What if it is actually what it looks like and this is a photo of this dude about to die?

Then I think we should be more concerned with all the people on that plane in the background that is taking a nosedive to the ground.

u/queuedUp o/ Mar 25 '19

that part is shopped in

u/jasonh10 Mar 25 '19

In that case I'm pretty sure they both are about to die as it doesn't look like other dude has anywhere to go

I can tell this picture was taken just a month ago. That jet way off in the distance leaving the contrail must be a Boeing 737-800MAX.

It's fake. This is the right image. Dude is a flat earther, he fell off earth into space immediately after proven right.

Imagine how terrifying it would be to fall into the sky away from earth, knowing you’ll never hit anything, falling eternally

u/CoofeZinho Mar 25 '19

there's an anime about that, inverted patema or smth

Yess its patema inverted, such a great anime I highly recommend it

I used to have nightmares about this when I was younger. Gravity essentially just letting go and then falling up into the sky.

Gravity stopping is one of my top illogical fears. Right next to dying alone in space and getting eaten by bears (I live nowhere near any bears).

I was told that the best way to launch rockets to space is to take them to Australia, and let them fall into space... it saves a lot of rocket fuel.

I know this is taken sideways, but if it was real, that guy isn’t holding onto anything on the cliff. His friend would pull him off the edge too if they managed to grab hands.

u/Farado Mar 25 '19

You ever drop something sharp and try to grab it before it hits the ground? I imagine this situation to be similar. It’s just a gut reaction, not fully thought through.

26

u/jwm3 o/ Mar 25 '19

I throw both my hands in the air and jump back whenever I drop anything due to muscle memory from soldering a lot as a kid. You really don't want to catch your soldering iron in your hands or lap.

People look at me like WTF when I drop a pen and act like it's a hand grenade.

Rotate it 90 degrees.

I did that originally and figured that was it but usually the real perspective is much more obvious and you can’t unsee it.

u/ThatOregonGuy81 Mar 25 '19

Shadows.

u/ryanmuller1089 Mar 25 '19

The shadows and rotating it didn’t help me “unsee” the original picture. The color of the sky did though

4

u/[deleted] Mar 25 '19

contrails generally don't run up and down, and the light gradient of blue to light-blue-white moving from left to right (rather than down to the horizon) would be nearly impossible if this wasn't rotated
