Rules (interactive)
Rule 1- All posts must begin with TIL. Linking to a source of info is optional, but highly recommended as it helps to spark discussion.

Rule 4- No self promotion or upvote-farming of any kind.
That's it.
Rule 5- No baiting or sealioning or promoting an agenda.
Posts and comments which, instead of being of an innocuous nature, are specifically intended (based on reports and in the opinion of our crack moderation team) to bait users into ideological wars on charged political topics will be removed and the authors warned - or banned - depending on severity.
Rule 6- Regarding non-TIL posts.
Provided it is about the community itself, you may post non-TIL posts using the [META] tag on your post title.
Rule 7- You can't harass or disturb other members.
If you vocally harass or discriminate against any individual member, you will be removed.
Likewise, if you are a member, sympathiser or a resemblant of a movement that is known to largely hate, mock, discriminate against, and/or want to take lives of a group of people, and you were provably vocal about your hate, then you will be banned on sight.
For further explanation, clarification and feedback about this rule, you may follow this link.

The fakest of all fake slaps.
Edit: Guys, it's Hollywood. He was sitting front row, nobody tried to stop him. Chris rock anticipated the slap. It was the most movie slap technique slap I've ever seen.
It was his good bye from Hollywood and he was forced to do it.
Not everything is a conspiracy, my guy.
I stand by this.
That's a no contact slap.
Weird that it's the Oscars but we don't see more camera angles and pictures of the slap, when the room is full of them.
Do you think the bum rushing Chapelle's stage was real too?
Do you think the Janet Jackson Nipple slip Was an accident?
Do you think security wouldn't do anything? Do they just let him attack an actor and do nothing? Not even say a thing? No breaks? No commercials?
Aren't the Oscars delayed anyways since Moore and others did political statements?
Come on, how gullible are you ?
Compare the slap to any real slap. Man there's even hundreds of better fake slaps out there. This was just weak and very obvious.
Has Will been sitting front row at any other event before?
Type more words, that'll make you right.
I am right in that case.
Pepsi and Coke are the same thing!
Wake up, sheeple!
Hollywood does Hollywood things. How does your comparison apply to this?
Please type more, this is great. What shap is the earth?
Hollywood does Hollywood things. How is that comparable to astromomy?
But hey, as long as you get your pleasure from gaslighting me.
Those ridiculous attacks shows your character very well
Bad boys 4 came out this year and it made bank.
It was already in production in 2022.
Yeah, and studios never cancel movies in production
I’ll go down with you:
The Kendrick / Drake beef is fake too and Kendrick’s music is shit. Stupid idiot Kendrick sounds like this when he opens his mouth:
If that was planned it was genius and very elaborate, way more than the slap, but I don't see any reasons it wouldn't be real, other than my conditioned mind that won't accept it because it seems too good, but that's a fool's errand that will make you stoop into any theory possible.
Some things would need too much planning and cooperation between large groups of people to make it feasible and not become public.
I mean, cudos if they planned to unite bloods and crisps against exploitation in music industry and made it work. Respect if Drake would be an agent to bring down the Mafia structures in the music industry.
But that's unbelievable, as if he could've just gathered material and not be the worst of them all.
They were so close of taking completely over and switching to AI music, why would they throw that power away for a message of unity and against the machine, harming the UMG bottom line?
So no, I don't agree with you. I would argue that's real, even if I would hope for it to being a ploy of some sort for entertainment purposes and to get blown away.
Sometimes the stars just allign.
I salute you for entering my sinking ship though! We need more people that take some risks in their comments.
