The joke is partly that she weighs so much more than he is that he’s flung at ridiculous speed, so there are definite undertones of fat people are funny and women shouldn’t be fat, even if you missed them.
Comment on 9/11 Conspiracy: what REALLY happened?
HappyFrog@lemmy.blahaj.zone 2 weeks agoI didn’t even notice that one of them was heavyset. Should fat people just not be in public because someone might laugh at them? This gif have nothing to do with her weight.

I’m a fat guy from a fat family, and that was fucken funny.

I didn’t say people can’t find it funny, just that a layer of the joke is that the woman is fat.

It’s not even a joke. It’s a video of something that happened.

Any two adults on one of those things would have that happen. It’s inevitable. Adults have a much higher center of gravity, and are heavier in general, than kids, for whom the equipment is scaled and for whom the spring resistance is set. It starts to fall over, and keeps going until someone loses grip, at which point the other person is launched regardless of relative weight differences. Its all about that spring.
This is an “adults on kid stuff are funny” thing. Doesn’t have to be more than that. Any adults who fuck around on playground equipment should have a general understanding of this, what with it being a near universal experience.

If any two adults using a piece of playground equipment would have that happen, it’s amazing that the World Trade Center lasted until 2001.

Well, we can’t be sure if it happened before since the old hall of records next to it was destroyed in 1962. 🤷

Oh it’s the old I don’t even see weight argument.

Could you really see anything from the 5 total pixels?
SatansMaggotyCumFart@piefed.social 2 weeks ago
Yeah she’s seven pixels.

So now you’re making fat jokes?

I couldn’t see around her! She’s too fast!
