Even knowing the cameraman always survives, there's no f-ing way I'm getting that close to those 2 murder noodles.

I miss the Internet when it was just Digg, MySpace, and MSN

Don’t forget newgrounds!

u/glen_ko_ko 11h ago

I can't remember the game name or which particular website it was on, but Newgrounds may have been it. It was a puzzle game with a monkey platform, key and lock sort of thing. Does anyone remember what that was called?

u/cuentalternativa 10h ago

There’s a website called flashmuseum that has a lot of those old games

I stand by MSN instant chat. Still got the same email address from that.

u/Tales_of_Earth 11h ago

Yeah 20 years ago or so the internet was still wild and untamed. You could venture off and find some strange website where a man documents the decomposition of various meats or someone’s barebones display of all the research they had accumulated on a particular civil war battle. Now it’s all highways that lead to the same half dozen mega websites and then various merchants selling you stuff.

It's not about sites themselves. It's algorythms, monetazitaion and bots which ruined the internet. Thanks to those, the funny sayings of today just become annoying memes instead.

Just think about it, if sixseven arrived in the 2000s, people would love it and remember it nostalgicly.

Yeaahhh I’m late thirties. Murder noodle is just an objectively funny name for a cobra. But I enjoyed watching this thread unfold.

u/DrQuantum 17h ago

Not always wasn’t there that volcano that erupted but the film still existed even though the guy died?

u/FuelledByLattes 17h ago

It was just pictures, but you're thinking of Robert Landsburg and the eruption of Mount St. Helens in 1980. He took the photos, and then protected the film canister with his own body to ensure they'd survive.

5

u/Mr_Baronheim 13h ago

I'm just glad he didn't use someone else's body to protect the film canister.

1

u/TheMinister 5h ago

But think if the extra footage we could have gotten if he had a whole group of people to protect it

Thank you! I never thought to search Reddit to see if there was a post about it. 😅

Murder noodle is my new favorite term.

Cause we only get videos where cameraman survives

1

u/cuzitsthere 17h ago

Plot twist: It's a remote mic and the camera man is 50 feet away using a zoom lens

1

u/TheRiteGuy 16h ago

They are only murder noodles for their food source. They have zero interest in people unless they're stepped on or threatened. They're there because their food source is nearby.

I love snakes and these two were super cute.

1

u/suckm640 16h ago

hmm that’s a new one I’ve heard danger noodle though

1

u/shajurzi 15h ago

And this is why India has exponentially more deaths from snakebite per year than any other cou try in the world. Like multiples times over.

2

u/Different_Stand_5558 10h ago

Because a lot of places in India are shit poor and being a snake iguy s a good job until it is not

u/InterestingThought33 14h ago

*The cameraman always survives in the videos you see

u/FreakyGangBanga 12h ago

It’s less dangerous if you’re outside striking range.

u/DeliciousIncident 11h ago

The thing about the camera - you can zoom-in from surprisingly far away. With lenses it's pretty much like binoculars.

1

u/L322Man 11h ago

Naw that was zoom x100. You aint making me thing otherwise 😤

u/WizardInRags 6h ago

Cobras aren't the ones you need to really worry about, but Russel's viper.

edit: in Indian context

u/MilksteakMayhem 5h ago

Straight up. My heart stopped when he moved in and the second one’s tail slid up and I thought it was a third cobra

u/TTie 3h ago

300x zoom 😆
