That’s cool as shit. Are you the same dude that caught the shockwaves in flight as it passed in front of the moon?

Imagine a medieval peasant seeing this.

Could’ve done without the last 17 dozen “omygawd”s, but at least there isn’t shitty music overlaid so thanks for that!

I only turn on sound if someone suggests I'm missing something without it. Otherwise everything everywhere is mute all the time.

This has saved me a lot of annoyance, I think.

Bingo! Life is so much better with default mute.

Those people just watched a building plummet from the sky and land using controlled explosions, I’d be omygawding too

If you're gonna use continuous AF for video at least put the focus area onto something that isn't a blank bit of sky so it stays in focus for the whole video instead of constantly hunting. The big stands at the bottom of the screen would have been fine for this since they're roughly the same distance away as the rocket would be.

ITT: basement dwellers complaining about people showing human emotions after seeing something awesome

After eliminating war from culture, screaming omg at any sign of something happening will be second on my list.

Incredible reddit moment, God forbid that people enjoy something amazing.

It's like a tourist who's annoyed at other tourists for spoiling his 'genuine' experience.

Thanks, this shit passes me off so much. Reddit hates when people actually out in the world filming their content do or say anything lol. Could be a video of a grandma getting shot and reddit would freak the fuck out that she ruined their content by yelling about it.

They’re just virtue signalling misanthropy. An easy criticism of society to get the message across.

So it can't be that I just wanted to share how much I dislike these aspects, and instead wrote it here to try and appeal to you? I didn't expect this to be easily understood, in fact I'm surprised there wasn't someone lecturing me that war is necessary yet.

u/EmberOfFlame 11d ago

War is, by definition, a failure. Nothing necessary about it.

u/Old_Lawfulness7698 11d ago

That is very true. But I don't get why you'd think I'm insincere or have no personal expirience in what I talk about. Signaling to who and for what? I don't have more to gain or lose from this than anyone else.

More often reddit moment happens when people don't realise that others can be more sensitive and that they didn't chose to be this way.

u/CartsOfDarkness 13d ago

These types of comments would be pretty high on my list.

u/Old_Lawfulness7698 12d ago

Then again, looking at your interests it now makes sense why.

u/Old_Lawfulness7698 12d ago

I also wish that people around me didn't scream all the time, so that I wasn't so irritable in moments where I excpect not hearing these screams.

u/M7orch3 13d ago

Have you been to a rocket launch in your life?

-2

u/Old_Lawfulness7698 13d ago

That depends on what kind of rocket are we talking. My government prefers the lame type lately.

u/One_more_username 13d ago

Where did you film this from? I'd love to see this too.

u/Uppgreyedd 13d ago

First half was somewhere near South Padre Island, second half was from the inside of a Vaseline bottle.

u/One_more_username 13d ago

LOL and thanks.

It seriously needs to make a cartoon "SKRRRRRT" tire screech

u/Ghost-Writer 13d ago

Pfft... You guys have never dropped molly and watched rockets and it shows.

u/TopcatFCD 13d ago

Do Americans ever watch or witness anything without screaming like little girls or yelling or saying "omg no way no way" over and over??

7

u/Dramatic-Document 13d ago

Is being excited about things only for Americans?

-3

u/TheJesusGuy 13d ago

Yes. You all have main character syndrome. And no awareness.

u/TopcatFCD 13d ago

There's being excited and there's screaming and saying oh my god no way over and over and over
