I feel like I must be the only person in the world who is super annoyed by this meme lol.

[–] moistclump@lemmy.world 9 points 3 months ago (1 children)

What do you mean?

For some reason that actor just irritates me and I see this meme everywhere I feel like. I had to look up what show that was from and it comes from Community, so that tracks. I’ve tried to watch clips from that show and I’ve always ended up not being able to make it through. I’m sure it’s a great show (it’s super popular after all) but just not for me.

Edit: for the record, I did not downvote it, someone else did.

Community is not a show you watch clips of.

[–] gencha@lemm.ee 1 points 3 months ago

I feel you. Not on this meme though 😄

Thank you for this! I never realized that it was so small!

Things you don’t want to hear after sex.

[–] ZagamTheVile@lemmy.world 22 points 3 months ago

Better than hearing it before.

As long as I get the "thank you for this" I'll be ok!

[–] theoretiker@discuss.tchncs.de 2 points 3 months ago

It's meant to be said in a sarcastic tone

[–] Diplomjodler3@lemmy.world 34 points 3 months ago (3 children)

From what distance do they shoot?

The target for 50m distance is larger than the one in the picture, also they don't use air rifles for that.

[–] 00L10@feddit.org 2 points 3 months ago

The distance for air rifle and pistol is 10m

What is this, a target for ants?!

[–] satanmat@lemmy.world 20 points 3 months ago (2 children)

This is where I agree with the “show us a normal person…”

Watching archery, they don’t IMHO show a good perspective of the whole range; to give the viewer at home a better view of the size of the target and the distance.

I’d yes love to see this with the air pistol and rifles.

[–] teft@lemmy.world 6 points 3 months ago (1 children)

I ride by an olympic archery center a few times a week. Around the outside is a 400m track so anyone who has seen the inside of a track field will know the distances. Less than 100m I'd say going by the targets I've seen.

[–] 00L10@feddit.org 5 points 3 months ago (1 children)

The distance in archery is 70m

[–] satanmat@lemmy.world 3 points 3 months ago

Yep. And for idiots like me at home; I’d love to see Jeff trot down there after a set to show everyone at home just how damn hard they worked to get that effing good.

[–] jaybone@lemmy.world 2 points 3 months ago

They should have someone stand right next to the target.

“officials find air rifle ‘cheat sheet’ on competitor’s person.”

“According to this, I need to hit the center of the circle.”

Wow! First time I'm seeing a giant's hand.
