 13 points14 points ago

Guess we better start spending more time on the internet.

[–]ThatGirlChantelle 2 points3 points ago

I second this!

[–]koppeh 1 point2 points ago

You can spend more than 24 hours a day on the internet?

[–]jabberworx 12 points13 points ago

this image is so old the car in it is actually younger than the age of the image!!

Yea, I-wait, what?

Un-square them eyes. I've been Sober Sally for 2 years, dawg.

[–]adamwhoopass 0 points1 point ago

Congratulations man! Keep it up!

[–]th0991 0 points1 point ago

I actually felt kind of conflicted about it. Great, he's been sober for 2 years! And then... but wait, that means it took him 8 to finally get sober since 2002.

Regardless, good on 'em.

False. Ferrari 599 GTB was first released in 2006 as a 2007 model. You're welcome.

[–]M0b1u5 16 points17 points ago

Let's see how far back in time we can go?

Dancing Baby, anyone?

[–]BanD1t 10 points11 points ago

Not far enough

[–]bumblescott 4 points5 points ago

What's that?

[–]neverenderlyrics 2 points3 points ago

The first image ever posted to the internet. No, I'm not kidding.

[–]Electrifired 2 points3 points ago

I would really, really like a citation for that.

[–]neverenderlyrics 2 points3 points ago

As you wish.

How can you be sure?

[–]neverenderlyrics 2 points3 points ago

because these women were there when the web was invented. The words over their heads mean the horrible CERN girls. CERN was the organization commonly attributed with the invention of the internet. sauce

[–]bumblescott 1 point2 points ago

I like-a da sauce...

[–]BBrown7 16 points17 points ago

False. pure-gold ferrari, or any car for that matter would probably reach only a max speed of like, 15 mph opened wide due to the weight of the gold.

[–]trampus1 2 points3 points ago

We need a math guy in here to calculate the surface area of the Ferrari and find out how much that'd weigh in gold.

[–]BBrown7 1 point2 points ago

Hey. I'm on my way to school now, so when I get home I will do it.

[–]BBrown7 1 point2 points ago

I have done the math

Disclaimer: This is a rough estimate and nothing that I say should be taken as fact.

  • The pure-gold (as in completely gold) ferrari would weigh ~4554lbs which is 1.22% heavier. Meaning the vehicle that already has a top speed of over ~205MPH would be able to reach only ~168MPH.

  • A gold plated ferrari would weigh ~4300lbs. Meaning the vehicle would only about to reach ~172.2

  • I was proven wrong.

[–]AMBsFather[!] 6 points7 points ago

Just gold plated my friend.

[–]BBrown7 19 points20 points ago

at my college with my pure-gold ferrari

lawyered

[–]krangksh 2 points3 points ago

It's a vague statement, he was implying that it is coated in pure gold.

OBJECTION

[–]BBrown7 0 points1 point ago

Exactly. It's a vague statement which means it is completely gold or gold plated. Either way it'd be a useless car. I will do the math before the day is over.

WAITING

[–]ProfBatman 59 points60 points ago

As an American college student, I find myself annoyed by the absurdly rich Saudi international students we have at my university. Great, daddy bought you an expensive Western education so you can drink and womanize for 4 years before you go back home and continue executing homosexuals and treating women like slaves. Awesome, glad you're here, please go ahead and double park your Mercedes where ever you like.

[–]DrChiliPepper 26 points27 points ago

I'm an Arab American at an American university. My hobby is to make drunk snobby Saudi students feel really guilty. I do it by subtly bringing up their parents and their upbringing while they drink or break other Saudi social norms, then I listen in while they talk amongst each other in Arabic expose whatever they are saying about girls/other guys in english. It has results are always priceless when they realize I too am Arab. I'm evil.

That being said there are some rich Saudis who are really cool. Others just make my people look bad.

[–]ultimatechase 0 points1 point ago

That is the saddest hobby I have ever heard of. You should check out video games or frisbee or something man.

[–]Will_Not_Grow_Up 0 points1 point ago

Any particular stories you remember? I do this too, but with Mexicans (I'm very light colored compared to other Mexicans. BTW If a Mexican randomly just starts speaking Spanish and only Spanish, yeah they are talking shit.

[–]mkvgtired 37 points38 points ago

We had some rich Saudis and other ME and central Asian students at my college as well. None were in the ruling families though. I had some pretty heated conversations with them, but never could get any of them to even question the way things are done back home, despite the womanizing, drugs, and alcohol they indulged in here. All were male as well.

I dont understand how they can sit in a classroom listening to females constructively participating and still deny they have the right or ability to.

[–]jon_titor 19 points20 points ago

My dad is a dean at a university in the US with many Saudi students. He's told me that pretty much every semester he has to meet with a Saudi student who made a formal complaint for a grade change, and that every single time it has been over a female professor that the student didn't think had the right or authority to give them a poor grade.

Edit: I should also add that my mom works/volunteers with a Saudi grad student organization, and as far as I know everyone in that group has always treated her with respect and she enjoys working with them.

[–]griffsterb 4 points5 points ago

I don't understand, I've never heard of this before. We had a lot of Chinese and Indian students at my university but I never recall any rich Saudis. Is it more of an East coast thing maybe?

[–]ProfBatman 0 points1 point ago

I believe we have some kind of exchange program.

[–]coleosis1414 9 points10 points ago

The rich Saudis = infinitely worse than frat guys

[–]DatTriple -5 points-4 points ago

Somebody's jealous :D

[–]ProfBatman 0 points1 point ago

Jealous of a culture that doesn't allow beer, pork, or scantily clad women? No.

[–]redbullcoke -3 points-2 points ago

You sound racist and jealous at once.

[–]happyearmuffs 3 points4 points ago

im sorry this... we're better than this. THIS?!?!

[–]Campeador 14 points15 points ago

Last time I checked, Berlin didnt use dollars...

[–]terrible_comments 4 points5 points ago

The only thing new to the Internet are picks you take yourself. If you found it on the net, there is a good chance its a repost. (excluding original content)

I've got an idea! I'll save this picture and then post it in 3 weeks and rake in the karma!

[–]rageblock 0 points1 point ago

and ill be there to make sure you dont

[–]another1ofthose 3 points4 points ago

I find it obnoxious that people often find negative views in most everything, can someone honestly say that they wouldn't like to have those resources at their fingertips?

[–]eblees 0 points1 point ago

yes exactly why do people always let envy define their perception of the world.

[–]another1ofthose 0 points1 point ago

Sarcasm?

[–]eblees 0 points1 point ago

no

Couldn't tell. Thanks for the answer.

I've used reddit for over a year, almost daily and I haven't seen this before. So everyone should just CALM DOWN.

[–]sexandpopsicles 2 points3 points ago

do they use US dollars in berlin now?

[–]Fishstixxx16 0 points1 point ago

Deutsche Marks!

[–]DisapprovingSeal 1 point2 points ago

The Euro, actually. Though some major banks will still exchange Marks for Euros.

[–]Fishstixxx16 0 points1 point ago

I know, I was just kidding. I was just in Germany spending my hard earned american dollars.

[–]DisapprovingSeal 1 point2 points ago

Just making sure. Hope you enjoyed the visit. I'm sure the shops did.

[–]Fishstixxx16 1 point2 points ago

I spent most of it on beer. :)

[–]DisapprovingSeal 1 point2 points ago

Is there really anything else to buy? Besides the schnitzel, of course. And the Rouladen, and the Gulasch, and the Wurst, and the… I should stop now, I'm getting hungry.

[–]Fishstixxx16 1 point2 points ago

Really, that's all I spent money on. Beer and food. I bought a couple cliche t-shirts and shot glasses, but that's it.

[–]DisapprovingSeal 0 points1 point ago

Sounds similar to my visit. Except instead of a t-shirt, I bought a hat and those pins that go with it that you buy when you reach certain mountain tops.

[–]Fishstixxx16 0 points1 point ago

Mine was a trip for business school, so we spent a lot of time at different corporations and businesses... car manufacturers, radio/tv stations, etc.

[–]Iron_Maiden_666 0 points1 point ago

You should have gone there next month if you wanted to enjoy Bavarian beer.

[–]TheVeeginator -1 points0 points ago

I saw a variation of this where it was written as a good gesture that he was getting the train. As though in giving him the train, his colleagues and teachers could ride with him for free.

[–]freddybear 0 points1 point ago

Dad, I need a shower!

[–]redbullcoke 0 points1 point ago

What a car. Damnit.

DADS!! They just don't understand college money problems, amirite???

[–]NotAlwaysAppropriate -3 points-2 points ago

I've never seen it before. Have an upvote on behalf of all those who are new to Reddit, have jobs, or have other hobbies.

[–]Naxza -2 points-1 points ago

Somehow, the Wisconsin sign on the front page is more racist than this?

[–]Deluxx00 -2 points-1 points ago

What's more sad than reposts is when 90% of comments are talking about nothing but reposts (now, including my comment)

[–]BGYeti -3 points-2 points ago

Because Germany uses US currency....

[–]Muujahed -2 points-1 points ago

you think all Saudi'xs are rich ? lol u don't know any thing guys

[–]Hotrootsoup 1 point2 points ago

First off, this repost is like 10 years old at least, and secondly, who said that all Saudi's are rich? The picture only talks one rich dad and his son.
