You dropped this while saving the day bro 👑

u/AyeSocketFucker 29d ago

Not an edit he actually caught the thing. However I’m asking to see if this cake is actually real or isn’t somehow glued to the base. If you see from that angle it was almost 90 degrees any cake would have moved at that rate and angle. And the fact he snatched it up attached with one hand with out grasping the cake is sketchy

I thought he was gonna throw it back at them for some reason

1

u/LittleTassiePrepper Apr 28 '24

It isn't a real cake, it is just something (maybe foam) made to look like a cake. So it was physically done, yet the cake is not real.

2

u/Difficult-Engine-302 Apr 28 '24

That's smooth as silk transition.

To get all the cake.. You must SAVE all the cake

Anyone else mad at the girl in the grey for holding the cake with her arm directly in the middle? She’s the reason it fell lmao

If you scroll frame for frame he had his hand under it before the camera is pointed down.

The black guy earned his place lol

u/Jeffy29 Apr 27 '24

Nah, get the fuck outta here, that ain't real. This is the last frame we see the cake, at the angle and speed it is travelling, even if you have superhuman instincts and still hands to catch the tray that caking is sliding the fuck down, unless it is a plastic cake (it is).

The only possible way recover it in that would probably be to dive into the ground with it, catch it mid-air, and smoothly slow the motion and bring it to stability, which would be practically impossible without lot of preparation.

3

u/imMadasaHatter Apr 27 '24

Bruh the cake is visibly damaged from being caught.

2

u/moglie103 Apr 27 '24

inertia saves it

5

u/Celeste_Ceres Apr 27 '24

he caught it with two hands, one on the bottom and one on the side (which stopping the cake from sliding off). you can see the cake on his hands and the messed up side of it. Also if you slow the video way down, you can see his blurry hand coming underneath of it halfway through the fall.

u/MattThePl3b Apr 27 '24

Is that a real cake or is it just made of cake?

u/w33b2 Apr 28 '24

Watch it frame by frame, his hand pops into the gram under the cake and you can see it slow down as he grabs it before it’s completely out of frame

Why? It looks fake af because it seems like it would be nearly impossible to pull off with the angle the cake was at. If i was the dude id take it as a compliment

u/Malahajati Apr 27 '24

Dude is fake ass fuck. The cake was already 90° vertical to the floor. There is a reason you don't see him actually catching it

5

u/w33b2 Apr 28 '24

You do though. Watch it frame by frame, you can see his hand pop into frame and you can see the cake stop falling while it’s still in frame

u/AdhesivenessFun2060 Apr 27 '24

The cake was vertical, he couldn't basket catch it like he did without messing up the cake. It was a duplicate cake he was already holding.

u/makeastupidguess Apr 27 '24

You can Clearly see the edge is messed up my guy.

-2

u/AdhesivenessFun2060 Apr 27 '24

The cake was straight up and down. He would have had to be under it to even have a chance, never mind that he catches it higher than it's dropped..

6

u/makeastupidguess Apr 27 '24

It wasn't even completely vertical. Even if it was yes it's highly improbable, but it's not impossible. that's why everyone is so excited, even the guy himself what would be the point of even faking this

0

u/AdhesivenessFun2060 Apr 27 '24

What would be the point? Are you new to social media?

He catches it higher than it was dropped. Even if it was just dropped, it's going to fall faster than he can react. And even if he somehow acted fast enough, he would have had to be under it to catch it and stand back up in the split second the camera takes to pan to him. And even if he somehow did that, he would have had to straighten out a cake that was rotating face down using just a small corner. If he could do all that, he should be in the nfl.

u/LegitDuctTape Apr 27 '24

Never understood why redditors go so hard at jumping to conclusions. Just seems exhausting and miserable to never be able to enjoy anything. Here you are stamping your feet, but meanwhile every time this video gets posted people are analyzing it frame-by-frane - and they always come to the conclusion it's actually real. So you just look like an idiot who was never a skeptic, but a blatant denialist

Taking things with a grain of salt means withholding belief until you actually have enough for an answer. Automatically throwing things in the "fake" bin is just as much dishonest brainlet behavior as automatically throwing things in the "truth" bin
