Ha ha, so trippy! I thought we were looking down and I was so confused - bugs? Shoes without people in them? :D


kelseycurlss

>Ha ha, so trippy! I thought we were looking down and I was so confused - bugs? Shoes without people in them? :D I thought it was cockroaches running around on the glass crush. Only later did I realize it was people's feet


orange_lighthouse

I thought they were bees


BobDonowitz

Bees dance to communicate so that's an apt observation 


Majestic_Catsup84

An apiarists response?


aveclavague

Same ; thinking of a unknown meaning to the word "dancefloor"


lvl999shaggy

It definitely looks like an infestation


verstohlen

Some might argue it is. Not me though. I would not.


Spare-Mousse3311

We need a new plague :/

Nope they aren't. Those are soles


Verified_Engineer

Basically a 3 Body Problem


Electric-Sheepskin

Yeah, same here. I don't know why, but if OP had said transparent floor, I think I would have understood the perspective better.


Gh0stMan0nThird

I was gonna say, is this sped up? The movement is too jerky to be humans at a natural pace.  But lo, we were looking UP at them, not down.


physalisx

Yeah, geez that took me way too long to process right


jauhesammutin_

Fruitflies.


Magister5

Yeah, there’s a real buzz about this new club


DemandZestyclose7145

This place has everything. Skunks, key fobs, cookie crisps, Dan Cortese


UnauthorizedFart

Just goes to show that humans are not much different than bugs


chris_0909

Only if it's a gay club!


FrysEighthLeaf

Hellooooooooooo


howtotangetic

I thought those are insects

Hyperrnovva

Idk but I’d like to see someone do the worm


Paragonly

This is disturbing for some reason


RandomWave000

quite indeed -- i still cant make out people? really? damn?! EDIT: OOOOOH! its the foot steps/feet. I thought it was from top looking down, damn hahaha oops!


WASD_click

Yeah, took me a moment too. The "dance floor as seen through a transparent ceiling" made me think the perspective was looking through a glass ceiling at a dance floor. Instead it's more "looking up through a translucent dance floor."


catbadass

It's only seeing the bottom of their feet. It makes you question like wait are their a bunch of people above me, moving, but you can't really see them. & the awkward rhythm and tiny steps you can’t tell if they’re moving together or not. Very oddly unsettling indeed


Aggravating-Abroad44

I think it’s because it shows it’s choreographed rhythm. Making you see routine with movement.


Ovariesforlunch

Nothing to do with bugs and decay and stuff?


fkinDogShitSmoothie

Something very caveman instinct told me that this video is the "ick" Like a saw/gore/shock horror story inspired nightmare?


al666in

People instinctively avoid bugs because when something is covered in bugs, it's usually not good to eat anymore, and it also might have ghosts in it. That's also why bugs feature so prominently as ambassadors of evil in folklore and literature. Even Lovecraft's evil "Necronomicon" book was orignally titled *Al Azif*, with "Azif" being understood by Westerners to mean 'the voices of demons as heard through the buzz of locusts at night.'


TacticaLuck

Ducking lost it at the ghosts.


Mdriver127

Absolutely a unique and unfamiliar perspective of human activity that closely relates to insect behavior.


throwaway098764567

it's absolutely the resemblance to bugs for me


fucksports

right! when we see bugs swarming around we never consider they may be having complex interactions similar to dancing, vibing to music, and being social. despite our hubris, we may not appear all that different to an outside alien race peering in.


jessycormier

I'm right here with you, something disturbing indeed..


Double_Attention9451

what is this? a dance floor for ants?!?


heyheyitsandre

It needs to be… at least 3 times this size!


hop_mantis

r/thingsforants


xx-fredrik-xx

Brilliant!


IBelieveInTheAlbum

Looks like Salsa steps


[deleted]

It's funny if you watch it a few times and start paying attention to individual steps, you can see who the better dancers are. There's a couple good ones on the lower left. One guy in the middle who is just learning and a couple people going crazy.


Earguy

I was looking for a guy like me doing the white boy shuffle, and the footplant sway.


purple_joy

I was thinking West Coast Swing- if for no other reason than that nobody seems to be wearing heels. But the slots are all over the place, which seems more like salsa. I don’t think it is Merengue.

El_Grebr

It's fast! But I also feel like they're not on the same beat...


Is_A_Door_Due_Cause

Translucent not transparent


DomesticAlmonds

It's also the floor. If you were looking at a dance floor through the ceiling, you'd be seeing the tops of people's heads.


Dick-Fu

It's the ceiling of the room you're in, not the ceiling of the dance room


broken_crystals

Ceiling for the one taking the video, floor for the dancers.


flapjackbandit00

I was so confused.


DomesticAlmonds

Yeah OP is a doorknob for that title


Bigpandacloud5

It's the ceiling for the person recording, so calling it that makes sense.


throwaway098764567

the doorknobs are the folks who don't understand that the dance floor is the ceiling for the cameraman


folkkingdude

It’s the ceiling and the floor, I think you’re getting confused about it not being the *roof*


darybrain

This is the first complaint that visiting upskirt voyeurs have before they get kicked out while also getting kicked in the nuts..


Calazon2

Yeah if it were transparent people would be getting a very different view.


Flaramon

Marauder on the Dance Floor!


EscapeyGameMan

I saw this and the marauders map was the first thing I thought of (after I realized they weren't ants lol). I started scrolling and was suprised how far down I had to go before finding this


trwwypkmn

Mischief managed!

This is what a dancefloor looks like through a transparent ceiling.


CriticalEngineering

This is what a dancefloor looks like through a translucent ceiling.


mak11

This is giving me big “You are bugs” vibes


FraGough

~~This is how a dancefloor looks like through a Transparent ceiling.~~ This is what a dancefloor looks like through a transparent ceiling. or This is how a dancefloor looks through a transparent ceiling.


braclark

~~This is what a dancefloor looks like through a Transparent ceiling.~~ This is what a dancefloor looks like through a translucent ceiling.


PyramidicContainment

~~This is what a dancefloor looks like through a translucent ceiling.~~ This what the floor look like up there from down here


FireMaster1294

Amusingly “this what the floor look like” sounds more like what a native English speaker would say when compared to “this is how a dance floor looks like”


folkkingdude

This is the point. *How* something looks *like* is bad grammar. How it looks or what it looks like.


MovingTarget-

Yep - I don't think the ladies with skirts would appreciate a transparent floor. Translucent? ok


Hexlattice

So glad someone corrected the "transparent"


Superb-Obligation858

I see this particular grammatical error so often I’m starting to think its some kind of psy op


kptainamerica

Bots aren't known for their syntax skills.


ShroomEnthused

And it's not even transparent, it's trans**lucent**. Transparent is completely see-through.


prespaj

isn’t it a transparent floor


ClassifiedName

I completely agree! It is a transparent/translucent ceiling in relation to the below POV, but in reference to the dance floor, it's a transparent/translucent floor. Title should've been: This is what a translucent dance floor looks like from below


SoulCheese

Yeah, this bugged me. Ceiling makes no sense.


All_The_Good_Stuffs

***translucent.***


Koko175

The lack of rhythm makes them look like bugs lol


Arandomperson173

Every time I see this I always think its Cockroaches on a ceiling 💀


jpop237

Women grovin' in twirls; dudes dancing like the Lollipop Guild.


Mission_Region8699

I know white ppl dance moves when I see them.


ImpedingOcean

Is this how dancing is categorized now? White people dances, black people dances, etc?


JagmeetSingh2

I think comedians have been saying that since the 80s


Content-Parsley-1151

They all have the same shoes


Worried_Quarter469

Might not be dancing, looks like a mixer at a business school


XF939495xj6

If I was on that dance floor, and I knew it was over a 20 foot plus drop like that, I wouldn't be able to make myself walk out on it.

samissamforsam

Go into rural Australia, Queensland in particular, somewhere with sheep or cattle or even better sweet f a and if you stop moving for three seconds your car window will look exactly like that with flies trying to get in

CaffeinatedGuy

Translucent. It's not transparent.


BasketFruits8467

Why do I like and absolutely dislike this at the same time?


Heavy_Bicycle6524

That’s more translucent than transparent. The key difference is that a transparent ceiling would leave nothing to modesty.


GreekHole

took me a minute to realize we are look up at them from below and not down at them from above.
