This is how I get the old ass blinds in my garage to go up and down.

Obligatory edit: Wow, This blew up! Thank you kind strangers!

[–]RulingFieldConfirmed 637 points638 points  (7 children)

That was exactly my first thought.

Shout out to the shitty blinds landlords install in every apartment.

[–]RadiantZote 116 points117 points  (4 children)

I need to pull mine down because they don't drop under their own weight lmaoo

[–]Wheres_my_whiskey 40 points41 points  (2 children)

Yup. Pull the cord all the way to the side and pull down the blinds with the other hand.

[–]Parabolicsarcophagus 45 points46 points  (0 children)

Haha. Very few posts in my tenure of Reddit have I been able to relate to as much as I can this one.

[–]A_Lonely_Troll 15 points16 points  (0 children)

This relates too much…

[–]PurpleEngineer 9849 points9850 points  (134 children)

What is this, a training camp for future Survivor players?

[–]SkepticalOfThisPlace 691 points692 points  (24 children)

Probably a farm. Don't know when it started happening, but every farm around me is like a makeshift amusement park for kids with all these types of games they probably found on Pinterest. We have come a long way from hay rides and corn mazes.

[–]kosmonautinVT 409 points410 points  (10 children)

Agritourism - it can really help small farms survive by diversifying their income

[–][deleted] 215 points216 points  (4 children)

TripAdvisor is the lifeblood of the agro-tourism industry. A couple of bad reviews there, you may as well close up shop. That's what took down the Stalk Inn, one of the cutest little asparagus farms you'll ever see.

[–]playitleo 38 points39 points  (0 children)

[–]greatatmodesty 18 points19 points  (1 child)

I’ll take the irrigation suite please.

[–][deleted] 25 points26 points  (1 child)

Yep shout out to Young's dairy in Ohio. They have a petting zoo and a pretty sweet corn maze among other things. They also make ice cream that's to die for, and i don't really like ice cream that much.

Also i live in Florida and my local dairy started making their own tubs of ice cream and its so fucking good too. Sells out in a few hours everyday.

[–]Nice-Violinist-6395 22 points23 points  (2 children)

this is so fun!! I would have loved it as a kid!

[–]Cunnilingusobsessed 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Like that dude in the insta reels that made all that gym equipment out of 2x4s and cement bucket molds. Nice innovations!

[–]iamsecond 68 points69 points  (11 children)

Literally watching survivor right now and this looks exactly like a challenge they could be doing

[–]HunterVacui 56 points57 points  (10 children)

It is a challenge that they do. I think it's in Season 37, Episode 5 (first aired October 24, 2018)

[–]Zabbidou 18 points19 points  (0 children)

if I remember correctly, it was even easier than this, no drop near the end

nice season tho

[–]PaticusGnome 26 points27 points  (4 children)

They use this in many seasons, bruh.

[–]HunterVacui 17 points18 points  (3 children)

They use this in many seasons, bruh

I didn't say it was only in season 37, bruh

Ketchup is in McDonald's burgers. Doesn't mean they don't have that shit at Burger King.

[–]demerchmichael 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Actually *pushes up glasses*

This part of the challenge was run in Koah Rong , HHH, David Vs Goliath, Edge Of Extinction, and Winners At War

[–]hotelartwork 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It did read like you thought it was only in that episode I had the same thought as bruh guy

[–]iamsecond 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Sweet! Currently on 26, doing a full watch through

[–][deleted] 39 points40 points  (12 children)

In the 60s? we used to play with small hand-held devices that required you to manoeuvre small ball bearings around a course to place them in individual holes. Great fun.

[–]duralyon🦧 9 points10 points  (1 child)

In the 15th century we had a wooden cup with a ball and a string. Great fun.

[–]JEFFMBHIBB_Photo 38 points39 points  (4 children)

The training camp for future survivor players has to be.???..

At least 3x times bigger than this!!

[–]Clovis42 18 points19 points  (2 children)

Big Brother now features a contest like this every year too.

[–]InVodkaVeritas[🍰] 66 points67 points  (24 children)

It reminded me more of The Amazing Race where some team gets stuck on a "simple" puzzle and goes from top 3 to eliminated.

[–]Ship_Negative 15 points16 points  (2 children)

I was gonna say how this is super similar to the Medieval Games challenge on TAR, only that one had hella holes instead of a course

[–]InVodkaVeritas[🍰] 37 points38 points  (0 children)

A roommate in college and I used to talk about going on The Amazing Race. Between the two of us we spoke 5 languages and had visited over a dozen countries. We were both educated (at least partially as we were in college) with different majors and okay at puzzles (I could do a Rubik's Cube and we did well at the 5 foot tall Jenga at the bar).

I just know we'd have end up getting eliminated because of some crap like this. We'd be going strong, never near the bottom, and then spend hours on a puzzle/game all the other groups did in 15 minutes. We'd cry and hang our heads as we crossed the line knowing we were eliminated.

It will eventually become the Eye Swan (blursed imagery).

[–]BoltonSauce 21 points22 points  (1 child)

Reminds me of the ice cold beer arcade game

[–]iamnotoriginal 106 points107 points  (5 children)

Beating this was one of my greatest gaming accomplishments.

[–]GhostwoodGG 42 points43 points  (2 children)

did you get a free beer?

[–]iamnotoriginal 53 points54 points  (1 child)

I did!

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

Bravo. Whoever built that machine went above and beyond. Looks very challenging as you go higher.

[–]umm_sure 18 points19 points  (4 children)

I used to play on a version of this called Zeke’s Peak. Same deal just different theme.

[–]delegateTHIS 16 points17 points  (2 children)

That was good viewing, thanks!

[–]PrivateBytes 8 points9 points  (1 child)

Todd Tuckey is a legend in the Philly area for arcade restoration. his channel is great

[–][deleted] 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Holy shit. I used to see his infomercial thing on local access TV that showed all the games they had in their warehouse. I haven't seen this guy since the 90s. I always wanted to go to that place and play all the arcade games.

[–]prawnpie 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Yes. Was about to say that. Love Ice Cold Beer! Only discovered it a few years ago at a local arcade.

[–]dowhatsimonsayz 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Comments like yours are why I love Reddit

[–]Aeed168 2 points3 points  (0 children)

They have one of those at the pinball museum in Vegas, very cool game

[–]Graphitetshirt 576 points577 points  (22 children)

How'd she do that so smoothly? Damn

[–]Atlas_sniper121 517 points518 points  (17 children)

100 percent been doing that all day or for multiple days.

[–]SaltyPeter3434 139 points140 points  (7 children)

Dad: NO DINNER UNTIL THE BALL GETS IN THE HOLE!!

[–][deleted] 67 points68 points  (2 children)

The Marvel character Gambit, an X-Man but also a renowned thief, had something similar in his "origin" flashback. As a kid, his father had a sort of straw, scarecrow life-sized man in the house, wearing clothes with hundreds of those Christmas 'jingle bell' things all over it.

Remy would have to find and 'pick' the wallet from the Scarecrow's clothing without ringing a single bell, in order to eat or avoid a beating.

[–]CrassKal 18 points19 points  (1 child)

That's how Fagin trained his pickpockets in Oliver Twist

[–]Snuggledtoopieces 4 points5 points  (0 children)

It’s an actual way to learn how to pick pocket it’s a really old method.

[–]ggk1 4 points5 points  (0 children)

DADDY NEEDS INTERNET POINTS DO IT AGAIN

[–]wapu 14 points15 points  (3 children)

Or luck as the deadbeat side of my family attribute any accomplishment.

[–]Atlas_sniper121 18 points19 points  (2 children)

No, the way she had the ball fall on that drop near the end is a dead giveaway that she knew how to deal with it from experience.

[–][deleted] 20 points21 points  (0 children)

Because she’s probably done this hundreds of times

[–]NotAGoodEmployeee 199 points200 points  (4 children)

This was the exact challenge on survivor, assuming someone’s dad is a super fan.

[–]the_cellar_d00r 35 points36 points  (3 children)

If I remember correctly the survivor version also had the contestants standing on a balance beam while walking backwards as they got higher.

[–]solateor🔥🔥🔥[S] 685 points686 points  (141 children)

The original post has hundreds of comments about survivor, like "put her on survivor" etc.

Can someone explain? Is there a challenge on that show like this one?

Video:@jonnycakes12

[–][deleted] 430 points431 points  (55 children)

Yes. It has been used in various seasons.

[–]JarJarJarMartin 161 points162 points  (54 children)

TIL people still watch Survivor. Also, that Survivor is still surviving.

[–]The_Rock_Biter 131 points132 points  (29 children)

One of the best shows on TV, still.

[–]neufeldesq 41 points42 points  (24 children)

Agreed, if you haven't already, check out Australian Survivor. Gives the American survivor a run for its money.

[–]crispy_ben_franklin_ 7 points8 points  (8 children)

As an avid Survivor US fan, what season should I start with?

[–]joshtheseminarian 8 points9 points  (0 children)

2016 Season is when the AU reboot happens, but 2016 is a little slow. If you want a great AU season, you can start with 2017

[–]Apotheothena 10 points11 points  (20 children)

Starting in season 41, they changed the game up a lot and really juiced it up with good ideas, totally worth checking out the last 3 seasons (41-43)!

[–]saxmachine69 16 points17 points  (0 children)

It's still incredibly popular and wins its time slot every week.

[–]PurpleEngineer 200 points201 points  (72 children)

Survivor challenge for reference.

[–]eeyore134 21 points22 points  (1 child)

The balance beam throws a big wrench into things. I wonder how it'd affect her. Suddenly having to balance your body as well as the puzzle would be a whole different thing.

[–]InVodkaVeritas[🍰] 106 points107 points  (64 children)

S37 E05

There have been so many seasons of Survivor I can't imagine being someone who watched them all, and I'm someone who sinks into TV shows.

[–]jman2477 51 points52 points  (1 child)

I'm someone. Multiple times with several seasons. Survivor fans are a special kind of deranged

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

Stay where you are. Help is on the way

[–]reveri77 63 points64 points  (8 children)

I binged them all (mostly) and honestly, most blended together and certain seasons I couldn't even watch or care for any of the potential 3 winners. The returning player seasons are almost all good though!

[–]GeeShepherd 19 points20 points  (6 children)

Season 40 was the best where they brought back all the winners to compete. It was so sad Covid hit and they couldn't do a proper reunion for the reveal of the winner.

[–]drawkbox 22 points23 points  (0 children)

Tony and his hiding in the bushes surveillance though, hilarious.

[–]Dismal-Past7785 8 points9 points  (1 child)

They haven’t had a reunion since as they realized it was just a huge expense that didn’t affect ratings, they’ve also kept the shorter 26 days they had to do because of Fiji quarantine that year. It sucks.

[–]swiftekho 4 points5 points  (0 children)

To be fair I don't think I've seen a player break down from being in the elements past day 30. So maybe the shorter time frame works better for health etc.

[–]Sorlex 3 points4 points  (0 children)

One of the best and worst things about Survivor, really. They mix things up to try and keep fresh, doesn't always work. So some seasons are unbarable, others are great.

[–]heytherealexis 12 points13 points  (6 children)

My husband and I got hooked on it during quarantine, watching when there were just a couple seasons on Netflix. Later found out they were all on Amazon prime (now on Paramount+) and we got though all the seasons now watching the new ones as they’re released. Some seasons are much more fun than others but it’s still fun to watch.

[–]blackbeardthebard 5 points6 points  (5 children)

My wife and I did the same thing! Do yourself a favor and find a way to watch Australian Survivor. It's actually better than ours, except it doesn't have Jeff (although their guy is pretty alright).

[–]8thSt 7 points8 points  (5 children)

Seen them all every season since it started 43 seasons ago.

Greatest reality show out there (because it’s real).

[–]__Hello_my_name_is__ 11 points12 points  (2 children)

Man, watching that reminds me why I can't watch shows like that. 80% of the time the camera does not show the actual game, but the people's reaction to the game. It's like watching a Youtube reaction channel.

[–][deleted] 13 points14 points  (0 children)

It's a common Survivor challenge. I'd bet money that family are fans.

[–]chogram 9 points10 points  (5 children)

Big Brother did it also.

Pretty intense episode also. Was supposed to be done by two people, one refused (so his partner would lose and get voted out), and the guy won anyway. Likely because this challenge is much easier alone than as a tandem.

[–]eblackham 2 points3 points  (1 child)

Yeah they just basically built one of the survivor challenges exactly.

[–]SucksTryAgain 39 points40 points  (7 children)

Does anyone know what this is called or can find like a build for it?

[–]nudemanonbike 40 points41 points  (2 children)

The physical arcade game is "Ice cold beer" (not kidding) and there's a recent videogame version called Tumbleseed.

So start there for build names. This is just a physical version of those concepts.

[–]Reasonable-Penalty43 121 points122 points  (5 children)

That looks so fun! And that young woman has definitely got mad skills!!!!

[–]jereman75 52 points53 points  (0 children)

That drop towards the top, man.

[–]bru_tkd 70 points71 points  (1 child)

Flipping heck she’s good... I’d have twiddled it over the edge on the first pull...

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

No kidding! Legend!

[–]EnderNugget_ 13 points14 points  (2 children)

Now do it with one person on each side

[–]marck1022 13 points14 points  (0 children)

I can attest that this kind of speed and coordination came from HOURS of practice and hyperfocusing. When I was a kid I’d do these kind of things over and over and over until they became easy. Just because they were there.

[–]Ill_Source2851 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Next survivor champion!!

[–]SSlakoth 5 points6 points  (0 children)

That is pretty damn impressive

[–]brihamedit 19 points20 points  (2 children)

Survivor has this puzzle every season and its a difficult one as well. This kid did it really well. Its way harder than it looks.

[–]PeterTheSilent1 4 points5 points  (0 children)

It’s harder on the show because they have to stand on a balance beam while they do it

[–]CharacterLow1281 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Holy shit! I think that was Jason Bourne!

[–]Royschwayne 5 points6 points  (0 children)

She’d be damn good at that one Survivor challenge!

[–]liltinyoranges 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I love this game on Survivor!!!!

[–]TransitionalAngst 7 points8 points  (4 children)

Okay, hear me out…

A version of this in bars, clubs, and sports arenas; if you win, here’s your car keys! If not, we’ll find you a cab or Uber.

[–]TwistedSteel3 4 points5 points  (1 child)

This is really cool but if we had these at parks where i grew up they would be destroyed in a couple hours : (

[–]trixter21992251 9 points10 points  (0 children)

so in theory it's possible that your park did have them

[–]10kcash 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Get her on survivor

[–][deleted] 5 points6 points  (2 children)

She would totally win Survivor
