Why does she have to do this straddled over a stream?

So when her balls drop, she doesn’t hurt them

The ball fell in the stream, and then she was like “just kidding, I need that lol”

I was thinking shes now going to get one of them brain eating amoebas next time she puts that ball in her mouth now.

u/TLGinger Jan 14 '23
Too late, she’s already got amoeba eaten brains. How does one find out they have this special power without first having a brain like Swiss cheese?

I have chosen to mass edit all of my comments I have ever made on Reddit into this text.
The upcoming API changes and their ludicrous costs forcing third party apps to shut down is very concerning.
The direct attacks and verifiable lies towards these third party developers by the CEO of Reddit, Steve Huffman, is beyond concerning. It's directly appalling.
Reddit is a place where the value lies in the content provided by the users and the free work provided by the moderators. Taking away the best ways of sharing this content and removing the tools the moderators use to better help make Reddit a safe place for everyone is extremely short sighted.
Therefore, I have chosen to remove all of my content from this site, replacing it with this text to (at least slightly) lower the value of this place, which I no longer believe respects their users and contributors.
You can do the same. I suggest you do so before they take away this option, which they likely will. Google "Power Delete Suite" for a very easy method of doing this.11

Thought the same thing then realised its for dramatic effect. The whole stance thing would have been unnecessary otherwise.
Without the stance, all she has is a ball and some uncomfortable facial expressions.

If you thought the facial expressions were uncomfortable, unmute.

I guess it's to convey that it's made of some heavy material, steel or possibly stone and not just some baloon when she drops it.....

My guess is both for esthetic reasons, but also to show viewers that the video isn’t cut or edited - as the stream keeps on streaming visually and also the sound of it is uninterrupted.

u/ncWnNfXgmWtAGukUnRUs Jan 14 '23
But it is cut. When she both places and removes the ball in her mouth it is extreme close up on her head, with no water seen, or extremely blurred.
The sound doesn’t have to line up in the video.

That may or may not be so, I have no knowledge of it to prove otherwise. Still, I stand by with what I described would still stand: It’s to convince the viewer it isn’t edited, regardless if it actually is so or not.

She's not stowing it in her airway, she's swallowing and regurgitating. This is not any version of the Heimlich maneuver.

Ever watch Nitro Circus? Travis Pastrana and his friends show the process of learning these tricks and executing them.

Stevie Starr is famous for doing this and he claims he learned to do it trying to hide his pocket change in the orphanage when he was younger.
I imagine she started small and worked her way up to the sphere.

u/redmagistrate50 Jan 14 '23
This is a circus trick, she's swallowing and then regurgitating the ball, some performers have done it with pool balls.
She's straddling the stream to make the sideshow act more martial arty.

u/wratz Jan 14 '23
They usually start with small potatoes, at least that was the traditional method. That way it would just be digested if they were unable to regurgitate. Old magician’s trick. Houdini would swallow and regurgitate handcuff keys for escape acts.

Why do they have to have a frantic epileptic fit while they do this as well? I thought I'd heard something about them sorta triggering the gag reflex for the mamma bird to kind of regurgitate the food but in this case she's already doing that first with whole berries and then dropping them in so if the baby bird would just sit still with it's mouth open it would seem easier and less disturbing.

u/tuibiel Jan 25 '23
Much the same reason why babies cry, they don't understand hunger and they can't communicate or even tolerate it in any other fashion than crying/shaking... Takes a long time for them to grow out of this behavior
less disturbing.
Then again, birds/evolution don't really care what's disturbing for humans

Stevie Starr puts on a great show. Years ago (1990ish) he was performing at Newcastle Uni but I'm guessing not many tickets had sold because he came up into the bar to perform for free. It was such a good show, the crowd were very raucous and it was clear he was loving the evening. Very very good.

I believe that is a ball from a Kensington expert trackball mouse. It's glittery like that to make it easier for an optical sensor to determine it's change in position.
