OMG Boobs! Does nobody think of the Children?!?!?!?!
Pathetic
public toplessness is legal in NYC and has been since 2010 for everyone. i’m guessing that it’s not in Dublin?
Lol nope! Republic of Ireland has been a heavily-Catholic country since its inception. It’s lightened in recent years and some surprises do slip through but that ain’t one of them.

Man ass is verifiably less offensive to religious types than any part of a woman being visible.
I’d churn my own butter at the sight of a woman’s bare ankle bone. Best to just punish women for that. It’s impossible to control my own urges.

vile, never heard it said this way before, I’m stealing this for personal use

Because Catholicism.
Catholics believe that any sexual activity that doesn’t have a chance of making a baby is sinful. Gays obviously can’t make babies as a normal part of their love making, so that’s where the whole ‘being gay is sinful’ bit comes from

Because they find gay sex unappealing, seems to be the main reason. If you point out that that is simply because they’re not gay, they are unable to understand the point.
It’s the enjoying part that is frowned upon. They assume everyone loves seeing boobs so they must be punished for that. A bare man ass is comical at best for most. If they thought people were enjoying it they must be punished
I don’t think you’ve been to Ireland in a long long time if you think the church has any moral or real power over society as a whole here.
well she wasn’t in dublin, this whole thing is dumb lol
Might read past the headline.
Another “very drunk” woman was filmed rubbing her behind against the screen, while a different video shows a man
One person on the Irish side went as far as to show the New Yorkers images of 9/11 on his phone
Probably wasn’t the only time. People generally being people is probably why they shut it down.
Thatll stop em from being people

Ask Irish people what they think about the drink “Irish car bomb”
Removed by mod
Super Sweet
Tell me you don’t know what an Irish car bomb is without telling me you don’t know what an Irish car bomb is.
…Irish car bombs have Bailey’s Irish Cream and possibly coffee liqueur in them. Many people would say that’s a pretty sweet drink.
You sure you’re not thinking of an Irish Boilermaker? That’s just a beer with Irish whiskey.
I think this is a regional thing, as you just made me doubt myself.
I’ve ordered car bombs here in the Midwest and it’s always been whiskey and a stout. I don’t know if I’d call anything with just coffee liqueur in it a “car bomb” that’s not a very strong drink.
A quick Wikipedia check says it can be either Irish cream or whiskey, and that the names are somewhat interchangeable.

Wow, you’re pleasant.
See, where I’m from, a carbomb is a cocktail made from beer and hard liquor. We’ve got Chicago carbombs/handshakes which is Malort and Old Style. I’ve even had a Mexican carbomb with tequila and Modelo.
Coffee liqueur and beer isn’t really a thing where I’m from, in the heart of corn country. So you’re the one drinking milk shakes at the bar as far as I’m concerned.
Maybe instead of being a dick to people because of where they happen to live, you could try to learn about cultural and regional differences.
That doesn’t really seem very equivalent. The closest equivalence I can think of is either the terrorism of the founding fathers, which is too far back to really strike the same chord, or maybe like, american drone strikes or something. Or, maybe if I was feeling particularly cheeky, I might compare it to the violence enacted by the civil rights movement, since that was also a domestic american liberation movement maybe comparable to the IRA, but, I dunno. not really any american style equivalence there.

? what does this mean
Removed, civility.
I’m not saying it was a good thing to do, but once you have that idea, it becomes an irresistible temptation. The 9/11 one, although I guess it might be true of the other one, too.
Based
Greed is the most destructive human impulse, but prudishness still wins handily in the fucking annoying category.
Oh no, boobs, those things pretty much everyone likes, the horror!
The average person has one boob and one testicle.
Slightly less than one boob and one testicle. Just like the average person has slightly less than two legs.
Some of us have 2 boobs and 2 testicals :)
And some have 0 boobs and 0 testicles. Gender affirming care probably evens out
Won’t someone think of the ovaries!?
The average person has slightly more than one skeleton inside of them
IDK, there’s slightly more women than men, it may skew the results
and women who have had mastectomies.
That’s kinda my point. Mastectomies would bring the average down but more women brings it back up. Too lazy to Google but is global # of women who have had mastectomies more or fewer than # of “excess” women (over men)
Well are we just equalizing based on boob number, or are we also equalizing based on average boob size? Because some men also have boobs due to hormonal imbalance, and that’s even more if we decide to count like, fat induced moobs for whatever reason. The hormonal imbalances at least would probably bring the average back in favor of slightly more than one boob. If we’ve equalized it to boob size then we’d probably all have like small A cups or something.
What about fat guys? Does that up the average?
No, those are moobs.
I was thinking about this in terms of limbs, and wondering, since pregnant women have more than 4 limbs, wouldn’t the average number of limbs be greater than 4?
There are probably considerably more pregnant women than people missing limbs, but then again, the women only have additional limbs for 9 months.
Glad to know I’m driving that leg median up !
I dunno. My buddy Kyle has like 10 legs. 9 of them are prosthetic, but they all count.
What about stilts?
I’ll have to ask Kyle. I consider him my authority on what’s a leg.
he has a leg up on everybody else
You must be pulling my legs
That’s not true! I got two it’s just that one is really big!
Boobs should never shut anything down. Ever.
Its a good thing they never invented a bomb that distributed female nipples over a wide area.
Entire cities could be lost.
The United military forces of me are acutely interested in this device you describe for warfare.
But it would only work on prude countries.
France would scoff at such an attack, they have raunchier shampoo commercials. And Scandinavian countries wouldn’t even bat an eye.
Finally, a way to obliterate Utah once and for all

Yeaaah. Not just boobs
The horror of the human body. Hide it, seal it and be ashamed of it.
Well, the 9/11 wasn’t about the human body. Rubbing ass against the screen is outright unsanitary.
Definitely tasteless. But hardly the worst thing I’ve seen someone post in an online space.
I might argue the root of the problem is anonymity.
I doubt it was tasteless. It probably tasted like screen
Does it really need to be sanitary?
I mean, people aren’t expected to eat off it or something are they?
But it was >20 years ago. We might as well be showing them pictures of the Troubles.
Everyone knows that if children are exposed to breasts between ages 3 and 17 they will go blind.
I literally wear clothes everyday. I’m doing my part.
i mean, the problem isn’t the portal in those cases, and i think the portal is a very cool idea – imo, the fact that these people get in the news for it is probably why they’re doing it, it’s just one way to get people’s attention by doing outrageous stuff around a new attraction
it’s nothing new, and eventually dies off, and there are probably also many events of people being nice to each other that go unreported
edit: also, yeah, showing body parts generally shouldn’t be considered that harshly imo - of you’re forcing people to look at them, they’re probably not pretty, but I wouldn’t call those “vulgaire” either
Won’t somebody think of the children! Lol

To be fair to the yanks, you sowed us nice boobies and we showed you our pale arses, cocaine and videos of 9/11.
This girl should not get the blame here.
How did New York come out sounding like the wholesome part of this story?
What is more wholesome than sharing baby feeders? Who doesn’t love baby feeders?
I like them
Checks out
Seriously it’s one of the few things we as humanity can all agree are nice.
The US isn’t half as bad Lemmy makes it out to be.
Yeah as a non American I think a lot is it is because most of Europe ignores its problems - you’ll hear endless stuff about racism in America but very little about it In France so it feels like the US is worse but France is way way more racist, like absurdly so.
I heard that during COVID lockdowns, couples in Paris parks were left-alone if they were caucasian while the non-caucasians we beaten by the cops without any warning whatsoever.
They said New York, not the US. New York is it’s whole own little world. And it’s pretty raw.
By being sober.
ish.
when I read where they put the portal I had the exact same thought as everyone else who knows what town is like on o’connell street. why didn’t they just put it on talbot st
Or into Phoenix Park! Where peace and tranquility reside, inner city wild life
woman
Here’s the thing. If people aren’t allowed to have fun with your intercontinental portal, why even have it at all?
Also, how hasn’t anyone learned that this kind of thing is an absolute guarantee? “It’s happened countless times. But it might not this time!”
Dorks. Put that shit back up. It’s neat!
The portal is a genuinely fun idea. I’d love to see those all around!
But… people being people got to ruin all the fun. So… I don’t suppose I’ll be seeing one of these any time soon.
Blah.
It’s not a genuine view into my city, unless a homeless guy stabs it and takes a shit in front of it
I’d love to see those all around!
There’s another such portal between the Polish city of Lublin and the capital of Lithuania, Vilnius.
I think the shutting down after such “incidents” is the final expression in this piece of art.
“A connected world is great, as long as that connection includes approved messages only.”
Fun fact: Women being topless is not illegal in NYC.
*As long as it’s not in furtherance of a business interest.
Isn’t the purpose of the art piece to demonstrate the human condition across an ocean? Flashing/mooning/offensive memes, that is what humans do. This should stay up and more should be put in place. How much more culturally connected would cities in the US be linked to other UK or EU cities?
Ava Louise, for those curious. Her/her tits are… not really my thing… Like a Bratz doll with Thanksgiving turkeys stuffed into her chest.
That’s a very accurate description.
But she sure lacks attention.
You know this kinda makes me think that it would’ve been funnier if they connected two cities that hate each other more than just like, dublin and new york, which I can’t really think of as ever having had beef. Maybe NYC and chicago, or something. You can’t really put something like this in texas or LA because nobody fuckin walks anywhere, unless maybe you put it in like long beach or like some random part of Austin or something. Seattle? Does Seattle have beef with anywhere? On the other side, could we connect Dublin with like, London or something? Maybe some city in northern Ireland?
Something like outside Yankee Stadium and Fenway Park, and they’d probably be destroyed in minutes…
That’d be fuckin awesome though, imagine the chaos you could just ambiently cause, especially if you made it out of like, bulletproof glass and concrete, and maybe included some self-cleaning mechanism, or set the camera back from the glass a ways, so people couldn’t obfuscate the camera or the image. Could be the move, could be the play.
Seattle has beef with Portland. Hippie beef. Impossible beef.
Mississippi and Bagdad
You’d just have the religious nutjobs get the thing shut down in the name of “saving the children.”
I don’t know what the Baghdad citizen would do though.
(In case this goes over people’s heads, I’m calling the Mississippians the religious nutjobs)
Moscow and DC. What could possibly go wrong.
This would be a pretty one sided fight.
Now DC to Beijing. That would be spicy.
I don’t think the average Chinese person is as rabidly nationalistic as Americans and Russians though.
Give me Tehran and Jacksonville. Miami and Havana. Nashville and Pyongyang.
The thing would be shot down in secs. OH NO COMUNISTS. Ratatata skrskr
Equally likely to be shot down by Russian soldiers for spreading “western lies”
Then suddenly replace the LED screen with an actual wormhole bridge and watch the melee from afar!
Airlines hate this one weird trick
I fear, stones would quickly put an end to such portals.
Miami and San Francisco would be excellent
But make both of them out of bulletproof glass
Toronto and Boston would be funny as hell LOL
Belfast and Dublin would have been nice.
Dublin and Rome
THIS IS WHY WE CAN’T HAVE NICE… hey those are nice.
“One person on the Irish side went as far as to show the New Yorkers images of 9/11 on his phone, according to The Guardian.”
oh boy.
I don’t know what they were hoping to accomplish, a lot of Americans practically observe 9/11 as a holiday, complete with documentaries showing off all the footage we have
Should have just told the New Yorkers their Pizza is over rated.
WW3 material for New Yorkers, right there
Are new yorkers really that high strung about it? I would think if anything they’d get more mad about like, insults to hot dog carts or something, but that might strike me more as a philly or chicago kind of thing, come to think of it. Maybe bagels? I feel like the average new york bagel is probably a better kind of undersung food hero, compared to the average overpriced to shit new york slice.
Bold of you to assume anyone outside the USA ever even heard about it.
With how loud new yorkers are, I’d be surprised if they went bragging about their pizza to Italians.
Variations on a Cloud
Yeah New Yorkers are pretty well known for being shrinking violets.
You know what? That took waaaayyyy longer than I thought it would to happen.
Leave it up, you cowards
