It’s real, they did an article about him. This was supposed to be a soft piece to make him more human. ha ha.

    Meta CEO, Mark Zuckerberg not only is a media giant but also a sporting fanatic. While everyone is aware of his love for combat sports, only a few know about his interest in surfing. Like Meta has a knack for launching a new update every once in a while, its maker has a fondness for surfing treacherous waves intermittently. Interestingly, paddling into the ocean helps Zuckerberg stay focused.

    Jesus. What a ham-handed PR piece. He has billions, but hires Temu PR for his humanization campaign. What a complete jackass.

    He really went hard on the sunblocker because everyone knows that lizards love the sun.

    I expected to hear an older British man say: “And here, we can see the pale water lizard riding the waves, in hopes of finding friends. So far, the efforts have been in vain.”

      Absolute power corrupts absolutely. We can’t imagine what it’s like to be that obscenely wealthy. Logic would state that it works the other way too. They have very little concept of humanity in general. You and I would be the same if no one in the world could tell us “no”. It’s a form of psychosis, in my humble opinion.

          I’m not saying it’s the coolest photo out there. It’s just the first photo I’ve seen of him where it’s not absolutely cringe at first glance.

          Like, take any other photo of him, put somebody else there in the exact situation, and it’s still a cringe photo. This one though? Nah, pretty cool if it was someone else. Thats all I was trying to get across

    Zuckerberg surfs every morning right before he indulges in his complicated work algorithms, reports the New York Post. Now obviously being an IT giant comes with a casket full of responsibilities

    Dressing up as a thicc Geosha Surfer every morning helps Zuck deal with his daily casket of problems.

        Hey i like vr, I think it’s neat that we had a billionaire pour liquid money on it and make a shit ton of r&d, even if it still hasn’t become a breakthrough killer platform.

        I think it shows spine… Or something.

          Zuck has been nothing but terrible for the state of VR. Oculus was doing fine before Facebook bought them, and since then all they’ve contributed is trying to fragment the ecosystem.

            Nah the Quest 3 (and I’d argue still the 2) is easily the best headset on the market right now.

            Nothing else comes close to the features, quality, and most importantly the price.

            You can hate meta and Facebook and the zucc all you want but they are doing legitimate really really cool things with VR

          I like VR too! But all those billions aren’t going into R&D, they are going into their shitty “metaverse” & exclusivity deals for VR content providers. Meta is just trying to capture the VR market before it properly gets going, so they have a revenue stream like Google & Apple.

          That’s very bad for the future of VR. If they succeed, it will massively dampen the market of possible ventures, and will ensure one of the worst companies on the planet gets even more personal information from everyone.

    Zinc really is excellent sunblock. Makes you look like a doofus and it gets absolutely everywhere, but you aren’t sunburnt.
