The Amusing Pictures Thread

[Fifthfiend]

This thread is for the various hilarious images we find floating around the internet.

Please no

- NSFW material

- Generally weird/gross crap

- Images that are just plain old images with nothing discernaby funny or jokey about them

- "Motivational posters"

ALSO:

- only one picture per post. Exceptions made for images that are in series, or you know if you have like, two images that are both just that mindblowingly fantastic then maybe we'll let it slide.

- at least every third post has to have an amusing picture in it. If you absolutely have to have a tangential discussion that's fine, just throw in a few pictures for content too.

Honestly though we're not so much enforcing those last two as just putting them here as guidelines for how to best keep the Thread For Fun Things full of Fun Things.

On Facebook I have discovered the C'thulu of web adverts.

Just gotta comment on the guy with the bike. It would actually be possible to recover from that. He's got more than enough air to work with to land on his feet, either by flipping or remaining upright. The bike would likely hit him in the back, though, unless he hit the ground running and was crazy fast enough on his legs to keep up with his velocity, because my guess is that he's headed forward at over 25 MPH, possibly somewhere into the low-to-mid 30s. His best bet to not get severely injured would probably be to put his legs forward to land on his feet and then fall backwards and allow the bike to do what it may. Rolling would be very dangerous to his spinal cord, and trying to run out of it would likely cause him to faceplant. Landing flat could cause severe harm from that height and at that horizontal speed. That's why it would be best to let his legs take most of the shock out of it first and THEN fall flat in the opposite direction, to take the horizontal velocity out of it and only leave him to deal with the vertical vector. If he did that, he'd definitely be hurting, and the bike might well land on him, but the bike should be no more than probably 20 pounds, and the process would save his face, spine, and neck, and cause a much lesser chance of broken bones.

Edit: I do have an image for this post. Just hold on a bit. Tinypic is being a tortoise.

Edit again: Here it is.



There's also one for a mouse. XD

Yeah, I thought it was pretty chill too.



And now, flying dachshunds.
