Can we appreciate how good this channel is compared to other reddit channels. The voice isn't some random AI, the stories and prompts are actually interesting and the narrator actually gives his own input which makes it more human.
Undersparked, mainly facts, Rslash, Vincey, and mattrose is some of The best ones.
the design is very human
@@Randombookwoorm I only hava a bit of an issue with Rslash tendancy to notoriously bad takes, which at this point I'm convinced he has on purpose to get more comments.
@@xegin1572 yes i have personally stopped watching him because of this, he seems to take it a step to far,but i dont know how he is now, i might revisit his channel soon.
Yes! This is 1 of 2 channels that read Reddit stories because they’re humans reading and not AI. I hate the AI voices and mispronunciation.
"Your honor, Free Bird was playing."
Understandable tbh
Case dismissed
Story 7 is an example of "Never interrupt your enemy while he's making a mistake." Who knows? He may confess to more crimes than DUI during his rant.
140mph and he only got 2pts against his license?? In my state going double the speed limit is automatic lose your license.. 30mph over speed limit is 4pts against license.. I think that guy off easy: he'll I lost 2 dang point for not coming to a full stop at a stop sign; even though it was a 3 way stop and was wide open, where you could clearly see both turns at least 1/4 mile..
I mean if the product is something hand made it’s not surprising if money is spent on materials but that needs to be discussed and you can’t go and spend that money on other things
My dad was a contractor for several years. You definitely talk about that up front. Every bid he gave to a potential client had a detailed material cost list with it to show just how much would be going to just getting the materials to build their project.
But I think this story was more of a E-Bay business. Where you purchase the item from the person and they ship it to you. My Wife does this on the side and you are supposed to already have items you are selling. I think this guy's problem was he was buying the item off some one else, marking up the price and selling it to another. He over sold and spent the money on something else, so now couldn't buy the item to ship to his client.
Not just made by hand even stuff made in factories is like that.
It's called "just in time" manufacturing, it was popularized by Toyota a few decades ago and up until the chip shortage during pandemic, it was the go to business model for most companies.
Almost every item purchased doesn't exist at the original sale time, and the companies selling them don't yet own the raw materials either.
That's something done by contractors and people who do commissions. It's something talked about, usually on a texting app for proof. It'd be impossible to defend this dude.
When I was 18 I took my car to a mechanic who ran a small auto shop. The total bill was going to be $3,000 and I gave him half upfront so he didnt have to pay for the parts. THREE MONTHS LATER after ghosting me, he calls at 7am and tells me he wont be able to work on my car unless I give the remaining balance. Said he had used the money I had given him to pay his bills. 😑
@tengonadacluewhatsgutsprec1419 This works for large companies like Toyota, who are receiving regular orders for products and placing regular orders for materials, and whose funds basically go into one big pot, but it really doesn't work for smaller businesses who don't have the profit margins to support this model or surplus funds to hand to purchase materials for existing orders if they hit a slow quarter.
my dog stepped on a bee
It's true I was the bee.
@@UnderSparked my bee stepped on a dog
@@MaxwellCatAlphonk i stepped on a dog's bee
oh shit
He had a mega pint of wine
Story 4: Wow, that guy was an idiot on *so* many levels. The judge was about to let him go and yet, he had to open his mouth and brag about how he drives fast all the time. To quote George Takai, “You are made of stupid.”
*Takei
"Your honor, I'm only human after all. Don't put the blame on me."
I was in traffic court, the woman before me told some story about being chased and that’s why she was driving over 100 mph. The judge said, that’s the same story you’ve told the last 3 times you’ve been to court. She got the largest sentence possible and had her license revoked for years. When it was my turn I just pled guilty. It was my first ticket so he gave me the lightest sentence and thanked me for not lying and making up a story lol.
Story 8. Those guys in lock up would rat out anybody to get off or even just a lighter sentence. They don't know and certainly don't care about you.
I said this on another thread, but basically a guy got charged by a bull when he tried to cut across a neighbor's land. When he tried to sue for damages but got countersued for trespass, he defense was that he didn't know there were cows on the land.
Story 1: this is actually how dropshipping works, but it's usually automatised, so it's easier to manage and subsquently this kind of issue typically cannot happen.
I mean, technically taking someone's money to order the product is pretty much how drop shipping works, but usually you immediately order the product to be sent out as soon as you get the original order.
I'm assuming this is probably somebody who got in on one of those drop shipping scam courses and didn't realize that it wasn't nearly as profitable as it told them it would be.
In fact, the ordering process is usually fully automated so this kind of issue don't even have a chance to arise...
I used to be a misdemeanor prosecutor and a court attorney in traffic court. People absolutely do try to haggle their fines. My dudes, that's statutory, it's not going to happen. Have also seen people miss their case because they were out smoking, moving their car, using the bathroom, etc. Most ridiculous I can remember was a man who claimed he had no idea he had a ticket, never heard about it, had no idea, definitely not him, etc. He was shown the ticket and asked if that was his signature on it. He said it "appeared to be a very clever forgery."
One of the smartest things people can do is learn how to keep their mouths SHUT! I've heard cops say the same thing. Just answer the questions without adding anything. On the other hand I one received a ticket for entering a one-way alley. I told the judge that the one-way sign had been painted over by city workers. The judge said they would check on it. A few days later I received a dismissal in the mail. A couple of days later there was a very nice ÖNE - WAY, DO NOT ENTER" painted sign. Whew!
Not at court, but as an expert witness in a case involving child pornography (as a CompSci prof). The defense was that the data on the hard drive really wasn't porn because they really were just ones and zeros. I was taken by surprise by the argument, but said that while that was true that they were ones and zeros, they weren't random. I could run any number of applications on them and get junk. But to run a program and "accidently" get child porn, not once, but many such images was so infinitesimally small that mathematically it would zero chance. It was child porn. The guy (an officer in the military) was convicted, dishonorable discharged, and spent many years in jail.
I had traffic court a month ago and a woman showed up in a Chevy racing hoodie with flames up the sleeves for... going 110 in a 65. She tried to say she was following the speed of traffic. The cop was like "Judge, it was 1:30 AM and there was one other car on the road." Needless to say, she did not win her case.
Honorable mention from the same day: "Your honor, my client wants everyone to know that the car that was totaled in this accident (which she caused) was her beloved Honda Civic, she really loved that car and put a lot of work into it."
I understand the reason 'banging' is used as an alternative word, but perhaps find another alternative when the story is about intimate assault?
It just felt a bit *off*, given the context.
I heard you mention this in another video but you said right after a particular tear jerking segment how "see! isn't it so much better when an actual human reads these stories" and tbh I didn't think much of it at first UNTIL I binged your videos for a while than autoplay skipped toa TTS R/ channel and I immediately realized what you meant and before finding your channel I would've said you're full of crap because the other couple channels with real narrators kind of suck so you def stand out man, keep it up! 10/10
Story 1:
This really depends on the thing they are shipping.
If it's just a generic item, this is just a bad version of drop shipping.
If it's something specialized, then he shouldn't extract from the business if it's clearly not doing well. This way can work, but generally you want to pay for the product of Customer C with the revenue of A and B.
Story 13: Dang, that's kinda crazy assignment to defend that
For that last story, there are unfair biases between men and women in custody cases. It usually comes about because people tend to think that men are more aggressive. When I took a course in psychology (for some science credits) I learned that men and women are actually equally aggressive. Men tend to be more so physically, women more so socially (it's not a hard and fast rule and there are always exceptions). So, what often happens is that the bad wife, let's call her, will manipulate people to think that the person of her aggression, the husband, is that bad person and ruin his reputation, etc. That's why I personally don't agree with the whole "believe all women" sentiment. I would say take it seriously, yes, and report the issue. But, don't just automatically assume guilt. One of the principles of the legal system, or it's supposed to be anyways, is innocent until proven guilty (with the added part "beyond a reasonable doubt.")
1:55 Digging your heels in… to the mud? I have no idea if that’s an actual saying but it works.
Digging your heels in is a saying for someone being stubborn and refusing to budge.
That's pretty clever, I like it
I love how there was a pic of Amber Turd at the beginning 😂
I work at an auction house and one of our customers has an ebay account with pictures of our stock on it. When he sells something he buys it from us. Then he panics when someone buys an item on Monday and the next auction for that item is on Friday and tries to wheel and deal with the owners to buy it sooner.
Or someone else wins all of something just when he needs it, or the vendor asks for his stock back. That's always a fun conversation.
It has been my observation that the only thing smokers care about is their next smoke. They don't care if it bothers others. They don't care if someone has to come by latter to pick up the tossed butt. They don't care if there's an important event that they missed.
I can imagine how that city lawyer felt when those cops showed up dressed like that. When I was serving grand jury duty, cops didn't always show up in uniform, but they were decently dressed, and that was just to sit in a conference room and give testimony without a judge present. How they thought it was a good idea to wander into court like that is beyond me.
A friend of mine was in a car accident. Driving to work before dawn and at an intersection with a lady with her lights on high. He's got the green turn arrow so he starts to take the turn, when the lady across takes off and rams into him. At trial her argument was I had my lights on so he could see me. He should have known I was going to run a red light and have yielded to me.
Story 11:
His defence could have been valid, were he not himself.
If he had gone with "She tried grabbing my gun repeatedly, so trying to get her off of me I shoved her back a bit, so I could get my bearings. She stumbled backwards through the door and down the stairs. I couldn't have known, I was just trying to prevent an accident. I didn't want to hurt her, i just needed her to stop. She didn't listen to me telling her.
Another group of stories I've heard 3 times already, many years ago
Then move on
1:32 140 what? kilometers per hour? miles per hour? kilomiles per hour?
Boffum
probably 140 mph. These are Reddit stories, so most people are American. Also 140 kph is 87 mph. That's breaking speed limit everywhere but I wouldn't call it a "crazy speed" if its on a highway.
87mph is 12 miles above the highest highway speed I've seen
I think a sizeable chunk of people go 90mph on that highway
Probably MPH, I'm American, so I recognize Americans talking.

Being paid to buy a product and then sell it to the customer afterwards is called drop-shipping and it's total bullshit - but unfortunately it is a legitimate business provided the seller actually follows through with it. I buy model trains and other hobby stuff on eBay since it's cheaper and you can generally find better availability, and if the seller doesn't have a photo they took themselves of the product they're selling, I'll ask if they actually have the product in stock before even considering making a purchase.
Story 11: not defending the guy involved, just going to push back on your assumptions. There are few things that would ever get me to strike a family member, particularly my wife or child. Up near the top of that list, though, is mishandling of a firearm. I don’t have time to let you figure it out and “slowly come to reason” if you’re mishandling it.
Now, based on the way it’s written, this sounds far more like he went apeshit over the wife touching his things, not mishandling a firearm. However, if someone is being dangerous with a firearm, particularly a firearm that I am responsible for, I’m going to do everything in my power to keep them from harming someone or themselves.
I worked a case in which, according to the suspect, he went to an apartment to see his girlfriend, who turned out wasn't there. The defendant says her roommate, another female, came on to him and propositioned him. He, being a virtuous young gentleman, turned her down. The roommate got so angry she grabbed up a kitchen knife and ran at him, swinging in. He defended himself and took the knife away from her----and she promptly, overcome with lust, ran into it. This didn't explain why all her clothes (except one sock) were flung around the room, her false teeth and wig were on the floor, and he had HER blood inside his pants. The DA had a further take: Seventeen times, front AND back??? She must have had a terrible sense of direction!!! Another case, a perp defending himself, went to cross-examine the purse snatching victim: Did you get a good look at my face when I took your purse?
In Story #9, I’m guessing he knew he was going to be convicted and only had the trial so he could taunt his victim. People who commit that sort of crime are often motivated by getting some sort of power trip out of hurting others, not merely by lust as you might expect.
Story 19 has an adorable end
Business does work like that, but as far as I know, they buy the products (or make them) before customers make the purchase.
One who acts as his own attorney has a fool for a client
Real gun: There is a case you can find on the internet in which a man was on trial for murder, and his attorney made the argument that the victim shot himself. To argue it, the attorney picked up the evidence gun and demonstrated he could position the gun and pulled the trigger, killing himself. The defendant was found Not Guilty... Recently in the news: A man was charged with sexually assaulting a woman in a dressing room at a store. Claims that was bull--she wasn't his type at all. Shown a picture with himself and a woman in it. He confused the victim for his ex-wife. Guess who?
Didn’t that attorney get a Darwin Award for removing himself from the gene pool?
No--but the second has lost 88 million dollars so far!@@Gunnergamingyt2
Come on, we don't want to see Trump on numbers 10 to 1... At least give us a few dishonorable mentions...😂😂😂
Not in court but "SHE SAID SHE WAS 12 🤓🤓🤓"
"Your honor, it is the victim's boyfriend's fault for not protecting the victim from my clients. As you know it is the responsibility of the man to protect the woman"
Actual argument from defense attorney of 4 murderers in India
Story 12 has my mind blown - how he doesn’t see this as inappropriate
Worst defence I saw was Daryll Brooks' trial
"I can do anything I want because I'm president" -donald Trump
Story 12…no no NO!
Yes, business sometimes works like that. Not always.
You can also take money to invent something that doesn't exist yet. Like the guy who became a billionaire for trying to invent trucks running on water.
They are sueing him now, but he lived in a giant mansion for 10 years now and he is still in there.
Yo UnderSparked commenters and employees, how are you today? Idk abt you but I feel like shit :)
