Has everyone missed that the original post is by Hasan Piker?

He is obviously talking about the lack of slop relating to what he wants to comment about on his 8 hour daily stream.

"Read a book" barely makes sense in that context, although he has put theory on the stream before, and probably should do that if the news cycle is slow!

[–] Edamamebean@hexbear.net 35 points 2 months ago

Why does he feel the need to do an 8 hour stream every day though? He has plenty of money, if the slop trough runneth dry he should just take a holiday break.

[–] Ram_The_Manparts@hexbear.net 25 points 2 months ago (1 children)

I did not miss that, and it's still pathetic.

It's fucking wild how there are still people on hexbear running defense for this clown.

[–] RomCom1989@hexbear.net 23 points 2 months ago

Out of all the reasons to dislike the guy,I think this is one of the sillier ones

[–] plinky@hexbear.net 25 points 2 months ago

is he not a burger now? or is he commenting on anime and podcasts? if the latter, how is book different from anime to comment on? free style about blue curtainsfor 8 hours, probably best education those kids will get.

[–] infuziSporg@hexbear.net 21 points 2 months ago

he makes content about "anime and shows"?

[–] purpleworm@hexbear.net 18 points 2 months ago

He is obviously talking about the lack of slop relating to what he wants to comment about on his 8 hour daily stream.

That is obviously not true, he almost never talks about new anime releases or anything of the sort.

[–] 9to5@hexbear.net 15 points 2 months ago (1 children)

I understand now . OP didnt frame it that way though

[–] spectre@hexbear.net 12 points 2 months ago

True true, I just thought one of the first few comments would point it out, but I guess it was up to me today so nbd.

[–] BountifulEggnog@hexbear.net 14 points 2 months ago

I'd listen to Hasan read theory to me

[–] SkingradGuard@hexbear.net 6 points 2 months ago

He's a socdem

[–] Snort_Owl@hexbear.net 38 points 2 months ago (4 children)

Im not convinced by anyone who says they have run out of any kind of entertainment its quite literally impossible to run out. Burned through all their anime and shows… how? Its like 2 weeks how do you run out of anything

[–] LENINSGHOSTFACEKILLA@hexbear.net 18 points 2 months ago

my backlog is absolutely immense, but I do find myself saying i've "run out" of things to watch, usually because the backlog is filled with incredibly long/slow content, or something that i know is going to like emotionally devastate me.

[–] 9to5@hexbear.net 17 points 2 months ago

Yeah I mostly watch Tv and Movies these days but if I somehow ever would run out of stuff to watch there . I could just watch stuff on my anime and cartoon backlog and suddenly have a 50 to a 100 things to watch

[–] barrbaric@hexbear.net 9 points 2 months ago

Yeah, I'm over here with a backlog of like 90 shows and movies and I keep adding more faster than I can get through them! Not to mention video games, TTRPGs, whatever! The trough is always full for those with discerning snouts.

[–] WokePalpatine@hexbear.net 5 points 2 months ago

Maybe he's one of those guys who's like "I only watch mecha anime and play SRPGs" and he finally consumed it all.

[–] take_five_moments@hexbear.net 35 points 2 months ago (2 children)

"there is no content" MF GO OUTSIDE

[–] plinky@hexbear.net 35 points 2 months ago

outside doesn't have content, only continents i-spil-my-jice

[–] DaMummy@hexbear.net 10 points 2 months ago

In the outernet?

[–] Le_Wokisme@hexbear.net 30 points 2 months ago

there's always more shit to watch or listen to. the trouble is finding it

[–] ProgAimerGirl@hexbear.net 26 points 2 months ago

1 mo i'm bookmogging this podcel rn

[–] Des@hexbear.net 22 points 2 months ago

i guess this is kind of like being a gig worker and having a slow week for a guy in his industry. wait i guess he is that

[–] purpleworm@hexbear.net 17 points 2 months ago

He talks like he watches that much anime. There's hundreds of hours of high-quality anime that he could watch if he's caught up on Bleach and One Piece. Does he even watch other anime?

[–] Wmill@hexbear.net 17 points 2 months ago

All my posting is unpaid labor I gladly do to promote marxist lenisnit hippopotamist thought

[–] Carl@hexbear.net 14 points 2 months ago

my man streams 12 hours a day and he doesn't have enough time for content??

[–] SorosFootSoldier@hexbear.net 13 points 2 months ago

Scientists read book and you know what scientists do? They lie.

I like Hasan but just no.

Not to be that guy. But that only tells me the person in question only has surface level knowledge about the respective media if they "run out of things to watch"

Like I watched a total of 40-50 things in 2025. Shows/Tv/Movies and some anime. I enjoyed most of the things I watched to different degrees.

Without even trying I already have 4-5 things lined up for 2025 (and If I REALLY wanted I could probably double that)

All of that is with mostly watching new releases as well. You can always go back and watch older stuff.

[–] 11092001@hexbear.net 4 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago)

Fairly correct, Hasan has 'normie' taste in anime, just Shonens and Studio Ghibli films. Something like Revolutionary Girl Utena would probably blow his mind if was not too low budget for him to be out of his rader. But it might piss him off with its magical realism. Also it being a magical girl show.

[–] dead@hexbear.net 9 points 2 months ago (1 children)

He's not saying that he doesn't read books. In the second tweet, Hasan clarifies that he is asking for something to listen to while he lift weights. Hasan has a bachelor's degree in political science.

[–] plinky@hexbear.net 18 points 2 months ago (1 children)

(a) the degree in nonsense. but also as if degree had anything to do with book reading in the first place, cmon.

(b) listening to news while lifting weights (???) lmao, but not books, okay. (and self-reflecting is for those boomers who don't have content brainrot apparently, shining example for kids and lefties everywhere)

[–] dead@hexbear.net 10 points 2 months ago (2 children)

His degree is evidence that he's read at least 1 book. Also he read Marx at university, I think as part of his degree. You could say that you disagree with his interpretations of Marx, but he did read it.

What someone listens to while they exercise is personal preference. I would be surprised to see someone reading a book in between reps. I would guess he watches news during lifting and then talks about the news he watched on stream afterward.

[–] RomCom1989@hexbear.net 8 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago)

You are interrupting this Hexbear's eruditemogging of a yankee Poliscicel

Be considerate, please

[–] into_highest_invite@lemmygrad.ml 4 points 2 months ago
