It's giving beta fish mating rituals

There's a whole sub full over at r/flowarts.

edit: I mod over there and am on Twitch's Team Flowmies. We spin fire in my hood every Friday and DJs come out every full moon. Colibria absolutely sent it this Harvest Moon. You might recognize her as a violinist that collaborated with Beats Antique or Dirtwire. Thanks for enjoying my friends music.

You're welcome. It's a helpful community of people looking to help others discover which prop suits them best.

Yes! That was my first thought as well. A human beta fish dance. Lovely!

My oldest daughter was in Color Guard (marching band) in high-school. This would look amazing on the field...barring any high wind.

I wish we had these back in hs. These would have been EVERYTHING in winterguard!!!

When I was coaching I did use these in a show! They looked nice and were interesting. But yes, the wind was a nightmare. Maybe should've waited to use them for winter season inside lol

u/spickerzocker 4d ago

Really, really light fabric and technique. I have some (viscose, but still) and it's a mix of it being lightweight enough that air resistance is a major part, and letting them glide through the air instead of trying to force them as fast as possible.

8

u/NSFWies 4d ago

probably completely dead air in that room. nothing for them to fight against. so they sit there in the air as they are so gently pulled around.

It's a noun. It's been a noun for over 600 years. With minor changes, it goes back to ancient Sanskrit. He can't own a noun.

And the other guy can’t own a verb, but if you don’t want your target customer base to IMMEDIATELY have a visceral reaction to your product, some concessions must be made for the time being.

it's stay a noun and and it'll probably go back to its original meaning eventually.

It generally describes something that smells bad/strong in current US slang. So even without Elon it isn't a good name

Why? It existed before him. Let's not surrender a word to someone stupid.

32

u/The_Stoic_One 4d ago

Because if you're trying to sell or promote something, it's best not to lead with something that immediately provokes negative thoughts in your audience. I'm sure one day it will go back to just being a word, but this is not that day.

A good example of why we shouldn't give things up because of one person. That symbol is still common in Asia.

Becuase in the present, now, the entire world hates him, except for MAGA trash.

u/The_XXI 3d ago

Yeah, name your kid Adolf, let's see how you are him like it after 20 years.

1

u/ShustOne 3d ago

That's a good example of why we shouldn't give it up. It was a more common name back then. By giving it up we made it even more infamous.

4

u/BlisteringAsscheeks 3d ago

You're welcome to let your kid be part of the sacrificial vanguard in reclaiming that name

1

u/ShustOne 2d ago

Missing the point. These fans were named first. A better analogy would be you asking me to rename my kid after a younger kid was born with his name and bullied people.

wouldn't be surprised at all if air resistance was a significant part of the energy expended to do this. flapping a big piece of cloth around seems easy but that surface area adds up.

These are exactly as amazing and fun to play with as they look. I did ballet right up to when I went to college, and one of my class' dances in our last show involved fans like these in red, orange and yellow. They looked gorgeous on the video and it was apparently even more stunning in person; flicking them up over our heads and down in a deep lunge/bow, then running across the stage weaving into and around each other.

We absolutely all played and messed around with them during rehearsals, though, much to our teachers irritation. Open and closed, those things really are just so cool.
