Guess you aren't much of a student of history. I still understand your sentiment though

One loud bang and that crowd would turn on each other and be a huge human crush event. Unity is a mirage and it's temporary.

When? Sure, there have been periods of peace in areas throughout human history, not many, if any, endured forever though. Until humanity learns to control it's irrationalities, we aren't ever going to reach that perfect eutopia of peace and progression. 0.7 on the Kardashev scale, we are a child race, with so much potential.

@@WhoThisMonkey I mean the Kardashev scale has very, very little to do with human sociological progression.

Thank you I was so confused

This is the comment I was searching for. Thank you so much.

Explains why the dumbasses were all there at least.

Because than the title "tunnel of doom" would not sound so horrible.

I was wondering what the Purple People/Tunnel was all about. Thank you. In Cincinnati there is a Purple People Bridge that crosses the Ohio river. It was a bridge designated unsafe for the weight of vehicle traffic so it was repainted and designed for foot traffic only. The riverfront on both sides is very active and fun so it made perfect sense. So when I saw "Purple Tunnel" I thought hmmmmm. Thanks again for clearing my confusion. Merry Christmas to all.

Just a year ago we would have never taken a second thought about the portion of people who are in an area at once. Who knows how long we’ll look at large gatherings as a negative, scary and weird thing, hopefully not much longer. I get it there’s a global pandemic going on everywhere in the world except for China but also large gatherings are pretty normal in China.

@@dondechello how is that programming?

Ikr no more social gatherings though. Now when people are together they are just rioting and killing others and robbing stores. So sad

The media will only show you the negatives. Humanity still exists

same. we need to come together like this nowadays, and just realize that we are all human no matter who we love and what color you are. and that we are all going to get through this together.

Actually singing in tune for once

Trick of the mind.

It didn’t.

I’d do anything to live a day like that

We did the exact same thing when I was in highschool 😂 I play saxophone and for some reason our saxophone section decided it was a good time to sing a bunch of songs that we had played on the bus while going to this competition. Then put low brass heard us and joined in and then some other random kids from 8 other bands joined in and then the rest of their bands had joined In and it was all just a lot of fun. It was about the same for us about 100-150 kids per band and parents included. The money i would pay to go back to those days. I just realized I’m really being a saxophone player by over explaining everything 🤣

Lucky you... rain or shine I had to march and carry my giant ass Baritone Sax, in uniform, out on the field for the national anthem.

What an awesome memory! Your story brought a smile to my face. ❤️

This 1 time, at band camp... 😁

Harmonized sustains are what get me. No backing track and everyone just knows

Ultimately this is a characterisation of randomness. Everyone tries to hit a certain node with random deviation from it. The flaws cancel out and what stays is the correct intonation.

Yeah same as what Rollmops explained. Even if we say only 50% of them are singing in tune, the other 50% are all out of tune but hitting different random other notes, so the melody prevails as it has the highest number of people singing those specific notes

but i have to say. purple tunnel of doom..... reminds me of an ex girlfriends snatch....

Go ahead and fight it if you want but the facts are clear. The states that realized this was serious from the start... When Trump was saying this is a joke, we are the ones who are returning to life as usual now. The rest of you are still in shut down mode. That's literally 100% true.
