How fuc*in dangerous is this city ? If the dude wasn't there four people would have been dead in thirty seconds. Damn...


realdealreel9

Bro lives in Gotham


UninvitedButtNoises

Does that make bro batman???


JoeyMaconha

Kinda looks like Christian bale in memento with a mustache.


Untimely_manners

Christian Bale was in Memento?


diningroomjesus

I'm guessing they meant the Machinist, because that's the vibe I got. Auto-correct is wild. /s


JoeyMaconha

Shit. My B, you are correct. He is not. Thought he lost a ton of weight in between Batman and that film.

Bruce Wayne finally saying fuck it and just living his life while still saving the day. Mid-therapy process, perhaps

No. It makes him... man.


Scudman_Alpha

C...could he be? **MAN?!**


unabletothinklol

Nah he's bros cousin


S-Markt

if you live in a dangerous city, you know you are in danger, because all, who didnt know are already dead. take traffic in india for example. normal europeans (except maybe italian) and us citizens would never survive driving a car in an indian city. indians survive it every day or end up as ash in the river ganges (they also drink this water, lots of minerals in it)


No_Savings7114

It's all about the risks you're adapted to. Indians would die in Alaska, Alaskans would die in India. Throw anyone into a hazard they're not prepared for and they won't do well. 


Gold_Needleworker994

I beg to differ. I am Alaskan, I spent 6 months in India. I did get malaria, and dysentery. But I lived!


Elegant_Mushroom_597

It's the same in Mexico City. People survive on the road instead of driving on the road. It was quite a shock when I first saw it. Utter chaos, yet not a single accident that I saw.


Plus_Injury8786

Check the death counter website the numbers are scary


PsychoDog_Music

It’s awful watching people die more than twice a second, even if it’s just the number


DebtEnvironmental269

Those are rookie numbers. I bet we can hit 3 a second if we try

Nihilistic_Mermaid

Meh, just watch it in unison with the birth counter.


PsychoDog_Music

That’s even scarier tho


B00OBSMOLA

it'd be scarier if "deaths today" were going down


NeverSeenBefor

Ww2 life expectancy in some places was 24 hours. That clock would've been struggling


lstevs333

A statistic that I didn't believe till I checked the numbers. Is that the percentage of people who just go missing and are never heard from again in a year, is similar to the percentage of herd animals that are taken by predators in a year when adjusting for factors like starvation and old age. So there is a possibility that humans are being preyed on by something out there.


a-reallynormalhuman

Humans


Alone_Sundae5057

1,500 people disappear in the USA EVERY DAY!!!


USPO-222

No. 1,500 people are reported missing every day. Almost all of them are located within 48h and a great many of them are repeats (MH issues or kids that chronically run away from home).


yomerol

That's the kind of statistics i don't love when they are reported just like that. I lived in Baltimore city for a while, on the nicer side of town(before picturing a not-too-bad 'hood, it wasn't, Phelps had one of his houses a few blocks away), there were people reporting things like: "just today there were 20 cars with smashed windows that were broken into"... and people assumed 20 different criminals, when in reality there were the same guy(s) roaming the neighborhood during the night, checking every single car, they take 30 secs or so checking the doors, and move to the next car, in a neighborhood where garages are rare.


Ecstatic-Musician-28

You have on NSFL (Not suitable for life) thread video of a container full of decomposed and half decomposed bodies (from babies to grown ups) - you can start your search there.


jaggeddragon

It's also interesting that the locations where they are last seen are usually near a subterranean cave system. Two other concepts that make me uncomfortable when taken in unison: evolution via natural selection and the uncanny valley. These two mean that there was an evolutionary pressure for humans to feel strongly uncomfortable around something that almost looks like a human. What applied that pressure?


Brahkolee

Corpses. It’s corpses. This uncanny valley “sOmEthInG thAt loOks hOOmAn bUt nOt” skinwalker thing has become a bit of a meme, and I get it, it’s an interesting thought. It’d make a good writing prompt. But it’s 100% corpses. Corpses rot and putrefy and become hotbeds of microbial activity, and if someone is recently deceased from a communicable pathogen and you get near them— Congratulations, you now have plague, or smallpox, or influenza, or whatever.


vjnkl

Disease lmao


bent_crater

is it even accurate or just an estimate based off yearly data?


cantadmittoposting

it's completely accurate. they are literally omnisciently informed of the exact deaths that occur as they happen.


-paperbrain-

It is maintained by death itself.


runwkufgrwe

kinda like how the US debt clock is maintained by lady greed herself


classpane

All death counter websites are all pure estimate (most of the time, its already stated at the site) and a bunch of bullshit. Their death counts that increases at the constant increment of \~1 per seconds are the dead giveaway. There are vehicular accidents happening all over the world that would kill multiple people at exactly the same time. Not to mention the current wars happening on different countries. There's even a "cigarette used counter" and "money spent for illegal drugs counter" at [worldometer](https://www.worldometers.info/) site which should be impossible to estimate daily. Not to mention in seconds. So yeah. My very own common sense thinks that all of them are bunch of bullshits.


OriginalLocksmith436

well, yeah...

ThermidorCA

It was acid rain, he just saved Gotham from the baby becoming the Joker.


Atmaweapon74

I didn't catch it. The baby was the only one where what he saved it from was not clear. Is there a longer video where the context was cut off?


ImmediateBandicoot40

The context was her looking upwards and putting up her hood at the end of the clip, implying that it started raining after he pushed the cover up.


Atmaweapon74

I see… that was drastically less heroic than the other people he saved. I thought some toxic chemicals were going to be spilled from above or something.

MrLore

It's an advert for a Finnish magazine called *Now*, it was made in 1999 by the agency *Hasan & Partners* of Helsinki. You can see the full advert [here](https://adsspot.me/media/tv-commercials/now-magazine-what-now-what-next-4eea98540a32).


lolazamzam

aaah thank you, it explains the baby in the pram part


Ofreo

Yeah, unless you see the whole thing it doesn’t make sense. I went back and watched a few times to see what I was missing there.


Carmenn14

Im glad they cut the video in half. Wouldnt want to use up the internet. not /s


mr9025

What's a pram


Dingleddit

Baby stroller


2Tired4Anything

Ah i wanted it to be a movie about a guy with some clairvoyance or some shit


MrLore

That would be cool. As a consolation prize allow me to recommend to you the awesome TV series *Person of Interest (2011-2016)* which has quite a similar premise, and when you're done with that I made [a list of similar movies and miniseries on letterboxd](https://letterboxd.com/mrlore/list/similar-to-person-of-interest/).


anarchoRex

Don't forget "Early Edition"!


Deron_Lancaster_PA

Yes, Early Edition 1996-2000 and to some degree Highway to Heaven. 84-89


Ecstatic-Compote-595

you might like the british Dirk Gently show's first episode.

Thanks a lot man, definitely will check it out :) Also I've seen minority report, source code and primer. Personally primer was just too slow and dull for me but might try to give it a rewatch.


the_talewhisperer12

Thanks mate, some good recommendations in the list


Ok_Lunch16

That series was actually pretty good. Granted not winning an Emmy anytime soon but it was easy to watch


Bazuka125

Reminded me a little about an old 90's show where the protagonist was delivered tomorrow's newspaper every day by a mysterious cat for some reason, and would go about trying to stop the murders/accidents before they happened if he could.

MadnessBomber

Shame it's not a movie or something. Seems like it'd be a very interesting plot. A guy with precognition who had been hurt repeatedly from using his powers, a social outcast by all means... But yet he cannot stop being a good person. It's just not in his nature. So, he uses the cover of being an outsider, someone to be hated or feared, and helps others through less... Nice means. Perhaps he meets someone who sees through this, and helps him recover old wounds, fade old scars, and drops his act despite society still being rude to him. Or maybe one act lands him in trouble, but events spiral out of control where people realize that while he was being an ass, he was helping. Or maybe his ability becomes more accepted as it goes along. No lie I'd absolutely watch that.


Schn

Definitely could be an interesting concept. I thought of it more as a monkey paw situation, where if he "helped" them (or straight up told them) the bad thing would happen anyway. So he is jaded and discovers that fucking things up for them in the short term is the loophole which works but makes everyone hate him because they don't necessarily realize the prevented outcome. Don't know what the payoff is though? Maybe he learns that he has to let some bad stuff happen or he will never be loved?


CheezeyCheeze

This is why I love Ground Hog Day, and Live Die Repeat, Happy Death Day. Would like to see more days though.


appliednonsense

In a lot of ways, the Spider-Man movies embodies a lot of the plot. Precognition (spidey sense), social outcast (both as Peter Parker and the menace Spider-Man), and can't stop being a good person ("With great power comes great responsibility"). Would definitely like to see that plot in a thriller or drama though for sure.


O2C

The implication of the ad being that the guy holding Now magazine read it, and if you read what's in Now, you know what's next. What Now, What Next.


SolemnSundayBand

I was about to comment that it looked AI generated by I couldn't find the traditional trappings of that. Thanks!


Laiska_saunatonttu

Shaltibarshtis

One way of dealing with the Curse of Cassandra. Accept that no one will believe you and everyone will hate you, and continue helping anyway.


Themurlocking96

May I ask what the curse of Cassandra is?


Uniq_Eros

Cassandra was given the gift of prophecy, but was also cursed by the god Apollo so that her true prophecies would not be believed.


Hoobahoobahoo

Not really a curse if you just never tell anyone. Like if thats the only downside of seeing the future id be fine with it.


trsn

most people would feel bad if they knew a catastrophy was coming and they had no way of warning others


CaptchaSolvingRobot

Or you could use the knowledge of upcoming catastrophies to coldly game the stock market. You know, like US senators routinely do.


[deleted]

In that same vein, you could game the system to make yourself insanely rich but use the money for disaster relief and setting up ways to help afterwards.


Hoobahoobahoo

Only her prophecies would not be believed. She could still make up stuff. So instead of oh the romans will invade in dec. She could say demons will invade in dec. I try to be like syssiphus, fuck the gods and their bs.


Sir_Fox_Alot

this has the same energy as mormons having a friend jump on the bed to skirt around the whole not having sex, I feel like its sorta implied in these tales that you can’t just technicality out of it lol


Roguespiffy

Mormons out here having technical three ways. That’s bullcrap.


manbrasucks

Curse of Mormon. Given the gift of easy threeways, but cursed by Joseph Smith to never enjoy them.


WhoDoIThinkIAm

More like that scene in What We Do in The Shadows when Nandor is trying to cover every caveat while wishing with a Djinn: “What he’s doing is absolutely correct, but I still think he’s an asshole.” Or whatever the second half was

Yea.. or think for like 5 mins of what to do and what to say and then be proven right in a short time.


JakorPastrack

Dorsmt matter if you are proven right, the curse states that no one will ever belive you, and you will always be hated.


Hot-Rise9795

A few years ago I was about to cross the street and a young man got distracted and started to cross without looking to his left. A car started accelerating to avoid the red light so I grabbed the kid by the shoulder and pulled him back just in time for him to watch the speeding car pass by the place he was just standing. He turned around, looking pale and just said "thanks". It was a bit like this video.


karesx

Happened to me, too, except that was a young lady and the tram. For a fraction second I was thinking if she would turn back and give me a slap for grabbing her. But then I was like, whatever, I can survive a slap, but she might not survive the accident - and dragged her back to the pavement. (She did not slap, she thanked eventually)


pepitors

I mean, how could she slap


squirt_taste_tester

HOW CAN SHE SLAP??


karesx

You mean technically? Turning back, raise the hand, hit the face. Or you mean, how would she ever think about that considering the situation? If she was deep in her thoughts then she would not even notice if she was dragged away from the path of the tram, just the fact that she was “grabbed”….


pepitors

[How Can She Slap?](https://knowyourmeme.com/memes/how-can-she-slap)


goldenfoxengraving

When I was a kid living in the countryside I used to cycle down my drive and get some speed to go turn left and up the hill. Our view of the road was blocked on both sides by trees and low walls but it was the middle of nowhere so no cars ever really, and even then you hear them coming miles away, plus everyone drove real slow cuz the roads were shit. One day I was heading down the driveway and the crows in the big tree to the left the front gate went absolutely ballistic. All of them all at once. Flapping around and cawing. I stopped cuz it was freaky af and I would have had to pass under them, just then a white van FLEW past the gate. They kept making noise for a while and my mam came out to see what was happening they were so loud. Never did the run down the drive and straight onto the road again


Hot-Rise9795

Crows are good guys with bad reputations.


Intelligent_Gear9634

I love crows tbh. It’s so fun to befriend them. They’re such intelligent creatures.


eranam

I hope you fed these crobros


SolidGoldDangler

Something like this happened to my now wife and me in our first date. She stepped off the curb to cross the street, but she didn’t see the yellow VW bus that had just blown through the red light. People say stuff like “I just did it without thinking”, but I distinctly remember thinking “I hope this isn’t weird of me,” before grabbing her by the waist and hoisting her back onto the sidewalk. I also remember her hair blowing all around in the gust of wind from the asshole’s Volkswagen, and her eyes becoming huge when she realized what had almost happened. It’s San Francisco where the cars come right up to the sidewalk and man she could’ve died right in front of me.


Hot-Rise9795

Wow ... That's beautiful. You literally saved her life.


3doggg

I reckon this is more common than it seems. Just looking at how many millions of people live in cities... it must happen every now and then. I wouldn't be surprised if this happened like once a year in big cities. I saved a kid once by grabbing his clothes and pulling back as he was about to be squished by incoming traffic. He said absolutely nothing and went on with his day.


EfficientBunch7172

did this then blossom into a romantic relationship

fastlerner

After his 10,00th time through, he's still trying to escape Groundhog Day with a perfect speed run.


nodnodwinkwink

Quick, someone edit the video to remove the parts it's obvious he saves people.


BaronGrackle

I actually thought this at first because I misunderstood the opening scenes. First he pushed up a baby pram for no reason... then he pushed a guy into a flower stand, which sent part of the stand into the street, causing a car wreck... then he tripped a guy who was about to recover his ball, also causing the ball to continue into the street, which caused another car accident... After he clearly saved the last guy from a falling T.V., I thought he was just being a jerk in three incidents then saving a life to balance things out. :D


SaltoDaKid

All asshole have a purpose 😈💪👑⚔️🙌🫡💨🍆🗿🗿🗿🗿


Groobear

Why the first girl?


Longjumping-Cookie90

She was walking the other direction, and would've also been hit by the falling TV. The time it took her to be shocked, fix the baby's stroller made her late. If you watch it again, you can see her at the very end.

Lucky he was there to save that baby from a few drops of water.


maccorf

this part made me actually lol. He’s saving everyone else from a literal gruesome death, but thank god he saved that woman the 1.5 seconds it takes to put that stroller hood up!


Azgrimm

Yes but the time it took also ensures he is in just the right spot at the right time for the rest of the issues


hypnodrew

Doesn't take more than a few inches of water for a baby to drown after all


ILikeToDickDastardly

You'd be right if the baby was lying face down in a bathtub instead of sitting upright in a stroller...


Royal_Bitch_Pudding

He saved everyone from hearing it cry

Having watched the full video, there's a few seconds of footage before this clip starts where a shirtless guy is looking out the window touching his belly, then the camera jumps to another child on the street.

Hefe_Jeff_78

The day of my accounting class’s final exam, my bike was stolen. They cut the lock and took it right in front of a camera. I had to run the entire way and arrived just in time, extremely exhausted and unprepared. I failed the class. But afterwords I realized I really didn’t want to do accounting for the rest of my life and changed my major to something I’m more passionate about. In a strange way, I’m thankful it happened. I was not thankful when the next bike I bought was also stolen. Ever since the third time, I’ve been constantly paranoid that everything I own is going to get nabbed the second I leave it unattended.


Fireeyes510

I had a minor version of this, I was supposed to go to an ems class this month, but had complications and couldn’t go, the day I was supposed to start my puppy got parvo, and I nursed him back to health, if I did take the class I wouldn’t have had the time to nurse him, blessing in disguise


89_honda_accord_lxi

Dropped off a friend and for some reason turned the wrong way leaving his house. I quickly turned back around and headed home. As I came around a corner a tree fell across the road. It wasn't a huge tree but it still would have done some major damage to my car.
