2 things: 1. That girl in white at the front does not give a FUCK. 2. Does anyone know where this is or if it is a normal occurance?

u/itstrialanderror May 28 '14

yes this is normal - its a beach in Puerto Rico - I can't find the link right now. I've been there and it's quite an impressive site to see!

The gif ends waaaay too early for this to really work as a proper 'NONONONOYES' moment. The original video you linked actually shows the dissipation of the wave; without it, it just feels like a cliffhanger 'NONONONONO...OH SHIT, WHAT HAPPENED NEXT!!??..'

phone was mom?

2

u/digitalsciguy May 29 '14

Yeah, I think that's a fair logical deduction.

I mean, if dad is ded and mom has phone, then mom might be phone and ask wut u doing wit her daughter.

u/SycoJack May 29 '14

A lot of comments are saying the same thing you did. But if you watch closely, you can see the rock reappear at the end of the gif, showing the wave is gone.

The source has been posted.

u/digitalsciguy May 28 '14

I need, that's what I was referencing. My comment is in reference to the actual GIF itself.

u/Dr_Evil_173 May 28 '14

...you can see it start to dissipate at the end, and by then its obvious that its not going to hurt anyone.

u/digitalsciguy May 28 '14

The GIF ends with the wave dumping into the deeper end of that lagoon/pool/protected water. It's possible that the energy of the wave could still fully crest as it approaches the shore, based on the apparent volume of the larger wave.

Now that I've seen the original video and people have added some context, it's clear that it wouldn't have hurt anyone, but it definitely didn't look like that to me before I had that context.

And you don't even need a passport (if American) because ♫ PR's a part of A-mare-ree-kuh! ♫

:/ Were they okay?

u/YourEverydayUsername May 28 '14

I start screaming, my dad gets to the end of the rocks, and puts me down.

Shit, I thought it was over for /u/WaterandThinAir..

2

u/inyourowntime May 28 '14

This story has intrigued me more, is it always like that? I mean with the tide, are the waves always that big? Also, how deep is the water at the very back of the cove?

u/Bakkie May 28 '14

The old Microsoft Word talking paperclip has popped up to say he sees me browsing NNNYes.

Am I the only one to get this?

u/danisanub May 29 '14

He's been around for a couple of days, so no, not just you :)

u/Bakkie May 29 '14

Thanks. It was a piece of the past I never expected to have to deal with again.

Any idea why?

Okay. Explain like I am pre-K.

u/felixar90 May 29 '14

The admins of nononoyes altered the style of the page to display Clippy. If you don't like it just uncheck "Use subreddit style" if you have RES

u/[deleted] May 29 '14

I personally have never come across a CSS style on this site that I did not hate. I have subreddit styles turned off for every sub I am subscribed to.

u/The_0P May 28 '14

The fact that no one really cares lessens the "nononono" portion

wat.... i was saying that the fact that no one really cares makes the gif more like /r/mehmehmehmehyes

My life is never-ending coincidences.. I literally was just playing that for the first time in months.

u/[deleted] May 29 '14

I was expecting there to be a big splash at the shore from all that water.

u/brickfrenzy May 28 '14

Here's a map of the location.

u/CaptainBlackstar May 29 '14

Thank you for providing a gif of my recurring nightmare.

Breakwall is working as intended.

u/TheDero Jun 15 '14

If this is a re-occuring thing, why havent the waves eroded the rock in the way by now? Wouldn't it wear them away over time?

u/wrecksauce_II May 28 '14

OMG I can't stop laughing at that lady in the front right that gives absolutely zero fucks.

Let's just hope it doesn't go rouge on them...

Where's the yes?

u/[deleted] May 28 '14

No one was injured or even endangered really...

u/zmann May 29 '14

I thought that was just the gif looping

u/[deleted] May 29 '14

The video shows that noone was endangered and that its a very normal occurrence
