MrBeast filmed himself rigging sweepstakes and contests, endangering people with reckless negligence, but is still makes new videos.

Other people have had their careers ended over mere uncorroborated allegations of misconduct, so why tf is that loser still making shit?

[–] Ismay@programming.dev 29 points 1 day ago (2 children)

One if the very few YouTubers I forbid my kids to watch. He's pretty much a summary of what's rotten in our civilization. Such a piece of shit.

[–] FiniteBanjo@feddit.online 3 points 2 hours ago* (last edited 1 hour ago) (1 children)

There are worse individuals, apparently the wells he dug in Africa were a real philanthropic venture.

That said, I would be fine with his career ending, I am sure many more people would be doing far better jobs than him.

[–] Ismay@programming.dev 2 points 1 hour ago (1 children)

Not the problem. Most of his videos are exploiting human misery to makes a few bucks.

The dude made people torture each other, jump in burning houses to make views. That's simply pure evil and not something I intend my child to think it's normal.

Any barely good society would simply shame him out of business .

[–] FiniteBanjo@feddit.online 2 points 23 minutes ago

Both things can be true, I just wouldn't declare him any sort of criminal mastermind the likes of Trump, Putin, Musk, Xi, or Hitler. A lot of people in this thread are wishing death or suffering upon the dude but I think that's a little extreme.

The summary of everything rotten with our civilization lies elsewhere.

The only reason he hasn't fully embraced MAGA is because it'll kill his ratings.

[–] FrankFrankson@lemmy.world 35 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Mr. Beast has always been and will continue to be a huge piece of shit.

[–] SaveTheTuaHawk@lemmy.ca 5 points 3 hours ago

It must be a generational thing but that guy creeps me the fuck out, and if horrific allegations about him came to light, I would not be surprised.

[–] Duamerthrax@lemmy.world 14 points 1 day ago (1 children)

MrBeast IS a 13 year old brain piloting a grown man's body.

[–] brucethemoose@lemmy.world 2 points 7 hours ago* (last edited 7 hours ago)

Nah, he’s aware of what he’s doing.

He was just “engagementmaxxing at all costs” before it was en vogue.

[–] Blackmist@feddit.uk 20 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Since they won, we should rename that bit of water the Gulf of Belgium.

[–] SaveTheTuaHawk@lemmy.ca 3 points 3 hours ago

Checkmate: we now only order Freedom Waffles.

[–] Kolanaki@pawb.social 37 points 1 day ago (3 children)

We should instead go back to calling American football "gridiron." It sounds cooler.

[–] Viking_Hippie@lemmy.dbzer0.com 18 points 1 day ago (1 children)

I prefer handegg.

A toxic masculinity-fueled sport like that could do with a whimsical but accurate name to balance things out.

[–] Omgpwnies@lemmy.world 7 points 1 day ago (5 children)

waitball, where you spend most of the game waiting for them to do something with the ball

[–] Hybris@lemmy.world 3 points 8 hours ago

Unfortunately that would not differentiate the two

[–] SkunkWorkz@lemmy.world 5 points 1 day ago

Or AdvertiseBalls. It’s just commercials with a bit of gameplay in between.

Wasn't there a chance of winning the World cup at around 1%? They had such a crap team that they had to import players from other countries who were technically American but didn't actually live there. Irony of irony is that Trump relies on immigrants to fill out the team.

[–] yermaw@sh.itjust.works 1 points 7 hours ago

To be fair I think that happens in every country. England used to have the best players in the world (Until SA started throwing money at the sport i guess, I dont follow much these days), but at world cup time suddenly we're playing against those players because theyre all foreigners.

[–] PhoenixDog@lemmy.world 5 points 1 day ago

They had the easiest path in the entire tournament to the round of 16, finally met a country halfway decent and got the doors blown off them.

[–] melsaskca@lemmy.ca 11 points 1 day ago

Mr. Beast is an American ambassador for sure! He's probably yachting in the Gulf of America as we speak!

[–] pimpampoom@lemmy.zip 11 points 1 day ago

People with kids, please don’t let them get brainwashed by those cancer influencers

[–] red_tomato@lemmy.world 140 points 1 day ago (14 children)

It’s called football because it’s primarily played with the feet (unlike that other ”football” game).

[–] SpaceNoodle@lemmy.world 145 points 1 day ago

You mean handegg

[–] One_Honest_Dude@lemmy.world 45 points 1 day ago (6 children)

American football has been referred to as just football (in America) longer than football (soccer) was called just football in Britain. It was called association football as a distinct game separate from rugby football and other football games. Football distinguishing it from games played on horseback. Soccer was British slang from association (similarly at the time rugby football has slang term rugger.) Eventually the association part fell out of use but other countries that had developed their own football games tended to still call it soccer. I don't really care either way, I'll call it football when talking to people who call it football and soccer with people who call out soccer, I just think the origin of the terms is pretty interesting.

[–] Uruanna@lemmy.world 1 points 7 hours ago

This may blow your mind but there are other countries and they have always called it football (or the localized equivalent).

[–] Knock_Knock_Lemmy_In@lemmy.world 17 points 1 day ago (2 children)

Football distinguishing it from games played on horseback

The problem with this line of argument is that basketball would also be football, as would baseball, cricket, hockey, and even cycling.

[–] droans@lemmy.world 11 points 1 day ago (1 children)

You mean football, football, football, knifeball, and wheelball?

You had me until cycling. Which would clearly be "ball-less tech polo" or something like that 🤷🏻

As if we needed yet another reason to hate Mr. Beast.

This is how I learned the US lost at the World Cup.

[–] dudeface@lemmy.world 77 points 1 day ago (3 children)

They didn’t just lose, their king pissed of the Europeans so much they felt it necessary to stomp them in to the ground

[–] droans@lemmy.world 7 points 1 day ago (1 children)

On one hand, as an American, I would have loved to see us win.

On the other, nothing made me happier than seeing our asses get handed to us after Trump played interference.

[–] TachyonTele_Esq@piefed.social 3 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago)

That team is in a tough place. I also would have liked a win. But seeing trumpy-baby lose is always a fun time

[–] albbi@piefed.ca 2 points 23 hours ago

The way the US goalkeeper lost the ball on the 3rd goal was hilarious. Kicked the ground hard instead of the ball.

I found out by seeing a post about CUM being defeated. Canadians, Americans and Mexicans. I only get my latest news from shitpost communities.

[–] nexguy@lemmy.world 6 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago) (6 children)

Americans pretty much stop playing footy at 12 years of age. If you are a talented athlete you probably end up playing basketball or football. American men will likely never be good since all the talent always goes elsewhere.

Footy/futbol/soccer is a third tier sport in the United States and it always will be. It's by far the single most popular sport in any country that is good at it. Median salary for the NFL and NBA is 10 times more than MLS.

Not even close really.
