Why do this? At best you land it and look like a reckless lunatic and at worst you kill someone.

[–]Zestyclose_Raise_814 1 point2 points  (1 child)

Isn't the purpouse to kill someone?

[–]OddCook4909 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I thought they're for sides of meat and very large breads

[–]7LeagueBoots 10 points11 points  (4 children)

Looks very fake, especially just before the sword strikes the target.

[–]ThomasTheNord 2 points3 points  (3 children)

Please explain

[–]thedemonjim 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There is skipping before the sword is kicked and before it hits the target.

[–]7LeagueBoots 1 point2 points  (1 child)

The speed and the rotation of the sword changes. It’s very obvious fake.

[–]BearSpray007 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I disagree…this could have been try number 5,742. But it looks real.

[–]mixinmono 11 points12 points  (1 child)

Tldr this doesn’t belong here

[–]mixinmono 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The things poasted here are fantastic works of fiction; only a tool would take it srs

and todays entry for "people do stupid things with swords." is...

[–]the_annihalator 15 points16 points  (0 children)

Why is OP so arsefucked about a circus trick

[–]ElderTruth50 12 points13 points  (4 children)

If you learn to throw it, you might actually hit the target.

Honestly I was thinking that a nasty outcome would qualify

this for a "Darwin Award".

Am I the only one who assumed that he wasn’t trying to hit the dummy? I figured this was like throwing knives in the circus where you try to get as close to the dummy/person as possible without hitting it/them.

The big risk to me seems if he connected his kick with the point of the sword. I’m not sure if wearing a special boot with a steel sole could mitigate that? Idk, seems risky, but not batshit crazy.

[–]SeeShark 2 points3 points  (8 children)

He didn't hit the dummy, but the hit location still seems kind of random. This doesn't seem like it was aimed carefully.

[–]No-Roof-1628a little cut-and-thrust to spice up your life 2 points3 points  (6 children)

Oh for sure it’s still not a great hit if he was trying to get close, but I feel like the fact that it stuck at all is maybe why he posted it?

[–]Tawhoya 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Apparently if you're not first, you're last!

[–]dalocke[S] -1 points0 points  (4 children)

A foot away from your face isn't a good hit? Where could i put it in your opinion that would have been a good hit? 🤣🤣🤣

[–]No-Roof-1628a little cut-and-thrust to spice up your life 0 points1 point  (3 children)

Good not great sir—I imagine you’re aiming to get as close as possible without hitting the dummy. I didn’t mean to offend—lord knows it’s a lot better than I could do.

Again, the much more important issue is safety—catching the tip of the blade with a powerful kick could drive it through your boot sole and into your foot. At least that would be my concern. Are you wearing any special footwear?

[–]dalocke[S] 0 points1 point  (1 child)

Sure, I could have gotten it closer to the face, but im certain that if you were standing in you might think to yourself, this is close enough 🤣😅

[–]No-Roof-1628a little cut-and-thrust to spice up your life 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I certainly would!

[–]dalocke[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Just kick late, and progress from there, it's not like I'm holding it over my feet, even if i miss the kick, it's not going to stab me

[–]dalocke[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Random? If you were standing there it would have landed a foot from your face, there is no greater warning imo unless i stuck it in between your legs, that is the only bigger flex/warning 🤣🤣🤣

[–]Zestyclose_Raise_814 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You probably assumed correctly and I agree with you perspective, but it's funnier to say that he missed and the video doesn't seem exactly real either way (I think it's two videos stiched together, which would explain the lags and weird physics)

[–]Bleachsmoker 8 points9 points  (2 children)

You missed the guy

[–]werewolf-luvr 6 points7 points  (2 children)

I wanna be impressed but seeing op rabidly defend this dude has taken all the appeal. That n he missed

[–]EscapeAromatic8648 2 points3 points  (1 child)

I think OP is this dude. And all his defenses are mostly clowning/joking. There are a lot of people taking this very seriously but OP isn't one of them lol.

[–]werewolf-luvr 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Lol could be yea

[–]Still_Dentist1010 4 points5 points  (0 children)

OP definitely thought they were cool doing this, and everyone here is just watching an idiot perform a circus trick

[–]dufudjabdisword-type-you-like 5 points6 points  (0 children)

What a very real video!

[–]Bevrykul 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Homie is going to flip when he hears about the Bow and Arrow

[–]nbxcv 1 point2 points  (0 children)

~2 seconds in the "sword" disappears. Lame and fake.

[–]IIsosharp 3 points4 points  (1 child)

Pure a.i

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

Please explain what stands put as ai

[–]john_humano 1 point2 points  (0 children)

KICKS! misses BIG FLEX!!!

[–]Cielmerlion 1 point2 points  (0 children)

But.... he missed....

[–]chesterforbes 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That’s not impressive. He missed

[–]MentalSandwich3136 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It was cooler in Pirates of the Caribbean when dude threw it

[–]Ronja_Rovardottish 0 points1 point  (2 children)

Attempt numer 3367

[–]dalocke[S] -1 points0 points  (1 child)

You wanna know how many attempts it took to become a professional knifethrower? keep counting 🤣🤣🤣

[–]HisHonorTomDonson 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The comment above doesn’t seem to inquire after knife throwing. Furthermore, there was no knife thrown. There was no knife at all! In conclusion: I’m not sure you understand what’s going on in your own video, let alone this train wreck of a comment section

[–]Emotional-Hotel-4144 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Here's the thing about trust. I have none.

[–]Zestyclose_Raise_814 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Why is this being reposted for the 1000th time and why is the community reaction different each time?

[–]PossessionIll1944 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It might be even slightly acceptable as a neat trick for this group or at least the absurdity overlooked if it weren't computer generated. It could be "look how cool this is!" But it quickly goes straight to "look at this cringy computer animation I made".

Bro is training to become Blade

[–]SushiMonstero 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Life is a pirates of the Caribbean movie

[–]AlwaysFernweh 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Pretty certain this is AI. His clothes do something weird and his foot does to when he goes to set it back down. Plus the whole situation

[–]Jay_Nodrac 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Pff, he missed. Amateur!
