Omnibus Stupid MFers in the news thread (Part 1)

Hey! I’m trying to retain some of my naivety here!!

Googling things certain people tell you about (like lemon parties) sounds like Stupid MFer behavior! (I’m just trying to tie this back to the thread title, not aiming at anyone here.)

There’s also no entry in the dictionary for “gullible”.

I don’t know where you are getting your information. It’s been there every time I’ve checked.

Then it seems I’ve been fooled by some dastardly storyteller. :crazy_face:

It only shows up if you work your way back from the “Z”s. If you start from the “A”s, it’s not there.

With a username like that, you should know.

You’re not paying attention - with that username, they wouldn’t know. @zyxwvutsrq must have sent a PM.

Whenever the topic of surströmming comes up, I’m obliged to post this video of a bunch of Irish twentysomethings trying a can. The opening is the funniest 17 seconds on YouTube.

One of my favorite channels.

I especially love the redheaded girl with glasses, who tries to hide under the table, as if that will protect her from the stink.

the name of it is fun to say, and that is about all that is fun about it.

the opening of the can is seriously funny.

Great video, but your link cued to 20 seconds in. The opening of the can at the beginning is the real treat.

I love the dude with the long hair opening the can. “We’ve gotta eat it. (GAAAAAGGGGGGS).” :smiley:

Damn. Sorry. Try this. You’re right, the first twenty seconds is the best part.

ETA: nope, that didn’t work either. Crap. Well, just forgive my digital ineptitude and go back to the beginning of the video.

Dang!
I could have had serious bragging rights a while ago.
I might have had Covid a few months ago. What I did have is a complete loss of my sense of smell. Overflowing holding tank? Nope. Cigarettes? Nope. Compost in an enclosed and very warm place? Nope. I think I might have been able to manage surströmming.

This one tells you all you need to know about surströmming.

My favorite viewer comments:

  1. It doesn’t taste as bad as it smells. But it smells like death so that bar is quite low.
  2. You will burp the taste of death for at least 24h afterwards.

Do some people actually enjoy it? Well, I guess that it’s a product that exists, the answer must be yes, but how? What explains anyone enjoying something like this?

I understand people like different things, but this seems extreme. Like there’s a group of people who enjoy feces for breakfast,

When it is recommended that you open the can underwater, that should be a red flag.

Probably no one likes it, but everyone is deathly afraid to be the first to admit it.
