1. Wait, this is a lady doing the pissing?
2. Why does this sound like RATM?
3. Why is there a trumpet?
4. Of course the volunteer is a fat old white guy in Florida.
5. Holy shit that's a lot of piss.

10/10.

I love that in 2021 it's just up on twitter.com instead of having to go to the dark web or liveleak. I also find it incredibly hilarious and fucked up that(although mostly harmless) this is going to follow these people around forever. Like how do you live that down after it goes viral like that?

They targeted gamers.
Gamers.
We're a group of people who will sit for hours, days, even weeks on end performing some of the hardest, most mentally demanding tasks. Over, and over, and over all for nothing more than a little digital token saying we did.
We'll punish our selfs doing things others would consider torture, because we think it's fun.
We'll spend most if not all of our free time min maxing the stats of a fictional character all to draw out a single extra point of damage per second.
Many of us have made careers out of doing just these things: slogging through the grind, all day, the same quests over and over, hundreds of times to the point where we know evety little detail such that some have attained such gamer nirvana that they can literally play these games blindfolded.
Do these people have any idea how many controllers have been smashed, systems over heated, disks and carts destroyed 8n frustration? All to latter be referred to as bragging rights?
These people honestly think this is a battle they can win? They take our media? We're already building a new one without them. They take our devs? Gamers aren't shy about throwing their money else where, or even making the games our selves. They think calling us racist, mysoginistic, rape apologists is going to change us? We've been called worse things by prepubescent 10 year olds with a shitty head set. They picked a fight against a group that's already grown desensitized to their strategies and methods. Who enjoy the battle of attrition they've threatened us with. Who take it as a challange when they tell us we no longer matter. Our obsession with proving we can after being told we can't is so deeply ingrained from years of dealing with big brothers/sisters and friends laughing at how pathetic we used to be that proving you people wrong has become a very real need; a honed reflex.
Gamers are competative, hard core, by nature. We love a challange. The worst thing you did in all of this was to challange us. You're not special, you're not original, you're not the first; this is just another boss fight.

I don't stream and I probably haven't bought any shirts in a couple years (also I never take eight minute long showers), how much gaming time does this earn me?

You can shower three times a week if you stay home the other 4 days, maintain social distance and wear a mask to cover the odor... So what we've been doing these past two years.
Was it all a drill? :hans1

- showered 2 times for 20 minutes today
- got back from the dentist, couldn't find a parking spot so spend 20 minutes or so driving around for fun before returning home
- watched video game Dunkey during lunch time
- played Age of Empires IV on a Samsung Odyssey G7 at max brightness with HDR
- played Forza Horizon 5 on a Samsung Odyssey G7 at max brightness with HDR
- turned on my OLED TV just to browse through the new releases on Netflix then forgot to turn it off
- watched some Russell Brand stuff
- watched some random funny videos that came up
- streamed Spotify throughout the day
- played around with my Hue lights
- had a nice steak dinner
- kept doing live remote server deployments to fix minor bugs because I was too lazy to fix my local server
- traded some crypto

y'all remind me I need to buy some new shirts. It's been a month.

Pretty sure that the Bore's collective carbon footprint for playing lots of games wouldn't come even remotely close to the business leaders and CEOs who flew on their private jets to all the climate conferences and whose businesses contribute a disproportionate amount of carbon into the atmosphere.

Proportionality aside though, it's not wrong to point out that a couple of billionaires flying in private jets aren't the problem, as much as mass industrialized production and general 21st century life style.
You can have Elon Musk take a bus, but if you still keep producing a hundred trillion tons of dogshit i doubt it's going to make much of a difference.

Few things speak to the sociopathic nature of an executive more than a plea for empathy because he may cry, even as he lays off 900 people immediately before the holidays.
