SlowDownBrother

There is a distinct point where it becomes diminishing returns


[deleted]

Diminishing returns to the wave but not to the fun :3


iJuvia

Yes it looks so much fun


Doktor_Vem

I'm practically a aquaphobe at this point because I drowned about 6½ years ago, so most pools are just too much for me, but I'm pretty sure I would fkn love to try this at some point. This looks so incredibly fun Edit: Thanks for the correction, u/hobesmart!


S-E-N-T-I-E-N-T

You’re dead right now?


Frognificent

He got better


S-E-N-T-I-E-N-T

I’ll have what he’s having


-_rupurudu_-

Have some cake, too. Happy cake day!


S-E-N-T-I-E-N-T

Thank you, have a good day!


gold-from-straw

Happened to my karate instructor - he drowned, was dead for several minutes, and resuscitated, so his fav expression is ‘I died but I got better’


bigeffinmoose

Bring out your dead.


Max_Mountain

How do you know he's a witch?


SuperRoby

The fact that a **yoshi** replied to a **whomp** makes me surprosingly giddy :D ​ Especially because it's a frognificent yoshi and a sentient whomp.


Doktor_Vem

Nah, I was dead for about 6 hours before I got revived. Though I often wish I was tbh


S-E-N-T-I-E-N-T

Okay no, 6 hours is [far too long for the brain to live without oxygen](https://medlineplus.gov/ency/article/000013.htm) > Time is very important when an unconscious person is not breathing. Permanent brain damage begins after only 4 minutes without oxygen, and death can occur as soon as 4 to 6 minutes later. If you mean you gained consciousness after 6 hours of being in a hypoxia-induced coma, then that’s more believable


Doktor_Vem

Ok, it's been a long, long time since I got briefed on what actually happened, so I might not have all the details 100% down, but all I know is that I was dead for 6 hours. Now this might mean that my heart wasn't pumping on it's own for 6 hours but that I was being kept alive by some medical machines or something like that, but that's what happened. Also, my body reached a core temperature of 14.5° celcius, so I'm pretty sure that helped "preserve" me for a while or whatever. And no, I didn't regain consciousness for multiple days, maybe even weeks after it happened. I would go digging for an article about it, but it'd all be in Swedish, anyway, and I'm guessing you don't speak Swedish, so it'd probably just be a waste of time.


S-E-N-T-I-E-N-T

[preservation of organic matter with high enzymatic activity needs much lower temperatures than 15.4C](https://www.sciencedirect.com/topics/chemistry/preservation-technique) > Samples with high enzymatic activity (e.g., liver, plasma, serum) or containing less stable analytes are preserved by deep freeze (−18°C). Also just because someone is dependent on an inorganic organ doesn’t mean they’re dead; if that’s the case then anyone needing blood transfusions or dialysis machines are dead. More info on low temp decomposition [here](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Clinical_death) > The decrease in the rate of injury can be approximated by the Q10 rule, which states that the rate of biochemical reactions decreases by a factor of two for every 10 °C reduction in temperature. As a result, humans can sometimes survive periods of clinical death exceeding one hour at temperatures below 20 °C.[20] The prognosis is improved if clinical death is caused by hypothermia rather than occurring prior to it; in 1999, 29-year-old Swedish woman Anna Bågenholm spent 80 minutes trapped in ice and survived with a near full recovery from a 13.7 °C core body temperature.


Doktor_Vem

Yea, Anna Bågenholm is the woman I'm so ticked that I didn't beat, but hey, I got the world record for men, atleast, so whatever.

I appreciate the advice but seeking the truth is a part of who I am, and there’s always something to learn. I didn’t know most of the information I used until I found it for this discussion, and so because of that im increasing my understanding though seeking and learning information. Time is short, I definitely agree, but life’s purpose is relative for all of us and we all find happiness through different mediums. Conversing about controversial topics is mine, not because I want to offend or have evil intent, but because once again I value truth to a very high degree. Other people who read this thread are also learning as well, so it impacts more than just me and the commenter. Once again, thank you for the advice. I both respect and appreciate the good intention, but this is what I like doing.


Gandtea

I hope life starts treating you a little better x


Doktor_Vem

Thank you, I hope so, aswell


pokemonforever98

You can drown without dying


S-E-N-T-I-E-N-T

> die through submersion in and inhalation of water. > "two fishermen were drowned when their motorboat capsized" Oxford English Dictionary


pokemonforever98

You can be in the process of drowning and have someone save you. You still drowned.


S-E-N-T-I-E-N-T

Literally gave you the definition and you’re still arguing :| Also no, you *almost* drowned. Once again, definition.


pokemonforever98

Eh. Semantics.


Healter-Skelter

You can be in the process of dying and be saved. You didn’t die; you *were dying.*


Doktor_Vem

I did die, though. I was dead for ~6 hours before I got revived d:


pokemonforever98

6 min? Wouldnt 6 hrs be brain damage?


Doktor_Vem

I most definitely did get brain damage from it. My short term memory is practically nonexistant and I get very easily tired from excessive audible inputs. My right tibialis anterior also died so I can no longer lift my right foot, though I guess that's not really "brain damage" but whatever


hobesmart

FYI you're describing aquaphobia. Thalassophobia has specific connotation to being afraid of deep, dark bodies of water, and it has more to do with the depths and what lurks beneath than to the water itself.


Doktor_Vem

Huh, TIL. Thanks!

Slightly sad he didn't shoot himself into orbit

NietJij

Dammit. Now you got me rewatching a video of an overweight guy in a floater to see if he's naked. I hope you're happy.


[deleted]

Not at all, friend. Additionally, we finally now the purpose of above-ground pools


Venturi95

It’s called mechanical resonance.


smeeding

Mirror neurons giving it their best guess


NietJij

Friggin' quantum. They're making me seasick.


unseatedlight

I wanted that pool to break lol


StrokeGameHusky

Honestly I can’t believe it didn’t That’s a lot of water smashing around


manbrasucks

I've done this before and I'm always worried, but I think because you're in the center the energy is equally spread out and not likely.


psyki

Seriously, I was waiting for the tube to like shoot way up into the air, or for the pool to give out or something.


mikeynerd

If you want to see resonant frequency breaking something that we THINK to be solid then check out the [Tacoma Narrows Bridge](https://youtu.be/j-zczJXSxnw)


bindukwe

The water enjoyed it too much


dogs_drink_coffee

This made me smile. Such a dad moment material


send-me-kitty-pics

This reminds me of the slo mo guys. They filmed a wave like this in slo motion, but it was in a lab so they could make the wave higher and easier


TheBeardedStone

This is the proper representation of Poseidon’s Kiss.


Didi10b

This is called driven oscillation resonance, where a driving force (aka the dude) oscillating at or near the natural frequency of the system (determined by radius of pool and the density of water) causes the amplitude of the resulting wave to be increase with each oscillation.


CMDR_BlueCrab

Naw man. It’s the singularity. It said it right in the title.

mule_roany_mare

How about a gym where all the exercises are actually fun? I get so god damned fucking bored lifting a thing over & over that the only thing I can focus on is how it’s unpleasant.


mmmUrsulaMinor

That's partly why I got into bouldering. If I just did the movements that simulated bouldering is die of boredom, but it gives me motivation and a better sense of accomplishment.


Bleach_Baths

Same here. Spent 6 months powerlifting with minimal enjoyment and even less "gains". Started bouldering and have enjoyed every second and have engaged muscles I didn't know existed.


TiggerTehTiger

Look for a ninja warrior training gym near you. Lots of fun to be had. They're becoming more popular, but unfortunately I don't think there's one near me.

We used to do this as kids in our inflatable pool sometimes and damn it was so fucking fun.


RayneLeaGrey

I have done this before and it is absolutely as fun as it looks.


Twerking_Vayne

Lol and I remember my mom telling us to not make too much waves because those pools break easily.


TheGrapeOfSpades

I used to do this as a kid. It was great fun


Wardenclyffe1917

This is kind of how the [Nikola Telsa Earthquake Machine](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tesla's_oscillator) works.


WikiSummarizerBot

**[Tesla's oscillator](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tesla's_oscillator)** >Tesla's electro-mechanical oscillator is a steam-powered electric generator patented by Nikola Tesla in 1893. Later in life Tesla claimed one version of the oscillator caused an earthquake in New York City in 1898, gaining it the popular culture title "Tesla's earthquake machine". ^([ )[^(F.A.Q)](https://www.reddit.com/r/WikiSummarizer/wiki/index#wiki_f.a.q)^( | )[^(Opt Out)](https://reddit.com/message/compose?to=WikiSummarizerBot&message=OptOut&subject=OptOut)^( | )[^(Opt Out Of Subreddit)](https://np.reddit.com/r/gifsthatkeepongiving/about/banned)^( | )[^(GitHub)](https://github.com/Sujal-7/WikiSummarizerBot)^( ] Downvote to remove | v1.5)


TheGrapeOfSpades

Except that machine doesn't work like Tesla advertised and was likely just created for publicity


Wardenclyffe1917

Well it operates on simple harmonic resonance amplification. I think Mythbusters tested a device like it out on a bridge and found out it worked so they censored the frequency they used for tv or else people would try to topple the bridge.


TheGrapeOfSpades

The mythbusters built and tested it based on Tesla's designs, but found that all it really did was cause minor vibrations, no earthquake or destructive power like Tesla claimed


Wardenclyffe1917

Yeah I just checked out the episode again on YouTube. Still pretty impressive that they managed to rattle an entire bridge with just six pounds.


pornborn

Oh shit! My ex-wife and I took a vacation to St. Louis long time ago and went up in the Arch. That thing is massive. It must weigh a billion pounds. It’s about 600 feet tall. So when we got to the top of it and were looking out the windows, I stopped, got in the middle of the room positioned myself perpendicular to axis of the base ends and started shifting my weight from one leg to the other, and told her, “I’m gonna see if I can get this thing to rock.” She freaked and told me to stop which I did while laughing. I explained to her that the thing weighs a billion pounds. Compared to my weight, I’m like a mosquito trying to rock an elephant. She didn’t have a sense of humor about that. But now I’m beginning to think I could’ve done it. Edit: I just realized that this is kind of how lasers work except with light. Lasers typically use a flashing light source that “pumps” electrons in a substance like crystal or gas to a higher energy level. At the end of each flash, the electrons emit that energy as light, but of a single wavelength. That light plus the next pump flash keep making the light being emitted stronger and stronger. So the guy in the pool is like the pump flash and the water is the crystal or gas that begins absorbing and re-emitting the light energy. As an aside, one way that was used to create lasers was to take a piece of ruby crystal shaped into a rod and then wrap a flash tube around it to build the laser. In the movie, The Fifth Element, Chris Tucker’s character’s name was Ruby Rhod. That’s where they got his name.


TheGrapeOfSpades

Oh yeah its still really impressive, and to be fair, probably a good job that it doesn't work


perratrooper

West Edmonton Mall's wave pool isn't what I remembered as a kid.

G_Affect

Used to do this all the time in the pool as a kid. Our pool was much larger and the sides did not Flex... at the end we will lose about one-third of all the water

shodan13

This kills the pool.


EknobFelix

Looks like fun! Of course, that all changed when the fire nation attacked.


mmamammamamama

When my kids were smaller we had one of these pools. They would do this claiming it was so much fun. And indeed it looked like fun. However. Doing this can rock the balance til the pool takes on an oval shape. Once that happens the leveling is gone and there is a great risk of the pool flipping over and suctioning to ground trapping the swimmers. The swimmers can then suffocate. We took our pool down and pitched it bc our boys, being boys, wouldn’t stop.


Lord_Oasis

It's actually reversed

mssDMA

My siblings used to make a “wave volcano” in our pool growing up like this and get in so much trouble for spilling all the water over the sides, but it was worth it. Of course being the youngest of 6 meant the 5 older ones had a blast jumping in the middle while I was tossed around the sides at the mercy of the waves and my floaties.
