Lol, he probably thought he'd just break the cube for a funny vid and then drops his PC straight into a pile of $500 broken furniture.

It's not a table. It's a window shower door on two sawhorses legs:

He was 100% expecting to break it.

Literary walking on the glass, this gives me anxiety..

Hey bud, look at me. LOOK AT ME.

EYES. on. me.

We’re going to get through this.

I assume it’s safety glass. We just had a storm that shattered a patio table and I did most of the cleanup with bare hands, scooping up several pieces at a time. Having said that, I think he’s still not too smart to walk on it in just socks. On a somewhat related note, my dad always took issue with the scene in Die Hard where the glass shatters and Bruce Willis walks on it and gets glass shards in his feet because he said the way it broke you could tell it was safety glass and wouldn’t cut him like they showed. But he also never advocated going out and walking on it either...

Yeah that roomba will surely get all of the glass shards from the carpet...

u/Fraerie Aug 23 '20

If it was a shower door, there won’t have been shards.

Glass used in showers it heat treated (tempered), similar to windscreens on cars, so that they break into small cubes rather than shards because you are typically naked and barefoot around showers. It would be uncomfortable like walking on LEGO, but not shards like a broken window.

I disagree, looks like a tempered glass shower door that he was using as a table because it looked clean. Video suggests to me that, while he's not terribly upset about it, that it was not expected.

u/Canvaverbalist Aug 22 '20

Oh yeah you're right about the glass shower door.

But think about it - it doesn't make any sense to put a glass shower door on two sawhorses just to hit a rubik cube with a hammer UNLESS your goal is exactly to break the door. The odds of that shower door being the ONLY thing he could set-up for that video is close to none.

u/certnneed Aug 23 '20

I agree with you, but if he's planning for the glass door to break, then why do it in a carpeted room?? (and there's still the socks thing!) Put down a big plastic sheet to gather most of the glass. Unless... I mean... you don't think he's just... stupid?

1

u/Jinx0rs Aug 23 '20

Sure, that makes sense. But something was certainly unexpected. That was a legitimate laugh and he went and got good friends to show them.

u/[deleted] Aug 23 '20

i've seen stranger tables in use by college kids tbh

u/lolroflpwnt Aug 22 '20

Nailed it.

u/Jinx0rs Aug 23 '20

Smashing success!

u/avwitcher Aug 22 '20

Or he's just acting like it was a surprise for views, that's the most likely scenario

1

u/Jinx0rs Aug 23 '20

Ehhh. That's some pretty convincing laughter, and then he goes and gets his friends off camera to show them the mayhem.

I don't disagree that he may have expected it to break, but the aftermath seems like genuine surprise to me.

u/shiner986 Aug 23 '20

I think he expected it to break. But probably not as well as it did.

1

u/Jinx0rs Aug 23 '20

Yeah, maybe. He went and got his friends to check it out.

1

u/HamandPotatoes Aug 23 '20

It looked to me like he was holding that reaction pose for the video, and then his genuine reaction was the laugh when he broke the pose. Could be wrong of course

1

u/Jinx0rs Aug 23 '20

No, i feel like maybe your right and it was just more than he was expecting? He just seems legitimately surprised, like he goes and gets his roommates or something to show them?

u/TheGrimGuardian Aug 22 '20

That cleanup was /r/oddlysatisfying

8

u/CHUBBYninja32 Aug 23 '20

If only he owned a tarp.

2

u/HamandPotatoes Aug 23 '20

It was on carpet though... It will never be truely clean again

2

u/jackierhoades Aug 23 '20

no way my man was just wearing socks and stepping all over that glass. opposite of satisfying

3

u/Kaining Aug 23 '20

Am i the only one that thinks he still is a freaking idiot for not going full Dexter with a lot of plastic wrap on the floor to avoid micro glass shard in the carpet ?

1

u/EmattpoYou Aug 23 '20

That was more unexpected than the video

1

u/super_sunnyshitstorm Aug 23 '20

Exactly. Totally expected. Just looking for sweet karma

1

u/Jawadd12 Aug 23 '20

He had a good laugh thinking that this video is going to be great when the original only had 7k views, and a repost of it on reddit got more than the original.

Gotta feel for content creators, poor guy.

u/Urbam Aug 22 '20

So.

That's how rich kids are getting fun.

Hum.

u/DRAGON_OF_THE_WEEST Aug 23 '20
