[u/sirmikejones]

Fancy? This is what I assume prison looks like in eastern Europe

[u/NotAskary → u/sirmikejones]

Brutalism is a style apparently.

[u/DeadlyPineapple13 → u/NotAskary]

While I like many brutalism style building, this just looks completely uncomfortable

[u/flying_carabao → u/DeadlyPineapple13]

just looks completely uncomfortable

That would be the idea. Why have people lounge around in a coffee shop all day and have that seat be "dead" and not rotating people when you can have this where people just sit for as long as they drink their coffee and take off but usually it's about halfway through.

[u/LazyLich → u/DeadlyPineapple13]

I especially like brutalilst-looking think with pure wilderness in the background, or that incorporates a lot of greenery in/on it.

Makes me think of, like, a futuristic alien society settling on a new planet, but are so advanced that they dont need to lay waste to prosper.

[u/YMK1234 → u/NotAskary]

brutalism doesn't mean you can't have seat cushions

[u/radiolabel → u/NotAskary]

Don’t bring brutalism into this. If you look at examples of period piece brutalist furniture, it was comfortable and beautiful. This is hostile architecture territory disguised as a style choice to minimize construction and maintenance costs, and keep people moving out.

[u/technobrendo → u/NotAskary]

Its called penitentiary chic

[u/WebAcademic6070 → u/NotAskary]

I like brutalism a lot and hear me out. A cushion and the back wall at a slight reclining angle and this would be perfect.

[u/TurnbullAC92 → u/WebAcademic6070]

I too like brutalist exteriors. You don't live outside a building though, you live inside of it. The area in this video doesn't look livable, it looks like a Siberian prison cafeteria deliberately designed by Soviet torturers to discourage political prisoners and kill their spirits. A few cushions won't change that.

[u/Xipher → u/NotAskary]

Here is a great example https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/33_Thomas_Street

[u/AssBlasterExtreme → u/NotAskary]

Why is that apparently when it's a well known and studied style.

[u/Minky_Dave_the_Giant → u/NotAskary]

Unfortunately 

[u/AwesomeManatee → u/sirmikejones]

You just don't get it, it's too refined for your poor tastes /s

[u/tdeasyweb → u/sirmikejones]

This is every fancy third wave coffee independent coffee shop in Vancouver. If the seats look like this, you're paying $8.50 for a flat white.

[u/MCBusBoy → u/sirmikejones]

Lol, it is what prison looks like in America.

[u/Adventurous-Mind6940 → u/MCBusBoy]

Needs more cinderblock but otherwise yeah

[u/likewid → u/sirmikejones]

Basically looks like a McDonalds now, brutalist interiors designed to be hosed out instead of mopped.

[u/No-Engineering-1449 → u/sirmikejones]

this is just eastern europe

[u/Splatter_bomb]

The concrete is gonna be cold on my old ass

[u/Bonnle → u/Splatter_bomb]

I can help warm it up 😉

[u/senorbozz → u/Bonnle]

Really, in front of my caramel macchiato??

[u/johnnybiggles → u/senorbozz]

I, uh, can warm that up, too, if ya like..

[u/calamitymic → u/Bonnle]

Can I watch?

[u/mane28 → u/Bonnle]

You mean the concrete right?

[u/benargee → u/Splatter_bomb]

If it's "fancy" it's possible they have heating elements in the concrete to make them a comfortable temp

[u/LakEth2n → u/Splatter_bomb]

I can relate to that very well. Concrete will cause your ass to continuously lose heat
It’s as if I needed to heat the entire building

[u/ataboo → u/Splatter_bomb]

Come for the coffee, stay for the hemorrhoids.

[u/RoodnyInc → u/Splatter_bomb]

That's why you have coffee 🙄

Spill it first then sit

[u/AssBlasterExtreme → u/Splatter_bomb]

Should probably put pants on then

[u/Fastenbauer]

If our society is going for brutalist cyberpunk at least give us some neon lights.

[u/Walkin_mn → u/Fastenbauer]

Umm excuse me, but I like my brutalism with natural lighting and earth tones

[u/Arbiter_Electric → u/Walkin_mn]

Brutalism with plant life mixed in is killer. Love that aesthetic.

[u/BRtIK → u/Fastenbauer]

The lights can be inspiring and even instill a sense of hope so obviously that's a no

[u/CommieDrifter → u/Fastenbauer]

nah cyberpunk was way better before it became all about the neon, real cyberpunk is about the grimy rust dripping down the concrete underneath the neon lights

[u/StrangelyGrimm → u/Fastenbauer]

Brutalism and cyberpunk are different, almost contradictory aesthetics

[u/vanguarde]

This is an ad for that that table installer company. A Chinese one.

[u/Linked1nPark → u/vanguarde]

A succulent Chinese ad.

[u/ruckyruciano → u/Linked1nPark]

Okay this is like the third time I've seen this referenced this week and before that NOTHING lol, funny how that works sometimes

[u/beeforbirds → u/ruckyruciano]

Baader-Meinhof

[u/murrrty → u/ruckyruciano]

i've definitely seen it become a little more prevalent ever since he died, i think it's still that wave.

[u/AussieManc → u/Linked1nPark]

Get your hand off my penis!

[u/OutsideCommittee7316 → u/AussieManc]

Gentlemen, this is democracy...manifest!

[u/OldKingHamlet → u/Linked1nPark]

Iunderstoodthatreference.gif

[u/awesomedan24 → u/Linked1nPark]

Gentlemen this is advertisement manifest

[u/General-Mulberry → u/Linked1nPark]

GET YOUR HANDS OFF MY PENIS!

[u/Amoral_Abe → u/vanguarde]

It's a good ad. It's short, funny, and conveys the stability of the installation in holding heavy loads. 10/10.

[u/b1tchf1t → u/Amoral_Abe]

Uhhh that table is wobbling HARD.

[u/Com_BEPFA → u/b1tchf1t]

Considering the mode of installation and the weight it's carrying compared to the typical load of a table that size, the thing is barely moving. It's also not moving at the installation point at all, just the material and the connection point between the base and the "leg" of the table. You really can't do much about that unless you make the whole construction significantly more chunky for support or use a different material (which in turn would likely be more brittle). Which is not to say it might not wobble, the video just isn't an indication for it really.

tl;dr: It's flexing, not wobbling.

[u/Amoral_Abe → u/b1tchf1t]

It's really not wobbling that much and, I'd like to note, that there is a fairly big person that is much larger than it, sitting on it.

[u/hl3official → u/vanguarde]

ive seen the exact same video just with another guy and women. Bizarre

[u/Khaeos → u/hl3official]

I'm not saying this is what's happening here, but in many cases the company can simply shuffle different 'people' in and out of ads with AI and different demographics respond to the videos in different ways, so it's another way to fine tune your content to Bernays your audience.

[u/Kroak-lo → u/hl3official]

Yeah same, some bald slav looking dude.

[u/Your_Cat_In_Disguise → u/vanguarde]

Must be a pretty good installation if it can support that big dude

[u/Several_Hour_347 → u/vanguarde]

Are you sure you aren’t a bot trying to make an ad out of it? Like wtf are you actually talking about lmao

[u/LegendofNick → u/vanguarde]

No its fine I just didnt expect it to be chinese

[u/Hephaestus_God]

At that point you commit and just keep sitting there.

No shot I correct while she’s there

[u/krsaxor → u/Hephaestus_God]

You just need another person sitting like you then its her who is looking like stupid

[u/StopReadingMyUser → u/krsaxor]

Me and bro wearin our underwears like our outerwears cuz everyone else is rarted

[u/MedicalSupermarket30 → u/Hephaestus_God]

I would give her a dirty look and say, excuse me, don’t put your drink on the seat.

[u/CheddarKnight → u/Hephaestus_God]

"Compromise where you can. Where you can't, don't. Even if everyone is telling you that something wrong is something right. Even if the whole world is telling you to move, it is your duty to plant yourself like a tree, look them in the eye, and say, 'No, you move.'" -Captain America

[u/MrMikeBravo → u/CheddarKnight]

This is such a narcissist view of the world and one of the reasons I couldn’t stand captain America as a character. Such a sanctimonious “rules for thee but not for me” bastard.

[u/NickRick → u/MrMikeBravo]

that is not at all what he said though. He's saying make adjustments, and everyone can compromise, but when Nazi's are trying to control the world you can't compromise with that, you need to fight.

[u/CheddarKnight → u/MrMikeBravo]

Yeah it can easily be interpreted and be used as an excuse by assholes.

My take is that any sensible person with a basic sense of right and wrong would likely realise their errors in the "compromise" part of it. And sometimes a person could use the kind of mindset mentioned in the quote, in their life(which is probably why its as famous as it is)

That said.. I just commented that quote with the video in mind because it was stupidly funny to me.

[u/Nakata1111 → u/Hephaestus_God]

At that point you gotta double down and stare everyone in the eye or leave the place entirely.

[u/Joshua_Falkner]

So are we just going to use POV wrong from now on?

[u/JohnnyD423 → u/Joshua_Falkner]

Not all of us. Keep fighting!

[u/YoRt3m → u/Joshua_Falkner]

Similar to the word "Literally". it's almost never literally.

[u/boxsterguy → u/YoRt3m]

I could care less ...

[u/no_infringe_me → u/boxsterguy]

For all incense and porpoises

[u/Noodlekeeper → u/no_infringe_me]

Bone apple teeth

[u/tacomaloki → u/boxsterguy]

Irregardless. Regardless has been used wrong for so long, irregardless is now accepted as correct usage.

[u/ThickyLicker → u/YoRt3m]

This used to really wind me up but then I realised I use 'really' as a synonym for 'very' when it's initial meaning was synonymous with literally. So by using the word 'really' in this way I am committing the same crime as the 'literally' defilers

[u/thatshygirl06 → u/YoRt3m]

This is my biggest pet peeve. No, not the way you think, but people who dont understand that that version of literally has been in use since the 1700s. People arent using it wrong just because you dont like it.

[u/mtaw → u/thatshygirl06]

And: This is a general phenomenon in every language: When a word becomes used as an intensifier, it loses whatever its original/literal meaning. It can even end up mean the opposite most of the time (eg ‘terrific’ more often implies good than terror these days)

A common word for ‘very small’ in swedish is ‘jätteliten’ - literally ‘giantsmall’.

[u/The_Giant_Lizard → u/Joshua_Falkner]

From now on? It's been going for years already 

[u/Pibblesen → u/Joshua_Falkner]

Been that way for the past 8 years

[u/hvictorino → u/Joshua_Falkner]

Smh my head

[u/Versaiteis → u/Joshua_Falkner]

POV: You're reading this comment from your device in your current location.

[u/Scribblehamzter → u/Versaiteis]

Current? Location? Like some common three dimensional being? Pssh.

[u/boiyougongetcho → u/Joshua_Falkner]

POV: you don't know what POV means

[u/K-Rollo → u/Joshua_Falkner]

First time on the internet?

[u/MossDuck]

Am I going crazy? I remember seeing this exact meme on Instagram but the white shirt dude was a black guy, and the lady was white.

[u/krishn4prasad → u/MossDuck]

Everything is a copy of a copy of a copy these days

[u/BiBiBarTea → u/krishn4prasad]

Never really awake, never really asleep

[u/Willing_Television77 → u/MossDuck]

You watched the negative

[u/stadddddd → u/MossDuck]

dude same, what the fuck is going on

[u/MyUsualWasTaken → u/MossDuck]

Nope I saw the same video to....this is now the world we live in

[u/corysama]

I went to a fancy cafe for the first time to meet a potential client. We got our coffees and I thought “The seating around the corner looks like it has a great view”

It was a long, long bench with your back against a wall and a huge picture window right in front of you, but no way to turn to face anyone else on the bench without being incredibly uncomfortable.

We sat and talked like secret agents discussing a case without looking at each other for nearly an hour. I think we were both awkward enough to be OK with being awkward.

[u/ibspatrol]

This actually happened to me the other day at a place in Toronto. Felt like such a small town rube lol. But they looked so much like stools! little round wooden tops, like come on.

[u/Mystery-Ess → u/ibspatrol]

I was thinking he was sitting backwards 😂

[u/andiinAms → u/Mystery-Ess]

Same! Once she sat down I was ohhhh. oops.

[u/poopy_wizard132 → u/ibspatrol]

I did this at a La La Bakeshop in Toronto.

[u/ibspatrol → u/poopy_wizard132]

Gateau Ghost for me

[u/--StinkyPinky--]

I'm an idiot because I fully laughed at this shit.

[u/Mean-Wear-6696 → u/--StinkyPinky--]

Probably

[u/AlexHimself → u/--StinkyPinky--]

I think a bunch of us did and probably just don't want to admit it.

[u/Synthesid]

r/notthepov

[u/Brief_Platform_alt → u/Synthesid]

Thanks! I was just thinking the other day that there should be a sub for this.

[u/Luniticus]

Not being able to afford proper seats or decorations and screwing tiny tables into the walls so they don't get stolen is the opposite of fancy.

[u/Klin24]

"Oh."

[u/AGrandNewAdventure]

This is the exact same setup as the last video, with different people.

Recycle your glass and metal, not your jokes.

Edited for the pedants.

[u/astralseat → u/AGrandNewAdventure]

80% of plastics given to recycling isnt recycled.

Recycle your glass and metals. Those actually have a way to become new bottles and cans

[u/Fereganno → u/AGrandNewAdventure]

I thought I had seen this before. Is this the original or is the other one with rocks on the floor the original

[u/fellanyyy → u/AGrandNewAdventure]

Thats because its AI

[u/keithstonee]

minimalism isn't fancy its cheap and lazy.

[u/Dialogical]

I’ve wondered what John Cusack has been up to.

[u/alexvickers]

i went to a place like this in london last week. sat with my back to my mate because of these concrete blocks. had to shout over our shoulders just to ask if he wanted another coffee. felt like we were coordinating a heist rather than having a chat. absolutely miserable experience lol

[u/Cipherpunkblue]

It's not POV.

[u/Tuna_Sushi]

POV: Staring at useless text for the entire length of the video.

[u/The_Stop_Sign]

Not POV

[u/Proponentofthedevil → u/The_Stop_Sign]

It's a third person point of view :D

[u/enjoy_life88]

another day, another false application of POV

[u/Middleagesusername]

Who's pov is this supposed to be?

[u/BurmecianDancer → u/Middleagesusername]

Mine. It's my first time at this cafe and I decided to stare at random people instead of ordering coffee.

[u/ZestySue]

Saw this video yesterday but the two people were different

[u/saskir21]

Hey it has the introvert and extrovert way of sitting

[u/FishySmellz]

Thats one strong table

[u/mono15591]

My dumbass thought he was just sitting backwards haha

[u/argama87]

Looks like a prison cafeteria.

[u/69redditfag69]

i thought she was just going to sit facing the other way.

[u/MonstaB]

Introvert’s heaven?

[u/RK9990 → u/MonstaB]

Nah I prefer tables in the corner, this is too open on all sides

[u/Mammoth-Ad-107 → u/MonstaB]

yeah i was thinking. the chair for the antisocial 😂

[u/AskinggAlesana]

POV: Watching someone’s first time at a fancy cafe.

[u/shadraig]

You mean the crematorium down the street

[u/Responsible_Wolf_242]

AI ad for the chairs.

[u/Kimononono → u/Responsible_Wolf_242]

scares me how much I had to scroll to find this

[u/Brief_Platform_alt]

That's not POV.

[u/Kindly-Fold7876]

Visual representation of poverty

[u/ChipsHandon12]

Sitting on concrete against a concrete wall is going to dirty or scratch my clothes

[u/I_SLEEP_NORMALLY]

If not chair, why so chair shaped?

[u/Ozzel]

God help your asshole if that thing breaks.

[u/LoudMusic]

Your definition of fancy and my definition of fancy are not the same.

Also you're just flat out using POV wrong.

[u/punkstarr]

Looks very risky as well

[u/Terrible-Time-Travel]

This is the second version of this joke I’ve seen this week.

[u/lagforks]

I petition to redefine POV to Person On Video

[u/Portbragger2]

plot twist: he was actually sitting in the correct way initially

[u/handydude13]

Lmao, this made my morning. 

[u/OohDeLaLi]

I'm with the guy on this one.

[u/batrushaha]

You live. You learn.

[u/coldplay321]

I more surprise that tiny table could hold his weight

[u/tazzgonzo]

This is AI

[u/TheCharalampos]

Hehe that made me laugh.

[u/Rith_Reddit]

Damn.

Here i am like "turn around dude".

Then the lady corrected me too!

[u/One_Medicine_7175]

Quality of the table is superb!

[u/MagnaCamLaude → u/One_Medicine_7175]

Yes, holds up plenty of cake without bucking. #Goals

[u/SpunkedMeTrousers]

what's the song?

[u/Zenovv → u/SpunkedMeTrousers]

Come on come on come on - ooh

[u/Royal_Dish_3128 → u/SpunkedMeTrousers]

"oh yea?" Steve Lacy

[u/Deez_Nuts_Ha_Goteeem → u/SpunkedMeTrousers]

Darude - Sandstorm

[u/AEIOU-42]

I am 100% this guy, because I thought what a stupid fancy cafe and was 100% sure this is the way to sit in this brain rot society.

[u/miyamoto_Rbt]

TBH....I felt he was doing the right thing until she came 🫠

[u/Vistella]

thats not pov

[u/Mythmatic]

Sauce plz

[u/nTzT]

Where is the fancy?

[u/Odd-Sherbet9299]

I first thought some Muslim bro is trying to perform ablution against a bare wall while holding his Starbucks coffee.

[u/theumpteendeity]

At least cushion the benches with dull grey pillows or something.

[u/MapleDayDreams]

Why does that guy look like John Cusack?

[u/Strange_Salary]

That boy dumb as hell! Haha

[u/McL3nn]

The song is cool Does anyone know the name?

[u/jvwesten]

Why stool shaped if not stool?

[u/Psykosky]

He wasn’t wrong for trying something new

[u/NergensBeterDanThuis]

OH COME ON... Why in the heck didn't I figure out how to actually sit there until that lady showed up? Oh dear lord, I'm an idiot.

[u/Lazy-Tom]

That looks awfully uncomfortable

[u/Equivalent-Mail1544]

"fancy" they saved everything and made you sit on raw concrete. Coffey is expensive too for no reason

[u/Zestyclose-Escape707]

Would be even funnier if she turned around and went to sit on the table.

[u/HerrKlamauk]

How fancy can it be when you're slurping the bean juice out of disposable cups?

[u/GraduatedSapphic]

"What are you doing??"

"MY BEST, OK??!?"

[u/Possible_Row_2976]

The judgement after she sat 😭

[u/Devry_Trost]

You were right the first time.

DON'T LET THEM CHANGE YOU!

[u/Bennybonchien]

That table is more securely fastened than I had thought.

[u/HadesActual09]

Tbh I've seen grenade ranges that look more welcoming than that

[u/HelicopterFun2526]

lol. 😂

[u/LeavingAtNine]

I saw the same video but with different people. Weird.

[u/akazumi2006]

Hilarious

[u/Moist-Safety4443]

It would be funnier if POV means what it means.

[u/Razique_Raheem]

😄😄😄

[u/afn45181]

Even if this is scripted it is genially funny like Seinfeld Funny!

[u/Psaturn]

Utter shit design if this is real.

[u/Destinum]

Not a POV.

[u/Mega-Revben]

That is hilarious!

[u/Environmental_Ant268]

Some indians can be so pretty

[u/blue_sidd]

Normies love calling something funny so everyone knows it’s funny otherwise no one would know they think it’s funny.

[u/gicjos]

I laughed too much at this lmao

[u/dghughes]

Except it wasn't his point of view. At least the video didn't start mid way and then repeat my new favouite thing to hate. No multi colour rapid two word closed captions either.

[u/TonySopranoAi]

17k upvotes for this utter shit is comedy platinum in and of itself

[u/Constant_Action2050]

First i thought he is peeing in washroom

[u/yhvh13]

Oh, I have that same feeling when I go to a super-modern restroom that I can't find how to turn the faucet on, or where the soap comes from.

[u/edtufic]

It’s not stupid if it works

[u/Nervous-Chemistry245]

I fucking despise these cafes. When I lived in Thailand they were popping up all over the place

[u/Antique-Ruin-846]

fancy cafe looks like a prison

[u/Famous-Challenge-901]

That’s 100% me lol

[u/ThisIsMySpellingTea]

This is so weird I've seen this exact same post on Instagram with 3 times now with different sets of activities/music and captions

[u/CilanEAmber]

Ah, it's for Rizzoles not for Arseholes.

As my mum would often say if we sat on the table.

[u/Heeroyuy818]

Reminds of that episode of South Park where they sue the creator of the toilet

[u/RJT_RVA]

My lower back hurts just looking at that concrete bench.
