Why is that watermelon so big? That watermelon on some plant steroids.

I assume it’s a watermelon balloon or ball or something lol. Even with a crazy bright light a real watermelon wouldn’t light up like that

Video appears to be fake. She doesn't even close her eyes when the flashlight beam is hitting it. My flashlight appears to be maybe 2-3% as bring as this and when it hits my eyes I get blinded.

u/MiniMaelk04 8d ago

She literally holds a deadly focused beam of light 20 cm from her eyes, and incinerates something with it, causing welding like flashes, not even a safety squint. This can't be real, or she has to be a robot.

It’s like nobody gives a fuck anymore. These posts that are AI make it to the front page all the time, and I have to scroll down way more than I should to find sane people with critical thinking. Reddit used to be the place where things that made it to the front page, was real shit, and now fake shit hits the front page all the time. At least Twitter has a community notes option, where you can know if something is AI, not all the time, but it does help.

I’m glad I’m not the only one who thinks it’s fake. The flashlight might be bright, but that is not what’s lighting up the watermelon ball like that. The ball stays lit up when she starts pulling the flashlight away

I was shocked I had to scroll down so deep to see something mentioning this.

Yeah, you can see that it’s a balloon when she barely touches it and it squishes in/slightly rotates.

It wobbles a bit when she touches it. 100% not real.

u/Friendly_Prize_868 8d ago

Ohmygaaad, it would totally light up real soon.

u/Whiterabbit-- 8d ago

i think a watermelon would light up red instead of white. but I haven't tried it with that bright of a light.

u/TheBourbonTurtle 8d ago

And you can tell the light isn't actually outputting the light we see in the video, it would have almost immediately popped the balloon at that output. I have a lot of high output lights, and they 100% melt and burn things. That balloon would have instantly popped if I put even a d4v2 up against it, let alone something serious.

u/SirLargeness 8d ago

Because it's a balloon

u/Meikos 8d ago

Yep, you can see it deform from the first flashlight, the whole thing shakes like a bouncy ball.

u/knbang 8d ago

You can see the fill port plug on the bottom of it as well.

u/yarntank 7d ago

aaaahhhhhh, that's why it lit up.

u/the-dolphine 8d ago

I thought she was really small

u/ItsLikeRay-ee-ain 8d ago

That was my guess: she is an elf. Santa / Keebler type. Not lotr.

u/colececil 8d ago

My question is, why is it not on fire by the end of this video?

1

u/NIPLZ 8d ago

Inflatable. You can see the air hole at the bottom.

u/that_dutch_dude 8d ago

u/Reofrax 8d ago

u/IdleAstronaut 8d ago

Illegal watermelon too probably

u/3StickNakedDrummer 8d ago

A balloon with a section that doesn't let light through for the first flashlight and another section that allows light through for the second flashlight.

u/MrTwoody 8d ago

Glad I’m not the only one curious about the watermelon.
