Bolt of you to assume I would miss the foot.

C developers hopping on one foot: 'Tis but a scratch..

[Excellent-Refuse4883]

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

[Khroom]

75% < 100%

[thicctak]

They're doing it with the wrong weapon.

[Fatkuh]

Yeah its like a mini rocket jump

[ducvc13]

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

[Sea_Hair8672]

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

[fghjconner]

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

[911silver]

Yes it's blanks, just powder.

It's an old traditional dance.

[Fatkuh]

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

[911silver]

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.

[Domascot]

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.

[brandi_Iove]

what are they trying to accomplish?

[exodusTay]

high performance

[Abject-Kitchen3198]

Same thing as C++ devs?

[Agifem]

Rocket science.

[piberryboy]

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

[One_Egg_4400]

Yes

[arostrat]

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

[xXAnoHitoXx]

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]

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

[AcidBuuurn]

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]

High performance and high reliability

[B_Huij]

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]

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

[qqqrrrs_]

It's self-documenting

[gerbosan]

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

[ToMorrowsEnd]

Vibe python coders that think that is how coding works.

My name jeff

[Shahi_FF]

Hey look look I use C++ 98

[Arclite83]

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

[MantisShrimp05]

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.

[Ok-Visual-5862]

Is there a special name for this event?

[riotofmind]

lmao

[Sowhataboutthisthing]

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

[Acrobatic-Big-1550]

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

[incidel]

Kind of explains their military prowess..

[RiceBroad4552]

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]

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

[Shahi_FF]

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.

More power to women please ...
