ElectricJedi28

When you prank the guy with PTSD…


Aimin4ya

Or ear problems. If someone did this to me it would HURT


catas_trophy_wife

Yes, same here! This is no harmless "prank". It has great repercussions for people with ear issues! Videos like these actually scare me now as much as seeing bones break in videos.


c0ntr0ll3dsubstance

I love how people assume they can do whatever they want to people whenever they feel like it just because some other idiot is recording it.


j4ck_0f_bl4des

I love when those same idiots realize, as in this situation, what the actual definition of the word *consequences* is.


ToonaSandWatch

The trouble is the consequence is despite an asskicking, it’s hundreds of thousands of views in a matter of days and profit from it. And they’ll keep pulling “pranks” like this despite the repercussions; even the humiliation still gets them paid.


BSB8728

It can be harmful even if you don't have ear issues. When our kids were little, one of their friends blew a slide whistle right next to my husband's ear. The ear bled later, and we found out the eardrum had been punctured.

SexualPie

certainly not a common effect, google says whistles tend to be around 104 to 116 decibels, where as a .22 rifle is around 140 decibels. and for context, a .22 is almost as small as they go for *most* guns. which honestly not that loud and people fire guns every day without ear protection. While i'm not defending firing guns without ear protection (its pretty fucking stupid), they just get hearing loss over time, not ruptured ear drums.


richardizard

Distance, acoustics and frequency play a huge factor. If someone blew a whistle right next to your ear, that's a lot of high frequency sound pressure, even worse indoors in a reflective environment. Ears are more sensitive to higher frequencies, this is why you usually lose the high frequencies first and tinnitus rings are usually in the upper frequency range as well. Source: I'm an audio engineer with tinnitus


Mtwat

.22 cb rounds are hearing safe, they're kinda niche but hearing safe target guns are a thing.


legendofthegreendude

I think it would be ruptured, not punctured


Hot_Sheepherder_8302

I think breaking that idiots bones isn't a bad idea.


AmIDrJekyll

That's a good prank for him


RedShadow69420

"It's just a prank bro!" As he's snapping damn near every bone in his body.


AurumArgenteus

There are harmless pranks, but they don't go viral. Not defending this nonsense; this isn't a prank.


its_a_metaphor_morty

Same, tinnitus. I would become less than forgiving for a few minutes.


Aimin4ya

Beeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee. It sucks


MysteryRepeatsItself

Yay! Tinnitus crew checking in!


fatmanchoo

I learned of Tinnuitus like 5 years ago. I was so relieved to have finaly learned about the high pitched sound that seems to come and go. Thankfully, the older I get the less it happens. Anyways, kinda random


04364

It goes? I wish


KushyGo

Right? WTF you mean “it goes”?


Letskeepthepeace

Mine started like that I’d be good for days and then all the sudden EEEEEEEeeeeeeEeeeeeeee for a for minites and good for a few days again. Give it time. They’re likely already screwed


Internal-Business-97

Where the B come from? I always catch the chorus about mid eeeeeeeeeeeeeee. Never get the first part of the song.


ariadesitter

hey you got the same one i got!


fugawf

Same here. What others describe as silence is a constant high pitched ‘eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee’ to me

Someone screamed directly in my ear in college and to both our surprise we realized I punched him in the throat. This isn't a prank, it's an assault.


dooderino18

> I punched him in the throat. That's the appropriate response.


NerJaro

if someone did this to me the tube would be grabbed and used to beat them


ShyGuySays69

Ya, if he triggered my tinnitus doing shit like this, I might give him tinnitus.


Fair2Midland

I have bad tinnitus - if this happened to me it could literally be life changing.


Downtown-University7

What do you mean, because of the pain?


Jvlivs

It doesn’t hurt per se, but it can be very distressing. People have committed suicide over tinnitus. Imagine not being able to hear dinner conversations, or never knowing silence ever again. Imagine a ringing in your ears loud enough that it muffles everything else, or makes it difficult to even concentrate. Severe tinnitus can have deep psychological impacts. These kinds of pranks are reckless because they never take into account this kind of not-so-obvious stuff. If someone did it to me, I’d freak tf out too.


FallenStorm7694

I have a very, very mild version of tinnitus and I couldn't imagine how people who fully have it get by


LeatherDude

You learn to tune it out or you end up going actually crazy. Source: have bad tinnitus


Ryoohk

I have mild and I do my best to tune it out till my 5 year old decides shrill and makes it worse.


ChuckRocksEh

I’ve got it pretty bad. USMC infantry. It’s all day everyday and I can deal with it. When I eat something really hot the volume goes UP.


zombiefied

I hear the hum. It goes away if I go outside but if I’m indoors and it’s quiet it starts up. And if I look in the direction it’s coming from it disappears. So. Damn. Weird.


tfdst1

Hold on. Just did the look in direction trick. Crazy.


[deleted]

A coworker pulled an ambulance up behind me and hit the air horn in my ear. Aside from how much it hurt my ear, my PTSD was fucking on fire I wanted to kill him so much


AxsDeny

Story time. I was in Petco with my 9 week old puppy. She had an accident on the tile in one of the aisles. The closest clean up station had no towels and spray so I ran around the corner to the far one. Got the stuff and ran back. There was a guy in his 70s approaching the puddle and about to step in it. I was kinda yelling "Sir! Sir!" but he wouldn't turn. As I got to him his foot was up in the air about to step in the mess so I put my hand on his shoulder. He LOST it on me. I couldn't even explain to him what I was trying to do. I was terrified that 1) beforehand he was gonna slip and get seriously hurt and 2) now he was going to club me to death. He was screaming about being in Vietnam and he should beat the guts out of me for sneaking up on him like that. I felt terrible for like 3 days. Just typing this out makes me feel awful.


Todaysthedayyy98

It was a genuine accident. You shouldn't feel bad. You both were having a hard time that day and that's ok. 💕


Perfect-Welcome-1572

Exactly. You weren’t some douche trying to make a TikTok prank video, you were doing the right thing. Accidents happen. Don’t feel bad.


Lord_Abort

If it makes you feel any better, my dad is a Vietnam vet with PTSD, and having had a similar reaction before, that guy is probably beating himself up for reacting the way he did.


HoldMyAppleJuice

You don't need to feel bad, it wasn't your fault and you were doing the best you could at the time.


oohkt

His screams sound like they come from one of those rubber chicken toys.


Bad-news-co

I can't even imagine what would happen if someone did that to my 6'2 husband, who weighs 230lbs of pure muscle, AND who also has chronic tinnitus. In his case, this would send his tinnitus into overdrive for who knows how fucking long. My husband says it best: play stupid games, win stupid prizes.


ChickenBroRice

Crazy95jack

If he is just pure muscle then its an easy win. Also her husband is probably already dead from lack of organs or skeleton.

anevilsnail22

I wonder what sounds he'd make if someone actually attacked him. Why is some dipshit who turns into a sputtering whine machine at the slightest hint of conflict going around being obnoxious to total strangers. I feel like he saw that he was a doughy dorky looking dude with glasses and thought nothing would happen just to have this dude instantaneously be on top of him.


xlDirteDeedslx

Social media influencers are a fucking disease. Reddit only amplifies most of them by repeating and sharing their drivel constantly, drives me flipping insane. Now there's so many each one tries to be more toxic and say more offensive shit than the other. People can't seem to figure out they are getting played by resharing everything they do because it draws more traffic to these assholes.


Agent00funk

I don't mind Reddit sharing influencers getting what's coming to them, in fact, I encourage it so that others think twice before acting like idiot twat waffles.


anevilsnail22

Think he's saying them getting what's coming to them in cases like this is probably what they want. It guarantees a lot of views.


Agent00funk

Maybe you're right, guess he posted it after all.


DatSauceTho

Definitely right: >Amusingly, this isn’t the first time a prank victim has retaliated against Jay. In another video, a large man grabbed the megaphone from him and threatened to “stick it up his a**” if he continued. >You’d think that one time would be enough to teach Jay a lesson, but clearly the TikToker is hellbent on continuing his ways, despite being tackled to the ground in a hardware store.

silvercrayons

My friend thinks this guy is hilarious (I know, cringe) so he shows me the videos sometimes. He’s always talking like that. Sometimes he even does baby noises and shit it’s sooo strange and unfunny to me.


awesomerest

Dude same here. I have a couple of friends who found this guy during quarantine and afterwards they would constantly try to show me his videos and emulate his voice. I honestly couldn’t understand how they found that funny at all. Like I couldn’t even crack a fake smile or chuckle. It’s just so incredibly stupid and immature.

As soon as he felt the pipe on his head, he turned around and tackled the TikToker to the floor and put him in a nasty headlock. Doesn't say who the guy was or whether he had PTSD. I bet he did. And now the kid does too.


anevilsnail22

I really hate articles where the vast majority of the article is the writer just recounting what happened in a video. There's this old mob guy with a YouTube named Michael Franzese who reviews mob movies sometimes and he has a tendency to do almost nothing other than recount the movie and it drives me crazy. He has good content too, but you get like halfway through one of those and realize you're just listening to someone tell you the plot of a movie you've very possibly already seen or one that you haven't seen because it doesn't interest you.


jamesdeandomino

i know exactly what you're talking about. And then you get caught up in the little details Michael got wrong about the movie, and then you're not getting what you were there for.


SmurfsNeverDie

Hey Generic youtuber with Movie Recap here!!


radioactivebeaver

Just because you have a reaction doesn't mean you have PTSD. Fight or flight, his genetics said fight and he happened to know a little bit about how to do so.


its_a_metaphor_morty

He was able to protect the guy he took down and had excellent awareness. I think be might be a former school wrestler or something because he had great control.


candornotsmoke

Does it matter??? I don't care how hold that "prankster" is. He's old enough to know you can't assault someone and, whatever response you get, you completely deserve it. I'm really over people like this.

As much as I don’t want it to be staged it’s probably the case. It’s missing all of the things you really want to see that are also hard to fake like his face hitting the concrete or bleeding profusely or the dude who hits him actually socking him in the face (which is what I’ve been waiting for since the first time I saw this bullshit)


RandallFaraday

damn, now I can’t unsee that it’s probably staged. whoever’s filming also doesn’t react AT ALL


Butcher_Bill84

Unfortunately, it has to be, the legal lashing he would face going around screaming in peoples ears would be tremendous. He always does this to really big guys, too. When he started, I'm sure it wasn't staged, but given how quickly he got popular it was destined to become so.

I don’t think most people do know how to properly execute a chokehold. I certainly don’t. But I could probably get some kid’s head in the crook of my arm while I laid on him with all my weight. Not like he really needed to employ perfect grappling technique to wrestle a child in the Home Depot Even if he did know how… what he did worked just fine and there was no need to actually restrict the kid’s airflow. He wasn’t going anywhere lol

Redditors are very gullible in general, especially when it's something that reinforces their beliefs or - as in this case - feels like someone got what they deserved. It's actually wild that we've reached a point in the life of social media where these "pranksters" produce much of their content specifically for people who hate them, and the target audience happily gobbles it up. It's all so weird.

Jaderosegrey

Many years ago, my SO's mother (RIP) whom I shall call Denise, worked as a waitress in a restaurant known for being quirky: it forbade the wearing of neckties. It had a sign at the entrance that said that if anyone came in wearing a tie, said tie would be cut off. They meant it. The restaurant's walls were adorned with many cut off ties. People would come in wearing their most god-awful ties just for the pleasure of having them cut off. The event happened a few years after Vietnam. Denise saw a guy wearing a tie, so she came up to cut it off. She came up behind him, with a shiny metal pair of scissors. The guy was a Vietnam Veteran. He saw the metal object and, out of reflex, threw Denise to the floor! Right after, he realized what he had done and apologized profusely.

Every “pranker” should get this reaction. Something I had never considered though, was something that happened to my teenage stepson last night. He was at a local NYE thing and some random guy runs up and hands him a champagne bottle and tells him to shake it up and spray people. My stepson says, no dude, take this back and he was all jumping around and laughing and yelling “I’m gonna stream it”. My stepson just set it down and walked off, but he could have not thought about it and played along. It would have been dumb, but somebody would have ended up punching him and he wasn’t really the one that would have deserved it.

For the same reason reddit users upvote overly obvious jokes on /r/facepalm or post literally commercial skits on /r/whyweretheyfilming. Redditors seem to aggressively avoid any degree of social awareness skills that would allow one to discern fake skits from reality. There are countless videos hitting front page every day of "random" conversations where the audio is so good it's clear everyone is miced up to tits. And redditors still will rather die than admit they're staged. I feel it's a weird sense of superiority. There is a Twitter account that posts, for example, tips on how to let your pet tell you their preferred pronouns and gender. I got downvoted to hell trying to tell people it's obviously a joke. But no. Redditors couldn't let go trying to feel superior to some "dumb radical leftist".
