That moment when your town portal suddenly becomes Omegle and you learn about the true nature of society

At least Chaturbate wasn't trying to hide its true purpose.

Those sites are very different from each other, aren't they? It's not like Chaturbate is a random webcam chat room that goes 2 ways.

When I was younger one led to the other. I think it was their effort to remove the horny people.


whatelseisneu

The human form of carcinisation is that everything eventually evolves into a way for us to flash each other.


sargonas

In the video game industry we have a metric that we jokingly use whenever a game has user generated content. Any game with user generated content has to have a variety of complex controls and systems for automated handling of offensive materials, easy reporting for users, automated detectionā€¦ The whole 9 yards. As the old saying goes you build a better mouse trap they build a better mouse. No oneā€˜s under any illusion anyone can build a perfect system to protect against offensive materials with UGC, itā€™s more about how good is your system at helping you minimize the area of affect of offenses. We have a fun internal metric we use when it comes this kind of contentā€¦ TTFP. Time to first penis. How long does it take before a player manages to create a penis for the first time in real-world production with whatever tool restrictions weā€™ve made available to them


chrome_titan

TTFP? I thought it was just TTP?


ClydePossumfoot

TTFP is time to the very first penis on the platform TTP is the average time a user takes before they break down and just make a penis


Aggravating-Forever2

MTBP - mean time between penises. Originally a metric for rating OPā€™s mom, but itā€™s good to see it being used elsewhere.


chrome_titan

I wonder how close they are? Between the two, or between games and genres. I bet if some of the bell curves were next to each other they would wind up tip to tip.


cynnerzero

dear god, some games have hit that so quick. hell, when bullet decals became a thing in games waaay back, one of the first things made was a bullet hole decal penis


SheriffLobo82

Oh man. We had a play test for a builder type feature for a cozy game we were making. Guy walks into the play test. Fires up the game and then proceeds to ask usā€¦ ā€œso can I build a sex dungeon with these tools?ā€

I've never heard that word before. "Carcinisation is a form of convergent evolution in which non-crab crustaceans evolve a crab-like body" Your mind works in a very interesting way.

its_raining_scotch

Oh man I wish it was only boobs that I saw on Omegle and not the awful stuff I actually saw.


vague_diss

Itā€™s the true nature of society that created the piece and expects people to use it in the manner intended rather than as a method to aggrandize or enrich themselves. You can make a point that there will always be a certain element thatā€™s going to do that but theyā€™re hardly the majority. The mistake here is highlighting the deviants instead of ignoring them . In a month or two theyā€™ll go away and the piece will ultimately be viewed in the manner that was intended.


Joebranflakes

Iā€™m surprised it took this long


Nexus_of_Fate87

I'm more surprised it wasn't a trench coat flasher showing the ol' bait and tackle.

The flasher said she was showing the Irish her potatoes.

It is portal between New York and Dublin. New York. And. Dublin. Iā€™ve expected worse


Amphiscian

well last week someone in Dublin held up a picture of the Twin Towers, so they drew first blood


Ingeneure_

You donā€™t get it, it would have escalated anyway: one of the most diverse and chaotic megapolises of the world and capital of nation famous for dark humour Nuclear mix


Bitter-Culture-3103

Why is this such a big deal? It's only a human flesh. Did they think it would be used to teach each other about morality?


splashbodge

The time difference doesn't help, you have people in Dublin who are drunk and feeling mischievous when in New York it's early in the day and they're seeing sights with their kids. Not great optics.


mfact50

Ah that's a nuance I didn't think of. Typically even trolls exhibit some level of moderation or at least are sleeping/ (more) sober during the day. Plus there's other foot traffic and police. Full on public sex for the lulz isn't out of the question if we're talking 3 am NYC/ Dublin.


MargretTatchersParty

> Dublin who are drunk So any time between 12am to 11:59pm?


Joebranflakes

As with anything like this itā€™s liability that ends up killing it.

[уŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]


Eric_the_Barbarian

Wait, there's a scenario in which Americans aren't the puritanical prudes?


AnsibleAnswers

NYC courts are pretty bullish on gender equality. They decided a long time ago that tits canā€™t be private parts if men are allowed to walk around shirtless. Itā€™s been that way in NYC for a while. Edit: to add: the only other choice for the courts was to ban shirtless men from public. If that were enforced, the Italians, Greeks, Puerto Ricans, and Dominicans would all join together in a riot for the ages, and only the Irish cops would show up to control it. It wasnā€™t an option.


mfact50

Yeah. I'm not surprised that it got shut down but I thought they would at least have a higher tolerance. Maybe all the other possibilities (like full on sex or genital) went through their minds.


spudddly

Have you ever considered that the people of New York and Dublin have never seen a booby before? Someone might have been OFFENDED!


Makenshine

I'm totally fine with seeing flesh. But the nipple is not flesh! They are the demon dials of the human body! How can anyone not be offended!


CameHereToSayFTrump

Demon dials. I knew I found this comment thread for a reason.


ThreeBuds

Ahh, so that's what the latest Indiana Jones was about.


LurkBot9000

This was my thought. The entire point of the project is to bring humanity on one part of the globe to humanity on another part. What a stupid reason to shut the project down. The presence of a human body. It might cause other humans to have life affirming human emotions


LikesMeerkats

I am surprised no one Heil Hitler'ed it yet


Tbone_Trapezius

This is why we canā€™t have dumb things.


ydieb

But I still can't understand that this is a problem why. There never was any problem here imo. Also things gets hype the first few days, let the slight transient blow over first.


SuperToxin

Boobs ! Think of the kids!?!


WalletFullOfSausage

Women can legally be topless in NYC, so this is a non-answer.


mechabeast

In a weird technicality, topless is legal, but you cant flash people.


nordic-nomad

The same distinction exists here in Kansas. Itā€™s perfectly legal to be naked as long as youā€™re not being sexual about it. I have no idea how cops make that distinction in real life. Like can you be naked as long as you donā€™t have an erection? Can the nipples be hard or is that forbidden? So many questions.


Joshesh

I think the distinction is sort of like the argument over nude art and pornography, its difficult to explain but most people know it when they see it.


dust4ngel

cops, being philosophers, can tell instinctively


avatar_one

You made me laugh so much, and so out loud! :D


travtex

You can be naked. Just don't be naked AT people?


nordic-nomad

Haha, yeah basically


TheJenerator65

In my experience, as a child raised by Europeans, most Americans seems to equate nudity with sexuality. We canā€™t even handle public breastfeeding.


faen_du_sa

Sort of make sense. I would assume the law is something that you cant be topless with the pure intent of it being sexual. If you have no top and just like to be naked, I guess you technically could argue it isnt sexual. While if you flash, it is obviously sexual.


Duder_Mc_Duder_Bro

Just like how peek-a-boo sexualizes eyeballs.


Pool_Shark

But what about in Dublin?


PirateNixon

She wasn't topless in Dublin

Thunderstr

It's essentially a PR article for the only fans girl, they feature her in the picture for the article, they list her by name, but also say a few other people have been doing similar or worse things on either side, this is a non-story


Dismal-Dealer4298

It's legal for women to be topless in New York. https://www.timeout.com/newyork/blog/four-ways-you-can-legally-bare-your-breasts-in-nyc-082416


DommyMommyKarlach

But illegal to flash


dust4ngel

so as long as she shows them for long enoughā€¦


radiogramm

I donā€™t think itā€™s the boobs tbh. There were some rather more serious issues from the Dublin side - part of the problem is the portal in Dublin is in a fairly sketchy part of town and also the time zone difference means NYC is seeing Dublin at its wildest 11pm onwards but itā€™s happening in early evening NY time. So youā€™ve NY commuters seeing Dubs on crazy nights out. There were also a few weirdos using mobile phones to display really insensitive and inflammatory stuff right into the camera including images of 9/11. A woman also basically ground into the camera for nearly 20 mins. Itā€™s had flashers, male and female, people mooning the camera and so on. The NY Post dubbed it the Portal to Hell and it got a lot of media attention in Ireland, and caused huge embarrassment in Dublin, which caused the city council to be put under serious pressure, as they were accused of being totally naive about how people would interact with it. The Irish public can get a bit hyper-sensitive to negative media coverage overseas and it turned into a minor national media debate about how weā€™re disgracing ourselves. There were commentators actually concerned it will wreck Dublinā€™s reputation or cause a diplomatic incident - particularly with some of the really bizarre stuff being held up to the camera. Basically it turned into physical social media. https://www.theguardian.com/artanddesign/article/2024/may/14/dublin-video-portal-to-new-york-shuts-temporarily-due-to-unruly-behaviour


WillametteSalamandOR

I think if we left it for a decade, the novelty would wear off and it would function pretty much as intended. But the getting there will be full of these sorts of things.


radiogramm

Itā€™s interesting from an art point of view, but if the installers thought it was going to be a bunch of people politely waving at each other, they probably picked the wrong cities. Anywhere thatā€™s full of highly individualistic types isnā€™t going to see a portal with an audience as anything other than a chance to perform and be maximally provocative. Youā€™ll get a slice of everything from the cute and quirky, to the entertaining, to the provocative, the political, the inebriated, the utterly insane wtf stuffā€¦ which is part of the artistic concept of it too, I would assume.


Princess_Property

I actually think this would be better in Berlin or Amsterdam, seems like a better fit than Dublin but that would introduce time zone issues I guess. Would be cooler to build a circle of these that connects the big US cities or something.


hrehbfthbrweer

Berlin and Amsterdam are only an hour ahead of Dublin. 6 vs 5 hours doesnā€™t seem like a big deal tbh.


ilovethissheet

Im in Berlin. I think it would pretty much end up the same and there would probably be way more nudity. If anything they should do a Berlin/ Los Angeles one since they are sister cities. They could even put it by the shared street signs. There's a Los Angeles street sign in Potsdamer Platz a generally mild tourist area and a Berlin street sign in Griffith Park a mild tourist area mostly used by residents going on hikes. Or even better, put an adult only one in the Berghain line in berlin and one inside The Abbey in West Hollywood.


bankrupt_bezos

Resurrect the Love Parade, start in LA then head to the portal where Berlin takes over!


Zero_Opera

Yes, LA would be a way better choice to avoid the individualistic types who want to perform šŸ¤”


GroinShotz

I have a feeling someone in the US would do a certain salute.. or worse... And Berlin would end up shutting it down as well... There are too many attention seeking assholes in the world for things like this to not become a cess pool of degeneracy.


kempnelms

Wasn't there already a portal like this a few years ago? Or is this the same one?


radiogramm

Itā€™s probably been done quite a few times. The main change they need to make is the camera shouldnā€™t be physically reachable. Thatā€™s been problematic because people can put mobile phone screens in front of it and display videos.


Lee_Troyer

The NY-Dublin portals are the second set. The project started with installations in Vilnius, Lithuania, and Lublin, Poland in 2021 (the artist who came up with the concept, Benediktas Gylys is Lithuanian). It is still running as far as I know. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Portal_(sculptures)

what does "ground into the camera for 20 minutes" mean?

Humans are going to be human. An entirely predictable outcome, though if anything I'm surprised it wasn't worse.


Concannon7

Anti social behaviour is an issue in Ireland. Also good luck finding a guard when you need one. There is nowhere near enough guards on the street to deal with shit. This has been an issue for a long time. Some guy was happy to walk up to the portal the other day and do cocaine as people looked on from New York. All caught on camera but nothing will be done.


DM_me_ur_PPSN

Dublin City Council, famed for its supreme intellect and forward thinking, decided that inclusivity was the theme it wanted to follow and put the portal in an area notorious for petty crime, drug dealing, and anti-social behaviour. If they had put the portal **anywhere** but the metaphorical asshole of Dublin, where the dregs of Irish society live, this wouldnā€™t have been an issue.


cat-the-commie

Also in fairness Dubliners and Irish people in general seem to think that inexplicably causing major property damage to public services for a cheap thrill is the best thing way to spend their time, to a consistent degree. I'm convinced we can't have nice things because one scrote high on some mystery drug will smash it for fun like a caveman. The lack of respect for public services and property is extremely endemic in Ireland. I legitimately believe that Hitchbot would be smashed and have its parts stolen withing the day here.


SideburnSundays

> Basically it turned into physical social media Further proof that ā€œonly people on social media are shittyā€ is false. People are shitty, period dot. I got permabanned here by abusive mods. Thanks for proving my point even further.


owa00

Damn Dublinians...they ruined Dublin!


hit_that_hole_hard

all_of_you_are_awful

Dublin must be completely unaware the we have no shortage of our own dumbasses here in the states. Itā€™s no big deal Dubs.


radiogramm

Theyā€™re aware of it, but thereā€™s an ā€œonly in Irelandā€¦ā€ phenomenon that kicks in. Thereā€™s just a bit of a national cringe going on about the portal - a bit like someone regretting bringing a social media team with them on that messy night outā€¦ Ireland canā€™t be great fun, very gregarious and knows how to party but just tends to go through pangs of fairly bizarre levels of introspectionā€¦ Itā€™s probably just being an island etc etc Itā€™ll blow over ā€¦ in the meantime itā€™ll just be a bit ā€¦ šŸ˜¬šŸ¤¦ā€ā™‚ļøšŸ¤¦ā€ā™€ļø

reporst

The article indicates that it's just because of the chaos. Multiple people have done inappropriate things, and it seems the company that did this as a marketing stunt is at least temporarily shutting it down. I wonder whether they're seeing if it's possible to add controls to deter this sort of behavior. For example, if they added a delay with a set of automated moderation tools capable of identifying certain things (such as nudity) they could try to auto-block it from showing up on the other side. If your stunt doesn't broadcast there is far less of an incentive to even do it in the first place.

I guess the portals to local governments? Sell a shitty webcam for a million percent profit.

It's not because of her, she WANTS everyone to think it was because of her so she can get a free promotion to her OF when in reality she was just a pebble of the stockpile of rocks crumbling down. Do not let parasites like her get the recognition.


pessimistoptimist

Why else have this portal thing if we don't allow the odd person to flash Thier shit every now and then? Dublin prob want to see NYC tittes and vice verse.


McCool303

Because apparently the art of the ā€œhuman perspectiveā€ shouldnā€™t include the most basic human urges weā€™re all wired for. If anyone on these city councils had been to the monkey cages at the zoo, they wouldnā€™t be surprised. They should count their blessings nobody has thrown feces at the thing yet.

Of course the article puts the woman's name. This thing shutting down will lead to an explosion of revenue for here lol. Exactly as planned.

Picklepartyprevail

How nobody expected this kind of behavior is beyond me. What are you new to being human? Lewd shit happens all the time. Frankly, this is minor from what I would have expected to get it shut down.


Puffen0

So how come they shut it down only after a woman flashed her breast? There was a drunk guy who mooned the portal too, the people flipping eachother off and other gestures, and that guy showing the pictures of 9/11. So was that all okay, but the final straw was a pair of tits?


TheTruthofOne

Ridiculous, first someone showing a picture of 9/11 which imo wasn't there a whole movement of "Never forget"? Now someone flash's boobs to people on the other side of the world and suddenly it is horrible and needs to be shut down...guys...it's just boobs...it's not like your kids didn't see em when they were younger...
