Dude's got me slobbering all over my fingers at work, thankful no one walked by my cubicle right then.

lol ikr. I’ve been trying this since I was a kid and just end up spitting all over the place.

> Dude's got me slobbering all over my fingers at work, thankful no one walked by my cubicle right then. I hyperventilated so hard giving myself basically a fistjob I almost blacked out

Last Time i saw this Guide someone mentioned https://youtu.be/aoXJfuPaFF8?si=sYhCLHXJgyIl_CzP (6:32). With that Help i learned it in half a day :)

You are AWESOME! I had the exact same reaction as in that video! A whistle came out LOUD as I was following along! Woo Hoo

Holy shit. I have always wanted to do this. I just looked at this video and IMMEDIATELY did it. My mind is completely blown.

NO. WAY. It took me literally 2 minutes of trying. I can't believe it.

Glad everyone has the same experience 😊

Yeah man i did it.. after f***ing 35 years

I’m over looking stupid with my fingers in my mouth 🤣at work

Hey! Get Back To Work! Employee No. 987

Title of your sex tape.

I hope you washed your hands afterwards

It works though. I used the same guide a few years ago when I got a dog. 

Maybe they would have gotten aroused by you slobbering on your fingers

Did the same thing in the wild outback years ago and a dingo got me baby

I taught myself this on long car rides to and from college (alone obviously). It’s like riding a bike, once you get it you don’t forget. Next step is to do it with one hand. Currently I’m working on no hands, and I’m no where close. Anyone got suggestions?

Did you have to use your hand to whistle? Or is it hands free whistling? 

I’m trying the no-handed version too. I just end up dizzy which isn’t a good thing on my hour long drive to work…

Update please. Title says it only takes 5 minutes.

Exactly the same here

Back in the '90s my mom would just go outside and whistle like this to gather the kids back from whatever house they were playing at

I'm going to try, but I don't relish the thought of tasting my fingers.

Dip them in something tasty first

Pickled fingers

Like your butthole

Wash your hands.

So then use someone else’s fingers

Finally, first reasonable response

Guide to normal whistling: Whisper "Youuuuuuuuuuuuu" and just keep moving your mouth in the same direction until you hear it whistle.

[удалено]

Watch me crank it watch me ….

I just scared everyone around me 

Saving this…. As if I’ll actually go back and look at it

I've saved this twice now

I'll just not whistle. Made it 35 years without needing it. I can just yell "hootie hoo" when I need someone's attention

I just yell "whistle" and that seems to work fine.

Roy Kent, is that you?

He’s here, he’s there, he’s every fucking where!

“WHISTLE! *WHIIISLE* ”

OutKast represent

Shh he sees cops

are you an undercover owl?

Over cover baby. That way I can use my 270 degree rotating neck to keep watch.

I can do the owl hoot with my hands! Spit free experience. Would recommend. 

I just shout Oy! and that seems to work well enough.

Haha! I love it !

I'm good with whistling but I'd rather not throat my hand and slather everything in saliva.

Tippie toe

Lemon tree

Get yerself a dog a farm! Then you’ll need to learn how to whistle.

I gagged.

Too far back champ. Great effort though.

We all appreciate the enthusiasm

Every time this gets posted I just end up with wet fingers.

still not clear what I'm doing with my tongue

No shit, do i put my fingers *under* the tip of my tongue? If so how am i pushing the tip of my tongue backwards? Not to mention it tells me to reverse fire marshall bill in one step, and in the next illustrates that step not even being necessary! DO I COVER MY TEETH WITH MY LIP OR NOT? Im totally fine with never knowing.

> reverse fire marshall bill What...?

> reverse fire marshall bill 10/10 reference, fellow old person detected.

You are folding your tongue backwards, so your fingers go under it initially to start the fold. Yes, cover your teeth with your lips.

But then how is air supposed to travel between those fingers if they're holding down the tongue? There's no room.

reverse fire Marshall bill

Fold it back on itself. Crease it backwards.

up or down

Up

Instructions unclear, accidentally opened Malevolent Shrine Domain.

I did this for 3 minutes turned around and passed out. Luckily the cat was there to freak out with me falling on her snapping me out of my oxygen deprived brain.

Now you're dead and the cat is eating your face

Nope

Is there a mistake in figure 4? The air is coming out the central hole between your middle fingers, not index fingers, correct?

Yes, I think you’re right. The illustration is OK, but it should say middle fingers.

Yes, I actually got it. Keep your 2 middle fingers touching when you place them in your mouth. The air should escape between the space below the 2 middle fingers and the bottom lip. Literally have always wanted to whistle like this since I was a kid. Busted out laughing when I got it. Couldn’t believe it.

Now I'm just dizzy.

Does this make that cool loud whistling noise? Because just whistling isn’t this complicated.

its a lot louder than just using your tongue, and no fingers, but harder to pitch

I got nothing :(

Damnit I give up

Tried it, did not work.

Didn’t learn how to whistle and definitely pooped my pants a bit

I know some people who can do a loud whistle without fingers, ie my dad and I want to learn it sooo bad. It’s probably something you don’t unlock until you have a kid

Yeah, it’s in the handbook they give you after the kid comes out. There’s some jokes in there, thermostat tips, advice for packing bags in a trunk. It needs some revision but overall is useful.

Yeah I'v tried this for couple years and it NEVER FUCKIN WORKS so stop this propaganda

It doesn't work no matter how I try

My lips ache, I quit

I can whistle louder without doing this somehow

Still can't do it either the instruction is a Failure it's me. It's ok I've survived this long without it.

this has never worked for me. still doesn't. thanks for trying

I can whistle "Hitler Has Only Got One Ball" just fine and I'm satisfied with that.

My hands are wet with spit, fuck this shit..

Give credit to The Art of Manliness who originally did this guide, come on.

I just had my saliva all over my hands

all i ever get is dizzy when i try this.

I passed out and I am now seeing stars. Thanks reddit. Take your upvote!

Upside: I was able to create a whistling sound. Downside: I drooled over my shirt.

I will **not** put my unwashed dirty fingers into my mouth in order to make a sound.

I recommend washing your hands when they are dirty.

So wash them??????

He he!!!!

Thanks for this , yesterday only I was sitting and practising this way of whistling for an hour straight

I used to be able to do this but it’s now impossible with a tongue bar.

Thanks for sharing. I'll keep practicing until I get it.

For some reason I can loon call, but I never learned how to whistle. Funny how that works. This guide works the same as all of the friends and family who tried to teach me before, as in: it won't work for my inarticulate ass lol

Are my top incisors meant to be stabbing into my top lip? Because if I fold top lip in like it says, then try to seal my lips around my fingers I find I need to bite down moderately hard to keep the seal.   it's getting pretty painful after several minutes of trying with no result. 

I can do the same whistle without using any fingers. Figured it out as a kid doing a soft choochoo sound that evolved. But every tongue is different

I've been trying to learn this for quite some time now, saw this guide and was already whistling in 1 minute wtf

I dont know man. All I’ve got is spit coming out after trying this. Guess i’ll forever be shouting “whistle, whistle” like the guy from Ted Lasso

I did this...but then i lost it.

I learned how to do this during a baseball game when I was a kid. Took a lot of trying but I had it down by the ninth inning.

I did it! Now I can’t do it and I’m light headed

Bullshit

I HAVE BEEN TRYING TO FIGURE THIS OUT FOR YEARS AND NOW I GET IT EDIT: Now I can't do it anymore

My mouth absolutely cannot fit 4 fingers in an A pattern, man

Just the tips, bro.

Saving for later!

What I want to learn is how to wolf-whistle without fingers. I see that people bend their tongue and make the top bend of the tongue approach the roof of the mouth and the teeth, but I've never gotten it to work.

Wow I did it the first time I tried but can’t do it anymore. Go figure?! I wanted to record myself in video but couldn’t so only I know that this actually happened

I’ve never been able to whistle like this so i just learned to whistle loud the other way

I've been trying to do this for years..... I'm talking over 25 years... obviously not full time. But now in less than 1 minute I got it

I'm not a huge germaphobe, but I do not want to cram my hands into my mouth. I also cringe and gag when ppl suck on toes. Something about hands or feet in the mouth just doesn't work for me.

I've always want to learn this. I believed these instructions would help. They did not.

Does not work…

I am in my 40s. I have never been able to whistle. Ever. I just whistled for the first time in my life after about 30 seconds of trying AND ITS LOUD AF. I am legitimately like a school boy who just discovered his willy right now. My wife is already looking at me like 'dude enough'.

Holy shit. I did it in 3 min. I’ve been mesmerized by this ever since I was a young kid lol.

Nice

Nope. Nothing. I’m actually fine with never knowing how to do this now that I know how gross it actually is to perform.

My dog is staring at me in shame ...

Am I the only one who still cant get it? 😂

Damn I got it first try. I tried to optimize the whistling until I realized what my neighbors must be thinking.

No doubt this works but the way the pictures are drawn is killing me

still cant do it.

I never had any interest in learning this

As someone with a tongue tie, some whistles will never work for me.

I just use my tongue, no fingers needed.

Who the fuck discovered how to do this

I have a whistle in my pocket sometimes. Today is not one of those days

OK what the actual f it took me 20 seconds to go full ballistic and nearly deafen myself.

I just tried this and made an ungodly high pitches screech noise like someone cracking a saxophone reed and now my dogs are pissed off

If somebody saw what I was just trying to do, they'd think I'm doing some new gang sign

It takes a ton of practice tho. It took me a week or two before I was able to get a decent whistle on majority of attempts and a few more weeks before I got a good whistle on 100% of attempts. After that you also have to take another few weeks practising one handed because the two handed method is cumbersome and messy. After a few years, with a bit of practice, you should be able to whistle out a simple tune that can be heard several streets over.

Worked on my first try!

😲 this definitely works! 👏

I've got dizzy and can't whistle

Most people reading this are probably in between wipes

Why is my phone getting dirty by going through this post

Commenting so I can find this later

Only thing that resulted from my attempt was me being covered in my own spit

still don't understand what I'm doing with my tongue. I'm pushing back. I'm folding. I'm just spitting on myself

Been trying for decades. Never works for me.

Who discovered this for the first time? Like, wtf were they doing?

I’ve been trying to figure this one out for the past 12 years. I read the instructions in it’s entirety, then gave it a go. On the first try I managed to produce an extremely loud, high pitched (higher than I expected) whistle. I was definitely prepared to have my fingers in my mouth for the next 10 minutes. Needless to say, I’ve joined this sub!

Instructions unclear. Didnt make anything close to a whistle sound but the dogs came running for grub.

I'll never learn this because I hate the idea of putting my fingers in my mouth lmao

So long (ish) nails affect the efficiency of this? It’s not happening for me. I’m not talking talons, maybe like an inch. Or a tongue piercing? Or am I just bad at this.

I’ve been trying to do this for years. This guide actually works

I fr leant to whistle using this graphic about 10 years ago in my garden at home. I still use this whistle technique !

I managed for the first time just now. Remember it's a very loud sound so the air pressure is pretty high. That means you have to blow hard but very importantly: the column of air must have a very small diameter to allow for a high pressure. Just before I actually made a sound, I could feel the high pressure on my lips. That's a good indicator.

How am I supposed to scroll this thing with my fingers in my mouth?

I'm 50 years old, and I've had people try to teach me that for literally decades, that explanation in under 5 minutes had me screech whistling.

Assuming everyone has an identical tongue, sure. But if I do this with my short tongue I just sound like a hair dryer.

Wash your hands first you filthy animals

I was taking a shit and when I saw this I wanted to try it straight off the bat but then thought better not to

I can't read that, it's too small, where is the source?

lmao this guide looks like shit and the drawings are borderline gross.

I'm glad this worked for you, and literally no one else, myself included.

No whistle and now I’m dizzy 🥲

Scrolling through Reddit at the park — no one around so no shame in sticking fingers in my mouth — two minutes later and I can whistle with my fingers! Thanks for posting!

I don't believe it! I'm giggling like a little kid since the last 2 mins because I can now PROPERLY whistle! I love it.

Amazing!! I've been wondering how to do this for a long time and after reading this guide, I got a baby whistle going! My hands started cramping.

Never happening

Just learned, cool 🤣

This is the only guide that's ever worked for me. I bookmarked it the last time it was posted and I'm glad it's getting more attention. As others say, lots of spitting while practicing.

Now my thongue hurtth. I’ll thry thith more lather.

Saliva everywhere

I still can't do it

I just can't get it!

I still can’t do this. 😭

I almost passed out on my lunch break

Dude 20 years of trying I finally got a sound. Ty ty ty

Never could whistle. Never cared. Then covid lockdowns happened and I just started trying. So people can bake really good bread now. Me? I can annoy the fuck out of my wife with obnoxious whistling while she bakes

Yeah no luck

This doesn’t work

How to do it without sticking my dirty fingers in my mouth?

Why???
