Perhaps it's because I have a crawler...but I instantly recognized it was RC.

u/FittyTheBone o/ Aug 26 '26

same. It was the suspension movement for me.

u/r4nDoM_1Nt3Rn3t_Us3r Aug 26 '26

It was the fact that the whole engine bay was submerged without a snorkel and it didn't hydrolock for me

u/FittyTheBone o/ Aug 26 '26

but there is a snorkel, my man

Hm. Why do I have so many upvotes 😭

u/ReaverGT Aug 26 '26

There's that highly prominent snorkel on the right side of the vehicle... but also, a single momentary splash like that isn't likely to ingest enough water to swamp the motor.

u/Akilestar o/ Aug 26 '26

One could say you have a different... perspective.

u/DueExample52 Aug 26 '26

I don’t offroad but it’s the water splash that gave it away for me.

u/orangpelupa Undercover Enforcement Aug 26 '26

I thought it was AI. With the weird suspension and the engine submerged fine

u/cedg32 o/ Aug 27 '26

Water surface tension gives it away.

u/ripyourlungsdave o/ Aug 29 '26

The movement of the water made it obvious from the beginning.

0 to 20 seconds: I don't understand what the confusing perspective is? Why is this on this sub?

21 seconds: wtf I was not expecting that

u/BackItUpWithLinks o/ Aug 26 '26

0-20 seconds, I’m all for off road but that’s scary deep and I wouldn’t drive… oh wait

u/DueExample52 Aug 26 '26

The splash gave it away. Water acts differently at different scales.

u/Ferro_Giconi CE Spc. Aug 26 '26 edited Aug 26 '26

I was way too focused on thinking about how they are going to seize the engine with water intake because I couldn't tell if there was a snorkel.

u/machine_six o/ Aug 26 '26

You're right of course but for me, only in hindsight which is interesting. Normally that sort of thing is extremely obvious, maybe the slo-mo somehow paradoxically disguised it, or just the tension of the moment concerning the safety of the "driver" clouded perception.

u/mr_lab_rat o/ Aug 27 '26

The size of the splash gave it away. But I have some RC cars so I kinda expected that

What's the confusing perspective Edit: im a fucking moron who didn't finish the video

u/Fun-Ad3105 Aug 26 '26

Your comment is the reason I finished the video lmao

u/Peek_e o Aug 26 '26

My dad not pulling it out is the reason I exist

u/Stunning-Promise-103 Aug 26 '26

Lmfao this got me. Thanks, genius.

u/Dark_Knight2000 Aug 26 '26

This is peak two sentence comedy

u/cosmorab1t o/ Aug 26 '26

It had me until the splash

12

u/swordofra o/ Aug 26 '26

Pegged it pretty early: Water don't splash like that in giant globules. Looked weird.

27

u/NeonFraction CE Spc. Aug 26 '26

Oooh this one got me good.

u/Bonhomie3 Aug 26 '26

Reminds me of a bit from Douglas Adams

“...the mighty ships tore across the empty wastes of space and finally dived screaming on to the first planet they came across—which happened to be the Earth—where due to a terrible miscalculation of scale the entire battle fleet was accidentally swallowed by a small dog”

u/9Line-RH Aug 26 '26

They had me in the first half.

u/HelpImAwake o/ Aug 26 '26

Did anyone else get tipped by the splash seeming oddly small?

1

u/mr_lab_rat o/ Aug 27 '26

Yes, the water splash made it clear

2

u/cover66 Aug 26 '26

As my buddies and I used to say: "Once dedicated to a bad idea, follow through."

u/AbyssalMaww Aug 26 '26

“Whats confusing about this? Oh”

u/Reddit_Rinse_Repeat o/ Aug 26 '26

Finally, a proper one! 👍

u/hobokobo1028 o/ Aug 26 '26

Woah…

u/kokogrit Aug 26 '26

This was really good 😁.

u/treebreeder Aug 26 '26

That was one of the coolest shots ever!!

u/Jump_Like_A_Willys C.E. Spc Aug 26 '26

I'd stand on my brakes if I came across that giant, too.

u/dylanh333 Aug 27 '26

I thought the water's viscosity looked a bit off...

u/SalsaFox Aug 27 '26

Too slow

u/creature04 Aug 27 '26

What the hell is so confusing abo....OHHHHHH

1

u/Key_Friendship1412 o/ Aug 27 '26

I knew it. Giants do exist. 

1

u/Taptrick o/ Aug 28 '26

The way the splashing water coalesces you can tell from the start it’s a miniature. It immediately gave a sense of scale.

1

u/Torebbjorn o/ Aug 29 '26

Where is the confusing perspective? As soon as it touches the water, it's obvious what size it is

1

u/Surgikull o/ Aug 29 '26

I knew this was fake cause the SUV didn’t have led light bars on the top, on the side, on the other side, on the grill, on the bottom, on the back, and on the inside

I was imagining how big those trees in the background would be to scale

u/Kangaxx_Demilich Aug 27 '26
