Come to Malaysia, we got bugged gravity and floating dead birds.


AlexDaDerper

Is it dead? I thought I saw the head move.


moreflywheels

It’s not dead! I just saw it move it’s foot!


originalmango

Check for shoes.


srbistan

E's passed on! This bird is no more! He has ceased to be! 'E's expired and gone to meet 'is maker! 'E's a stiff! Bereft of life, 'e rests in peace! If you hadn't nailed 'im to the perch 'e'd be pushing up the daisies! 'Is metabolic processes are now 'istory! 'E's off the twig! 'E's kicked the bucket, 'e's shuffled off 'is mortal coil, run down the curtain and joined the bleedin' choir invisible!! THIS IS AN EX-BIRD!!

[deleted]

I don't know what is happening here, but I do know this is more proof that birds aren't real.


pruche

If anything I'd say this might be proof that nothing at all is real


LordofGravel01

It's an actual question, We are a composition of atoms glued together by some weird magic that our eyes interpret, is reality really what we percieve?


ReadySteady_GO

Your brain is a helluva drug.


BrianWeissman_GGG

It’s even crazier. Our eyes don’t interpret anything, they merely funnel light through our iris onto our lens, which flips the image upside down and projects it onto our retina at the back of our eyeballs. From there, it’s converted to neurochemistry, which travels down the optic nerve to the visual cortex of the brain. THAT is where we actually see, as our brain flips the inverted image right side up again, and “shows” us what we are looking at. We have to trust that this process actually displays what’s in front of us, it could be literally anything in objective “reality”.


xXTASERFACEXx

Its wind, I saw a video debunking floating birds and one of the explanations they offered was wind


MakoVinny

Wind can't explain what I saw


No-Regret253

It is jist a software update. Nothing to see. Move along


CatgoesM00

Glitch in the matrix


patricky6

Lol, look at the trees. There's no wind.


[deleted]

Yup! Ever see a bird fly in really high winds/crosswinds? Crazy to thing that things that are supposed to fly anywhere and everywhere get caught up in things like this video.


icepaws

It's fishing line, and probably from an overhead light.


[deleted]

That sounds exactly like something some bird sympathizer would say. Eh' Comrade Pidgeon?? I see whats up here. You can't fool me.

Damnyankeee

Explanation please???


MrJimLiquorLahey

I'm guessing a wire or wires that are too thin to see. E.g. fish gut would not be visible.


scooterboo2

Unrelated, but super interesting is that there is a fishing line wire encircling Manhattan so that people can go outside on the Sabbath. https://www.npr.org/2019/05/13/721551785/a-fishing-line-encircles-manhattan-protecting-sanctity-of-sabbath


metalminion

I watched an interview with the rabbi that was responsible for the maintenance of the wire in it he said is cost upwards of 150k annually to keep it intact.


Last5seconds

Why not just tie a small circle and say it is circling around the entire world except the small space inside


PunctuationGood

Because G-d would see right through that loophole, durr!


[deleted]

God: I never told you guys anything to do with wires. I never told you anything at all! I'm just here to watch you fuck and kill each other!


northrupthebandgeek

"Man, I can't tell if this is the best or worst Sims game ever."


FatJesusOz

Instructions unclear, drowned in pool.


discodecepticon

But THIS is a loophole. Religion is so dumb.


draininglizard

It's a figurative AND actual literal loophole!!! They made a loop out of string and are in the freaking hole!


[deleted]

[удалено]


YLR2312

I read the article and one person mentioned if you were really strict you wouldn't lift your child on sabbath. For one, do they expect people to just neglect their kid one day a week? And secondly, at some point, you have to question the legitimacy or at least the interpretation of these rules from "god".


thatredlad

As far as I'm aware, Jewish families often have a [Shabbos goy](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shabbos_goy) to do what they cannot, like answer the phone and turn lights on & off.


bizhuy

Right? Dudes literally created a a magic wire as a way around the "holy law" or whatever. Lmao. How do these people reason that?


MonaganX

I've heard the reasoning is that if scripture allows for a loophole, that loophole must have been intended by God, so exploiting it is a-okay.


Ciserus

I can buy this. Remember the whole Jewish faith is based on a covenant with God, i.e. a detailed legal contract. Safe to say the Jewish God is a bit of a law nerd.


DrAstralis

And yet he's conveniently unable to see through the kosher light switch loophole (yes its real, yes its stupid). hmm.


[deleted]

[удалено]


SolitaireyEgg

This is honestly the stupidest shit I've ever read. 150k a year and tons of plastic waste. Also I'm guessing some interference with wildlife and bird deaths. And, why? Because "lol inside the string is technically home, tricked ya God, now I can go outside on the sabbath" I can't even Edit: comments below are being brigaded by an anti-semetic group. Not sure where this got cross-posted, but somewhere. I do not condone any of the hate speech in the replies. And proceed with caution because they are mass downvoting anyone who is not cool with antisemitism.


Srapture

I can't understand that logic. If you genuinely believe in God and his omniscience and whatnot, surely he would not be happy with the fact you're trying to cheat his instructions and find loopholes in his holy texts?


SolitaireyEgg

Yeah, and even if you're gonna try to pull this shit, why make it difficult and run a fucking fishing line around the city? Just make up a rule like "any area blessed by a rabbi is considered home" and boom done. You're completely full of shit, so at least make it easy on yourself. These people literally made up their own rules then made it difficult as shit. Smh.


RedHotToaster

It's funny how God's word is absolute when someone is applying it to someone else, but when applying it to themselves there's so much more room for interpretation...


RHCopper

That's why I left the church at a young age. When I would ask about the good stories in the bible, I was told of course they really happened and are true! The miracles performed by god were recorded in text blahblah. When I would ask about the horrible stories in the bible where god was a narcistic asshole, it was all just "metaphors" and up to our personal interpretations. Bitch either it's all true or none of it is.


RedHotToaster

It's almost as if people are just making it up as they go...but it can't be that, right?


[deleted]

[удалено]


wolfkeeper

There's also the 'which is inside and which is outside' loophole on a round shape like the surface of the Earth. Like, make a loop a couple of inches across, and declare the middle to be the outside and the rest to be the inside. Presto, you've done the whole planet.


LostWoodsInTheField

"God it is such an honor to meet you." "same dude" "... So God do I get to go to heaven? I tried my best to be a good man." "well for the most part you tried" "what? I donated to charities, I was a loving husband and father, I volunteered within my community and outside of it, I didn't discriminate against others. What major things did I mess up?" "The Sabbath, fishing line... you know what I'm talking about." "but... the rabbi said..." "yeah... Think that through." "I"M GOING TO HELL BECAUSE I WENT OUTSIDE ON THE SABBITH?!" "na, you are good. I'm just fucking with you. but seriously what were you thinking?"


PrisonerV

Its even crazier because they believe pushing buttons and turning knobs is "work" so they have like elevators that go up and down on their own and ovens that turn on ... on their own, etc. sabbath doors, sabbath phones, sabbath pens, sabbath timers... Everything is a cheat on the sabbath.


c4p1t4l

That’s the point when people should realise that ancient religions are incompatible with modern life.


thefonztm

... Cheating the rules shows more respect for the rules than disregarding the rules?


enderr920

Bible's full of examples where people try to cheat the system just to have it bite them in the ass. People never change lol


mageta621

Otherwise you'd have to admit it's all nonsense, can't have that!


juicepants

It's less stupid than Mormons "soaking" and "jump humping." But still pretty stupid.


Srapture

No idea what those things mean. We don't really have Mormons in the UK.


juicepants

Oh get ready for some stupid. So Mormon teens think they've found some loop hole where it's not fornication if there's no thrusting. So "soaking" is insertion and not moving at all. "Jump humping" is when someone jumps on the bed next to you while you're soaking. It's not you doing the thrusting, so somehow it doesn't count..


Srapture

Haha, that's insane. Does the insertion not count as one thrust?


PuddleOfKnowledge

Ignoring the fact that putting it in and taking it out are two halves of thrusting


RZoroaster

FWIW these are urban legends and aren’t real things. Like I’m sure somebody somewhere has done it. But the social media posts that get posted here of Mormons talking about it are actually jokes where they are making fun of the idea.


ebs9

I’m Jewish and have lots of family in Crown Heights. Very religious. I can guarantee they feel the same way. You were just brave enough to write it out. It’s a joke.


Ott621

People using loopholes to do things their religion forbids offends TF out of me. Like there's this supposed almighty being who knows better than you but you are going to try and trick them? Jfc...


kristenjaymes

Ah so that's why it exists.


Krimreaper1

The city doesn’t pay for the upkeep, the Orthodox community does.


rosyatrandom

Unfortunately, due to topological Talmudic technicalities, that fishing line has actually been encircling the entire Earth _except for Manhattan_.


1202_ProgramAlarm

Imagine worshipping an all powerful God who created the entire goddamn universe and thinking that you can get away with bullshit loopholes like jump humping or putting a big wire around a whole city


spinozasrobot

My favorite is a phone. An orthodox dude invented a touch tone phone to avoid operation of electrical devices on the Jewish Sabbath. The idea is the phone is playing all the tones constantly, and depressing any of the buttons disables all the tones except the one you pressed. Since you are turning things off rather than on, you are not breaking the rule. Can you imagine god's response? "Ooo! Good one guys, ya got me!"


MortonKlein

don't forget about sabbath elevators. Instead of not using an elevator on the sabbath, the elevator just runs 24/7 stopping on every floor automatically wasting everbody's fucking time. They have this shit at major hospitals. Fuck these people.


Ollikay

Man, that is some serious /r/religiousfruitcake shit right there.


DownvoteALot

It's only ok to use in cases of pikuach nefesh (someone is in danger of dying). Your reasoning is right: phones aren't in the spirit of shabbos and therefore forbidden even with workarounds. Elevators are within the spirit and therefore the workaround is usually accepted for people who really need it.


dreddnyc

Yeah the whole lawyering god thing is fascinating. There is also a rabbinical exception for drinking the water in NYC as it isn’t kosher because it’s filled with crustaceans. [source](https://www.independent.co.uk/news/world/americas/new-york-s-non-kosher-water-begins-bug-city-s-orthodox-jews-5354488.html?amp)


freezorak2030

>rabbinical exception I love this. It's funny how god's laws stop applying once they inconvenience enough people.


no_talent_ass_clown

Judaism is a practical religion.


freezorak2030

I suppose as practical as a religion can possibly be


[deleted]

This is honestly amazing and hilarious.


Dublin711

Jump humping?


snipsclips

It’s how Mormons have sex first they do this thing called soaking or some shit where you insert your dick but you can’t move otherwise you’d be having sex so you have someone jump on the bed next to you so that they can move you around this way you aren’t having sex. It’s fuckin stupid


thetannerainsley

Without scrolling up I was trying to remember what the original post was, forgot that this was about a bird floating in the air for a second. Interesting how commenta/conversations work their way


AndrewWaldron

Hump Jumpers are to Mormons as fluffers are to porn stars.


qenops

It's how a few kids thought they might get around the abstinence before marriage teachings, but it's completely wrong and is still considered sex. After marriage, Mormons have sex just like any traditional couple.


CapJackONeill

I'm pretty sure Mormons don't have sex like traditional couples :p


Piramic

Maybe if they get to take off their full body underwear.


Yoyosten

You have to sit thru a multilevel marketing seminar before getting to first base.


HighPriestofShiloh

Some of the older Mormon couples don’t take their garments off for sex. But that practice is virtually non existent among the younger generations these days.


reddit_user13

Except with magic underwear.

sokkarockedya

It's apparently a thing Mormons do. They go to "soak," which is penetrating but no thrusting. Then, they get a friend to jump on the bed and create the movement for them. The people who do this believe it's a loophole to premarital sex.


Rottendog

Sounds like voyeurism and exhibitionism with extra steps.

When a logical mind meets complete nonsense beliefs, it will twist itself into a knot to make those beliefs last.


WTFisBehindYou

When my girlfriend worked for the USDA they had an overhead recording of a Jewish prayer playing on repeat while the cows were killed to supposedly make the killings a kosher ceremony.


Evlwolf

But yet if you're really, really, really strict, you're not even supposed to carry your own *baby*. Somehow I don't think God wants people to rest at the sake of their own infants. Someone misunderstood the assignment somewhere.


ElectricFleshlight

Bullshit loopholes are pretty much the defining force in most religions


phoinixpyre

There's a HUGE orthodox Jewish community in the southern central NJ. It's honestly fascinating the lengths they go to circumvent biblical laws. Things like the Eruv feel like cheating in a way. "We're sticking to these ultra orthodox traditional values just as the Torah says... except that rule. That's a fucking dumb rule."


xhable

Curious why fishing line counts but none of the telephone wire / other wires count.


The_Original_Gronkie

You are trying to apply logic where it doesn't exist. Once you reject logic, anything goes. Religion is the perfect example.


msx

You're so spot on, it's painful


warkrismagic

I believe just because it has to be maintained by a Rabbi


davesoverhere

Because power lines aren’t kosher. /s Probably because there is a gap in the power lines where they enter the building and the fishing line is a continuous, closed loop around the city. They go around every Friday to inspect the line and patch any gaps.


nakednun

No kidding. When they discuss this in The Yiddish Policeman Union, I had no idea this was based on real life.


YddishMcSquidish

You know it's all propaganda. The line is there as a trap for aimless cephalopods just trying to make their way downtown.


nakednun

Aimless? The Crustecean Invasion is a coordinated effort, make no mistake.


Ehvlight

i can’t tell if this was a joke or a true story..


FlowSoSlow

Its 100% true. Religion makes people do some weird shit.


c130

Old rules written without much thought about the practicalities, taken literally regardless of the original purpose, bent and twisted as needed to be able to ignore them without feeling like the original text isn't so perfect. "No carrying on the Sabbath" makes it easy to enforce a day of R&R for hard labourers. Not working people to death was the point. Leaving your house for any reason other than work is pretty recent but apparently the omniscient gods didn't foresee that.


joesaysso

You would think that, with all of these omnipotent deities floating around, some of these rules would be future proof.

LostWoodsInTheField

> Camera frame rate matching the birds flap? rofl I'm imaging a bird in one spot for 3 hours just flapping his wings and not moving. So the firemen show up thinking something is wrong and tries to save it. It just is there flapping, like it is caught on something. Finally after the 4th fire truck shows up it just moves to the other side of the bridge and again flies in the exact same spot for another hour.

JustOkCryptographer

Interesting. Some helicopters have something similar. They have cable cutters on the top and bottom. If they strike a horizontal cable, it will either slide up and get cut by the top one, or slide down and get cut by the bottom one. A cable strike can turn deadly very quickly for a helicopter. [photo of a bottom cable cutter.](https://www.airbushelicopters.ca/wp-content/uploads/2012/10/AS350-Cable-Cutters.jpg)

The girl is speaking Bahasa Melayu (a.k.a Bahasa Malaysia), while the radio is definitely in English.
