    Every time I see that face I want to get violent. I want to just bash his head in with an axe handle. That fake ass fucking smile just drives me to rage and I don’t know why.

      The smile doesn’t reach his eyes. When someone is genuinely smiling, the area around the eyes wrinkle up some (especially the outside corners). Fake smiles don’t do that, not without conscious effort. It’s so unsettling because it’s setting off an instinctual urge of “this guy is being deceptive and is likely a threat”. You can check by covering part of the face in the image: cover the mouth, and the eyes just look dead and soulless.

      I’m not usually one to knock someone’s appearance but you’re right with this guy’s weird friggin grin. Like it’s not genuine or even appearing to be, in the slightest.

      It’s so cynical, cold, creepy and soulless. How did the A-B testing that drives his every single decision settle on that expression?

    solved it:

    take a screenshot of the div in question, set it as a background for the body and make it no-repeat, center center… don’t forget to slap some fancy 100vh for the body too…

    done! It will even render exactly the same so it is cross-browser ready!

    use the option cover and it will work for all screen sizes and resolutions!

    add diabolical-laughter-047.mp3 as the unstoppable music loop and like seven useless frameworks for additional style points, ohh and like three font families… just in case… and definitely some analytics from BIG G

    — profit.

    And if its anything like the stuff he put out, it’s rigged with a plant, like the kid of someone who works for him, from the beginning so he doesn’t have to really pay anything

      I stand by my description of him: “That guy in Youtube thumbnails who smiles with his teeth but not his eyes.”

      I don’t know what it is, but I just simply can’t believe that the guy is not deeply involved in some of the most twisted shit.

        Well, Jimmy Donaldson is guilty of torture and running illegal sweepstakes at the very least. His company is also the perfect place for Epstein class wannabes, which I’ve heard rumblings about but nothing concrete.

        I don’t think there’s a lot going on in Jimmy’s head. Jimmy got his start on youtube by counting to 100,000. Then he just did whatever video idea he thought would get the most views. He’s not a creative or intelligent person. Jimmy never really stopped counting.

          Idle hands and all that. Someone this vacuous with this much access to resources sounds like the perfect target for manipulation by someone with ill intent. Whatever it is may not have been his idea, but he also doesn’t seem like the person to say no to a paycheck for literally any reason.

          Not sure if you referenced it on purpose, but Folding Ideas recently published a deep dive video essay on the Mr. Beast empire, and I believe that “Jimmy never stopped counting” was their conclusion as well.

          It’s a great video. I’d recommend it if you haven’t seen it.
