How DEEP is that shit, though?
And they probably spent only 1 monthâs wages on that phone. Several sites list the average monthly wage in Henan as 3,150rmb/yuan as of 2013. If something that cost me a monthâs pay fell into some shit like that, I wouldnât try too hard to get that bitch back. Iâd write it off, and either use a credit card (chinese have those, too, you know) or save a couple weeks and buy a new one. But then again, itâs been noted that China is THE most materialistic country on earthâŚso that explains that.
HE may not haveâŚbut you know SOMEBODY at some point didâŚ
Chill Attica, acting all bent outta shape like your new to the GD
Life is harsh, internet is full of assholes so yea, if a bunch of chinaman die in a toilet looking for a iphone, niggas gonna laugh
Okay, guys. Letâs not turn this discussion into a cesspoolâŚ
:tup:
That phone must have been the shit.
I think most are looking at this in the wrong light. China used to be a pretty shitty (dâoh!) place to be, but things are getting better for the people. Well, SOME things. That asshole smog cloud from Captain Planet keeps fucking with them. They can officially own gaming consoles now. They donât die from starvation and bandits anymore, they die from Darwinism-affirming incidents like chasing a phone down a poopchute, or not paying attention and meandering into traffic. I say huzzah for them. They now suffer from 1st world country problems. They have arrived. Feel happy for them.
damn, man that situation stinks, I mean jumping in a hole like that for a shitty phone reeks, of 'bad idea" but three people going with you? when will people wake up and smell the roses? Phones arenât worth that much, youâd think people wouldnât be able to breathe without them.
Seriously though, this is a really terrible way to die. I mean, Iâve dropped items in toilets before and fished them out. They probably thought it was gonna be like that.
Too bad this was some real shit. Well, nobodyâs gonna bring anything near that toilet again.
Where the hell is that even.
Elkhart, Indiana. Looks to be on track to becoming a second Detroit.
(And infrastructure problems like that are part of why I thought this might have happened in America.)
Gods, Iâd complain about you quoting all of that, but since Iâm going to essentially respond to ever bit of your moral outrage because Iâm bored right now, it doesnât really matter.
I never said I knew what there economic situation is. I donât care what it isâwell, was. Thereâs no reason to risk your health or life over a damn phone, much less spend that much on it. Iâm pretty sure given how much it supposedly cost, it wasnât used for the sake of their livelihood, so it was unlikely to be actually vital, which makes the whole situation as dumb as it is.
Hell, if they werenât rich, then thatâs even more reason to not spend that much on a phone.
I am aware of that. That doesnât change the point of a phone not being worth your health or life.
Youâre still missing the point. Horrifically.
People do stupid shit to retrieve things they shouldnât all that time because they either think theyâre invincible or donât think things through. Just because he had âno reason to think his life was at riskâ doesnât mean that it magically wasnât, as ended up being the case. Itâs not likely he got surprised by a hidden landmine or something. Going into a knee-deep, enclosed cesspool isnât exactly worth it even without the âhiddenâ chance of suffocation.
See above. Nothingâs guaranteed, much less your safety or life if you donât think things through.
âFor all we knowâ basically means âwe donât know, but Iâm going to act like he did because it seems to help my pointâ. No oneâs saying he donned a Speedo and did a triple axelâyes, I understand those are separate sports, shut upâinto the pool head first. It doesnât stop his actions from being that much less stupid than if he actually had.
Yes, that part is understandable. It doesnât change the fact that she wouldnât have wasted her life in the first place if her son hadnât given into materialism.
See above. Just because something is a split second decision doesnât mean you canât make split second decisions that isnât stupid, especially if someone tried exactly the same thing right in front of you.
People never seem to learn from shit, rather literally in this case.
Again, that part is understandable since they werenât there, just not how this whole mess started.
Emotion/concern often is stupidity depending on the circumstances, such as this which clearly show that going in without a clear plan to save someone often just makes things worse.
Assholes? Perhaps not. Dumb? Certainly yes in this (last) situation.
Calling everyone âfilthâ and a âsociopathâ basically is a put yourself on a pedestal since youâre coming in here trying to take the moral high ground while at the same time agreeing with, what was at its base, a series of extremely stupid actions that cost other people their lives. On top of that, trying to shame people by calling them âsociopathsâ is illogical in the first place since sociopaths donât and canât feel guilt. So even if we were all âfilthy sociopathsâ, we literally wouldnât care about what your judgments; even without being sociopaths, we still donât.
And that is fine. Youâre free to express your opinion about things and reply to things (to a certain degree); itâs the first amendment and all that. At the same time, itâs not mandatory to express your opinion about things and people can do the same things right back to you.
So Iâm just being honest when I say, in this case, no one else in here really gives a shit about how you feel about this and that youâre coming off as a self-righteous prick when you easily could have expressed that you were disgusted by peopleâs reactions without coming off as such.
This seriously must be your first outing on the Internet if youâre getting riled up over this.
Blah blah blah some wack ass pun about the value of human life going down theâŚ
Sounds like you are feeling shitty about the situation 
Alternate thread title: iPhone Returns To Its Natural Habitat
or⌠âSimon says: jump in the toiletâ
Sei no!
What would Brian Boitano do if his phone fell in the loo?
He wouldnât gainer into poo, thatâs not something B.B. would do!
âdonât worry brotha, I know your painâ
Never forget⌠âToilets are supposed to flush, not explode,â
*âI remember there was a âboomâ and the thing exploded in my face,â Pierre said. âI was blinded and pieces flew all over the place.â
âI canât stop thinking about it every time I look at the bowl,â *
Man, forgot about the exploding incident, it looks like humaniy is doomed, those unassuming shit seats are soon going to be rising up on their hydraulic porceline legs to claim their throne as the true leaders of the planet.
Shit is about to get real.
I am still trying to figure out why you would bring anything worth more than 1 dollar to a place where you have to poop next to the giant pit from 300.
nice avatar @Manx
Thatâs mad filthy how you got that man as your avatar smh.
Bunch of idiots.
