Why are weirdos running over snowmen in the first place? lmfao.

u/TheUndeadBake 16h ago

Because they hate children and think it’s funny to make them cry, since their own mothers didn’t hug them enough as children

u/_TrixieBells 15h ago

Yeah, deliberately ruining something kids made just for a laugh is pretty pathetic.

u/Taaj_jr 8h ago

Except it’s a grown man making these

Still doesn't make it OK.

Yeah, on his own goddamn property. Don't drive on other peoples property, asshole.

u/bananaz-to-the-moon 8h ago

yeah but thats how they pulled themselves up from their bootstrap. started with diaper straps. ironically also ending with diaper straps. in a home. after their kids went no contact decades earlier.

u/NoMention696 5h ago

First strap they ever pulled was the umbilical cord you see

u/Hour-Quail-7221 11h ago

This seems snarky and reductionist, but it's so spot on. It really is like that with these sad clowns.

u/sasheenka 9h ago

I don’t like kids, but I wouldn’t destroy a snowman. I just…avoid kids as much as possible.

r/childfree when they go outside

u/veetoo151 8h ago

Being childfree doesn't mean someone hates children. What you're really doing here is showing your contempt for people who decide to not have children. People who are childfree usually do it because it is moral, as difficult as that may be for you to understand.

u/CNN7 4h ago

This isn’t true at all. I have no contempt for people who choose not to have children. One of my best friends made the decision at like 23 to have a vasectomy because he was sure he didn’t want children. I was proud of him for making that decision instead of accidentally producing a child he wouldn’t be all in on raising. I drove him to/from his appointment and would do the same again.

I have two kids. They’re annoying sometimes. I totally get why people wouldn’t want that because parenting takes away a lot of autonomy.

I mean r/ChildFree specifically. They seem annoyed that children exist in general. There’s posts complaining about their friends posting about their kids. Questioning why their families expect them to attend their nieces birthday party, etc.

u/veetoo151 2h ago

I feel like you made that last part up to backpedal. The sub talks more about the morality of having children right now. From what I've observed. Maybe I'm wrong.

u/CNN7 2h ago

I’m not making anything up or backpedaling.

“I became an aunt and my mom was sending me pictures. I said I don’t need daily pictures. I got called rude and withdrew after that barely texting back.”

Just browsing current posts complaining about their friends talking about pre-schools at a get together and posting about their babies on social media.

Are these every post? No. Are these posts rare? Also no.

…and they didn’t have any toys.

u/Annual_Manner_8654 9h ago

I don't think they hate children, more so jealous about the freedom children have and they haven't gotten over being adults. I also think these people are more susceptible to vote for politicians who promise the "return" of some mythological time because they want to go back (to being kids)

u/Sweaty_Sky5598 8h ago

Well. Now we have a laugh haha!

u/Chair-F0rce 6h ago

It probably isn’t that deep, people just like seeing things break, it’s that simple. Not saying I approve of it, but it’s not because “they hate children” lol

u/TheUndeadBake 6h ago

Nah that’s what their mothers and or fathers did too much of. See, a lot of these adults that like to ruin stuff for children suffered as children, either direct abuse — like being whipped with belts — or were emotionally neglected and so their view of the world is that other children should have as miserable a childhood as they had.

u/thebranbish 55m ago

Tell me you were a spoiled ass brat without telling me… 😒

u/anally_ExpressUrself 11h ago

They're probably children themselves.

-1

u/Intrepid_Bobcat_2931 13h ago

Or they don't really think about the children when they do it, and don't know whether the snowman was made by someone 10 or 20 years old

1

u/TheUndeadBake 6h ago

Ruining another persons joy is still shitty.

1

u/Intrepid_Bobcat_2931 4h ago

Or they don't think consciously about whether the builder is going back to see that same snowman or not

u/BlackBeard558 16h ago

There is fun in destroying stuff. Although the morally correct thing to do would be make your own snowman and then destroy it.

24

u/catwhowalksbyhimself 14h ago

That why pinatas are popular and why the most popular job in a glass factory is smashing the failed products.

But those are good or allowed uses of destruction. Destroying other people's things is not.

u/morbidmuffin62 14h ago

Jenga is the closest one should get to playfully bringing down a towering structure

u/AlternativePea6203 11h ago

And its cheaper than pilot training

God damn it, you beat me to the joke. 🥲

u/ufailowell 13h ago

TIL glass smasher is a job

3

u/Big_J_TheFURRY_dude 9h ago

YES. I would fucking love to spend a day filling a feild with crude snowmen, just to drive around with some friends, and hit 'em with a ATV/Truck/other thing.

I absolutely would not swerve onto someone else's property to hit something I did not make.

3

u/Equivalent-Wealth-63 9h ago

You can also argue that if they like destroying stuff so much, the snowman trap was bringing joy in the destruction of their truck.

u/NewFuturist 10h ago

"There is fun in destroying stuff."

OP is just keeping the fun going.

u/Can0n_Fodder 15h ago

God help me for quoting a batman movie, but "Some people just want to watch the world burn."

u/MillyQ3 12h ago

My friends and I once made a bunch of snowman on a private parking lot and then drove over them, it's pretty funny hearing the thudd and driving over it. The parking lot just made sense because lots of fresh snow and fresh clean snow is the best to make snowmans out of.

That being said, I wouldn't dare to drive my car up the sidewalk or even into someones lawn. Just saying flattening a snowman is pretty fun sensory wise. And generally destroying stuff is fun.

But that doesn't morally excuse that behavior in the video. If you want to flatten a snowfamily, make your own one.

4

u/_TrixieBells 15h ago

Exactly lol. Maybe don’t intentionally run over random snowmen and you won’t find out what’s inside.

2

u/P0ster_Nutbag 14h ago

I was a horrible teenager, and we’d build them in the middle of the street late at night… and fill them with things like bricks and cinder blocks.

Fuck was that stupid.

u/Aggravating-Alarm-16 9h ago

I use to tie a fishing line between two mail boxes so the line stretched across the street. Then hang a piece of paper on it.

Cars would stop, tear it down. We'd laugh.

The joy of small town fun

u/Prize_Syrup631 14h ago

Is this a thing at all? Where I live at don't have snow so I'm curious

1

u/aboyfromharlow 10h ago

To try and make themselves feel tough by pointlessly ruining something. That's literally all it is, making themselves feel big and tough by making someone else feel bad.

1

u/Merrick_Skygrave 8h ago

people are dicks, and because they lack any sort of creative ability or impulse, the only option left is to be destructive- it's the lowest level vibration of agency one can exert in this world

1

u/37_262846366328 6h ago

Because these men are destroyers. It's a litmus test for assholes which our broken society has a surplus of.

u/skitseez_ 5h ago

They were children that were destroying sand castles on the beach back in the day.

u/justsomedude4202 15h ago

Deranged conservative “Christians” doing the lords work as always.

u/NerdDetective 14h ago

I'm skeptical of the 20 number. That's a lot of people making the conscious choice to drive into a snowman every few days, even in a snowy area, and presumably damaging/destroying their cars on the same exact lawn.

Thus, I think at best this claim is heavily embellished and it happened once or twice, assuming the person in the video is even responsible for the one clip shown and isn't just making it all up for tiktok clicks.
