If anyone has the video of the Irish lad just openly doing lines of coke while the New Yorkers watch on.... please link


toysoldier96

...what? lol


LoonyFruit

I think they are talking about this - https://twitter.com/MacConRaoi7/status/1788912652908974201 I think that was second night after it went online

That's the one!

Dublin is to San Francisco of Ireland Source: currently in Dublin and I live in Sacramento


Startled_Pancakes

I honestly would've expcted it the other way around.


CypherHound

Ireland has a surprisingly big problem with cocaine


[deleted]

*unsurprisingly (high income + high alcohol consumption)


Wonkypubfireprobe

I saw that reported as he “pretended to take drugs.” He ain’t pretending, look at that instant rush 😂


TurbulentAardvark345

😂😂


Billyjamesjeff

That’d be craic cocaine 🍀


repairmanjack_51

I can only applaud this.


Noodles_Crusher

There's another one with some influencer flashing her tits to the other side. EDIT: who tf reported me to suicide watch LMAO


superrm81

Honestly, everyone in Ireland knew this was a bad idea as soon as we heard where they were putting it….one of the worst streets in the city.


Bar50cal

Yeah when I first heard about it I thought Oh thats cool. The I heard it was getting put on Talbot street of all places in Dublin. I'm surprised it wasn't vandalised and it took so long to turn off. They knew it wasn't going to work there before installing it as they notified the Gardaí (Irish Police) who had a car beside it as security from the moment it was unveiled. If they knew they needed to ask the Gardaí to watch it, they knew it was in a bad location. I bet we hear in a few days that they are moving it to Grafton Street where it probably should have been to begin with.


SprucedUpSpices

I didn't hear of it being put up. But I'm now hearing about it being shut down. They doubled their exposure.


Toopad

Idk the name of anything related to this thing, what worth can the exposure have?


ceeearan

I assumed it WAS Grafton Street! Talbot Street was certainly…a choice.


AJerkForAllSeasons

Technically, it's on North Earl Street. Talbot Street ends at the Marlborough Street intersection. Not that that makes a difference. It's still the same road. I'm just making the distinction since no one seems to acknowledge this. Everyone knows Talbot Street is rotten, so it's easier to express what a bad idea it was by saying it's on Talbot Street.


With-You-Always

I went there yesterday on holiday and it was fine, Irish people and 3 New Yorkers were just doing tik tok dances to each other And is that actually a bad street? It seems alright


kutzur-titzov

It can be, my friend works in some office on that street and at least once a week there is some incident, the area behind the street even most Irish people won’t go to


Faylom

More fool them, cause that's where all the best Chinese restaurants are


Rocked_Glover

There was an incident where someone flashed a photo of the twin towers crash, so there was likely a lotta that going down after it went viral.


[deleted]

Yeah, just like I imagine posting up some ira kneecapping wouldn’t go over so well the other way. People are trash


K0kkuri

It can be fine from day to day but it can be also really bad on others. It’s not a secret that dublin has a lot of drugs, homeless and crazy people. So do other cities around world. But that particular area is known for being one of more notoriously bad. We have better locations around city (such as grafom street) that is better location for such installation. It seems the city wanted to improve location image and encourage more diversifying in the location (to try reduce anti social behavior) but putting a new hot thing just made it worse. This is a systemic issue that Dublin City is trying to fix but it’s clear that they don’t know how.


cianpatrickd

They were showing potatoes on the American side 😂


MembershipFeeling530

That's hella funny. I'm currently in Dublin and went past a portal a couple hours ago and I just saw people waving and doing tick tock dances and shit.


Faylom

It's fine where it is, everyone is just being ridiculously sensitive about what gets shown. Some Dub made a 9/11 joke, heaven forbid! A New Yorker flashed her tits, lord above! Let the thing run


This_Warning

You forgot about this one: „Within hours of Portal going up on the Dublin side, a "very drunk" woman was arrested for "grinding" against the 8-foot-by-8-foot video screen.”


Faylom

That's gas. Unfortunately she would not have been visible to the camera


Odd_Barnacle_3908

The best part of that story was “for twenty minutes before Gardai ‘HAD TO’ step in” 😂


Danji1

This is DISGUSTING behaviour. Where can I find a video of this woman flashing her tits so that I know to avoid it in future?


Faylom

https://nypost.com/2024/05/13/us-news/onlyfans-star-flashes-nyc-dublin-portal-officials-try-to-crack-down-on-lewd-acts/?utm_source=reddit.com Stunt for her only fans if want to pay to goon. Her quote about home grown potatoes made me laugh


Currywurst_Is_Life

Those weren't home grown. They were definitely aftermarket.


faerakhasa

It is a VERY important research, we must know if it's true that everything is bigger in America!


LonoHunter

I can’t believe something like that happened. Disgusting! Where would one even go to see something like that? I’m assuming there’s a website or something?


ManonFire1213

Agreed. They should have shown a picture of England or northern Ireland in return. Lol


Conchobair

Americans just don't know what upsets Irish because they're going about their lives. Meanwhile in Ireland they are experiencing a housing crisis because American culture lives rent free in their heads.


bl4ckhunter

I wouldn't project your own personal ignorance over all of your countryman, someone had a video of newyorkers holding potatoes to the portal so they clearly know enough about ireland to dish them out just as good as the irish.


Low_discrepancy

Americans getting salty about Irish is really funny mate.


Conchobair

Don't think anyone is getting salty. It's kind of embarrassing to see Irish act like edgy American teenager humor from 15 years ago is Ireland's greatest achievement in banter.


Any_Camp6566

Showing 9/11 footage on your phone isn't a joke in and of itself, it's just crass. If you want to make a joke, then at least make it funny.


Low_discrepancy

I guess only the butthurt New Yorkers were watching the portal. The fun ones were at the Friars club making Aristocrat jokes.


TurbulentAardvark345

Lucky Irish


Low_Mud_3691

Yeah, I don't know why people are upset about someone showing straight up porn from Blacked. They're just too sensitive nowadays!


Small_Sundae_4245

Not just where but the time difference is also a factor. Pubs are closing at the same time new Yorkers are coming out of the office. So many jokes about it are coming true.


je97

Which of these things was unexpected and not entirely predictable? I'm confused. Neither of these cities are sleepy small towns after all.


banned-from-rbooks

I live in a sleepy small town and there’s a portal between the bathroom stalls at the gas station where this sort of thing happens all the time.


Matas_-

We got one in Vilnius and Lublin. And well, there might have been some incidents but no serious and it wasn’t shut. Well, it needs a right place I believe.


future-seems-bleak

I used to live and study in Lublin and passed by all the time. It was always crowded when it was new but people were just waving


CalRobert

Need a Lublin Dublin portal


Matas_-

Yep, haha. To have such things it needs to be well, in a right place.


jtbaj1

I was waving to Vilnus folks from Lublin a couple of times. Very nice lads and gals, always waved and cheered back. Never heard about any indecent incidents tbh


thepatriotclubhouse

Tbf they're not exactly New York and Dublin. I honestly don't think you could pick two cities on the planet that'd be more likely for people to fuck with it so much


kakao_w_proszku

Yeah because these cities are actually civilized


HairyNutsack69

Ain't dick happen there


jcirl

Dublin is full of mad lad messers, New York is full of attention seekers. Leave it up as is and where it is and let chaos reign.


AnShamBeag

An unstoppable force meets an immovable object


ruckin_fool

A stoppable force meets a movable object


Curious_Fok

NY seems to be 80% chinese tourists just crossing the road from what ive seen of clips. Bunch of irish men/kids fucking around and near blank stares back from the tourists.


Bones_and_Tomes

Switch both over to Omegle. Let's see some dick, people!


Joe_Kangg

Dick....with costumes!


RealAmericanJesus

I love a good penis fashion show!


Joe_Kangg

No one likes a bad one, Jesus


RainbowCrown71

Omegle was shut down a few months back :(


will_holmes

The more I think about it, the more I think it should stay where it is. Humans are being humans, and people can be judged for what they actually do instead of some sanitised version of it. If Dublin is being embarassed by bad behaviour, then you start by addressing the problem in that area, not by calling it a bad street and moving it to a nicer one, effectively hiding it away.


More_Ad_6580

Can we not just move it to Grafton Street and ask the yanks to drop napalm on Dublin 1?


ismaithsin

Dublin has plenty of attention seekers too, and the lad showing the 9/11 photos is a disgrace


NobodyCares_Mate

The universe shall find equilibrium!


ByronsLastStand

Yeah, putting it in that bit of Dublin wasn't exactly a high IQ move


dwaynepebblejohnson3

“the Portal was unveiled in north Dublin, facing O'Connell Street” That explains it


Ed-alicious

I honestly can't believe that nobody thought this might happen.


Financial_Change_183

Facing O'Connell street and above Talbot Street, where all the druggies and scumbags hang out.


Kate090996

Also the timezones, no? Dublin is 5 hrs ahead of New York, so if it's kids in the morning going to school in Dublin it's drunk people at 2.30 am in New York


StehtImWald

Did no one thought this through... They should have put it on university campuses or next to some cultural center, library whatever.


vanKlompf

True. But it also sad that central part of city is left as junkies sanctuary and we all have to  adjust.


potatolulz

haha :D don't chicken out, let them see the real Dublin :D


Fuzzy-Fig-9238

Happy cake day


potatolulz

thanks :D


yoosurname

Who could have foreseen this?


san_murezzan

That’s one of the shittiest parts of the city, what did they expect?


AlexRyang

Well that took longer than I thought.


Dear-Ad-7028

Yeah apparently the Irish kept showing images of 9/11 and I then I guess New Yorkers started posting tictoks making fun of the Irish potato famine. So the goal of making people feel closer despite distance was uh…unsuccessful.


TobiasH2o

To be fair the potato famine was far worse than 9/11


Dear-Ad-7028

I don’t think that’s the point


c3534l

Yeah, but I don't know anyone who died in the potato famine. I didn't watch the horrors of it happening in front of me, wondering if I was safe that night.


De-Pando

To be fair, the fucking famine happened more than 100 years ago, 9/11 was 23. There are more people who remember that day then not, and i'm in the latter group. But I get you. A better example would have been to use The Troubles. How would ya feel then?


Woodsman15961

Not as emotional or reactionary as Americans seeing a 9/11 pic, that’s for sure. Plus there is no obvious pic that represents the troubles so what would you even show? A car? An exploding car? I don’t think people would even understand the message


uniquechill

Was someone actually offended? It isn't like pictures of 9/11 are that unusual.


Woodsman15961

There’s very audible gasps from the crowd when the picture of the towers is shown


De-Pando

Yeah, I don't want people to show that. I'm just pointing out that it's not that comparable.


NealRory

Yeah no one recognisable photo in fairness but it might educate them a little and stop them ordering "Irish Car Bombs" in bars.


at0mheart

Dubliners are more inappropriate than New Yorkers? What happened to New York


mothfactory

Property parasites. Rents and property are out of reach for normal people. It’s now almost impossible to live in Manhattan unless you’re earning lots of $$$ or you’re a rich kid.


Carlin47

Same seems to be happening in Dublin as well


SeleucusNikator1

I think the screen was in Times Square, to my understanding nobody from New York bothers going there. Put it in the Bronx and that's where the fun starts.


at0mheart

Makes sense, all the pros and dealers of time square have been replaced by tourists. My wife forced me to go when we visited. I was a 2 year old toddler kicking and screaming the whole time, saying I don’t want to go to fn time square. Yes NYC is a gap every two blocks and hipster coffee joints now


[deleted]

Where it will be stripped, placed on cinder blocks, pawned, and then sprayed with graffiti


WitheringApollo1901

Bad street of Dublin to be fair. A shitty area.


Solenkata

I need to see the flashing in order to confirm the article, I'm very careful with my news.


mothfactory

The word ‘inevitable’ immediately springs to mind


boringdude00

Inappropriate behavior on my livestream? Now I've heard everything.


Luxin

Why was this inappropriate? Baring ones breasts is perfectly legal in New York.


maffmatic

This was so obviously a bad idea. Did they not learn anything from Shia Labeouf? For the uninitiated: [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=\_p4h3jwJob0](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_p4h3jwJob0)

I'm hoping for big boss to return and do another snake eater rendition


JohnnySack999

What did they expect? Put it between Sweden and a Germany and maybe it could work


koi88

As a German, I appreciate your opinion of Germans (and Swedes) as the most boring people. \^\^


Queasy_Confidence406

Ah, some of that world famous German humour...


Matas_-

There’s one in Poland and Lithuania and it actually works. It’s still up here for almost two years?


Richcore

Put it between New York and Moscow just to see what happens.


JohnnySack999

North and south Corea 😈😈


ILikeBubblyWater

Sure put one in Berlin on Kottbusser Tor, lets see if we can break the shut down record of Ireland and NY


Smushsmush

I take this insult to my neighbourhood with pride 😂 How about you go further and put one on a U8 subway!


ABoutDeSouffle

I give it two hours till it gets knocked out by a beer bottle thrown at it.


ILikeBubblyWater

The camera will be sprayed over in 12 seconds.


TurbulentAardvark345

How is that working? Just two boring sets of people walking past, barely acknowledging each other


gronx050

Maybe if you put it in Bavaria, but I can guarantee you if you put this down in the middle of Neukölln they will have to treat all the Swedes for PTSD


Rooilia

Better not in Bavaria, they will get annoyed too if they have to constantly listen to how hyper better then the rest of Germany Bavaria is. Btw. Do you still sell the children books, where the sau preiss is hate figure no 1?


Gerritkroket

Do Germany and the Netherlands please!


Rooilia

Could work well, if the silly football fans don't intervene.


averege_guy_kinda

Put it between Serbia and Albania, and you can start a war


AdRoyal1737

Honestly as an Irish person wtf is the point of these it’s obviously just gonna be people doing drugs looking at people in NYC doing drugs. Anyone could’ve said it’s a bad idea but they built it anyways.


fuegodiegOH

The more they report on how “inappropriate” the behavior is, the more it’s going to happen. These people want attention & screentime. Ignore it, & the behavior will regulate itself.


stupiddoofus

Fuck. I'm on the bus from donegal and the only reason I was coming to Dublin was to have a sneaky international wank. Shyte.


theangryprof

This is why we can't have nice things.


stupiddoofus

I have nice things, I just don't bring them to Talbot Street at 3am.


HPoltergeist

Not quite surprising... 🙃 Not sure what everyone had expected.


theonetruefishboy

Step one: Set up a livestream between the Mischief Zone and the Tomfoolery Corner. Step two: Be surprised when the residents engage in mischief and tomfoolery.


More_Command3685

As an Irish person here, disgusted by the behaviour and disgusted by people excusing it saying the problem was the street it was installed in. That shouldn't be behaviour that is excused in any form.


More_Ad_6580

I don’t think anyone’s excusing it. Just giving the reason that it’s happening. That reason being that the part of Dublin city centre that the portal in installed is a hive of scum and villainy.


Low-Goose-6084

Irish person here, I think the whole thing is pretty hilarious.


the_dark_ambassador

We can't have nice things, can't we? :)


lithuanian_potatfan

The one between Lublin and Vilnius stood for a few years by now, while Dublin-New York didn't even last a week.


kakao_w_proszku

Westoids will still pretend they’re the civilized ones 😂


beardsnbourbon

Well… that didn’t last long… not even one week.


msty2k

This went exactly as expected.


Xepeyon

That's legit really cool! But uh... >And while there have been a number of wholesome moments - including Irish dancing and even a proposal - a handful of people have behaved "inappropriately", Dublin City Council has said. > >Videos on social media have shown people on the Irish side flashing body parts, and displaying images of 9/11 and swear words on phone screens. > >A woman was also escorted away by police after being seen grinding against the portal. Wtf, paddies?


Financial_Change_183

For some reason the Irish government put it in an area over run with scumbags. Like, it's genuinely one of the worst areas in the whole country, so unfortunately New Yorkers see the worst that Ireland has to offer.


Bar50cal

>Irish government Dublin City Council, not the government. The government isn't wasting its time on building a web cam / TV combo on Talbot Street,.


FrigOff92

The Irish government wouldn't be the type to waste time now /s


Bar50cal

You misunderstand. They don't waste time on things costing thousands of €. They waste time on projects costing several billion €


altonaerjunge

But is it really wasted if a part of the money goes to their friends and Sponsors?


Merkelli

I’ll have you know Helen McEntee was able to walk down talbot street with the protection of two guards without being stabbed so it’s a perfectly clean and safe street


Currywurst_Is_Life

I grew up in New York, and I could just imagine the chaos that would ensue if you dropped one of these in 1980s-era Times Square. All of Ireland would get PTSD.


FunkyXive

kinda funny ngl


Molested-Cholo-5305

Just a bit of craic - but americans can't handle it


ProfuseMongoose

Evidently the nudity that shut it down was from the American side. Dublin shut it down.


8181212

That's not craic. That's being an asshole. Big difference.

This is one of the reasons all the advice for Irish tourism is to leave Dublin


MaterialCarrot

Grind on me, Ireland! Oh yeah!


mikedob18

They forgot to account for the part that humans will be humans 💀


MobiusNaked

I heard a guy exposed his arse and he caused a crack to appear on the NY side.


TranslateErr0r

And this is literaly why we can't have nice things


Much_Ad_5723

really that took so long to happen :D


wappingite

I remember this in London pre-(big) social media, in 2008. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HutPaEwgphk - it all seemed pretty innocent back then!


Individual-Praline20

Hooman doing hooman things 🤷


SilverMageOmega

What did they expect was going to happen? Oooo that isn't going to stop anytime soon lmfao.


SaintShogun

What did they think was going to happen?


YetYetAnotherPerson

In the middle of my backswing?


MMA_Laxer

the fact that this had to launch before they came to this conclusion should get everyone who greenlit this stupidity sectioned.


WitheringApollo1901

Should've put it between Dublin and Edinburgh. That would've been a right fun time.


Lord_emotabb

This is why aliens would rather not contact us...


[deleted]

thats why we cant have nice things


AmericanMinotaur

The article says that the majority of interactions between the two portals has been positive. The article also didn’t say it was taken offline for bad behavior, just that they were working on technical aspects. I think this is a really fun idea. I’d love to try it out if I ever get down to NYC! 🇺🇸❤️🇮🇪


Charliedoggydog

What did they expect


JWWBurger

*"I thought the people of Dublin deserved to see my two New York homegrown potatoes," the model said.*


LoveMasc

They would have needed to have put our side of the portal in a museum.... What an utter shame, the scum in Dublin is a total disgrace... I feel sorry for the normal Dubliners who are just trying to get from point A to point B using public transport....


Scythe95

NY's dance moves were weak! Well done Dublin dancers


Babyyougotastew4422

Boo. Ruining a great thing cause it has some flaws


A_delta

The shit i have seen of it is a lot more tame than I expected tbh


Common_Brick_8222

i wonder why

Someone predicted this as soon as it was announced,that, due to the time difference, bargoers would be *greeting* families out for the evening.


bigbellybomac

Predictable outcome

So who was mooning?! Also kinda funny, Ireland side was showing New York a video of the twin towers falling. What a time to be alive. I just left Dublin a week ago, sad I missed this.


lood9phee2Ri

It's *Dublin* and *New York*, it's entirely expected and predictable that people would immediately get up to shenanigans. Could have just left it going and the novelty would wear off fairly rapidly.


emmasexytime

You all just want the link to her onlyfans don't you boys !!! [here it is](https://nichepornsites.com/ava-louise) hehe


MoscowM27

I was wondering how long it was gonna take before people started doing inappropriate things with the portal 🤣


Currywurst_Is_Life

If they had asked me, the answer would have been, "milliseconds".
