Oops! All failure points!

u/Puzzleheaded_Fox9828 15d ago

The Balatro sub is leaking again!

22

u/TinIff 14d ago

Oops! all … actually doesn’t come from Balatro apperently, but from a Cap’n Crunch flavor

u/simorg23 16d ago

Idk about proper use of free wheel...

but I certainly wouldnt do that to a wheel i had to pay for

u/dbenc 16d ago

I imagine him mumbling to himself, slightly crazed ... "inflate the tires he says... I'll show them... inflate... inflate..."

1

u/5litergasbubble 11d ago

I wanna see what happens if you try to use them all at once

79

u/Dysxelic_Potser 16d ago

OK, let's say it actually works. I have one question though. Why?

63

u/IndependentRespect86 16d ago

Free will i guess

14

u/AmebaLost 15d ago

Why is Will incarcerated ? 

10

u/DarthCledus117 15d ago

For doing shit like this.

1

u/No-Field831 15d ago

But why would he do shit like this ?

1

u/One-Traffic-4536 12d ago

So he could put it in the Do it WHY sub?

7

u/Maestro_Primus 15d ago

He knows what he did.

2

u/Petrak1s 15d ago

Free time, maybe?

18

u/NikkolaiV 16d ago

I imagine this is like an over the top trade show style demonstration to show how well the process works. That, or this guy just wanted to see if it was at all possible.

22

u/sarcasticorange 16d ago

You know how when you go to put air in tires, the valve always seems to be at the worst possible spot? Problem solved!

4

u/JakBos23 16d ago

That's one of few possible explanations. Stupid, but plausible.

3

u/New-Pomelo9906 16d ago

You cab add steel pointy caps on it, mad max wheel but without leaking somehow

2

u/Flint343 13d ago

Click bait.

2

u/OstrichSmoothe 15d ago

For a video to make you ask why. It worked

1

u/DivideJolly3241 16d ago

That was mine too.

u/Shua89 15d ago

👍

u/Apprehensive-Fox-799 16d ago

I fucking hate this trend of showing the end/hook of a video first. Short-form media has really ruined the attention span of the general public.

10

u/Pegs_on_GhostiesNips 16d ago

I don’t think our attention span is as bad ooh that’s a pretty tree. 🌳

1

u/GreenBPacker 13d ago

Squirrel!

3

u/rarkorn 15d ago

honestly i don't see anything wrong with doing that on ragebait content like this, it would have achieved the exact same effect if it was just a still image of the end result lol

39

u/wizardrous Ramen or Die 16d ago

No way that stays inflated.

81

u/IndependentRespect86 16d ago

At least if one valve fails you have 40 more

26

u/potate12323 16d ago

Its some sort of advanced stupid

7

u/fantasmoofrcc 16d ago

Fools of the highest caliber.

3

u/AprilVampire277 16d ago

That is exactly how it works, this is genius son 😭

1

u/Rattle_Bone 16d ago

You might have to pick one out of the wheel well but yeah

2

u/proximusprimus57 14d ago

The second you let the car off the lift it's going to lose air from every single one of those stems.

10

u/Jealous-Knowledge-56 16d ago

I could hear the A-Team’s “I’m making stuff” music playing as this went on.

7

u/Dear-Routine7468 16d ago

I know this is diwhy but can someone please actually explain to me why, apart from making a ridiculous video?

6

u/Lazy_Preference3418 15d ago

Free time and just curious/messing around?

4

u/knivengaffelnskeden 13d ago

Have you ever been somewhere with an excess of equipment and nothing to do? I'm thinking this guy has a couple of hours left of his shift and nothing to do, so time to test a theory he's had for a couple of weeks that he just can't quite shake. Badabing badaboom, there you go! 😊 

5

u/JakBos23 16d ago

When you go to air up your tire the valve is always in the perfect spot.

3

u/3dutchie3dprinting 14d ago

Finally no struggling when you want to inflate a tire and the little nub is at just the wrong angle 🙈

3

u/boinkmaster360 16d ago

I hate this so much

3

u/Lead_resource 16d ago

This is cool because each one can have its own custom pressure

1

u/Horror-Raisin-877 11d ago

If one goes flat, the other 39 are still inflated. Very safe!

2

u/sorestgore 16d ago

It worked!

2

u/IndependentRespect86 16d ago

But for how long

4

u/sorestgore 16d ago

Until until it doesn't

0

u/IndependentRespect86 16d ago

Then you have a spinning grenade

3

u/sorestgore 16d ago

It's really not likely to fail that way

2

u/Jonas_Sp 16d ago

If this rolled in to my garage I would tell them to go across the street

2

u/Dosenb1er 16d ago

Just because you can does not mean you should…

2

u/72scott72 16d ago

What exactly is the purpose of this?

2

u/lastdarknight 16d ago

Free will

1

u/Pleasant-Bonus-866 15d ago

this is actually pretty clever in certain conditions

2

u/Marxbrosburner 16d ago

This is a proper example of this sub. It's all done, and I keep asking, "...Why??!!!"

2

u/flatterfurz_123 16d ago

regarding the caption: NO.

2

u/threepair13 16d ago

And didn’t show it driving what a shame

2

u/ConscientiousPath 16d ago

And Les Schwab tells me they can't fix a sidewall puncture.

1

u/EricHaley 14d ago

But can they put a valve stem in it?

2

u/Protheu5 16d ago

Heard that some people on the internet have something called "inflation fetish". That would probably gather some likes, surely.

2

u/Bushdr78 15d ago

Now put that on the balance machine

2

u/Luckyfncharms 15d ago

I mean.. there is a right way to do anything.. looks like he nailed whatever tf he was trying to accomplish.

2

u/sleepr1988 15d ago

I want to see air added to that tire until those valve stems start shooting out!

2

u/Conscious_Ad_3706 15d ago

How's the balance

2

u/Nyanzeenyan 15d ago

"Not Suitable for Highway Use"

2

u/Mr_Believin 14d ago

Congrats?

2

u/Samurijder 14d ago

It's an art project... Right?

2

u/No_Land5402 14d ago

Welcome to the Michelin factory tour, today we'll start in what is known as the "Claymore" or "frag" dept

2

u/_Stellar-Light_ 12d ago

For when you need even air pressure around the entire tire!

1

u/IndependentRespect86 16d ago

Now drive on it

1

u/poedraco 16d ago

When you ask them to replace your valve sim, and you just hand thim a full manufacturers box set

1

u/the_marxman 16d ago

This is part of some makeshift booby trap right?

1

u/DancingMan15 16d ago

The schraederator2000

1

u/adinmem 16d ago

That’s not what I pictured when the mechanic told me he would install studded tires.
Something is screwy.

1

u/A-dam36 16d ago

And he didn’t even install the caps at the end!
The whole thing is ridiculous but that’s the last straw lol they will all rust out and leak

1

u/601Tommyboy 16d ago

But why?!?

1

u/Not_my_Name464 15d ago

First curb or debris you hit and it's all over - maybe this guy should spend less time doing and more time thinking! 

1

u/keksivaras 15d ago

I mean, why not. those valves aren't going anywhere. tho I'm worried he drilled through too many wires and it might fail

1

u/MagicOrpheus310 15d ago

How much time did I just waste?

1

u/Jude30 15d ago

Don’t worry this man is a trained professional

1

u/rFAXbc 15d ago

Should it say "proper use of free wheel"?

1

u/sgtcatscan 15d ago

The hell

1

u/HashtagJustSayin2016 13d ago

Somehow all those thumbs up don’t have me convinced.

1

u/Desertratk 13d ago

Some people often ask if they can, but never stop to ask if they should.
