What’s going on?

BurnedDonut,

As you can see they are giving opening greetings for this session.

Cagi,

This is a Maori war dance called a Haka. Traditianally meant to intimidate your enemies and psych yourself up before a big battle. Here are some real Maori warriors performing a large Haka. youtu.be/xI6TRTBZUMM

AI_toothbrush,

I know about maori people but what is the context for this clip?

Cagi,

She’s newly elected. This was a part of her first speech and it has gone viral. She’s Maori and I suppose this is her saying she’s there to fight, but I didn’t see the rest of the speech.

penquin,

That’s badass

Cagi,

Imagine seeing an army doing this in full face paint 300 years ago. Terrifying. I’d give up, they win.

penquin,

Why 300 years ago? Now, I’d still give up. That made my hair stand up.

Thief_of_Crows, (edited )

Yeah but this way is way scarier, cause even if you survive the army, you now also have to invent a time machine if you ever want to get back home.

Geobloke,

Well tattoos, but yeah. They also do it before every union game and it makes me want to pick up the ball again and play them. Not going to happen, but the Aussie side is pretty shite at the moment, so there’s a chance

Which demon did I just summon to this earthly plane by watching this? Ah well, it’ll have to fight the ones already here for dominance, so I’m sure it will be fine. :-P

If only there was a better way to roll a wheel

Looks like somewhere in Europe that has a police requirement of a college graduate. These cops are acting like American police.

That’s correct. It’s the ‘Berlin’ riot police(for demos etc), they are shipped in from other cities because locals don’t like to hit locals, but Bavarians love hitting leftist Berlin scum climate activists. dumbest mfs you’ll meet.

That seems really useful in very certain situations but an absolute nightmare in any other.

distantsounds,

Just like explosive diarrhea

That’s actually cool!

Fun fact: cats don’t sleep so it probably thought the person might be dead

I don’t get this humour. Or do you really think they don’t sleep?

kittenzrulz123,

Clarification: they don’t sleep like people, cats are always ready to defend themselves and prefer shorter naps
