Cody's Showdy.

[–] Wolf@lemmy.today 6 points 6 days ago

My uncle's name is Cody, he is 39. Unfortunately no one has strangled him yet. 🀞

[–] HEXN3T@lemmy.blahaj.zone 4 points 6 days ago

8th for me. Can confirm otherwise, though.

There are less than 300k people named Cody in the US

It's just not a very popular name

The real name of Youtuber Alternate History hub is Cody, and he is probably in his Thirty's by now.

A disproportionate number of them become NFL quarterbacks. Who then end up playing for the Cleveland Browns, which kills them.

I met one. He was an asshole.

Damn..the one Cody I knew committed suicide and it was before 34

[–] faintwhenfree@lemmus.org 1 points 6 days ago

No way a bloke on my street named Cody died in car accident at the ripe age of 33. Conspiracy is real. /s

live news person / world's hairiest seventh grader reaction

Cody's Showdy gets no respect.

I think it's consistently good occasionally great, and they crank out a lot of content (like besides weekly videos they do podcasts multiple times a week)

e; Oh, the show is called Some More News and the podcast is Even More News btw

[–] Lifecoach5000@lemmy.world 8 points 1 week ago

I was made aware of his stuff after one of his appearances on the Behind The Bastards podcast. Some More News is good stuff!

[–] CosmicTurtle0@lemmy.dbzer0.com 4 points 1 week ago (1 children)

It's similar in terms of detail to Last Week Tonight but not as funny.

[–] Oni_eyes@sh.itjust.works 3 points 6 days ago

It does get a lot more information and nuance though. Last week tonight only runs once a week. I don't know that Last Week Tonight cites all of their sources for each episode like Some More News does.

[–] NatakuNox@lemmy.world 13 points 1 week ago

Turn out the only alive adult Cody is locked away in a room with only fox news and the communist Manifesto as info... For his safety of course

[–] NinePeedles@sh.itjust.works 41 points 1 week ago (1 children)

I had a friend named Cody who was a straight A student, changed schools in 7th grade, fell in with a bad group of kids, got into a car accident, fell into a coma, lost site in one eye, and now coaches snowboarding. Not dead, though

[–] misterdoctor@lemmy.world 16 points 1 week ago

Not dead, though

Yes dead inside doesn’t count

[–] AeonFelis@lemmy.world 23 points 1 week ago (2 children)

That's because when they grow up it is no longer acceptable to use that nickname and they go by Codward instead.

[–] FooBarrington@lemmy.world 8 points 6 days ago (1 children)

That's an Irish name and it's pronounced "Doug".

[–] fibojoly@sh.itjust.works 3 points 6 days ago

I thought it was Codsworth

[–] Carvex@lemmy.world 23 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago) (1 children)

I managed a Cody whom I called Codeine because he was a such a dope. 30ish, sold himself as a technician. In a car shop, pulled a ceiling mounted air hose over the left front fender to fill the rear tire, scratched the paint badly from the gritty hose. Left the bosses rolling stool under the alignment lift and heard plywood cracking as he lowered it, didn’t bother stopping until it was flat. Found out a week later he left the tierod nuts loose after adjustment. Left a flathead screwdriver in his back pocket and popped a hole in the customer seat. Worked one full day, sent home at lunch the next day with a full days pay, worth the price to get rid of him.

[–] DeceasedPassenger@lemmy.world 26 points 1 week ago (1 children)

I was thinking that was dude's first month from the way you were describing it. One day?! He's like a walking condom advertisement!

Got a nickname like that in a day and a half.

[–] chrisbtoo@lemmy.ca 20 points 1 week ago (2 children)

That's because Cody is short for Come On Die Young.

Cum Once Die Young

[–] douz0a0bouz@midwest.social 19 points 1 week ago

I have a cousin named Cody... that I haven't seen since high school πŸ€”πŸ€”πŸ€”πŸ˜―

[–] Goretantath@lemmy.world 16 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Isnt there a youtuber called codyslab? He looks pretty old.

[–] boonhet@lemm.ee 5 points 1 week ago (1 children)

WhistlinDiesel is in his 20s too. Though portrays himself as having the intelligence of a 7th grader, so maybe that got him alived

[–] ChickenLadyLovesLife@lemmy.world 1 points 6 days ago (1 children)

Uh, is that really a "portrayal"? Dude hangs out with Jake Paul.

[–] boonhet@lemm.ee 1 points 6 days ago* (last edited 6 days ago)

Dude is a millionaire in his 20s and got there by destroying expensive cars he needs to buy first. He's got at least 2 businesses besides YouTube that he uses his videos to advertise for, because destroying increasingly expensive cars is not sustainable and he knows it.

I can't stand some of his recent videos either, but to call him stupid is definitely an overstatement. Not saying he's a genius, but he must have at least average intelligence to have gotten to where he is.

To the best of my knowledge, he didn't exactly grow up with money either. He was pretty poor when he started making videos

[–] some_guy@lemmy.sdf.org 11 points 1 week ago

Or switches to their middle name to avoid the shame of being "Cody."

[–] Blackout@fedia.io 11 points 1 week ago (1 children)

They usually change it back to Cod Liver Oil when they become adults

Nah, Cody teaches jujitsu at my kids’ afterschool program and looks to be in his early 30’s.

[–] SharkAttak@kbin.melroy.org 3 points 1 week ago (1 children)

So you're going to need a replacement soon?

[–] deegeese@sopuli.xyz 2 points 1 week ago
[–] Sam_Bass@lemmy.world 5 points 1 week ago

The few codys I've met all wound up in logistics and/warehousing

I’ve never met a Cody, period. They aren’t common here.

[–] lightnsfw@reddthat.com 3 points 1 week ago

I knew a Cody grade but I don't have any memories of him after that. Theory checks out..m

[–] hakunawazo@lemmy.world 3 points 1 week ago

Riptide anyone?

[–] logicbomb@lemmy.world 3 points 1 week ago

I don't know about "executed", but if you go by the Matchbox 20 song Kody, there might be some mental health problems.

[–] Banana@sh.itjust.works 3 points 1 week ago

A friend of my husband's is a Cody and teaches at their old school now!

[–] hperrin@lemmy.ca 2 points 1 week ago

Cody & Ko! Noooo! Watch out!!

Cody Ko... but he probably likes seventh graders
