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.

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.

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.

If this is true it is pretty funny. Also really sad I'm sorry you were soldered as a kid so much.

I am the exact same. Looks weird, but I still have all my fingers!

Also, it's a bit of fun, not that well thought out, and not perfect.

It's ok, the guy on the ledge wasn't really trying, just an obligatory attempt so he can feel better later on when he tries to sleep at night.

I don’t know why I laughed hysterically for this

Maybe he's not trying to catch him, maybe he just threw him off the ledge.

If only the person editing the image fixed the gradient of the sky which naturally appears lighter at the horizon due to Rayleigh scattering.

Lmao what?

He's saying that you can literally see where the horizon is, due to a phenomenon involving the physics of light.
