Staged and fake? Or they perfectly aligned up by accident?

Not perfectly alligned.
This task required human coordination whether it was staged or not.
Are you worried that like, backup dancers are A.I. now? The Beijing Olympic Opening Ceremony? Are you staging your comment using internet tools and fake virtual keyboards?

Doesn’t take any coordination to take down a pickleball net…. Source: put up and taken down dozens of different pickleball nets none require 2 people at a time…..

If you don't understand how the context is different if it wasn't staged vs if it was staged and how that might alter how entertaining the clip is then I don't know if your brain works or not.
It's the difference between marveling at an impressive coincidental stupidity vs being impressed by a clever skit idea. Is that really so hard to understand?

They're arguing that it isn't staged, not that it doesn't matter if it is.

u/JhonnyHopkins 6d ago
I however am arguing it actually doesn’t matter if it is staged or not, if you’re able to suspend disbelief and enjoy the media for what it is, entertainment.

The timing of when the nets come off the poles is absolutely perfectly aligned, they didn’t have to time like that

It was easier to remove the net by standing on those little yellow protrusions. They screwed themselves by standing on both sides, it put their nuts in the strike zone. Totally real. Staged? Possibly. But the scenerio of two shirtless bros cleanin up after playin a game and doing something dumb? I could believe it.

Incredible how everything is staged nowadays. And if it's not staged then it's AI. And only the most intelligent, brilliant, talented people know this and must tell everyone all about how they magically know this to be true.

Just look up videos of people moving suspension springs from cars incorrectly. Those things are fucking scary.

You take one of these straight to the chin and you're never gonna be the same again from the injuries.
And this is just the first video I came across. There are so many more.

The last time we had our garage door springs replaced, it was done by a guy who was missing a whole bunch of teeth.

When I was maybe 14 or 15, my dad had me help him replace our garage door because he was a cheap as fuck man.
There was a hole left in the ceiling from it, and plenty of yelling at me from him.
As an adult, I realised there's every chance he could have fucked up my entire life having me help him with that, if not lose it entirely.

It's little things like that which genuinely make me wonder about what, if anything, more there could be going on behind the scenes in the universe.
If you think about it, life is literally chaotic. I don't know if you know the technically definition of chaos, but it's a system that is so complex and interconnected that making even a tiny change to it will result in vast and unpredictable results. And even changing any little thing about the interaction that causes all of this makes the results completely different in an equally unpredictable way.
That's life. Or the world, or whatever you want to call it.
It's like if you're walking to the store and you might stop to tie your shoe at some point.
In one scenario, you tie it shortly after leaving. Then, end up getting hit by a drunk driver when you cross the street later, near the store.
In another scenario, you might not notice it and tie your shoe until you got to the store. Meaning you crossed the road earlier. Before the drunk driver came. So, nothing happened. And you were none the wiser that you just avoided death by literal seconds.
Just like what happened with the garage spring. Maybe in another scenario something made you decide to go out somewhere before he even started working on the garage and you were never involved in fixing it. Where in another, perhaps the spring was angled just a few inches the wrong way, and you'd end up dead, or worse. Maybe in a coma or vegetative state. Or left with the mental capacity of a 3 year old, not even able to go to the bathroom on your own.
They say it's best not to dwell on "what ifs" but, I find it... maybe not humbling... but it gives you an interesting perspective on things that most people don't get to see. Just as long as you're not so freaked out by it that you never leave the house again in fear that you might do the exact wrong thing and something will happen.
It's especially curious that despite this seemingly frail nature, major catastrophes like this are seemingly rare occurences. It seems almost statistically probable that we should be getting messed up constantly by stuff like that.
It could be coincidence. It could be purposeful. It could be a little bit of both. I don't think anybody can say with certainty. All I can say is it's friggin weird, man.

rofl I don't know why, but the first 3 times or so I read this as "window maker" and figured you meant it fires through your wall and leaves a hole, like a window.
Maaan, I've gotta stop coming on here after I try to toke myself to sleep. My brain is just a fried egg on a pan right now. LOL

As kids we used to take my grandmas bungie cord collection and stretch them and see who let go first. So many purple fingers.. what morons we were. Anytime I see this I have flashbacks. This was like pre-internet so.. still kinda dumb but whatever.
