The cardholder one is actually pretty understandable. I can definitely see someone thinking "cardholder" means the device you're swiping the card through, in which case the strip would face away from you.

Legit worried for Robin's blood pressure bc he's always assigned the most frustrating subreddits

You'd be surprised how easy it is to swipe the wrong way when you're completely worn out and exhausted.

6:34 my friend had a "spontaneous lockdown drill" in HIGH SCHOOL. A student's dad ran around the school with a mask and a gun with blank pop rounds. My friend literally got "shot" at at 15 for a "drill". It's literally just inflicting trauma.

sometimes I think to myself "humanity isn't actually that bad!" then I see people doing so much of this sort of stuff that they need an entire subreddit for it.

I’d probably think the cardholder is the machine itself and get overwhelmed.

I have the IQ of an out of warranty toaster oven. I would appreciate the “you are a card holder” one immensely.

Robin having to deal with the worst subreddits for rage. He needs a nice fun one to rest his soul

Sometimes I feel really stupid, like I'm the dumbest man alive. But then Robin helps reminding me, that people like in this subreddit exist . Thank you Robin

Remember that sometimes "stupid question" is asked by someone who speaks Polish, french, german but not English and doesn't understand information in english. It doesn't mean he is stupid.

The story about the woman being institutionalized and lied to about her child was made into a movie called Changeling starring Angelina Jolie

Trust me, as a cashier. It wasn't one customer. It was many.

7:18 oh hey, this happened in my high school when I was 15! girls were told to wear different skirts because the male biology teacher could see up the stretchy ones that were being worn since we were on higher seats at higher desks and the material didn't fall. somehow it wasn't an issue for any other teacher until that one, not the female biology teacher before him who was in that classroom with that layout, not the much shorter female head of science who taught us for physics, and not even the male combined sciences teacher we had when we were 13/14. i still think the right thing for the school to do would've been asking him why he was looking under the desks in the first place and then fire him.

13:00 ... can confirm... doctors do have you come in for an appointment to tell you you have cancer (I work on cancer charts). They explain the treatment options, and have a nurse / counselor to help you process the info, and find out if you have barriers to treatment like transportation or childcare. I've only seen a very few cases where the patient is informed over the phone or email... and that was when the patient is already in the medical field and INSISTS , and if it's at a very early stage.

The one about the lady wanting her kid's feet injected with botox could be suuuuuuch a misleading title for an article. I have a condition called hyperhidrosis, which is excessive sweating. People can get it on different parts of their bodies, and certain types (depending on location) can be treated by blocking the sweat ducts with botox, like the armpits, the hands and the feet.

we had one of those spontaneous lockdown drills. only problem was the teachers were also not informed it was a drill. some teachers barricaded their rooms and a couple even handed out improvised weapons. Needless to say no one was amused when we realized the truth. Why people think stuff like this is ok is just insane to me.

Just remember 30 years ago the instructions on the back of things told you how to use it, nowadays they tell you not to eat or drinks the contents

Just a quick correction about the Christine Collins tweet. The LAPD didn't just find a random kid to fake, there was a boy claiming to be Walter (her son) and after people saw he was alledgedly her son (he was not) He was brought to the LAPD. The rest is true tho

In fairness of the "YOU are the cardholder" one, they could have just written some arrows of which way the card needs to face instead.

Let's make a petition to make Robin read subreddits like r/madlads, or r/mademesmile or something cute animal related-

14:12 well in their defense, the “WHAT THE HELL IS A KILOMETER 🦅🦅🦅🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸” is a meme and the dude responding got whooshed

0:22 Usually it would take about three people before someone leaves a sign up. I remember working at a convenience store. The self check-out couldn’t take cash, so we made a sign that said “Card Only.” Even so, people still saw the much smaller sign that said they could use cash, and tried to chew us out by yelling, swearing, threatening to sue for false advertisement, and throwing items, when it wouldn’t work for them. After the third incident, we had to add two more signs, and remove the one sign that came with the device. And yes, we did try to tell people you couldn’t use cash on the machine before we added the signs. Didn’t work.

“While people age like bananas.” The frick? Who says that to anyone, regardless of race or whether they have an eating disorder or not?

11:04 That guy actually mixed Sand into the Glue to make it Stronger/negate the use of Glue Remover

The REALLY sad part is, he credits Tate with that result, which means he did the test before and in the previous tests, he was dumber than LESS than 857 people and he was ABOVE the bottom 14.31% That’s what Tate does to people somehow.

Despite it being a really bad job, I am mostly thankful that my first job at Burger King at 15 gave me a front-row seat to how stupid people can be, and that's a lesson I've always carried with me

6:36 this happened to my school when I was in 6th or 7th grade. My class of 25ish students had to hide in this small storage room in between two classrooms. Everyone was crying and texting their parents. There were police shining lights in rooms and pounding on doors, and we didn't even know they were police at the time. Not to mention, this school was k-7th, so a bunch of little kids were terrified too. Luckily that was the only time they ever did a drill like that

7:45 I was actually like “This is fucked up, it’s just tattoos” but then I saw the image…

The case mentioned is definitely real, Eleanor Neale does a great video on it called the chicken coop/winesville murders. It's incredibly sad and horrifying and it's awful that the police did that

For me being an atheist isn’t believing there is no cook in the back, it’s knowing that the food has always been there ready to eat, so there is no need for a cook. 5:55

10:31 It's kinda depressing that some parents think it's ok for your friends to be kinder than your own parents.

11:34 5 yr old me with a pen and crayons: wait, you guys are getting paid?

3:27 This is good evidence for why parenting should require a license. When someone is publicly proclaiming they'll gimp their own kid over prejudices it's time to sew them shut.

Dude literally half of americas issues could be solved with an actually good education system and mental health system for kid in schools and adults.

Ok on the lockdown drill - I’m in NC, and my son’s school had one last week. The principal sent out a message to all parents advising that it was happening, all the kids knew it was a drill. How this school going to scare kids like that?!? Ridiculous! Bad enough they even have to do it in the first place.

13:08 reading the "diagnosis" text, it looks to me that it could just be an inter-staff message - the line "Dr __ has asked for you to do ... for the above patient" sounds like it's an instruction for someone working at the clinic. It mentions "forwarded letters", and a code, which also makes it sound like an internal message. It's still not a good message to send to a ton of actual patients, of course, but it doesn't read like a text that's meant for *any* patient to get. I don't work in the medical field though, I'm just giving my interpretation based on the information given, so I could be wrong on some part of this.

10:09 warhammer.. a game where you fight with each other in armies that you painted and worked on for. So in a sense they are still toppling kingdoms

1:50 Well that and it's probably more comfy then being stuck sleeping on the floor

Spanish is a Gendered language, meaning that most words that describe a person can either be feminine or masculine in which you add an A if you are feminine and O if you are Masculine; however there is a movement going around in Spanish culture which is having X added to the end of descriptive words

i hate the fact that a literal POLICE DEPARTMENT reunited a mother with a kid that wasn't hers instead of admitting they couldn't find her child. it would probably save their reputation if they admitted it but said they'd keep searching.

"SWIPE WITH STRIP FACING CARDHOLDER" is actually terrible signage and a good example of _nerdview,_ where instructions are written from the perspective of the designer rather than the user. The instruction is ostensibly talking to the user, but it describes them like they're a third person. So people will ask "what's the 'cardholder'"? The fact that you have temporarily become a "cardholder" because you pulled out your card is salient to the engineer, not to you. It should read "swipe with strip facing yourself".

8:10 bro turned into Homer Simpson 💀💀💀

9:29 Spanish changes depending on how the rest of the sentence is gendered. If a different word was feminine, it would be “no binaria.” If it was masculine, it would be “no binario.”

I still firmly believe you should only ask a person's height to figure out 1) how heigh things need to be hung around the shared house/apartment 2) Whom is going to grab things off heigh places 3) How big a bed y'all need. Asking it because "Well I want to know because tall dudes/short women are better" is dickish.

No I get the cardholder one. When it could’ve used user or operator or you, cardholder sounds more the the device even if it doesn’t hold the card

„I am not with a cardholder Skyler, I am the cardholder. A guy holds his card and gets it swiped, you think of me? No. I am the one who swipes.“

16:18 They enforce the law by requesting a marriage certificate at hotel check-in. If you can't produce one, you have to book separate rooms. I'm glad I visited Indonesia before that law. I'm not going back there!

7:27 You realize that the "employee" that was intrested in children's bodies was not a employee, he was probably the boss/manager/ceo. Whenever I hear about pedifiles, it seems that people in power are the majority

6:07 he needs to go outside

0:41 you are the card holder…

"Bird leaf" HAHAHA 🤣🤣🤣

fun fact, pirates raided a ship containing a prototype kilogram from France that was going to be given to then Secretary of State and supporter of the metric system Thomas Jeffersion. Unfortunately, the man who knew what the small platinum-iridium alloy cylinder was died of disease while the pirates held them hostage for ransom. After rescue, the package was delivered, but by then, Thomas Jefferson no longer held the office and the current Secretary of State had no idea what the cylinder was either. It was passed down through a family as an heirloom. There are many factors, but this may be the biggest one why we did not adopt the metric system: pirates.

2:25 yes. As we know, if there are good things about a country, not even the pettiest objective complaint is valid.

I would guess that enough people thought the cardholder was part of the magnetic reader. When put in that context, it's not so cringe, but still :P If we're talking about effective communication, the person who put the first line is kind of actually responsible since they could've just said, "Hold the card so the stripe is facing you." Anytime you have a sign that says something along the lines of, "Do something with . is 3," you know you fucked up the signage lol

14:30 that is clearly an ironic post...

8:52 Look. I get it. If you’re currently dealing with depression or a difficult time in your life, it can hurt to see people laugh and be happy. I lost my grandfather two months ago, and when I see my friends post about spending time with their grandpa it feels like my heart is being torn out of my chest. Does that mean I’m going to tell them to stop posting or talking about them? This gives you no right to butt in and complain about other peoples joy, let alone the simple act of laughter or giggle fits, which sounds like what was happening. There seems to be less and less of that these days. If you bitch about others being happy when you are not, you are an asshole. Plain and simple.

12:43 The day hundreds bacame Waltuh.

Robin has been through enough of these anger inducing subredits, so spread these painful subredits to jack and Lexi 😈

6:33 Oh god, my school said they planned on doing this. Thankfully they never did it, but they even said some needed therapy. It's scary to see that this is more common than I thought.

As someone who lives in the UK... yeah no that is how they do it (sending diagnoses via text or snail mail). Anything to squeeze more appointments into the underpaid GP's day.

9:34 Simple explanation: "masculine" and "feminine" refer to things in language unrelated to what they refer to in colloquial English. Words that end in "-o" or sometimes "-ma" or "-e" are "no binario" Words that end in "-a" or "-idad" or "-cion" or sometimes "-e" are "no binaria"

This was filled with more rage than usual and I guess that's what these people need.

5:47 I can become the cook

2:20 yeah that actually fucking happened. They did a whole movie about the case. I think it was called "Changeling" or something. Edit: I forgot to tell y'all the best part! That money she never got? That was roughly the equivalent of 185,000 dollars at the time. Collins lived to be 74

That Kilometer one is almost definitely in reference to a meme, with the American symbolism really driving it home. RIP anyone who thought that wasn't the case

Twitter burning down is actually the funniest thing ever because it’s not like it was even good before

Ok, I did the math for that gas related post. If it was over 120 dollars for a little over 6 bucks a gallon, they are buying rougly 20 gallons of gas. Most average cars have, at most, a tank capacity of around 15 gallons. What the hell are they doing with all that gas?

5:17 Two of these I can get behind. - Replaces conforming with thinking. Think things through, and don't do stupid shit just because your friends are egging you on. - Replaces TikTok with... well, anything really. However this only applies to a select group of people that don't know the difference between a challenge, and vandalism.

Principle of Masculinity on twitter: "A boy becomes a man when he replaces conforming with thinking." Also PoM: *lists a million other things you MUST replace in order to be a "man."*

7:05 I can understand this one to an extent because a high school in NC that is four miles away from mine and my mom is AP at had a hoax phone call saying there was a shooter and five kids and their female SRO was dead. It was all a hoax, but many NC high schools have been taking extra precautions and having more severe drills to ensure the readiness and safety of their kids. However, this should not be the reality we have to live in as children.

5:30 only millionaires can have steak and eggs anymore.

"What the hell is a kilometer?" Well, you see, it's the "klick" unit that the U.S. army has been using for, oh, over a century now.

2:15 They made a movie about this with Angelina Jolie called "Changeling". Go watch it. It's really good. And then go watch "Changeling" with George C. Scott because it's one of the best haunted house movies of all time. 2 great movies for the price of one!

10:22 Sorry to say, but privacy is a human right, and basic decency in behavior. Condemning your children to a life without privacy will make them leave your house as soon as they possibly can, even if they’re only 15. Why did you have kids in the first place if you’re not even going to care for them properly? And why don’t you just put them up for adoption so that a loving couple who will actually care for your children and give them the childhood they deserve instead?

Two fun facts on US metric system. 1. The reason we are on imperial system vs metric is partially because of the British. A British privateer boarded the ship and put into captivity French representative that was bringing the metric system over to President Jefferson to demonstrate it. As it was being considered to replace the customary weights and measures system in the early 1800's... Yeah. 2. The US government actually is fully metric and has been since the 70's. Everything done by the government is done in metric units... ex, fluids are measured in liters, roads are in kilometers, weather is in centigrade. These metric measurements have official 'American' customary unit conversions and that is what we (the people) use. Bonus Fact: The reason Americans call Soccer what the rest of the world calls Football is also because of the British. University of Oxford students in the 1880's came up with words to distinguish the two different sports known as football (rugby football, and association football). The two names were 'rugger' and 'assoccer', the latter then shortened to 'soccer'. By the 20th century though, the language had changed and Rugby football was just shortened to rugby, and football was then used to mean association football. In the US, a new sport emerged in the late 19th century that was a branch of Rugby football, this new sport, known as gridiron football, is what then took the name football as it was FAR more popular and was the source of what is now American Football, taking by popularity the name Football for itself. Meaning that association football needed a new name, and thus, the British slang term Soccer was used instead for association football and became the official name of the sport in 1945 with its name being codified as the US Soccer Association.

That Nick Adams guy is definitely something, he also claims that Hooters is a family friendly environment 😂

The "Top 15% IQ" one actually gave me so much second hand embarrassment some that I had to lay down for a little. That's comedically tragic irony if i've ever seen it.

Robin's anger do be throbbin with the subs he's being handed as of recently.

Seeing Fun and Cynide gone kamikaze like really give my tummy a cramp

"Why are you the cardholder?" "Who said I'm the cardholder?" "You are the cardholder."

Yes. All dogs are good boys/girls. If they aren't, it's the human's fault.

8:37 I thought he was just saying manslaughter weirdly to bypass the censors...

For the imperial system thing, it wasn't *too* long ago the last major push occured to transition the US to metric. In the 1970's there was a massive push to teach the metric system with the plan being to eventually transition the US over officially, however it was resisted and the plans were cancelled, however an interesting leftover is a single interstate highway out west somewhere is signed completely in metric as it was built during the failed transition period.

9:27 That's because "non-binary" doesn't always mean "neither male nor female", it can also mean things like "language that has more characters than just 1s & 0s".

No views,28 likes and 3 invisible comments💀

5:22 no no, they have a point replacing conforming with thinking, thats a good one so you can just think about all the other points in this list and objectively determine that their proposals are terrible

11:35 reminds me of when my church growing up had the bright idea to have local teenagers paint the bible studies room blood red. Eye searing and there were handprints all over the white ceiling. It legitimately made me not want to go to church being stuck in that for over an hour.

the more sad thing is that the person with "top 15% iq" payed 10 dollars to actually see the results

every notification of EmKay I usually don't watch the video but I still want to open it in a tab because of the title, the titles call to me but I refuse the urge because I usually have so many tabs open

3:37 "I have Feminist views" "Boys are already stronger than Girls."

9:28 I think it's referring to things like programming and variables since in so many languages every noun is gendered

On the gas thief 16 minutes in ... yeah, you aren't saving any money. You still owe the tab you ran from, and the court will make you pay. The fine is a punishment they tack on top of that.

it's fun watching blips in human thought processes

Oh it wasn't just one guy asking who "cardholder" is. Worked as a cashier, and can confirm... people lose braincells when checking out at stores.

To add to the measurement debate: It really is your personal responsibility to educate yourself on another measurement system if you need to. While most people don’t use imperial it still is common knowledge that a mile is 1,6 kilometers for example. The other way around is even simpler it’s literally just one length you have to remember. From there you can approximate every other weight length and volume

Emkay has found the new cardholder.

POV: You start to think the human race isn’t that stupid, then this video shows up 💀

I'm not the card holder, I AM THE KEYMASTER..... GET IT RIGHT 😂

11:48 this is my notebook when I'm bored in class
