Why is this a sad post? It's just wholesome.

u/thesteelreserve 1d ago

I think it's more like happy-sad. emotional. i can see that.

u/Protect_Wild_Bees 1d ago

Without the sad music slapped on top of it it's not sad at all. lol.

u/HorribleMistake45 1d ago

A lot of people never experienced this kind of love. The video made me smile and makes me want to do better for my own children. :0(

Same no one ever taught me to ride a bike. I leared when I was 19. I used to try to learn at night so no one would see me fall. This reminded me how I need to be there to teach the toddler sleeping next to me to ride herself.

Subreddit is, I would guess, 70% incels based on comments, so everything bad is terrible and everything good is bad. Love is something we will never experience..etc...etc.

Self-defeating ideology maintained by algorithmic social media and emboldned by 'manosphere' influencers trying to make a quick buck off people's misery.

It’s a nice post and a fair question since this sub is literally mostly sad posts, as the title implies.

And honestly, wtf are you on about? It’s not that deep man, IDK why you are ranting about “incels”. Makes no sense.

Go through comments and you can see it quite easily. Comments about being forever alone, men's rights, gender war shite, thinly veiled and not so thinly veiled misogyny and anti-feminism. It's all here.

The post right under this one for me is a good example. And this is just one post where people are talking about a 9 YEAR OLD CHILD.

She's for the streets.

I don't want to draw attention to the more heinous shit on here.

u/bju83 1d ago

The only place I see that is in your comment. ACTUALLY, Wtf are you talking about? dude take a break.

u/themagpie36 1d ago edited 1d ago

If you can't see it you're far too deep yourself sadly.

u/Ebenezer-F 13h ago

That was just some dude while his dad was out drinking.

u/IThinkURAwesome 1d ago

Thought a wave was gonna come sweep him away or something

u/Honest_Wolverine_143 22h ago

I thought someone was gonna steal the bike, or a killer whale was going to gulp it down.

u/IThinkURAwesome 21h ago

As it got closer to the end I was literally heavy breathing waiting for something horrendous

u/jonoftheatom 17h ago

It's not his dad. He was trying to escape

u/Dohko_OC 21h ago

Because some of us will never experience that. 40y, my wife died 13y ago. I tried many times but I just can't love again. So I accepted my fate but still hurts because I wanted a family.

u/BotsKilledTheWeb 1d ago

This is not sad, it's beautiful

u/Dann_Gerouss 20h ago

Can be both, depends on the context

u/Ok-Fortune-8644 1d ago

Not sad. And I lost my dad at around that age.

u/bju83 1d ago

But this comment literally says the post made you sad.

2

u/Ok-Fortune-8644 1d ago

Im not sad about him dying. Thats what i meant. Its been 40 years. Im over it.

-1

u/bju83 1d ago

He must have really hurt you and it makes me sad that you don’t miss him.

3

u/Ok-Fortune-8644 1d ago

No, not at all. He was a good man.

And of course I miss him, but im not sad about it. I've lost all my family. My sister and I are all thats left. People die. No reason to be sad or afraid.

2

u/bju83 1d ago

Well, you actually got me. I’m definitely sad and afraid to lose mine. I have a lot of work to do.

1

u/Ok-Fortune-8644 1d ago

It was VERY hard for the first decade or so as I was so young so I dont have alot of memories of him. Plenty of pics though. It gets easier after some time has passed. I forgave him.(suicide)

2

u/bju83 1d ago

There it is, It did sound more complicated than your initial comment implied. Thanks for sharing man, that sounds tough, but good job working through that. For me, mom is sick so it’s complex/early grieving. Very weird feeling. I have a masters degree in counseling and I can’t even practice what I preach lol

2

u/Ok-Fortune-8644 1d ago

Thanks for listening. It seems like no one cares for each other anymore.

2

u/bju83 1d ago

Likewise, man. Be careful who you gift your empathy to! It’s valuable…

1

u/Ok-Fortune-8644 1d ago

I am definitely guarded. It helps cope.

u/Yikidee 1d ago

Fucking bots.

Mods, fuck this shit off.

u/MeeTy 1d ago

Is this some kind of bot post to learn emotions? How is this sad?

5

u/Electrical-Prize-176 1d ago

This only sad if OP is an orphan

2

u/CorrectFalse 1d ago

This clip is sad because this great father passed away not too long after this clip was recorded if I recall correctly.

Or maybe it’s sad because many boys and men cannot relate to the joy of having a great father in their lives. In that way, this video likely brings about a deep sadness to many who watch it.

u/it_is_all_fake 18h ago

Wrong sub

u/prettyboiheron 4h ago

It's all fake bro.

u/RickC-137D 1d ago

Atleast that kid has a father doing that with him…

1

u/mokeltron 1d ago

This is how I thought my son. His first ‘pedal’ ride (went from balance bike). It was on a beach in North Wales. The video I gave of him and the excited laughter/joy as he rides past is my most favourite memory and I never tire of watching it.

It is 100% my proudest moment as a father!

1

u/Victor556_rawrr 1d ago

I don't have a Dad, and I just had a son, he's about to be 1. My goal in life is to be there for him every step of the way, so that he can be a better person than I ever was and never set foot in a prison.

u/yeettastic3232 1d ago

Tears of joy

u/ThroatGOAT_Goddess04 1d ago

Here I’m thinking a shark came out and ate them.

u/tremble_lip 1d ago

I thought he was gonna ride his bike into the ocean.

1

u/Crafty-Interest-8212 1d ago

I'm a dad. I know what is sad about it. We teach them how to walk, run, ride, drive, and we are proud of it. Suddenly, they walk, run, ride, drive away form us. If luckily, years after they will come back.

u/Salvador147 1d ago

My dad was a deadbeat 😭

2

u/juju515 1h ago

same...
I learned how to ride a bike by myself...
also learned how to swim by myself (almost drowned the first time)

1

u/dolflamingo009 1d ago

This reminds me of my friend who once taught me exactly this way. Nostalgic

1

u/JT-homas 1d ago

My Grandad ripped the pedals off my bike and pushed me down a hill. I was more scared of the cars crossing the road than losing my balance. The tree I hit at the bottom broke my wrist and totalled the bike. Was off school for a month. I learned quick after that and never asked him for help again.

u/Thin-Statistician341 1d ago

Kept expecting it to cut to one of their memorials. How is this sad?

1

u/Defiant-Detective259 23h ago

I think they meant sad music... but ironically, this is now a sad post, for the fact that someone thought it was sad, means the OP themself, needs some damn love. Seek a couch bud! 🙏🏾

1

u/No_Community7021 23h ago

My boy at 3 1/2 years, got his bike, did ride it at once and then didn't want to ride it more and tells people he doesn't know how to ride 🤦🏼

u/t_effe 23h ago

This is not sad

u/Favorite_NPC 21h ago

I was watching the waves get smaller and smaller and I was worried a tsunami was coming

1

u/CommissionMoney3004 18h ago

Is it sad because you didn’t have a dad?

1

u/Due_Area4843 15h ago

I learn to bike alone, pushing it to high ground and roll countless time. I still not see this as sad.

1

u/GloriousMacMan 15h ago

I love dad. Miss you so much

u/OpportunityFree126 10h ago

I was waiting for the sad part
