Lemmy, let’s not bring over that reddit /r/nothingeverhappens bullshit. If you don’t believe it, cool keep it to yourself. Otherwise it’s just a funny post, move on.

Been seeing a ton of this nothing ever happens attitude lately

I’d guess the “nothing ever happens” people are young.

When I was in my early 20s, I met my dad for the first time. He’d tell tall stories I could not believe. Not long after I had a roommate the same age, same tall stories.

Now that I’m that age, I got tall stories. If you choose an adventurous (slightly irresponsible) life, and get off the couch now and again, life is truly stranger than fiction.

I frequent c/GreenText and people have that attitude all the time, including when the post is about the most normal shit you would hear from a boring friend.

How about let people act the way they want? That’s not a reddit thing, that’s just how regular people respond to an unbelievable story. Sorry your suspension of disbelief is being shattered? If you don’t like it, then ignore the people with opposite view points.

People are like this also irl. Sure, there was a subreddit for it, but the nothingeverhappens attitude is one of the things i experienced in any country I’ve been in.

Idk… my dad was test driving a Saleen a bit fast and got pulled over. The cop walked up and just said, “Test drive?” Pops said “Yeah,” cop goes “follow me.”

Took us to this winding road and the two of them bombed it at around a hundred, cop had his lights on the whole time. As a kid, I thought it was pretty cool. Now I think all the adults involved were reckless jackasses, lol.

For sure, just one of those moments that you look back and realize how goddamn reckless it all was. It was probably the only time in my life I ever felt sorry for a car salesman. He was new and sweating bullets. The car computer would adjust to the driving to output more power, and he was worried his boss would notice.

It’s like when you’re playing Test Drive and you let the cop get ahead of you so that they can act as an autopilot to the next checkpoint.

Lot of people in the comment doesn’t seem to get it and I feel like explaining it would be too stupid but still - He is not getting an escort the police are chasing him cause he drove away to win the race . Fuck I feel bad explaining this and its gonna bite me in the ass if i didn’t understand it correctly and it was sarcasm or something .

I read it as Dad told the cop why he was going so fast, and cop thought it was funny and decided to help him win. Not totally unrealistic; cops get bored and hate paperwork, and love breaking the law.
