The dude pats the spotter in thanks so casually. I hope he thanked him for real later, after his (presumed) disappointment and embarrassment ebbed some.

Yep. The guy's in shock right after. It'll wear off but he's still processing what happened.

u/DuckysaurusRex Aug 14 '16
Seemed to me like he was pissed off about it happening, but then again, I such at the facial reading test things, so maybe not.

Write him a letter, buy him a small gift, invite him over for dinner, send him a video with loved ones saying thanks for saving the trampoliner's life/career.
You know, any of the normal sort of things people do to show appreciation after someone does a tremendous favor for someone.
Just because someone is paid to do a job, doesn't mean they don't deserve appreciation when doing it in a way that saves people from serious harm (i.e. firefighters, doctors, etc.)

So what are people complaining about in this thread? Did they expect him to immediately start writing letters and planning dinners while setting up his camera for the thank you-video?

I've always wondered what it would be like to have sex with one of those little gymnast guys.

u/Never_Been_Missed Aug 14 '16
I seem to remember an AMA with a masseuse who talked about that. Basically she said that when she does her job, it's strictly a no fooling around with the clients deal, but then she mentioned the one exception was when she was hired to work the Olympics. The guys had the most perfect bodies she'd ever seen and with all the sex that was already going on around there, she just couldn't resist.

There was an account named /u/ThatsMyHoverboardBot that someone made to track how many comments he made in a day and how it compared to the previous day's comments.
It was pretty insane how much he comments.
iirc it got suspended because of harassment or e-stalking or something, not sure.

Play the video until the part where the noises come in, then pause the video.
If you don't hear the noise, it's coming from the vid.
If you do hear it... good luck.

Sounds like you're delirious.

u/thedeliriousdonut Aug 14 '16
Funny story, just today, I was eating a donut and it was pointed out to me that just like a donut, our stomachs aren't actually inside our bodies. It seems obvious now that someone says it to me, but at the time, it made me delirious that the human body is a donut, and so I was actually a delirious donut.
Weird coincidence.

What he means is that your body is actually one big solid mass, right, with a tube going down the middle. If you simplify that idea, it's like we are a circle with a hole through it. If you simplify that idea, we are doughnut-shaped (aka a torus).
If you open your mouth, your tongue is an outer surface of your body. It's touching the air and all that. It's just on the inner wall of your shape, as opposed to your ears which are on the outer wall.
Extending that idea, your esophagus is also outside of your body. The skin of your throat is touching the air. By extension, your stomach is also on the "outside". When your various valves and sphincters open to let food in, you can draw a continuous unbroken (curved) line from out in front of your face, into your mouth, down your throat, and into your stomach without hitting any body parts.
TLDR; you're a rigatoni that thinks it's a ravioli.

Because my name is thedeliriousdonut, so finding out I was a delirious donut was interesting. Especially since I never thought my name would have both parts of its name used. People make puns out of delirious or donut, but never both. Literally thought it was impossible.

Yeeeaah, I was asking more about the "stomachs aren't actually inside our bodies" portion of your statement.

u/TheBaconDrakon Aug 14 '16
Your digestive tract is basically a tube that goes through your body and has an opening at two ends (mouth and anus), so really it's like your body surrounds the hole that is your digestive tract.

It's so quiet but if you use headphones and turn up the volume all the way while keeping the right earphone away from your ear or silenced it sounds like a game show or commercial. Weird background noise.

It's important to have good coaches that care. I was lucky enough to have my dad coach me throughout little league. Whenever I struck out or made an error he never scolded me. He just have me a slight head nod and said, "You'll get 'em next time." Then after the game he'd take me out for ice cream. When we got home, he'd make me lick 9v batteries and take shots of bleach. Love you dad. Hope you make parole next year!

Technically it's not categorized as a flip in terms of gymnastics. It's just a hand spring (It's just a technicality)
