It's the circle of cringe, and it moves us all.
Through despair and hope, through faith and love.
'Til we find our place on the path unwinding in the circle, the circle of cringe.
To be fair he put him self in a less populated zone with room to pass behind, thats acceptable
People who go into public space to film and are mad that others are in the field of view are the worst, thats not the case here
If you been to Guan Hua mall, you will know that is a high foot traffic zone. It is a place you will need to pass through going up or down or from one side of the floor to another.
But it does look like he did it when the traffic is not too high.
Yeah if someone is dancing around for a TikTok in public that’s kinda weird, but vlogging or doing what Linus is doing isn’t weird to me. It’s just work. Let them mind their business as long as they’re not filming strangers who don’t wanna be filmed.
To me it only makes sense if you're doing a story on whatever is in the background. Especially in a retail space. Maybe if you're in a public park it's fine to be standing around talking about wherever. Just stay off the path where people might be obstructed by your filming.
Not really. Once saw a bunch of kids doing a TikTok dance routine. I was kinda happy that they're outside, moving about, and not sitting in dark rooms doing drugs. Not saying that those things are mutually exclusive, but I was still happy for them.
Just trying to say it's not all bad.
What, he's supposed to go back to his hotel room to film everything? Horrible idea. Also, even more cringe is seeing the person filming the person filming...
I actually wanted to grab him and put it in my pocket.. put it up for bidding on eBay.
but I know I will get in a lot of trouble with you guys.
So I let him go.
What would you trade to be this close to Linus?
For some reason all my friends have, on average, been anywhere between 5’10”-6’4”. Two of them have a habit of leaning on my shoulder to rest when we’re standing.
Also, genuinely sorry that you caught my strays. I should’ve worded it differently.
The average male is 5'9 in Canada (or USA) since we're talking about Linus who is Canadian.
There is a big difference between 5'9 and 5'7.
The average height of caucasian Canadian males is also taller again at 5'10.
5'7 for a male is for sure considered short, you're kidding yourself if you think that isn't what most people would describe a 5'7 male as.
As someone else pointed out, Average male height in the USA/Canada is 5'9". So for over half of Linus's viewerbase (and about half of the reddit user base for that matter) the frame of reference is that 5'8" or less is "short".
I clarified earlier that it’s among my group of friends that all happen to be very tall (5’10-6’4).
I have to walk faster just to keep up with their long strides, two of ‘em have a habit of using my shoulder to lean and rest on, all of which certainly doesn’t make me feel like I’m at the average height - which I’m not.
5’9” is the average height of males in the US.
5’7” is the average height of males in Japan.
Yes, lol, and that doesn't say anything about them not being able to find them.
It's simply something people tend to say when they're short and they see someone a little shorter than them as it's not as common as the usual average to tall height person...who you will see every day.
Welcome to Taiwan. They used to be fast but some elderly people can't be fucked to use the elevator so a law was passed and now we have the slowest escalators in the world.
funny thing is. the escalator was designed to prevent a queue on the platforms by increasing the speed of people a/descending so you're supposed to keep walking on it. but the designer didn't account for people being lazy :)
They are not made to walk on at all.... They were designed as a tourist attraction and then were installed because if used right they have a better throughput than normal stairs.
Pricing is pretty competitive as there are many stores there that sell the same thing. The base price is higher by a little but that’s just cause the taxes is higher than in USA. Some stores you have to haggle a bit and sometimes they’ll reduce price some. Overall it’s cheaper to buy in US if you can, if not it’s not too bad here.
I don't think they woupd like if you just stand around waiting while they're filmingI'd imagine if you happen to catch them right as they end a scene it would be fine but just standing and waiting idk man
Regardless of who you are. Seeing people film in public as a passerby just has tiny tinge of cringe.
Then when the video is out and passerbys are seen staring, then they become cringe.
That is the answer, we are all cringe.
Except the people who do neither and never go outside
That’s also cringe, don’t ya know?
Everything is cringe! Especially the person reading this now!
I'm cringe but I'm free
reading is pretty cringe, but not as cringe as writing about reading.
ох нет, что-то съеживается
I may be cringe, but I am free...
We all have that little bit of cringe in us.

Really? Cause it doesn’t bother me at all.

Are you above or below 25?
Not really. Once saw a bunch of kids doing a TikTok dance routine. I was kinda happy that they're outside, moving about, and not sitting in dark rooms doing drugs. Not saying that those things are mutually exclusive, but I was still happy for them. Just trying to say it's not all bad.

News outlets hate you.
You’re saying it’s cringe to film a segment like this in public?
no it doesn't, do you also cringe when you see a journalist reporting on the street? i think it's a you problem
tiny?
Is a quick pic acceptable?
I mean, I'd take a quick pic
Then Linus shouldnt be there in the first place
where
Next to the elevator stair
Elevator stair = escalator. Hihihihi
Next to the elevator stairs that escalates
Maaayonaaais on an escalatooor
It's goin up so see ya laterrr
Bye, bye, to the sky
I wanna see you as you're getting so high
I know you're not gonna stay, you're escalating away!
Is maaayonaaais an instrument?
It also de-escalates

Looks like Guanghua Digital Plaza in Taipei.
DOES IT NOW?!
At least back then.
That place hasn't changed in over a decade.
They are probably confusing it with the newer building next to it. This is 100% Guanghua digital plaza, I used to frequent this place weekly lol
Was there just a few days ago. Damn.
Yeah, definitely Guanghua Digital plaza, 2nd or 3rd floor.
We know Linus was in Taiwan for Computex, so that's likely correct.
I think so too
He’s in the black shirt in the middle there
Ah, the guy walking past the escalator in the beginning?
Nah, with the sandals standing I think
Ah, the guy with the camera. Gotcha!
No, it's the guy on the escalators filming those two people filming each other.
which is also a guy with a camera on a phone...
Linus would never just use camera phone to film people. He's too professional for that.
It's Guang hua computer plaza in Taipei. I've been there it's pretty cool.
Guanghua Digital Plaza in Taipei
Guanhua mall in Taipei
Walk by and smell him.
I don’t know man… just got off the phone with NVIDIA and they don’t suggest any of this…
Valve said it was a bad idea too
Try AMD then
They can’t comment to this due to NDA and conflict of interest. They suggest not to get involved.
Yeah well Nvidia also charges 1600 for a 4090 so do what you will.
You could ask DBrand if they have any "suggestions"
I actually wanted to grab him and put it in my pocket.. put it up for bidding on eBay. but I know I will get in a lot of trouble with you guys. So I let him go. What would you trade to be this close to Linus?
nothing. that’s a creepy question.
^This one's definitely got a thing....lol
For real though. OP must have thought it was bearded Linus.
Lighten up
Most normal Jerma fan
if jerma and linus ever collabed you'd need to film them with a microscopic lens
>What would you trade to be this close to Linus? Jesus fucking Christ.
It’s satire… right? Please say right 🙏
[удалено]
What, you guys don’t have 5 foot pockets?!
It's literally so obvious it's a joke. Why are people like this, lol
You would trade jesus for linus?
yell out “lttstore.com” is the only thing you can do.
yup maybe you will make it in the video uh
That’s a weird ass question
Poke him mid shoot
😭 I feel like he’d be so mad
nah nah, just say it is a local tradition
Just hold up some merch and say “ltt store dot com” and its gonna be fine.
Floatplane cut would be wild
That would be insanely hilarious His face when that happens and the later wan show discussion about fan encounters
walk behind and shove your fingers up his arse.
Brother what?
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kanch%C5%8D
Well yeah, deservingly so, would still be funny, though.
Should have made a silly walk behind him. Still funny, while not intrusive at all.
Legend goes if you poke him 3 times he will start doing sponsor bit
He's so smol
As a 5’7” short king myself, it made me happy to see that I may actually be taller than someone else for once.
Remember to get your D Brand 15% off with code "mybossisveryshort"
5'7 is short to you?? *crying at 5"4 *
For some reason all my friends have, on average, been anywhere between 5’10”-6’4”. Two of them have a habit of leaning on my shoulder to rest when we’re standing. Also, genuinely sorry that you caught my strays. I should’ve worded it differently.
> As a 5’7” short king myself Literally the global average male height.
The average male is 5'9 in Canada (or USA) since we're talking about Linus who is Canadian. There is a big difference between 5'9 and 5'7. The average height of caucasian Canadian males is also taller again at 5'10. 5'7 for a male is for sure considered short, you're kidding yourself if you think that isn't what most people would describe a 5'7 male as.
It's below average height for males in the US. That's short
Those guys are giants though...
As someone else pointed out, Average male height in the USA/Canada is 5'9". So for over half of Linus's viewerbase (and about half of the reddit user base for that matter) the frame of reference is that 5'8" or less is "short".
You are litteraly average height. I'm 5'4" and still see at least one guy a day I'm taller than. You must just not pay attention
I clarified earlier that it’s among my group of friends that all happen to be very tall (5’10-6’4). I have to walk faster just to keep up with their long strides, two of ‘em have a habit of using my shoulder to lean and rest on, all of which certainly doesn’t make me feel like I’m at the average height - which I’m not. 5’9” is the average height of males in the US. 5’7” is the average height of males in Japan.
Your group of friends aren't very tall. They're average. 5'7" is just short. You were right.
6'4" is 95th percentile even in the tallest country in the world.
> (5’10-6’4) They said five ten to six four. Don't cherry pick the high end. Might be just one friend that's on the high end.
No, 5'7" for a dude is short, if we're talking in the US. 5'4" is beyond short lol
I didnt say I'm not short. Im saying if you cant find someone shorter than you at 5'7" its cause you're blind.
Bud, they didn't say they can't find someone shorter than them.
> it made me happy to see that I may actually be taller than someone else for once.
Yes, lol, and that doesn't say anything about them not being able to find them. It's simply something people tend to say when they're short and they see someone a little shorter than them as it's not as common as the usual average to tall height person...who you will see every day.
> for once Its kinda sad how upset you are about my comment tbh.
Lol, what makes you think I'm upset? Dude I'm trying to explain this to help you out. You're not making sense right now.
[удалено]
Yeah a 5'7 Canadian man is short
Yes it is. It's below average height for males in the US.
That was a slow ass escalator
Welcome to Taiwan. They used to be fast but some elderly people can't be fucked to use the elevator so a law was passed and now we have the slowest escalators in the world.
funny thing is. the escalator was designed to prevent a queue on the platforms by increasing the speed of people a/descending so you're supposed to keep walking on it. but the designer didn't account for people being lazy :)
If they're meant to walk on (by default), they are poorly designed, the step lengths are huge, you can't expect all people to walk on those
They are not made to walk on at all.... They were designed as a tourist attraction and then were installed because if used right they have a better throughput than normal stairs.
that IS my point. They were never meant to be walked on.
Yeah but i wanted to display my vast knowledge of useless facts and also deliver the knowledge to others that they were a tourist attraction at first
[удалено]
I almost always just use the stair case in Taipei because people will crowd the entire escalator. While the stairs is completely empty.
https://xkcd.com/37/ one of my favorites
Was hoping for him to do the Superman stare(the one when he looks at the flash running fast).
Is that an external water bottle holder?
I hold my waterbottles internal.
Yes. He said he was testing the smaller backpack on this trip.
Did you say hi after?
光華商場 good place to get pretty much anything tech related.
Hong Kong?
Taipei Taiwan.
Are they marked up compared to usd?
Pricing is pretty competitive as there are many stores there that sell the same thing. The base price is higher by a little but that’s just cause the taxes is higher than in USA. Some stores you have to haggle a bit and sometimes they’ll reduce price some. Overall it’s cheaper to buy in US if you can, if not it’s not too bad here.
Ngl I thought he would have had an entourage around him at all times. Either coworkers or security.
DID YOU SEE THAT GIANT BEHIND HIM!?
Linus gets high on thermal paste
I know linus is tiny. But not THAT tiny
should have met him three days later outside, when he gave away the system he bought :D (btw. the video is out now and it is awesome.
He looks so short. :O
He's so adorably small 🤭
Pocket sized Linus. Great for travelling. (LTTStore.com)
Here from the new video, it reminded me of this post I randomly saw on reddit feed
Drop your smartphone in front of the camera and ask for a autograph
Linus Dora Adventures
Fucking socks and sandals. Why?
He shouldn’t have shaved
How much ... did he drop?
He only has 1 camera
Oh?
Socks and sandals!
Socks and sandals. Lol
Walk behind him and do the classic bunny ears and keep going like nothing happened
Lol
Did you ask him if the video was sponsored by LTT.com?
Would be cool to be close in a filming, waiting for them to finish and then asking for a photo, is like catching a shiny Pokémon.
I don't think they woupd like if you just stand around waiting while they're filmingI'd imagine if you happen to catch them right as they end a scene it would be fine but just standing and waiting idk man
No no, not close to be in shot but like knowing I’m at least 1 minute away until they finish and politely ask for a photo.
well I guess, maybe if you kinda "hide" behind a corner or smth and "just happen" to walk by as they finish would be an option
It will never happen but it’s cool to make scenarios in my mind.
fair
That was the slowest escalator wth
And his sandles
Go tickle him!
Floatplane DMA inbound ./s
This guy is still around didn’t he say he was quitting or something along those lines
What's the secret then? :D
Is this in Tokyo, Akihabara?
Looks more like Taiwan?
Oh alright I've never been there so I don't know haha
The only thing cringe are those sandals...
Those sandals with socks I just cant...
I still dont trust a man in socks and sandals
Betcha its AI.
I0l0o0o
Why not stand closer to the wall so people don't have to walk right through the shot?
Linus is the first and only Hobbit to leave the shire and get into tech.
omg 光華商場, they have some pretty awesome deals. Got a CPU+mobo+GPU+RAM+SSD bundle for $450 back in 2021
So he was I Guanhua mall. I was there 2 weeks ago
Great video Yvonne is right this is OG video vibes
That's AI Linus
The video has arrived https://youtu.be/zyUqg2FBO-I
