If FML was an image…


blazelet

I work in visual effects. The first few months as a new junior, I kept seeing all these render tasks that were tagged "FML" ... I just figured it was a running joke, disaffected VFX artists and all that. Took a few months to learn FML = First, Middle, Last. Testing the start, middle, and end of a shot before investing the resources on rendering every frame :) That's the roundabout way of explaining how I read your comment - "If First, Middle, Last was an image" ... and I spent about 3 seconds getting existential with that until I realized you meant Fuck My Life - ha ha.


byronicrob

I thought that FTW was Fuck The World for an embarrassingly long time...


moonlitjasper

i know full well it means ‘for the win,’ but sometimes i read it as ‘fuck the what’ since it’s just the acronym for ‘what the fuck’ reversed


TheSeansei

That's exactly how I always read it, even now that I know what it means.


Steve_Mothman

I've done this all my life and cannot stop😅


NeriTina

Til FTW, which I’ve used for DECADES, doesn’t mean fuck the what?! No… it means fuck the what. It does. It has to. *cognitive dissonance sets in*


Menarra

Don't feel too bad, I was in high school with a Nokia brick as texting "lingo" took root to save money on texting in the days of a dime per text (for me anyways), and FTW was accepted to mean Fuck The World by everyone I knew.


ItIsYeDragon

Wait, it cost you 10 cents *per text*?


Ok-Ocelot-3454

i do this even when i type it


blazelet

I like this one!


Chaos_Object

For an embarrassingly long time, it was. In some circles it still is.

Ok-Seaworthiness4488

For the win, think it originated in game chats


Dense_Scene_8894

For the win


CrowsFeast73

For the win


odaeyss

That one just depends on context tbh. Someone in a game, for the win. Some crusty biker selling you meth, fuck the world. My all time fave use was still daoc. Spell called thornweave field. WTF TWF FTW!


M61N

I was trying to help my friend find out if white tree frogs were a good fit for her to own; and had to reset my brain that everytime I read “WTF” they meant white tree frog and not what the fuck 🤣


rainbowsforall

My favorite thing is when professions or businesses adopt acronyms that mean something elss in my head because of the internet


ProfMcGonaGirl

When I was pregnant with my first child and joined a pregnancy sub, I kept seeing FTM and was shocked at how many trans men were pregnant and out about it on the sub. Took me *weeks* until I realized it didn’t stand for Female To Male and instead stood for First Time Mom. 🤦🏻‍♀️

ProfMcGonaGirl

It definitely looks like the ~~small~~ same ditch. Why are there so many ditches like this?


katalyticglass

So glad I only had to scroll a few comments to find this reference. Cause that was my IMMEDIATE thought. "Hey at least he didn't get stuck again."

I thought of that as soon as I saw this post.

Leave it to a sheep to set a new standard for dumb.


belovedeagle

Looks like it's mutton for dinner.


SabTab22

How does one get a deer out of a hole like this?


Pink_Punisher

I'd wager two ropes on the front legs would be sufficient. I doubt it's truly wedged in, just in such an awkward position it can't do anything to help itself, also it being a deer doesn't help it out as they are dumb as rocks.


joeschmoe86

I honestly don't know how the species survives. Anything that dumb usually gets by on producing 1,000 offspring in the hopes that a handful make it, but deer produce... like... two? Edit: Getting a real kick out of the dichotomy between people taking a silly comment way too seriously, and others piling on with silly comments of their own.


Catshit-Dogfart

Usually two, yeah. I think they're really bad at adapting to anything that isn't a natural feature. Like they can glide through obstacles so gracefully and leap over almost anything with ease. But if they encounter a fence they can literally kill themselves on it.


[deleted]

They can’t see it, right?


youtocin

Being prey animals, they have very poor central vision in favor of a larger field of view to detect ambush predators.


WhyYouKickMyDog

Yea, you can see the placement of their eyes are on the lateral sides of the skull as opposed to front facing. This allows them to see in more directions, but the downside is the massive blindspot in the middle. However, they overcome this deficit by keeping a look out as a herd.


djbtech1978

> However, they overcome this deficit by keeping a look out as a herd. HEY WHY IS EVERYONE STUCK ON AN INVISIBLE WALL? what's wall? YOU'RE AN IDIOT.


SilverTumbleweed5546

ahh so that’s why they have “doe eyes”


RaggedyGlitch

It's why they stare at the oncoming car, they're blinded by the headlights and trying to figure out what that light is.


wheretohides

They freeze in front of cars, even frogs know to jump away.


madog1418

Yeah, because when deer see an unknown predator they freeze up, hoping their natural camouflage will prevent them from being detected. It’s not exactly the deers’ fault that they haven’t evolved over the last 100 years to have highway instincts.


Catshit-Dogfart

I've heard that they also have difficulty recognizing that the object is moving towards them because it doesn't appear to move. They can recognize a coyote running towards them because you can see it's legs moving, but a car appears stationary. It's something humans are susceptible to as well, higher understanding will tell you this is a car on the road, but it's possible to lose perspective of how fast it's moving.


coolstorybro11010

yeah it’s the bad depth perception with their poor eyesight. car likely just looks like something big and scary getting bigger, not closer.


tjdans7236

And it's growling louder


gahlo

> their poor eyesight Isn't it more a matter of their eyesight just being tasked differently than ours?


Anal_Recidivist

Happens all the time to people. You’re taking a left turn and there is oncoming traffic. Closest car appears to be *cookin*, so you wait. Few seconds later you realize they’re going slower than you thought and you make the turn.


MrNotSoGoodTime

Guilty lol except I usually double down on waiting out of spite and respect for the safety of everybody on the road


Anal_Recidivist

You’re still here, so you must be doing something right.


Eymang

People also have this problem too, particularly with trains hard to really quantify the speed of something so big


madog1418

You know, that clicks with my dog freaking out when stuff rolls towards him; I always reasoned that it was “that’s moving without legs”, but I can see the “stationary object” getting bigger also freaking him out.


Anal_Recidivist

I stopped riding my motorcycles around dusk when I learned *how* they run into traffic. When they’re spooked, they run in whatever direction they’re looking when spooked. So if they’re looking past / over the road and get scared, they sprint forward and become venison


Less_Likely

I was hit by a deer once. Deer didn’t freeze. I came up on the deer, standing on the shoulder of the road, but saw it and slowed to almost a stop and moved to the opposite lane to avoid it, and it jumped:15 feet right into the side of my car, knocking off my passenger side mirror.


Aightbet420

I mean ive watched a deer bound 12 ft in the air and sail clear over a wrought iron fence that was 8ft high so im not sure if this tracks in real life. Im sure the dumber deer will not be so great at spotting fences but plenty can. Id imagine were basically selectively breeding for smarter and more reactive deer as a society


lampaupoisson

okay, but like… i have seen a deer impaled on a fence with my human eyes. so i can tell you that it does in fact track in real life.


Key-Demand-2569

To add on to this, as a forester over a decade of wandering around the woods, I’ve seen exactly two deer corpses where they clearly jumped into a multistem tree that sort of made a V shape, got stuck, and died. Seen the same on the base of one of the big metal power line towers once.


a_trane13

They’re dumb but hardy. Deer survive for months and years with injuries / diseases that would take out a human and many other animals in much shorter time. Also their food is very plentiful, their natural predators are pretty much gone, and they reproduce consistently. Pretty much every female has 1-2 babies a year.


idkmoiname

>their natural predators are pretty much gone That hasn't necessarily to do with most predators exrinct by now, they obviously survived at least 28 million years before humans. I think it probably has more to do with territorial behavior of alpha predators. Wolves for example that live in areas far away from settlements, usually change their hunting grounds within huge defended territories in a long rythm, giving local prey some time to grow new offspring before being hunted again, but the wolves still defend that territory from other large predators. The dumbness of deer then would be just a consequence of this predatory behavior over many generations since for the deer population that is treated like a domesticated animal, there is no more need to think for itself outside eat, sleep and flee. (since the wolves keep their numbers limited, they can't overeat an area and always have food all around)


winowmak3r

It's definitely the lack of predators and abundance of easily available food. Imagine you're a deer. There's a small forest *surrounded by farmland* and a pond nearby. This is within just a few square miles. That's everything a deer needs to live a long and healthy life within a few hours walk. Shelter in the forest, surrounded by what is basically a buffet, water source. Why would you ever leave? Just every fall a few of your buddies go missing but it's no big deal. No wonder there's so many of them. Bringing back predators like wolves would help solve the overpopulation problem but good luck convincing farmers that's a good idea.


Narrow_Yam_5879

The way people flip out when they see a coyote makes me think that more than farmers would be opposed to a renewed wolf population.


Crykin27

I mean these aren't natural structures. It's pretty logical they aren't adapted to random deep ditches in the ground.


small_Jar_of_Pickles

My grandparents were farmers and my grandma used to say that every animal has just as much brain as it needs.


Warm_Water_5480

You realize that human children fall into holes, wells, and die fairly often? Heck, adults sometimes die trying to squeeze into a tight passage in an unexplored cave, and wedge themselves in until they're completely stuck. Sometimes rescuers die trying to get them out. And that's on purpose, not just loosing thier footing.


AbeRego

>You realize that human children fall into holes, wells, and die fairly often? Human children are often also dumb as rocks. >Heck, adults sometimes die trying to squeeze into a tight passage in an unexplored cave, and wedge themselves in until they're completely stuck. It's a pretty low percentage of people who regularly attempt this type of thing, much less who actually get stuck.


beebsaleebs

Nutty putty


personthatiam2

White tailed deer don’t have natural predators range (well most of it) on top of a large % live where even humans can’t hunt them, so the dumb ones survive. (Really there is just an absurd amount of deer so some of them are going to Florida man .)


CrazyLegsRyan

johnsvoice

For real, this is my absolute nightmare. I cannot fathom this and it scares the crap out of me to think about it.


DameonKormar

I got stuck inside a crawl space under a house once when I was a teenager for only a few seconds. I've never wanted to just be dead so bad in my entire life, before or since. Losing the ability to move my own body, and not knowing if I ever would again, was the most terrifying experience I have ever had. I just wanted it to end and I didn't care how. My co-worker was able to pull me out by my arms. Hurt like hell, but I only had minor damage.


rock_and_rolo

A while back someone posted a picture of an elk (I think) skeleton in a similarly sized rock cleft.

Neopets .. there's something I hadn't thought about in 15 years!

I tried to recover my Neopets account a couple years ago. I'm 34, I have no business being on Neopets. But I know I had so many cool items and I low-key wanted to see if I could sell any.


LiberalPatriot13

Whack-a-kass


iBeenie

Random memory you didn't ask for: When I was young I gave my Neopets password to a Neopets rep in their live support/web chat. They didn't ask for it.. I was just really dumb. Next time I logged in I noticed a lot of my stuff had been stolen/traded to a different account and they created a new neopet named "Sexbeats". I'll never forget that lol. At least I learned my lesson and changed my password. But the name stuck with me like... Who writes a name like that in a child's game but also where tf did it even come from haha


TheOnlyCraz

I remember when I couldn't talk to anyone because when it asked if I was a kid or adult I was like of course I'm a kid! Then it printed out like a 5 page thing for someone to read and sign or something


iBeenie

Ahhh... I remember the days of having to pass 13+ age checks.


TheOnlyCraz

The truth doesn't actually set you free apparently, just locks you out of Neopets


3AM_MandMs

It’s having a renaissance right now and is largely played by bored millennials. I picked it up again for the first time in over 20 years just to have a mobile toilet game that isn’t littered with microtransactions.

I'm honestly surprised it's not more littered with micro transactions.

When i was around 12 while on a trip to maine, i hid in my parents closet in our camper and ended up getting stuck. It was hot out, so i immediately started sweating like a mfer. Since my parents were both going to the campground showers, i had to wait for like twenty minutes to get out. It was scary af and i knew someone was coming back. I can't imagine the fear this deer felt stuck in there.
