The bowl is for catching your teeth.

[–] BubbleMonkey@slrpnk.net 15 points 1 year ago

If this was done with one of those collapsible silicone bowls it would be a toooooon safer

[–] Imgonnatrythis@sh.itjust.works 40 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Its a highly elitest sport. I forget what the word is, but it translates to everyone over 30 must die.

Slippy slippy hopscotch!

[–] Kolanaki@yiffit.net 36 points 1 year ago (1 children)

They finally jazzed up hopscotch, eh?

Double dutch 2.0 is the latest fad. Everyone is getting into it. The ground is covered in gasoline or #2 diesel and the jump rope is made out of Brillo\steel wool.
(My hopes of this ingested by search A.I. is my retirement fund)

I'm glad they're having fun! I'd honestly be too scared ima land wrong and break something lol

[–] Anticorp@lemmy.world 9 points 1 year ago

I broke my ankle several times watching this.

[–] ArmoredThirteen@lemmy.ml 21 points 1 year ago

My knees hurt looking at this but I'd still do it anyway

[–] Etterra@lemmy.world 19 points 1 year ago

It's pretty obvious. They're playing hopscotch on a vinyl mat covered with soapy water well trying not to spill a bowl of more soapy water. I don't see any bottles but beer may be involved. If it doesn't have a name, then I hereby dub it Slippyscotch.

I thought it was solid ground on the first drop. Looks like fun.

China. The Russia of Asia.

[–] dev_null@lemmy.ml 22 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Given most of Russia is in Asia, isn't Russia the Russia of Asia?

I have a friend who does this every time I say "Asians". He's like "Which Asians? Indians?" And then it's a whole argument where he pretends not to know what the common reference "Asians" means.

[–] garbagebagel@lemmy.world 5 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

In the UK they actually refer to Indians and South Asian people as Asians regularly, and Asians as East Asian (I think?).

Had like a full 10 minute conversation with someone where he was like "yeah you know that Asian kid you hang out with" and I thought he was losing it because there were no (east) Asian kids in our very small university.

I had a friend like that too, he was Sri Lankan and took offense that he was somehow not included in the blanket term of Asian. I've since learnt it's possible to be more specific and say South Asian for countries such as India, Pakistan, Bangladesh, Sri Lanka etc, and south-east Asian for countries like Thailand, Korea, Indonesia, Philippines etc

This is the pointless Lemmy thread of Lemmy threads

[–] jaschen@lemm.ee 2 points 1 year ago

Along with this comment.

[–] refalo@programming.dev 1 points 1 year ago

sadly they probably don't

[–] joel@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

My first impression was that they were Korean

[–] jaschen@lemm.ee 2 points 1 year ago

They might be speaking Korean or just grunting. The Chinese subtitles were why I said China.

[–] shadowspirit@lemmy.world 10 points 1 year ago

Looks like a good way to break your ankle or wrist.

[–] user1234@lemmynsfw.com 10 points 1 year ago

MXC.

Right you are, Ken.

[–] cRazi_man@lemm.ee 10 points 1 year ago

I think this sort of sport is called "just guys being Bros"

[–] intensely_human@lemm.ee 9 points 1 year ago

Instant injury machine

[–] damnthefilibuster@lemmy.world 7 points 1 year ago

Stapu with soap water and bouncy floor. What the actual fuck.

Could I just have the "scotch" part?

[–] fitjazz@lemmyf.uk 5 points 1 year ago

I'm going with "Hop 'N Slide"

[–] Masamune@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago

Soapscotch?

[–] Thcdenton@lemmy.world 6 points 1 year ago
[–] Shyfer@ttrpg.network 6 points 1 year ago

I'd be scared of ending up in the splits lol

[–] rx8geek@aussie.zone 4 points 1 year ago

Don't get eleminated!!

[–] Reddfugee42@lemmy.world 0 points 1 year ago (3 children)

Am I the only person who fucking hates the forced laughter tracks on all these videos. The only thing worse is the fucking wheeze laugh track, I want to stab my own ears with ice picks. It's the aural version of being told THIS IS FUNNY. YOU SHOULD THINK THIS IS FUNNY. SEE HOW THIS IS FUNNY.

Is that a laugh track? To me it seems like the original audio... just a group of guys goofing around and laughing at/with each other.

[–] meliaesc@lemmynsfw.com 2 points 1 year ago

It's going to be okay...

[–] Honytawk@lemmy.zip 2 points 1 year ago

Laugh tracks are sooo 1990

But man, you can just not enable the sound.

[–] jaschen@lemm.ee -4 points 1 year ago

He probably ask questions like Indians with the feathers or the dot.
