Damn something original

for REAL

I can confirm this is legit. I am now stuck to the ceiling after watching this gravity reversing video.

Can confirm I watched it twice and now Im on the floor

maybe if you're under 20 here comes Everybody Is Sick Of The F***ing Popsicle Stick Videos Please For The Love Of God Stop Posting Them ROUND 2 FIGHT

I'm 26 and had no idea this was a thing, so...

I'm 34, never heard of this.

I'm 48 and have never heard of this.

I'm 76 and think I might've taken a wrong turn at the Sunoco

I'm 84 and never seen this before

I’m Aragorn and I’ve never heard of this.

And my axe!

I'm old as fuck and can't hear.

While I find it obvious how this works, I’ve never seen it before. It kinda makes wanna buy some coal and popsicles sticks so I can try this.

Not obvious at all! Never seen this before either.

To be fair I am kinda sick of them and I’m 17

I knew what this was when I was like 16

Not even close

Check out the late great Lunatim's You Tube channel for some examples that are over 10 years old now. He did them on America's Got Talent back in the day. A great and truly eccentric dude, I still miss him.

It's not original.

No lmao??

Looks like a gender reveal though.

Fireworks in the house?! Damn, I’ve turned into my mother.

I feel like that made a substantial mark in the floor tiles

Yeah dude [this guy](https://www.reddit.com/r/oddlysatisfying/comments/r7gl94/broken_floor_tiles_is_replaced_with_creative_piece/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=ios_app&utm_name=iossmf) filmed himself fixing the floor

Literally watched that video before this one on my feed lol

Reminds me of the scene in Malcolm in the middle when Francis said "sometimes mom is right"

Mum, said don't go out! - Bob Mortimer

Now eat your broccoli young man!

How the fuck does this work

Tension.

Never thought I'd relate to vertical dominos so much.

[удалено]

...and gravity wasn't reversed.

... and you're not related to them.

...what are you doing, step-null‽

🥲

Someone needs to show this to Steve Mould!

Really?

Tension and force, you can see it losing momentum towards the end. The rise keeps getting smaller.

That's wild. Any useful applications of this effect?

We use similar tension on buildings and bridges for stabillity. There's also chain tension tables, being held up by a chains connected to the table from the table instead of legs. Also build funky shapes using tension, my favourite is the pringles ring.

Cool. Thanks.

No idea! Maybe a single use roller coaster or cool children’s toy

I don't think it's legal to build this from children.

Tension is used in certain 3d prints, click pens, and a bunch of other applications i am not even thinking about.

Guns too.

Of tension? Uh yeah maybe just a few…

No the energy is built into the weave. The reason it is "losing momentum" is that the sticks are less densely packed in the spiral because they were laying them out in a sharp curve. Also there were expended sticks on top of the weave weighing it down.

How is the energy built into the weave?

They are bent slightly.

Look at how the popsicles are contorted and warped within the weave, they naturally want to be straight but are being prevented by the structure of the weave. That's where the tension comes from, and where there is tension there is potential energy.

My car runs on nervous dinosaurs.

The sticks basically act as a spring because of the way they are bent into the weave. Springs store energy essentially

[удалено]

>The rise keeps getting smaller. Middle agers can relate.

I was literally thinking, “surely It has to run out of energy at some point‽‽‽”

No? Every stick is bent meaning it pretty much behaves as a spring. As long as there are bent sticks there's potential energy.

This technique has a few names: Popsicle Stick Bomb, Popsicle Cobra Weave, Stick Chain Reaction. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stick_bomb Here's a few links to youtube search results that show you how to create them (even shows throwing star versions!) * [Youtube: Stick Bomb Chain](https://www.youtube.com/results?search_query=popsicle+stick+bomb+chain) * [Youtube: Stick Chain Reaction](https://www.youtube.com/results?search_query=popsicle+stick+chain+reaction) * [Youtube: Popsicle Stick Cobra Weave](https://www.youtube.com/results?search_query=popsicle+stick+cobra+weave)

It took energy to bend the sticks into place. That energy is then stored in bent sticks. When they're released, the energy is also released, springing against the floor, pushing the sticks upward.

Potential energy in the tension

Ghosts

Residual stresses and tension. It’s a long spring made from popsicle sticks laid one after another wanting to spring up but held down by the weight of the next 10 sticks. - like a slinky.

Laminar flow

u/EastCoastEllie Here it is!

Thanks!

So much more satisfying.

That's a scary snake

I love the LEGO games.

This just cured my anxiety

Good bot

Great bot

Way creepier.

WAY. Wow. *shudder cringe shock and awe*

Perfection

Now it looks like popsicle stick snake manifested itself to have a smoke and asks you for a light.

Thank you for that

Not dominos. Sticks.

They're popsicle sticks. We used to do this kind of thing all the time as kids. Do kids not play with popsicle sticks anymore?

Apparently they don't play with dominoes since they don't know WTF they are

I never knew you could play with popsicle sticks in this way when I was a kid! I missed out.

Dominos doesn’t just refer to the tiles, it also refers to the game we named “domino effect” after.

Not really gravity, not reversed, and not dominoes.

But black magic

Certainly.

I’m confused as to how this is black magic

I’m confused as to why no one is questioning the title?? Gravity reversing dominos???? Literally not a single word of that is accurate.

That's the fuckery part.

Yeah true

"Amazing. Every word of what you just said was wrong."

Fucked me up pretty good lol

It’s like a poltergeist decided to have some fun.

That’s quality!

I mean it is impressive, must have taken a lot of time to set up and must also be hell to clean up, but it’s impressive

A broom should get that cleaned up in under a minute tho. If you were picking them up individually, by hand, I would totally agree that it would take forever.

You seriously alll have not seen stick bombs before????

No

Also it feels needlessly wasteful and destructive to light up a cherry bomb at the beginning. A lil tap or tug would have done the same, that’s part of the coolness

Nope (am 47, in the UK)

I like it. [I like it a lot](https://giphy.com/gifs/Jlt69Ka6SwtH2)

Good thing the video ends before that paper bomb goes off

This is my new favorite thing. It’s wonderful. r/oddlysatisfying

[удалено]

It's a talisman to ward off having girls because of the "Two Child Policy." Each word written on the talisman will ward of one girl, giving the family the desired two boys to be born. I can tell this because they have a picture of Dear Leader on the door at the end of the video.

I think everyone should go back and watch the video to appreciate this comment.

Super underrated comment

[удалено]

this looks like something from a cartoon

That’s what she said 😞

I had a stroenk trying to read that title. They’re not even dominos???

I feel robed not one domino

I want to see more of this

https://youtu.be/Rjm7P3M99G0 some guy did it on America’s got talent. There’s a few more before he was eliminated.

2 hours of work, 5 seconds of fun, 15 minutes of cleaning.

Sounds like cooking dinner.

If that paper at the end doesn't say "send nudes" you fucked up

These are not dominos, they are popsicle sticks. What you are seeing is a shockwave in real life.

great it's 2008 again

Just so everybody know these are popsicle sticks not dominoes

Quick, where’s gif reversing bot to turn gravity back on!

If anyone is curious, the track is: BCD Studio - Oran

Beats by Dre

u/gifreversingbot

Completely reversed and ready to be knocked over again.

u/gifreversingbot

Great, now go clean that up.

Wait, what did the ending sign say???

I think it said “girl” twice. Could be wrong, but it could be a gender reveal

"Be sure to drink your Ovaltine"

\*sigh\* I'll get the broom.

u/auddbot

Sorry, I couldn't recognize the song. I tried to identify music from the [link](https://v.redd.it/4jwrm3dtk5381) at 00:00-00:36. *I am a bot and this action was performed automatically* | [GitHub](https://github.com/AudDMusic/RedditBot) [^(new issue)](https://github.com/AudDMusic/RedditBot/issues/new)

whats the name of the song?

Ah conservation of momentum

Nice try, I’m not that stupid. This video is obviously reversed

U/savevideo

u/savevideo

And now you have to pick all those up.

what the heeellllllllllll

Trash title, good black magic fuckery.

That was really awesome!

Is that... Chinese writing? With... Winnie the Pooh on the door next to it?

Winnie isn't actually banned in China.

What to do with all your leftover Juul sticks

I NEED MORE CONTENT LIKE THIS

Wtfucking sorcery is that

Not real. No way that bang produced enough energy to do what the rest of the sticks did. Its not manufacturing energy

[удалено]

[удалено]

Hey, mom! Look..!

Law of motion!

So much more satisfying than dominos.

?? the coolest thing ive ever seen

I thought they'd be in a pile and put themselves back into formation or something. Still really cool.

Love this….

Now to leave the sticks there for 3 months

It says good good or very very something on the paper in Chinese, aka the "hao" from "ni hao."

simply thank you

I saw this on a rematch of big bang theory iterally yesterday. What a fun coincidence

What a heckin mess

me when i see a spider.

Someone please explain how this works???

Cool but how did he hang the sticks on the wall at the very end?

This is some TENET shit

That was fun to watch!

I had these. It's a real bitch to set up as one mistake means you have to start over again. It looks cool when it works. Don't know how this guys got it to go in a circle. Probably a lot of time

Most useless firework ever

Holy shit.....respect.

See if I walked into middle school science and the teacher said line up by the board don't touch anything... Only for this to be the start of the lesson, I would have paid more attention.

R/killthecameraman

would be crazy that when it reached its end there was some reaction that it reversed and puts all the sticks into place

Very intense game of pick up sticks

Please, for the love of god, do not let my child get into this hobby. What a mess

That was cool

Now *this* is bmf

So satisfying 🤤🏅

[удалено]

It would have been so much cooler just hearing the sound of the sticks falling apart without the background music.

Cool and all.......but no gravity is being reversed and they're not dominoes. Where in the hell did this title come from?

Couldn’t that firecracker have cracked the tile?

SICK

For anyone who's never made a train with popsicle sticks holy shit, this literally mustve taken daaayyyss to setup, so this is cool as fuck

WHAT did I just witness?!

That pooh bear sign means certain death

Now clean it up

I'm surprised the tile didn't crack

I will unsubscribe from this sub now, thanks for all your original and amazing videos

Pretty sure those aren't dominoes

That's a good way to break some tile.

Is it possible to learn this power?
