I don't think karma is applicable, the guy couldn't see the massive crane beyond the truck cab, and there's no reason for him to lean forward and check because massive cranes on the back of trains are not a thing.

“Look,” interrupted Molyneux, leaning forwards on his bucket. “Here’s the thing. I’m going to be very honest with you now. There are lessons to be learned in my line of work, hard lessons about horses. You talk about horses and rooms and," Molyneux pinched the bridge of his nose. "Well, people’s imaginations run away with them. They suddenly have some fantastic notion of what this horse is capable of, and they conjure up the splendour of the room in which this horse supposedly lives. Even though I never said the horse lives in the room, just that he was there."

This man in my avatar. That's my poppa. He repeated the story for DECADES about a particular truth-telling little girl.

Art Linkletter had a show called "Kids Say the Darnedest Things." Methinks Eric3579 remembers this show. There was a segment where Art would ask kids questions, just to see what they would say.

He asked this one memorable girl -- the red light on a stoplight means stop, the green means go. What does the yellow light mean?

She leaned forward into the mike and said "Step on the gas."

My dad would tell that story and chuckle and chuckle and chuckle.

I had one of those cursing keychains back in the early 90s. Was doing IT support at work, sitting next to this executive who was having trouble with her computer. I leaned forward to point at the screen, forgetting the keychain was in my shirt pocket and suddenly hear "fuck you!" I froze and was at a loss for words. I think there was enough background noise where she didn't hear it, for which I was grateful.

In the early 1980s I conned my way into a London chauffeur's job. I figured I could slowly learn my around. To my utter horror, my first job was to pick up Mr Starkey(Ringo) and his beautiful actress wife Barbara Bach from the Dorchester Hotel. I had no clue where the Fk I was going. He soon realised but he could not have been nicer or more understanding. Leaning forward and telling me which way to steer the Rolls, he put me totally at ease. He never told my boss, for which I was even more grateful than the substantial tip (which he would not let me refuse). I know it's a minor anecdote, but it gives a small insight into his decency.

I remember a friend had his uncle's Porsche 928 for a night and he bet me that I couldn't change the channel on the radio for 5 seconds. He won. I could reach forward with my arms, but I couldn't lean forward enough to get to the radio.

Good times :-)

Wow, I think you are really missing out like people who can't see the image in "magic eye" stereograms. I thought it was a pretty killer effect.

The awesomesauce isn't just from where the light is landing, but that it looks like there are two of him and the other one is leaning forward out of the mirror into 3D space to shine the light into her mouth.

Our school got these nice "ergonomic" chairs.. Man they are awful, there's no lock, there's a spring and in order to stay in good posture, you have to simultaneously keep your self up, lean on your elbows and push back.. When you lean forward the back support follows you and pushes slowly you to the edge of your seat and when you lean back it's like you got nothing there and the whole thing feels like it's gonne capsize. It's simultaneously too stiff and too soft. It takes about 2 hours and i get back cramps.. And they claim they are super healthy as you can't relax.. If i ever meet the guy who designed those, i'm gonna kick him in the nuts. I'll take my gaming chair anyday..

I tend to disagree. For example, in eric3579's video above, the pro female and male still tend to throw in the typical way, with the female mostly vertical, rotating sideways and the male going mostly horizontal, leaning forward.

Not sure what you mean by "did no better than the women..."

Ah, I see. You are focusing on "throwing ability" (accuracy, speed, etc.), whereas I'm just talking strictly about posture.

Lean Forward.

Here's a question.

I am playing Amnesia and I've soiled my pants, I approach a corner and want to look around the corner. I think my natural reaction will be to physically, in real life, lean forward a bit while physically facing left or right. Can this device detect that, and move my in game char forward in some way if I lean forward?

I have started work on an better product called Lean Forward While You Shit (patent pending).

The instructional video will have plenty of funny farting sounds.

So you quote the convo to add something to one of your response lines even after I have been proven he is wearing regular shoes. You're pathetic. In the words of 4chan/b "Kindly, kill yourself."

You're obviously not familiar with things like momentum and weight shifting on your feet, no matter how I break it down to you. I guess you can't teach stupid people new things.

Um, not really. I don't know what kind of skates you have ever used, but you don't "wind up" skate wheels. What he is doing at the beginning is getting his step right before he launches backward. Like I said, it's a controlled fall. The end with him stumbling is due to his aforementioned backward momentum, slick shoes and a slick wet surface. Also, if they were wheels, you wouldn't hear the scraping of shoe tread on the ground as he did this either. By you'r logic, when I do my foot glides (and I stumble), then I'm wearing wheels. There actually is an art to doing this right, and it's supposed to look like you're on wheels when done correctly; otherwise, it's not a glide. This is just an extremely exaggerated glide.

As a person who has a lot of footwork focus when I dance, I can explain this.
From a stand he leans forward and slings one leg back very quickly. While the momentum is still carrying him backwards, he has to immediately bring the back leg forward, and the front leg back to keep himself moving. From that point he is pretty much in a constant falling state where the foot coming forward catching himself since the other foot must be thrown back to maintain momentum. Notice his back foot is barely getting underneath in time while the other foot has already started to be flung out. His timing is just cray good. This is also why you see him stumble at the end. His foot-speed countered momentum stopped so he ended up falling forward from his counter balance.
Hope this helps the blown brains.

Definitely wheels...You can even see him winding them up at the start before suddenly taking off. And watch again, because his "stumble" at the end is not just his momentum, you can clearly see him skating. I'm surprised people cannot see it.


"There are none so blind as those who will not see." What you claim he is doing with just shoes is, literally, impossible. As i stated, my kids have these wheeled shoes. Never mind though, I give up trying to make you open your eyes. Oh, and btw, I have a few card tricks you will believe are magic too.
Clearly you can, because you have taught yourself that physics can be denied. I'm done.
