The Skateboard was invented by "Gustav zu Skate" in 1965 in West-Berlin and was called "Lustigkeitsrollbrett" then shortened to Skatebrett and in English Skateboard πŸ₯Έ

Before Avril, we called it rollerboarding. The boards were considerably larger and you would propel yourself along with a long pole, like a gondola. Only the wealthy could afford true rollerboards, however, we would make our own with scrap wood. I had one that was a modified old door that I had attached bicycle wheels to the sides of. That board would FLY down hills but you needed the whole neighborhood to pull the damn thing back up again.

Don't believe everything you read on the Internet, that's how World War I got started.

[–] Viking_Hippie@lemmy.world 27 points 1 day ago (1 children)

That reminds me of my favorite quote from the author of Eat, Pray, Love:

And yet, it's good advice.

True, Archduke did a sick run at the Sarajevo Skatepark, everyone cheered but the Serbs didn't liked being owned like that. Thus WW 1 started.

[–] dragontamer@lemmy.world 26 points 1 day ago

Abe Lincoln famously warned us about how people make up shit on the Internet.

On the other hand you don't want to dismiss everything you read on the Internet. That's how World War II got started.

Except Avril Lavigne hasn't been Avril Lavigne ever since the switch. If you're going to spread lies, at least use a real person maybe?

[–] sukhmel@programming.dev 15 points 23 hours ago

On a non-shitpost noteI'm amazed how things turn out sometimes:

The creator of the blog that originated the Avril EstΓ‘ Morta conspiracy has apologized and changed the whole blog post to state that Avril has not died yet, and that the blog was a way of showing how conspiracy theories may seem true.

I'm almost sure it was about the same way we got flat earth and sovereignty of citizens

[–] peopleproblems@lemmy.world 18 points 1 day ago

But everyone knows Avril Lavigne died in 2003, and Avril Lavigne did invent skateboarding in 2002. He's not spreading lies, he's exaggerating the truth.

The truth being, of course, there is no spoon.

[–] PetteriPano@lemmy.world 82 points 1 day ago (3 children)

Akshually, skateboarding was invented by a certain Marty McFly in 1955.

[–] random_character_a@lemmy.world 24 points 1 day ago (1 children)

I remember seeing historical record film about this that was recorded on an magnetic tape medium.

[–] wildcardology@lemmy.world 6 points 23 hours ago

His name was actually Calvin Klein.

[–] abfarid@startrek.website 1 points 1 day ago

You have it wrong, it was Calvin Marty Klein.

[–] Snapz@lemmy.world 11 points 21 hours ago

It's complicated...

[–] ryathal@sh.itjust.works 35 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Skateboarding is male dominated because women learn falling as you age isn't fun faster than men.

[–] LifeInMultipleChoice@lemmy.dbzer0.com 16 points 1 day ago (2 children)

Don't tell that to the roller derby teams

[–] Bacano@lemmy.world 4 points 21 hours ago

I've never seen so many women at the skatepark. On quads, inline, and skateboards whatever. Ik its a shit post but I really like skating and I like how inclusive it tends to be these days.

Women on street league are doing tricks never been done before by women, always pushing the envelope. When I was growing up, my one skater friend was one of like 3 girls compromising the entire scene. Now you can catch 3 at the parks on any given day.

[–] thisbenzingring@lemmy.sdf.org 4 points 23 hours ago (1 children)

Those are a special breed of women.

[–] kamenlady@lemmy.world 2 points 22 hours ago

I watched a French series a while ago. I think it was called Derby Girls. I ended up watching the 3 seasons 3 times in a row.

Growing up in the 60's I had a skateboard called a monster with a picture of a monster on the top. It had metal skate wheels on it. My uncle said they used to make something like that in the 40's by nailing a skate onto a board, though it sounded more like a scooter since they usually added a handle to the front.

As seen in the documentary Back to the Future

I do hate this stuff because there are so many things that just don't know things and get their information from searches that then might then use this.

[–] dragontamer@lemmy.world 13 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago)

There is more that meets the eye,

Can I make it more obvious?

This is how the story ends...

[–] wildcardology@lemmy.world 3 points 23 hours ago

Around 52 percent of Americans will fall for this.

[–] _____@lemm.ee 2 points 1 day ago (1 children)

this is what I said about the Linux memes about Linux being hard to use, people were upset I said that because of the "can't take a joke" angle

but I seriously believe that those memes do more harm than good

[–] HubertManne@moist.catsweat.com 3 points 1 day ago (1 children)

thing is im such a hypocrite because I was super sarcastic and I can totally see why folks do this stuff for fun but man I never realized how it would end up influencing little cults when the internet grew up.

[–] _____@lemm.ee 3 points 1 day ago

it's more of a "know your audience" thing for me

I can make all sorts of stupidly sarcastic jokes with my friends but when it comes to the internet there's probably thousands of idiots who read content and take it as face value and as genuine

Well it wasn't good enough for her.

[–] Kolanaki@yiffit.net 17 points 1 day ago

She literally said "see ya later, boys."

Isn't Avril Lavigne the singer who was replaced with a clone?

/s

[–] werefreeatlast@lemmy.world 7 points 1 day ago (2 children)

That was Michael Jackson but they made a mistake....he was African American and they forgot the African part with the clone.... sorry Michael! I had to. I just had to!

[–] ayyy@sh.itjust.works 4 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Wait skating is male dominated? I’m an old now, but that wasn’t the case in my town when I was a fellow kid.

[–] TriflingToad@sh.itjust.works 2 points 23 hours ago* (last edited 23 hours ago) (1 children)

Not many people scare anymore. Cars or walk (mainly car). At my school of 1,500 there's maybe 3 bikes.
Nobody rides anything to go anywhere it's just for fun now around the neighborhood.

[–] Backlog3231@reddthat.com 2 points 7 hours ago* (last edited 7 hours ago)

You must live somewhere completely addicted to cars. It isn't like that here, or in most of the world.

Makes me want to watch those girls in the 70s on banana boards....

I thought she was the inventor of too much eye make-up.

[–] Sam_Bass@lemmy.world -1 points 1 day ago* (last edited 21 hours ago) (2 children)

Skateboarding was not a woman's invention. Not sure who did but it predates 2002 by at least 30 decades because I had one as a kid in the 70s. And hey, just found out they originated in the 30s

[–] almar_quigley@lemmy.world 1 points 5 hours ago

That’s the joke.gif

[–] Stez827@sh.itjust.works 13 points 1 day ago (1 children)

It's sarcasm dude and 30 decades would be 300 years it's not that old

[–] Sam_Bass@lemmy.world 4 points 1 day ago

Yeah well i mistyped. Supposed to be just 3
