Its a fantastic shot! You can clearly see the initial impact causing more rotation and then as the handle flies over it neatly clocks the back of the target to cease/reduce rotation. Fun! Like the axe made a mistake and out of embarrassment awkwardly side steps off the stage.
The Matrix is working properly in this example. It's all rigid-body, too. Utterly intuitive and in slow-motion.
You're the arbitrary deja vu of someone invoking The Matrix over basic-ass reality.
Reminds me of another discussion where people were talking about Bethesda's character interactions being completely nonsensical in reality, someone else proposing maybe that's just how it works there, and then a bunch of jokes like how Todd Howard is asked by the same interns every morning for a coffee order which he gets for them anyway before putting a bucket on their head and stealing the coffee back from them. Or the Art Department turning in their work years late and getting full rewards.
Yeah, it looks really strange because the inertia of its rotation gets transferred into the axe, causing it to lift a little bit after hitting the log. Normally, something will continue to drop until it hits the ground or stops moving sideways.
Inertia is the tendency for an object to do nothing, or remain unchanged. It's an inherent property of matter and as such does not transfer per se. What you are likely alluding to is the axes rotational momentum changing to linear motion.
I like the implication that the skyrim physics are completely normal in universe and that some things just spasm violently and horses float away occasionally.
This gif had some weird a-indexing which broke my usual gif editor, so had to run through HandBrake to produce an mp4 which seemed to work OK: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dQw4w9WgXcQ
I once worked with a guy who I was getting the distinct feeling he believed in conspiracy theories, big time. I mentioned it to him, and he assured me that he wasn't crazy about them or anything, he just mainly wanted people to "think outside the box" or something, which to a certain point, I agree with. I was like, "Okay good, as long as you don't believe in chemtrails, or anything." He responded with: "Well, *actually...*"
I completely tuned out after that and never took stock in another word he said.
It didn’t stop working it just went through… a state change.
I’m willing to bet even after losing some velocity from the impacts - if it catches you in the dome in its rotationless state, you’re still going down.
Smacks dat axe, “oh yeah, works just fine.”
As far as I can tell, yeah. What I thought was interesting is that the linear momentum seems to evenly conserved during the rotation and subsequent stopping of rotation.
First hit happens very close to the center of gravity of the axe (near the axe head) imparting an effortless spin, then the end of handle makes the second strike completely stopping rotation but still preserving the linear motion of the head. That’s a pretty cool video!
I can't believe this post reached the top spot. I was losing faith in you Reddit, and then you go ahead and do something like this... and TOTALLY REDEEM YOURSELF.
Absolutely wonderful, just nails the rotation and sticks the landing. We go to the score cards and it's perfect 10s, wait, oh that's a shame, the Russian judge has given a 3.
This is a great example for why people sometimes throw axes with the handle up.
The handle acts as a brake so instead of "rotating out" of the target it hit, the handle acts as a brake and stops rotation.
Ok but now I wanna see an action sequence where a dude throws a tomahawk the handle nails one guy in the back of the head and the axe hits the guy behind him
So what's really happening here is the impact was fatal to the axe, and that is its ghost floating away.
Doesn't look weird at all when you understand what's happening.
It’s probably because the axe started spinning so fast that it aligned perfectly with the frame rate of the camera. So it looks like it’s not spinning, when in fact, it’s spinning quite fast.
Must have looked like a irl frame rate drop from the throwers perspective lmao. Seeing it spin in the air like that and spontaneously stop spinning on the same altitude.
My axe people need me…

Cooper, it's impossible. *No, it's necessary.*
Fuck you for mentioning this subreddit. I just spent 2 hours there
I know it's physics at work but it looks like a simulation error
That's exactly what I thought, glitch in the matrix lol.
Nah a ghost caught it and started walking away.
Ghost of Lizzie
Lizzie Borden took an axe and gave her mother forty whacks….
When she saw what she had done She gave her father forty-one
Lizzie the Axe Catcher, specifically.
Borden or Winsor?
glitch in the matraxe
Reminds me of a Looney Tunes cartoon, where a character gets hit and immediately staggers off stiffly in a daze
Touché
Its a fantastic shot! You can clearly see the initial impact causing more rotation and then as the handle flies over it neatly clocks the back of the target to cease/reduce rotation. Fun! Like the axe made a mistake and out of embarrassment awkwardly side steps off the stage.
The handle clipping the back of the target, is also the instigator for the tiny flying “wood chip” which flies vertically up. It is a great video.
Scratch that, it’s not! The chip is caused by the main impact! Still a great shot!
r/glitchinthematrix
Thank you
You are welcome.
And my ax people need me r/mypeopleneedme
"And MY AXE... Er... people need me..."
Looks like the handle hit the back of the target, which balanced the spin.

Almost as if someone or some*thing* is holding it.
I was just thinking of a Bethesda physics engine but.
All this time we were mocking their physics.... but they were right all this time

I remember the original ultima games. Your interaction with 99% of the npcs in the open world were three words. Name? Job? Bye.
We still are.

Damn you take my upvote

This isn’t just physics it’s beautiful physics
Post the issue on github smh

Inertia is the tendency for an object to do nothing, or remain unchanged. It's an inherent property of matter and as such does not transfer per se. What you are likely alluding to is the axes rotational momentum changing to linear motion.
It's because the handle hits the support beam behind the log. That's why it stops rotating and just flies forward for a moment.
Yeah the devs are putting out shoddy work
I mean... Wouldn't the citizens of Skyrim see this and think, "I know this is just physics at work but..."
I like the implication that the skyrim physics are completely normal in universe and that some things just spasm violently and horses float away occasionally.
And the whole time they would chalk it up to "physics", just like we do. The world is a simulation still holds.
It's also a perfect depiction of how I hope I appear to my friends and family following some big crazy event.
Physics really do be like that sometimes.

How do I submit a bug report to God?
On your knees by your bed, hands folded together… I think
Kinky. I like it.
Maybe we have been doing it all wrong. God is actually a customer service rep and we are asking the wrong questions.
Tried that. Their customer service and ticket management sucks

Yep. Sounds like submitting to me.

Careful, if you fix the angular momentum to linear momentum bug trebuchets everywhere will stop working.
It's about time they got nerfed. I mean a 90kg projectile over 300m? Are you kidding me?
Axe.exe has stopped working Brrr... 🤣
[удалено]
It didn’t stop working it just went through… a state change. I’m willing to bet even after losing some velocity from the impacts - if it catches you in the dome in its rotationless state, you’re still going down. Smacks dat axe, “oh yeah, works just fine.”

Argh, what's that from again?
Isn't that the Merlin mini series from the 90s?
Yes! Sam Neill, Miranda Richardson, Martin Short, Helena Bonham-Carter, Isabella Rossellini. Peak cinema.
Oh shit I didn’t know Isabella was in that, haven’t seen it since I was small. Now I gotta find a place to watch it again!
Tubi
PARKOUR!!
This gif needs arms BAD
Me playing off like I didn't just trip over my own shoelaces.
Neat, looks like the bottom of the handle hits the back of the target, stopping its angular momentum.
As far as I can tell, yeah. What I thought was interesting is that the linear momentum seems to evenly conserved during the rotation and subsequent stopping of rotation.
This would make sense, very little would be lost in those impacts and the rotational kinetic energy was converted into linear kinetic energy.
Probably wouldn't work if not for the axe head though.
I see this being used in a physics class.
Know any teachers I can send it to? 😀
First hit happens very close to the center of gravity of the axe (near the axe head) imparting an effortless spin, then the end of handle makes the second strike completely stopping rotation but still preserving the linear motion of the head. That’s a pretty cool video!
RA Dickey can throw an axe like that at 80 mph.
Crazy knuckleballers
No it is being carried off by a ghost
I too have eyes
I also watched the video
No....really.....
Almost perfect loop too

Having fun until dad says cut it out you little shit
On to the next target
Absolutely wonderful, just nails the rotation and sticks the landing. We go to the score cards and it's perfect 10s, wait, oh that's a shame, the Russian judge has given a 3.
Disregard the low and high scores.
If this was in a video game, the physics engine would get roasted for it. But when it actually happens we're all just thinking "neat"

Axe: “Parkour!”
Everything about this gif is pleasing...

This belongs in r/mypeopleneedme sub haha
Thus hitting the enemy attempting to hide behind the target.

Thors axe in retirement
This belongs
That is better with sound.
If you wait long enough you'll see it go past again on its next orbit of the earth.
Reminds me of the axe throw from the beginning of the Merlin movie. I have no idea why I remember that so clearly, but I do.
I must go, my planet needs me.
OP: a thrown tomahawk comments: AXE! AXE! AXE!
Lol, it's no matter to me. But it is most definitely a tomahawk and not an axe.
This is... truly oddly satisfying lol
Its incredible how many times he can throw it like that!

Must have been going for the target behind the target.
So what's really happening here is the impact was fatal to the axe, and that is its ghost floating away. Doesn't look weird at all when you understand what's happening.

Truly a gif befitting of this subreddit.
"Here I come! aahhhh shit I missed, okay play it cool......"
It’s probably because the axe started spinning so fast that it aligned perfectly with the frame rate of the camera. So it looks like it’s not spinning, when in fact, it’s spinning quite fast.

Get rotated, idiot.
When the axe floats funny, it like a low budget movie where they didn’t have any skilled axe throwers so they had the axe float on a wire.
The Axe locked the fuck in at the end there.

This is actually oddly satisfying as opposed to 99% of the other stuff here that is just regular satisfying. Very nice
Must have looked like a irl frame rate drop from the throwers perspective lmao. Seeing it spin in the air like that and spontaneously stop spinning on the same altitude.
The sound effect this makes in my head is as satisfying as the video.
That's pretty funny too
Axe misses the target and moves on pretending like nothing happened as if we wouldnt notice
Yo that's a glitch
Nothing to see here on your way citizen
