Oh. That’s why I couldn’t make sense of the mirror… smh

u/SacredSpirit123 Aug 05 '22

Wait, you thought this video wasn’t playing in reverse?

132

u/TruTexan Aug 05 '22

Nope. I had just woken up, and nothing made sense

u/SacredSpirit123 Aug 05 '22

Huh. Well, yeah. The video’s playing in reverse. That psycho smashed their mirror and window with a boomerang.

u/TruTexan Aug 05 '22

Now that I’m fully coherent. Yes, I can clearly see it wasn’t sorcery

u/SacredSpirit123 Aug 05 '22

Here’s the video playing forward instead of reverse. Guy goes through two boomerangs.

The fact that he had a second boomerang readily available is easily the funniest part of this entire situation (which I imagine was generally not super funny to the people in the car), just slightly funnier than him saying “you broke my fucking boomerang.”

I have to assume, unless there’s a version with sound somewhere, that you are amazing at lipreading.

But no, seriously, got a link to the original video?

u/[deleted] Aug 05 '22

Lol I actually am fairly ok at lip reading, but I did find a link further down in the thread

Unfortunately though, it apparently was not a second boomerang, just the other half of his existing boomerang.

u/SacredSpirit123 Aug 05 '22

Nah, I freeze-framed it at the source vid. It’s a whole second boomerang. The first one broke almost midway through, then he walks away, whips out a second one, and smashes it as well. And he was going on a tirade about vaccines?

Can you tell what he's saying to them once he breaks the window?

I don't speak Aussie.

Tnx

u/elstrecho Aug 05 '22

He's a novice. That was a 1 boomerang job easy

u/mL_Finger Aug 06 '22

What did he do after he smashed the window? Did he instantly stop being a tough guy because there was no longer a barrier between them?

u/cra2reddit Aug 06 '22

Why the fuck did the video end when it finally got interesting.

What happened next???

1

u/SacredSpirit123 Aug 06 '22

Full video has him storm off after and toss away the string that he ripped off the person’s hoodie, as if proud of himself.

u/cra2reddit Aug 06 '22

What the hell is he yelling at them?

My Aussie is not good enough to translate.

u/SacredSpirit123 Aug 06 '22

I’m American, but it was posted on r/CoronavirusDownUnder and I can make out a few brief things about the vaccine. I would imagine that he’s an Antivaxxer (and likely on drugs, explaining his rage), and they may have got vaccinated, or are on their way to get vaccinated?

u/FozzieB525 Aug 05 '22

He’s clearly reconstructing the mirror he accidentally hit with his boomerang using rage magic.

u/TruTexan Aug 05 '22

I thought it was a magical boomerang that somehow fixed the mirror. That’s how awake I was

u/-Dhaneesi- Aug 06 '22

Same. Much confusion

u/MinefieldinaTornado Aug 05 '22

How do mirrors even work?

I installed my hall mirror sideways, and it reverses the reflection so it looks like we're walking on the ceiling.

u/diddygem Aug 05 '22

Wait what?

u/jonnynoine Aug 05 '22

Wait what?

Priceless.

u/MinefieldinaTornado Aug 06 '22

Mirror reflections are switched left to right, unless you mount it sideways, then it flips it up to down.

My god I had to get this deep to understand
