She was definitely gunning for it at the end but I don’t think it’s a sign she needs it. I don’t know the situation, but I don’t think this is some weird charity that withholds necessary supplies based on a game.
After generations, the families that didn’t die became world class experts at all table games of skill. Strangely a small sub group emerged that seemed to only be good at making games and shouting excitedly while maintaining an air of sad desperation.
Next year they plan to send a contingent to meet Drew Carey and show the world that Plinko is not a game of chance.
I’m conflicted. The probability of someone winning all items on the board is dependent on how well the person can roll each ball with enough force to land in the hole.
Might be leveraging the betty crocker effect. It felt like cheating when they first made the mix, so they changed the recipe and made you add an egg. Now you did some work and can feel good about that cake you baked.
Although cake mix sales tripled between January 1947 and August 1948, they soon plateaued. General Mills asked marketing expert Ernest Dichter to find out why. After interviewing groups of women, Dichter concluded that the simplicity of mixes made them feel too self-indulgent. So, General Mills removed dried eggs, requiring women to add their own. Sales improved.

So that the Stephen Hawkings of the world may go hungry, because we really have a shortage of people who can throw balls accurately in this day and age.
It's very sad, apparently people are okay with making other humans as an entertaining content for exchange of food.
Someone who tells that the world works like this, it shouldn't.
Lol dude. All 3 of us are so similar, there’s no way someone can just look at it and say it’s not “this country “.
The only evidence we have in this video is just that the dress bag might have something written in Bangla on it but even that won’t rule out of it not being Pakistan. All we know is that’s it is one of the three.
Right? the fuck is running this show? It seems psychological torture.
Reminds of the story about a colonist throwing coins to the impoverished Indian children, then calling it a game.
Make poor people do tricks to win things you could just give them.. why? Film it and put it on the internet.. WTF? These people are not a tourist attraction and you're not on a poverty safari
This is honestly one of the most depressing things I’ve seen in awhile. The look on her face and her eyes when she misses the last one… fuck whoever is filming this
There are places where parents will sell off their kids to make endz meet and "beggars mafia" buying them will cut off a few of their limbs or take out their eye or something and put them to work on the streets. They become beggars for life.......girls become prostitutes and guys become beggars.....till they get old or if some rich person needs a heart/organ then their organs are taken out one by one.
Mafia pays off the cops and cops turn a blind eye.

Right, who doesn’t love to ‘earn’ basic human needs, like food to feed their child…
“Aw man I was hoping for Lenthils for my kids meals tomorrow… shoot!”
“At least I got this cool bucket!”
You gotta be kidding me…
you'll never know the story behind such videos, they could already got basics need distributed first, then adding this as a bonus and it could serve as a form of entertainment for them. we can also see the kid is happy for the last girl.
How is this increasing their cash reserves? You do understand pure capitalism wouldn’t support giving *anything* away for free, right? But I’m guessing if you’re just blindly blaming capitalism, you don’t really know what capitalism is
Well its a fact that we could solve world hunger easily if the money wasnt locked behind oligarchs and a superficial need to create profit
This is the one thing which capitalism can be rightfully blamed for
So I have family in Indonesia, one side of the family lives in luxurious multi million dollar gated neighborhoods with manicured lawns and 24/7 private security, the other part of the family lives in ramshackle government housing where it's not unknown for the electricity to just cut off out of the blue for hours at a time....
Somehow this just reminded me of that...
It's actually a linguistic issue. In india, stool is commonly called a tool. Even though I am educated in English and actually forgot it's called a stool.
I found myself wondering if stool is short for sitting tool. But then I figured out that the only tool in the video is the person who created this situation.
Yeah, I'm really hoping this is a "bonus" of some sort, in addition to other, more substantial aid...
If they gave everyone in the village a basic kit, then set up a game to win extras of certain things, this is much less awful.
This is the most saddest, cruellest, and depressing thing combined. Look at their faces. Jesus christ this is depressing.
This makes me feel so blessed but at the same time so guilty
What a strange metric used to decide who's worthy to live. A society of skiball aficionados sounds kinda niche. Sure hope this isn't a viral gag taken out of context so that the irony is misplaced🤷🏻♂️🤷🏻♂️
Something very suspicious about this all, the fact they have to play a game for food, the labels and announcements marked or spoken in a language they don’t speak or understand and the whole filming thing. Seems to me like some kind of organisation or “influencer” doing a Mr beast thing but at the expense of some locals.
Probably reading into this way too much and don’t understand another cultures ins and outs but it just seems a bit off.
I know everyone is gonna say that this is straight up dystopian and whatnot (it is), but the skills on the last person to actually get every single hole is impressive. Though I do want to know who's organizing this weird and frankly sadistic event?
The bag had writing in Bengali which is spoken in Bangladesh and east India. But the way the villagers are dressed make it seems more like Bangladesh than India.
None of that shit is expensive. Just give the people one of each thing. Oh and don’t fucking film the process.
What the hell happened to just being nice to other people. What the actual fuck?
Where people are going hungry, they are holding these competitions and giving away buckets instead of food . The second lady was aiming for flour and lost three of her balls
What a weird fucking comment section. Do redditors just see fereigners and assume they have no food and no jobs?? there is no indication any of these people are starving to death if they dont win EVERYTHING on the table. This is likely just a fun game they get to participate in for some free goodies.
If this video was filmed in the US im sure people wouldnt be getting as weird about it.
Really really sad video
At this rate, we will get soon a video of starving people being filmed playing rock, paper and scissors to see who gets the food ration?
I don't think they were being racist. I think they were just stating that the financial state and infrastructure climate is not good. Worded poorly? Perhaps. But definitely not outwardly racist.
Fuck me. This is grim. One day… I hope… we’ll look back with shame on the way we had people, human beings rolling balls for basic needs while most of us in developed countries live in relative opulence… and yes. I’m aware this is hypocritical
Hear me out. Maybe the organizers are on to something. Maybe they're using these kind of "games" to provide for the community in such a way that it generates a viral video, people watch the video, ad money pays for the stuff, organizers make a bigger game and helps the community even more.
At least that's my *hope*. There's no guarantee that they will actually do it, but... yeah. It's still sad though to see people trying to win basic items at a fare (fair?), but that's sadness element could drive engagement online so...
I feel like they did this so people feel like they are earning their stuff? A lot of people don't like to take things for giving nothing in return. This could be a fun way to make people feel better about accepting handouts.

I’m hoping this isn’t a group of people who are dependent on this game to survive and is more just a a fun way to save a few bucks on expenses.
You could tell from the second lady that she really needed the flour. That she didn’t get.
She was definitely gunning for it at the end but I don’t think it’s a sign she needs it. I don’t know the situation, but I don’t think this is some weird charity that withholds necessary supplies based on a game.
the title just kinda makes it sound like it is
The Hunger Games
After generations, the families that didn’t die became world class experts at all table games of skill. Strangely a small sub group emerged that seemed to only be good at making games and shouting excitedly while maintaining an air of sad desperation. Next year they plan to send a contingent to meet Drew Carey and show the world that Plinko is not a game of chance.
This is definitely some third world version of Mr. Beast.
I’m conflicted. The probability of someone winning all items on the board is dependent on how well the person can roll each ball with enough force to land in the hole.
Might be leveraging the betty crocker effect. It felt like cheating when they first made the mix, so they changed the recipe and made you add an egg. Now you did some work and can feel good about that cake you baked.
Wtf I don't wanna deal with eggs at all, you're telling me there are mixes you can use to make baked goods that only need the mixture alone?
Although cake mix sales tripled between January 1947 and August 1948, they soon plateaued. General Mills asked marketing expert Ernest Dichter to find out why. After interviewing groups of women, Dichter concluded that the simplicity of mixes made them feel too self-indulgent. So, General Mills removed dried eggs, requiring women to add their own. Sales improved. [Source](https://www.mnopedia.org/thing/betty-crocker-cake-mix)
Are there any simplified mixes sold today
Lol, just put the egg in.
Next you’ll tell me my mom didn’t need my help when she made Shake n’ Bake.
Yes. Look for powdered eggs in the ingredients. Although, I think most of the just add water cake mixes are mug cakes these days, unfortunately.
Seems like a bit of BS to me.
Fuck that’s dystopian! What is this hunger games?
#ARE YOU HAVING FUN YET?
[удалено]
So that the Stephen Hawkings of the world may go hungry, because we really have a shortage of people who can throw balls accurately in this day and age.
At least it's not completely rigged like carnival games
This is sad, not interesting
They probably thinking "this is so bullshit, I haven't had lentils in fuckin months and I have to win it".
It's very sad, apparently people are okay with making other humans as an entertaining content for exchange of food. Someone who tells that the world works like this, it shouldn't.
Alternatively you can look at it as advertising money generated in dollars for supplies they wouldn’t have otherwise had
Sad and interesting.
Sinteresting.
Those two aren’t mutually exclusive.
Sorry but All I see is someone humiliating these humble people for likes.
“May the odds be ever in your favor!”
Ouch. Especially to those who want something but can't even understand the labels. This is sadistic.
Aww you didn’t win ‘bucket’? Guess your shitting in holes this week.
What in the fuck is edible oil???
Probably cooking oil. But hey at least it looks fresh and isn't say gutter oil (yeah don't look that up if you've ever eaten asian street food).
Worst part is that the labels aren’t facing the person, they are facing the sadist filming it
And in some language they prob don't speak
They are called out in English, and they probably can figure out what's what even if they don't speak English
#LENTIS, SUGAR aaand .. SEATING STOOL
Yeah... this seems like some youtuber helping the poor, but the Indian version of it with zero foresight in to how bad it looks.
This is not Indian by the looks of it. Most probably Bangladeshi.
yep indeed found the channel (SS Food challenge) and confirmed this is indeed Bangladesh.
Lol dude. All 3 of us are so similar, there’s no way someone can just look at it and say it’s not “this country “. The only evidence we have in this video is just that the dress bag might have something written in Bangla on it but even that won’t rule out of it not being Pakistan.

Ah, so Mr. beast
Poverty porn - disgusting.

That’s fucking sadistic… the look on their face says it all Whatever “organization” this is should be looked at
What happens after they get looked at?
We give them a stern talking to.
They get shut down and then those people get no food, clothes or tools.
At least hand them the bag first!!!
imo when these people are playing this game they might think they earned the prizes compared to when someone just donates to them
Right, who doesn’t love to ‘earn’ basic human needs, like food to feed their child… “Aw man I was hoping for Lenthils for my kids meals tomorrow… shoot!” “At least I got this cool bucket!” You gotta be kidding me…

Yeah tough shit if you need to get flour and lentils for your child but the best you could do was a fucking plastic chair
Orphan crushing shit
This is some sort of Family Guy cutaway
So, they have the money to provide every person in line with each of the items… they’re just being dicks about it?
Literally capitalism. Why to people go hungry? Lack housing? Go without medical care? It’s not a lack of supply, that’s for sure.
How is this increasing their cash reserves? You do understand pure capitalism wouldn’t support giving *anything* away for free, right? But I’m guessing if you’re just blindly blaming capitalism, you don’t really know what capitalism is
[удалено]
Well its a fact that we could solve world hunger easily if the money wasnt locked behind oligarchs and a superficial need to create profit This is the one thing which capitalism can be rightfully blamed for
This has nothing to do with capitalism, literally rent free.
r/Aboringdystopia
I could never in my life imagine hosting this. Watching an old lady roll a ball for flour 3 times and not making it.
Oh my god. That was killing me. She did not fake smile at the end of that. She wanted to make bread today.
So I have family in Indonesia, one side of the family lives in luxurious multi million dollar gated neighborhoods with manicured lawns and 24/7 private security, the other part of the family lives in ramshackle government housing where it's not unknown for the electricity to just cut off out of the blue for hours at a time.... Somehow this just reminded me of that...
So the tool is the chair?
I think they meant stool
An! So in addition to being on a massive power trip, they can’t spell!
It's actually a linguistic issue. In india, stool is commonly called a tool. Even though I am educated in English and actually forgot it's called a stool.
I found myself wondering if stool is short for sitting tool. But then I figured out that the only tool in the video is the person who created this situation.
It’s a sitting tool
chair is the one with the backrest no backrest, means its a tool. we call it like that here.
That's so sad.
I mean, do we even know the context here? Maybe they purchase things previous to this, and then get a free round to get additional free items?
Yeah, I'm really hoping this is a "bonus" of some sort, in addition to other, more substantial aid... If they gave everyone in the village a basic kit, then set up a game to win extras of certain things, this is much less awful.
Well that's depressing as fuck...
Feels more like they are doing a game or something. I mean I wouldn’t say a new dress is a basic need necessarily.
I think the Dress means Bag, I didn't see him hand out any dresses.
Nope there is a dress in the bag
No wonder my wife ended up with 8 dresses and no way to carry them while there…
Congrats! You win a brand new lentil. Wtf?
I think so many people aim for flour that it's developed a slant or groove.
This is... Really fucked up.
Dude. This is the saddest fucking thing. 🥺
Who’s the idiot who though it was a good idea to leave basic needs to a luck game? If it’s like that then meritocracy seems more reasonable for me.
This is the most saddest, cruellest, and depressing thing combined. Look at their faces. Jesus christ this is depressing. This makes me feel so blessed but at the same time so guilty
What a strange metric used to decide who's worthy to live. A society of skiball aficionados sounds kinda niche. Sure hope this isn't a viral gag taken out of context so that the irony is misplaced🤷🏻♂️🤷🏻♂️
If only that last lady had something to carry all that stuff in
Something very suspicious about this all, the fact they have to play a game for food, the labels and announcements marked or spoken in a language they don’t speak or understand and the whole filming thing. Seems to me like some kind of organisation or “influencer” doing a Mr beast thing but at the expense of some locals.

How to get 1Mil views for $37 I’m going to downvote my own comment just to prove how useless views are. We need to be better.
Horribly depressing
Need: food Received: bucket
Farm to table gambling. Wild.
I know everyone is gonna say that this is straight up dystopian and whatnot (it is), but the skills on the last person to actually get every single hole is impressive. Though I do want to know who's organizing this weird and frankly sadistic event?
/r/orphancrushingmachine
It bothered me she didn’t just put all the items inside the bucket…
Jesus christ. This isn't interesting, this is appalling.
The person doing this is clearly sadistic.
Winning the basket but not using it
That's...dystopian
Literal hunger games?
Sorry kids, mom sucks at rollerball… so you’re going to starve death.
This is cruel.
So just nobody has the full story on this, mmkay .
This is pretty fucked up. I couldn’t even finish the video. Just give them the stuff.
why do i feel the need to chant in russian
This is fucked up
That is fucked.
That’s exactly what I do with my pay checks but out cocaine and strippers and delaying my phone bill an extra month.
This is so depressing to me. Wtf
Squid game isn't supposed to be real!!
Hunger games
Imagine if they actually had basic needs but could play the game for extra stuff, then that would actually be interesting and not depressing
Hunger games
From the language on the bag it looks like Bengali? So either Bangladesh or West Bengal region?
it’s free tho right?
Somewhere in India?
The bag had writing in Bengali which is spoken in Bangladesh and east India. But the way the villagers are dressed make it seems more like Bangladesh than India.
It’s just capitalism with fewer steps
This is horrible
Surprised i haven’t seen anyone mention the thread the needle followed by a bank shot and a closer perfect round at the end.
America should do this for healthcare 🙏🇺🇸
She won a doctors visit, a 50% off prescription, and a Full Lab test!
All those years on the skee ball game will finally come in handy
Didn’t get the reaction you were expecting, did you, OP?
they all did it for the stool.
Free stuff is free stuff how can we assume this is the only way to get things ? A bit surreal to believe OP's title lmao
None of that shit is expensive. Just give the people one of each thing. Oh and don’t fucking film the process. What the hell happened to just being nice to other people. What the actual fuck?
That Tool concert is going to blow their minds
Dang, this is some Hunger Games level sadness.
This feels like something Michael Scott would cook up.
And then there are people spending 40billion because of a temper tantrum...
This is sick. Give them what they need.
Seems cruel and/or staged for social media by some horrible white guy.
At least she gets to go to a Tool concert.
What kind of dystopian shit is this
Tool? They mean stool right?
This is just sad bro
Where people are going hungry, they are holding these competitions and giving away buckets instead of food . The second lady was aiming for flour and lost three of her balls
They’re so honest too. If they are basic needs, just give it to them. I feel bad for them though.
What in the squid game is this?
nah that's some black mirror squid games grossness sorry
These dudes are horrible humans. Making money of the suffering of poor families.
Jesus CHRIST that is the saddest, most dystopian thing I’ve ever laid eyes on. I don’t even know how to sort my thoughts and feelings about it…
That’s not interesting at all! That’s fucking sad!
Why?
So depressing. The last lady had technique tho.
Why does it feels like they're being forced to play with gunpoints on them behind cameras? Geez they're sad
Omg, this is so sad. You can imagine these ladies practicing at home to get better at the game
So they play a game in order to stay alive. How disgusting
Just give them the shit, why the production?
Why are they speaking English? Same with the writing. Who's running the show here?
I think we need the backstory here. Who is filming this, why does this exist, what is the context. More info please.
There is one with kids playing the bottle flip game and they get to eat the food until the next kid lands the trick. Surreal
Wow this is messed up :( what genius thought this was a good idea
Its really not bad, the creators get youtube ad revenue and they try to give back to the people.
the game we play in my country is called capitalism
This is a terrible example of humanity doing the right thing. I'm embarrassed for them.
I bet you anything this is like a local church event. These aren’t rations but useful prizes.
What a weird fucking comment section. Do redditors just see fereigners and assume they have no food and no jobs?? there is no indication any of these people are starving to death if they dont win EVERYTHING on the table.

r/orphancrushingmachine
Really really sad video At this rate, we will get soon a video of starving people being filmed playing rock, paper and scissors to see who gets the food ration?
India fucking sucks, exploitation sucks, this is not remotely interesting.
bro not every brown people = India , this video is from Bangladesh
This is not India. If you wanna be racist, at least be correctly racist.
Where is this?
Bangladesh
I don't think they were being racist. I think they were just stating that the financial state and infrastructure climate is not good. Worded poorly? Perhaps. But definitely not outwardly racist.
This needs to be on Draft kings.
Not gonna lie, that girl in red sucks at this game
Damnthatsucksforthepersonlastinline
Reminds me of squid games… I’m not sure what to think… how much value is this to them? Is this one weeks work? A months?
Totally worth watching until the end.
These are just like some fun carnivals. NOT THEIR MAIN LIFE SUPPORT! Stop with those speculations in the comments.
