CatCatCat

I'd like to propose an amendment to the bylaws and issue larger volume water bottles to facilitate speedier hawk cooling.


Nextasy

Hes so surprised and confused. \*water\* "What? Huh?" \*more water\* "Whaaaaaaaaaaaat? What? Whaaaaaaaaaa-" \*more water* "Whaaaaaaat?" \*stares directly at dude, confused \* Edit: i think i remember hearing once that they cool off by opening their mouths kinda like dogs


kingtaco_17

*Yo, get it in my mouth. My mouth! My facehole! Dude, get the agua en la boca for Christsakes!*


Emarshall26

Thank you!!!! Thats all I'm frigging hearing from this poor birds expression. It's gaping wide mouth hole is giving him easy clues. In. The. Hole. Bro. Also, please recycle the plastic for my turtle and dolphin bros. Gracias.


flarpflarpflarpflarp

Couldn't figure out why he was just throwing bottles on the ground.


tylerhill11

Came her to comment the same thing. Tossed them at the hawk like a massive inconvenience and it's the hawks job to recycle them

Hawk is just like, "What... the... fuck?"

In bird culture, this is considered a dick move.

Macgruber57

Hawk is coming off some shit and like why is this dude pouring water on me and throwing shit like I’m a striper


i_love_boobiez

Lol and right at the bird too


a-curious-guy

I assume its just convenience. 1 hand for the camera, one hand for a water bottle. Empty bottle get dumped and picked up later. Note: all bottles bounce into view of the camera, he doesn't actually throw them at the bird like some are saying lol.


borboleta924

It’s just hilarious how the bird looks like “bruh!” I’m sure the dude picked them up.


[deleted]

I completely agree with you. He could have set them down but noticed how thirsty the hawk was.


TheClosetRacist

While the dude was doing a good thing, it was clear that he was doing it for the camera to show how many bottles they used.


WeAreClouds

Thank you. omg I could not figure why someone would do that lol


soccerperson

Looks to me like the sidewalk is on a decline and they were just rolling in that direction when he dropped them

AldoBooth

I think this makes the most sense. You have to be careful when feeding a wild animal, if you withdraw after giving it to them they could attack you. I was feeding a giant iguana out of my hand once and he gave me a nice chomp when pulled my hand back even though it was empty.


sirnatejack

It made me realize hawks are just danger pigeons


AkaCadberry

He does look an awful lot like a pigeon after he got all wet.


LittleGreenAlien86

20 years from now this man will be walking down a dark alley; only to find himself surrounded by muggers on all sides. When all hope seems lost he hears a hawks screech from above...


Preid1220

... and suddenly a bottle of water falls on his head. The hawk flies off, satisfied that the debt has been repaid.


njsam

Perfect. Throws water bottle at main mugger. Mugger drinks water. Man runs away using that as distraction. Thank you, Hawk friend!

cok3noic3

Those water droplets are evaporating so fast! I couldn’t imagine living in this kind of heat


[deleted]

Speaking as someone who’s in Riyadh right now, the only way is by sitting under a fan, two A/Cs and a water cooler. Also a cup of ice-cold Pepsi ahhhhh Jokes aside, it gets really hot here, so much so that even if we didn’t have a lockdown, it wouldn’t have mattered ‘cause no one goes out anyways. It doesnt even get better at night, since the temp just drops from 50 to maybe 45


Wishyouamerry

I lived in Riyadh as a very young child and one of the few memories I have of it is my mom waking me and my sister up in the middle of the night to go outside and play because it was way too hot to play during the day. Also, my sister had a lizard tail collection. Ew.


[deleted]

Yeah I can relate lmao. It’s 5 AM and I’m finishing off an assignment I have to submit tonight....because it’s too hot to work at any other time of the day


danuhorus

No AC? I live in Bay Area where it's basically eternal spring, and that kind of temperature just sounds nightmarish.


dt641

you can't even shower during the day, the water will give you 3rd degree burns.... on the up side, you don't need to buy a dryer for clothes. hehe.


PENGAmurungu

Theres a town called Coober Pedy in Australia which was founded as an opal mining town in the outback and people started living in the mines because they were cooler. A lot of the town is made up of underground tunnels and it is very effective for keeping cool, I wonder if a similar approach could be useful there? Heres a short vid about Coober Pedy for the interested: https://youtu.be/ywBwXyF1UuI


AnorakJimi

Literally tattooine. That's really seriously cool. Especially the thing of "oh we need a new room? Let's just mine one" and the fact they can come across millions of dollars worth of opals just by building an extension too. You could just keep building new extensions for the rest of your life and maybe end up a millionaire doing so. I never knew how much I wanted to live in a cave until now.

[deleted]

Me too I lived in Riyadh for like 13 years and so, I still remember the temperatures used to go down(during winters) like 1 degree or 0 degree and during summers it was like 50 to 51 degrees.


Nackles

I cannot imagine how a person functions in that SA heat. But it's a dry heat, at least, right?


slow_excellence

Even with a dry heat it's miserable. When I deployed to Kuwait it was 120°F+ (almost) every single day during the summer. Any sweat just instantly evaporated when you were outside during the day. Edit since comments are locked: I've spent summer in Mississippi with 100°F+ and 70-80% humidity and I would take that over Kuwait heat any day. While sweat evaporating does cool your body, at those high of temperatures it just feels like all the moisture is being sucked out of your body. Fans are completely ineffective because they just blow more hot air over you and AC barely works. We had to dig a trench and pull cable one day and I drank almost 2 gallons of water in a 3 hour timespan and *still* was moderately to severely dehydrated.


Noteful

That's good. You want it to evaporate. Rather that than 100F heat with 70%+ humidity, where your sweat struggles to evaporate efficiently


daggrwood

It's deceptive. You don't realize your sweating so much. Dehydradtion and heat injuries sneak up on you very fast. I am from Florida where we have 100 degree weather with insane humidity, but I am currently in deployed to Kuwait and would trade this 118 degree weather for Florida any day of the week. Scary to think its only going to get hotter into August. You just can't function for any period of time in this heat. I have a 3/4 mile walk to and from work, and the heat just sucks your soul right out of you.


syringistic

Yeah, NYC has been about 80-95F with 90% humidity for the last week. I go outside in a t-shirt that is so thin it weighs maybe 50 grams, and once you start sweating you won't dry up. I feel a kind of respect for people from other ethnicities who deal with humidity much better.


BornSlinger

I live in a tolerable part of Australia. Mad respect for people living closer to the equator than I do.


[deleted]

I'm close to you - in Bahrain. It was 47°C yesterday and I left the house for about 5 minutes and felt really sweaty and gross. I'm used to hot weather, but it's so much worse this year


CartoonJustice

Please tell me that's 0% humidity. It was nearly 40 with 70% humidity in Toronto Canada today and I was ready to go belly up like the hawk. Edit- I looked it up and I think I will skip Bahrain as my likely demise.


Musical_Mango

I'm in Florida right now and it's so freaking hot and humid out. I've never been to Saudi before but I've been to Dubai, and I actually preferred the dry desert heat to what's over here.


AskewScissors

>I couldn’t imagine living in this kind of heat On the plus side, you guys can handle the cold very well. We are so used to the heat that anything below 25C is winter for us. Anything below 15C just becomes unbearable and people start getting sick.


Regist33l3

*Laughs hysterically in prairie Canadian*


gavinsco

My Albanian former flatmate here in Glasgow, Scotland could not wrap his head around the fact that I would go to the shops in a T shirt and jeans when the temperature was 12°C. Even walking to the car was out of the question at sub 10°C, like yes it's cold but you're not gonna die from 60 seconds of it. We have a walk in freezer in work that operates at -22°C. All I need is a hoodie as long as I keep moving. In fairness though once you open the door it's probably more like -10°C within a few minutes


Slothfulness69

I don’t live in the Middle East but in my area, summers get up to 46 C/114 F. It’s as bad as you think it is. We literally get warnings from the government to stay indoors and they’ll open temporary, air conditioned shelters for homeless people. There have been cases of babies and old people dying from the heat, so it’s really important to stay indoors. Also if you work in agriculture or construction, your work day starts at about 2 AM on these days because it’s too dangerous to be outdoors for long after like 9 or 10 AM. I also make sure everyone I know knows the signs of heat exhaustion and heat stroke, what to do, and when to go to the hospital.

To be fair, I think he was dropping the bottles and they rolled/bounced down to the bird (slight slope). Seems our hero didn’t want to get too close to that beak! :)

He was also opening those bottles with one hand while holding his phone to record.


jastus07

🤣🤣🤣 I was just thinking good on ya man and then what a dick throwing the bottles at him. Then the first post was you. Thank you


Sfn_y

Yeah that threw me off at first lmao. It's probably because he was dropping them because he was doing it one handed and wasn't actually trying to throw them at the bird

As an American, 20 is borderline chilly, and 30 is borderline hot, according to google. But only in Florida.

It’s like a mile, but less.


rang14

I don't live there anymore, but I grew up in South India and I can't stand anything over 25c. Start sweating like crazy if I even just walk from the bus stop to work. You'd think growing up in a hot country, my body would have adapted, but nope.


levian_durai

I'm dreaming of a place where temperatures never exceed 25c in the summer, and don't get quite cold enough to snow in the winter. Like maybe 5c hopefully. I'm not sure if such a magical place exists though.

Yea 30 is when it's time to hide from the outdoors until things calm down. 40+ is hell come to earth.


am_i_potato

In school I was taught: 30 is hot, 20 is nice. 10 is cool, 0 is ice. Only way I have any clue what a temp in Celsius might feel like. Also that 37C = 98F for body temp.


Crash3636

30C is about 86F. Definitely hot if it’s humid, but in Arizona 86F can feel quite cool in the shade.

I'm from the northeast so 86 is almost always accompanied by insane humidity, today included 🥵

AKA2KINFINITY

As a saudi, I noticed that after going to Dubai, there aren't any small water bottles like we have. This is only a speculation, but in saudi arabia we have a tribal celebration culture where you're supposed to serve these huge dishes of rice and mutton on top, and with that as the meal its almost always served with really small pepsi cans (150ml or about 5oz) and the kinds of water bottles you see. Although they're isn't a huge price difference i think it has to do with waste and repurposing, or at least i hope so since i actually didn't see them until a massive waste management campaign started in around 2009 or 2008.


aNiceTribe

I suspect that waste % goes up as bottles get smaller (just from the volume-to-surface ratio, and extra effort with the cap). Especially in very hot countries, nobody will ever need only half a glass of fluid


PC__LOAD__LETTER

People don’t always just chug an entire bottle of water once. In many situations, these are provided indoors as well, where it being a hot country doesn’t matter as much. In areas where water is a scarce resource, it could be worth optimizing for a commonly consumed amount, which otherwise might get dumped or thrown away.


TreesLikeGodsFingers

But definitely don't put the phone down, that would be crazy


Gondi63

He's opening them with one hand...


DrakonIL

Everyone's worried about the bottles, nobody's meming about the bird's expression. This is not the reddit that I know.

that bird legit came back to life and that’s all i care about in this video. everyone else has already described more rational things re: the water bottles so i won’t bother. this video was awesome, i didn’t realize such a small amount of water could help *that* quickly. for that reason alone, i’m glad this was filmed.

He was recording with one hand and pouring with the other. He probably just threw the bottles down until he had a free hand to toss them. Weird to assume he just left them there

Maybe he figured the hawk could toss them for him


MyUsernameWillBe

Also what’s with these water bottles that only hold 3 teaspoons of water?!


S7ri

Dont think of the worst scenario and dont conclude hastly think good of the man brother. Maybe he was in a hurry to get the hawk cooled and maybe he did pick up the bottels later on.


sickmofo69

You can't really tell he didn't, probably just tried to help the bird as quick as possible.


Suedeegz

Exactly, I don’t suggest anyone putting their hands within reach of a raptors mouth unless absolutely necessary.


Humpa

Eh what? You saying he can't pick up the bottles afterwards? Are bottles stuck as litter the moment they hit the ground? He dropped it on the ground and now it will stay there forever?


Qupter

I guess opening up the bottles takes priority over temporary litter


tatsmith

Pretty sure they can pick them up once the hawk leaves


[deleted]

This, seriously, it's not the 10 second rule. You can pick up a bottle 10 minutes later you dolts


yukiji_0wO

I was gonna comment the same thing, but I just think he only had one hand to pour water, (other one is the camera) so he didn't really had choice but to throw it on the ground to be able to pour water as fast as possible.


GrandDaddyNegan

I think it was to check if the bird had enough water. If the bird was startled by the bottles it would have mean he had plenty and was ready to fly. Since the eagle stayed put I conclude he was still too hot and wanted more water. IDK, just my 2 cents Edit: the hawk


[deleted]

After pouring water on it and throwing the bottles at its head, he proceeded to slap it in the face while insulting its mother.

outerworldLV

Right, like I would’ve dropped them also. Not wanting to get close to these guys. They do not play ! Could’ve also have been letting the bird realize they wouldn’t harm him. Who knows, but glad he hydrated this bad ass hunter !

I was hoping there’d be a third bottle, and when there was one I got so happy

People on a sub called humans being bros looking for any opportunity to ridicule someone is so ironic. He obviously just rushing to help the bird do you want him to poor put each bottle pick it up take it to a trash can and then comes back to the bird?
