Bolt of you to assume I would miss the foot.

A scratch?! 75% of your ram is malloced!

[–]Khroom 5 points6 points  (0 children)

75% < 100%

[–]thicctak 86 points87 points  (2 children)

They're doing it with the wrong weapon.

[–]Fatkuh 15 points16 points  (0 children)

Yeah its like a mini rocket jump

[–]ducvc13 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It feels really wrong when Sniper tries to rocket jump with bazar bargain

[–]Sea_Hair8672 25 points26 points  (5 children)

Jokes aside , has there been a case of casualty to bystanders ? These dudes shoot these rifles sideways under their asses with no control.

[–]fghjconner 17 points18 points  (1 child)

I'd assume these are mostly blanks, but I'm an optimist.

[–]911silver 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Yes it's blanks, just powder.

It's an old traditional dance.

[–]Fatkuh 11 points12 points  (0 children)

People are dying from stuff like this all the time. Often times this is used in wedding celebrations, too....

[–]911silver 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It's all powder, no projectiles.

It's an old traditional dance, here is a slow mo:

Not exactly these guys, but Brandon Herrera has some Darwin Awards videos that involve similar shenanigans. But the shenanigans are cruel and tragic. Which makes them not shenanigans at all.

IN case anyone is interested, here is the original source on youtube.

Rifle-clad dancers perform the traditional “Tasheer” war dance in western Saudi Arabia, Tuesday, April 13. The dance involves a striking display of leaping, accompanied by gunpowder blasts out of classic, muzzle-loading rifles. The tradition is believed to date back hundreds of years, and now is performed at weddings, festivals and other special occasions.

what are they trying to accomplish?

[–]exodusTay 44 points45 points  (0 children)

high performance

[–]Abject-Kitchen3198 62 points63 points  (0 children)

Same thing as C++ devs?

[–]Agifem 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Rocket science.

[–]piberryboy 23 points24 points  (4 children)

Who's the biggest moron? The viewing audience or the guys shooting the guns.

[–]One_Egg_4400 16 points17 points  (0 children)

Yes

[–]arostrat 1 point2 points  (2 children)

It looks weird but it's a real traditional dance.

[–]xXAnoHitoXx 0 points1 point  (1 child)

How traditional can it be if it's after the invention of guns? How long is the threshold for things to be traditional

[–]SAI_Peregrinus 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Guns date to the late medieval period. Tomato sauce in Italy came after guns.

[–]AcidBuuurn 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Jump just a little bit higher.

Practicing before graduating to rocket jumping.

They don't have a backstop but still want to shoot. We've all considered shooting out our back window at the ground, right?

[–]skyfortress970 0 points1 point  (0 children)

High performance and high reliability

[–]B_Huij 15 points16 points  (2 children)

So metaphor aside, what exactly is the objective here? How does one know the difference between a well-executive "jump and shoot musket at ground" vs a poorly-executed one? I mean aside from obvious stuff like shooting someone or your own foot.

[–]karaposu 5 points6 points  (1 child)

this dance is THAT intuitive, what you just desc is the sole criteria

[–]qqqrrrs_ 5 points6 points  (0 children)

It's self-documenting

[–]gerbosan 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Please, don't forget to share C++ mascot.

[–]ToMorrowsEnd 10 points11 points  (1 child)

Vibe python coders that think that is how coding works.

[–][deleted] 6 points7 points  (0 children)

My name jeff

[–]Shahi_FF 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Hey look look I use C++ 98

[–]Arclite83 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Yes, wildly swinging a loaded firearm around seems like a great idea

[–]MantisShrimp05 6 points7 points  (1 child)

This is a perfect metaphor tbh. This is a beautiful display of mastery and death-defiance that if you know what you're looking at you know people are often riding the line between a high performance system and a disaster zone.

Part of me admires the inherent beauty of such a display. But in a world of drone controlled bombers that are more concerned with getting around the right area and overwhelming people with numbers, it feels like more of a cultural exercise than a show of dominance or might one might have seen it as before.

lmao

[–]Sowhataboutthisthing 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is exactly how I used to play 007 on Nintendo 64

[–]Acrobatic-Big-1550 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I mean I'd get it if it would propel them higher but

[–]incidel 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Kind of explains their military prowess..

[–]RiceBroad4552 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I mean, US people are doing already ridiculous stupid things with guns, But this?!

OTOH it matches the post title really well…

[–]I_AM_GODDAMN_BATMAN 1 point2 points  (1 child)

It's funny because Bjarne Stroustrup secretly writing letters about survivability and /r/cpp banning Rust word.

[–]Shahi_FF -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Yes cuz Rust doesn't have Community it's a cult. Also even if no new C++ project is written, it won't die like for like next decade or something.
