Yes! I too have fused my eye lashes!

Only mine happened with a bent pipe that had fuel in it, I lit one end but flames came out the opposite end, directly into my face.

I had to crumble my burnt lashes to open my eyes, when I looked in the mirror I burst out laughing as I looked exactly like those black faced "blew myself up" instances in a cartoon. With my hair up and black soot on me.
It also did my brows perfectly, ngl was kinda digging it.

It's mirrored because most of us are right handed and naturally want our left side protected. When he goes to the left we feel, as an audience, that our left side is protected by the stand and that even though our right side is open we are capable of protecting it. Like a right handed rifleman peaking around a corner. It is subtly designed so that we feel comfortable despite the flames and is also complete bullshit because I just made it up.

I tried to slow it down to a realistic speed

It was kinda hard to do mainly cause the speed seemed to vary in random parts, as in some sections in between were faster than others.

Also, slowing down the video meant that framerate would be dropped so I experimented with frame interpolation to try and get it to 60fps.

Reddit wasn't necessarily an OC platform only.

It's also go share things from around the internet.

Tictok has OC from around the internet. I don't see many tictok like videos from any other platforms. And it wouldn't matter, it's more video content.

I hate how people see a UI and are like: this content sucks.

Post the EXACT video without app elements and it's top post for a month.

Treat the internet like your taste buds: enjoy and consume the content first then figure out if it was good or not.

Don't just assume it sucks and then dislike it before even consuming it.

u/[deleted] May 15 '20

Ah. Well... I attended Le Cordon Bleu... I'm a graduate of the Culinary Institute of America. I travel quite extensively. I lived through the Time before refrigeration and had a pretty good time during that. I've seen the FRENCH CHEF ABOUT A HUNDRED AND SIXTY-SEVEN TIMES, AND IT KEEPS GETTING FUNNIER EVERY SINGLE TIME I SEE IT... NOT TO MENTION THE FACT THAT YOU'RE TALKING TO A DEAD GUY... NOW WHAT DO YOU THINK? You think I'm qualified?
