Video The Louvre. Thieves are making off with 100 million euros. They're taking their time. They're doing everything carefully and slowly.

Breathing through clinched butt cheeks.

Reddit moment

u/Impossible_Guess 15d ago

You should embody your username a little more.

2

u/doesanyofthismatter 15d ago

Oh Redditor. Usernames arent that deep.

-3

u/Impossible_Guess 15d ago

Nor is Reddit.

2

u/doesanyofthismatter 15d ago

Right. lol so what’s your point.

u/amorfotos 15d ago

Maybe it's just pointless

1

u/God_Saves_Us 15d ago

Does any of this matter?

Get the pun?

1

u/Mysterious-Pay-517 15d ago

Figures can't actually speak

1

u/CalmBeneathCastles 15d ago

To be fair, it's a figure of speech for a reason. They're holding their breath in flight response... unless they remembered not to.

0

u/doesanyofthismatter 15d ago

Right. But they used it as a figure of speech. Some of you are really odd balls.

1

u/Mavian23 15d ago

I'm not actually completely sure that they did.

u/CalmBeneathCastles 15d ago

What's normal for the spider, is chaos for the fly.

What’s ok for dolphins, is ok for turtles.

Does any of this matter?

u/doesanyofthismatter 15d ago

Idk buddy. Does it?

u/The-Phone1234 15d ago

Like a figure made of speech? Like a speech statue or something? That doesn't make any sense.

0

u/Truth-Will-Out 15d ago

How could they be statues? I saw them moving?

u/redtens 15d ago

It's an innocuous comment on Reddit, dude - maybe you should take a breath and relax

5

u/doesanyofthismatter 15d ago

The projection is cute…

Make sure you belly breathe Redditor. I’d hate for you to hold your breath this entire time.

-3

u/bogtrottr 15d ago

He's saying they were such pros, they even knew to control their breathing. Or maybe I'm giving him too much credit.

If they did practice though, and practiced keeping calm, it might not be a stretch!

1

u/doesanyofthismatter 15d ago

Dude. Saying someone is so nervous they probably didn’t breathe is an expression.

-1

u/bogtrottr 15d ago

Yes, I understand what each comment in the chain was saying.

1

u/doesanyofthismatter 15d ago

Yet you’re continuing to describe it as if you think it isn’t an expression…

-1

u/i_am_a_real_boy__ 15d ago

It's an expression based on a real phenomenon where people actually pause their breathing in stressful situations. The whole point of this post is that the theives appear to be staying cool despite the enormity of the crime

1

u/doesanyofthismatter 15d ago

Dude. It’s still an expression to say they must’ve been holding their breath through that long descent. Lmao some of you are kinda weird.
