It’s not about how much weight the plane carries so much as flight attendants doing overhead lifting and the risk of one falling out of the overhead locker. Source, I’m on the internet and you read it
Actually it’s about charging people extra as often as you can.
It’s both, weight starts to become a bigger deal when you factor in that you have to keep it in the air for thousands of km. If airlines could charge people by weight they would in a heartbeat
Downvoted for AI slop
It isn’t “slop”. This image is magnitude more quality than most people are able to draw.
it’s been trained on art stolen from people who can draw orders of magnitude better than this
Learning isn’t stealing. Humans also learn by looking at different works. By “stealing,” as you call it.
there’s such a thing called “copyright”, and using countless pieces of art for free so that a couple of douchebags become gazillionnaires selling copyright infringement on said pieces of art certainly feels like theft
Poor gazillionaires (sobbing). Can we donate them? I can send them a few kg of shit. Or some grass, now it is a season for the grass.
You’re the one defending the gazillionaires. They’re saying the gazillionaires are the ones profiting from stealing, and they’re right.
No, gazilionaries – copyright owners. And you are defending them.
I agree that it’s not stealing. It’s automated plagiarism.
if you made a shitty hand drawing, even in the old mspaint, the thing would be funnier.
do you think wojack and rage comics were popular for their artistic craftsmanship? or because they seemed relatable as they were apparently made with little skill or effort?
Those comics were much more difficult to draw than you imagine. Try it – it isn’t easy. Those memes had their own aesthetics. They weren’t just poorely drawn.
if you made a shitty hand drawing, even in the old mspaint, the thing would be funnier.
Bad picture is a bad picture. It might be intentionally bad because of some context, but you can’t make something funnier just by decreasing the quality of illustration.
I don’t see how you can make OP’s message funnier by worse illustation.
it is funnier if it doesn’t look like generic slop.
True, but I’m here for human conversations, not just me talking to chatgpt.
Human interactions can be both good and bad, but its still human interactions.
Are we still talking about the illustration?
Interaction doesn’t imply text.
you should feel ashamed for this comment
I wrote on a magnitude English better quality than 90% of the world.
And?
Judging by the comments, this is the perfect shitpost. Thank you for the smiles.
not only ai slop, also body shaming
Ok but hear me out - since when is obesity desirable? I’m all for body shaming of people decide to reduce their weight as a result.
Okay and how do you know if you’re bullying one of the bad lazy fatties and not someone with, for example, PCOS or thyroid problems? You think those people don’t have enough trouble without shallow shitheads harassing them for existing?
Basic human decency should not come with a weight limit.
These are a smaalll portion. The overwhelming majority is just normal obese
Again: basic human decency should not come with a weight limit.
If these kinds of people, like they often do, complain about earth being unsuitable for obesity then that is what annoys me
Well I agree with around half of what you’ve just said. Being obese isn’t healthy and everyone who is obese should know that. When people use body positivity to justify the fact that they don’t care about their health they are obviously wrong. What body positivity is about is that people have the right to make decisions over their own bodies and other people should respect that and be emphatetic. Bullying people isn’t being empathetic. I, who normally doesn’t like to use the body shaming arguement felt compelled to write my comment, because I felt that where this post came from also lacked said empathy.
It just annoys me when people who are obese as a result of their own unhealthy habits blame the world for being unsuitable for obese people. And many people are like this
I know where you’re coming from, but in general “the world being unsuitable” is people lacking empathy and/or bullying people for being overweight. At least that’s what I mostly hear about, overweight people complaining about social pressure.
And sure there are a lot of overweight people who for some reason feel compelled to constantly rationalize their life choices to people who didn’t ask, but then again if this is the problem so are there a lot of other people from every other group that people regularly critique that do the same.
But with that being said I think we should point out that as there are few other “groups” one could join voluntarily and the “affiliation” with which is so immediately recognizable to anyone just by looking at you, that I do think overweight people receive a disproportional amount of critique compared to for example smokers. Statistically speaking smoking is more unhealthy and globally it’s even more prevalent than eating unhealthy, but when was the last time you heard someone was getting bullied for lighting a cigarette?
No I don’t hate specific people. I hate pretty much everyone. Including smokers lol
Downvoted not because of AI but because you didn’t even bother to remove the piss filter.
or just drive instead, and bring as much luggage as you want. without paying extra. on your own schedule. and not inhaling 50-100 people and their kids’ disgusting plague germs.
god, fuck literally everything about flying
every long journey should be available with trains (if on land).
It’s for the safety of the people handling the luggage, not for the weight of the plane
Then how do you explain the 8kg weight limit for carry on? Who is endagered by 9kg luggage? And it’s not even handled by the staff.
The overhead compartments have a weight limit because they must be designed to keep the stuff in there during an emergency.
No weight limit under the seat, though.
There is a bar or some device that is there to prevent your stuff from sliding forwards. I’ve not been crawling on the airplane floors enough to see any weight rating on it but I would bet money on it being crash tested and rated according to whatever the overhead compartments are.
honestly I think they also just want an excuse to charge you extra, but the official reason is also safety, to prevent injury if a bag falls out of the overhead compartment during turbulence.
I got very lucky flying this year, always ended up next to an empty seat or even an entire empty row. Until the last flight. Middle seat between two very American sized women who were partially spilling over into my seat.
Thank god it was just a 30 mins flight.
eat your luggage
This actually makes a lot of sense. It shouldn’t be about fat shaming, but you cant ignore reality and you should make rules based on it. People with normal weight shouldn’t be punished.
They aren’t punished tho.
They are, because they are allowed to bring less total weight onto the plane. (71kg vs 124kg)
Nope, they’re allowed to bring as much luggage weight as the others. Total weight doesn’t matter in that regard. Just like how small people are allowed to bring the same as tall people.
Total weight doesn’t matter when talking about total weight? Wha?
We are talking about luggage weight. Pretty interesting how you ignore the rest of my post, it’s pretty telling.
how is that a punishment? both people can bring the same amount of stuff. if you lose a leg they don’t sudently reward you with more luggage.
it’s you+luggage,
are you counting the value of your tickets by how much mass they let you move in total? that would only be worth it if you’re trafficking humans for meat
So should skinny people pay less for clothes?
I don’t see the problem with pricing clothes depending on how much material was used.
the difference in price would be so small you wouldn’t even care
the price of your clothing is mostly supply chain “middle-men” taking their share, not the source material nor the people actuality bringing it to shape. especially with synthetic materials
if it weren’t true (i.e. if the material actually cost that much), stores wouldn’t literally destroy / throw away brand new clothes just to “refresh” every couple of weeks
I already pay more for my clothes, namely because only specific brands have my sizes. So yeah, my partner pays way less for clothing. Same with shoes, I have a 48eu and I’m forced to buy expensive brands just because, while my partner can buy cheaper shoes with waaay more choices.
What’s your point?
That for the exact reasons you listed clothes should cost the same for everyone. We shouldn’t charge bigger people extra money for seating on a plane, and you shouldn’t charge people based on clothing sizes.
I think we are in agreement, I interpreted your message as if you were supporting the meme above. As in, criticising that fat people don’t pay more in planes or something.
