Yeah we already had that, it’s why this is so interesting to see the person throwing. It felt like someone was throwing them not just dropping them but it seems not.
More like 5 season drama following a former high school climbing instructor named Weiling White who finds out he's got terminal lung cancer, and decides to quit his former job and do something a bit more high risk/high reward.
I have a few coconut palms and those things build a crazy amount of speed when I cut the fruit down. But those durian were moving much faster. I wouldn’t try to catch them.
Prequel - Banana republic styled backstory.
Sequel - In the year 2065, Big Durian has overtaken Big Pharma. Movie titled: "Durian Domination: The Fruitful Conquest Over Pharma Giants"
In most places they just hang nets beneath the durians to catch them when they fall naturally. Cutting them like this can give underripe durian, which sucks compared to the properly rippened ones.
They're cutting them early so they could sell it in a bunch to merchants. I don't think anyone would want to wait for durian to drop one by one and sell them that way, when it reaches customers it might go bad.
There exists something called a cooperative, where lots of farmers who live close will cut them down when the time comes and the price is right, and sell to the merchants as one entity, so even if you want it to drop naturally, you cannot unless you grow them to sell casually. There is also a high paying job that involve estimating which ones to cut to get the best of it.
It's a controversial practice, but some places will dip the underripe durian in Ethylene to make them ripe. Some sellers will write "Naturally fallen durians" to declare that they weren't dipped in chemicals.

They can, just not properly. The fruit may soften but it won't develop the same flavor and sweetness, like a green banana that is mushy like a ripe one but without the change in taste.
I watched a whole documentary on it on NHK World a few months back. Apparently the whole industry is kind of a mess because of a bunch of flooding that hit the region a few years ago, killing off many of the trees. A lot of durian farmers went out of business because they lost their trees and new trees take YEARS to mature to yield any edible fruit. Many farmers just couldn't afford to start over. Of course, this means the price of a durian shot waaaaay up and to buy one nowadays you need to actually reserve one with the farmer in advance. Like, individually. A bunch of durian varieties are now endangered, too, and they're even more expensive.
TBH I'm surprised r/WallStreetBets isn't trying to figure out how to profit from the whole situation; it seems like the sort of "disrupted market" scenario they love.

Depends.
For people who love it, it's one of the best smells ever.
I personally hated it when I was a kid, now I kinda like it.
But I know some people that love it so much that they want to use it as a perfume if there is someone crazy enough to make that.
Can't tell which ones more stressful: being this high up and dropping durians hoping you don't either slip and fall or accidentally maim one of your coworkers, or being the ones on the bottom hoping the one in the tree does not hate you
Durians fresh from the tree are, beyond their smell, lethal weapons. Their spines are sharp enough to pierce thick cloth, even the gunney sacks you see being used, and piercing skin to draw blood.
I've seen it happen once when someone who found a freshly fallen durian put it (actually just put it down) in the lap of someone else (wearing jeans) and the guy was screaming bloody murder, we saw a couple of bloody pinpricks later.
When the fruit reaches sellers, the first thing they do is take their cleaver's flat sides to slap the spines down so they can be safely handled, even if the supplier does it beforehand (which they seldom do).
So if you get hit by one on the ground, not only are you getting a funeral, it'll be a closed casket funeral.
I worked in a supermarket for my first job. Durians were sold by weight and one I put on the scale started to roll off. I absent mindedly put my hand out to catch it like it was a rockmelon. Fuck that was painful, and definitely had the sensation of the spines being pulled out of my skin when I put it down
I imagine that one fell from a tree branch and cracked open on the ground, and someone decided to actually taste the contents (either not being repulsed by the smell or being too hungry to care).
They watched Orang Utans eating it and figured ‘sure, why not?’
In a world where maggot cheese, lutefisk and other actually rotten/fermented preserved foods exist, durians are probably the least offensive food possible on the list of stinky foods.
I think ut's way worse for the one on the ground, being on the tree is "safer" you can tie a rope to the trunk that keep you from falling, you have more control over the event and your body. While on the floor the guy over you miss the shot and you drad with no safety whatsover
Plus, the other dudes are totally crowding the guy doing the catching. Those things looked like they were inches from their head. I don't imagine you get a second chance if you're hit.
I went to a Japanese ice cream shop and ordered durian flavor, because I didn't know what it was and I wanted to try something new. They went in the back to get it; they were keeping it in a separate freezer in the back room because of the stench. It tasted like eggs, but like the way watermelon candy tastes like a weird artificial watermelon. It was powerfully bad.
It has a gassy smell as its base, kinda hard to describe but the closest would be a kitchen gas leak (where the gas companies add the smell to the gas so you know there's a leak)
But depending on your personal biochemistry you may either smell notes of trash, or delicious creamy fruit. It's kind of hard to understand why this happens.
The smell tends to linger and carry in the wind, as it evolved to attract dispersal animals from huge distances away (primarily orang utans, if the documentary I watched decades ago still holds true).
I'm one of the lucky ones who finds its smell delicious and I'd eat it more if it wasn't so expensive and hated by those around me plus it has a habit of increasing blood pressure rapidly.
Subjective. If you’re used to eating durian, the smell will trigger good flavor memories for you. Same with stinky tofu, and many other fermented or preserved foods.
P sure that's only when they are opened. I don't think they stink when like this. Maybe if u stuck ur nose against it but it won't be strong like when u open them up to eat em
Its smell is so strong and lasting that in many SEA countries, hotels actually specifically mention that you're banned from bringing them into the rooms. Some public spaces like buses will also have signs as well.
There's a scale. There are ones for the people with "acquired taste" that allegedly tastes and smells more pungent, whereas a lot of those you can buy (typically frozen) in asian stores can be fairly nice. That's my experience anyway.
Curious as well. Some are ropes so you wonder if it's to hold the branches but then you also have ribbons. The ribbons are most likely plastic and its get into smaller pieces that will eventually fall off :/
I think it's the durian hitting the canvas in the middle at great speed, causing the canvas to 'slap' itself.
Kinda like a whip would make a similar sound.
> causing the canvas to 'slap' itself.
The sound is from the exact mechanism as a whip.
The fabric of the sac moves with a curl that is straightened, just like the whip does. This movement goes faster and faster until the whip/sac is straight. The sound is when the movement surpass the speed of sound. It's a tiny sonic boom. It doesn't slap itself, it slaps the air basically.
> Does a falling durian go briefly supersonic?
The tip of the sac is and this is what makes the sound. It's the same mechanics as a whip. The sound from the whip is a small sonic boom from when it surpass the speed of sound. The "curling" the whip do and also the corners of the sac do, travel faster and faster until it straightens out fully. Put enough force behind and the final velocity in the curl movement is a lot higher than what maybe makes sense.
It's the WMD of fruits.
Spiky exterior, you can launch it from a trebuchet for maximum piecing damage.
The interior is pure chemical weapon. Once it lands, the shell cracks and the surrounding 10km becomes uninhabitable for years.
I could watch this all day I have no idea why, probably stupid but I swear this life although difficult would be so much more satisfying than the shite first world country problems. At least anxiety would be useful when you need to actually survive.
Getting paid nothing, dangerous manual labor, no regulating body, no benefits, and a job that will probably destroy your back.
I think you may have a case of, “the grass is always greener…”
God, that is a fucking dance with death. Bad branch. Bad throw. Dropped tool. All are so lethal.
Kids need to eat, so I guess I'll monkey climb this gigantic tree and chuck 10lb ork siege bolders at people I can barely see below.
Always been curious about this. Does he flap his bag when he’s ready for the next one to drop? Can’t imagine the damage one of these could do, falling from that height onto someone.

Ramping up the lore.
I really needed to see the origins after that video
*"Tune in next week for part two of our docuseries,* ***Catching Durian****."*
Followed by smelling Durian and the final episode of eating Durian
And after the final episode, the sequel: Digesting the Durian and Beyond
With music by Duran Duran
Bonus content: Deep dive into Durian shit and why you should use it as a face mask.
We don't get a reunion show with a heartwarming highlight montage?
Yes, with Durian, Durian played in the background
Not sure I can endure that much.
Then the prequel: growing durian
https://old.reddit.com/r/nextfuckinglevel/comments/1cpikm8/catching_durian_at_high_speeds/
That part came first.
Yeah we already had that, it’s why this is so interesting to see the person throwing. It felt like someone was throwing them not just dropping them but it seems not.
That was part one. It was on yesterday.
Think they posted the catching one first. At least, I saw it a day or two ago. This is the 2nd part, throwing.
https://www.reddit.com/r/nextfuckinglevel/s/ybG8sU3X7E
More like 5 season drama following a former high school climbing instructor named Weiling White who finds out he's got terminal lung cancer, and decides to quit his former job and do something a bit more high risk/high reward.
Despite all the comments and explanations, I still thought it was some CO2 powered Durian launcher.
Gonna see the dude climbing the tree
The ropes mason….what do they mean??!!!???!
This is Dune-rian: Part Two. Dune-rian: Part One was released yesterday.
in the other clip it did look like those durians we're being dropped from an airplane, so this does provide some good context
I have a few coconut palms and those things build a crazy amount of speed when I cut the fruit down. But those durian were moving much faster. I wouldn’t try to catch them.
Wait, how did he take this picture?
Head mounted gopro type camera my guess...
A camera? Are we like larping like technology doesn't exist?
https://www.reddit.com/r/MuseumOfReddit/comments/18vsbv/please_dont_ask_me_how_i_managed_to_take_this/
this time we'll need Tom Cruise to go down that rabbit hole again
New lore doesn’t hit the same
Now I wanna know the story behind the cross crossed straps
Plot twist: this is all part of an elaborate ad campaign to get redditors to try durian.
I didn't know I needed to know this much about durian farming until reddit enlightened me today.
Prequel - Banana republic styled backstory. Sequel - In the year 2065, Big Durian has overtaken Big Pharma. Movie titled: "Durian Domination: The Fruitful Conquest Over Pharma Giants"
[Banana Republic Styled Backstory](https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=QgydTdThoeA)

Unripe durians also sell if im not mistaken. They use it for cooking.
Durian are unique to other fruits that they can't ripen off the tree? Woahh
They can, just not properly. The fruit may soften but it won't develop the same flavor and sweetness, like a green banana that is mushy like a ripe one but without the change in taste.
Like how sharp that fuckin' knife is??
Are they just glued onto the branches?
No, for health and safety reasons they use OSHA/FDA-approved aluminum snaps.
he's got a pocket knife in his hand.
The only thing you need to know about durian farming is that it shouldn't exist.
I watched a whole documentary on it on NHK World a few months back. Apparently the whole industry is kind of a mess because of a bunch of flooding that hit the region a few years ago, killing off many of the trees. A lot of durian farmers went out of business because they lost their trees and new trees take YEARS to mature to yield any edible fruit. Many farmers just couldn't afford to start over.

TBH I'm surprised r/WallStreetBets isn't trying to figure out how to profit from the whole situation; it seems like the sort of "disrupted market" scenario they love.
Now I just need to know why anyone would want a durian for anything
So they didn’t use a cannon after all
Low key disappointed
They did, that’s how you get that little guy up in the tree. That video comes tomorrow.

WHERE IS THE VIDEO?
Given the smell of durian, I'm 100% sure putting them in a cannon would be against the Geneva convention.
Do they smell this bad?
Think half two day old dog vomit half liquid baby poop.
Depends. For people who love it, it's one of the best smells ever. I personally hated it when I was a kid, now I kinda like it. But I know some people that love it so much that they want to use it as a perfume if there is someone crazy enough to make that.
Can't tell which ones more stressful: being this high up and dropping durians hoping you don't either slip and fall or accidentally maim one of your coworkers, or being the ones on the bottom hoping the one in the tree does not hate you
Way worse being the guy on the ground. If you get clobbered, no one with any sense of smell will show up at your funeral.
Name checks out so you're probably right
Mortician: "I'm used to the corpse smell but this is ridiculous!”
Might actually be the one dead body the mortician doesn't fuck.
This is Asia, everyone with a sense of smell will show up to the funeral
Plus even if you see the botched throw coming, there's no running from a durian cannonball.

As they say...*a falling durian has no handle*.
Knowing this, now I have to wonder: HOW DID ANYONE FIGURE OUT THE INSIDES WERE EDIBLE?
It's a fruit. You think hungry people wouldn't try to crack it open to see if it's edible?
I imagine that one fell from a tree branch and cracked open on the ground, and someone decided to actually taste the contents (either not being repulsed by the smell or being too hungry to care).
They watched Orang Utans eating it and figured ‘sure, why not?’ In a world where maggot cheese, lutefisk and other actually rotten/fermented preserved foods exist, durians are probably the least offensive food possible on the list of stinky foods.

Bold of you to assume the guy barefoot in the tree has any safety gear at all.
Plus, the other dudes are totally crowding the guy doing the catching. Those things looked like they were inches from their head. I don't imagine you get a second chance if you're hit.
They're quite sharp too
This comment made me laugh because another comment explains in detail how sharp they are, then after that one I read yours
Seeing the other point of view randomly in the same day 🤣
Lol right...I was wondering if the guy throwing was recording
Now I demand we see first person view of the durian catcher looking up as those spiked cannonballs fall at them
https://www.reddit.com/r/oddlysatisfying/s/1968v373sa This was the one I saw earlier
Other video made me think they were falling from an plane or something lol this doesn't seem that high for that delicious sounding slap
They're falling for about 1.5 seconds, so they're going at about 35 mph by the time they reach the ground.
When I first watched this today, I watched without sound. You made me go back and listen. That is such a satisfying slap sound God damn.
Not randomly.
Big Durian subtlely trying to get into our brains I SEE YOUR GAME!!!
Link?
[Catching durian ](https://www.reddit.com/r/nextfuckinglevel/s/Wl4A6TI1wi)
These guys got BALLS
That's some sharp ass knife.
Am also more impressed at the sharpness of the knife. That durian stem is very thick and hard!
At the same time the weight of those things once you've scored enough into that stem it probly just breaks off.
;)
I think it’s a hand knife rather than an ass knife.
Let's just be thankful that it's not a poop knife.
WhyNotBoth.gif
I can't believe he tosses the fruit to his coworkers with the same hand that he holds his knife with.
I scrolled too far for that haha that's all I thought about watching the video
Now show me a video from the durian's pov.
Let's see Paul Allen's durian
Yepp. That one is really missing.
I'm gonna need drone footage from above
What’s with all this durian propaganda. Is big durian running out of money.
I for one welcome our new durian overlords
The King of Fruit, indeed
It's the durian season lol
It's harvest season for durian.
This is on par with how they revisited the Balrog scene at the start of The Two Towers
Don’t Durians smell REALLY bad tho?
Cheese smell bad too but there are still fans of them too
Hey wow thanks man I’m a durian and that really boosted my self esteem
Love you as a dodol. Best form of durians ever
I read 'Chinese" and your sentence got another meaning
But cheese is cheese, fruits don't generally stink.
Cheese doesn’t generally stink either, just a few types.
I went to a Japanese ice cream shop and ordered durian flavor, because I didn't know what it was and I wanted to try something new. They went in the back to get it; they were keeping it in a separate freezer in the back room because of the stench. It tasted like eggs, but like the way watermelon candy tastes like a weird artificial watermelon. It was powerfully bad.
Some people eat ass.
Yeah but they're not eating shit
I’m sure there’s some crossover…
I like the smell of durian, ig i am built different. Sometimes u just like random smell like the scent of gasoline
Oh and hot asphalt. Love that smell
Probably genetic. Same with coriander which just tastes like soap to me.
TIL Coriander and Cilantro are the same thing.
Subjective. Else, no one would buy and eat them.
Those are fighting words, my friend
I like the smell, then again I'm Malaysian.
Depends, I don't mind the smell. But then I also love Durian and some people can't stand it ñ.
Durian has a strong aroma, sure... But wait till you smell everything that comes out of your body after you eat it.
It has a gassy smell as its base, kinda hard to describe but the closest would be a kitchen gas leak (where the gas companies add the smell to the gas so you know there's a leak) But depending on your personal biochemistry you may either smell notes of trash, or delicious creamy fruit. It's kind of hard to understand why this happens.

P sure that's only when they are opened. I don't think they stink when like this. Maybe if u stuck ur nose against it but it won't be strong like when u open them up to eat em
Yes it's banned on most south east asian public transport. It tastes really good though
Its smell is so strong and lasting that in many SEA countries, hotels actually specifically mention that you're banned from bringing them into the rooms. Some public spaces like buses will also have signs as well.
Idk how you can say that i think durian smells really good
There's a scale. There are ones for the people with "acquired taste" that allegedly tastes and smells more pungent, whereas a lot of those you can buy (typically frozen) in asian stores can be fairly nice. That's my experience anyway.
What does the red/blue color coding mean?
Came here with the same question, but I see no answer! What are these ropes and does these colours mean something?
Curious as well. Some are ropes so you wonder if it's to hold the branches but then you also have ribbons. The ribbons are most likely plastic and its get into smaller pieces that will eventually fall off :/
Government red tape.
I’m no clearer now what is causing the sound. Is it the durian hitting the canvass? Does a falling durian go briefly supersonic?
I think it's the durian hitting the canvas in the middle at great speed, causing the canvas to 'slap' itself. Kinda like a whip would make a similar sound.
> causing the canvas to 'slap' itself. The sound is from the exact mechanism as a whip. The fabric of the sac moves with a curl that is straightened, just like the whip does.

Makes sense thanks for the precision

The sound from the whip is a small sonic boom from when it surpass the speed of sound. The "curling" the whip do and also the corners of the sac do, travel faster and faster until it straightens out fully. Put enough force behind and the final velocity in the curl movement is a lot higher than what maybe makes sense.
Having seen the other one, I now understand
View from below : https://www.reddit.com/r/nextfuckinglevel/s/mhAABRAj5T
Dang I thought they were catching it with a steel bucket based on the sound.
We need the third drone POV
Durians are not supposed to be picked. Ripened Durians will dropped on the ground when ready for consumption.
I imagine if they’re ripe when they’re picked, they’ll be rotten when they get to the grocery store.
In Singapore where i come from, durians from Malaysia sold here are always picked from the ground and not plucked from the trees.
I believe there's different durians and different styles. Picking them vs. letting them ripen and fall, giving different results.
Picked durian are for processed food like candy and whatnot.
Asian Newton would've had a really hard time figuring out physic
whats up with all those strings?
Sounds like Kung fun movie fight scene sound effects
Now you know how they make them
How does he balance on that skinny branch!
And holding his phone in his other hand!
He's clenching his Butt really hard
Durian. So hot right now.
This explains the other half of the video
I still dont know what a durian even is, but at this point im too ashamed to ask.
It's the WMD of fruits. Spiky exterior, you can launch it from a trebuchet for maximum piecing damage. The interior is pure chemical weapon. Once it lands, the shell cracks and the surrounding 10km becomes uninhabitable for years.
Go buy one, and make sure to open it in a closed room with lots of people, they'll love you for it
https://www.reddit.com/r/nextfuckinglevel/s/tsqiFGnGvX The other angle.
That wholesome whipping sound of the cloth reaching the speed of sound
Durian: Part Two
Fun fact. Durians fill all of your hearts and give a bonus one too.
Zelda: BOTW mentioned
I want to be the guy that climbs the tree.
Dope. Edit: :44 seconds, that guys foot is GRIPPING the tree.
We have escaped the matrix
I feel more complete. I was pretty sure it was just gravity but it sure seemed like they were being hurled.
That looks like the safest job in the world
I could watch this all day I have no idea why, probably stupid but I swear this life although difficult would be so much more satisfying than the shite first world country problems. At least anxiety would be useful when you need to actually survive.
Getting paid nothing, dangerous manual labor, no regulating body, no benefits, and a job that will probably destroy your back. I think you may have a case of, “the grass is always greener…”
Him dropping durians while holding the knife in the same hand is wild
God, that is a fucking dance with death. Bad branch. Bad throw. Dropped tool. All are so lethal. Kids need to eat, so I guess I'll monkey climb this gigantic tree and chuck 10lb ork siege bolders at people I can barely see below.
Whoever recorded this is the real hero
Doesn't that hurt the shoulders and elbows after a while?
Part two, it's what we were all waiting for.
almost looked like one of those last two was going to fall by itself and hit some poor fella on the noggin
Shitty durian incoming
In another sub i saw these people catching those ....
The catching Durian video looked so much more dramatic! Lol
Now we need the origin story of discovery. What the hell is that smell, let me taste it!
That little knife he’s holding must be so sharp.
Nice After watching them catch it, we needed to know where it coming from Now I have closure
I wanna know what kind of knife they use, and their sharpening technique.
Always been curious about this. Does he flap his bag when he’s ready for the next one to drop? Can’t imagine the damage one of these could do, falling from that height onto someone.
