This douche nozzle belongs in jail.

What a massive cunt.

Oh my God, it's that little cretin too.

His parents are the worst, and they have created one of the worst humans on the planet.

“Help, help! Break the f—king window,” he yells as Good Samaritans rushed over. One of the witnesses helped carry Doherty out of wreck while the 20-year-old continued to film himself.

Purely theoretical question. Just how big a catapult would you have to build to actually launch an average sized human male into the sun?

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 week ago

I believe a trebuchet may be the way

[–] [email protected] 8 points 1 week ago (1 children)

I asked the Guh-Puh-Tuh monster to break it down like Randall Munroe and the results were surprisingly amusing.

The short version is that the catapult needs to be many, many kilometers long, the human will be liquefied almost immediately, and there are much better ways to get to the Sun—namely, rockets.

Well I'm not seeing any obvious downsides and it is at least reusable, which would likely come in very handy over the next few years.

Sits with phone in hand while driving super car in the overtake lane in the rain.

Crashes car

Online commentators criticized Doherty for appearing to be more concerned about his wrecked car than his injured friend.

Not a person i'd want others to be influenced by really. I hope sponsors eventually realise

Stop making stupid people famous.

this guy is a real prick appearently, he got famous by assaulting people (calling it pranks).

The world doent need people like him.

When will media stop with the "formerly Twitter"?
They're trying to increase the relevancy of their "source" on X by saying it's basically the same as Twitter once was.
But it isn't. It's a rotting zombie feasting on Twitter's long-dead corpse.

None of these make sense

When is McLaren?

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 week ago

It’s Spanish for “my clarin”

[–] [email protected] 7 points 1 week ago

The son of Laren.
Nice bloke, tried to help me fix my car once.
It ran like shit afterwards but it's the thought that counts.

Come on, Cosmos. He didn't have a scratch on him.

Do better.

"influencer" I truly hate this word. It's way overused. Like what is he influencing, markers flipping?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago)

People. Ever heard of Jesus Christ?

Personally, I like the word. Its very clear.

[–] [email protected] 21 points 1 week ago (2 children)

He influences his followers to buy products. An influencer is like a freelance marketer.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 week ago

"freelance marketer" is being too nice. They are billboards with legs and mouths.

[–] [email protected] 9 points 1 week ago

If you make your purchasing decisions on an "influencer's" opinion, then man, do I have so many things to say about you.

[–] [email protected] 12 points 1 week ago (1 children)

He influenced me to not buy a McLaren.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 1 week ago

McLarens are awesome cars, don't let this guy ruin that. Besides, did you see that paint job? He just put the car out of its misery.

Glad the cameraman was okay; this guy shouldn't be behind the wheel of anything.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 1 week ago

I like it except for the part where he put other drivers at risk. Put this idiot on a private racetrack with a brick wall at the end of it and let nature take him out.

[–] [email protected] 22 points 1 week ago

“Help, help! Break the f—king window,” he yells as Good Samaritans rushed over. One of the witnesses helped carry Doherty out of wreck while the 20-year-old continued to film himself.

I’d like to think that if was helping, I would have the presence of mind to realize he was filming himself. I would have taken a moment to grab his fucking phone and fling it as far away into oncoming traffic as possible.

Don't give this dip shit any more publicity.
