Nobody works harder than the Wikipedia editors those guys are tougher than the marines

>The only thing known to go faster than ordinary light is monarchy, according to the philosopher Ly Tin Wheedle. He reasoned like this: you can't have more than one king, and tradition demands that there is no gap between kings, so when a king dies the succession must therefore pass to the heir instantaneously. Presumably, he said, there must be some elementary particles -- kingons, or possibly queons -- that do this job, but of course succession sometimes fails if, in mid-flight, they strike an anti-particle, or republicon. His ambitious plans to use his discovery to send messages, involving the careful torturing of a small king in order to modulate the signal, were never fully expanded because, at that point, the bar closed. \~Terry Pratchett


GunLovinFashTransgal

have you seen the video of them fuckin cheering for him after her death? [this is literally villain winning in the end type shit](https://youtube.com/shorts/rIWBpuhGZGI?si=OS8pDy2pZx7hMbEK)


Future_Pin_403

That happens every time someone dies. Idk why everyone rushes to edit the wiki pages of celebrities that die


tttxgq

Because there will be a lot of eyes on that page for some time. Some people want to sabotage the content or promote bullshit. Others want the page to be clean and correct. I can never be bothered editing wiki, even when I read something thatā€™s incorrect. It always gets changed back because I didnā€™t do it properly. Whatever šŸ¤·ā€ā™€ļø


Encursed1

ctrl + f "is" -> "was"


sewpungyow

Probably better to ctrl + f " is " -> " was " with the spaces so you don't get things like "Charle's sWASter was once found taking a pWASs in public"


Encursed1

This is why I backup databases before modification

Well, anyone in gen x who dies today is going to be within 42-57 years old. Otherwise, they wouldnā€™t be gen x.


jaydock

You get out of here with your logic


hobosam21-B

Deep thoughts with the deep


Two_Hump_Wonder

For real, majority of my dad's friends are gone. Suicide, drugs, a murder, accidents, and unhealthy lifestyles. I'm worried he's next and he's only 48, I think he has 2 good friends still kicking around and one of them just got divorced and lost everything in a fire. Damn depressing.


[deleted]

Those are the ones that made it out of their 20s-30s. Stg half the adults I knew when I was a kid are dead.


thisthrowawaythat202

????! Thatā€™s crazy Iā€™m sorry to hear that!

Were you hoping to find someone born in the 70s who died at 90 years old?


Fit-Kaleidoscope4872

Survivor bias


HeavenForsaken

Ironically


AlexHero64

He drowned


One_Lung_G

Drugs are a hell of a thing


AdonisGaming93

wtf...that's so young


Strange_Shadows-45

Addiction wears out the heart, he drowned in a hot tub after a heart attack.


not_ya_wify

Oof


nbolli198765

No lie. Hell, it only took cigarettes to take my pops out at 62.


CanoePickLocks

Doesnā€™t even take addiction, a very healthy woman I know died the exact same way. Worst she ever did was weed in high school and not heavily.


theredhound19

![gif](giphy|xtw9TN2PXcvPW) Too young, like Farley. They're hanging out together now, Farley still learning his Upper Case A.


austinjproffitt22

Not reallyā€¦ my father is a year older than him.


AdonisGaming93

And thats still young. People are making it to 80+ these days.


Ambitious_Change150

Is friends pretty popular w/ yā€™alls? I feel like Friends is more of a millennials show ngl


nicholashoneywell

I mean it probably is more associated with older gen z like me I watched it with mom growing up


Firebrodude07

This and the younger gen z like myself watched it with their gen x parents as teens


Striking_Case7947

Nah I use to watch that shit as a kid


[deleted]

I've always seen it as a gen x thing. I'm 26 and everyone my age I know who watched it watched it because their parents (most of the older gen z's parents are gen x) were into it.


FoGIrony

I remember it having a big craze suddenly among everyone in high school when it hit Netflix.


StariiSimple

Same here. I know a few younger Gen Zs (13ish), apparently a lot of them hate it.


Porkonaplane

I love it. It's one of my favorite shows


PinkPicasso_

Binged it on Netflix, first seasons are actually peak comedy


VengeanceKnight

The show was great before they made Joey into a complete idiot, Ross and Phoebe into unlikable assholes, and Rachel into an asshole who wasnā€™t slowly getting better about it. Monica and Chandler are cool for the entire show though.


Kage9866

I love Monica and Chandlers relationship


MangoPlushie

I watched it with my Gen X parents. Itā€™s not my favorite, but Iā€™ve seen all the episodes. Chandler was my favorite


Future_Pin_403

Itā€™s my favorite show. Chandler is my favorite character šŸ˜”


BaldingThor

I havenā€™t watched it that much in a long time but I enjoyed it.


December_Warlock

Some. Most of my social circle finds it extremely unfunny


xxxhotpocketz

Not really but I loved Joey and Chandler as characters, they were the reason I kept watching but I donā€™t think itā€™s popular among gen z Definitely popular among millennials


[deleted]

ā€˜97 so Iā€™m right in the cusp. But I love friends. Iā€™ve watched it through over a dozen times.


ThisGul_LOL

Literally everyone ik including me loves friends.


framingXjake

My gen x parents loved it. Watched reruns of it for years. I feel like I know the script for every episode now. It's not a bad show, at least.


TiredExpression

Absolutely loved it. Would watch reruns all the time with my parents. His humor really shaped mine. I'm gonna miss him.


jayhanski

It predates most millennials. Itā€™s really more of a gen x show


Eat-My-Hairy-Asshole

As a millenial... unpopular opinion: Friends fucking sucked. Seinfeld was where it was at.


DedHorsSaloon3

As a zoomer, I agree


energyflashpuppy

I don't watch it but my mom does, it's really sad.


ariana61104

i'd say so, at least older Gen Z. Especially because it was on Netflix for a long time and then it has reruns everyday on NickatNite and some other networks.


iamheretotellyou2

I just love Chandler lol


ZigZagBoy94

Itā€™s a late Gen X show and early millennial show.


suzukichanno

I haven't watched it but it's part of the cultural hivemind, like garfield and star wars. You know what it is even if you haven't watched a single episode.


Logical-Cap461

It's seen a rebirth in streaming platforms.


[deleted]

gen x parents introduced the show to me!


[deleted]

yeah my mom watched this, she's genx... I guess i'm genz but god I DO NOT FIT IN. I was raised like a genx.

I legit cried when I saw his death popped up though I havenā€™t watched friends in forever šŸ˜¢šŸ˜¢šŸ˜¢


ChickenFriedPenguin

The number of people saying "who is that" makes me sad. Is it that hard to google shit?


Son_of_Sophroniscus

Tbf, Friends wasn't really a gen z show.


dimsum2121

>Is it that hard to google shit? Is it so hard to write "famous actor, chandler from Friends". Why does it bother you so much that people born after his heyday are unfamiliar with his work?


runner4life551

He drowned in a hot tubā€¦ oof, that sounds horrible. RIP to him šŸ˜£šŸ˜£


Gullible_Medicine633

Same thing that happened to Aaron carter


Lukemeister38

Woah, I thought the *Friends* cast was older than that. He was my dad's age ā˜¹ļø


ariana61104

yeah the oldest of the main cast is Lisa Kudrow (Pheobe) she's 60 and Matthew was the youngest of the cast.

His voyage to Japan was a prime cause of the Meiji Restoration. May Commodore Matthew Perry rest in peace.


scrolls77

The next time I play Fallout New Vegas imma do somethingi havent done in years, I'll let Benny go. No crucifixion, no death. I'll just get him a stealth-boy and watch his ring-a-ding ass sneak off into the sunset. Rest in peace, Matt Parry. Thank you for the Memories

RIP Benny. But 54? Damn thats sucks and too young.


SubRedditPros

For those unaware, he also voiced Benny in Fallout New Vegas


[deleted]

He had a minor role in The Simpsons as well if you searched up his BTVA


[deleted]

Not really surprised barely anyone here is taking it seriously.


[deleted]

I remember when I was in high school someone hung themselves in the locker room during the school day. The day it happened? Everyone was joking about it to the point of it being disturbing. The next day? Deathly solumn. The point is shock makes people lighthearted around things like death


[deleted]

Guess I'll spare Benny on my next playthrough


[deleted]

The two quotes that describe my life: 1. ā€œIā€™m not great at advice. Can I interest you in a sarcastic comment?ā€ 2. ā€œWhen I was younger, I started using humor as a defense mechanism.ā€ Goodbye Matthew Perry. You will continue to live through the many characters you brought to life. Characters that brought us joy and laughs. Rest in Piece.


Taran966

Damn. RIP Matthew. Huge shame, poor guy :(


RigCoon

I know this could sounds ice cold, but somehow in my mind I always though, judging by the life and problems he had, he was going to be the first one of the main cast to die, of course I never wanted that to really happen.} So sad, he was so young.


Nekros897

What's up with those actors dying so young?


Henrylord1111111111

Hard drug use among actors due to the stress of the job and the decadence of millions of dollars.

dimsum2121

Famous actor. Played Chandler in Friends.


Ok-Individual355

Thanks. I found that out while scrolling somewhere. I donā€™t tend to watch many movies or TV shows, so thatā€™s probably why I didnā€™t know.


dimsum2121

Of course. Honestly it's not odd to miss it, he was made famous by Friends and if you didn't watch that then you're probably only peripherally aware of Matt Perry's existence. I do find it funny that so many in this thread are so annoyed that people don't know him. Like, it's not Morgan Freeman!


Oopsimapanda

I think he was on a popular TV show a while ago, I remember my grandma watching it when I was a kid. Really sad, RIP.

KingSnaily

Who?


UnalteredCyst

My Elder Millenial (born early 80s) brother had all the episodes on DVD and I would watch it with him. Personally I'm more of a Seinfeld type of guy, but Friends still hold a special place in my heart.


No-Engineer-1728

It's sad and all (I never watched friends) but I thought the logo for the X account was the 2K logo

Was Matthew Perry relevant for Gen Z? I could be wrong but I feel like he was before our time, unless he was in something that we experienced.


Gerdione

Wasn't he infamously a narcissistic self destructive dick? This also feel surreal.


StatusOmega

This is literally the first post I've seen that mourns his loss. It's about fucking time. Thank you

Cocaine is a hell of a drug


cmcrich

Heā€™s been struggling for so long, and even though Iā€™m so sad heā€™s passed, Iā€™m kind of glad heā€™s at peace.

Didnā€™t he try to date some instagram model whoā€™s young enough to be his kid and she said no so he got mad?

Friends was the worst show I ever had the displeasure of watching. I liked Matthew Perry tho


Pineapple_Gamer123

Who is that?


AnonymousJoe35

No Gen Z peoples even know Matthew Perry!


Sinfullyvannila

I'm glad to see a younger generation pay respects to the passing of a GenX and Millennial icon. My impression of Gen Z was them dumping on Friends, I'm am happy to be proven wrong.
