3-4 years ago, there was a period where melanated individuals were constantly approaching me in the street, trying to sell me various shoplifted and stolen goods. Mostly it was the usual shoplifted stuff, like wireless earbuds and other gas-station electronic products.

The only time I bought was when this random nig turned up with an absurd number (maybe 5 or 6) of those big capacity 33 gallon commercial-style trash cans, and I bought the whole lot for just a few dollars. He was exhausted from carrying them on foot, probably for miles, and they reeked terribly so they were probably stolen from a restaurant. But I left them outside to air out for a few weeks and they were as good as new. Still using them to this day. That day I happened to be planning to go out and buy some new commercial trash cans, so the nig was quite fortunate to run into me, but I do wonder what his plan was, walking around with those awkwardly bulky, reeking trash cans in the middle of the summer.

Another absurd encounter during that time was with a different nig who had a shopping cart with just a few items in it. There was basically just some empty boxes, an old printer, and a very battered copy of Microsoft Combat Flight Simulator for Windows XP, which completely baffled me as such an incongruous item for a guy who was otherwise always trying to sell stolen earbuds and cell phones. Was he reduced to stealing from the dumpster of a second-hand bookstore that day?

Around that time, nigs were also always approaching me to beg for a few dollars for bus fare with the same tired excuses of their car being broken down or needing to get to a job interview or whatever. I always told them to check this one stretch of sidewalk not half a block away where I knew for a fact that there was regularly at least $1.50 - $2.00 worth of quarters and nickels just lying on the ground, but that always pissed them off.

When I was dirt poor my first apartment was in an OK neighborhood in a terrible building. Half my neighbors were scumbags, the "super attendant" of the building used to smoke crack a lot and did like 15 years for attempted murder or something? The local nogs who hung out in our parking lot would try to sell me stolen booze stolen hard drives etc. This back when a basic bitch HDMI hard drive costed a lot more. I recall one time I passed without making polite conversation and the nog was offended I didn't want to buy a stolen bottle of Jack Daniels or something. Said something like "well fuck you, then".
 
Ok can someone explain the source of the smoke detector meme? Like how stupid can someone get? I understand it if a few idiots can’t figure it out, but I want to know how it became a meme.

I mean, my first time hearing the chirping, I was confused for a second because random noises tend to do that to people. Eventually I noticed where it was coming from and called maintenance because I wasn’t going to waste my money doing their job. (The smoke detector batteries weren’t replaced before I moved in.)
 
I want to know how it became a meme.
It became a meme when we all realized that we had noticed the same phenomenon.

The trigger for this realization was the recent development of apps for recording short videos using cell phones. Suddenly, we had lots of candid in-home videos, and that meant a lot more examples of black people ignoring the chirps.

For a while, there was a tiktok channel that collected them. It's either banned now, or the search engines are hiding it (they do that now - they conceal inconvenient truths). But I did find this example featuring MSNBC host Joy Reid: https://twitter.com/JackPosobiec/status/1669538149356433408

And this youtuber collected a number of examples:


As to why black people are seemingly more likely to ignore their smoke detector's low-battery warning, there are several theories: one is that they can't hear that particular frequency (dem wypipo tryna kill us by makin dah beeps we cain't hear).

It could also be that they are typically surrounded by a cacophany of noise - loud children, loud TVs, dogs barking, rap music playing, Shaniqua out in the parking lot keeping it real. Maybe they're just good at tuning stuff out.

Another theory is that they don't know what the beeping means. I once saw an example where a twitch streamer was told in chat that his smoke alarm was beeping. He replied, "that's not the smoke alarm, the hallways just beeps sometimes."

Try to imagine what it would be like to live in our society and have a very low IQ. You would just get used to the fact that much of your environment is hopelessly beyond your comprehension.

One final theory is that it's not in their nature to make small improvements to their surroundings. They simply don't go through life thinking, "I'll fix/improve this and then my life will be slightly better." Here's a meme:

As to why that might be the case for them - there's another theory that they don't process the concept of past and future the way we do. They live in a constant "now" - which is why scientific studies consistently find they have a very high time preference (though the mainstream explanation is poverty/socioeconomic circumstances lead to high time preference; nobody ever seems to consider that the causal chain is the other way around).

It also explains why they truly, honestly, no-shit believe they "didn't do nothin"

Modern smoke detectors are connected to the mains. They only need the battery as a backup. Thus, they keep beeping if you remove the battery

Ah, then it might be worse than we think. They know what it is, but don’t want to spend money on new batteries. They have willfully ignored the chirp for so long, it is part of their daily lives. No different than how someone can sleep soundly when the 2 AM train passes near their house. All part of the routine.
 
Negroes only hear a chirp periodically. So when the chirp goes away, they think “oh good, I don’t have to worry about it now” until the next half second chirp. They are too lazy to twist off the cover, swap out the battery, and twist the cover back on. If they have to get a small standing ladder? For a half second chirp? Sheeeit, they got more important things to do like lay around and eat Flaming Hot Cheetos.
It also explains why they truly, honestly, no-shit believe they "didn't do nothin"
When they say dindu nuffins, they mean “I dindu nuffins to you.” They can’t comprehend why you think it’s a bad thing that Shitvarious robs people at random. If you ever challenge them on this, they get pissy because they don’t know why you’re wasting their time talking to them about how their niggershines impacts others.

This is hindbrain behavior when they lived on a continent with plenty of food and life was meaningless. It’s why Africa is still just a bunch of warring tribes that never needed to plant anything more sophisticated than cassava root. It’s why they still just thrive off of 1950s colonial infrastructure except for whatever China has built. It’s why colonialism was ultimately a failure: there was never a chance the locals would be able to handle things. In 2124, Africa will still be Africa.
 
i don't think it matters how autistic a kid is when he's 9 years old and getting wailed on by a massive escaped gorilla


idk man have you ever met some of those tards? they can be annoying as fuck. i knew one hed lete off farts that literally smelled as if you took the shit and made lipstick out of it. it was uncanny. now that im thinking of it, even the worst one only deserves a headlock or something
 
It'll somehow never stop surprising me that so many niggers unironically think Wakanda is real. They go to these movies and can somehow acknowledge that Ironman, Hulk etc are just made up characters that don't exist but then turn around and honestly believe Wakanda exists. I'm guessing because niggers made it? That's the only reason I can think of.

I can't believe you wrote an ESSAY on why a beeping smoke detector is a anti-Black meme.

It reminds me of how people don't know how to program the VCR clock.
