A decade later and this is still one of the funniest things ever

For anyone who doesn't know, John Cage's 4'33 is 4 minutes and 33 seconds of complete silence...

A lot of people in the comments are being pedantic about how 4'33'' is not actually complete silence, it is 4'33'' of ambient noise as performance.

So in the spirit of being a one-upping internet pseudointellectual; I will share an additional fact about this piece. You will notice that the video is actually slightly longer than 4 minutes and 33 seconds. The piece actually takes slightly longer than that to perform, as the orchestra must leave space in between each of the three movements.

last summer I saw a giant moth who had fallen into a water trough, and I gently lifted her out so she could dry her wings and fly away. This was an act of great foresight on my part, as I know that one day, when I am in grave danger and all hope is fading…she will appear, and remember me from long ago, and lift me out of the water trough that I have fallen into. I’m telling you, this moth was huge

same people crying about ups drivers winning $42/hour are the same people who dismiss unions and say they just take your money and don't do anything for you. Bet you'd like $42/hour!!!!!!!

best and funniest possible response. Sorry you're such a cuck and you just take whatever the boss gives you, me and my big meat brothers will be grabbing management by the ankles and shaking what we want out of their pockets and what are they gonna do? We're teamsters

they need to invent clubbing for boring sober people who don't like loud music or crowded group dancing. what's the "she should be at the club" for this hypothetical not-me demographic.

roundup of various common suggestions in the notes:

  • "the library": a nice space to hang, granted, but not really the same fun social vibes.
  • "the night-library that serves pink drinks and tea": okay okay, now we're cooking.
  • "coffee shop": a bit more social and rambunctious than the average library, but still too plain imo.
  • "the museum": still a tad too formal I feel like but definitely not opposed.
  • "the book club": again, not opposed, but book clubs do have the catch of requiring you to plan ahead and do some homework to really enjoy it, not a very "I'm bored on a friday and want to go do something fun" activity.
  • "wine tasting":
  • "dnd/ttrpg nights": unfortunately I'm stupid and am bad at these games. I mean unfortunately these hypothetical people are stupid and bad at these games.
  • "arcades with cover fees at the door and then free games": won't even lie this sounds killer, gonna see if they have any of those in my area.
  • "babe the club is wherever you feel confident in yourself, life is a club and I’m just chilling at a bus stop": beautiful. poetic. heart warming. she should be at the bus stop.
