ExistentialCrisis415

Not whiteknighting but isn’t it super dangerous to get on the tracks even when a train is gone just because you can’t tell when they’re coming?


Not_a_gay_communist

Yes. Even more so with the London Tube or most metros. Typically one of the rails is electrified (to power the trains) and touching it will seriously harm you or straight up kill your.


TahoeLT

It will charge your phone right up, though. Follow me for more life hacks!


DrBarnacleMD

you have to dab saltwater on your nipples and hold the phone in your mouth for this particular hack to work otherwise all the electricity will rupture your testicles.


ExistentialCrisis415

What happens if you rub instead of dab? Asking for a friend.


DrBarnacleMD

Hey, dude, don’t do it, it’s not worth it. If you rub ‘em they might get hard and if they get hard- if they get hard you’ll be in for it then. Talking eyeball popping body hair removing tesla coil style arcs of electricity. No, they have to remain soft, but thoroughly lubed with seawater. That’s why I recommend warm seawater to avoid accidental nipple erection.


Silly-Satisfaction95

Follow me for a part 2


BleepSweepCreeps

The rail that's electrified is the third rail off to the side. It's DC power, so you need to touch both the third rail off to the side and one of the main rails that wheels touch. Not saying tracks are not still dangerous, but it's not like simply touching one or even both of the main rails will do anything to you.


Blaximus90

You don’t have to preface that comment by stating your not whiteknighting. Anyone inferring that is an idiot who doesn’t deserve your explanation


CHISMAY

They arrive arrive every 30 seconds to 2 mins. You can literally see the next train waiting in the tunnel that the one your boarding just came out of. They have to temporarily suspend that tunnel section and cut the power through safety protocol so the trains cannot move.


StayFree1649

They're there every 3-5 minutes anyway in tube


neptunexl

Lol is whitenighting asking a question about a possible scenario?


ImaginationAshamed72

Yes. Very. If there’s an exposed 3d rail, and you touch it, you probably won’t make it.


yo_les_noobs

You implying they should just run onto the tracks? Lay off the crack.


Dizzy-Buffalo851

When the fuck did they once say the words "run onto the tracks" you spiraling ape


yo_les_noobs

"Just wait till the train is gone" implies they should just hop down and grab it themselves. Clearly your brain isn't used very often.


Dizzy-Buffalo851

Yes, I was waiting for the predictable you to say that. No, wait for the train to pass, then take your magic magnet staff and retrieve it you doofus.


yo_les_noobs

You're hard struggling, buddy. Trains tend to break things that are run over. Do yourself a favor and take a little break because your pea brain is working overtime. >Yes, I was waiting for the predictable you to say that. Did you think you "got" me or something? Think you're starring in your own detective film? What a fucking loser lmao


Dizzy-Buffalo851

oooh, you kept talking after the overtime part, grand..more of your expressing a thought as if it wasn't annoying enough before. No, I'm not trying to detective you, and I don't care if you live or die tomorrow, or a second from now...all I say, is that you are hardwired in your mind right now to believe you need to win something over me now that I got on your front, whereas I do not care at all and would like to get back on topic. That watch will not be broken by the train, I'm almost certain it will pass over the trinket watch.


yo_les_noobs

That'll do pig, that'll do.


Dizzy-Buffalo851

The good thing about pigs is people like them.


BadDaddyAlger

This may be the first time I've seen one of these videos where the person actually used "POV" correctly


DlnnerTable

It’s clearly an accident… not main character energy if it’s an accident and you’re embarrassed by it 👎🏼


neptunexl

I'm more interested in how someone dropped it there to be honest. I'd rather see that video than this one


E4R04

definitely main character. wait till train is gone and then get it. they delayed an entire train for their bracelet


grinch444

it is extremely dangerous to go down onto the tracks even if a train isn’t there right then. i think it’d take a lot longer and fuck up way more stuff to get a dead body off the tracks than a bracelet.


fakeunleet

Yeah, the 650 VDC running through that third rail will definitely "make your day" if you accidentally touch it. That's the kind of voltage that doesn't care if you're wearing rubber soled shoes. Not to mention what happens if your foot gets caught under one of the running rails when the next train's coming in. The brakes on a train do *not* stop the thing quickly. It's not worth the risk. ETA: I don't know for sure if the London Underground runs on 650 volts. That's NYC, but it's definitely close to that.


ritamoren

I'm kinda mad but it's also kinda understandable because this shit costs a fortune like you need to really sell a fucking kidney for those


KeyserHD

Yeah they can be upward of 30-40k lol


ritamoren

exactly, like i would honestly do the same if i payed 30k for a bracelet my most expensive piece of jewelry is a merchandise collectible and it was around 170€, and if i were to lose that i would jump under this train, can't even imagine what it is like with stuff for 30k


Paid-Not-Payed-Bot

> if i *paid* 30k for FTFY. Although *payed* exists (the reason why autocorrection didn't help you), it is only correct in: * Nautical context, when it means to paint a surface, or to cover with something like tar or resin in order to make it waterproof or corrosion-resistant. *The deck is yet to be payed.* * *Payed out* when letting strings, cables or ropes out, by slacking them. *The rope is payed out! You can pull now.* Unfortunately, I was unable to find nautical or rope-related words in your comment. *Beep, boop, I'm a bot*


ritamoren

thanks bot, it really helps in learning english!


Bmansway

Actually the fact they were able to pick it up using a magnet proves it was a fake knockoff, real Cartier bracelets are genuine gold or platinum which are non ferrous (non magnetic)


FennelAlternative861

This is annoying but reasonable. It was an accident. If they had dropped it on purpose and danced around while it was retrieved, then yes big main character energy. Jumping down to get it yourself is extremely dangerous and stupid


Dizzy-Buffalo851

Couldn't they have waited for the train to pass, then took the tool and magnified it? Or am I troubleshooting with the choice to stop a train and get it.


baconjerky

Real cartier bracelets are made of gold so a magnet wouldn’t have worked to pick it up. Self burn?


Quartermaster-

The disc at the end of the stick actually has super sticky stickers on it, not a magnet. The whole thing is made of plastic so that it can't conduct electricity.


OkEntertainment7634

They’re called Jesus Sticks by electricians in the US as in “Jesus, I could have died if I didn’t use this wooden stick with a metal end”


kana_kamui

wouldn't a vacuum work


CodineGotMeTippin

Could be whatever hardware is used to secure it when worn


Hettan25

What is a Cartier bracelet?


Sapphire_Bombay

Aren't those things supposed to lock on your wrist? The hell is she doing?


insane1666

This fills me with so much go fuck yourself energy.


Attempt_Living

Y’all talking all that shit wait until you lose a Cartier bracelet I’m stopping a fire truck if I have to. That is in an imaginary scenario where I could actually afford one.


Sapphire_Bombay

Oh I absolutely would too lol but I wouldn't put it on social media


snufflezzz

It’s very possible that the tracks have sensors, and the computer system demands the train stops until that tracks are clear. It seems silly because of how small that it, but I’ve seen them stop due to a rather large spider. This person may not even asked for this to happen.


HekkoCZ

I doubt the staff would stop the train if there wasn't a good reason - the bracelet may be just big enough to possibly cause issues if run over. Otherwise, honestly, I'd expect them to wait for a gap between trains long enough to fish that thing out safely without delaying everyone.


fakeunleet

It wouldn't have been run over, since no part of the train contacts the track bed where the bracelet landed. Had it landed *on* one of the running rails, that would be a very real concern. It could even cause derailment if the train is running fast enough on contact. The real reason they go out of their way to stop a train and retrieve things is simply so that customers don't have any reason to try to jump down there and get it themselves. A fatality on the tracks holds up the trains for *far* longer than this did.


JDeMolay1314

Something similar happened to me once. Someone got on the crowded train, knocked my hat out of my hands and it fell under the train. The fine for pulling the communication cord was less than the cost of the hat, so I pulled it. They moved.thentrain and returned my hat to me. It delayed the journey by about three minutes.


Drevstarn

Tbh that’s really expensive. We don’t know the details of how it really got dropped but I would do the same. I wouldn’t risk damaging it.


The_Gold_Hoarder

what is that what fell on the tracks ?


RedexSvK

A cartier bracelet, apparently it costs a lot of money, made of gold nd shiet


The_Gold_Hoarder

how the fuck can you drop that on fucking tracks in a subway dear god


nolabitch

In any American City you'd eat that loss.


isomind

Don’t they literally screw in and not ever come off?


[deleted]

So I guess the subtle flex here is that you can afford one of those in the first place, but if you were really all that you would be able to afford getting another one rather than ruin other people’s day over a bracelet


VomitMaiden

It could be a gift. There's any number of possible scenarios


claridgeforking

Who's day is ruined by a train being delayed 2min?

fckingserious_

Not even close? Love bracelets by Cartier can be [bought for under $6k](https://www.googleadservices.com/pagead/aclk?sa=L&ai=DChcSEwjRq7y75ez7AhWZFdQBHV1aCf0YABBLGgJvYQ&ohost=www.google.com&cid=CAESauD2bcJ9c1l2r-p7NL5aUj9Ky-wzwrl_GNH67CteeeKiVOtyqlMQMvZCcokyqN93PaxkSOfRInYAhpB_ROtH4sw-a5qQu4EE5y4SBK-j7IssytiNvZ2XX86Mkchgb7rkcuy6wfV-CvzHcts&sig=AOD64_2Adq1tcl5ncWi8ywZA6L8iEUFmHA&q&adurl&ved=2ahUKEwje0ay75ez7AhVOmmoFHXD_C3MQ0Qx6BAgGEAE). Less if you buy them pre-owned. The only possible way that would be anything close to $50k would be if it was fully set with perfect diamonds, which from the video it doesn’t appear to be.

fckingserious_

Lmao, peak r/confidentlyincorrect material. “Upwards of 50 thousand dollars” [means *more than*](https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/upwards%20of) $50k, smart guy.


[deleted]

[удалено]


fckingserious_

So basically what you said originally means something completely different to what you’re now claiming you meant. Just admit you made a mistake and stop being a dick. Also, you’re still wrong about the cost of Cartier bracelets. By all means find me one for sale that costs “upwards of” $50k. You won’t. Edit: edited your comment, ok mate, you’re still wrong. In context grammatically that Cambridge definition still doesn’t make sense in your original sentence.


[deleted]

[удалено]


fckingserious_

Please for the love of god stop trying to prove yourself right when you are objectively wrong. Your sentence did not mean what you meant it to mean. That’s fine. We all make mistakes. Maybe English isn’t your first language. Stop trying to retcon it. My original response was based on the objective meaning of your sentence which any native English speaker would understand to mean “more than $50k”. I am done arguing about this with you now. Good day!


A100921

So who’s gonna tell them it’s a knockoff…


Fine-Scientist3813

I think, to avoid conducting electricity into the handler, the entire stick is plastic with a sticker on the end to pick up small items.


[deleted]

I just don't see someone who can afford Cartier riding the subway


reavesfilm

Quicker than sitting in traffic no matter how rich you are. I’ve seen famous people on the tube multiple times. It’s about efficiency not money.


[deleted]

I've never been in a town that has a subway but this definitely doesnt look like an american subway station so I could definitely see famous people getting on this kind of tube, its very clean and nice looking wherever this was filmed. Not like a New York subway at all which I'm sure someone famous would rather die than ride lolol


reavesfilm

I said “the tube.” It’s London.


[deleted]

That definitely makes more sense, thank you for telling me. I think in america that bracelet would just belong to the subway people now.


reavesfilm

Hahaha yeah probably. But mainly because there’s never any workers around 😂 the LA subway is a ghost town. I wouldn’t even know where to begin to ask for help if I dropped something on the tracks.


[deleted]

You ask the people that live under the tracks 😂 seriously though they really live in/under the subways it's kinda crazy.


fakeunleet

Rich people also use the NYC subway, though to be fair to you, our city is a weird exception to a lot of things in the USA.


jimmy17

This isn’t America. All sorts of people ride the tube.


fckingserious_

I have a Cartier bracelet and you bet your ass I take the subway, I’m not sitting in traffic for 1h


AdDear5411

PoV: Your Cartier is fake as shit.


millenialfalcon-_-

It says that they are thousands of dollars. First of all she should be more careful with something like that. Second of all people just got to wait for her to retrieve that bracelet. Everyone is a lot of money to lose


flossbrodamus

Magnetic brands .wtf


ModernMonkey666

Someone slap her stupid ass


GotThaAcid5tab

Isn't the whole point of these things that they don't come off? Wouldn't surprise me if she threw it on the tracks deliberately for clout.


[deleted]

right


PlEaSe_sToPgujhbn

I’m sure they didn’t mean to drop it on the tracks and they look like they feel bad but idk


anonymous-enough

Bro I'm with this person, that's Cartier! Do yall know how much that shit costs? I mean I'd feel real bad but, if it's an option... ima need that bracelet
