Ah yes my father told me about the mid 70s kung-fu crisis, he said it was a little bit frightening

I find this highly suspect. You're telling me there wasn't a single person Kung Fu fighting in the ocean? It somehow only affected people on land?

[–] [email protected] 5 points 2 weeks ago

They were only at sea for transit, and they were fast as lightning, so they were actually on land while fighting

So, what you are saying is that everyone was Kung Fu fighting?

Those cats were fast as lightning

Bro, I can't even leave the house without these fucking ninjas at my door. I do another triple spin kick to the face this week and my knees will be done for.

This map exactly coincides with the area where people’s feet are fast as lightning. Uncanny!

Quite lucky that it happened on the one day in history where there were no people in any of the seas!

I question the author of this infographic with regard to the source material providing the data.

During 1974 Pavel Senko, D.D.Maksutov, V.S.Ignatov, V.I.Serdyukov, N.A.Kornilov of the Soviet Union were leading the Soviet Antarctic Expeditions. The original source material cites "everyone" so the exclusion of these 5 gentlemen and the entire continent of Antarctica raises questions about the validity of the graphic.

Totally misses the people at sea who were kung fu fighting.

And presumptuously colors uninhabited areas.

That's a little bit frightening

The people of New Zealand unsure what kind of pandemic is spreading across the world.

Thunderbolt and lightning

No wait that's not it

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 weeks ago

Yeah you've got your "frightening" scale mixed up,

"Thunderbolt and lightning" are on the "very very frightening" end

[–] [email protected] 28 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

If it's any comfort, they fought with expert timing

[–] [email protected] 7 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

Well, when you consider that and the fact that there was funky China men, I do feel better

[–] [email protected] 93 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

Poor New Zealand… they are really missing out.

That one Dutch province that nobody has ever been to

[–] [email protected] 5 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

You mean the people who are fighting the sea?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 weeks ago

And cat-sized house spiders or some shit. That part of the globe scares me.
