8th for me. Can confirm otherwise, though.

There are less than 300k people named Cody in the US

It's just not a very popular name

A disproportionate number of them become NFL quarterbacks. Who then end up playing for the Cleveland Browns, which kills them.

[–] TankovayaDiviziya@lemmy.world 4 points 10 hours ago

The real name of Youtuber Alternate History hub is Cody, and he is probably in his Thirty's by now.

[–] Wolf@lemmy.today 5 points 10 hours ago

My uncle's name is Cody, he is 39. Unfortunately no one has strangled him yet. 🤞

[–] AeonFelis@lemmy.world 21 points 17 hours ago (2 children)

That's because when they grow up it is no longer acceptable to use that nickname and they go by Codward instead.

[–] fibojoly@sh.itjust.works 3 points 4 hours ago

I thought it was Codsworth

[–] FooBarrington@lemmy.world 8 points 15 hours ago (1 children)

That's an Irish name and it's pronounced "Doug".

[–] Almacca@aussie.zone 9 points 15 hours ago

Cody's Showdy.

[–] douz0a0bouz@midwest.social 17 points 19 hours ago

I have a cousin named Cody... that I haven't seen since high school 🤔🤔🤔😯

[–] gAlienLifeform@lemmy.world 82 points 1 day ago (2 children)

live news person / world's hairiest seventh grader reaction

[–] NatakuNox@lemmy.world 14 points 22 hours ago

Turn out the only alive adult Cody is locked away in a room with only fox news and the communist Manifesto as info... For his safety of course

[–] DragonTypeWyvern@midwest.social 25 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Cody's Showdy gets no respect.

I think it's consistently good occasionally great, and they crank out a lot of content (like besides weekly videos they do podcasts multiple times a week)

e; Oh, the show is called Some More News and the podcast is Even More News btw

[–] Lifecoach5000@lemmy.world 8 points 23 hours ago

I was made aware of his stuff after one of his appearances on the Behind The Bastards podcast. Some More News is good stuff!

[–] CosmicTurtle0@lemmy.dbzer0.com 4 points 23 hours ago (1 children)

It's similar in terms of detail to Last Week Tonight but not as funny.

[–] Oni_eyes@sh.itjust.works 3 points 11 hours ago

It does get a lot more information and nuance though. Last week tonight only runs once a week. I don't know that Last Week Tonight cites all of their sources for each episode like Some More News does.

[–] Fingolfinz@lemmy.world 2 points 13 hours ago (1 children)

Damn..the one Cody I knew committed suicide and it was before 34

[–] faintwhenfree@lemmus.org 1 points 10 hours ago

No way a bloke on my street named Cody died in car accident at the ripe age of 33. Conspiracy is real. /s

The few codys I've met all wound up in logistics and/warehousing

[–] Goretantath@lemmy.world 16 points 21 hours ago (1 children)

Isnt there a youtuber called codyslab? He looks pretty old.

[–] boonhet@lemm.ee 5 points 21 hours ago (1 children)

WhistlinDiesel is in his 20s too. Though portrays himself as having the intelligence of a 7th grader, so maybe that got him alived

[–] ChickenLadyLovesLife@lemmy.world 1 points 9 hours ago (1 children)

Uh, is that really a "portrayal"? Dude hangs out with Jake Paul.

[–] boonhet@lemm.ee 1 points 8 hours ago* (last edited 8 hours ago)

Dude is a millionaire in his 20s and got there by destroying expensive cars he needs to buy first. He's got at least 2 businesses besides YouTube that he uses his videos to advertise for, because destroying increasingly expensive cars is not sustainable and he knows it.

I can't stand some of his recent videos either, but to call him stupid is definitely an overstatement. Not saying he's a genius, but he must have at least average intelligence to have gotten to where he is.

To the best of my knowledge, he didn't exactly grow up with money either. He was pretty poor when he started making videos

[–] NinePeedles@sh.itjust.works 40 points 1 day ago (1 children)

I had a friend named Cody who was a straight A student, changed schools in 7th grade, fell in with a bad group of kids, got into a car accident, fell into a coma, lost site in one eye, and now coaches snowboarding. Not dead, though

[–] misterdoctor@lemmy.world 14 points 1 day ago

Not dead, though

Yes dead inside doesn’t count

[–] chrisbtoo@lemmy.ca 20 points 1 day ago (2 children)

That's because Cody is short for Come On Die Young.

[–] Crackhappy@lemmy.world 3 points 19 hours ago (1 children)

Cum Once Die Young

[–] slacktoid@lemmy.ml 29 points 1 day ago (2 children)

Wait what about Doctor Mister Cody?

[–] hperrin@lemmy.ca 12 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Warmbo is actually his bodyguard, and the corn cream is actually antidote.

[–] slacktoid@lemmy.ml 6 points 1 day ago

Now we know why. It all makes sense. It's all a ploy to get his bodyguard paid in plain sight.

[–] misterdoctor@lemmy.world 8 points 1 day ago (2 children)

Thought you were talking to me for a second

[–] slacktoid@lemmy.ml 8 points 1 day ago (1 children)

No no you are Mister doctor Cody

[–] misterdoctor@lemmy.world 9 points 1 day ago

omg I’m so embarrassed you’re right

Oh we're using our superhero names? I'm Spider-Man.

I managed a Cody whom I called Codeine because he was a such a dope. 30ish, sold himself as a technician. In a car shop, pulled a ceiling mounted air hose over the left front fender to fill the rear tire, scratched the paint badly from the gritty hose. Left the bosses rolling stool under the alignment lift and heard plywood cracking as he lowered it, didn’t bother stopping until it was flat. Found out a week later he left the tierod nuts loose after adjustment. Left a flathead screwdriver in his back pocket and popped a hole in the customer seat. Worked one full day, sent home at lunch the next day with a full days pay, worth the price to get rid of him.

[–] DeceasedPassenger@lemmy.world 26 points 1 day ago (1 children)

I was thinking that was dude's first month from the way you were describing it. One day?! He's like a walking condom advertisement!

Got a nickname like that in a day and a half.

[–] lightnsfw@reddthat.com 3 points 19 hours ago

I knew a Cody grade but I don't have any memories of him after that. Theory checks out..m

[–] some_guy@lemmy.sdf.org 11 points 1 day ago

Or switches to their middle name to avoid the shame of being "Cody."

[–] Blackout@fedia.io 11 points 1 day ago (1 children)

They usually change it back to Cod Liver Oil when they become adults

[–] Genius@lemmy.zip 1 points 17 hours ago

What about the tuna booze oil?

[–] deegeese@sopuli.xyz 7 points 1 day ago

Nah, Cody teaches jujitsu at my kids’ afterschool program and looks to be in his early 30’s.
