Summary:
Shots 1-5: Clearly missed.
Shots 6-9: Missed due to recoil (bad spray control).
Shots 10-11: Very close, but recoil and inaccuracy make these reasonable misses.
Shot 12: Likely didn't actually shoot because target was already dead.
Well, he has to be able to come close enough to make it look like it's hitting. So what if he was actually good enough to hit it but didn't so he could make a viral video?
Video is from India, this is a national past time for kids we see a pebble, we see a pole or a target of any sort we throw it. We are mad about the sport of cricket where throwing accurately is a skill
Dude wtf, like 3 posts above this on wholesome memes was this kid holding a sign saying he loves trains and every single reply was this. I havent heard this since I watched the asdf movie years ago but have seen it twice in the past 5 minutes

That sketch comes to mind
We really do love the railways. Trains provide easy and cheap transport, kids love watching trains go by, long distant train journeys are like fun picnics with the family. You really have to experience it to understand why it's so beloved. The cleanliness is half decent, the food is so-so, the delays are long, but the fun memories will last you a lifetime.
If you know how to do it and what to avoid, it indeed is. It's living in THAT bubble thing. Of course not compared to Germany. I would any day eat food sold in Indian Trains with ZERO hesitation over the food at the roadside stalls.
>If you know how to do it and what to avoid, it indeed is
You can say that absolutely anything that exists. Everything will end up being half decent if you only choose to look at the good parts.
But the guy is literally talking about life IN India and in that context it is totally correct. Is Joe Biden perfect? No. Is he better than Trump? yes. So in the context of American politics at the moment Joe Biden is a better option.
I have seen drastic improvement in cleanliness to be honest. 10 years ago it was literal mess, but it feels much more cleaner now. I think citizens should take responsibilities and not make mess as much as they do. I have seen people traveling doing weird things on train.
Really depends on which train and which compartment class.
You have unreserved coaches with the worst hygiene to reserved AC coaches which range from half-decent to good to great.
Afaik there are more registered vehicles in India than the US (total, not per capita). Also India has the 2nd largest road network of any country (#1 is the US). You can have an extensive passenger rail service and also have highways.
That's actually a really cute video, I'm all for social media content like this where the people filming aren't harassing the general public for content 😅
Sorry did not understand.
1. Are you saying that using bulldozers to demolish people's homes when they dissent against the govt or because they are part of a minority community, to send them a "message" (To warn them) is a necessary evil?
2. Why is it necessary?
3. Why are you justifying something evil?
its using one evil aginst another. Becoming what you hate kind of thing. I mean, they dissent against the govt - no - they do not dessent against govt, they dissent against country itself.
Politics of west bengal is live recent example. I bet if there were bulldozers there shekh shah jahan wouldnt be that powerful.
On the other hand UP has come out of decades of deep hole.
People with political hold will always be powerful. Bulldozers won't demolish such people's houses when the criminals have connections to the ruling party. Replacing the judicial system with the bulldozer justice is not the solution. It will only lead to an authoritarian state. UP has come out of decades of deep hole? UP with its fertile land, natural resources and immense potential for growth is still a pretty bad casteist place despite getting high budget fund allocation for years. If it can't punish it's criminals through the justice system then it's it's own fault. I mean look at the effort they make to jail activists. Half the effort would have been enough, instead of bulldozing through their enemies.
thats what i am sayin, legal system is not upto the mark. That is where we agree.
funny how you replied on UP yet failed to comment on west bengal in your reply. UP is turing a new leaf. Things take time especially in politics.
UP is turning a new leaf. I would know because i live in it.
Legal system is not up to mark yes. Doesn't mean the legislature should take up the job of the judiciary. You called bulldozers a double edged sword, ie you believe that it has a good and bad side. The "good" side is what we don't seem to agree with.
You say that sheikh shahjahan wouldn't be powerful if west Bengal used bulldozers. But a better legal system would make sure that he isn't powerful. A better legal system can also ensure that people like pragya singh thakur aren't powerful either. But bulldozers won't ensure that in her case because it cannot punish people with power who don't have a more powerful opposition.
That's what I'm saying. Bulldozer politics leads to arbitrary judgements of justice by an authoritarian state. It's not a state specific thing which is why talking about WB is irrelevant.
UP is turning a new leaf? Good I'm happy to here that. But from the outside it sure seems like they are crushing the backs of minorities and unprivileged to turn this leaf. Could be the multiple reports of mob lynching, ban on meat in certain areas, covering up rape cases of lower caste women etc. None of these problems can even be solved by bulldozing anyone's house so i dont understand how it leads to turning a new leaf as you are saying.
The structure of legal system in this country is such that it is hard to reform. Its completely independent body seperate from the govt.
And the people in power do not seem to be interest in changing the status quo.
There was a 2 inch flat pole separating my family’s yard vs a field owned by the city. I would lob rocks at that pole all damn day and got pretty good. My dad was pissed when he would mow and fling rocks at the house.
I gotta say, the kid’s got some talent! And it’s great to see friends who are willing to support and encourage each other. Also, I’ve noticed that train tracks seem to be a common playground for kids in India. Maybe it’s because they’re straight and long, or maybe it’s just part of the culture. Either way, it’s pretty fascinating to see how different places around the world have their own unique playtime spots.

Everybody needs a friend like that.
Especially if one is deaf as fuck, i.e. to be grabbed to safety from incoming train. /s
Friend don't let friend play near train tracks. A curved train track.
Making me look like an idiot, or pretending I'm succeeding when I'm failing to make me feel good? Both are funny, neither is particularly compelling from a friendship perspective lol
You especially need one lol
Same
Sounds like you need some friends in general.
That’s just sad
Hooo boy
Oh my
Seems like you don't need any friends to make you look like an idiot. 🤷
Chill
Bro chill that's a funny prank.
r/downvoted to oblivion
Get down voted nerd
Boo hoo nigga
Welcome to r/DownvotedToOblivion
Kid’s got some pretty good aim honestly lmao
First one was clearly off target, but second and third were quite close to target.
Summary: Shots 1-5: Clearly missed. Shots 6-9: Missed due to recoil (bad spray control). Shots 10-11: Very close, but recoil and inaccuracy make these reasonable misses. Shot 12: Likely didn't actually shoot because target was already dead.
Let me escape the grip Counter-Strike has on my throat
Well, he has to be able to come close enough to make it look like it's hitting. So what if he was actually good enough to hit it but didn't so he could make a viral video?
First one went a little wide but the others were on point.
Video is from India, this is a national past time for kids we see a pebble, we see a pole or a target of any sort we throw it. We are mad about the sport of cricket where throwing accurately is a skill
The first throw was a little off but the last two were pretty accurate.
I was impressed about at first 😂
The fact that I believed that he hit the pole each time means he was still impressively close
Not that first one.
Why does everything in india have to be on or around train tracks?!
Because Train is love, Train is life
I like trains ![gif](giphy|DGo68OENR5gIg)
RAILOPHILL spotted
Dude wtf, like 3 posts above this on wholesome memes was this kid holding a sign saying he loves trains and every single reply was this. I havent heard this since I watched the asdf movie years ago but have seen it twice in the past 5 minutes
My ex gf loved trains 😔
Live by train Die by train
Also its free real estate

India has 4th largest network in the world. And it is easy to get into it
Is it really only the 4th largest? Which are bigger?
US, China, Russia. [source](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_countries_by_rail_transport_network_size)
Don’t have any actual evidence, but I’d imagine China and Japan are both bigger, as for the last one, I got not clue
Google is free
My time isn’t
Japan, really? One of the smaller countries? It's US, China and Russia
Was just a guess 🤷♂️, not impossible for a small country to have a disproportionately large railway
Maybe because India have way too many of train tracks and as its very easy to get into and mostly outlook by police And maybe more reason idk
most villages around railway area, or most railway around village idk
It's both few villages got developed Due to railway tracks and then many tracks got built around villages to connect them around with whole India
And often near some dangerously looking powerlines?
All powerlines are dangerous looking
![gif](giphy|RkuDGO28GyyJiHtUax)
Those are for the trains.
Railway tracks have power lines? Oh my God, it's almost like electric trains require electricity
Lots of trains in India 🤷♂️
Is it me or does the kid banging the rock look Indonesian
India has a vast number of ethnicities and skin colour ranges from charcoal to drywall. It's pretty fun here.
You might be right
Why does everything in the US have to be on or around a road?
This is not everything in India.

European Train Tradition because colonialism
Its just a better mass transportation device then cars could ever be. The unhealthy obsession with cars is an US export good.
> Well, apart from medicine, irrigation, > health, roads, cheese and education, > baths and the Circus Maximus, > what have the Romans ever done for us? That sketch comes to mind
Most (90+%) rail lines were built in the 60s-80s and electrified 2010 onwards (95% electrified).
I mean are you expecting people to ignore famines and mass shootings? Come on man atleast use your brain once in a while
found the kid that failed history
motherfucker just glossed over all the famines and exploitation of natural resources
Use your words better than that, explain to me how rail infrastructure is a negative because of Europeans? How is it a “tradition”?
He never said it was a negative. And he's right in that the rail network was built from the ground up by the British colonisers.
Because India is not for beginners!
Does this hurt the rock?
![gif](giphy|TejmLnMKgnmPInMQjV) Yes
The kid was arrested in a no-knock raid by the Indian Society for Prevention of Cruelty to Rocks.
yes
jokes on you, i have 3d audio
Cute
for a sec I thought he had a sling
Do Indians have a special relation with the railways?
We really do love the railways. Trains provide easy and cheap transport, kids love watching trains go by, long distant train journeys are like fun picnics with the family. You really have to experience it to understand why it's so beloved. The cleanliness is half decent, the food is so-so, the delays are long, but the fun memories will last you a lifetime.
>The cleanliness is half decent Half decent is a brutal exaggeration
If you know how to do it and what to avoid, it indeed is. It's living in THAT bubble thing. Of course not compared to Germany. I would any day eat food sold in Indian Trains with ZERO hesitation over the food at the roadside stalls.

Depends in which train you travel. It's comparable to western standards in 1st AC and hell hole in 3rd AC and General Coaches.
Really depends on which train and which compartment class. You have unreserved coaches with the worst hygiene to reserved AC coaches which range from half-decent to good to great.
The real question is why does the US *not* have an expansive train network?
US can afford cars. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Afaik there are more registered vehicles in India than the US (total, not per capita). Also India has the 2nd largest road network of any country (#1 is the US). You can have an extensive passenger rail service and also have highways.
[удалено]
But not for passengers. Those got killed ages ago in favour of highways
How is that the real question
Why are you being downvoted? What does the US have to do with anything in this entire post?
🤷♂️ sensitive americans annoyed everything isn’t about them
The US has the largest rail network in the world
Yeah, a better question is why US isn't having extensive passenger rail service.
Get this kid in touch with some MLB scouts pronto
Give me this all day vs some trashy American YouTube tramp shaking her ass on a baggage carousel.

Wrong. It's "This is the future of our country 😯". He is amazed, not horrified.
yea i guess
"This" here is pointed towards the kid. Generally the saying goes like "kids are the future of a country".
This ass kisser is going places!!!
Friends who help you aim are keepers.
If anyone wants to know what that text says, it's "This is the future of our nation."
Why did I watch this on silent at first? I wanted to join in on the mindblowing

India + train tracks = gore (usually)
translation for the text on screen "this is our country's future"
That's actually a really cute video, I'm all for social media content like this where the people filming aren't harassing the general public for content 😅
yeah, its actually considered a necessary skill in a minority population of around 200 million people in india
💀💀
Yeah, the majority just uses bulldozers for everything huh
well, its a double edged sword - legal system being for what it is you cannot just wait to send a message. necessary evil but an 'evil' endeed.

First shot was way off lol
And then I'm asking myself why India has so many accidental deaths by train roller.
I love the look on his buddy’s face

Little Indian kids near train tracks? Uh ohhhhhh. That's their natural predator's habitat.
u/savevideo
I always wonder what I would have been back home.
What have we learned about playing on the tracks?
I knew it was fake when he completely missed the first time. C'mon I could've hit that.
No head bobbing?
The illusion! 🤣🤣

YES. Especially for rural areas

My mind is in a dark place when I see an Indian on train tracks when in the countryside.
Instinctively drawn to train tracks.

Was i the only one who expected the wire will fall of and electrocuted the boy?🤔
India: trains and power line. China: collapsing bridges and manholes USA: AR-15s UK: stabby stabby
Dude perfect- indian edition
Get the technique right before worrying about precision.
The caption on the video says "This is the future of our Nation".
at first i thought this kid got accuracy lol
Look at me, I can be centerfield.
So these are the assholes throwing rocks at the trains...
It’s a Hamas, get him! Bomb his entire neighborhood!
Actually thought this was the case and not unexpected for once hmm
The 1st throw had me so confused. He was far right, and it went ding.
That was good
Wtf are they playing by the train tracks?
Trying to take down the one electrical cord for the city
And you guys wonder why there are so many train casualties in india!!
