We have the expression (well in English for those unaware of it) of a stopped clock being right twice a day for a reason. Guess that expression is probably going to the wayside these days though. Even the worst people make an agreeable point now and then afterall.

[–] Railing5132@lemmy.world 11 points 6 days ago (1 children)

The oft-forgotten full phrase is: "a broken clock is right twice a day, but you still wouldn't use it to tell time."

Similarly, often in reference to corrupt cops or politicians: "one bad apple spoils the whole bunch."

Aren't most of those "full phrases" made up inventions from Tumblr?

[–] Railing5132@lemmy.world 1 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Well, those two in particular were used heavily by my elders growing up in the 70s, so it predates the web by a little bit.

[–] KSPAtlas@sopuli.xyz 1 points 2 days ago

Well I guess I was mistaken in this case, I've just heard a lot of fake versions of these so I assumed this was the same

In Germany we say, that even a blind chicken will find a grain sometimes.

THIS guy?

Yeah no. His opinion doesn't matter.

[–] pyre@lemmy.world 6 points 6 days ago

i thought those muscles only existed in comic books

[–] can@sh.itjust.works 4 points 6 days ago (1 children)

Assuming that's the one with the correct take: yes it does matter, him going out there and making sure his opposing opinion is know is a good thing. It doesn't directly matter to us over here, but he has a large audience and broadly that is a good thing for us.

That one is Jake, he's the one in the op at the bottom, with the intolerant opinion. He's playing a heel character here.

The other is Logan, with the message of tolerance, who is playing a face.

Neither of them is being genuine, they are just looking for attention. Both of them.

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

At this point I'm willing to take the one sharing a tolerant opinion.

[–] Wildmimic@anarchist.nexus 4 points 6 days ago

shame he didn't break his fingers in addition to his jaw.

[–] venusaur@lemmy.world 2 points 6 days ago

Too many hits to the head and already had an intelligence deficit

[–] FrostyTheDoo@lemmy.world 41 points 6 days ago (1 children)

They've mastered the art of getting people to pay attention to them. Neither of them give a single fuck about the super bowl halftime show

[–] BarneyPiccolo@lemmy.today 2 points 6 days ago

Not totally true. They appreciate the Super Bowl giving them a vehicle to continue to gain attention for a week.

[–] bitwolf@sh.itjust.works 20 points 6 days ago (2 children)

Imagine calling a boycott over a Superbowl concert and not something like

  • rent fixing
  • ticket price fixing
  • grocery price fixing
[–] MasterNerd@lemmy.zip 7 points 6 days ago

It's performative

[–] BarneyPiccolo@lemmy.today 3 points 6 days ago

Gas price fixing

[–] ToTheGraveMyLove@sh.itjust.works 26 points 6 days ago (10 children)

I don't even know who the fuck any of these people are.

[–] ickplant@lemmy.world 33 points 6 days ago

Trust me, it's better that way.

Those guys have had fake internet beef for years. They thrive on being controversial to each other. It is what made them famous in the first place.

I suspect this is yet an other aspect of this beef and they are only dong it for clout.

[–] Agent641@lemmy.world 5 points 6 days ago (1 children)

I wish their dad Ron Paul would just give them the solid backhand they deserve

[–] SethTaylor@lemmy.world 2 points 6 days ago* (last edited 6 days ago)

Wait, they play tennis? I thought they were boxers

EDIT: Oooooooh

I cannot believe that even once, I agree with suicide forest, crypto bro con artist, rug pulling Logan Paul. Even if this is just for attention, like some suggest, it's at least better to have someone wildly popular with younger people (somehow) to be saying this.

[–] D_C@sh.itjust.works 14 points 6 days ago

He's a way to tell them apart...
One is idiotically stupid, and the other is stupidly idiotic.

I hope that helps.

for once i agree with jesus. three day blinding stew

[–] SaharaMaleikuhm@feddit.org 8 points 6 days ago (1 children)

The guy who got his jaw broken is the younger and dumber of the two (based solely on this twitter interaction)

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

Dumber is a stretch, but yes

[–] mavu@discuss.tchncs.de 7 points 6 days ago

I chose to not waste brain cells on trying to tell them apart.

[–] AlexLost@lemmy.world 3 points 6 days ago

They say that one day and then get angry the next when the rest of us do the thing he wants us to do, but not the way (to whom) he wants us to do it to. Hypocrite is the word.

[–] NigelFrobisher@aussie.zone 2 points 6 days ago

The balls on this guy going around with a {surname} {given name} naming format though.
