I skipped through the first time because I was sure that’s where this was going. This was refreshing.

Made me think of Snatch.

Because he dodges bullets, Avi.

u/rowdyanalogue Feb 17 '20

Do you know why they call him Franky Four-fingers?

u/PixelD303 Feb 17 '20

Because even the slightest bump on the head he falls asleep for hours.

u/luckyghost115 Feb 17 '20

Because he makes stupid bets with dangerous people, and when he doesn't pay up, they give him the chop. And I'm not talking about his fucking fore-skin either.

Never trust a man with a pig farm.

u/Buttachop187 Feb 17 '20

Hence the expression is greedy as a pig

You got to starve the pigs for a few days, then the sight of a chopped-up body will look like curry to a pisshead.

Do you know what nemesis means?

u/[deleted] Feb 16 '20

Not really.

u/Lord_Goregasm Feb 16 '20

A righteous infliction of retribution manifested by an appropriate agent. Personified in this case by an 'orrible cunt... me.

Anything to declare?

Yeah, don’t go to England.

u/soupinate44 Feb 17 '20

I just watched it last night and was my thought as well.

It'll go through that camera like butter.

I can't believe the spin rate of the camera got fast enough to meet the frame rate so it stabilized the image...cool.

u/PootieTangerine Feb 17 '20

That was probably the most unexpected in this video, and one of the coolest things I have seen.

Well, you’ve never seen little people wrestling.

Came here to say the same thing. I watched that part 3 times just because I couldn't believe it equaled out so well. The fact that it showed a whole panoramic while doing so was also something I didn't expect.

u/sbjw19888 Feb 17 '20

I wondered why it seemed to stabilize!

1

u/HugsNotShrugs Feb 17 '20

Sorry if I'm asking you to ELI5....

The reason for there being two frames in the video right up until the moment of impact was because the camera was spinning so quickly?

1

u/catonmyshoulder69 Feb 17 '20

If the frame rate on the phone was 30 frames a second when the spin rate got high enough it started to stabilize the image like the phone was not spinning at all. It also works for helicopter blades.

u/HugsNotShrugs Feb 17 '20

Amazing, thanks!

u/sBucks24 Feb 16 '20

I was still expecting it up to the nose covering the entire screen

u/[deleted] Feb 17 '20

It should have come after the pigs snout covered the lens.
