I'm beginning to think Pizza guys are the heroes we need

[–] Track_Shovel@slrpnk.net 41 points 1 month ago (1 children)

They give us what we all crave: stuffed crust

More pizza deliveries die on job than blue guys. Where thin bread line

[–] Comment105@lemm.ee 13 points 1 month ago

Italian crust, front lines drenched in the marinara of the fallen

Those blue guys don't even make the top 20 deadliest jobs

Pizza guy here, the best way to show gratitude is with a large gratuity.

That evening, someone didn't get the pizza they ordered. They must've been pretty bummed about it. But Anon was certainly happier to eat it than they were upset to not get it, so total happiness increases!

[–] OsrsNeedsF2P@lemmy.ml 47 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Anon told his boss, so maybe boss ordered another pizza?

[–] shneancy@lemmy.world 21 points 1 month ago (1 children)

yea most likely someone just had to wait double the time for their pizza, which can be as little as 20minutes

[–] cactusupyourbutt@lemmy.world 11 points 1 month ago

and no matter how miffed I‘d be about the longer wait, I would be very happy about it if they explained it

[–] psycho_driver@lemmy.world 29 points 1 month ago (1 children)

I heard someone jumped off of that bridge that night due to being so bummed about not getting their pizza.

[–] sugar_in_your_tea@sh.itjust.works 9 points 1 month ago (1 children)

I heard it was the entire family.

Suicide is a permanent solution to a temporary problem

[–] Paranomaly@sh.itjust.works 46 points 1 month ago (2 children)

This is a good saying and sometimes true, but mental illness is usually a forever problem. I don't say that to disparage it either; depression, anxiety, schizophrenia, and internalized abuse fucking suck and it takes a while to tear down the self preservation instinct to the point where an ending can seem appealing, even if just for a moment.

This is why we need to legalize psychedelics. When paired with counseling, they can create moments where you can see alternatives, which gives therapy a solid shot at success even for advanced cases.

A permanent solution sounds pretty nice

[–] boatsnhos615@lemmings.world 17 points 1 month ago

Works 100% of the time when completed. You can't argue with results

If you think this you're incredibly privileged.

One person's problem is over but everyone who cared about them has problems that are just beginning

[–] Grass@sh.itjust.works 8 points 1 month ago (1 children)

the temporary problem of always being a corporate slave until I die anyways, and failing every attempt at running a business or getting a better paying job, etc. Health continually tanking, bloody poop, constant migraines, cognitive decline, way behind on taxes again, feeling stressed out by any and all social stuff, no motovation to do anything yet trudging on for no idea why, nothing is fun, earth is being killed by the ultra rich and nothing is working, the masses are becoming more stupid and only helping worsen everything. dunno probably more. it comes and goes for me. my animals still need me but if I didn't have them I wouldn't have the energy for more of this shit. Maybe if it didn't cost so much to merely be alive, let alone do or have enjoyable things.

I mean, to be fair he was literally out with a friend. A new friend, yes, but a friend.

[–] Zagorath@aussie.zone 21 points 1 month ago (5 children)

That is, indeed, the point of that line.

Got stopped by a rando while trying to build up the courage to jump. Told him that my car was broken down and that's why I was stopped in the middle of the bridge in pouring down rain.

He got out and offered to help me, despite the fact that it was 3AM and the rain was coming down hard.

Awkward.

The car of course started just fine and I thanked him and continued my drive home.

I doubt he had any idea the difference he made.

[–] Akasazh@feddit.nl 30 points 1 month ago (2 children)

I don't understand the 'an hero' sentence, can someone enlighten me?

[–] Switchblade@lemmy.ca 33 points 1 month ago (1 children)
[–] Akasazh@feddit.nl 22 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago) (5 children)

I kind of figured, but not really how.

But through the power of internet search I found out:

Reference to a 4chan bullying campaign against a family whose son killed themselves and they made a grammar mistake on the Facebook post.

Don't let your worst day be your last. A large portion of people who survive true suicide attempts tell you they changed their mind as they jumped.

If you're feeling suicidal, the solution isn't to remove yourself from the situation. The solution is to get out of the situation that makes you feel that way. There are people who want to help you do that. Make the call ❤️

[–] bionicjoey@lemmy.ca 8 points 1 month ago (3 children)

I've never been personally suicidal, but if there's ever been anything that made me fear the idea of ever doing it, it would be "The View From Halfway Down" in Bojack Horseman (both the episode and the titular poem)

was actually going to an hero

This is the most awkward fragment I've ever seen. Was it a typo? Autocorrect? Pasted in the wrong spot? All 3??

I can't seem to fix it. Not what this post is about but it annoyed me, so now you have to be annoyed as well.

EDIT: Got it, it's celebrating suicide. I never got into 4chan or their specific culture, and right now, that's my sole source of comfort.

[–] tweeks@feddit.nl 22 points 1 month ago (2 children)

A few comments below taught me that it apparently originates from this meme where it was a mix of a typo and a loving description of a suicidal person.

[–] AdolfSchmitler@lemmy.world 19 points 1 month ago (2 children)

iirc it comes from a someone posting about thier son who killed themselves and made a typo saying "he was an hero" so naturally 4chan turned the phrase "an hero" into a way to say "to commit suicide".

'An hero' is an old 4chanism that means committing suicide

[–] psud@aussie.zone 17 points 1 month ago

'an hero' means to suicide

[–] SendMePhotos@lemmy.world 16 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Fuckin hell I'm old lmao. Anyone else with me? This was the standard speak of 4chan back in like.... '07...'08?

[–] Revan343@lemmy.ca 8 points 1 month ago

Like '05, it's old. Fuck. I'm old.

[–] ArcaneSlime@lemmy.dbzer0.com 10 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

It isn't exactly celebrating suicide, it's kinda making fun of it in a way.

It started from some myspace post long long ago, in which some kid named Mitchell had killed himself and one of their friends or family members made a memorial myspace page about it including the typo "He was such an hero, to take it all away." The post continues to use "an hero" multiple times, (h/o I bet I can find it, brb.)

/b/tards latched onto it pretty quick, and the meme became that people who killed themselves are "an hero" just like Mitchell.

Edit: Yup, found it. Thanks knowyourmeme.

"He was such an hero, to take it all away. We miss him so, That you should know, And we honor him this day. He was an hero, to take that shot, to leave us all behind. God do we wish we could take it back, And now he's on our minds. Mitchell was an hero, to leave us feeling like this, Our minds are rubber, our joints don't work, Our tears fall into abyss. He was an hero, to take that shot, In life it wasn't his task, He shouldn't have had to go that way, before an decade'd past. Now he sits there in my heart, this hero of mine, Always there to make me smile, Make me feel just fine. He had courage,that boy did, courage in his heart. To take that shot, To end his pain, To tear us all apart. But in the end, he died in courage. Lacking, nevermore, He died a hero, Mitchell did, And we'll love him forevermore. We love you like an brother. We miss you so much. We will always love you, kid. Rest In Peace Mitch. ~Lila"
