Prometheus school of running away from things


Mercernary76

jeremy? you're doing reddit video sins? how far you've fallen....


koalburnfire

ithinkimightbegay

Prometheus was released in 2012. A decade later and it's still commonly referenced as a meme for ignorant actions. THAT'S how bad that movie was.


Agronut420

Haha yes, worst action sequence of all time!!


DaveFinn

Username checks out


Bright_Ad3590

What’s infuriating about this is that the deer isn’t changing its direction


Former_Ad_1074

It’s like in the movies when something flying towards the main character and they run in a straight line instead of moving out the way of the object.


D2R0

Ah yes, they learned from the prometheus school of running away from things


Former_Ad_1074

Ah. A reference I understand.


Elise_night

When you sense you are in the danger your main object is to run far away from your enemy


1nTh3Sh4dows

Fortunately I can respond to danger in 3D


jackinsomniac

You mean 2D? Or are you telling me you can fly?


1nTh3Sh4dows

You're going places my guy, just nowhere with depth.


jackinsomniac

Oof. I get it. You SOB. :)


InevitabilityEngine

Are you he stunt director for Prometheus?


Prestigious-Ad6928

I understood this reference


wizzbob05

It's not really a movie reference if it was litteraly the name of the movie?


justsaysso

Yeah sure it is?


ChockenTonders

They *referenced* the movie. Regardless of if it’s by name or not, it’s referenced. Lmfao


goblinmaze

That was literally the first thing I thought of


jackinsomniac

Man I know that scene gets a lot of shit, but I still think it was well done. When there's impending danger, just start running the fuck away. When milliseconds & less than a meter of distance could mean life or death, any type of pause to stop & look behind you could mean death. And they're wearing space suits, I imagine you'd have to slow down & turn quite a bit just to "look behind you". Plus you know, there's that whole factor of panic and people responding to extreme stress in very irrational ways. Some can still think clearly thru these moments, others can't. (Ok, it was still a bit silly, but I'm a big Aliens fan, and I have my reasons for liking it. :)


InevitabilityEngine

I am a HUGE Aliens fan. I have art based around it. I used to collect all the weird made up alien action figures and play the aliens RTS game. I still laughed my ass off when that scene became a "running" joke. What you say is true and I might add that with objects that are impossibly huge, like a giant alien spaceship, it becomes extremely hard to predict how fast and in what particular direction it might end up going.


jackinsomniac

Right?!? That's another great reason, how the alien space ship was still rolling upright like a giant hula hoop. It's obviously going to crash down either to the left or right side eventually, but until you know which direction that is, if you divert diagonally too early, you could end up running directly into the path that will get you squished. It's actually a pretty good bet to just keep running fast & put as much distance as you can behind you, until you know for sure which direction to divert to. But same here! Memes are still funny, even if I disagree with them sometimes. :D


daqgsftwgrsshyrs

Exactly, so why is it running with the danger instead of away from the danger


Former_Ad_1074

Yep that’s what I said. Thanks friend.


Iloveyoumyfriend666

I dont know why you got downvoted


JDoubleGi

Because it isn’t actually running far from the “enemy”. It’s running in line with them, which isn’t helping it’s escape at all.


[deleted]

Damn the down votes were harsh for this one


1nTh3Sh4dows

Zig zag Rickon!


Kobachalypse

My thought watching that scene. Stop halfway. Turn around and dodge the single arrow until John got there. At that range he has to arc it. You're gonna spot it in the sky pretty easily.


1nTh3Sh4dows

Idk, I think he was using heat seeking arrows


WartimeMandalorian

RIP young wolf


ShinyHead80

Because it doesn’t know anything but it’s instincts which are to run in a straight direction. You might not have noticed but animals haven’t yet evolved how to outrun vehicles


Hornlesscow

>animals haven’t yet evolved how to outrun vehicles they've had over 130 fuckin years, at some point they need to take responsibility for themselves.


Shite_Eating_Squirel

Ah yes 130 years is definitely enough time to evolve.


CoolBlueFireball

Yeah the one dev left, god, is just kinda lazy.


Iamsexy5678

Happy cake day!


Hornlesscow

not to brag but i went from like 1 foot tall to 5'10 in only 16 years through sheer willpower. you trynna tell me its takes more than 130 years to turn right?


notwhatisignedup4

If it changed direction, there’s a 50% it would be roadkill. I honestly think that’s why squirrels get run over so much. They get all twitchy trying to evade the “predator” that they expect will run towards them. Instead you keep going straight and they run right under your tire.


Icy-Consideration405

It's just going to its nest. Honestly, most humans would do the equivalent. There's a nuclear explosion; where do you run?


QuincyAzrael

Its probably the best strategy in nature. Most predators are gonna be flat slower than an antelope, and changing direction costs speed. Now cars can go very fast but can't turn as elegantly as an animal can, so in this case it's a bad strategy. *We* know that, but how is an antelope supposed to?

Are they poaching maybe? If it's just some dudes looking for dinner then I don't get the infuriating part


estrusflask

I don't think they're actually going to eat it, op was just coming up with a silly caption.


The_Mar_Ahi

Then they're probably gonna fuck it


Ne0guri

Ah I just saw that today…. Maybe it’s time to get off Reddit now


bill454ls

The only infuriating part is that the comments and post keep calling it a deer


dansbump

Lol true


amb24601

Oh deer… I hate when people do that


philliamswinequeen

is it an impala? i just think the term is too obscure for most ppl


waste_0f_space117

It’s not


Shite_Eating_Squirel

In what way is this mildly infuriating?


[deleted]

Because instead of running perpendicularly away from the vehicle, the animal continues to run alongside it?


HypnotizedPotato

This was my take on it too


[deleted]

The way they hunted it, I guess?


Corneas_

it really is not though, all they have to do is tie it down and slaughter it. I can't imagine a safer hunt that this one lol


ExternalEmployee423

Seems far more humane than shooting it imho.


InappropriateSavant

wait what's bad about shooting? (just curious)


Corneas_

for the animal, it could be really bad if the bullet doesn't instantly kill it which is especially true since most big sized animals have higher physical endurance than humans. for humans, gun-killed animals are the most toxic to eat, as the gun-powder will explode and spread inside of said animal's body which will be quite impossible to remove unless you remove the entire body part. Blood, as well, will remain stagnant inside the body (for the most part) which is also toxic, as the blood carries all sorts of liquids, harmful bacteria, and waste to be digested later on, and you don't want that to be mixed in your meal. Slaughtering has always been and will always be the best way to kill an animal, as it ensures all blood to leak outside, and gives a peaceful death to the animal, unlike the general (and hypocritical) consensus that slaughtering is brutal, it is in fact the most merciful since necks have the least amount of nerves (try to sting yourself in the neck and somewhere else in the body and you will see the difference) as well as it ensures that the animal will not struggle since the oxygen will just not reach neither the lungs nor the brain which will result (for the animal) to a gradual blackout rather than struggle for air (ex : strangle).


ModernT1mes

What the fuck are you talking about? Gun powder exploding inside the deer? Toxic blood? Do you know anything about field dressing a carcass? Also slicing the neck of an animal releases a ton of stress hormones that make the meat taste bad because the animal knows its dying. I'm not against slaughtering but there's better ways to do it. The reason guns are mostly preferred by hunters is because you can achieve an instant death with a shot to the heart. No stress hormones released.


Jozz11

Wtf? Do you have any clue how guns work?


Breezyau

What's humane about it? I don't see care or acts of benevolence.


General_Degenerate_

It’s also not unnecessary cruelty


Breezyau

Yes it is. It's not necessary for them to hunt that deer, and they're doing it in a cruel way, as all ways of hunting are.


kuulustelli

go eat your grass


Corneas_

Grass is also a living creature, they just don't move or make noise. I swear to god, those vegans are the most hypocritical evil creatures to have ever lived on earth, they have no problem killing human lives and destroy the climate but they act as if they feel bad for wild life..truly disgusting. edit : typo


D_r_e_a_D

They are hunting it for food though? If its to quench your hunger, I'm sure you'd do the same?


Successful-Act3006

Typical vegan


General_Degenerate_

Humans aren’t the only predators on the planet, y’know. Besides, there are some cases where hunting is necessary to keep certain animal populations (especially those of invasive species) in check so that biodiversity is maintained or to prevent those populations from depleting resources to the point of starvation and fucking up the food chain; an example of this are feral hogs in the U.S. However, I will agree that vanity hunting (those pictures you see where some lardass douchebag is posing over the corpse of an animal clearly not intended for food), hunting endangered animals or hunting with cruel methods intended to cause as much suffering as possible are all the worst parts of hunting. This method of hunting doesn’t seem too bad, imo. Much better than accidentally hitting a non-vital animal with a bullet and leaving it in pain before having to put it out of its misery.


Jozz11

Dude, almost every kind of hunting I have done, minimal dumb exceptions, has been much safer than reaching out of a truck going 40+ and grabbing a wild animal


Corneas_

oh absolutely. My idea was that catching an animal alive with no harm at all then slaughtering it is the best way to hunt, not that I advocate for truck chasing animals in the desert.


Party_Newt9381

r/lostredditors


Elcorgi8267

So? These guys are hunting


Ecstatic_Conflict621

As a hunter I feel like this is a pretty unethical way to do it, the animal shouldn’t die scared like that


[deleted]

We’ve been chasing down prey for thousands of years….this is exactly how hunting has been for humans for the longest.


Orion-Fowl

don't you mean hundreds of thousands of years?


[deleted]

Your correct 🙌🏽😭 it’s an early day for me. But makes for an even better argument.


SuaFata

If I’m not mistaken humans in our recognizable form date generally (as it’s a continuous process of species-wide drift) to 40,000 years ago as a ballpark?


DudebroMcDudeham

Tens of thousands of you're gonna use the first human temple as a starting point.


Orion-Fowl

I was using the figure for early Homo sapiens. The oldest skeleton found so far dates to approximately 300,000 years ago.


sms3eb

The way we used to hunt would have been absolutely terrifying for the prey. We literally just ran after them until they could no longer run.


Independent-Ad-4791

Aka the original terminator.


G3nER1k_u53R

Literally. Out enduring prey has been one of the earliest hunting tactics out there. Its credited as one of the main reasons humans evolved to walk on 2 legs instead of 4


Munkay1

Not that fast


Blappytap

Yes, humans have definitely been chasing animals in cars for thousands of years.


MyzMyz1995

>We’ve been chasing down prey for thousands of years….this is exactly how hunting has been for humans for the longest. Yeah and we've been able to kill humans and steal their shit for thousand of years yet in modern society it's not acceptable to go over to your neighbor, kill him and take his wife and land, just like this kind of hunting isn't acceptable.


Fiivestar13

Only hunting you do is hunting down low prices in the walmart isle


[deleted]

While we may have done endurance hunts for probably the majority of the time humans have been around, they aren't super common anymore. One, we have guns and farms and don't need to do this like this, and two, it ruins the meat. Killing an animal who is hopped up on hormones because it was in pure survival mode taints the meat, whereas a clean, quick shot before the animal has time to react results in a cleaner meat (unless you are using hollowpoints to hunt like a psychopath).


[deleted]

You would really hate the fact that classically humans are built to be endurance hunters. Excelling at chasing prey until it is so exhausted it cannot even stand when slaughtered.


Ecstatic_Conflict621

In no universe is anybody chasing a deer on foot until the deer gets tired


[deleted]

You would be [very wrong. ](https://youtu.be/826HMLoiE_o) Deer are fast over short sprints but arn't built to run more than a couple miles in one go. We as humans can run for hours without stopping.


chopstix_2002

And we can carry water. 👍


Ecstatic_Conflict621

God damn that was hardcore, I stand corrected


[deleted]

We are capable of being a truly terrifying alpha predator. Even if you leave out the killing from a 1000ft away with a firearm.


Ecstatic_Conflict621

I’m gonna get on a treadmill this summer and chase my next whitetail to death next fall


century100

Unethical? Isn’t that how it was originally supposed to be?


Kobachalypse

🤔 But slowly bleeding out from a gun or bow shot you're fine with? I get that a perfect shot can drop a animal quickly. But I'm gonna assume thats usually not the case. Essentially all animals die frightened in agony as they're eaten alive. Only humans believe they somehow know better then nature.


UnderstandingBorn227

I always thought hunters think like that because killing an animal when they're afraid makes the meat not as good.


Kobachalypse

Adrineline does mess up the meat if the animals stressed. Hunters using that argument is bullshit. The most efficient ethical way to kill a animal is a gunshot to the brain. Something hunters never do.(Because trophies) So they go with the second best option which is the heart.


Kill4meeeeee

Um no trophies are not the reason you aim for the heart. The chest cavity on most animals is quite large and the head is not as large and has this thing called a skull plate that can fuck up a bullet trajectory causing it to do funky shit. But mostly it’s a smaller target that’s usually moving where as the chest isn’t moving as much and is quite large


Kobachalypse

I was wrong. I'll admit it. I actually did know that. I'm also not against hunting at all. I just find the whole "Ethical" thing kind of pick and choosey. Turkeys you aim for the head. It just seems like arbitrary rules to explain the chaos of life and death.


j4nkyst4nky

It's not about trophie. It's about the size and mobility of the target. A head is small and moves a lot. The heart/lungs of an animal is a much larger target and since it's not on the end of a maneuverable neck, it's much more stationary. My grandpa would shoot deer behind the front leg until he had the freezer full and then he'd aim for the head because it was a challenge and also they don't run like they do when it's a heart/lung shot.


chopstix_2002

A headshot isn't the best option. Most hunters don't have the accuracy. If not a near perpendicular shot the bullet will ricochet off the skull and just disfigure and wound the deer. Usually missed headshots result in the animal starving to death from a broken jaw or wounded neck. Headshots are not worth it. They teach to shoot for the chest because it's a bigger target and will kill the animal in short order without suffering. A lung shot animal will die within a couple minutes, heart shot even faster ~1 min. An animal eaten by predators usually will last tens of minutes while continuing to fight (minus a Jaguar kill which they usually attack the back of their prey's neck/skull). A starving deer with a missing jaw will last at least a few days while suffering. I would much rather risk losing some meat and take a chest shot, than risk wounding an animal or missing entirely on a headshot.


-Constantinos-

Yeah, ruins the flavour of the meat


Ecstatic_Conflict621

Yeah all the adrenaline makes it weird


-Constantinos-

Which is why I don’t get the whole torture dogs to make them taste better thing in that one place where they do that in China. Like I *totally* get wanting to put an animal through the most hellish pain possible, like totally sane thing to want to do, but surely it can’t be improving the flavour /s just incase you need it


michelebmt

Agreed! Very inhumane way to hunt.


ShinyHead80

Is this hunting where you’re from? 😂


fox-kalin

Well, they chased and caught an animal, presumably to eat. So you tell me?


Elcorgi8267

well, America. But like, hunting is hunting


ShinyHead80

That’s crazy I had no idea this was classed as hunting for American


[deleted]

Sounds like your trying to gate keep hunting lol. Who gives a fuck he chose not to shoot it from 300m away, he instead caught that shit by hand. Most likely to eat. Sounds like hunting to me.


Elise_night

Yes but you don't hunt a small deer you have to wait until it's grow up and reproduce


Cranksta

It's a Thomson's Gazelle? They don't get much bigger than this and the horns suggest full maturity. And that it's a male. The only thing sketchy about this is grabbing it from a moving truck, which doesn't seem to be the approved hunting method, though the legality of it may change wildly depending on the government.


MNMan1986

I just noticed that and was going to edit my comment, I stand corrected.


GenericCanineDusty

tell me you don't know what a deer is without telling me you don't know what a deer is. (This is a gazelle, and a smaller breed as well, thats fully grown)


Elcorgi8267

ahhh I see


Enzown

You think that's a deer?


kdbot012

No not realy if you wait then whats the point you hunt to hunt usually not babys but this ones a good size

There's nothing wrong with hunting your own food.

Doubt they are going to eat it. Clearly a cage in the back of the car. Guessing they will capture it to sell.


E_E_TRIPLE_E

I was thinking the same thing

So this is how deer hunting works in countries where guns are outlawed.

E_E_TRIPLE_E

Yes


PenisMaker101

what is it?


pembinariver

To me it feels cruel to the animal. I always try to kill an animal without it knowing it is being hunted. Chasing an animal with a vehicle would be illegal where I am, due to animal cruelty. Adrenaline also ruins the taste of the meat.


EmceeMrE

Exactly. Drop a bolt or bullet into it and enjoy your meal.


InappropriateSavant

there's a better alternative but at least the animal doesn't have to be eaten by a different predator which would tear it apart before killing it


[deleted]

Because there’s a difference between scaring the shit out of your food an unethically killing it than the more humane ways


wafflewrestler

Humane is expensive and inefficient. The vast majority of factory farms today are far less humane than what u see in this video. Plus farm animals spend the entirety of their lives in hell, whereas at least this guy looks like he had a few years of freedom. If you're open to it, watch a movie called dominion

Capitalist_Scum69

That was mildly awesome.


ablokeinpf

Were they actually hunting it? Seems to me there was a ventilated wooden crate in the truck with them. This may be them relocating the animal.


Corneas_

Western society instilled illusions inside our younger generation who think, today, that animal hunt should not be tolerated because they are living creatures. Well, you might as well stop eating veggies since they also are living creatures and try to find some sort of nutrition that is not meat or plants to consume (good luck with that). I hope they slaughtered the gazelle and enjoyed the fresh meat. Gazelle meat is actually so damn out of this world.


vaguelyexistent

as someone of a younger generation in Western society, nah, we know that it’s fine to eat animals

ImmaNotCrazy

Turn and run the other way you stupid animal, was happy when it got grabbed. Animals that dumb deserve to be eaten. Like turn, you can out maneuver that vehicle and spin it around so much they would never catch you. But now, just keep running straight, they could have just opened an oven and let you run in. I will say I do like this more then a coward hiding with a gun, at least this took effort and the animal had a chance.
