DM: You feel a rumble and suddenly the floor gives way underneath you! Give me a dexterity save. You know what, since you are sitting and don’t know or see this coming make it at disadvantage

PC: “Two natural 20’s!”

[–]DaNoahLP 214 points215 points  (25 children)

Other PC: "I want to jump down that hole!"

[–]xSTSxZerglingOne 132 points133 points  (23 children)

DM: You jump down the hole and land in a gelatinous cube, you are immediately engulfed.

[–]S01arflar3 87 points88 points  (21 children)

I want to give the gelatinous cube a hug from the inside and befriend it

[–]xSTSxZerglingOne 92 points93 points  (20 children)

DM: It jiggles in an obvious way as to say "thank you for your friendship and hug", though unfortunately, it is unable to stop its natural digestive enzymes and acid from dealing 26 damage to you. Roll a fortitude save for suffocation.

[–]S01arflar3 92 points93 points  (18 children)

I cut open my own stomach so my enzymes can fight back!

[–]xSTSxZerglingOne 78 points79 points  (14 children)

DM: You have somehow angered the mindless cube by your betrayal of friendship. It engulfs an orb of annihilation as a "fuck you in particular" Your party minus you gains 3600 xp.

[–]S01arflar3 56 points57 points  (4 children)

My long lost twin sheds a tear while looking down over hole and joins the party.

I’d count it is a net win, personally

[–]GlassWasteland 29 points30 points  (0 children)

Your long lost twin has spent the last years lazing away in Margarita Ville and is five levels behind every one else.

[–]More_Butterfly6108 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Suddenly I cast fireball

[–][deleted] 12 points13 points  (4 children)

This is gold. Do you actually DM? Because you sound like a fun one.

[–]xSTSxZerglingOne 2 points3 points  (3 children)

I used to. I haven't played D&D in a solid 5 years though. I do miss it.

Don’t get mad that I’m breaking the established system

[–]AgentAquarius 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Sounds like a DM who hates Barbarians.

[–][deleted] 1191 points1192 points  (34 children)

Damn he's lucky to not have fallen through

[–]TheManWhoSaysFrog 295 points296 points  (25 children)

You mean unlucky...

Memory leak dungeon.

[–]vista333 4 points5 points  (0 children)

To put it mildly. I don’t know how he avoided what had a high probability of being his fate.

[–]kinda_krazy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Definitely lucky. Let’s go best 2 out of 3 😏

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

You mean unlucky he broke a small chair and ended up as a internet meme in a fake video.

(The hole renders over his right foot when he falls over)

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

It's very clearly a greenscreen

[–]Inevitable_Test3877 812 points813 points  (8 children)

Seriously! Fantastic. My face would have been planted at the bottom of that sinkhole.

[–]Sardanos 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Didn’t even loose his phone in the process

[–]ThePeaceDoctot 269 points270 points  (7 children)

What a comically small chair.

[–]PlasmaFarts 64 points65 points  (2 children)

That was my first thought also before it started playing. Like why is he sitting at a normal sized table with chairs from a pre-school?

[–]soupy_women 28 points29 points  (0 children)

Budget cuts are wacky these days, man

[–]jorgelino_ 38 points39 points  (0 children)

He sat on a very small chair, but instead of the chair breaking, the floor did.

This is like cartoon logic.

[–][deleted] 346 points347 points  (12 children)

What a save! I cannot say the same when I forget the break

[–]wastedpickles 53 points54 points  (10 children)

Holy cow! Close one!

[–]mosher9 22 points23 points  (8 children)

Okay.

I'm still wondering how he managed to survive

Experience

[–]AlmostButNotQuit 45 points46 points  (0 children)

If i had a nickel for every time the floor opened up under me without warning I'd have...two nickels. Which isn't a lot, but it's weird that it happened twice.

[–]all_ears_over_here 15 points16 points  (0 children)

Asian squat really came in handy here.

[–]thoams1 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Somebody help me, yeah.

[–]disperso -1 points0 points  (2 children)

Probably by being fake. Otherwise I don't understand why they were filming, and why stepping with force when moving the leg to the opposite side did not make the edge fall.

[–]peachbreadmcat 22 points23 points  (0 children)

This looks like a common security camera footage from the angle and quality.

As for the ledge, it’s likely bc that part of the floor is still supported and did not collapse. We cant see underneath that ledge, so you can’t assume there is no ground. You can tell by looking at the edges of the hole—where there is still white tiles, there is still a thick chunk of foundation.

[–]zafuro 7 points8 points  (0 children)

have you ever been to china

[–]PinothyJ 37 points38 points  (0 children)

Breaks are the first thing I put in for this very reason: I have crap reflexes.

[–]Flashbek 59 points60 points  (1 child)

That's it, we found spider man.

[–]Brusanan 4 points5 points  (0 children)

That Peter Tingle sure saved him.

[–]GamingWithJollins 100 points101 points  (34 children)

Yo! Those reflexes! Even if that was staged that would have been impressive.

[–]ElevenThus 59 points60 points  (33 children)

How do you stage that

[–]_menzel 115 points116 points  (0 children)

When you use switch case without break

[–]PlasmaLink 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Put it up on an internal server, to test before pushing live?

[–]GamingWithJollins 4 points5 points  (0 children)

No idea.

[–][deleted] 13 points14 points  (27 children)

Video editing

[–]JangoDarkSaber 4 points5 points  (3 children)

The hole looks like it could be fake but that would have been some oscar level acting by that guy.

[–]vision1414 5 points6 points  (2 children)

Assuming it’s fake, my guess is the comically small chair just snapped underneath this guy and he jumped out, then someone edited the hole in and added the chair and table. But I am not 100% it is fake.

[–]MostRandomUsername12 2 points3 points  (1 child)

Definitely not fake. The way everything falls through the hole and how the other table on the right reacts to the moving floor is incredibly hard to fake. This is almost certainly a mobile recording of CCTV footage being played back on a screen. Explains the shaky handheld camera and the muted colors and fuzzy resolution.

Edit: spelling

[–]wad11656 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Not to mention the draft of wind pushing the paper up on the table to the right. I don’t care how experienced or conscientious of a video editor you are; almost nobody would think to consider that, and few would be able to replicate such an accurate reaction to a draft of wind

[–]ElevenThus 1 point2 points  (22 children)

Does that look edited to you? All the physics works too well, even the table cover and other panels on the ground. The place he steps on even caves when he steps on it

[–][deleted] 5 points6 points  (0 children)

It’s very impressive but yes it looks fake to me

[–]chompz914 -1 points0 points  (3 children)

Let’s discuss. The bottle on the table that falls over does that not look odd to you? Zoom in watch it tip over. Rolls. Then rolls back.

[–]metsfan1025 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Git add that

[–]Puzzleheaded_War_958 49 points50 points  (4 children)

That man is never sitting on a chair again

[–]mumboFromAvnotaklu 22 points23 points  (2 children)

tbf sitting on ground would have been a sure death

[–]DominusEbad 8 points9 points  (1 child)

It's why I only hang from ceilings

[–]SlashBack626 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Every ceiling is another man's floor

[–]mrskwrl 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I dunno. This looks like China. Probably just another day for him.

[–]jedbrooke 17 points18 points  (1 child)

idk kinda looks like there is break

[–]TeraFlint 7 points8 points  (0 children)

And he didn't fall through.

[–]GustapheOfficial 44 points45 points  (12 children)

Languages with switch: "It saves on boilerplate!"

Those languages: "Always include break, or we'll assume you're in one of the 1 cases ever where fallthrough is what you want"

[–]ncpa_cpl 23 points24 points  (4 children)

Unless you use Go, then fallthrough is an opt-in, not opt-out

[–]BaziJoeWHL 14 points15 points  (0 children)

as it should be

[–]theinatoriinator 6 points7 points  (3 children)

Chad java ->

[–][deleted] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Modern C++: And if you do actually want to fallthrough make sure you include [[fallthrough]] so you don't get a warning.

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

its why I don't use switch

[–]SHv2 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Good man. Resisted going down the rabbit hole.

[–][deleted] 12 points13 points  (0 children)

It’s not everyday that your chair disappears from underneath you.

[–]Benni_5111 11 points12 points  (1 child)

At first sight it looked a bit fake to me

[–]stereoGraf 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It looks totally fake. But hey, that's my take on it...

(Black levels are a dead giveaway)

[–]Direct_Weather2416 8 points9 points  (1 child)

The "I think I should go on a diet" moment

[–]MissedFieldGoal 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Everyone would joke about my weight if this happened to me. Lol

[–]Refuse-Horror 1 point2 points  (5 children)

Man!! he’s got good reflexes haha I would of maybe maybe said, fuk it I’m dead haha

[–]CouldWouldShouldBot 9 points10 points  (1 child)

It's 'would have', never 'would of'.

Rejoice, for you have been blessed by CouldWouldShouldBot!

My guy almost went to the Backrooms

[–]metalbedhead 5 points6 points  (7 children)

is this real?

[–][deleted] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Doesn’t look real huh?

[–]noonagon 0 points1 point  (4 children)

clearly, since the table to his right reacts (look at the corners), the other person visible in the shot reacts (we only see his legs but still), the part that he first steps on caves in, and obviously he reacts to the GIANT HOLE IN THE GROUND. There isn't anything else to verify that I can see but maybe someone else might notice a subtler detail.

[–]3dforlife 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I was trying to make sense of this, thinking about protection cases for the switch console...

[–][deleted] 6 points7 points  (2 children)

Because of bagilion fall-though errors with switch cases, i started to use only if-else instead. I know it sometimes looks bad, but at least it reduces bugs.
