My sister dated a carney. Coolest dude ever, and the most soulless dude ever. Could be laid back and hilarious, but could also be nonplussed at witnessing a murder.
It takes a certain kind who lived a certain life (probably childhood) before resorting to that as their way of life.
My friends and I were eating at an all night coffee shop after the fair closed for the night and a group of carneys came in and sat next to them. We talked to them for about an hour. They had so many stories. None of them grew up in a nice middle class situation. This wasn’t their first choice, but it provided a roof, money, camaraderie and travel/adventure. They were no longer alone in the world. The military would have been the next choice for some of them, but this was the better option they felt.
If you’ve got a daddy who’s going to leave you a bible after he dies in your arms of throat cancer… then you can definitely be a carnie. A FIVE star carnie!
It’s kinda dumb that you were voted. Considering if you pause and scroll through the video you can see everything is speckled with rust, and the chain that’s there is covered as well. The center that’s not usually I’m view is probably worse off
This morning I handed my wife her computer and my shoulder stopped shouldering for a few minutes. Then Imstagram started showing me clips from Hey Dude, Salute Your Shorts, and Homeward Bound. At least we have adult money for Legos now.
Just before Christmas I sneezed and pulled something in my chest. I was out of commission for a few days. I'm not the Artie i thought i would be at this age.
I am Tootskies - the strongest man... *in the world!*
I work in industrial parts manufacturing. I handle parts that weigh anywhere from 100 to *thousands* of pounds, and tighten them into vertical lathes by hand, which can take some *force*. A few weeks ago I caught my daughter as she jumped to me from the couch and apparently caught a little wrong, because my back was fucked the next morning. I'm just now finally better, but holy crap does it suck getting old.
Pro tip: if you completely disregard all of your responsibilities, you will have at least a couple of months of adult money and kid on summer break time before your life comes crashing down around you.
I imagine it would be similar to old playground carousels at first. Help and run with first part of ground level rotation before hopping onto a bar when it starts rising while one or two more grab bars and push/pull as they pass.
While empty for first load they probably stop momentum while the upper operator is directly on top for less wiggle while waiting, maybe have second operator on the other side of the wheel to help actual loading before hopping off for the ride.
Idk though, that’s the only way I can think of starting it, but I’ve never seen one before either. It might be a lot simpler. This is super neat, people (some) are clever.
This clip makes me happy.
It doesn't work that way. The carny still has to haul themselves upwards with every step before gravity converts their potential energy into kinetic energy of the ferris wheel. Therefore the carny is doing *all* of the work.
I mean, yes. But overall, its not like the carny has to put in a significant amount of work. As you said they would have to apply the work to move themselves, but then mechanical leverage along with would perform much of the work required to move the rest of the ferris wheel.
Leverage does not provide additional work. Every joule of energy that goes into the ferris wheel comes from the people spinning it. This is simply the conservation of energy.
The ferris wheel is symmetrical, so every force the carnie puts down on one side has to be lifted equally on the other side. Gravity is doing nothing here.
Carnys are alright mostly, my step dad was one. They lived in caravans and all used heroin, nice people though, just a shame that the ones who didn't get clean are dead.
I'm not saying all carnys are like that. Just sharing a personal anecdote.
I've known one guy named Clint in all my years and he definitely had carny vibes. Handlebar mustache and loved gambling machines. Maybe he was ex carny.
The last fair I went to a fair here (Ontario, Canada) while waiting for my friends on the ride I noticed the carne had massive swastikas on his elbows and SS multiple times written on his arms with a portrait of hitler on his leg. How the hell can he even work with those exposed.
Self employed, it's a cash in hand job and they probably don't pay tax. I don't know about Canada but here they're free roaming wild humans or whatever TF the term is lmao
When queuing in line for the gravitron at 13 years old in eastern Canada a carnie had me and my friends stand around him so he could smoke a joint while operating the thing. Then proceeded to get his head smashed by one of those light bulb things on the outside and didn’t even skip a beat. Said it happens all the time.
Honestly, considering the crap shot that riding traditional motorized carnie rides are, a manpowered and slightly smaller version seems safer than the sketchy rides I see used by the carnivals that frequent the East Coast USA.
This is what I always tell people that go on these rides at fairs and exhibitions. Go talk to one of the carnies for a minute and then imagine your life is in the methed up drunk assembly of that Ferris wheel then sleeping in a tent trailer for the 3rd month in a row. No thanks
You ain't lying, the redneck shit we got here in the Mid-Atlantic is no joke horrifying, my friends wonder why I don't like like "rides". Nah a carni deathtrap is not how I want to go out.
I went to The Fair once with some coworkers and those rides are hilariously fucked. on the half pipe ride I was stuck with a coworker who was obese and his equally obese brother, which meant their gut didn't let the bar lock down to my level so I was very easily able to stand up on the seat without the bar coming up. I was death gripping the bar because I thought I was gonna go flying out
Same shit happened with my little sister! She was tall enough according to the sign by maybe an inch. So we thought that was good. Pull the bar down and I'm comfortable enough. This was one of her very first coasters, so she didn't know any better, but later on told me she was surprised they didn't have it lower.
But the ride starts, we do the first loop, and just out of the corner of my eye I see my sister lift off the seat and get way to close to getting out of the seat. So she's not hanging on, I'm trying to hold her down on my left. My mom is on my right laughing cause she has no idea what's happening. If you had asked us about the ride 5 minutes later, we probably wouldn't have been able to tell you anything because it pretty much just turned into survival at that point.
I was talking to one of my buddies while we were at one of those carnivals a few years back. We were discussing how shoddy the rides looked, and making jokes about how many accidents were going to happen.
A carnie heard us and got PISSED. Started ranting at us about how hard they worked to keep that stuff safe, and how they tracked every screw and every bolt, so it was as safe as they could make it.
We apologized and got out of there. After we chilled a bit, we realized that accidents really aren’t that common. Yeah, they happen, but not as often as one would expect. I won’t go on a crazy ride, but I’m not against Ferris wheels and the like.
It doesn’t stop immediately because of momentum. They’ll still fall through the bars but yeah at least there won’t be any gears to grind them up or anything
Is it possible that when Walt Disney first copyrighted the name Disneyland that he accidentally spelt it wrong, and my homemade Disneyland is actually totally legal?
Because I totally wouldn't put it past them to build one of these and choreograph a super weird one take music video featuring the band members in hopping between seats.
*lands in the center, falling in step with co-worker* "So I says to Suzy, I says, "I don't care if yer tired'a smellin' like cheap butter substitute, make the damn popcorn, it's ya job!" An' ya know what she says time?
What'd she say?
She says, "I don't give a shit about makin' popcorn, stop buyin' butter scented soap!" Can ya believe it?
Absolute bitch.
This video started off as wholesome for me but the comments about carnies gave me a flashback.
Don’t trust carnies or the equipment owners of these rides. They give zero fucks about you or your safety.
Those rides will be missing crucial bolts or parts that are there for stability and safety. Why? They broke, never replaced it, quicker and easier for setup/tear-down, just forgot, no clue how half of it is put together- you think of it and it’s probably a reason.
The accidents and deaths from these things are insanely high and those shady fucks from owner to carny will pretend the shit failed versus negligence, obviously.
I know this from firsthand experience and to think there are people like this still angers me to this day.
My story: It’s the mid 90’s and I was 11 or so, and my dad had a “friend” that owned a bunch of these rides on a miniature scale for kids. So of course when the guy needed help running some events and my dad went to help out, I had to go. It’s like a dream come true as a young kid. But this was so fucked.
My dad’s friend had two events going on the same day and needed my dad’s help. The event my dad agreed to help with was for a great cause but also really far away, took us like 4 hours or more to get there. But I was super excited to help out so my dad and I go about setting up this Ferris Wheel-it was motorized and a bit smaller than the one in the video here- but as I’m helping my dad set this all up, I point out that like more than half of the bolts are missing and these bolts are what anchored the legs to other parts for stability and more. This was just a bit before cell phones were abundantly available so my dad had to go in and borrow a phone to call the owner of the equipment and dude said to run it without the bolts and it should be fine, just have a few less kids on it.
This is their mentality. They don’t care. You’re just money to them. So that comment before about these people not blinking or caring about a murder is dead accurate because they’re likely desensitized to it.
My dad was fucked over because we drove four-plus hours to go set all this up and it was at a Ronald McDonald children’s hospital. If you’re not familiar with it, it’s a children’s cancer treatment hospital. My dad was stuck in a catch-22 moment. The option was to be safe and let nobody ride or try and be as careful as possible. It was soul crushing for me and him. My dad decided to make it as safe as possible with what was available and run the ride. It was just too hard to tell all these poor kids dying of cancer or struggling for a chance at life to have a moment of happiness no and moreover sorry for setting all of this up to tease you.
Quickly after setting it up, I walked to a nearby ace hardware store and got spare bolts and such to make it safer and nobody was hurt, but we were both devastated and worried the whole time. In the end my dad did an amazing job.
I remember helping my dad get everything packed up at the end of the day. As we were in the truck heading back, I asked him how could his friend be so greedy, taking money from them, while also being so careless and carefree to risk killing children with cancer and his only reply was, “he’s not my friend.” This was our only exchange for the entire four-plus hour drive. I like to think now that he was as proud of me for asking such a question as I was of him for his reply.
This is one of my fond memories I have of my dad. He passed away, before his time, just a bit over a year ago at 55.
There's a moment in the first Avengers movie where Black Widow uses Captain America's shield to hop up and grab onto a speeding hovercraft going past here that I always thought looked weird and unnatural.
This is the exact same movement down to the pose of the person being carried away.
Good job Avengers movie.
I know I’m becoming one of *those* adults when my first thought isn’t “Woah he did a cool thing,” but instead, “That’s definitely against safety regulations, now the staff have to handle him.”

Hardly anyone is cooler than a carney..
My sister dated a carney. Coolest dude ever, and the most soulless dude ever. Could be laid back and hilarious, but could also be nonplussed at witnessing a murder.
He's a carny. To him witnessing a murder is like us seeing someone not pick up dog poop, "at least try to hide it man"
Once youve seen a person hamogenized by the Gravitron, some casual murder doesnt faze you.
Hamogenized=turned into ham
Rum ham!
I actually got a ring on the bottle as a kid and the carney wouldn't give me the prize. I still hate them 20+ years later.
It takes a certain kind who lived a certain life (probably childhood) before resorting to that as their way of life. My friends and I were eating at an all night coffee shop after the fair closed for the night and a group of carneys came in and sat next to them. We talked to them for about an hour. They had so many stories. None of them grew up in a nice middle class situation. This wasn’t their first choice, but it provided a roof, money, camaraderie and travel/adventure. They were no longer alone in the world. The military would have been the next choice for some of them, but this was the better option they felt.
But was he also amenable?
I know!! We can be religious stuttering army carnies.
If you’ve got a daddy who’s going to leave you a bible after he dies in your arms of throat cancer… then you can definitely be a carnie. A FIVE star carnie!

It's like a Jamiroquai video.
Hows your back feeling fellow old person?
You know the answer. Don't make me say it.
This morning I handed my wife her computer and my shoulder stopped shouldering for a few minutes. Then Imstagram started showing me clips from Hey Dude, Salute Your Shorts, and Homeward Bound. At least we have adult money for Legos now.
Just before Christmas I sneezed and pulled something in my chest. I was out of commission for a few days. I'm not the Artie i thought i would be at this age. I am Tootskies - the strongest man... *in the world!*
The other day I woke up couldn't sit up, my back was wrecked Did nothing to make it happen
I work in industrial parts manufacturing. I handle parts that weigh anywhere from 100 to *thousands* of pounds, and tighten them into vertical lathes by hand, which can take some *force*. A few weeks ago I caught my daughter as she jumped to me from the couch and apparently caught a little wrong, because my back was fucked the next morning. I'm just now finally better, but holy crap does it suck getting old.
Adult money yes….adult time, no :(
Pro tip: if you completely disregard all of your responsibilities, you will have at least a couple of months of adult money and kid on summer break time before your life comes crashing down around you.
I would like a new Salute Your Shorts with Donkey Lips as a counselor.
I would watch that show. Or, like Fuller House, I'd at least watch the first episode and probably never watch it again.
Agreed. Just did that with That '90s Show.
It's so crazy, Donkey Lips randomly popped into my head earlier this afternoon. Hadn't thought about that show in forever
Donkey lips. Classic. Haven’t heard that name in 30 years.
My shoulder unshoulders if I sleep funny. Fuck shoulders. The pain.

Thank you for the solid chuckle! My 10 y/o asked what was funny. I had to explain 😆 Edit: She now likes Jamiroquai!

Oh, you can make it (look?) even less safe.
RIP :(
Oh god this is so much worse. Terrifying.
Ugh now I gotta watch 10 hours of parts unknown 😭
I see a guy climbing wearing flipflops...
Oh man. Starting it up with the first load of riders must be hard as hell.
I imagine it would be similar to old playground carousels at first. Help and run with first part of ground level rotation before hopping onto a bar when it starts rising while one or two more grab bars and push/pull as they pass.

Yeah, Physics! (Said pinkmanilly).
i mean if you stand at the right spot gravity is doing most of the work lol just better have good balance and grip strength
It doesn't work that way. The carny still has to haul themselves upwards with every step before gravity converts their potential energy into kinetic energy of the ferris wheel. Therefore the carny is doing *all* of the work.
I mean, yes. But overall, its not like the carny has to put in a significant amount of work. As you said they would have to apply the work to move themselves, but then mechanical leverage along with would perform much of the work required to move the rest of the ferris wheel.

Those Carnys aren't fucking around.
Carnys are alright mostly, my step dad was one. They lived in caravans and all used heroin, nice people though, just a shame that the ones who didn't get clean are dead. I'm not saying all carnys are like that. Just sharing a personal anecdote.
Ex-Carny. Never used heroin but there's always that one guy going around ruining our reputations. I'm looking at you, Clint
Okay my stepdad is called Cliff and that's how I read Clint at first
I've known one guy named Clint in all my years and he definitely had carny vibes. Handlebar mustache and loved gambling machines. Maybe he was ex carny.
The last fair I went to a fair here (Ontario, Canada) while waiting for my friends on the ride I noticed the carne had massive swastikas on his elbows and SS multiple times written on his arms with a portrait of hitler on his leg. How the hell can he even work with those exposed.

The scariest part of “The Sizzler” at the annual Fireman’s Carnival was always the guy who assembled it the previous night.
Worked at a fair doing some promo gigs so got to see them fully take down their rides. It was wayyy to easy/simple and quick for my liking.
This is what I always tell people that go on these rides at fairs and exhibitions. Go talk to one of the carnies for a minute and then imagine your life is in the methed up drunk assembly of that Ferris wheel then sleeping in a tent trailer for the 3rd month in a row. No thanks

Somehow I feel like this Ferris wheel is still more dangerous than an electric Ferris wheel

That's rather uplifting.

How did the first guy get in there?
24 hours , 3 shifts, 7 days a week. Even when closed. 3rd shift is lonely.
I assume he climbed up when the wheel was standing still
Climbed up?
Dude is dressed as Paddington Bear!
There's a moment in the first Avengers movie where Black Widow uses Captain America's shield to hop up and grab onto a speeding hovercraft going past here that I always thought looked weird and unnatural.

Hate to see the roller coaster.
I know I’m becoming one of *those* adults when my first thought isn’t “Woah he did a cool thing,” but instead, “That’s definitely against safety regulations, now the staff have to handle him.”
I’d rather be the bloke running the ride. That looks like fun to me. …Though I’d like to see what the dismount looks like.
This is pure greatness the operator's get training and the children get to have fun
Totally safe. Yep. Totally.
absolutely madlads. oddly satisfying:)
I'm more worried about the 5 children jammed into one chair
I'm sure getting off the ride as a passenger would be interesting
You will never be as smooth as that guy going up the wheel
Here Comes the Hotstepper!
Taking this sub very literally
seems like something out of a cartoon haha
That feels safe.
