Cringe is just too much, I cannot comprehend how anyone can enjoy watching cringe. It is just too cringeworthy

So I have this hobby, where me and a couple other guys on physicsforums hunt for crackpot posts before they get deleted and save them for our enjoyment. I know, probably says something not entirely flattering about my character.
But some are just so out there and absolutely amazing that I just can't help myself.
I find this post funny/amusing/ridiculous, in me it evokes feelings of laughter, incredulity, and sadness.

E: I'd also say that the imgur/reddit overlap is about 90%, rather than 100%. Some things are more specific to one site.

The way both of the communities are makes it impossible to know whether it was uploaded for imgur and posted on reddit or uploaded for reddit and posted on by imgur people.
you can actually see on imgur if it was uploaded by reddit or imgur

Halfway through the show, we'll be putting a pause to all live music and set in motion a FLESH TUG-O-WAR. 2 crazy motherfuckers stick metal hooks into their backs and tug their way to the finish line. Should be tops.

o_o Okay then. That's... that is certainly pretty metal.   

Now that is cringeworthy for sure.

There's some odd pleasure in knowing that you're not *that* socially inept.

Although there are fedoras. Fedoras EVERYWHERE!
There is no pleasure in that. That's like seeing someone burn alive, and thinking, "gee that's really made me notice just how *not* burning alive I am." The pain is real.

I think I've mentioned at least two.

His current one, which was mentioned not too long ago in the Tabletop thread, and his Secretly a God DMPC in an older campaign of his. Plus his bullshit succubus in the campaign he wants to run. His other DMPC in that campaign isn't too much better, being an infinitely reincarnating person as part of his backstory.

The current one is incredibly obnoxious though, and has come very close to outright hindering other players for lulz.
Eh, infinite reincarnation can be done well. Planescape:Torment or Dark Souls are pretty good examples. Given how you described the guy though, I'm guessing it's done terribly.

Mr. Infinite reincarnation being a pain in the ass? Try Imprisonment, and make sure it's a non-elf that casts it while everyone else is away. That way you can have a bard cast Modify Memory so that nobody remembers where they were imprisoned. That way, the only way they'll be freed is some moron randomly casting Freedom.

Then, to make sure nobody finds the spot while randomly casting Freedom, build a large fortress with tons of death-traps, plus a powerful artifact so that any other adventurers that attack the place think that is the goal of the place.

I picked up Hotline Miami 1 and 2 from the SSS, and I just absolutely hate it. I don't get why this game is so hype among people, it's annoying usually and just absolute shit during special fights.

Or have the spot to have to cast freedom inside a midden. Who's going to go into a pit full of poop to randomly cast Freedom? Nobody.

And if through bullshit he does escape, he still ends up in a pit full of poop. Win/win.

Depending on how the reincarnation works, or the power of the being, that won't work. If it's Dark Souls style, they can just suicide and get back up at a bonfire. If it's Planescape:Torment style, they can just bust out of Imprisonment.

2 was annoying piece of crap, but 1 was pretty good. Special fights were a bit of a weak point, but the great thing about 1 was that it was fast, one mistake could kill you, but the restart point being close by meant it wasn't that big a problem. A couple of missions towards the end were annoying for the same reason 2 is, like the sauna kinda place, big maps with plenty of enemies so one mistake sent you back a gorillion hours of gameplay.

We are doomed. It's just that whatever is going to kill us all just happens to be, from a scientific standpoint, pretty frickin' awesome.

It could be my own personal shortfall in intelligence, but I don't think they have a solid grasp on what gravity and inertia are.

... have we actually figured out what gravity is while I wasn't paying attention? Last I checked we knew a lot about what it does, but were still kinda' drawing a blank on what it is.

A question of "what something is" is a philosophical question, not physical.

Well, imagine space as a big cloth stretched really thin. And all the planets and stars and everything floating in space causes a dip in the fabric of the cloth. So the bigger the object the bigger the dip, so that anything that moves into that dip rolls down towards the object. And stuff.

Don't know if that explains what gravity is or if it just explains what it does but whatever it was fun to type that.

But if gravity is a dip does that make us tortilla chips?
