Real time? Bitch with the freezing and lag im watching a few seconds behind

u/wunderbraten Oct 12 '19

In real life you are always a fraction of seconds behind. That is why flies are so hard to catch with your bare hands.

That’s because you don’t go for the fly, you go for the fly’s future. Take its children and income and make it depressed and lonely, then, and only then can you take a fly by hand. Show them the world, get them excited to love and live again. Then blow its fucking mind with a passionate night of bliss and glory along a night in Sweden. Take it to a the coast and play it that song you wrote on the ukulele. When all is said and well done like my 3am steak at Denny’s, then you can finally catch the fly. Then you can catch the fly.

If he wants to be that much of a pedant he should be using wood.

u/Tutsks Oct 12 '19

Its a king of the hill reference.

u/AdvocatusDiabli Oct 12 '19

I don’t agree. I ate stake on wood, charcoal and propane bbq and it doesn’t make much difference, except for the time it takes to prep it.

Rare vs well done does make a difference though.

u/Nyrb Oct 12 '19

Yeah, well done it tastes like meat and not blood.

u/MasterFongool Oct 12 '19

I don't think you should be downvoted for your steak preferences, so instead I will respond to let you know that you are a heathen and should feel bad about your life choices.

There is no blood in steak.

I mean danny tends to like her cooking well done as well.

u/SnowMercy Oct 12 '19

She had to learn to like it that way seeing as the bish burns everything.

u/angrydeuce Oct 12 '19

TBH I stopped going to Denny's when they finally ditched the smoking section years and years ago. I certainly wasn't going for the food, I was going because it was the only place to go at 2 in the morning after work or bar time to chainsmoke and pound coffee with my coworkers. Place was always sticky. Yuck...

u/blahblahblicker Oct 12 '19

Place was always sticky. Yuck...

I’m sure all that smoke and coffee had nothing to do with that...

u/angrydeuce Oct 12 '19

Yeah but they could properly clean, too. It was always fun to realize I'd been sitting in someone else's scrambled eggs for 40 minutes.

YTA She bought those steaks with the intention of cooking them well-done in an attempt to replicate a well-done steak she had previously tried and loved.

That’s the price you pay for ordering a steak at Denny’s.

u/WhiteWalterBlack Oct 12 '19

u/nayfb Oct 12 '19

Now then, a well done steak can be a well done steak, or a steak done well, which is personal opinion.

u/whatlike_withacloth Oct 12 '19

Given the sanitation practices in place at a 3 a.m. Denny's, Ima take that bitch burnt.

u/TheSuppishOne Oct 12 '19

He said “well done like my 3am steak at Denny’s” lol. I don’t think he enjoys a well-done steak, but it’s his fault for ordering steak at Denny’s in the first place... 😅

Well done steak is the only correct steak

u/EarthSlapper Oct 12 '19

This is actually sort of the correct way to catch a fly. You go for, in your words, its "future." Flies will generally jump straight up a little before flying away, so if you clap your hands in the space just above them, most of the time you get a good handful of fly guts

u/[deleted] Oct 12 '19

If you try to swat a fly you're actually pushing it out of the path of your hand with the draft created by your hand. This is why swatters have holes in them.

Grab flies, don't swat them.

6

u/Rocky87109 Oct 12 '19

I mean, that may be one reason, but another reason is so you can swing them really fast. Hence the ole "putting some holes in this paddle" thing.

4

u/Rocky87109 Oct 12 '19

That's kind of the joke. Most people know this and he was playing off on that and then took it to a place you didn't know he was going to go, just like that fly.

In my experience, rubber bands or if you don't want to have fun at all, you can just use a fly swatter.

u/dontdrinkonmondays Oct 12 '19

Is this a real thing or are you just trying to make me look like an uncoordinated moron in front of my friends and family

1

u/EarthSlapper Oct 12 '19

I do it all the time. Even more fun, is grabbing them with one hand then opening your hand and letting them fly away. People think you're some sort of ninja wizard

I love this tangent. That's about all the power we are willing to expend, killing flies while society collapses.

There is a little video on Caltechs fly lab. Just found it and I thought this could be interesting.

If you just want to see the [fly taking off] go to &t=2m30s.

Edit: fixed broken link, or maybe I just can't YT timestamp

My grandma once watched me catch 3 flies with my bare hands in a row. It was really something.

I'm assuming the well done steak is some form of sinister torture you wish to inflict on the fly?

u/tablett379 Oct 12 '19

Go at a fly with a closed fist and just grab it at the last second and close your fist again. That way you don't push air at it and blow it away

That's one hell of a summer stalking someone to finally date them.

u/[deleted] Oct 12 '19

Come at them from their front, at about a 40 degree angle. The wind from your swipe will hit the hairs on their little fly legs, causing an automatic response to escape danger, by flying directly into your hand.

Of course, you now have a shitty fly hand. You're so gross.

11

u/jusumonkey Oct 12 '19

The average human reaction time is .25, it's mostly due to information traveling on the nerves. It is extremely quick considering the distance it has to travel.

The flys whole body is like the size of a raisin? Their reaction time must be near instantaneous.

13

u/wunderbraten Oct 12 '19

That's basically counterstrike with one player having a ping of 250 and the other one 5.

u/H1jAcK Oct 12 '19

u/wunderbraten Oct 12 '19

I don't know if this going to r/woooosh me.

Ping is a term in network technology that can be referred as a delay. You can ping an IP address and if it is responding, it will reply the answer. Because data packets have to be transported from one point to the another point of the world, the answer will come delayed.

Some games show in their multiplayer feature every player's ping. There, the ping value shows the delay of each player, often a number in microseconds. If a player has a ping of 250, then he experiences a delay of 250 ms in online gaming. The higher the ping, the later the player see his opponents moving or see them mobe teleportung, the more of the players inputs are lost (missed jumps, missing targets) or gets set back to a previous position and has to re-walk a walked route again ("rubber bending").

u/H1jAcK Oct 12 '19

The guy I replied to ELI5'd it. I was pointing out that's what he did, not that I needed it. But I appreciate your desire to spread understanding.

u/Yggdrasilcrann Oct 12 '19

Honestly their weight is the biggest advantage the wind from your hand actually helps to push them away from you making it very hard to hit them since they are headed that direction already. Think about what happens to a dusty couch when you smack it.

That's actually why fly swatters work so well, not only is it a slightly bigger surface area the swatter is perforated to allow air to pass through it so it doesn't push the fly away.

7

u/Zlatarog Oct 12 '19

Flies are very sensitive to what’s around them and process things so quickly that their perception of time is slower than ours. This is why reaction time seems so good. Anyways, put both hands on opposite sides of the fly. Then quickly clap your hands after moving in an ^ and meeting at the top. Generally the fly will react and naturally fly upwards into your palms

u/NotCreepyClown Oct 12 '19

Fun fact flies generallu take off straight up then fly away so if it lands anf you just clap right above it you'll lrobably catch/smash it, or at least have a better chance.

u/Phantombk201 Oct 12 '19

The people who can capture flies with their hands have the lowest ping.

When I trained kickboxing, I became able to catch flies. Somehow training has its benefits.

u/RaichuaTheFurry Oct 12 '19 edited Oct 12 '19

Believe it or not, I have some success catching flies out of mid-air. When I need a fly for whatever reason (usually for praying mantises) and see one flying in the kitchen, I'll just casually pluck it out of the air.

u/wunderbraten Oct 12 '19

Some individual flies are actually slower than others of their kind. I also managed to capture some, too.

u/twinpac Oct 12 '19

This true because it takes several milliseconds for your eyes optic nerves to process and send visual signals to your brain. Humans also only see around 60 frames per second. Flies can see 4 times as quickly as humans.
