what do you mean? i don't actually know what that means. what makes numbers like that a get? what makes it a good get? to just post the word get? you didn't post "first" but this was i think my first "get" cause idk how to know to get a get. i never asked because id been here for so long i just pretended i knew what y'all mean and i played along. but, it doesn't bother me to ask. what the hell are you talking about? lol. do y'all not like OC? would seeing someone get a get for, what, every time there's triples? would that be good? so, like, 111,222 will be another get to get? and 111,333? like, 1 in a hundred new posts?
and i guess i got the crazy epic 111,111 get? a 1 in every like 13 years kinda thing at the pace of posting here? i can make sure i say get in 13 more years when 222,222 comes up if that's something to worry about. i'll probably just not worry about the 1 every hundred or so posts that will be gettable. really though, why bad get, i remember y'all saying good get to to just random stuff, so i'm not sure what's bad about....
oh, it's not about the content of the message being posted, but the identity doing the posting that you don't like. i think i get it now. y'all really don't like me. for real, like no trolling, y'all don't like me at all.
would y'all tell me why? Feel free to tell me what your opinion of me is. i won't argue or challenge anyone on anything, i'll just read them and keep my replies to myself. What do you really think of me?

wow I was just disappointed that it was an entirely pointless clockpost but go off miss victim complex! lmao

i think you're a fuckin weirdo for reacting like this. didn't know who you were in the OP. I hope this interaction helps you to reflect on some of your defensive impulses and self importance
oh someone said 'bad get' better start playing the victim and write a paragraphs long diatribe about the supposed importance of a pointless string of numbers and why everybody hates me
get a grip

whats funny, is i remember this from when i was a kid and i saw it on tv.
but what's more interesting actually is that that's a 1920s, german box wall clock. that's a clock i've seen and serviced hundreds of times in my life. and i can say this for a number of reasons, first i'm trained in appraisals and have done work for auction companies like christies locally to id and appraise clocks. how do i do that? by the detail in the top of the crown, which is distinctive for the early 20-30s, and it's the trim that's distinctively 20s. but, i can also tell you that it was likely imported around 1935-8, and was owned most likely a jewish family.
how the fuck would i know that? it's interesting, and sad, and probably has an incredible story to tell about the owners, who were likely very brave, and bold people. This was a very fine clock in 1930s germany. and the family that owned it took a huge risk when they fled from nazi occupied germany carrying this clock. at the time, products of german make were prohibited from leaving the country, and confiscated, and often times people were considered smugglers, jailed, or shot for attempting to flee with violins for instance. clocks like this were also made in vienna and italy, but i can tell this is german by the makers mark on the dial. in the closeup you can look very closely and see between the hands and the six, that the makers mark is entirely absent. it's been polished off, and the polishing looks so clean it was likely made with jewelers rouge. the family that owed this at least were likely associated with the jewish population of jewelry makers in 1930s germany.
this is actually not an uncommon story, they were affluent, and many were able to flee with their clocks like this, and i quite literally had had this story told to me by people who'd been told the story by their parents, or literally by the people doing the fleeing and talking about the fear and everything they went through. blew me away that this was such a common story, but, it's true, when people were made to flee because of the hatred of the people who tried to destroy them, they held out as long as they could, thinking surely, someone is going to stop this. look what they're doing to your homeland. they're turning you in vile, hate filled bigots or cowards who watch and do nothing. but, no one did anything, until finally, they took everything they could carry. anything they could CARRY. to build a new life with and survive off of fleeing europe, for america. where sesame street would one day have one on TV. this meant that someone MADE it here. they survived. And they built a new life off of what it was able to bring them when they sold it. some families were luckier, and they managed to keep everything they carried over, their only possessions, and keep them as heirlooms, which passed down and represented what came out of that time.
and all a german soldier or guard would have had to do to see that it was german would have been to LOOK PAST THE FACE, and see that inside it was always german. but the nazi's were incedibly superficial and arrogant and saw what they wanted to. not what was real. and hey couldn't give up on that to the downfall of everything they touched. they just forced false, invented bullshit, and refused all opportunity to be decent people. and everything they lost was simply because they weren't able to see what was right plain as day. they were too busy wrapped up in their own, defunct, pointless and pitiless need to blame everything on the people around them that they didn't like and wanted everyone to hate.
and that's a Gustav Becker wall clock, if you want to search for yourself to see.
how did i know it was a becker?
i knew it was a gustav becker from the video thumbnail. but the pendulum was part that stood out the most. that's just a gustav becker pendulum. it is what it is.

It's a set prop. A forgery. I know because I made them for a living working in Hollywood and all over as a stagehand. I could've made a living pulling ones over the heads of people like you. But I didn't. I took the honest way out. So did my father. So did my father's father. We've been in the prop industry for that long. Longer than your grandfather was even a twinkle in your grandfather's father's eye. Yeah, that's right. You just got rekt. And I haven't even had my morning coffee yet.
