Jasper Phillips:

Having seen a serious wrestling or football injury or two I can say that is definitely not true in general. The worst injuries I’ve seen left people just lying there motionless waiting for a stretcher. One kid broke his neck wrestling, and he lay on the mat exactly like that. Well, minus the table. ;-)

Well yeah Jasper, because he broke his neck. Anyway it’s ambiguous enough to probably not post something like that.

It’s an easy test: If someone is being hurt more than superficially in what your linking, does it resolve the injury at the end? That .gif had someone landing on his back and not moving, but it never showed him get up so it’s a bit much. As you age you get more empathetic to such things.

If videos of people jumping on tables and breaking their backs aren’t shared with us, how will we know not to jump on tables?

Yeah, I can see that.

The wrestler I mentioned did turn out to be alright, though he had a neck brace for some time. It’s the spinal damage that matters, rather than whether you break anything in particular.

Whatever happened to celebrating Darwinism? How can we go on if these are the only possible injuries we can laugh at?

BrianRubin · 2011-10-28T15:20:27.000Z

Oh, whoops, now they seem broken, sorry guys!

RobotPants · 2011-10-28T15:21:53.000Z

I agree with Brian. I just can’t get enough of . It’s the best thing on the Internet, and that’s my guarantee!

BrianRubin · 2011-10-28T15:25:18.000Z

Feh, sorry guys, is the first one working now? Couldn’t get the second one to work.

This Firefox image rehosting plugin has a 2(?) mb limit but is otherwise an excellent way to get images to a more reliable host. Also gives a randomized imgur filename which can be helpful for IM conversations. “Hey, Dave, you’ll never guess what happens in guy_jumps_from_behind_door.gif!”

BrianRubin · 2011-10-28T15:34:20.000Z

Yeah, I used imgur, which also has a 2MB limit.

kerzain · 2011-10-28T15:38:49.000Z

I use www.min.us for files over 2 megs, but files hosted there don’t load as quickly as ones at imgur.

Seriously, guys? At least once a day someone posts a broken Gifbin picture here. The first few times it was “Hey, apparently Gifbin doesn’t do hotlinks, change hosts please.”

After that, it’s been “HEY, DUMBASS, GIFBIN DOESN’T ALLOW HOTLINKS” since we should all know better by now having seen it 500 times. Yet here we are, still trying to hotlink Gifbin images.
