So I'm 50/50 "Eyo where dem pixels at" and "literacy was clearly a mistake" so I dunno


DubiousTheatre

Just enough pixels to make out the words "catch his cum in his mouth"

Read the whole thing, wish op posted with lower quality (it's not even that bad, I've read worse on reddit in the last 5 minutes)

Just a crumb of pixels madam

PMmePowerRangerMemes

but who will lead us in the rebuilding process?


flytingnotfighting

Deffo not Norman Reedus apparently


oldmanbombin

Not me and KG. We don't have the cognitive capacity to lead.

I'd reply but there's a potato famine in Idaho I have to deal with.


PMmePowerRangerMemes

Thanks for taking care of that! I’ve got a bottle of wine with your name on it for when you get back

Dude, I went *all over* Idaho - plenty of potatoes everywhere, there was no famine.

where did the third image come from

I thought i was going insane because nobody was talking about it


poplarleaves

Yeah wtf is this random fake story about Norman Reedus?


No_Possession_5338

Fake?


SalvationSycamore

There's no way Norman Reedus would only catch his own cum 327 times


erasmause

Well, that was way back in highschool. I'm sure his stats are much more impressive now.


Novatash

It's litterally the next part of the post. That person actually just randomly shared that story on an unrelated skyrim post


greenwavelengths

And where the fuck did the fourth image come from


GgLiTcHeDd

the last one is a bot that takes all valid genomes in posts, and tries to match it with the closest possible creature. turns out that the random story matched with a soldier beetle


VioletTheWolf

Not a bot, a very cool human blogger

wow. i hope they at least have a script to get the string of letters


worker_ant_6646

JackieDaytona27

Big pixel. It's clearly propaganda trying to convince us to buy more pixels


yungdeathIillife

hey can you lower the resolution some more i can still kinda read the post


poopsemiofficial

honestly given the third image i second this.


evenman27

What the hell is this post. Why does it have 1k upvotes already? The first two screenshots are straight up lies, the next 2 are unreadable.

https://www.tumblr.com/sfwflot/49846339760/arrow-to-the-knee-as-old-norse-slang-a-tribute?source=share Sadly, there is no historical basis for the claim that “arrow to the knee” is actual slang, so this is not true. https://www.tumblr.com/hellsitegenetics/749228442233569280/commanderchrist-syristones-folie-a-tout?source=share Also heres the original post. -mx linux guy


KobKobold

Thank you, mx linux guy. I was afraid I'd have to be the one saying it.


one-and-five-nines

Yeah it didn't SOUND true 


NotAnOctopys

Somehow it wound up back at the “old ball and chain” type humor even though it isn’t true


lolguy12179

any time I see a post that says "OMG I FINALLY GET IT... THEY SAY 'DRINK YOUR SHITTLEFART' BECAUSE ITS A REFERENCE TO AN ANCIENT INDO EUROPEAN PROVERB IT ALL MAKES SENSE" it's never true


NotAnOctopys

Like the post that said “fuck” was a Black Death era acronym meaning “fornicating under consent of king” or “news” was an acronym for “new events, weather, and sports” and not yk, new stuff


lolguy12179

Makes it fun whenever you hear about a real one though, like when someone pointed out to me that it's called Breakfast because it's when you break fast, which I imagine is common knowledge but it blew my mind when I was 16


Hazeri

To misquote the Allusionist podcast, if you think a word is an acronym, it isn't The two outliers being laser and scuba


aftertheradar

also do we really trust bethesda to put accurate viking-era old norse slang calqued into english in their video game?


Red-7134

People told lies online?!


BakedBySunrise

You really think people would do that?


Tarasios

The quote is an in-game reference to the fact that they removed the "leg" armour slot. Oblivion has: helmet, gloves, boots, chest, and legs. Skyrim merged chest and legs into one item. So in Skyrim your knees aren't protected! That's it that's the origin.


DJ_McFunkalicious

Is there a source for this? It sounds like another thing that was thought of retroactively, I mean, yeah you can longer wear greaves separately, but all armour comes with leg protection. Even the guards have protected knees EDIT: It's a myth. >As part of Pagliarulo's creative process, he wrote idle lines of dialogue where the NPC guards would compliment the player character, comment on the player's current activities, or reminisce about their own lives.[3] For one of these lines, the guard would tell the player character, “I used to be an adventurer like you, then I took an arrow in the knee.”[1] It was an attempt by Pagliarulo to give the guards "flavor and personality", and that the idea of a "worn out fantasy beat cop" who is semi-retired felt like a "funny opportunity" for Pagliarulo that is somewhat believable.[4]


Verona_Swift

I mean, The Elder Scrolls are not beyond poking fun at themselves for their development decisions and bugs. They have [an entire character](https://en.uesp.net/wiki/Skyrim:M%27aiq_the_Liar) dedicated to just that.


DJ_McFunkalicious

True, there are plenty of references to the other games. This isn't one of them, though. See this quote from the Wikipedia page for "arrow in the knee": >As part of Pagliarulo's creative process, he wrote idle lines of dialogue where the NPC guards would compliment the player character, comment on the player's current activities, or reminisce about their own lives.[3] For one of these lines, the guard would tell the player character, “I used to be an adventurer like you, then I took an arrow in the knee.”[1] It was an attempt by Pagliarulo to give the guards "flavor and personality", and that the idea of a "worn out fantasy beat cop" who is semi-retired felt like a "funny opportunity" for Pagliarulo that is somewhat believable.[4]


Tarasios

It was MUCH more obvious before it was a meme lmao. This was from before the meme was a thing, I was a little fanboy. Very much not retroactive.


DJ_McFunkalicious

To be honest, it seems like a bit of a reach to me. I was also an oblivion fanboy and played Skyrim from day 1, granted I was like 12, but that connection never seemed obvious. Especially given what I mentioned before, there are no unguarded knees in the game unless you are forsworn or wearing fur armour. So at *most* it could be a reference to how, in Skyrim, you will often run into adventurers with no knee protection. I think it's more likely it was just a comedic throwaway line referencing a "sport injury" that would cause an adventurer to give up their career and take up guard duty, and it became a meme due to how often it was repeated by every guard in the province. I googled around to find something to support this idea, and all I found are some Reddit threads posing it as a possibility, with all the top comments saying "thats quite a reach". Some of them quote the Skyrim fandom wiki Easter eggs page as a source, but it can no longer be found on the list of Easter eggs, presumably because there's no source and it's pure conjecture. But hey, don't let my opinion stop you from believing something that makes you happy EDIT: Found an actual source from Bethesda on the matter from the "Arrow in the knee" Wikipedia page: >As part of Pagliarulo's creative process, he wrote idle lines of dialogue where the NPC guards would compliment the player character, comment on the player's current activities, or reminisce about their own lives.[3] For one of these lines, the guard would tell the player character, “I used to be an adventurer like you, then I took an arrow in the knee.”[1] It was an attempt by Pagliarulo to give the guards "flavor and personality", and that the idea of a "worn out fantasy beat cop" who is semi-retired felt like a "funny opportunity" for Pagliarulo that is somewhat believable.[4]


ligoten

Morrowind and Oblivion players may remember that there used to be a 'pauldron' (shoulder) armor slot that Oblivion referenced with a blacksmith called "The Missing Pauldron".


Yeah-But-Ironically

Well, your knees are protected if you wear *actual* armor (like even just the basic level 1 iron stuff). The outfits all the Stormcloaks and Imperial soldiers are in doesn't cover the whole leg, so it's really their own fault if they get shot there


ratzoneresident

I feel bad for all the imperial soldiers wearing leather short skirts while stationed in what is basically rural Scandinavia 


Mouse-Keyboard

Tumblr users love fake etymologies.


diegenauezeit

Thank you Mx. Linux Guy. I remember reading a story years ago that the line came from people intentionally shooting kneecaps since they shatter easily and are non-fatal, and doctors at the time would charge per bone fragment removed. Haven't done the research but this sounds like bull too. People are always gonna keep speculating about this line I guess


ArchivedGarden

That was from one of the old Game Theory videos (the really old ones), and proposed mostly as a comedic explanation as opposed to a real answer. Of course, I expect some people decided it was true because people are just like that.


CathleenTheFool

Yeah, half jokingly trying to extrapolate a realistic explanation for video game quirk is classic GT


paulet42

Thank you mx. Linux Guy but i fact-checked it myself first and then i saw your comment so I think it would have been better if you dmed me first to inform me of this


RealisticlyNecessary

I was just getting ready to hit up jastor or Google scholar, because I swore that old line was a lie, so thanks for saving me the trouble. Because I also don't think the fucking Nordic cultures of the iron and steel ages proposed like modern century Americans. Sometimes people don't think about the connection they think they're making.

King_Of_BlackMarsh

I mean "Ah, look at Halstead, he got shot in the knee (he's on his knee to propose to yigfrid)" seems like a reasonable way for guys to jeer their friends

Mystic_Fennekin_653

My dad used to quote "I used to be an adventurer like you, but then I took an arrow to the knee" all the time when I was younger and I thought it was from Lord of the Rings or something other fantasy or viking series but you're saying that phrase comes from ***SKYRIM?????!??!?!***  #MY DAD PLAYED SKYRIM?! Edit: Guys I'm 23, I'm not a child. 


TolokTamer

He was either into Skyrim or terribly online around 2011. That phrase was everywhere on memes and social media. Simpler times.


NickyTheRobot

Yeah, patrolling the internet in the early 2010s almost makes me wish for a nuclear winter.


Charybdeezhands

Why wouldn't he? I played it, and I still think of it as a relatively recent game.


apexodoggo

What’s crazy to me is that Skyrim’s only 2 years older than Frozen. I saw Frozen in theaters when it released and I always thought that that movie came way later than Skyrim, which has generally been around for the entirety of my online existence.


Khunter02

>Skyrim’s only 2 years older than Frozen What You know how 1 human year its equal to 7 dog years? That but with movies and videogames


Xszit

How can you be aware of skyrim while not knowing that the quote is from skyrim?


Complete-Worker3242

Yeah, that line is literally one of the most iconic parts of that game. It's like knowing about Star Wars but not knowing that "May the force be with you" is from it.

"We're gonna need a bigger boat" is from JAWS?!?!

I like to think they are getting shot in the knee though. In AC Odyssey there’s a mercenary named something like “Alexios the Knee Destroyer.” He used to have a partner in crime, but he got shot in the knee and he was forced to retire as a farmer. He was content, but Alexios was angry and wanted revenge. So instead of killing people, he went around shooting them in the knees, crippling them.

This post is a bot test - anyone in the comments who doesn't mention Norman Reedus cumming into his own mouth is a bot

The more you swipe, the more forbidden the knowledge becomes, your brain struggling to comprehend even the shapes of its writing.


nikstick22

If anyone even looked it up, they would find that it is not, in fact, an old scandinavian idiom. See [here](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arrow_in_the_knee#:~:text=%22I%20used%20to%20be%20an,and%20published%20by%20Bethesda%20Softworks.), it was written specifically for the game to make the guards feel more alive. And it has nothing to do with getting down on one knee. People really will just believe anything they read if it sounds cool to them.


DrLeisure

This isn’t true by the way: https://www.snopes.com/fact-check/took-arrow-knee-marriage/
