Every city has its quirks, but it’s fair to say that the city built around selling literal fairy tales to tourists in the middle of Florida’s muggiest swamps has more than most.
Orlando Redditors recently got together to pick the oddest things we all take for granted in the City Beautiful, whether its just dipping in to most people’s dream vacation on a whim or dealing with the ever-present and highly predictable thunderstorms.
We’ve collected a few of our favorites below.
One of em searches the car, one plants evidence, and the third one threatens people within 100 yards recording them— Down With This Sort of Ting-Tings (@canoepickles) March 30, 2022Be careful out there, Officers! Proximity fentanyl exposure is no joke – it happened to my uncle and he experienced acute tazed himself in the balls and died.— Tom Joad The Wet Sprocket (@Adequate_Scott) March 30, 2022I am being so serious rn when I say we are not bullying Disney adults enough https://t.co/N9FhTQyMat— Jacob (@redmagejacob93) June 7, 2022 Credit: Universal Orlando Resort unveils a very unique new portal at its park.https://t.co/49MkAK908H— skoals (@MuscleSkoals) March 29, 2022pic.twitter.com/KpxQ7nU3ng— A Touch of Class (warfare) (@SeancePolitique) March 30, 2022they don't have that same fear of COVID even though it's killed more cops.— 🍕🌮🦇⚾ pizza/tacos/bats ⚾🦇🌮🍕 (@batsdingerbonds) March 30, 2022So weird how drugs keep ending up in the noses of the cops doing these searches— POWERFUL CRAB FART🦀 (@FartCrab) March 29, 2022do the hazmat suits protect you from easily available factual information about how fentanyl works— 'Weird Alex' Pareene (@pareene) March 29, 2022Weird how nurses and doctors distribute fentanyl every day, multiple times a day with none of this. Almost like it’s not absorbed through the skin and officers who test positive took it recreationally and are lying otherwise.— Daffonté Duckworth (@SjonesiProduce) March 29, 2022Seriously ill people wear transdermal patches 24 hours a day that deliver pure pharm grade fentanyl directly into their bodies but healthy cops need hazmat suits to handle street fent that has no catalyst for skin absorption? COPS STOP LYING FOR EVEN 24 HOURS CHALLENGE. https://t.co/ZkKlphIF69— Mx. Amadi “unwell anyway” Lovelace (@amaditalks) March 30, 2022There’s no way this is a real show that’s been on for years.This was clearly made up 20 minutes ago by the Truman show producers who run my life https://t.co/CT4eO75M1k— Jeff Burnett (@burnettski92) December 13, 2022Oh. My. God.“If that bag rips, we’re all dead!”It would be so much funnier if it weren’t so insidious. Cops perpetuate these lies to justify more funding, imprisonment, and force in the racist drug war.Say it with me: THERE’S NO SUCH THING AS FENTANYL EXPOSURE. https://t.co/ZK9V7x1nUk— kevin nye (@kevinmnye1) December 13, 2022There are no reports of widespread looting in Florida. Nor are there reports of looting taking place in either Chicago or New York. In speaking with a local law enforcement official in Duval County yesterday, he was not sure what @AGAshleyMoody was referencing in this tweet. https://t.co/H8NGwzDhT7— Travis Akers (@travisakers) October 2, 2022Super cool that these idiots get to spend their time LARPing The Andromeda Strain. https://t.co/CgvzsNRJkh— Chris Koeppel 💙 (@badgermancer) March 30, 2022this shit is havana syndrome for cops— chris (@MrTooDamnChris) March 29, 2022Super weird that as a paramedic I am frequently in homes with fentanyl, administering fentanyl and so on but never OD or need Naloxone. This has also included at variable times spilling high concentration fentanyl on myself. Super weird.— Richard Armour (@richardarmour99) March 30, 2022You’re all laughing but what if the fentanyl slapped the cops so hard they fell backwards and died not so funny now is it https://t.co/2Yznv5JWpv— mk (@mkkaishian) March 30, 2022Florida's hurricane recovery will look nothing like *checks notes* Chicago's hurricane recovery. https://t.co/Oy0MCtbX4C— Max Steele (@maxasteele) October 2, 2022The craziest part is that they just kept Bob Iger in the Disney Vault with all those old VHS tapes since he first stepped down— Josh Billinson (@jbillinson) November 21, 2022They'll wear all this but refused to wear a mask for covid lol— Sodaspider (@Podna86) March 29, 2022Cops love getting owned on twitter for having panic attacks and then narcanning themselves for no reason https://t.co/UYec0FJQLc— Alex Betsos, Marquis de Réagent (@ADrugResearcher) March 30, 2022Police are trained to be so scared of drugs that they are literally falling down from panic attacks all over the country https://t.co/iJhsfCUKgD— John Hamasaki (@HamasakiLaw) March 30, 2022hope they open one of these in vegas https://t.co/JJf2UeTjHY— ace member 𝘯𝘰𝘵 on sex offender registry (@nodumper) July 14, 2022jfk reloaded https://t.co/7m4cMm368T— john 🎾 (@mexicanwilddog) July 14, 2022One of em searches the car, one plants evidence, and the third one threatens people within 100 yards recording them— Down With This Sort of Ting-Tings (@canoepickles) March 30, 2022Be careful out there, Officers!
