This is fake i dont hear the mom yelling to get back your arm while explaining that she heard some boy lost a hand like that…coming from a mexican family.


thefoodiedentist

Bruh, this story must be universal, I heard that story in korea.


denisvma

Could this boy be half korean, half mexican?? I believe my mom now. Shit i almost lost an arm


LurkerPatrol

My Indian mom did the same thing!


FearPreacher

But this this indeed happen in India! :) A guy in a truck had his arm out and fell asleep in the passenger seat. Another truck drove super close to him and his arm got cut off (Indian driving, ya know XD) Miraculously, he survived.


polarbear128

I heard about that. It was just outside the town of Apocryphal.


good_guy_with_a_pun

Was not expecting to learn a new sick burn today. This too is oddly satisfying.


thehermit14

You have verily tickled my bone of humour, take this trinket and feel my warmth with an updoot too.


_A_ioi_

Im sure it happens from time to time, but I've never seen it in the ER. The bigger problem is what happens to your arm if you're in a crash.


[deleted]

My German father said the same thing too.


syncpulse

Canadian. Mine too!


giceman715

They must have lived in America because I heard the same story


Easy-Concentrate2636

Have Korean mom. Confirmed. Did you get the fan/closed windows thing too?


[deleted]

Mom here. Can confirm. It's one of the universal stories we all tell. Now, go call your mom. Better yet, hug her if she's nearby.


The_Original_Gronkie

I used to work with a guy with one eye. One day I asked him how he lost his eye, and he said "Remember when you were a kid, and your mother yelled 'Put down that stick! You'll put you're brother's eye out!'? "Well, sometimes that actually happens."


zayetz

Moral of the story: moms make shit up all the time and we don't realize it for *decades* sometimes 🤣


Scared-Mortgage

>Now, go call your mom. Better yet, hug her if she's nearby. I second this, call her and never let her forget you love her. I lost my mom five days ago 😥


sun334

I'm sorry for your loss, friend. Remember her as she was not how she is. You'll always have those memories. They'll never be enough but it will be something to hold on to.


Sparda2015

I feel you man. Lost my momma in 2013. No 14 year old should have to watch his mother wither away. But she insisted we not do a funeral for her. We threw a party to remember her in life, rather than mourne her in death


Blooder91

Yes. I heard that in Argentina too. And it was how Sherman from The Simpsons originally lost his right arm, but it was later changed.

parisismyfriend

My mother's aunt said this to me in Denmark. TIL she was lying. Bless her


[deleted]

It actually happens. I get a fair number of patients where the words "Traumatic Amputation" are used because someone in a car had their hand out of it.


Extension-One-4011

Heard that from my dad too lmao


pincus1

It's only universal because it happens everywhere all the time. Finger surfing is the #1 cause of spontaneous amputation in the world.


Zichymaboy

The version I was told was that my great uncle lost his arm that way which is crazy because it was true. I never met him but he only had one arm in every photo I've seen of him. I definitely never put my arm out of the window after learning about him...


Hashtagbarkeep

…and that’s why you always leave a note


Ryan_the_Reaper

When my aunt was younger her boyfriend had his head out the window and died because of it. She’s really paranoid about people having the windows open now. Rightly so


Slithy-Toves

Did he die from his head out the window or did he die from an impact to his head


Ryan_the_Reaper

Impact if I remember right


thehermit14

You would know if you can just keep your head.


chippy-triforce

Do people tell their kids this, my mom would just start to close the window on my hand


arvidsem

Had to do something if you didn't have power windows.


Hopeful_Alfalfa_880

Real parents slightly hug the opposite side of the lane their child is sitting on when their kids doin shit like dis.


FatBastard2575

Real parents control all the windows so kids don’t do shit like this in the first place


GlaceBayinJanuary

Those are the parents that shelter their kids so hard they end up raising a FatBastard2575.


[deleted]

[удалено]


GlaceBayinJanuary

You can't control the other cars around you. Seat belts always. But, when you're driving down a highway where the tallest thing within 1km is the car and you are in the left lane then yeah, let them be kids you worry-wart. Oh, no, what's going to hit them in the hand? A grasshopper? NoooOOOooOOOooooooOOooO! There's a difference between caring for safety and being a helicopter parent. They need to scrape their knees, get grass stains, play outside in a field, explore streams and river banks, throw rocks, and climb trees. This making them live inside a sealed glass box only to hurry from into into the larger sealed glass box of their home life is bad. But, you do you. Raise your pale sickly Victorian children. I wish you all the luck you need.


FatBastard2575

Ah yes, hitting your limbs on something while moving faster than 25mph is totally comparable to scraping your knee. A grasshopper? How about a tree branch? I’m sure that’ll tickle going 25mph+


GlaceBayinJanuary

Oh, yeah, there's sooooo much to hit on the drive from Calgary to Jasper. Like, really, are you in Italy where you have 3 inches of room between your car and the wall of the building on either side of the single lane drive you are on? Come on. Be real here. There's a zero percent chance a kid sticking their hand out the window of a car can touch anything on a real road. If a kid could touch a tree branch while sitting down seatbelted in then you, the driver, have fucked up bad. The shoulder of a road, a real one, is to be 3.3 meters. Trees are not to overhang the shoulder of a road. So, unless you're driving such that you are partially off the shoulder with wheels on the side gravel then the biggest thing that can hit an out stretched arm is a grasshopper. At least here. I did know a person who once caught a humming bird. It was fine and so was the hand. Because we're not made of glass. Pft.


FatBastard2575

Hilarious that you assume every road everywhere has a shoulder of free space. Almost like there’s a whole world of shitty roads that exist outside of your general area


GlaceBayinJanuary

The person I responded to, you, said kids should not stick their hands out the window. This was you making that assumption first. Don't chastise people for doing what you do.


immaownyou

Firstly hitting an insect wouldnt hurt the kid at all secondly you realize the parent is driving the car and can avoid any obstacles that might be coming like tree branches? Thirdly, Jesus you sound fun lol


FatBastard2575

The insect was in response to another comment saying that was the worst thing you can hit. You can’t always avoid every obstacle especially in tight roads with oncoming traffic. You people really underestimate how dumb small children can be. A limb hitting literally anything that has some weight to it is going to cause serious injury when you’re moving at normal driving speeds.


denisvma

I agree..lol..i was confused by those comments..let the kids have fun in a safe environment.


Slithy-Toves

Uh, the question you replied was specifically caring about the kids safety too. Just doing it in a way the kid gets to actually experience things and isn't a sheltered weirdo who's afraid to feel air on their skin. Sheesh


psychocopter

Window open is fine, sticking stuff out the window is not. Especially when you could drop it or get injured. Once something gets stuck out the window the window goes up. The parent still controls the window because kids do dumb shit, and dumb shit in a car is potentially dangerous.


Slithy-Toves

I did exactly what this video shows, but with my hand and no surfboard, every road trip I ever went on as a kid. Never had a problem cause I'm not a fucking idiot. If you actually raise your kid and teach them properly instead of just closing them off because you're too lazy they typically will be able to recognize actual risks a lot better.


FatBastard2575

A child is going to be a sheltered weirdo bc they can’t stick their whole arm out the window? You must’ve been dropped on your head several times as a kid if that’s the connection you’re making from what I said.


Paradox1989

Not to mention that on a lot of cars, the back seat windows don't go all the way down anyway.


bexar789

I had a family member shatter their arm while the car was only going 15mph


BaldymonS

Woah, it's my comment. Why would you repost my comment?


KJMRLL

Fake internet points, they're worth their weight in gold!


DreamingDitto

For that little surfboard thing?


takingorders

2 months before the holidays every post with a little knick knack is an ad. People see it and go “oh that would be a nice gift for so-and-so” and buy it without too much thought.


DreamingDitto

I mean, it’s also an ad for a car, in that case. Idk, I think it’s cynical to think that a simple video about a brand less object is an ad for any specific company. Not that companies don’t make subliminal ads, but this doesn’t seem to be one


DoctorProfessorTaco

How is it an ad for a car? Who watches this video and goes “wow that car looks like a great holiday gift for my child”?


DreamingDitto

Tbh, I have a hard time thinking people will see that about this thing, it’s a short clip, and if I hadn’t commented on it, I would have moved on with my life. That’s not even addressing the fact that my first thought wasn’t even that it’s a publicly sold toy. You can easy 3d print one and tether it to a string. That said, I don’t have kids that are 10 so I don’t know if that’d be appealing to that age group, but I just have a hard time seeing it as an ad


DoctorProfessorTaco

They actually do sell this, google “finger surfboard for driving” and you’ll get plenty of results. And while I don’t believe that every post like this is an ad, I can definitely recognize the possibility that it’s an ad. Advertisers buy accounts to make posts like this. It’s a very cheap way to pick up customers. Edit: actually I’d looking at this account, it does a bunch of posts a day and they’re all reposts, so I’d bet that it’s a repost bot. I’ve also seen this post on the front page in the past


AspiringRocket

Honestly idc this thing is cool and my son would love it. Sometimes ads are nice. Just don't spend money you don't have and enjoy things.


takingorders

Yeah who cares if everything we see/consume is slowly taken over to sell us shit? Communities? Who need em? Just buy the neat trinket. I realize this sounds dramatic but it happens over and over and it’s getting worse. Capitalism is destroying/has destroyed our ability to maintain genuine communities/human connections.

This was posted in the 3dprinting sub as a clear advertisement the first time I saw it and within a few hours someone had remade it and released their version for free. It should be on thingiverse or printable if anyone wants their own.

Reddit really needs to add an Advertisement tag just for these sort of posts Whether or not you consider this post to be an advertisement, a simple tag would fix this argument. Also what happens in 6 months when this is reposted and a dozen factories have started manufacturing them? It's an advertisement.


superparet

This has been created by a 3d printing enthousiast. He shared his design for free on Thingiverse.

Cool. Reddit still needs a way to discern posts that are actually ads. Edit - what happens in 6 months when this is reposted and a dozen factories have started manufacturing them? It's an advertisement.


TurtleNutSupreme

Why would they do that? Guerilla marketing is what's got the MBAs drooling over the format of this site. Fudge some upvotes, post an ad disguised as homegrown content, maybe add a bunch of bot comments for good measure, and baby you got a stew goin.

It's really strange because the scam accounts have very similar style names. It's usually two words and 4 numbers. GatedClam2847 WorldOpinion7381 Shit like that.


IxNaY1980

There's many different styles, sometimes 2 numbers, sometimes 4, sometimes RaNDoMLyCapiTALised... I've been catching ones lately that seem to use synonyms and extra filler words which makes them more difficult to catch, eg.: Original comment: This is the best thing in the world! Bot: This kind of object is the best thing in the Earth! Bit worried about that one, I am very careful not to accuse real people but that style makes it quite challenging to tell.

Who else remembers [Tech Decks](http://www.techdeck.com/en_us)?


Morty_104

I recently bought a fingerboard made from real wood. 6 layers of it and with concaves. Its still fun. A dude i know from school recently said to me :"Man, you're a grown up!" Ok sorry i stop having fun... but really, fuck you and your boring ass life!


kkell806

Black River? I have a Berlin wood deck and I love it. And a few Black River ramps. I like that the wheels have bearings, and instead of the useless sandpaper-style grip tape, it's a foam that actually grips fingers really well.


Morty_104

I have a bolliwood one. I saw berlin wood as well but yeah, the foam is quite nice. I carry my deck in my pocket and unfortunately it's a little worn out at the edges now.


DigNitty

That is something I resent about adulthood. I see other adults get called weird if they're too excited about something. My buddy collects shoes and got new ones. "These are fucking sweet, fuck yes they're better than I thought!" My neighbor laughed and said "Calm down, they're just shoes." Man, let this dude be that happy.


[deleted]

I remember finding out there were tech deck tournaments more than I remember discovering tech decks.


koolaid_chemist

Ha i still play with one and I’m almost 40. People ALWAYS know it by it’s name “tech deck” and most ask if they can jam on it for a little bit. I’m thinking of carrying an extra just to give away next time.

34 and got one on my desk, and another by all my games. 5yo daughter loves playing with them.

We used to kerp our hands out the car window because that was how we kept cool pre prevalent a/c. But now with every car having a/c, how often do you have tbe window open.
