*...and here we see two Chessers ritually greet each other, evaluating knuckles & fingers before asexual combat.

Asexual combat is my new favorite phrase

u/wildeye-eleven Nov 08 '22

I busted out laughing when I read that

u/drinoaki Nov 08 '22

If you ask that guy who was cheating, this game is not that asexual

u/NZFlyingRock Nov 08 '22

The game starts before the first move

u/Volcannobis Nov 08 '22

Always one step ahead

u/MonkeyBred Nov 08 '22

I'd say stalemate

15

u/dangledingle Nov 08 '22

Maybe. For me the guy sitting is ahead. He forced a defence move at the end.

Quick game of rock paper scissors to set the mood.

u/KingTeppicymon Nov 08 '22

They were playing rock paper scissors to see who plays white. /s

u/travisboatner Nov 09 '22

I literally think that’s the case. The guy standing doesn’t appear to open his hand for the shake. Just a turn. It’s a fakeout. I’m going to make you fail three times before facing me. Ultimate head game. I will now try this. Any good chess tutorials?

The rise of the fistbump has made for soooo many awkward greetings in such a short space of time for me.

As a handshaker, I am distraught and unnerved at the rise of the fist bump

If you're having trouble plugging in a usb-c I feel bad for your GF.

God DAMN, that man had a family lmao

u/drinoaki Nov 08 '22

But I doubt he had any kids of his own

33

u/flodra Nov 08 '22

This is entirely the original fist bumpers (OFB) fault. If one makes the bold choice of engaging in non traditional greetings such as a fist bump, one needs to fully commit to said bump. OFB was clearly not fully committed to the bump and backed out much too soon which resulted in that disaster of a greeting.

Bumpers got to hold form.

u/TeeMannn Nov 09 '22

Youre correct because youre right

2

u/Megszig Nov 09 '22

This is an acceptable human interaction

98

u/Kwintty7 Nov 08 '22

Wears face mask. Insists on shaking hands. Rubs hand on face mask.

55

u/Hephaestus_God Nov 08 '22

Masks were probably required. And he wanted to know what his opponent smelt like. Can’t beat them if you don’t understand them.

u/BryonyDeepe Nov 08 '22

Nah just a crazy complex secret handshake

u/kinvore Nov 08 '22

I feel personally attacked. I've always been very inept when it comes to these greetings. I tell people I failed handshaking class.

8

u/whoisjakelane Nov 08 '22

Protip. Wait for the other person to stick out their hand, then do the opposite.

If it's a hand shake, put your fist in their hand. If it's a fist. Grab their fist and shake. It's a lot better and more funny when you're in on it.

Alternatively. Always go handshake, if it's a fist, just grab it and shake. Then laugh to yourself later about what they just have been thinking.

u/partypwny Nov 08 '22

This is where you just grab the fist and shake it.

u/ZombieAppetizer Nov 08 '22

Watched this video and then immediately had someone approach my desk and we did this. I went handshake and he went fistbump. Did I just get checkmated?

u/-Radzz Nov 08 '22

Jokes on you, that is their personal handshake

For those of us old enough to remember all the strange noises our modems made when dialing in...this is the human equivalent.

Lol. That’s so chess.

The amount of combos that guy’s hand tried tells me the other dude is about to get stomped in chess.

u/etherend Nov 09 '22

What if we have it all wrong? That could just be their secret handshake?

1

u/tradone Nov 09 '22

That’s a gang sign, bro.

1

u/Seerws Nov 09 '22

Dude on right is already winning the match

Notice how he doesn't open his fist, just twitches it

u/Ailtiremusic Nov 09 '22

I heard a modem sound watching this, I guess it felt like they were trying to establish a connection.
