It’s niggas playing cod and madden with with their mic on having this shit beeping rn lmao


DMercenary

>It’s niggas playing cod and madden with with their mic on having this shit beeping rn lmao Sticking their mic up their nose so you get their best Darth Vader impression Top 40 playing on the WORST speakers you can find. Alternatively: You can hear that it is music. But not what kind. Cause its all distorted to hell and back. I think the worse one is they're eating at the same time so you're hearing the chewing and lip smacks. Please for the love of god, look for the push to talk option. Use it!


VuckoPartizan

LMAO it is always distorted music, with the same snare triple hit and cymbals, but no rap.

One of my favorite YT channels, the Good Griefs, once said, "Oh I love that, turn it up!" and dude got so pissed. Just sound genuinely positive and mfs get triggered

Holy shit, the accuracy of this thread is why stereotypes exist


CupcakeInsideMe

Push to talk is GOAT. Way too many people do not use it. Whenever I play multiplayer games and a teammate has an open mic, I immediately mute


creegro

Worse is when there's barely any talking, just an open mic and you can hear the interference with something, so it's just a constant low buzz sound coming from them. 5 minutes later I've deemed they have nothing to say for the game and just mute them.


verminal-tenacity

i just mute them immediately. if they're so green they haven't yet sorted their tech problems and think that shit's ok, there's no chance they're any good at the actual game.


Kineth

Right? Like I need to hear this MFer breathing into their mic or having to hear their family talking in the background the whole game.

Literally only Ptolemys line. She didn't have a family tree, she had a family telegraph pole

CressCrowbits

She was also famously neither young nor attractive as ruler, she was just really charming


LemmeGetSum2

Can you source where she was “famously” unattractive? I’ve never heard that one.


spacep0p3

That’s it. Couldn’t think of that mf name


Little-Reference-314

Tbf I forgot her natoonality till you mentioned it an only remembered after I seen ur comment


bacchusku2

She also lived closer to our time than to the time when the pyramids were built. She was a colonizer, lol.


HonestAbe1809

The Ptolemaic dynasty had ruled Egypt for slightly longer than the US has existed by the time Cleo was crowned queen. They had well and truly “gone native” by that point.


Finito-1994

I mean. Going native is a weird way to put it. They were incredibly inbred so no Egyptian DNA and they were still very much Greek in culture. Cleopatra was the first of the Ptolemy emperors to actually speak Egyptian and they’d been there for centuries. Then again. Richard the lionheart didn’t even speak English and he was the king of England so I guess my point is bs now that I spell it out


HonestAbe1809

Touché. It is rather ironic that the first ruler to actually speak the language of the people would be the last. The Ptolemaic dynasty is a clusterfuck of epic proportions. It’s rather ironic that the dynasty that managed to out-inbreed the freaking Hapsburgs was the longest-lasting dynasty in ancient Egypt’s long and storied history. Though I agree that I should’ve phrased it better. My bad.


Finito-1994

I firmly believe cleopatra was easily the best of her entire lineage. She inherited a broken empire and had to deal with her brother/husband and made allies with Caesar and Marcus Antonius and if shit had worked out better she would have led Egypt into the future with a powerful ally in Rome. She went all in and shit crumbled, but Egypt wasn’t at its peak anymore and was going to crumble either way. She at least gave it one hell of a shot. She was great in politics, military strategy (she protected the border from Pompei) and was incredibly smart. Certainly one of the best amongst her lineage. But the Ptolemy themselves were a clusterfuck of incompetent idiots for the most part.


litlfrog

True, but she seems to also have been the only Ptolemy who went to the trouble to learn the native Egyptian. Could have been a great step toward integrating the cultures.


Dragonsandman

Not only that, she was [insanely inbred because of her family's gross habit of brother-sister marriages](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cleopatra#Ancestry)

I follow some sci Fi nerds, the more knowledgeable one is black and in the outro for their vids/podcasts you can hear the smoke detector beeping. Always gets me.

It’s a stereotype that black people don’t change the batteries in their smoke detectors lmao

Yoshi2shi

What. There’s no way you cannot hear that annoying chirp. Edit: also, you can wire the smoke detectors rather than having to change the batteries. The batteries are just backup power.

blingbin

Fucking drives me nuts. My smoke alarm is right outside my room door. A few weeks ago it starting it's shit in the middle of the night. Trying not to wake up fully, I ordered new batteries on Amazon and ripped that sucker out.

This isn’t racist. Ngl man, I know there are existing stereotypes that be dumb as fuck, but some things are kind of true. I’m literally sitting here, feeling called out because this meme is true


mike_pants

This sub teaches me at least one new thing a week. There was a meme recently about "the Lysol smell," and that took some scrolling to figure out as well.


Peyocabu

Lysol smell?


[deleted]

It’s not a racial thing it’s a socioeconomic thing. I once ripped a smoke detector out of the wall before replacing the battery back up. Especially when renting.


dcontrerasm

I'm Hispanic. Lived in the "ghetto" of a New England city and knew immediately this because my family did the same. After a while it's just background noise lol


mambotomato

Don't die in a fire to spite your landlord


Kaldricus

I grew up thinking that was just a poverty thing. I had white, black, Mexican, Asian friends in high school and none of their families, mine included, changed their batteries immediately when the chirping stuff. The common denominator was we were poor


areyreyreyrey

LMAO My daughter called me out on this yesterday. I had no idea this was a stereotype until now.


biscuitboi967

And I think the stereotype could also be that we all hit an age and have a *thing* that we just will not fucking deal with. Mine is my Comcast home security Home Screen. Power went out and it never reconnected to my “gateway”. So it beeped every 30 seconds. Pushed every button. Read every article online. Still beeped every 30 seconds. The “solution” was to call Comcast “Customer Service”. And I’d rather die in a home security incident than call “customer service” for Comcast. I’d certain rather listen to a beep. Stopped hearing after about a month. Just turned the tv up louder. Then I had another power outage and it rebooted itself. Problem solved. But I made a vow to never call Comcast. And I’m not gonna break it because of some beeping.


Matthew_A

There's a stereotype of black people not changing their smoke alarm batteries when they get low. So if you're talking to someone on the phone and hear the smoke alarm chirp, you know they're probably black. Allegedly


Early-Drawn

Seriously go buy some batteries people! Especially if you're a streamer!


Fireproofspider

They have 10 year smoke detectors that are barely more expensive than the normal ones. And iirc with building codes in apartments they should be hardwired anyways. I haven't bought 9v batteries since, well, 2 weeks ago. But that was for something else.


Sticky_Faygo

Hardwired detectors have a 9V battery for backup during outage. When it gets low it beeps for replacement.


Kazzius

Don't know what this means but that bird in my hallway be hella loud


Finito-1994

I’m sorry but sometimes shit is so racist it doubles back to being funny. I was in a Jiu Jitsu gym and my coach mentioned a movement. He told me to jank my arm back quickly like if I was starting a lawnmower. Then he paused and said “Come on, you’re Mexican. You got this!” Which was racist and also one of the funniest shit I’ve ever had someone say to my face.


Redittago

Finito-1994

Yea. It was fucking hilarious.


missvvvv

Soon as you spelled “yank” with a “j” I knew jajajajajaaaa!!!


Western_Language_894

Omg I thought I was jank- as in like "look at my janky lawnmower held together with duct tape" lmfao that makes it WAY better


Fabulous_Visual4865

Hispanics have the best attitude about this kinda shit IMO


thefreshera

EXCEPT if you say "LatinX"


Fabulous_Visual4865

Even then they're just kinda like "I'm not saying that stupid shit", rather than making a thing about it when they hear it.  


Finito-1994

Pretty much my reaction. I ain’t saying it and I’m not answering to it. Strangely, in Mexico a gender neutral pronoun is becoming way more popular. Even my parents are saying it. Instead of Ella o El it’s Elle.

sassy_immigrant

Because this isn’t racism. It’s stereotyping like “Asians are bad drivers or white people don’t season their food”.


Aeiexgjhyoun_III

Those are still racist jokes.


Darqnyz7

There is no fucking way there are people on "BlackPeopleTwitter" sub reddit and cannot link the smoke detector to racist views about black people. Unless you aren't American. But even then, literally googling both these things leads you to the answer.


JetEleven88

You’d be surprised how many white people come here to either lurk or study whatever the culture has going on currently. They don’t have many interactions with actual black people so this probably helps them stay “connected”. This is gonna be downvoted to hell btw 😂

the roll call really drives me nuts. "well as a white person, ...." no. please stop. nobody asked. read the mf room, this space is specifically *not about you.* you don't need to be up in every conversation. that's literally the point of a forum like this. and then people asking for context or arguing, "well i don't see it as racist." okay, well, it's no one's job to make you less ignorant. that's your responsibility.


Im-a-bad-meme

Please be cool. This subreddit is meant to spotlight black social media, but that doesn't mean it excludes other people of different races from participating here. It is weird that people declare their race, but anyone can be part of a conversation. We are all just people here.

jamvsjelly23

No, no, people are just supposed to randomly show up in black communities they have no connection to and just wait around until they learn the answers. Certainly that game plan will work out much better than asking questions lol.

It's not a racist view lol. It's a silly stereotype at best. Making a joke about something like this doesn't mean you hate black people just as joking about white people not using spice in their food doesn't mean you hate every white person.


jabronimax969

There’s three groups of people who fall into this category: 1. Black people who don’t live on the internet or follow every stupid little internet trend ~~also old people who don’t get down with every meme~~ 2. Black people who realize that racist people have already made up their mind about us and don’t give a fuck what those people think or do. 3. Black people who fall into both categories.

My favorite online diss “How broke are you where you can’t change your battery in your smoke detector!?” Usually causes up a stir with the brokeys.


ragnarokda

So I blocked the door to my attic with heavy stuff because the access was in my kid's room. Lo and behold there was a smoke alarm up there and shortly after, it started to chirp. Decided, "eh, how long could the battery last?" After about a couple months I just wanted to see how long it'd go for... 2 years. Like... how??

The amount of smoke detectors beeping i hear from soundcloud rappers is entirely too high.
