Every 60 seconds in Africa, a minute passes

"In Africa, it doesn't matter if you're gay, straight, or bisexual. At the end of the day, it's night"
-- Osvaldo12, nemesis of Aliko Dangote (richest man in Africa)
- This is gold

This has big "I am very smart" energy. Intelligence is knowing every 24 hours is a new day. Wisdom is knowing the phrase "new day" is used rhetorically and figuratively.
- I love these kind of jokes. Aggressive technically accurate call outs for no reason. Like that song from Lonely Island, where the girlfriend hands him a phone and he goes "that ain't my dad that's a cellphone! And I threw it on the ground!"
  It's ridiculous and I love it.
  
  "I'm an ADULT!"
  
  Generally love that type of humor too but it's less funny if the person making the joke insults the other person. Because then it makes it seem like the joker does not get that there's two meanings in the phrase, like how the original commenter noted. It makes the joker seem condescending and oblivious.
  Saying these types of jokes with a straight face would be much funnier than if the joker was mean spirited. Leslie Nielsen was a master at this.
- Or is it, "you're saying empty platitudes," energy? I think the latter.
  
  I think it would be more meaningful if he actually said that. Right now it's just... I'm not sure what his point is. Being a pedantic asshole?
- Clearly, my dear learned friend, you are an undeniable polymath - for not only do you possess the knowledge of a single day's duration, but also the power to discern its nuanced usage in everyday speech. Your intellect soars beyond the stratosphere where mere mortals can barely comprehend the concept of time. However, your thirst for wisdom should compel you to explore further: once you understand the intricacies of "new day", you may delve into the complexities of time itself. Did you know a standard clock hour differs from a solar hour? Or how about sidereal time, which deviates even more? You see, only the truest of geniuses understand that what we call a day isn't fixed or universal; it varies based on one's perspective. Keep seeking, my wise friend, because there's always more to discover.
- This has big “I am very smart” energy.
  That nicely sums up everything anyone needs to know about Vaush.
  
  I would also add predatory male feminist, hypocrite, shitlib, pedo.
  There really is just no redeeming quality to the guy.
- Technically speaking a new day happens in America 3 times every 24 hours. Eastern time, Central time, and Pacific time.
  
  To be more specific, there are 4 time zones in the contiguous 48 states: Pacific, Mountain, Central, and Eastern. Alaska is also one hour behind Pacific, and Hawaii (usually) one hour behind Alaskan. But Hawaii also doesn't observe daylight savings time.
  This also doesn't account for how some states (like Arizona) don't observe DST while Navajo Nation (in Arizona) does, while Hopi land (surrounded by Navajo) doesn't.
  Time is confusing.

first time i've not seen anyone mentioning horse cock under a vaush mention
- Hate to break it to you but you are the person who mentioned horse cock
- everyone loves horse cock
  
  ♪ sends your asshole into shock ♪
  
  Mr hands loved it too much
- Mountain streams flowing,
  \ Vaush's heart beats as horse race,
  \ Cock cries in delight.
  Horse rider gallops by,
  \ Strong tail stirring autumn leaves,
  \ Erection takes hold.
  Sunset paints the sky,
  \ Bronze stallion calls Vaush's name,
  \ Aroused, he mounts.

- How dare you bring a metric prefix into this!
  
  More of a Roman prefix tbf..
  
  Why are Americans afraid of real units of measurement?
- Every step you take in America, one more step has been taken in America.
- For every gallon freedom'd in the US, four quarts have been assault rifle'd.
  
  But a gallon is only 3 3/4 liters. Where does the extra cup go? Did the government take it?

Ah I see, Osvaldo wasn't a shooting star, he was the founder of a genre.
- Somebody call the Cyber Police!
- I don't say I support them, I don't want legal actions against me. All I say is he's funny

Every other minute, a woman in China gives birth to a child. We must find this woman and stop her!

Pff that got a snort out of me

Fuck there was a reddit sub for tweets like this but I forgot what it was called. We need one like that on lemmy
- I am very smart?
- Notkenm?
- r/whitepeopletwitter?
  
  Nah it was some guy making funny comments like that to some politician I think.
- We are generalizing every posts here, All posts are on memes or shitposts.
  Needs to change this; post on classified groups and crosspost to these 'general' group to gain traction

since a shit ton of people are already arguing about vaush im going to throw in that like i dont particularly think he deserves all the hate he gets but like im kind of uncomfortable with all the "ironic" misogyny he does, how much he seems to say the r slur and his anti corbyn stuff. Also the people who are like massive fans of his are weird af but like i dont blame the guy for his fans being fucked up.
But yeah, imo anyone who has any super strong feelings about vaush either completely loving him and repeatedly going to bat for him against everything or completely hating him and thinking he's the reincartion of himmler are pretty weird.
- Both his content and his behaviour are shit. He deserves all the hate.
- Well put. I am of the same perspective.

I get that it's a funny retort, but can we not promote this transphobe, pedo adjacent fake ass leftist on here as if he's not an awful person?
you are lucky that I personally got Biden into office because otherwise – is Hakim from Iraq? Well, hey listen ok, we're going to get Biden to get those troops out of Iraq ok – wait did he already do that? We are going to keep Biden from fucking bombing anymore of your airports ok. That's what we're going to do! - Vaush
- I'm not following Vaush actively, but I've never heard any transphobic remarks from him, and the "pedo" stuff has been pretty thoroughly debunked. Do you have specific examples you could share?

  I'll amend my statement to "pedo-enabling", happy? So where's that "thorough" debunk?
- this transphobe
  There are very few cis youtubers with more pro-trans content on Youtube than Vaush. Hate on the guy for being abrasive or because you don't like his personality or his humor or because he sometimes has dumb opinions, but there's no need to lie like this.
  
  Yeah Vaush is a piece of shit, and he may have said some fucked up shit in the past but I don't think it's cool to brand someone like that when he's clearly shown that he's changed for the better on these issues. People gotta be more accepting of someone that has changed their minds for the better, otherwise everything will stay like it is.
  But he's still a piece of shit, but for other reasons.
- I guess I'll link this and ask for specifics, because I've observed quite the opposite.
  Given you seem to have taken your quote about personally getting Biden into office seriously, I think it's pretty reasonable for anyone to be questioning your take here.
  
  There's plenty to dislike vaush for, but they always go for the dumbest shit.
  I can even start em off. He never does debate prep so if he's presented with a fact or statistic he doesn't know, he forms his idea of how he thinks it should work /an explanation that fits his worldview and argues that point then looks up data to back it after the fact. It comes across as super weak, especially for a guy who acts like some supreme lord of intellect.
  But then again, knowing that would actually involve engaging with his content. It's much easier to clip him out of context and call him a pedo.

- Yeah. He gets heated in debates and doesn't really think what he says through. This being a shining example. He doesn't get how condescending this comment is to someone from Iraq.
- transphobe
  pedo adjacent
  fake ass leftist
  Literally none of that is true about Vaush though. He's been accused of all those things, but every single accusations ends up being either a massively uncharitable interpretation of something he said, or a straight up "I think Coolsville sucks" cut

The land of the fee.
It has the potential to be a futuristic, modern country full of happy people but hey, profits would suffer...

Vaush rad

Every time I see something from Vaush I understand why some people don't like leftist. He is generally arrogant and toxic.
- Left of center has nothing to do with being arrogant and toxic. It just means he’s an ass.
  
  I agree, but people see that and think all leftists are arrogant and toxic. I am not saying they are right, but we are def not putting out best forward with Vaush
- <Obvious joke at the expense of Joe Biden of all people>
  WhY vOwSh sO tOxiC
  
  My first expose to Vaush was him calling a specific streamer a nazi and saying the vtubing had a nazi problem, which tells me he just firing off hot takes designed to rage bait. That and my general apprehension to political streamers being grifters, I haven't felt the need to check anything more.
- There are plenty of leftists who aren't pieces of shit that we could support instead of this clown. I don't know why people keep giving this guy a platform.

Tacoma Wept…………..
- I honestly don't understand how someone can take this or OP's post as a serious statement. I feel like both are extremely obvious jokes.
  It's like a line I like to say: "I'm the smartest, prettiest, most humble person in the world." No one has ever taken that seriously, and for good reason. It's not meant to be.
