Lauren Reacts! David Mitchell's Soapbox *He's got some WILD takes!*

[@countertony]

Regarding hotels, Travelodge are basically Britain's "yeah, it's a bed you can sleep on" choice. They do have a breakfast option, but it comes in a baggie. Premier Inn are, on the other hand, pretty good, with a TV you can plug your laptop/phone into if you want big-screen KZbin (other video providers are available) and an all-you-can-eat cooked breakfast option in the morning.

I love all of these!

[@spongebabe27]

Honestly I'm not sure he has a single wild take lol

Thinking about the restaurant take as an older and more well-read person, David is kinda arguing in the tradition of Diogenes of Sinope, credited as a founder of the philosophy of cynicism. And was also well-known for.... excreting... wherever he happened to be standing, especially if he was standing near someone he disliked. Funnily back in his time, eating in public WAS considered quite rude.

I'm guilty about forgetting that I'm in a public space talking about super weird stuff with my frineds... 🙈

[@AmericansLearn]

Weird how? 😈

[@josepsamarrafarre]

@@AmericansLearn Weird as in "Abortion not being really an option at the time, do you know that, in Ancient Rome, the Pater Familias had to decide if he accepted the new baby into the family and, if he didn't want the baby, he or she could be thrown away with the rest of the domestic trash?". As you can imagine, the person I was talking to is also a total History nerd...

We are not a “competitive species”. We don't need, like, or welcome competition. We like a quiet time without competition as far as possible. We know we are the best, the worst, or somewhere in between, and see no need to prove anything. We avoid challenges whenever possible. Those amongst us who have a need to win everything are are in a tiny minority and seen as tedious, brash, over-assertive, and repellent. We only believe eating in public is fine, but urination, defecation, and copulation is not, because we have been taught that this is the case. All are perfectly normal and necessary functions of any human being, and there is no a priori reason why only one of them can be done within sight of others. Indeed, it is not just permitted, it is encouraged and sometimes compulsory. In the case of bowel and bladder evacuation, there is no reason we should have to lock ourselves away in a cupboard to perform these actions. In these days of sexual equality, we could have public toilets in which males and females remove their lower garments and use one amongst a public row of squat toilets to defecate and urinate into, then move to clean our bottoms with soap and water using equally public bidets in an opposite row, subsequently dress, wash our hands in wash-hand basins, and leave. None of this would be in the slightest bit embarrassing to perform, or be disgusting to behold, because we would not have learned to be disgusted or embarrassed. There would also be the bonus that toilets would be cheaper to construct, easier to clean, cheaper to maintain, and less subject to vandalism. As for sex, most people, if they are honest, would welcome the opportunity to watch others enjoying sex, while the performers wouldn't have learned to be inhibited. by the presence of an audience. The classical Greek and Roman civilizations seem to have managed quite well on a similar basis, so there's no reason ours couldn't.

You should watch Lee Mack "Wok around the clock" and the nanny episode on WILTY. Really funny.

[@AmericansLearn]

I'm already on board. That sounds awesome

[@johnmannymoo8626]

You talk too much

[@yester30]

Reaction channels are not for you, then. March on, the internet is a big place :)

[@yester30]

What else do you expect by giving such comment? "Allright I will change my way of making videos to please johnmannymoo8626"? You cannot seriously believe this is a possibility, so maybe your parents simply didn't teach you to stop complaining all the time. Grow up.

[@MrNathanDJNGGiles]

Honestly, I'm seriously interested, what did you expect when you clicked the video?

[@SirHilaryManfat]

You comment too much.

[@Jim-Scott]

She's American. Americans do that. Hence the proliferation of 'reaction videos' by Americans, where over verbalisation at enhanced volumes is expected.
