Not as fake as you think.

[–]Virus610 40 points41 points ago

Man, this one reminds me of a particular morning experience.

[–]SirChuffly 17 points18 points ago

Petting your ram?

[–]Virus610 12 points13 points ago

You ever wake up and try to use the toilet right away, and what is usually a steady stream has instead split into two mini-jets of piss that go everywhere but into the toilet?

That.

[–]Virus610 0 points1 point ago

That was incredibly relevant. Glad I can relate with... Er...George Bush?

[–]Jmanmanman 1 point2 points ago

So...Is this saying George Bush's pee splits in half? Or the cartoon asking him how many times?

[–]Sottish 1 point2 points ago

Why am i pissing like I've been having sex all night?

[–]STRINGALING -1 points0 points ago

That made me think of Me, Myself and Irene.

[–]dmvazliny 11 points12 points ago

i feel like someone could sell that contraption he made as a decorative winter front lawn ornament

[–]griztokes 1 point2 points ago

Fucking awesome

[–]Ovarian_Cavity 7 points8 points ago

Ah, my old alma mater! Thanks for the link!

[–]GangControl 5 points6 points ago

I just had a Vietnam-esque flashback after clicking the link and ending up on a "ilstu.edu" page...

[–]canned_film_festival 5 points6 points ago

Great, this is going to be a thing now.

[–]tippelskirchi -1 points0 points ago

There's a thread in r/askscience currently asking about this very phenomenon, fyi - bet they'd find this study interesting!

[–]MikhailGorhsky 265 points266 points ago

[–]bombombtom 109 points110 points ago

Don't know if you were saying he stole this or not but this is currently the number one post on r/mildlyinteresting and it was posted honestly like yesterday

[–]Fake_Batman 88 points89 points ago

Yup, he stole it. Jerk.

[–]sapzilla 0 points1 point ago

'Like' yesterday or yesterday? Jw...

[–]bombombtom 0 points1 point ago

Should have used about yesterday used like for lack of a better term at the time

[–]sapzilla 2 points3 points ago

Should just say yesterday, no other term necessary to get across that it was some time yesterday :p

[–]bombombtom 2 points3 points ago

Can't edit comments sorry for the double reply but polite response so fuck it have an up vote

[–]bombombtom 1 point2 points ago

Wasn't really thinking I use alien blue too much and it's really similar to texting for me, so most of the time I type things as I I would just say them without thinking.

[–]sapzilla 1 point2 points ago

Sorry, this is just my step mom coming out in me. She got pretty good at correcting my inappropriate and extreme overuse of 'like' when I was teen and now all I can think is "do you mean 'like' __ or do you mean __ for sure...?" Bah!

[–]bombombtom 0 points1 point ago

I hate that I say it all the time too trying to grow up here:/

[–][deleted] 0 points1 point ago

It's been posted in a few in the last couple days.

[–]bombombtom 0 points1 point ago

Thank you I wasn't sure how recently but I knew it was very recently

[–]dodecadevin 0 points1 point ago

The implication is that this doesn't belong in /r/wtf at all

[–]bombombtom 0 points1 point ago

That's what i thought too but I was also noting it was ironic it was actually the top post at r/mildlyinteresting at the time

[–]Real_physical 36 points37 points ago

Warning: Frozen Water

[–]imjustbek 9 points10 points ago

Can someone science me this? Please?

[–]okface 14 points15 points ago

Water expands when it freezes. If water is in the pipe and begins to freeze, then it has nowhere to go but out. Think about pushing cheeze through a grater, but in slow mo, and ice.

[–]selfishcarpenter 2 points3 points ago

Why is there water in the pipe? It looks like a rail. If this is a stupid question, forgive me I live in a desert.

[–]Willowmound 22 points23 points ago

Rain, or what you would call "falling sky-water".

[–]dumnezero 3 points4 points ago

Rain, snow, melting, re-freezing, condensation or just holes.

[–]Binsky89 1 point2 points ago

Water gets everywhere.

[–]4ray 1 point2 points ago

They welded the pipe upside down with the drain hole that someone else drilled, at the top.

[–]Africaner 10 points11 points ago

I think your railing has intestinal worms...

[–]fractal7 10 points11 points ago

Yep, that hole in the top of the pipe allows air to get inside. The condensation inside the pipe fills the tube and with a good concrete seal on the bottom has no where to go. When it freezes the water expands out the hole. Easy.

[–]aggiebuff 2 points3 points ago

But why doesn't it just grow down? What allows it to curve up against gravity?

[–]LilDutchy 4 points5 points ago

it's not curling against gravity. As it's pushed out from the pipe it droops, then more pushes out also drooping. since the ice that's already pushed out doesn't then straighten out it appears to be curling up, when it's actually being pushed up by ice that's newly coming out of the whole and drooping down.

[–]verbalsoze 4 points5 points ago

water tentacle hentai?

[–]wimpledpeas 4 points5 points ago

This isn't wtf, this is awesome

[–]TheMightyTrollercorn 34 points35 points ago

OMG!!! FROZEN WATER!!! SOOOOOOO CRAZY!!!!

[–]skaternewt 36 points37 points ago

WTF!?!?!??!?!

[–]leethax0r 26 points27 points ago

Has Science Gone Too Far?

[–]Andreewww 2 points3 points ago

93 out of 100 fail this test!

[–]FTZ 2 points3 points ago

Yesterday I opened the freezer and I was like: WTF?!?! ICE!!

[–]Ecl1pse -1 points0 points ago

While I certainly agree with you that this is not at all 'WTF', it is still awesome.

[–]Binsky89 -1 points0 points ago

You mean that water expands when frozen? Who'da thunk it.

[–]HYLANDWHO 12 points13 points ago

how the fuck is this r/wtf

[–]foxsix 5 points6 points ago

I said "wtf" :[

[–]Jyon 1 point2 points ago

upvoting, coz so did I. does something really have to be fucking spacedicks worthy to "qualify" as wtf?

[–]DSCAccount -5 points-4 points ago

Ok ive had a enough. No. It doesnt have to be spacedicks to be WTF. but...this is frozen water. you see the reddit logo for this subreddit? DO YOU MAKE THAT FACE WHEN YOU SEE FROZEN WATER? Its people like you who upvote posts like these and get it to the front page. Fucking. Bullshit.

[–]AwesomeAni 0 points1 point ago

Water doesn't freeze like that normally... That's why it's WTF.

[–]Jyon -1 points0 points ago

Over simplifying the description of something doesn't help you any.

"All (& only) things that make you say WTF. The moderators of /r/WTF reserve the right to moderate posts for not being WTF and would be more appropriate in more relevant subreddits."

I said wtf. I don't see any mod tags on you. Sit down.

[–]NeoScout -2 points-1 points ago

is it normal frozen water?, fuck off

[–]NeoScout 1 point2 points ago

me too, but nobody will understand us

[–]foxsix 0 points1 point ago

Yeah...usually gore makes me think "hm, this person had an unfortunate accident it looks like." But ice growing out of a pole? WTF, man. WTF.

[–]estragonsboot 0 points1 point ago

looks like a duck penis

[–]HappyPillz77 0 points1 point ago

I do not know what I expected when I clicked that link.

[–]MattZeAwesome 2 points3 points ago

repost

[–]kittymaridameowcy 1 point2 points ago

"All (& only) things that make you say WTF"

I have the feeling that you say "wtf" about everything.

[–]iamadogforreal 5 points6 points ago

Oh crap, will someone reboot the matrix already?

[–]dtooman -1 points0 points ago

Fucking Mayans.

[–]Moxely 0 points1 point ago

The second from the bottom had some very unfortunate dual-streaming going on.

[–]MonjStrz 1 point2 points ago

Looks like a tape worm

[–]JTyler82 -1 points0 points ago

Sorry, ice grows now?

[–]orion262 0 points1 point ago

Mmm looks like when you squeeze a bit lackhead!

[–]Le_Dark_Flower 0 points1 point ago

Its looking for a female pole to inseminate.

[–]Mooshrew -1 points0 points ago

Yo, that's that monster from the movie Abyss. Kill it!

[–]Drudicta -1 points0 points ago

That is so awesome. I'd break it off from the pipe and keep it in my freezer.

[–]4ray 0 points1 point ago

This can happen without a steel pipe, if the surface of a body of water freezes, with a tiny hole, then the rest freezes, pushing slush up out the hole.

[–]hunter87 1 point2 points ago

this would do well in r/woahdude

[–]EZAC99 -1 points0 points ago

Take that shit home and put it in the freezer!

[–]tossed_off_a_bridge 0 points1 point ago

I would be unable to resist the urge to shatter that with a well-timed (lol) karate kick, complete with 'He-yah!'

[–]ResEve 0 points1 point ago

Well, actually, the rail was just having a good time sounding ...

[–]sardu1 0 points1 point ago

Only on reddit does this make sense

[–]ResEve 0 points1 point ago

Lol

[–]JerkyChew 1 point2 points ago

I think I saw that in a girl's butt on /r/wtf earlier this week.

[–]Faloopa 1 point2 points ago

R/mildlyinteresting

[–]wubwub 1 point2 points ago

I want to make a pipe to do that... like fill a pipe with water and cap it except for a little hole and see if it will make magic spirals like that...

hmmmm hardware store run today, methinks...

[–]smeaglelovesmaster 0 points1 point ago

That looks inappropriate somehow.

[–]Erutious 0 points1 point ago

Go home ice, you're drunk.

[–]Warhawk2052 -2 points-1 points ago

Are the last two a penis?

[–]zanep0 0 points1 point ago

Rail is full of water. As water freezes, it expands, pushing it through a hole in the rail. Not WTF worthy

[–]Triassic_Bark -1 points0 points ago

Seriously? This picture was just posted a few hours ago. Fuck you, OP. Fuck you.

[–]tehForce 1 point2 points ago

Every few hours for the past two years. Welcome to reddit.

It was pulled downward, but as ice continued to come out it looped back around on itself.
