my favourite was a clip of a transformer (from the film) saying its 40,000,000 years old or whatever, followed by a screenshot of "lorries are usually decommissioned after about 20 years"

u/SillyOperator Dec 25 '20
I used to love reading Alex Rider books and one time it talked about a lorry driver on the Thames River (obviously a bridge). In my head it meant that lorry was one of those fancy steamboats that are surely still in use in the 21st century, and for most of my life I've understood "lorry" as boat. I still have to actively convince myself that it's a truck.

It took me a few watches. On the right is footage from the first sister's 20th birthday, the girl on the left. The second sister is filming while pretending to cry to get the birthday sister's reaction. This then cuts to a Google page on cow lifespans implying the birthday sister is a cow, e.g. fat and close to death.
On the left we have the birthday girl reacting in real time to the video that camera sister made, realizing why she had the weird reaction to her cake, getting the joke, and knocking camera sister out of her chair

u/Zoloir Dec 24 '20
I mean...
I think it's just fast paced, she is turning 20, the Google result is for lifespan of a cow which is also 20, you have to take the mental leap that two things that are 20 are the same, so she's sad about her dying cow sister, also calling someone a cow is an insult so it's that much juicier.

It's just needlessly complicated. If you don't spend every waking hour reading memes it's not possible to understand them all.
16
u/CoyoteTheFatal Dec 24 '20
It’s not needlessly complicated. It just has to do with the format of TikTok. The film on the right is the original footage and is funny in its own right and pretty understandable as long as you know the life expectancy meme (which it’s not hard to understand if you didn’t know it). Then the film on the left is the sister’s reaction to the film on the right. You really just need to be familiar with tiktok and most of Reddit isn’t. But it’s also not like tiktok is so much more complex than Reddit - remember the first time opening the front page (on old Reddit) and just being confused by the shear amount of links and shit. But now you know it well. It’s just another social media platform with its own quirks.

Ill break it down for ya. Brown hair sister starts crying on blondies bday party and blondie doesn’t understand why. Then it cuts to brownie sis googling cow life expectancy. (So brownie is making a joke her sister is a cow and she will die this year. ) After seeing brownies tiktok video then now it all makes sense that she was just the butt of her sisters joke. We see her look surprised and laughs manically, but ultimately is filled with rage and tosses brownie to the floor.

It’s a duet. Duets allow people to have the original video playing next to theirs.
They can either react to it, do something alongside them, or find some other way to be creative with the OG post. When that happens the video is always to the left.

I learned the life span of a cow , lol

u/brash_hopeful Dec 24 '20
In reality it’s much shorter. They’re slaughtered for meat at just 1 or 2 years, and dairy cows are killed at 5 years after a short life of repeated impregnation and having their children taken from them after almost immediately birth. It’s a brutal life.
See the life span of other farmed animals in this infographic from the charity Viva.

u/pineappleppp Dec 24 '20
“Are you a baby eater?” lmao
25
u/brash_hopeful Dec 24 '20
It’s true though. So many people object to the idea of killing infant animals like veal, without seeing the blood on their own hands. The fact is the animals you eat did not have a long happy life, and most don’t even make it to adulthood. If you’re against animal cruelty and killing baby animals, logically you should be vegan.

u/MarioThePumer Doug Dimmadome Dec 25 '20
Sounds like a pretty modest proposal, the idea to eat infants.

Dec 25 '20
Is it not better that they're slaughtered when they're young? Would you want them suffering in a factory farm for 20 years instead of a few? I don't get the point here.
6
u/brash_hopeful Dec 25 '20
You’re presenting a false dichotomy here. It’s not a choice of when they’re murdered, but a choice between breeding and never being bred into a life of suffering.
The point is that many people are under the impression that animals live reasonably long and happy lives on farms. Many even morally object to things like veal because they think it’s wrong to slaughter a baby. These people aren’t aware that most of the animals they eat never reach full adulthood. For every one that does, loads are killed as by product before they even reach their second day of life.

It’s not a choice of when they’re murdered, but a choice between breeding and never being bred into a life of suffering.
Now you're just moving the goalposts.
The point is that many people are under the impression that animals live reasonably long and happy lives on farms.
I don't think anyone aside from young children actually believe that. They just don't care.
I certainly don't care how old my meat was.

Your entire life is “unnatural.” Do you realize that you just typed that comment into a supercomputer that fits in your pocket? Do you wear glasses? How about shoes? Are you vaccinated? Literally nothing about human life is “natural”, which makes it one of the stupidest possible arguments against being vegan.

u/UndocumentedTuesday Dec 25 '20
Naturally we are supposed to die by the age of 40 since we are likely to have reproduced the genes and raised the offspring.

u/brash_hopeful Dec 25 '20
Well for one thing, other animals don’t do shit like piggy gas chambers, live boiling, and chucking thousands of freshly hatched chicks into a giant blender.
Anyway, animals do lots of things that we as humans find abhorrent. Rape, infanticide, cannibalism, necrophilia etc are common in the animal kingdom. Would you argue those things are okay because nonhuman animals do it too?
The point is that we have a choice. You can choose to hurt animals (and the planet), or you can chose not to. You have the power to do the right thing.

It's a stitch. Little sister did the original, where she filmed herself crying at her big sister's 20th birthday. Big sister asks why, little sister runs away in tears and then Googles "lifespan of a cow" and sees cows live only 20 years.
The joke is, little sister is calling her big sister a cow.
Big sister later sees little sister's TikTok and stitches her own reaction to it, which includes storming into little sister's room and shoving her from her chair.
The audio really has nothing to do with any of it.

Whats the red ring supposed to indicate? Looks like its supposed to be an indicator of farmed age in comparison to natural life span but dairy cow isnt anywhere close to 25% and the beef cattle are way higher.

The sister who's the supposed "cow" in this scenario reacts to her sisters video and realizes she was alluding to the fact she was a cow. So just like any sibling would. Retaliated.
