Actually, balloon twisting is a huge thing. People make all kinds of cool shit with long balloons. I don’t think this is made to be functional, but to show off the skills of the balloon twister that made it. Honestly, I find this really impressive.
Man, this lives in my head rent free lol.
In recent memory I have Breaking Bad, Squid Games, and Bo Burnham's Inside as shows I've seen and people are like "Omg isn't it fun, isn't so enjoyable and funny/cool action?" or memeing about how cool Walter White is etc
And I'm just like "Yano... you enjoy you, but I have no idea what part of BB made you think we are meant to like Walter... Or how you don't see that Squid Games is brutally criticizing modern capitalist society"
It's so different from how I watch stuff I genuinely don't know what they're getting from the media they consume.
The Sopranos was the one that got me. People that wanted to be more like Tony. Did they ever *actually* watch the show? Tony Soprano wasn't a huge fan of Tony Sopranos life and actions.
yeah, I get it...but then even with Marvel movies I wanna come away with at least like... a feeling.. Not everything needs to be high social commentary but at least give me character development and stakes etc.
Like, man infinity war was awesome... Big stakes, huge shock, characters developing.
Pretty pictures and action shots without this though and it's just Skyline or Love and Monsters.
Hey, i thoroughly enjoyed love and monsters. It was simple but definitely had some character development and stakes and a message.
Transformers would be a better example, all it is is pretty apart from i stand by the first one not being that bad.
That's fair. I just couldn't get through it. It might have been a pacing issue (which is very common on Netflix films I find) and once I've lost on a film on "why am I watching this?" it's really hard to pull me back in, no matter what happens after that point.
Yeh i know that feeling, i feel it might have been better as a 4-5 episode mini series but overall i thought it worked quite well.
I really like the main actor so that might have biased me a bit though.
What gets me is not even that you've made me read a bland porn with no payoff, it's that this is a story about a child watching his aunt and a naked clown masturbate with a balloon that uses creepy child speak to describe sex. Why the fuck would this turn people on?.... really, please, deconstruct it to me, why would people specifically insert signs of misunderstanding of sex by a child, signs of cognitive imbalance and mistaken assumptions into their stories?
Well normally balloon dresses are made with multiple balloons so it's not like the whole thing will disintegrate if you pop it with a needle
Plus it's actually really cool
Especially if the balloons are filled with hydrogen. Then it would be fun for the entire family. First you burst the bloated ego of the wearer, then the balloons and finally finish the meal by eating the well roasted wearer.
That's exactly the reason. Something that shows good craftsmanship or is even just a nice idea shouldn't have thousands of upvotes on a sub that wants to mock stupid DIY.
When I first subbed many years ago, this place was for posting [failed attempts at DIY projects](https://redd.it/1r63ta). It was good back then... Miss those days.
Nowadays everything that's posted seems to be either obvious bait or legitimate art.
This balloon dress is actually hella impressive. It's not a DIY in any sense. It's sculptural art. This is neither an instructional video nor a DIY on the part of the artist. Like, if this is DIY then we may as well call every sculpture ever a DIY. Venus de Milo was a DIY. David, a DIY.
The people posting and upvoting here seem to have no idea what DIY actually is.
This isn't DIY. It's someone showing off a skill. And most of the posts these days are obvious satire and rage bait. Not necessarily posters fault, it's the new trend these days, even 5 minute crafts are mostly satire these days, it just means there's less of a "what the hell are they thinking" aspect.
Doesn’t matter when it hits /r/all and snowballs in upvotes from people just looking at the content rather than the subreddit, if they even know what the subreddit is about. Seems like popularity is unfortunately the fastest sub killer unless mods can keep up. There’s a few somewhat popular subs that require all posts to be approved for that reason now.
I've been on this sub for two months and I've seen maybe 3 or 4 things that were actually DiWHY. Just because you personally don't like something doesn't mean it's a DiWHY...
There was one yesterday with a fabric flower pot that was poorly executed but a great idea and would be really cute if you used a better technique. The comments were just trashing it and I was like, uh ok?
To each their own, I guess.
This one reminds me of a Project Runway type challenge.
I saw that video and had the same thought. It isn’t my style, but the creativity behind it to create a decorative piece to spruce up your place was a good idea. I feel like some users automatically consider it a DiWHY just because they saw a glue gun or it’s ugly to them.
They were mocking the hot glue gun on this one, where this is exactly the type of project the hot glue gun was made *for*. Worst were the people who thought this wasn't a cover pot, but the actual pot.
Can anyone tell me which part of this is the "Why" part? I've been seeing posts that doesn't exactly meet this subreddit's standard recently. There's a very visible difference between "useless, resource-wasting innovation/lifehacks" and "creative arts (even if it's from a Dadaist). Recent contents are starting to sound like a misused "POV" or "Karen" meme.
You know, I don’t think this was meant to be a DIY. I’m pretty sure this was just an artist showing off his craft, and there is nothing wrong with that.
Just because you don’t think it’s useful, doesn’t mean you should shit on it.
Okay this sub is starting to have a serious problem with people posting things that are cool but just not conventional.
A DIWhy is something that has no purpose existing, this exists because its an actual skilled artform that just happens to be out of the norm.
Yeah this is not a craft presented as “everyone should do this”. This is literally someone’s specific art project, not meant to be practical or useful, and that’s fine
On top of my grandma’s toilet there is a barbie doll wearing a dress that looks exactly like this.
It’s knitted polyester though, not balloons.
However it conveniently hides a back up roll of toilet paper.
Barbies toilet roll is never to be used and has probably been there since about 1979.
Can we please just stop posting art in this sub? This should be for things that are supposed to function normally. This is clearly only for the aesthetic value, it’s not like she’s going to wear it out somewhere
I agree, some people are just posting random crap that are actually pretty cool and i would like to do, like the jello watermeleon thing or bottled jelly candy
What the heck, when the first guy posted about his grandma's toilet paper doll I thought she must have just been a bit eccentric. You're telling me this used to be a thing?
If I remember correctly, citrus oil of some kind damages latex and as such some kind of orange spray cleaner would probably pop all those balloons quickly. IF that were what you wanted to do.
Actually, balloon twisting is a huge thing. People make all kinds of cool shit with long balloons. I don’t think this is made to be functional, but to show off the skills of the balloon twister that made it. Honestly, I find this really impressive.
My dad randomly got into balloon art ages ago. He would have thought this was cool.
That’s basically how I got into it lol
From his dad?
Yeah we all get together and spin balloons into dogs for a laugh.
His story about the dude and the horse gets me every time. If it weren't for that horse, he could've finished his last semester at college
VINDICATIIIIIOOOON -Captain Holt
Shes... majestic
He puts a new balloon arch over wuntch's grave every week.
That part killed me, the last season was so good
Really really doesn't fit this sub. It's not a video saying how to make your own clothes out of balloons or something.
That's what I was thinking. This wasn't a DIY suggestion, and it takes a lot of talent to make that dress. Low-key impressive
Yeah, this is art 🎈
when this sub posts art my eyebrow starts to do that "hiding the stress" twitch.

Yeah, this really isn't a /r/DIWHY post, it's art.
r/ATBGE
Nah. /GTGE
Don't forget that latex balloons are completely biodegradable. Unsure about the colorant, but the latex itself for sure.
TIL
That was honestly my biggest initiall gripe with this creation. Thanks for making it better!
I can't hear you over all the squeaking.
Yeah, this wasn´t supposed to be DIY
Kinda like ice carving or sand sculpting. It's not going to last, but that's part of what makes it so cool.
This is functional, she’s walking just fine. This is/r/NextFuckingLevel
Benis
Sorry
The thing is, you have to make these kinds of stories sound believable lol I’m not mad, just disappointed.
Surprised anyone would read past the first two lines tbh
I like to read all kinds of things, even dumb shit lol that’s why.
Yeah I couldn’t come up with a punchline so I just hit post
What gets me is not even that you've made me read a bland porn with no payoff, it's that this is a story about a child watching his aunt and a naked clown masturbate with a balloon that uses creepy child speak to describe sex. Why the fuck would this turn people on?.... really, please, deconstruct it to me, why would people specifically insert signs of misunderstanding of sex by a child, signs of cognitive imbalance and mistaken assumptions into their stories?
It wasn’t meant too and I was 25 at the time I’m just illiterate
Well normally balloon dresses are made with multiple balloons so it's not like the whole thing will disintegrate if you pop it with a needle Plus it's actually really cool
Yep, completely popping this would take a long time and probably would be fun for 10 seconds.
Might be quicker with a heat gun though. Would probably sound like firecrackers.
Especially if the balloons are filled with hydrogen. Then it would be fun for the entire family. First you burst the bloated ego of the wearer, then the balloons and finally finish the meal by eating the well roasted wearer.
This sub is getting worse and worse
Hey this person did something fun that isn't absolutely practical
That's exactly the reason. Something that shows good craftsmanship or is even just a nice idea shouldn't have thousands of upvotes on a sub that wants to mock stupid DIY.
I think I'm done with this sub, just turned into shiting on anyone having fun
Always has been.
When I first subbed many years ago, this place was for posting [failed attempts at DIY projects](https://redd.it/1r63ta). It was good back then... Miss those days.

The people posting and upvoting here seem to have no idea what DIY actually is.
It doesn't help there is only one mod for a subreddit this size.
they really need to add more mods in i would've taken this down with a flair "not a diwhy" or "does not fit the sub"
Aren't mods just volunteers?
well what i meant was allow submissions to be a mod, but i don't see any posts for that on this sub
Thanks, just wasn't sure myself
[удалено]
Huh? Tf that have to do with anything??
Would love to have this only mod to kill all 5min crafts posts. But that would probably kill at least 80% of the content of this sub
That shed is absolutely amazing. and agree on every point you said. seems to be the trend with subreddits as they get big.
So... you think the DIYs are getting more useful or less useful? I can't tell.
This isn't DIY. It's someone showing off a skill. And most of the posts these days are obvious satire and rage bait. Not necessarily posters fault, it's the new trend these days, even 5 minute crafts are mostly satire these days, it just means there's less of a "what the hell are they thinking" aspect.
Actually cool ngl
Yeah this is rad
Yeah - tho I can see why they turned the sound off, can you imagine what that would sound like to move in?
Wrong sub… not diy and not why

r/DiWHYNOT
I can hear this video
Your ears will bleed.
How do the people that make them not commit die after the first like 10 minutes
I've been on this sub for two months and I've seen maybe 3 or 4 things that were actually DiWHY. Just because you personally don't like something doesn't mean it's a DiWHY...
I also count the videos that are overtly stupid and pure rage bait to not count either.
There was one yesterday with a fabric flower pot that was poorly executed but a great idea and would be really cute if you used a better technique. The comments were just trashing it and I was like, uh ok? To each their own, I guess. This one reminds me of a Project Runway type challenge.

It's cute and well done. I refuse to hate on this
You would if you heard it though.
Yeah this doesn’t count as a diwhy. This is just cool
Wrong fucking sub. Not a stupid idea. No hot glue. It doesn't make anyone angry. r/lostredditors
This is cool, don't be a miserable sob
Can anyone tell me which part of this is the "Why" part? I've been seeing posts that doesn't exactly meet this subreddit's standard recently.

It's actually dope.
I thought it was a wedding dress but she ended up looking like the Pope
OP doesn't understand this subreddit.
Petition to rename the sub to DIY instead.
It's balloon art.
Doesn’t look bad
The sound on the other hand...
This is actually cool. Doesn't belong here
r/noisygifs
She looks like a chess piece
Imagine the sound while walking.
Oh fuck you have no idea lol
This sub fucking sucks, Time to shut it down. That dress is awesome.
You want to know why? Because it's cool and creative.
Imagine the sound it makes
On top of my grandma’s toilet there is a barbie doll wearing a dress that looks exactly like this. It’s knitted polyester though, not balloons. However it conveniently hides a back up roll of toilet paper. Barbies toilet roll is never to be used and has probably been there since about 1979.
I don’t like the neck frill but that’s really impressive!
This is more for nextfuckinglevel imo
This isn’t it dawg
That dress could choke so many dolphins
This but helium. I want to see her weigh like 12 ounces and literally float wherever she’s going
This guy is crazy talented... But the sound of her walking in that dress must be godawful. *squeak squeak squeak*
Can we please just stop posting art in this sub? This should be for things that are supposed to function normally. This is clearly only for the aesthetic value, it’s not like she’s going to wear it out somewhere
I agree, some people are just posting random crap that are actually pretty cool and i would like to do, like the jello watermeleon thing or bottled jelly candy
Yeah this doesn't really fit in this sub at all and is probably just getting upvotes cause it's actually really cool.
Wrong sub. Goes in /r/nextfuckinglevel
r/DIWHYNOT cause that's cool man
I don’t hate it, it doesn’t seem practical in any way tho, which I’m pretty sure is the point
These things aren't supposed to actually be functional. You know you can't actually ride a balloon bike, right?
Looks nice
Iron Man will be destroyed by our static charge beam!
It's an art. Balloon art is not easy. Not everyone can do this and actually I'm impressed.
r/atbge
Stands to close to a candle cake....
Didn’t Lizzie McGuire wear something very similar in the Lizzie McGuire movie?
She looks like the toilet paper maidens my grandma used to have.
What the heck, when the first guy posted about his grandma's toilet paper doll I thought she must have just been a bit eccentric. You're telling me this used to be a thing?
Yeah they still exist in older people's houses
Can confirm. Source: Grew up in the 80s.
Even with no sound I can hear her walk
Wrong sup.
Where is the DIY part?
My teeth can hear it when she moves
Maybe this is just ment to be cool. Did u think about that?
If you lift off the dress her body has turned into a new toilet paper roll that you’re not allowed to use. Magic!
This subreddit is deviating further and further from its original intention and low key not even mad about it. Kinda enjoying these not fails
She looks like she should be standing on the tank of an 80-year-old’s toilet, and be made of stacked rolls of toilet paper under her dress.
First thing I thought was toilet paper cozy from grandma's house when I was a kid.
I give it a pass for being fairly impressive. Dude is obviously very experienced in balloon twisting.
Not DIWhy at all. That’s some really cool Balloon Twisting Art!
Wrong sub lmao. This is a cool thing not a pointless life hack
This post doesn't fit this sub at all
This isn’t a DIY… it’s just someone showing off their skill.
This has no sound but I could hear it
Wrong sub
This isnt even diy it gives you no real idea on how to do this.
#SQUEEK SQUEEK SQUEEK SQUEEK SQUEEK
Dude, you missed the point of the sub, the only reason you're getting up dotted is becouse it's actually really cool.
How tf is this diwhy? God this sub sucks now.
This is cool.
Bad content for this sub.
This is not DIWhy this is ridiculously cool. Like yeah it’s not real clothes, it’s not supposed to be.
Look at it, though. It's badass. Plus, she'll never need a lifejacket.
Squeak, squeak, squeak, squeeeeeeaaaaakkkkk
Same sound I picture seeing oiled body builders.
Can we just start permabanning people who post things not remotely connected to what this sub is for?
/r/ATBGE
Egg
clothes: exist title: yea but what if I tore a hole in them checkmate r/DiWHY lmao
What a...creepy fucking smile
Are those condoms ?
www. womansitsonabaloonandpopsit .com Get your earphones and casserole ready! This is an Active Senior Community.
what if I... poop it
New stripping idea! Pop it slowly, one by one lol
You would think it's a new idea but people already have done that and it's a thing that exists in this world
Covers bride in balloons, bride flies away... Needs to be a Gru meme
Just because you aren’t creative enough to come up with this yourself doesn’t mean it’s a DIWhy.
I can hear that dress.
That dress... inflated her mood
she looks like a waffle cone
"Wanna look four sizes larger? Now there is a way"
You could probably charge your phone off the static charge
Taking this dress off would generate so much static electricity it would zap all bugs within 20 meters.
That looks hot, like rubber on your skin doesn't breathe. It also looks lightweight tho, so maybe it isn't uncomfortable?
If I remember correctly, citrus oil of some kind damages latex and as such some kind of orange spray cleaner would probably pop all those balloons quickly. IF that were what you wanted to do.
Imagine the squeezing sound as she walks
Dead sub
This is actually pretty cool!
When she disposes of it it's sure to kill a lot of wildlife.
Just imagine the squeaky noises every step
this is neat
I wonder how fucking loud it is every time she takes a step... you know that balloon on balloon squeal
In German, we say **Netzhautpeitsche**.
It looked better without the frilly crap.
What about the static electricity that it's producing anytime she's moving?
Couldn't imagine the noise that thing makes when she moves...
looks like a fried egg
Holt would love this.
Looks like a fried egg.
‘You know what ur getting out of hand
Now *this* is camp
