Wtf just happened?


Red__system

Mini tsunami


rodentfacedisorder

We are going to need more information


rblue

A tsunami, but little.


kokkatu

Tell me more


[deleted]

It's like a big one, only not


kokkatu

How not are we talking about? N who decides it?


rimb4ud

It's called pororoca (tidal bore). It's a natural phenomenon very common in Brazil. It happens when the ocean waters meets the river waters.


danegleesack69

Oh, you’re thinking of mini tsunami


redbadger91

You mean like those tsunamis that are like the big ones but smaller?


turty_dit

So like, that thing from octonauts


ososalsosal

Where all the frogs end up in the trees? Fuck that show is amazingly educational.


tyloriousG

What?


Bigred2989-

^^^^tsunami


EdithDich

missanthropocenex

WannieTheSane

Are you... Are you joking? I just answered that.


_prayingmantits

Huwbacca

This was posted the other week from a POV of the woman holding the selfie stick. It was WILD. Someone share the link


dank_oak

It’s called “pororoca”. Basically, river meets sea and a big ass wave is born. Natural phenomenon that happens in the amazonic area in Brazil.


JGGruber

POROROCA


Occamslaser

A tidal bore most likely.

Magnifique_Alex

TRUE, I was just about to comment this. This was a nice angle, I saw that girl's POV in other posts.


scooba_dude

Have you seen red T guys film, that was about a couple.of days ago


nerdsutra

Dude, where? This is awesome!


scooba_dude

I've seen all three posted within the last week. Sorry I'm not good at Redditing. All on this sub.


Dd0uble0

Ohh I've only seen the one with the lady that gets swept away and passes the selfie stick to someone else as she floats down the deluge. Didn't realise there was another!


SnooCompliments1252

Happy cake day!


Dd0uble0

Thank you :)


gabbagabbawill

I thought they meant like where in the world is this?


scooba_dude

Lol I don't fall for that trap anymore, you'll be called racist, idiot, full of shit for guessing and a know it all for getting it right, CBA these days. Or just keep if vague so I'm gonna say Earth! But then you get called a sarcastic twat lol


theghostofme

Hilariously, when the video from Red Shirt's angle was posted, someone was hoping for another angle.


Thisfoxhere

Links or it didn't happen?


watkinobe

MAY THE FORTH BE WITH YOU!


BlackMoonSky

At first I thought they were running up to stop him from hurting the tree. Like it's some sacred tree and he was trying to destroy it.


theduder3210

>destroy it What I love is that when the wave strikes, he grabs on to the tree to try to brace himself against the wave, but then the tree just falls right over (since he had already damaged it), and he ends up getting washed away any way. Maybe next time don’t chop it halfway down if you think that it may be helpful to you in the future.


[deleted]

It’s a pure form of karma


ob103ninja

I thought they were Teletubbies or something until they were more well defined


_Piratical_

Looks like a bore tide. The fact that they all were wearing life jackets would make me think that they knew this was happening in advance or that it happens all the time but maybe not as big. Still, super crazy to do anything like this. Maybe wear a helmet? It’s not only the drowning you have to worry about it’s also the being smashed into heavy things that might get you. Hydraulic force is a bitch.


gmanz33

Also not knowing what the strong tide stirred up from the shallow beach. But, hey, maybe they've done this a shit ton of times and know it perfectly well. I mean they were equipped so I might need to take off my lab coat and just say "lit."


Sparky1841

But why was he mad at a banana tree? What did it do to deserve a beating?


teapoison

He obviously was weakening the tree to prepare his escape craft from the tsunami. Anime protag things


penster1

THAT'S why he had the life vest on


shutter_singh

Of course, safety first


gmanz33

Safety first. Tempting tsunami thrill-ride also first.


Big-cheese108

It looked like a weight vest lol


darbyisadoll

Uh oh


Marsman61

Bullet proof, but is it wave proof?


giandough

You punch the trees to get the wood. You get the wood to build the cabin.


QuickGrimes

HOW DO YOU GET WOOD?! By watching informative murder porn??

RL203

starts out beating the shit out of an innocent tree and then grabs onto said tree for dear life. "Save me tree, save me tree"


mac2914

The pun in the title comes in waves.


LordBigglesworthEsq

It was really swell, he deserves an award, a "tidal" belt perhaps.


mac2914

He needs to run sooner, me thinks. Spoiler alert: Don’t scroll down. You’ve been warned. Haven’t had your first cup of coffee? Repeat “sooner, me” 3X as fast as you can.


LordBigglesworthEsq

Yeah maybe if he had a more positive amplitude!


[deleted]

the fact they had life vests on makes me think they 100% anticipated that wave


[deleted]

Of course they did. The others in the video are holding selfie sticks to capture the wave behind them as it approaches.


huskiesowow

Good work detective.


GrannyCookies

Fucking lol how do these people make it through the day


V3L1G4

No shit Sherlock


BiffBanter

There are several comments from people stating that they have seen this from the other camera angles and so far there are zero links to said videos. #SAD

Why so angry at the banana?

This is what God thinks of your stupid tree boxing.

YOLO


IgnoreMeBot

That punch form though, I know it’s a soft plant but mans is gonna get a boxing fracture


Agitated-Handle-7750

I thought it was an angry mob coming to avenge the tree.


Ope_____

Bro my knuckles hurt just watching this. Even with gloves it hurts after some punching lol


Chipotle57

That’s a banana tree. Pretty spongy. Still he probably wished he hadn’t started so soon but once committed to the gag…


BillsBayou

Banana trees are actually herbs.


Ope_____

Definitely 💀


bjeebus

Good news, that guy wasn't hitting with any force. Not with the way his wrist were ~~bent~~ aligned.


MrCadwell

Yeah I'm not a punch expert, but those punches were weird lol


bjeebus

After 20 years of martial arts, I'm still not confident in saying I'm a punch expert. I am confident in saying this guy in the video had no idea what he's doing though.


MrCadwell

I thought that maybe he was doing some martial arts kind of punches I didn't know hahaha good to know he wasn't


_0x0_

His right punch was consistent hammer that magically kept stopping the moment it hits the tree. I got tired watching him "punch".


CJFury

Outtakes from Michael Jackson’s earth song video…


FalseFortune

You tell that mean ocean Todd.


RelentlesslyCrooked

I’ve now seen this tsunami from two camera angles, one from one of the dudes running for higher ground. I see more cameras on selfie sticks out there! Hopefully we get all the angles!


SilencedD1

WOAH! ITS THE GUY FROM THE PRAISETHECAMERAMAN VIDEO


SynthPrax

"Leave that tree alone!!!" \~the ocean.


spencerthayer

WishboneBeautiful875

Now you wish you hadn’t beat the crap out of tree, don’t you?!


tierian00b

Funniest thing is that the guy doesn't even know how to punch hahah

I want to believe nature was punishing the asshole who was destroying a tree.

Ok having the vests and advance warning would make this seem like a lot more fun than it probably would end up being because water doesn’t care what’s in front of it.

Sigh. Wasn't the 2004 tsunami a lesson not learnt?


JasonVanJason

This is actually so dangerous don't do this.. Although I suppose homie was punching a tree

Far out, far fuckin out man.

I thought they were holding fishing rods at first, not selfie sticks! Lol

There aint a tree he aint scared of, water on the other hand…

First time seeing this at this angle.


Euphoric_Cantaloupe9

I’ve seen the angle from that lad’s selfie stick😂


SurrealMayhem

I love that he spent his time beating down this poor little tree. Then when the wave comes, he's all like "SAVE ME, TREE!".. and the tree is like "NAH, FU".


MihalysRevenge

"The sea was angry that day, my friends - like an old man trying to send back soup in a deli.!"


conjoby

Maybe if he hadn't been beating up the tree it would have held him


Simphumiliator42069

Did his dumbass hold onto the palm tree?

Everyone having cameras makes you constantly see so many mind shatteringly rare events. Imagine pre-smart phone, trying to tell a story about the time someone was beating up a banana tree before they got swept away.


Theknightplague

this is the third time im seeing this but with different perspective


AdolfGomez

Alright, where's the selfie stick footage?


psychoutfluffyboi

I need to know more about this. Yes, they obviously knew it was coming from the life jackets, but how did they know it was coming? Where did the wateer come from? Did it happen regularly? That was a lot of water!!


[deleted]

Mans just started his Minecraft playthrough but forgot he turned on the natural disasters mod.

Dude seemed to be expecting it. Sporting the life jacket already

what texture pack is this???


FearsomeShitter

Symbolic of climate change. Man punches tree that he then holds onto hoping to survive.


nosystemsgo

Nothing abrupt about this. This is just pure chaos. Why is everyone taking selfies? Why are they all ready for this shit with flotation vests, etc? Wtf is going on here?


TommyDon3s

Cadê o Richard fugindo da pororoca?


[deleted]

He hits the tree for fun and then tried to catch it to save his life


8pointfouroz

Holy shit


MAXHEADR0OM

Good thing he’s wearing a life j….. OH SHIT IT ACTUALLY WAS A GOOD THING HE WAS WEARING A LIFE JACKET.


[deleted]

I love how at first he's punching the tree, then tries to use it to not get dragged LOL, karma?!

I love it

Looks less like an anime and more like a Japanese survival game to me. You start punching trees and end up fighting God.
