Seems like every time I did that it pushed me down into a hole in the middle of the bed and I was shot back out as an unexplainable quantity of blood.

[–] faythofdragons@slrpnk.net 39 points 1 month ago (1 children)

This is my hole. It was made for me.

[–] Davel23@fedia.io 14 points 1 month ago

It also turned you into Johnny Depp.

[–] gens@programming.dev 8 points 1 month ago

Reminds me of the time I was working at Walmart and had to clean the milk fridge out; pulled up the panel at the bottom of the fridge where the drip trap is and there was a fully sealed, in-box, portable TV from the 90s when the store first opened under there.

They didn't let me keep it. 😩

[–] Mouselemming@sh.itjust.works 32 points 1 month ago

Your bad for letting them know about it.

[–] ZombieChicken@reddthat.com 5 points 1 month ago

Check the manager's office

[–] Prox@lemmy.world 43 points 1 month ago (1 children)

I wouldn't call this scene a "good night's sleep"...

[–] EvilBit@lemmy.world 27 points 1 month ago (2 children)

He achieved REM stage at least once…

[–] PabloSexcrowbar@piefed.social 12 points 1 month ago

Well yeah, it wasn't the end of the world as we know it at the time.

[–] hansolo@lemmy.today 3 points 1 month ago

REM as in "Razored, Exsanguinated, and Murdered?"

[–] Steve 38 points 1 month ago (2 children)

Stop exaggerating. That TV weighs barely more than half that.

[–] Onomatopoeia@lemmy.cafe 9 points 1 month ago

The handle in top is a great indicator. 60lb would break that

[–] Juice@midwest.social 6 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

Seriously. Theres no way that television even just weighs barely half as much as people seem to say it almost doesnt. The only way is if you weigh 2 televisions, double it, halve it, double it again, and then divide it into fourths. Even then it wouldnt barely weigh nearly what most people think it almost weighs

[–] madjo@piefed.social 19 points 1 month ago (1 children)

A weighted blanket is a better option, but you do you.

[–] Blum0108@lemmy.world 17 points 1 month ago (1 children)

But the weighted blanket won't fry my testicles the way I like.

[–] Napster153@lemmy.world 3 points 1 month ago

How else are you going to spawn the Incredible Hulk otherwise? Work in an secret and very unethical military research project? Proposterous.

[–] Pirtatogna@lemmy.world 17 points 1 month ago (4 children)

Why are his pants unbuttoned though?

[–] zarkanian@sh.itjust.works 10 points 1 month ago (1 children)

He was watching a Jazzercise tape.

Richard Simmons.

[–] Ensign_Crab@lemmy.world 7 points 1 month ago

He has the wrong idea about Sadako?

[–] cholesterol@lemmy.world 5 points 1 month ago (1 children)

That's Johnny Depp in Nightmare on Elm Street, and he's actually wearing a crop top.

[–] FosterMolasses@leminal.space 1 points 1 month ago

Jesus christ

[–] Whats_your_reasoning@lemmy.world 5 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Came here wondering the same thing.

What is this image from? Is there context to explain his pants being open?

[–] Shorn@lemmy.world 15 points 1 month ago

It’s from the first nightmare on elm street movie, he’s trying to stay awake so Freddy doesn’t kill him.

[–] DJKJuicy@sh.itjust.works 14 points 1 month ago (1 children)

This kid most certainly did not get a good night's sleep.

[–] JamesBoeing737MAX@sopuli.xyz 3 points 1 month ago (1 children)

He did, but his children definitely never will.

[–] KoboldCoterie@pawb.social 14 points 1 month ago (2 children)

Before weighted blankets, we had...

[–] BanMe@lemmy.world 4 points 1 month ago

Amber Heard

[–] toofpic@lemmy.world 10 points 1 month ago (2 children)

Jokes aside, I didn't have a walkman for a while, so I was "sleeping" with a boombox under my blanket, with earbuds plugged in

[–] anomnom@sh.itjust.works 3 points 1 month ago

I used to use one of these with big 70s earphones with a 15 foot curly cord.

[–] jrwperformance@lemmy.world 8 points 1 month ago

A 60lb TV in a water-bed, no less!

[–] thisbenzingring@lemmy.today 4 points 1 month ago (1 children)

a nightmare on elm street, Johnny Depp us about to die in this scene

[–] Asfalttikyntaja@sopuli.xyz 1 points 1 month ago (2 children)

But he didn’t die, did he?

[–] DJKJuicy@sh.itjust.works 2 points 1 month ago

This scene got me so scared and I was sure Freddy was under my bed later that night and I went to my Mom's room and barfed on her from fear.

[–] thisbenzingring@lemmy.today 1 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Freddy pulls him into the bed and then he gets splattered off the ceiling

[–] Asfalttikyntaja@sopuli.xyz 3 points 1 month ago (1 children)

I don’t believe it, I have seen him on the other films after that.

[–] thisbenzingring@lemmy.today 2 points 1 month ago (1 children)

that's just a guy that looks like him

[–] Asfalttikyntaja@sopuli.xyz 2 points 1 month ago

Ah, yes. That explains it.

[–] Bazell@lemmy.zip 4 points 1 month ago

Minus legs on the next day.

[–] FosterMolasses@leminal.space 4 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Just told myself this morning as I was waking up "I have got to stop falling asleep with my heavyass laptop ontop of me. I'm gonna sprain my gall bladder or something at this point."

[–] protogen420@lemmy.blahaj.zone 1 points 1 month ago

gall blader spraining

[–] Wilco@lemmy.zip 3 points 1 month ago (1 children)

As an 80s kid I can confirm that seeing him with the TV laying on him like that was weird as hell, even back then. We had small 6 inch screen portable TVs that would have worked for the scene ... something like the one Depp is using would just go on a table beside the bad.

[–] UnimportantHuman@lemmy.ml 3 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Wait... Are we really old enough that we have to explain these things now???

[–] Wilco@lemmy.zip 2 points 1 month ago

Yea. I had to explain that they didn't have LED screens back then to my daughter and that is why TVs were so big. It broke her mind to learn that the blue (and thus white) LED came way after the Red and Green.
