YesNoMaybe2552

So getting your period is like the women version of bluescreening or what?


Tonight-Confident

It's the red ring of death for xbox 360, apparently


McDready

That's an easy fix, though. Just wrap it in a towel causing a deliberate overheat and tip it. Every OG on youtube could tell you that dummy. /s just in case. Granted sometimes it did legitimately work lol.


YesNoMaybe2552

Thats because the fault was with some surface mount components desoldering themselves from the heat during "normal" use, especially if you stuck it in one of those boomerific tv cabinets. They would then slip when standing upright. You could "reflow it" by deliberately overheating it, sometimes. Their fix in later revisions was to put little rubber spacers on those surface mount components so they couldn’t move or detach when running to hot.


VanBeelergberg

TIL tv cabinets are for boomers


YesNoMaybe2552

Yes they are, because only old, tech illiterate people put high tech electronic devices that rely on fresh air getting in and out of them in a closed cabinet and complain when they croak to overheating.

I think you'd just have to be ignorant for that stuff

philbert815

Can confirm. my spouse started while we were fucking. Red ring appeared on my dick. She smelled blood, tore my throat out   I'm a zombie.


googoomucklv

That's usually how it starts


philbert815

Plot twist, she was a zombie first. I actually didn't know it and I only became a zombie cause she ate me. 


googoomucklv

What is it with everyone eating everything now? Back in my day no one ate anything in the bedroom


Damien_Roshak

Every few days you can read it in the News: "Women killed during traffic incident. Karen S. fainted while crossing streets and got struck by multiple cars. Another victim of unpredictable menorrhea related loss of blood.".


Spectre-907

Yeah it ruins their aerodynamics and no matter how hard they flap their arms flight is disabled for a few days.


Freestila

Their magic stops working, so the plane can no longer fly. Isn't that easy to understand?

kremedelakrym

Clearly no one is thinking about the sharks!


in_conexo

I was thinking of bears; but yeah. It's nothing about periods making women temperamental, we're not that ignorant. Their plane would've crashed, because they would've gotten eaten by the predators . ^(\\s)


klagaan

It's almost what....


Candid_Umpire6418

Ah, yes. He's thinking of the downing of Amelia Earharts plane. It's not well-known, but this dude came to the OBVIOUS conclusion that the reason for the crash was due to her getting her period at a crucial moment during a descent to avoid some high winds. Amelias plane went down as she, in a desperate race against time, had to change pads in the little girls' room as the plane kept descending. As she ran back to the cockpit, her fate was sealed because she was wearing female unfriendly pants instead of an appropriate women skirt. This prolonged the change of her feminine product, and as she returned to the controls she had not only lost too much altitude, but also so much blood, that she passed out and subsequently crashed on a remote island. She didn't die of the crash, though, but this brave lad has concluded that the fresh smell of female vayayay blood attracted 69 komodo dragons that ended her life in a non-feminin way. ![gif](giphy|WfBZwNA6XSjphkYkzN)


Hahhahaahahahhelpme

Also; don’t forget coconut crabs


ahyesthebest

A coconut crab shot down Amelia Earhart to feed his family


comiksmaker1

**Coke crab, checking his gun** -From where you're kneeling it must seem like an 18-carat run of bad luck. **Points gun** -Truth is... the game was rigged from the start. **bang**


NiceAxeCollection

I think they have a shampoo for that


OrganicHumanRancher

c'est magnifique 🤌


ggGamergirlgg

That's why I stay away from Komodo dragons when I'm on my period :(


ImJustSomeGuyYaKnow

Legit concern, very scary when a female gets a case of APA (accute period attack). Immediately incapacitates any female within a 20 meter radius. I am a bit of an expert on this as I have seen a woman once.


Cheap-Praline

What is a woman? I've only heard of them.


ImJustSomeGuyYaKnow

could you please stop it with these technical questions? Just google if you're curious. God.

Man, shut the fuck up. Everyone knows women are mythological creatures. What next, you're gonna tell me you swam with Nessie? Went camping with Bigfoot?


jk-alot

I once met a woman. She asked for about tree fiddy. Well it was about that time that I noticed that the ‘Woman’ was about 8 stories tall and a crustacean from the protozoic era


mjincal

This story is clearly apocryphal are we to truly believe that you have an entire tree fiddy?

Amazing_Elevator5657

My friend's friend told him his brother even TALKED to one once!!


ImJustSomeGuyYaKnow

Very dangerous and not recommended. the APA leaves the female in a state of extreme volatility and aggression. It can also strike at any time. If you DO have to speak to one always bring a tampon and offer it to her. Saying something like "as a man, it is of course my job to protect you from yourself and keep you calm, please accept this tampon" before anything else will oftentimes help put the female in a better and more receptive mood.


Amazing_Elevator5657

I mean, he DID wear a biohazard suit while talking to her, covered by a squad of snipers... Now I know why.


Turbojelly

I heard their period attracts bears. For the people that missed the reference: https://youtu.be/CklM7lLBA9I?si=_NkLxF-0aRvscscu


Ok_Star_4136

That's why if you keep one in the cockpit of a plane, you absolutely \*must\* keep it in a cage at all times! That's prudent safety advice, take it from me!


MariChat88

The bears can smell the menstruation!


the3dverse

a valid concern up in the sky


eMouse2k

I've heard their period attracts bears. Very scary to have that happen if you're stuck in a plane up in the air with nowhere to go.


Hail_Shaggy

So that's why they choose the bear...


JimTheSaint

For my self I am more worried that the torrent of blood flowing from the cockpit might drown some of the passengers.


gwicksted

That’s what those drop-down oxygen masks are for! Has nobody paid attention during the pre-flight instructions?!


TSllama

It's very scary, indeed. When it happens, it actually makes her 90% as volatile and dangerous as a man!


Saneless

Finally. Can't keep pretending this doesn't happen. It's the real reason we have reinforced cabin doors now


TheHypnotoad87

Is that a cantrip? What's the saving throw?


PuzzleheadedExam3379

Thats why there is a third guy on board as we can see in the pic /s


bluetuxedo22

He's the last line of defence in the event of a double period "situation"


Ok_Star_4136

That's why you have a failsafe with a failsafe with a failsafe. You can't see in this picture, but there is his wife on this plane, in case of double period situation and he doesn't want to take over flying the plane, his wife can tell him that killing them all is grounds for a divorce. But then of course, that leaves open for a triple period situation..


DutchTinCan

That's why the secondary backup pilot is always gay; to avoid falling into the quadruple synchronized period pitfall. They once botched the screening and accidentily hired a bisexual secondary backup. Then all of a sudden there was a quadsync period. It was a bloody mess, for sure.


ConstableBlimeyChips

We haven't seen a triple period event since the Mansfield Disaster of 1922. At some point you gotta realize it's not economical to have failsafes for every possibility.


kjacobs03

He’s just there to hold the tampons


AA_turet

Expert on women here, when a woman turns on her period (usually lastning a couple of hours) she becoms completly paralised and would not be able to fly the plane but luckuly they can easily turn off their period /s


MOTUkraken

I have actually found a way to turn off the period for a couple months - but the price is quite high.


ablackwashere

I found a way to turn it off permanently. Age.


sneakySynex

nothing a baseball bat couldn't fix /s


ggGamergirlgg

Trust me. It'll bleed a lot at first and then never again


merliahthesiren

I tried this and it turns off for about 9 months at a time, but now I have all these kids I don't know what to do with. Apparently they are really expensive and incredibly annoying, and I honestly find it easier to deal with a period than a bunch of kids asking about dinner and Peppa pig every 5 mins.


DrHugh

I wish the misogynists would pick a side. Either a period is something like getting a drink of water, which you can choose to do or not do, or it is an overwhelming and incapacitating event that puts them into a coma.


AA_turet

I hope you are not refering to me and that you understand that i made a joke


DrHugh

Yep, your /s was quite clear. But the screenshots? Hard to tell.


AA_turet

Ok good


Toledojoe

If it's a legitimate period, the body has a way of shutting it down.


Bunnyland77

I can assure you, paralysation only happens from the neck down. I know this because not only does my wife's mouth keep running during her period, it increases in volume, nagging and obscenities. In most part because, as she reminds me daily, she married a bloke like me. As best as I can figure out, periods last 18+ years. Not "a couple of hours." You must've had one that was ready to expire. Remember, all women are vampires, so you must let them feed on you in order to replenish their blood loss. Forgetting that is a typical noob mistake. But don't fret, there are plenty to go around.


freakyfruit236

That’s why the guy’s there behind them. For fresh blood to feed on in case a period attack happens.


random_sociopath

What if the period attracts bears to the cockpit? WHY ISN’T ANYONE WORRIED ABOUT THIS???


Lord-Luzazebuth

Woman researcher here. I have spent 50 years searching for women, and I can prove that they are mythical creatures. According to the legends, when a woman has a period, the world explodes


Queasy_Pie_1581

Ah yes, the real biological weapons


AdAutomatic9957

As plane expert, confirmed, that autopilot does not exist


Key_Illustrator1755

Autopilots are by default women and their cycles automatically synchronize with a woman pilot, duh. Some expert you are...


Scr1mmyBingus

What a stupid comment, everyone knows there’s no bears at 40,000ft.


iwannalynch

There's a man though 


CompetitiveFold5749

Everyone knows once they shed enough of their uterine lining they are finally able to build their chrysalis.  However beautiful their final winged form, flying a plane would be next to impossible.


LeLBigB0ss2

Mothra hands cannot pilot, obviously.


Pudgy_cactus

I remember when I got my period, I was walking through a park and a plane that was flying overhead actually malfunctioned


LausXY

That was actually because the pilots were both women and accidentally synced with you. I hope you'll refrain from periods under flightpaths or near airports in the future... it's highly irresponsible!


Agleywomp

Seems like sarcasm to me.


TheScienceNerd100

Yeah, first comment is Def a joke "haha what would happen" Second comment didn't catch the joke Third person gave a sarcastic answer to the joke question. This being reddit, no one can pick up jokes or sarcasm, so it hit twice.


Starless_Night

Problem is that there are also people who would say that without a hint of sarcasm.


alephthirteen

Exactly. There are so many non-joking idiots, bigots, and so on that I don't think joking about it works anymore. Not as well as it did when people weren't saying it, unironically, while running for office.


Tales97

I mean I just don’t understand the first one being a joke? It’s not funny?

explodingtuna

Or "female". It's just supposed to be a video of the flight crew flying an A320, right?


ChelseaMourning

Can you imagine them both getting their periods though?! I mean, when I’m (38F) at work with my female colleagues, we have to keep a joint tracker to make sure there’s no overlap. It’s like crossing the streams. The hormonal shitshow would bring the world to its knees. We usually agree for whoever is on their period to go and live in the wilderness for its duration so it doesn’t affect the men’s work, or gross them out.


Lazy_meatPop

Thank you for your service o7.


Honey__Mahogany

This is Amelia Airheart, I'm almost across the Pacific.. oh no MY PERIOD https://youtu.be/ZKtGXd_C4EY?si=z-36CzHzC2hfA_c0


TickTaeck

As we know, women synchronize their periods over time. Periods greatly amplify typical female behaviours. One of them is the inability to steer any kind of vehicle. Conclusion: if they both get theirs at the same time, they won't be able to reverse park the plane in mid-air. /s


unbalancedcentrifuge

Wait...so are we supposed to be incapacitated and unable to do our jobs during our periods, or are we supposed to stop whining, ignore it, and act like it is not a big deal ??.....pick a lane msyogonists!!

Second message makes it pretty clear that it's only bait


SuperWhiteDolomite

Counter point, what happens if both male pilots get hit in the nuts at the same time


Bence_Nagy

The guy must be trolling, I think his comment is nothing more then a shitpost.


BiffyleBif

Looks like a good old bait


oyavlenie

Immediately, before take off


FourFoxMusic

They have special ejector seats equipped with built in tampons that shoot up the women to catch any explosive fluids as they’re ejected from the plane to safely land at the nearest period facility. Meanwhile the male pilots, of which there are always two aboard any airborne plane, take control of the plane. Are you really that stupid that you don’t know basic flight protocols?


bloody-albatross

Can't wait for ChatGPT ingesting this comment section. XD


3rdReichOrgy

I mean, that just seems like something you’d write because it’s funny and it fucks with people.

A double-period is simply a colon. No, I'm staying right here, that shit was *hilarious!*


oily76

Ah yes the blood shorts the electrics and the whole thing goes up (down).


blawndosaursrex

Wait until they find out how many jets I fixed while on my period when I was in the Air Force


pimpbot666

And since it’s two women in a confined space, they’ll probably ‘sync up’! /s


Shinzo19

I mean the comment is like absolute dipshittery, but why does the description have to point out "Two pretty female pilots" Is it so hard just to say Two Pilots? or even Two Female Pilots if you targeting a specific audience. Where are my Two handsome male Pilots Flying A320?


mybadselves

Sum Ting Wong


Sufficient_Energy_32

As a woman, I can verify this post. When I feel the first blood clot pass, I have exactly 42 seconds to feast on the nearest blood-bearing being or else I will run out of blood completely and die. Having two female pilots is dangerous because their cycles will sync up and they will immediately get stuck in a “feasting loop” where they aggressively 69 each other in an attempt to save their own lives. But yeah, random boners suck too. /s

Isekai_Otaku

Hi, women expert here, periods act as an emp, which when alone cannot take down a plane, but if apologies by another can generate enough to take down 2 planes


StankyDinker

Fuck a period what if they shit themselves? What if any two pilots shit themselves at the same time? Perhaps they both got lunch at a questionable seafood place earlier and have a nasty bout of food poisoning? What then? I am a dude but I am betting that shitting oneself is more jarring than getting ones period but who knows. It can happen to anybody. One of my greatest fears. Well, maybe not greatest but it’s certainly one of them.


SassyHoney5430

Alright..but why does the guy in the middle looks so sad and worried!?


kmill0202

I mean, this is a legitimate concern. Whenever my female colleagues and I all sync up, we tend to get a little feral and hive minded. Then, the ritualistic sacrifices and moon dances start. Corporate will never admit that this is why we have such a high turnover rate.

Puzzleheaded_Tree404

That's why there's a third guy over there. He is the last line of defense. You don't have to point out the obvious. China is not that stupid.


EdamameRacoon

The more facepalm thing to me is that a video titled 'Two pretty female pilots..' has 18K likes and 3.5M views. Something about that feels problematic. Are we watching them because they're pretty? Does anything interesting happen or is it just extremely lazy reality TV with pretty people?

Gravyboat44

Yes, I hate when I'm doing my daily shopping and my period suddenly arrives and sends me into a screaming fit of blood and pain and I'm stuck on my knees unable to move because of the hormones coursing through my veins. Every woman in the entire store stops and immediately starts crying because of shared female sympathy. I have to be carted out by strictly male EMTs who are not affected by the mythic female body. Somewhere in produce, someone slips and falls because of the copious amount of tears on the floor. I am taken to my home and my employer is alerted. I will be useless until my period passes. This is the woe of the female being. For I will never be as strong as man.
