His face....such sadness...

[–]guiriguiri 2 points3 points ago

i want to hug him forever.

[–]aurahack 11 points12 points ago

Reminds me of this. Man, am I glad I don't stack shit as a hobby. :T

[–]barbwyre 8 points9 points ago

That was so painful to watch. Poor guy, I can't imagine how upset he was... and how much he wanted to strangle that reporter with his cord. :(

It's fake. Guinness would not wait a week to finalize something so prone to collapsing. Besides look at the wire. At 0:22 the wire for the microphone is going from left to right. When it knocks down the tower it is going from right to left.

He does step around the platform, though, from where he was standing before.

Actually this is a good teaching moment. Life is fleeting, and all our accomplishments are like dust in the wind.

There was a similar situation where these monks were spending days making sand art in a mall. They fully expected some punk kid to eventually step all over it. When it happened, they didn't let it phase them as they are more in tune with the nature of life.

Thank you Debbie Downer

[–]firstpageguy 5 points6 points ago

Life is suffering. Say hi to your mom for me.

[–]wendysNO1wcheese 3 points4 points ago

Monks making sand art in a mall? I don't even know what that means.

[–]Roopa132 2 points3 points ago

Thanks to reddit my list why I absolutely hate children expands and expands...

[–]kareemabduljabbq 29 points30 points ago

this proves the 9/11 conspiracy theories pretty conclusively.

[–]OILikeThat 5 points6 points ago

Gravity. Works every time.

[–][deleted] 3 points4 points ago

I could not pick that as a hobby. The first time that this happens, I would rage quit and pick up chess.

[–]Chris-Ro 3 points4 points ago

Source even though this has been posted way too many times other than this.

[–]AlwaysDefenestrated 19 points20 points ago

You did it backwards. Text first in brackets, link after in parentheses.

[–]Chris-Ro -1 points0 points ago

Sorry, I was on a phone... Fixed

[–]tidalwaveofawesome 2 points3 points ago

After that I would have just sat in a corner and rock back in forth for a few days.

[–]TodTheTyrant 2 points3 points ago

in an odd way this is prob. alot more famous now than it would have been if it was successful

[–]ablebodiedmango 1 point2 points ago

And this is why we don't engage in soul-crushing hobbies

[–]mattc286 1 point2 points ago

Aw. Someone reverse this so I can feel good again.

[–]Dynamiklol 2 points3 points ago

Everyhting.....

[–]opacdk 0 points1 point ago

Why would you build it in that setting?

[–]Yobitches 0 points1 point ago

A wonderful illustration of impermanence.

[–]Silversol99 0 points1 point ago

Jimi Hendrix had something to say about similar endeavors.

[–]ChronicRhinitis 0 points1 point ago

I'd try to kick it as it fell down so I could feel like I did it on purpose.

[–][deleted] 0 points1 point ago

Are they cards?

[–][deleted] 0 points1 point ago

Dominoes without printed patterns.

[–]Phoequinox -1 points0 points ago

I want to cry so hard for that guy. As a former Lego devotee, I always wanted to harm myself when shit like this happened.

[–]mindsnare 20 points21 points ago

If your Lego structures were falling down like this, you weren't Legoing properly. In fact you've missed the entire point of Lego altogether. This saddens me.

[–]LordPhantom -2 points-1 points ago

Time to go smoke some crystal and get back in the game

[–]Trolliclitus -2 points-1 points ago

If you make giant domino pyramids and can't handle them falling over, you're gonna have a bad time.
