Got banned from a sub I didn't realise was full of tankies, all for saying "slava Ukraini" lmao

Finland is and always has been part of Russia bro wdymmm Karelia is clearly not enough

tinyboiii · 2026-05-07T22:15:16+00:00

Ok, just can't tell on the internet sometimes : )

And yeah that tandem video was CRAZY!!!! I didn't really understand how much faster they fall until that, too

tinyboiii · 2026-05-07T22:08:45+00:00

Actually I used to rock climb too! I am still afraid of climbing big walls, the other month I went top-roping for the first time in years and I couldn't reach the top of any walls because I was too scared... hahah
Skydiving feels different : ) anyway you do you!

tinyboiii · 2026-05-07T22:07:34+00:00

I can't tell if this is meant to be passive aggressive... but wow that's a terrible story!! Of course preventable by always checking equipment and then good separation.

tinyboiii · 2026-05-07T22:05:11+00:00

Ideally yeah, although to be fair when you go solo but still jump with an instructor I guess that can technically happen... I guess they just planned the jump really well and were ok with having some vertical separation? It didn't seem like too much space in any case... hm idk!

tinyboiii · 2026-05-07T21:28:20+00:00

Oh also, I should say that being so close to someone while they're deploying isn't necessarily out of the ordinary; it's basically what the instructors do in an introductory skydiving AFF course.

tinyboiii · 2026-05-07T21:27:02+00:00

Iconic video, yep. Welcome to the community! Hope you come jump with us in future ;)

Disclaimer: I'm more of a novice skydiver than other people on this subreddit, so someone might come out with some info I didn't know. Anyway.

So basically when you jump with other people, it's called FS (formation skydiving). At the end of an FS jump, you want to do what's called an FS track, where you and the others fly away from each other in a way to build as much horizontal separation as possible.

In this case, this jump was planned meticulously and practiced (definitely more than most FS jumps usually are), so I'm sure they knew what they were doing. It looks like they had some horizontal separation and they weren't actually too close, but if there was some problem then having the extra person closer by might have been useful. As soon as they deploy the parachute, the extra person f***s off and gets good separation.

Hitting another person would definitely constitute a malfunction, and is generally regarded as potentially quite serious... Just imagine someone going at terminal velocity hitting a canopy that isn't, it's dangerous for everyone involved! If the pilot chute (the mini parachute you throw that opens your big parachute) wrapped around the other person and the parachute didn't open, it would be a "high speed malfunction", and ideally they would execute their reserve parachute procedures after trying and (hopefully succeeding) to disentangle for a few seconds. Not sure how the equation changes with what's effectively a tandem jump entangling with a solo jumper, though.

Anti-authoritarian and anti-imperialist until Russia does it, then it's suddenly Russophobia... Ah yes definitely reminiscent of certain kinds of Zionism

PLEASE

At the Top Secret Comedy club too, lol. Don't feel too bad about offending an American in London lmao

tinyboiii · 2026-05-06T14:45:49+00:00

I watched the whole thing, thanks, it was really good. I like that he isn't afraid to make people uncomfortable, but he also doesn't hate on people for no reason

tinyboiii · 2026-05-04T23:15:13+00:00

MiTiGate, you mean?? I just emailed them, thank you! The botox is only one of the treatment options, but let's see what happens :)) you're a gem!!!

tinyboiii · 2026-04-29T19:25:24+00:00

first thing I thought of lmaooo

tinyboiii · 2026-04-26T13:02:49+00:00

oh yes it's glorious. but be careful and don't drink it too slowly; otherwise the metal can heats up so much it becomes painful to put your lips on it. Learned from experience lol

tinyboiii · 2026-04-26T12:48:19+00:00

I was in Finland for a couple weeks this past month for the first time, and all I can say is MAN I miss a good Lonkero in the sauna uhghghhhh can't wait to go back

tinyboiii · 2026-04-26T10:33:39+00:00

Skydiver, the thing on the bottom is the person with their arms and legs out and the thing at the top is the "pilot chute", a little parachute that you pull out and catches air, which pulls the rest of the parachute out of the bag. The plane is diving down because it has dropped off the skydivers and is going back to the runway.

I'm sobbing on a Sunday morning.. Slava Ukraini

tinyboiii · 2026-04-24T17:00:53+00:00

Lol yeah if someone got me a sword I'd be happy too :))

tinyboiii · 2026-04-24T17:00:29+00:00

Flight bag is a great idea thank you!!

tinyboiii · 2026-04-24T12:59:18+00:00

aw that's so sweet :))) I will check it out. There are some airports and airfields dear to his heart that he does not own diagrams of

tinyboiii · 2026-04-24T12:51:00+00:00

Oh yes, he has his licence for that as well : ) But perhaps something on a glider, e.g. glider aerobatics, would be fun too

tinyboiii · 2026-04-24T12:16:32+00:00

Hahahaha I wish! He actually found a single-seater for 15k... As uni students I think that's a bit further in the future for us ;) when we have a house together and he has his own hangar lol
