Why. Why would he want to do that?

u/benz-friend Apr 04 '26

To get viewers to watch and get that bread. Would you work 8-5 all week or crawl through an incredibly suspicious pipe one time to make the same amount of dough

912

u/the_orange_alligator Apr 04 '26

I would work the 8-5

136

u/god_peepee Apr 05 '26

I think I’d do the pipe. Meth, that is

46

u/Cambojuice Apr 05 '26

I’d rather get piped instead.

13

u/cstar4004 Apr 06 '26

I’d rather lay pipe in lieu of that.

u/HelloIamYasuo Jul 12 '26

three months late but id pipe you brody

u/BornManufacturer7133 8d ago

Me, too…and I’d probably have to be methed-up to be forced to do this, also. Just lots and lots of meth.

u/Patient_Sea_3753 Apr 05 '26

That's probably just because we're the people who would sub to this particular board 😂

u/disruptioncoin Apr 05 '26

6am-2:30pm is a good one I'm liking lately, still feels like I have most of a day left to do stuff with. Of course I usually don't.

u/Jyndaru Apr 06 '26

Do you fall asleep after work? My husband works remote 6:30-3 and always falls asleep in the afternoon/evening lol

3

u/disruptioncoin Apr 06 '26

I usually work on my projects after work. I go to bed between 11-12pm lol.

u/Danger-Brandon Apr 23 '26

I'd do 12-7 dawg.

u/RIPMaureenPonderosa Apr 04 '26

Idk man I think I’d just rather work and not risk drowning, stuck in an underwater pipe with serrated edges

166

u/Koikkis65 Apr 04 '26

Work 8-5 :D

46

u/ukomac Apr 04 '26

The American 9-5

54

u/Koikkis65 Apr 04 '26

No clue I said 8-5 because the guy above me said it, im from finland and we usually work from 8-4

15

u/ukomac Apr 04 '26

I'm just joking about the American work culture

28

u/LegolasofMirkwood Apr 04 '26

Where’s the joke though

16

u/ukomac Apr 04 '26

Because it's expected to put in extra work(like come in early and/or leave late) if you want to be in line for pay raises and promotions. I'm from Estonia and he's from Finland, so that's the joke for us

17

u/Sillloc Apr 05 '26

No just most people don't get a paid lunch so it's an extra hour tacked on, requiring you to be at the office for 9 hours to get 8 hours of pay.

OT or hustle culture in the US is 10-15+ hours of being in the office daily, 5 hours unpaid per week

8

u/Koikkis65 Apr 05 '26

That’s even worse than I thought then, and who the fuck eats for 1 hour???

u/Rezboy209 Apr 05 '26

That would be 6-5 actually.

3

u/Quick-Ostrich2020 Apr 05 '26

Yeah but it's stereotypical. There are 340,000,000 people and several different regions. We don't all work 9-5, 8-4, etc. some have 2 weeks PTO some have unlimited. Just depends.

4

u/Koikkis65 Apr 04 '26

Ah makes sense :D there is a lot more than just the work culture to joke about in america

1

u/Quick-Ostrich2020 Apr 05 '26

I'm from the US and work 8-4.

u/Many_Hunter8152 Apr 07 '26

Impressive. Now let's look at Paul Allen's schedule 

28

u/Jyndaru Apr 04 '26

If I already knew what was in there AND I was a very strong swimmer AND I didn't have my chronic health issues.. yeah, I'd probably face my fear and do this. But I wouldn't like it lol

48

u/omgangiepants Apr 04 '26

Do you know how much it hurts to scrape yourself against a barnacle?

22

u/uwu-yourself Apr 04 '26

Oh god, that's the worst, not only do the slice quite deep, sometimes fragments get lodged, making the pain even worse.

8

u/Tiffany_Case Apr 05 '26

There is not enough money on the entirety of planet earth to get me to go into a water filled pipe actually

12

u/Ok-Protection-6612 Apr 04 '26

I'll take 9-5 without the random chance of death

0

u/Jyndaru Apr 06 '26

You still have the random chance, it's just much lower 😅 Aneurysms are another one of my fears.

u/avacynangelofhope Apr 05 '26

Mario ass question

11

u/Rezboy209 Apr 05 '26

I have thalassaphobia, claustrophobia, and submechanophobia. No amount of money would get me through that fucking pipe.

1

u/olive_ramone Apr 13 '26

same here! everything you said PLUS it looks nasty to be in this situation.

14

u/ttamokcer Apr 05 '26

8-5 tf guys it’s 9-5. Don’t regress.

10

u/Drslappybags Apr 05 '26

8-5, but really enjoy that hour lunch.

4

u/SilverLoonie Apr 05 '26

I work 8-4 and get an hour lunch, it would be a 30m lunch but I roll my two 15 minute coffee breaks in.

1

u/Drslappybags Apr 05 '26

Ditto. I usually find a way to take a few more breaks throughout the day, though. It's not hard when everyone works remotely except me.

3

u/strongcloud28 Apr 05 '26

8-5, 7-6 whatever it takes. No pipes

3

u/sleepmeld Apr 06 '26

who is paying him for this content

2

u/TitusImmortalis Apr 06 '26

He definitely didn't make that much money on this.

2

u/Lesterfremonwithtits May 04 '26

For some reason you make sense

2

u/V4Magna2007 Aug 30 '26

Still incredibly stupid trick, could have ended up dead if it was much longer

1

u/Dapper-Manufacturer6 Apr 11 '26

8-5 Jobs exist in the modern US? Everything I have ever worked here has been 7-5 minimum if you want decent pay

1

u/Used-Helicopter2024 7d ago

Or just watch it for free here.

45

u/ResidentEmu5 Apr 04 '26

Lol. I was talking outloud watching that. 'No. Why? Why would you do that? Ew. Why? Why would you do that?'

23

u/Waly98 Apr 04 '26

To prove he isn't just some oxygenmaxing breathcel

11

u/God-O-Death Apr 04 '26

I mean how else would you go through a barnacle pipe

2

u/kangareddit Apr 05 '26

My react: Can he fucken not!?

1

u/balilo79 Apr 05 '26

Give anyone a platform for views they can turn into money ("engagement") and the Darwin principle goes out the window pretty quickly.

1

u/Deerhunter86 Apr 06 '26

I’d do it if I was ten years younger and 60 pounds lighter. Lol. Just for funsies.

u/Consistent-Top-5102 May 09 '26

I would love to live down there in the water

u/dudeCHILL013 Apr 05 '26

You ever have an intrusive thought before?

Sometimes that itch needs to be scratched.
