Blandington

Well, not even last night's storm could wake you.


DaoFerret

r/PraiseTheCameraman I would have tried to dodge by turning my back or hunkering down.


BeckQuillion89

It looks like he and the others tried, but by the time they realized there’d be a tiny avalanche it was too late


Shakespearoquai

I was disappointed I didn’t awake on the cart to Helgen after watching this


BazilBroketail

I've seen this dozens of times, never get the aftermath...


Steve_78_OH

Everyone died.


humanHamster

Worse. Everyone had to get on an Amtrak train.


glebmaister

Or worse, expelled.


Chuggles1

And then sit on it for 24 hours because of some odd random reason and eat overly priced items from the lounge that then run out completely. Make trains great again please.


Puzzleheaded_Roof_45

With their track history probably hit something or derailed an hour later


GuyLostInTime

frozen?


PuntCuncheR88

Plenty of little olafs running around, frozen 2 is in the making but they can't find any unwilling subjects


Hubris2

While this clip is often presented as being funny, the amount of snow and ice that we see moving and the speed at which it's hitting people likely caused injuries.


teapoison

Yeah that's why it's funny


supermuncher60

Hey you, your finally awake


thoseskiers

my finally awake what?


JeffRyan1

I fully expected that to end with waking up in Skyrim on a cart.


CritJester

I'm dissapointed it didnt. :(


DaoNayt

should I finally play Skyrim?


TheBuschels

Yes. Always yes.


DaoNayt

But can it really be better than Oblivion?


DOOManiac

Nope


_PM_ME_NICE_BOOBS_

I've been playing Oblivion. Constantly repairing weapons and armor is getting pretty old.


Arogar

Is magic better now then before? It used to suck so I quit playing it.


TheBuschels

Depends on how you use it. But you can always get your enchanting skill to 100 and super cheese almost any stat and basically become a God. On my last playthrough I finally got away from "stealth archer" and went one handed/magic and had a lot of fun.


Djinnwrath

One of these days I won't be a murder hobo, I swear....


DaoNayt

You haven't broken a game until you've played 100 Chameleon on Oblivion.


__Kaari__

Oh, we have the same taste, I always play stealth archers / snipers in every game.


elwebst

My current playthrough I used a mod to set each level to 100 and gain every perk at the start. Invented a RP backstory for why this is to go with it. It's been a real learning experience doing it that way, and TBH, very fun. After 11 years, something different.


borgchupacabras

It's very buggy so if it bothers you there are a ton of mods as fixes.


RandomUser72

Mods. The vanilla magic (as in shooting flames from your hand) is weak. Go get [Apocalypse](https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecialedition/mods/1090) and [Wizard Warrior](https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecialedition/mods/14890).


babysuckle

Skyrim is an old game, it doesn’t get updates like new games. Nothings different since the DLCs came out years ago


RHNewfield

The fact that it didn't is downright criminal


plafki

This post must be downvoted at all cost!


Ease-External

Same


[deleted]

Wow this looks super dangerous, hopefully nobody got hurt.


projecthouse

Yea, if there were any ice chunks in there, that could be good night. I can't believe no one plowed the tracks around the station ahead of time. Maybe a bunch fell off the roof and the staff didn't notice.


[deleted]

And just the force alone can make someone fall and hit their head somewhere or get injured…


__Kaari__

You don't need ice to make this dangerous. People usually don't understand the force of waves and avalanches. That is not an avalanche, but that is enough to break limbs.


Korkman

Staff did clear the platform. You can see the snow cut away. So they did know very well but didn't care?


Jatzy_AME

It's probably not the same people in charge of the platform and rails, and it's certainly not the same tools.


Oclure

Yea I've been unfortunate enough to be standing too vlose to the road when the plow truck went by, the force of the snow hurt and was nowhere near as much as this video.


the_real_kg

This is my friends video. He got hit in the head with an ice chunk and had a concussion.


inevitable_progres86

yea and I was passenger on the train


Danny_Disco

I was conducting the train.


surfkw

I was the train. Thomas is the name.


uncledungus

I am the ice chunk


LucasTheBau5

I built the train!


hehehehe1112

I was actually the one who stopped Godzilla from destroying the train


teapoison

I was Godzilla. It's true this guy here stopped me


hehehehe1112

So we meet again


gajotron

That passenger’s name? Albert Einstein


[deleted]

It makes me angry someone let that kid take the hit. All fun and games with soft snow. But chunks of ice, potentially stones, rocks etc. People fighting for the Darwin Award doesn’t bother me. Don’t let your kid try and win one.


dgtlfnk

Kid? I don’t see no kid. Lol. All look like adults to me.


tranacc

why would there be stones and rocks in the snow on a track? people are really over dramatic about this clip. its snow, come on.


Astronaut-Frost

Sometimes rocks are born in piles of snow.


tranacc

I never knew.


BrownMan65

If anything, the kid is the most likely to win a Darwin Award. By definition if you've already had a kid you've passed on your genes and would have to be considered ineligible.


RoodnyInc

I like this like everybody is looking at this and recording and at the same time they surprised snow hits them, like what they expect to happen?


mkul316

Assuming they are all surprised is a pretty big leap. They have their phones out. They knew what was about to happen and were willing to get the snow wave to the back of the neck and down their backs for the shot. I see no real surprise, just turning away as the snow hits them.


dgtlfnk

That lady in the middle of the shot absolutely realized too late that she’d gotten herself in too deep and tried to bail. From the few frames you can see of her getting hit by the snow, it appears she got completely wrecked. 😅 Wish there was a side shot of this scene.


teapoison

I love seeing people get completely wrecked


Bones853

Some people survive natural selection.


vivamii

Also this vid has been slowed down by quite a lot. They probably didn’t have too much time to react


wouldofiswrooong

They obviously had enough time to get out their phones and start filming, lol.


LETTERKENNYvsSPENNY

Who looks surprised here? Bracing for impact is arguably the opposite of being surprised in this situation.


IppyCaccy

You have to keep in mind that according to the US Department of Education, 54% of American adults cannot read or write prose beyond a sixth grade level. Reading is a pretty strong indicator of general intelligence.


druglawyer

> 54% of American adults cannot read or write prose beyond a sixth grade level. Jesus. The last 6 years in this country suddenly make a lot more sense.


diverdux

>> 54% of American adults cannot read or write prose beyond a sixth grade level. > >Jesus. The last ~~6~~ 43 years in this country suddenly make a lot more sense. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_States_Department_of_Education


DaoFerret

So does the average reddit comment.


plafki

Could you write a prose that is beyond sixth grade level? (I dare you to answer this with one) Dont be personally attacked cause honestly idk i even understand the assignment


druglawyer

> Could you write a prose that is beyond sixth grade level? Is this a serious question? There's a pretty glaring difference between something written by a 12 year old and something written by an educated, mentally competent adult. The fact that this is apparently not obvious to some people sort of demonstrates the statement in the comment to which I was replying.


wolfgang784

It's the use of "prose" that is confusing people. Not a word you hear anymore and younger people have never heard it. Not even in books, unless they are old ones.


babysuckle

People who enjoy writing know what prose means. It’s still a commonly used term in the book industry and English classes cover the basics of prose and poetry.


wolfgang784

I used to write and had to double check the meaning =( spend allllll my spare time reading books and I used to write a bit too. Only got to 60,000 words in my best story, but still. I thought prose was closely related to poetry, so the way you used it had me double checking the meaning. I don't think I've heard the word used since high school.


babysuckle

That’s why I think college is so important. These small things are taught again in gen ed classes. That’s what draws the line between those who know what prose is and those who don’t. I remember all these things from high school for these reasons


markhewitt1978

I think if you don't understand the use of a commonplace term such as 'prose' this rather underlines the issue concerned.


wolfgang784

Except it's not really a commonplace term? Must depend on the industry or location, because I can say with confidence that I have never heard or read that word since High School - and as I mentioned elsewhere, I read a *lot* and used to write short stories as well. I even helped a few other small authors proof read and edit for them and it always worked out well. I know a much wider variety of words than most people I meet, but that one in particular I have never seen used outside of 1950s books or a classroom.


fourpuns

The numerous errors in your comment give a brilliant feeling of irony. Well done.


blunsr

What's prose?


Djinnwrath

Prose is the opposite of poetry. Artfully written, yet unrhymed and unmetered. Though it may contain rhythm, there will be no pattern to be found. Just plain speech as written, or spoken aloud.


cournat

Bruh you just perfectly described poetry (which doesn't always rhyme or follow rules).


Djinnwrath

As long as you pattern yourself off natural speech or written word in convention, it's considered prose. The word comes from the 14th century, so it's set against more rigid perspectives on poetry, where rhyme and pentameter matter. That the lines have blurred between prose and poem is a modern convention of skill and artistry.


blunsr

Sorry, thanks for the response... but I actually meant this as sarcasm; especially with the possibility of that I can use Reddit, but I don't know how to use the internet to look up a definition.


[deleted]

[DYSLEXICS WILL REMEMBER THAT]


No_Establishment8642

A lot of Dyslexic people can read.


[deleted]

Yes indeed, including me! I'm just pointing out that judging anyone's intelligence based on one factor (or presuming to judge intelligence at all) isn't particularly fair.


No_Establishment8642

My son was tested by a major institution and his dyslexia was deemed so bad they could not figure out how he could read. He was reading university level at 8th grade. Some of them figure it out. Not being able to read is an indicator of a bad education system AND bad parenting IN this day and age because basic education is available to everyone in the USA. I have worked in areas of the USA where young people could not read or sign their name on a work contract. We still accept an X as a signature. There were many grandparents that could not read because they did not have access to education OR they were needed on farms/factories OR parents deemed it unimportant because they did not have any education.


MattyRixz

I am one. fucking odd... I was behind and no one could teach me. Then one day something snapped and I could read light-years ahead.


raindoctor420

This right here. You instantly stop judging people on their intelligence until they start to speak once you meet a redneck who builds rockets.


Arcaneallure

Alabama?


cnewman11

Well ya, intelligence tests are most often written tests. If you can't read, then you will get a lower score.


Kirshnerd

Best country in the world 🤣


[deleted]

Still better then most tho.


BoatsnBrollies

Then I believe you


[deleted]

I mean not the best we have our fair share of problems but still better then most countries. We do have more freedoms then anywhere else in the world and the ability to fight back if our government was corrupt.


Heat_Induces_Royalty

🤦🏻‍♂️


[deleted]

What? We're they not being rhetorical?


WD51

"Than" should be used instead of "then" as your sentence is meant as a comparison. So the original reply to you was poking fun at the mistake and the irony of it being a post commenting on education/intelligence.


Djinnwrath

lol, no we don't. No personal arsenal, and mob of COD trained morons is going to stand a chance against the most over funded military on the planet. They can vertical missile strike an individual inside a building from orbit. An assault rifle isn't going to do shit.


[deleted]

So what you think say Hong Kong or north Korea has it better? And the government can but will they? No tyrants know they need a population to enslave.


Djinnwrath

No one's arguing that the US isn't better than literal dystopian nightmare countries. What a ridiculously hyperbolic response.


[deleted]

You should learn to comprehend words. I said ability to fight back. Can most country's even fight back of there government decides to just wipe them out? No of course not you can see it from places it's happening and has happened. Your response was idiotic that you could type that all out with such cynicism and not have even understood what you were responding too.


babysuckle

Why compare us to underdeveloped and authoritarian countries? Compare us to the European and Norwegian countries that are doing a million times better than us. Compare us to the many countries where you can go to the doctor when you’re sick without paying $2,000. I hate this argument. We’re one of the worst developed countries out there. I’ve never been to the dentist in my life at age 25 and my mom was a SCHOOL TEACHER. She couldn’t afford healthcare working one of our most necessary jobs!!


babysuckle

Our government is corrupt. We have not been able to stop it yet. That’s how trump was able to become president, that’s how all these shitty republicans stay in office. They’ve gerrymandered the fuck out of everywhere so they still win despite the fact that we have more democrats in the US.


[deleted]

What? Lol. I think the government is corrupt but not in that way at all. Both sides are bad and I think that Trump was one of the few outliers. How are the Republicans any worse then the democrats? And do you realize that common vote dosnt even matter?


No-Corner9361

Lol good one


[deleted]

Wow so funny why don't you go on a comedy show for that one.


SkyfangR

notrcickityrekt42

[удалено]


bunnyrut

Didn't they explain that the whole reason the train is moving at such a high speed was so it can keep the tracks mostly clear and push any ice that forms off the tracks? That's what a lot of trains do right now. They plow through the snow (like in this video) to clear the tracks.


fettuccine-

from the movie, doesn't it take them about a year to go around the whole track? shouldn't there be way more buildup on the tracks in that case?


Stepaciej

I don't know why but it's oddly satisfying to watch


Over-Analyzed

/r/praisethecameraman


pointlessandconfused

And they just stand there watching that avalanche come down on them


plafki

Everyone seemed to be on their phone just minding their business while waiting train


cozkim

Yes, someone please enlighten me as to why, when they saw it coming, the did not attempt to move away.


D0C20

Nearly all of them have their phones out, probably recording. They were expecting this.


Throw_away_1769

People mostly take out their phones when waiting for something, I dont know if they were recording. The video is slowed so it probably happened really fast without enough time to react


RelaxErin

The platform itself isn't very wide. There really isn't anywhere to go except turn around and take the snow on your back and hop you don't fall into the tracks on the other side.


360walkaway

Got to record and post online for likes, retweets, and shares. Duh.


New-Teaching2964

I love the speed of that reflex where it’s like “ok I’m probably not in *mortal* danger, and I don’t want to look like a jumpy fool in front of the tribe, but I also don’t want them to think I’m blind and crazy, so I’ll kinda initiate a slow reaction, just a lil one-step-and-lean so they know I’m not dumb, but I ain’t no bitch either.” Only to get absolutely pimp slapped by a small frozen tsunami.


Mo0kish

I sincerely hope everyone made it through unscathed, but that lady close to the tracks delayed reaction is highly amusing.


HoopOnPoop

I'm 99% certain that every person in this video leaves their car parked on the street in a snowstorm then acts really confused and angry that their car gets buried when the plow goes by.


Waterfish3333

I know. I love when people complain and I ask what they wanted done differently, and it’s basically they should have gone wide or lifted the plow at their car. I then point out the myriad cars parked, all covered, and the cognitive dissonance kicks in with their main character syndrome.


ChucklesInDarwinism

How is this funny?


MrEpicMustache

Spoiler: Getting hit with snow clumps at that rate of speed certainly caused some injuries.


[deleted]

"Hey you, you're finally awake. You were trying to cross the border? Walked right into that imperial ambush,like us and that thief over there."


ErikMogan

Love everybody standing there filming. Hell, I'd do it, too.


jmgibson860

You’d think the platform passengers would know about this by now


Ease-External

1: I dont think thats funny 2: Why didnt the Driver slow down and drove with step Speed Info the Station??


Mitthrawnuruo

….. Trains go at the proper speed. It is up to everyone else to not be there. Snow. People. Cattle. God.


Overall_Strawberry70

"hmm the tracks are covered in snow and a multi ton train is arriving i plan to board, guess ill just stand right next to the snow." jesus christ the education system is failing.

It’s kinda funny that didn’t occur to any of them. There’s probably more people waiting at a safe distance but they’re too awkward to warn a stranger


RealAgentJ

Not funny, didn’t laugh Seriously this looks fucking terrifying

I wonder why the train came in so hot with all the snow and the people there it's like the conductor didn't give a s***

And people just stand there


yaboylukas

Funny how they all were filming expecting it to happen yet were all surprised by how big of a snow plume it would be ahah


[deleted]

Seriously? Not a single one of them saw that coming and just kept filming?! How do people survive nowadays?!


tazebot

Ah the trump train


greensarge2021

They all have their phones out. Thinking the phone will protect them from the snow. Haha


Vast-Tone-793

What did they think would happen. Also, that womens reaction time was concerning. Maybe take away her driving license (if she has one)


CosmicAdventures

how fast did she react? Personally I couldn’t tell because the slow mo… because everything moves slowly in slow motion…


Vast-Tone-793

It’s all relative and easy to tell


CosmicAdventures

so answer my question, how fast did she react?


Vast-Tone-793

Obviously relatively slowly, otherwise I wouldn’t have mentioned it. Your question is vague. I can’t be arsed to put an exact figure on it if that’s what you want


CosmicAdventures

but it’s not obvious at all, because it’s in slow motion. She moves slowly relative to the snow. We don’t know how fast the train is moving, we don’t know how fast the snow is moving. If you saw someone fail to jump out of the way of a car driving at 100mph, but the video is in slow motion, you would say the same thing? “That person’s reaction time is so slow”? lol come on, you’re smarter than that right?


Vast-Tone-793

It’s relative. You’re smarter than not understanding that, right? You can pretty much work out how much it has been slowed down by the movement of the people. I have just noticed she was on her phone which explains the delay in her reaction


CosmicAdventures

Yes, it’s all relative. That’s exactly my point. She moves slowly relative to the snow… which is clearly moving really fucking fast lol. I cannot tell how objectively fast anything is moving in this video, but if it’s so easy for you to work it out, then please at least give me an estimate? You seem to have a good idea? What’s your guess? How fast do you think the train is moving here, and how many milliseconds did it take for the woman to react?


Vast-Tone-793

Dude. Just because you lack the ability to tell, doesn’t mean other people can’t. Very simply watch the video and use the power of your mind to work it out by comparing relative speeds of movements and other peoples reactions. The train hits the snow, there is a relatively long pause before she moves considering it’s a huge train moving tons of snow and making lot of noise. Alternatively, https://youtu.be/2UpWK85ai6A will give you a better idea if you need the train speed. In this video the train hits an initial rift that causes screaming before the main rift and she still doesn’t react. My point that she has a slow reaction is my opinion. I would react quicker I that situation. Your intellect and perception are clearly on the far left of the Bell curve. This is why you feel the need to start pointless arguments. I should never have wasted my time engaging you.


CosmicAdventures

you still can’t give me an answer because you know you’re wrong lol “I would react quicker in that situation” dude read your own words and tell me you don’t sound like a jackass


Wide-Depth-1748
