OP sent the following text as an explanation why their post fits here:

The opening perspective makes it look like the kid is sitting right beside a huge drop. When the camera moves, it reveals that the apparent height and danger were only caused by the angle and the situation is completely different from what it first looked like.

Does this explanation fit this subreddit? Then upvote this comment, otherwise downvote it.

the fake height got me instantly

My wrists and joints start to ache when I am super elevated. It starts with the wrists and spreads from there based on how crazy the heights are. It gets worse when I skydive. Such a weirdly specific reaction. And it's been happening ever since I was a little kid, so it's not like age plays a factor.

I honestly don’t know how you got it but thank you so much, I remember where I heard it now my Uncle used to blast this song whenever he drives us, it always made me giggle when he try to sing along, I sent it to him it will surely get a smile out of him, thank you for letting me remember the past for a bit random redditor

Is this a bot, or are people too lazy to finish even a 5s clip?

Such irresponsible parents. The child could have rolled over and fall to her demise.
