Evacuated Tube Transport

[Dinner]

Someone spent to much time watching Futurama.

Someone spent to much time watching Futurama.

My first thought as well.

The important information is this: 6:50.

I do NOT have enough free time to give nearly 7 minutes to exploring a video posted by MrFun. Especially since he couldn't be troubled to provide so much as a sentence explaining WTF it's about.

Summary: tubes are the transportation system of the future. And if we don't build a system of tubes first THE CHINESE WILL AND THEN WE'LL BE SORRY.

Something wrong with airplanes?

By not summarizing what the video is about, I can encourage lazy asshats to actually click on the damn video and - gasp - watch it for themselves.

If you don't watch this entire video then you're a LAZY ASSHAT



Possible reaction to a video with a summary: "Ooh, the summary says that this video is about widgets. I like widgets, therefore I will watch the video."
Most likely reaction to a video without a summary: "Jesus Christ, MrFun is the worst goddamned poster on apolyton, I wish that he would go choke on a dick." (Note that the reaction is identical regardless of who posted the video - no matter who posted the summariless video, it triggers memories of MrFun being a crappy poster.)

I think that sums it up. Links. Videos. Nothing about what thought it provoked, so you have to assume it provoked no thought. So why pay attention?

Sorry dude, 2 minute limit or give me a reason to invest my time.

And IMHO it's the person refusing to provide a decent OP who's the lazy asshat.

One hour in and I have this incredible craving for cherry pop-tarts.

[SlowwHand]

I need to find different friends.

If you can't figure out what the video is about while only skimming through it with no audio, then it isn't worth watching.

Yep.

I still haven't watched it.

I also assume that any video posted by MrFun, regardless of the supposed subject, would probably cut over to footage of two dudes butt****ing each other about a quarter of the way through - not as a joke (as this would imply that MrFun has a sense of humor), but as a way for MrFun to then post something sanctimonious like "if you were grossed out / surprised / any reaction other than aroused by the two dudes butt****ing each other then you are a terrible human being."

I stopped at three minutes. That voice is annoying.

[edit:] Also, high ROI. lol. The infrastructure costs alone would be massive.

[loinburger]

They just need to make sure that only tunnel through gold and platinum deposits
