premature trajeculation

I swear this has never happened before...

[–]boxedlogic 15 points16 points ago

I don't get it.

[–]carhats 9 points10 points ago

As someone with poor depth perception, this hits a lot closer to home than I'd like it to.

[–]washmo 18 points19 points ago

And much sooner than you expected it.

Title bro

[–]SimilarZ 56 points57 points ago

There is actually another thing behind the pool and that's what he is jumping on.

[–]CODfiend 4 points5 points ago

Upvote for logic!

[–]McBurger 1 point2 points ago

Looks more like it was just staged for Bob Funny Videos shows. and the camera man did a bad job cutting out the slip n slide.

[–]ratepoint0 3 points4 points ago

If it was a slip n slide why didn't he slide :p

[–]kakemot 2 points3 points ago

  • Aristotle

[–]Dakota47 -2 points-1 points ago

Forgot to add water. He didn't have enough momentum to overcome the static friction?

[–]kanfayo 0 points1 point ago

He was moving, so it'd be kinetic.

[–]gynoceros 5 points6 points ago

I dunno, to me it looked like he didn't want water in his eyes, was making his approach with his eyes closed, and really mistimed his leap.

[–]FightingLight 2 points3 points ago

Kid's definitely running with his eyes closed. I'm glad someone else saw this, too, and didn't instantly speculate all the reasons he may have super manned into the ground intentionally.

[–]Dakota47 0 points1 point ago

He also veered hard to the right. I'm not sure depth perception is his only problem.

[–]gynoceros 1 point2 points ago

That's a boy who will accidentally slip his dick into the wrong hole.

Accidentally.

[–]ShortWhiteFriend -2 points-1 points ago

In the original video, he sheepishly gets up and climbs into the pool.

[–]MisterMescudi 8 points9 points ago

Why do you take a crappy screenshot instead of just linking the video?

[–]Imperdimper 5 points6 points ago

I guess ShortWhiteFriend was too lazy to copy the title of the video and put it in google. Here is the video.

[–]ShortWhiteFriend -1 points0 points ago

The title of the video I watched was "Belly flop," but thanks for the unprovoked diss.

[–]Imperdimper 2 points3 points ago

You're welcome, buddy. If there's anything else you need, just let me know.

[–]ShortWhiteFriend 0 points1 point ago

It's taken from my friend's Facebook, his privacy settings don't allow me to share it publicly.

[–]phi186 2 points3 points ago

woah.

[–]ShortWhiteFriend 0 points1 point ago

Haha. Yup. I know their whole family, this clip actually made it onto America's Funniest Home Videos!

[–]iGotChubs4You -1 points0 points ago

Yeah, his face.

[–]SimilarZ 0 points1 point ago

That's the best you could come up with?

[–]zidanetribal 17 points18 points ago

This pretty much describes my first time having sex

[–]bultonic 4 points5 points ago

Submit this with that title. You'll get upvotes, and it isn't a repost because it is a different concept; just wait a few days first.

[–]smellymongorian 1 point2 points ago

And your second time as well right?!

[–]superwinner 1 point2 points ago

You threw your entire body into a giant wet ring?

[–]dontbthatguy 21 points22 points ago

[–]Razer1103 2 points3 points ago

Ohhhw. MY KNEES!

[–]ffca 12 points13 points ago

He was obviously jumping on something else. You can see it in the last few frames. Why? I have no idea.

[–]SicilianEggplant 4 points5 points ago

It's quite possibly just a towel there laying on the ground.

To me it looks as if he closes his eyes while running in anticipation for the coolest splash ever.

[–]gynoceros 0 points1 point ago

I don't think so- it doesn't move as he's getting up.

[–]jsneaks 1 point2 points ago

It moves when he lands directly on top of it, though.

[–]gynoceros 0 points1 point ago

My point is that I don't think he lands on anything but the ground and that there's the illusion of him landing on something because something coincidentally changed as he landed... Could be a reflection on the edge of the pool... Whatever it is, it's closer to the camera than the kid is.

It's just my theory, and it's not like I'm trying to convict someone with this evidence... You seem to want it to be staged pretty badly, so believe what you want.

[–]indoobitably 10 points11 points ago

And thus a professional soccer player is born

[–]Led-Zeppelin 21 points22 points ago

Nothing wrong with his depth perception... just white.

[–]stratamartin 2 points3 points ago

Oh I thought that was what this was all about? We think he's jumping into the pool but he's not, he's jumping onto something slightly behind it?

[–]tomyop 2 points3 points ago

"Depth perception pal, look into it!"

[–]Omegaspleen 2 points3 points ago

Scumbag pool

[–]SquishyWizard 2 points3 points ago

The Mystic Eyes of Depth Perception... I wonder what would Tohno try if he saw Arc with those?

[–]Cheeseinflight 1 point2 points ago

I love how you can see him getting up at the end

[–]ecmmyers 1 point2 points ago

Maybe I'll just climb in.

[–]nano_ser 1 point2 points ago

"I'm gonna fly like an eagl.. MOM!"

[–]sagittarius_rising 1 point2 points ago

Such great form! I spent several days practicing layouts for ultimate to look like that!

[–]furrycatpoop 1 point2 points ago

Ah crap! As someone with no depth perception at all I can relate >_<

[–]Jakaerdor-lives 1 point2 points ago

And that's when we knew, little Timmy had a problem.

[–]wickens89 1 point2 points ago

Such an optimistic leap

[–]Axolotile 1 point2 points ago

sure is summer in here

[–]marmo518 1 point2 points ago

Upvote for holding his breath 3 steps before the leap.

[–]Warlach 1 point2 points ago

As someone with only one eye I'll be saving this now before my friends do...

[–]Raherin 1 point2 points ago

More like... Derpth perception.

[–]machomike22 1 point2 points ago

That's similar to missing your mouth with a fork when eating.

[–]Lethalmud 1 point2 points ago

Depth perception is for losers! Cyclops unite!

[–]_phobic 1 point2 points ago

Hope he's okay! If so, pls sign him up for footy. I believe he'll do well.

[–]AssCommander 1 point2 points ago

Holy shit watch his feet as he goes airborn

[–]CrazyPersonApologist 1 point2 points ago

Over-estimation of leaping ability.

[–]minget 1 point2 points ago

Derpth perception

[–]gui69gui69 1 point2 points ago

Can I ask something? Why is imgur on maintenance on some pictures only like this one? I can't access the URL because imgur is on maintenance. Does anyone have the same issue or is it just me?

[–]PaxSweatpants 1 point2 points ago

ONE EYE ONE EYE ONE EYE ONE EYE ONE EYE

[–]MrDino 1 point2 points ago

I love the title.

[–]gosuprobe 1 point2 points ago

probably can't swim anyway

[–]Mck367 1 point2 points ago

  1. laughed
  2. found it again using reddit search
  3. laughed again

[–]thebdecker9 1 point2 points ago

dolphin dive

[–]math2ndperiod 1 point2 points ago

Looks like his efforts (puts on glasses) fell short. Yyyyeeeaaahhhhhhhhhh

[–]TheeJoCanadian 1 point2 points ago

I could watch that .GIF for the next hour and still giggle like a school girl. Does that make me a bad person?

[–]ShortWhiteFriend 1 point2 points ago

This is my friend's younger brother. The video is legit.

[–]Tryer1234 1 point2 points ago

or maybe Derpth perception

[–]stephaniemcd 0 points1 point ago

[–]djivan 1 point2 points ago

Why didnt he just doubled jumped?

[–]d03boy 5 points6 points ago

Good thing he landed on the floaty thing that was conveniently placed where he jumped.

[–]gynoceros -1 points0 points ago

Except it doesn't move like a floaty thing as he's getting up.

[–]jsneaks -2 points-1 points ago

Why do you so desperately need to believe that this wasn't staged?

[–]nukefudge 2 points3 points ago

maybe he's trying to keep his eyes closed because he doesn't want water in them. it seems like he's holding his breath also?

[–]slyfox1908 0 points1 point ago

Could be he usually wears glasses and didn't want them to get wet.

[–]ghostofanimus 1 point2 points ago

Looks like many of my posts.

[–]olygimp 0 points1 point ago

ok, clearly he jumps on to some sort of pad, you see the end of it come up.

[–]Alltra 0 points1 point ago

derp perception

[–]dougthedoug 0 points1 point ago

give this a month and the title "How it feels trying to make the front page". upvotes.

[–]xavyre 0 points1 point ago

His eyes are closed.

[–]chunkmonkey 0 points1 point ago

This is me trying to get to the front page.

[–]CRLBRKER 0 points1 point ago

Too soon junior!

[–]I_DUCK_FOGS 0 points1 point ago

It's funny how he just gets up like "whatever" at the end. At that age you can do shit like that and be fine. If I did that now, I'd be rolling on the ground in so much pain.

[–]amc-CR 0 points1 point ago

clearly he was jumping on another soft-surface thing. kids love karma too.!!!

[–]vipen 0 points1 point ago

As a person who has a lazy left eye I find this offensive.

[–]xXConfuocoXx 0 points1 point ago

I read this as "Death Perception" - i was not disappointed.

[–]hairyassandballs 0 points1 point ago

that kid sucks almost as bad as this kid

Funny

[–]forsakendonkey 0 points1 point ago

I keep watching and hoping he'll make it... this time.

[–]partyontheleft 0 points1 point ago

I got depth of perception in my text y'all

[–]parrotsnest 0 points1 point ago

misread as 'death perception'... eyes... failing me.

[–]goobtron 0 points1 point ago

It helps if you open your eyes before jumping.

[–]tx_brandon 0 points1 point ago

Depth seemed fine, aim was off.

[–]anonymuscles 1 point2 points ago

This is going to be another of those things I see on the front page tomorrow morning, isn't it.

[–]ColdStainlessNail -1 points0 points ago

More like "derpth perception."

[–]bluejaye 0 points1 point ago

Totally read as that the first time- was hoping someone else did as well!

[–]BananaBusiness 0 points1 point ago

Look Mommy. I'm FLYYYING.

[–]none4gretchenweiners 0 points1 point ago

That's what I figured! He was probably trying to fly. Reality is a rude awakening at that age.

[–]CountDunkula 0 points1 point ago

It's great watching little kids completely overestimate their ability to do things. I'm sure in his head that was a gigantic leap that lands him perfectly in the center of the pool.

[–]I_Pack_Too_Much -1 points0 points ago

Depth perception I N C E P T I O N The image shows a kid who at first glance failed to perceive depth and missed the pool. This is a 2D gif. You look again and realize your own lack of depth perception made you to miss the yellow mat in the back. ..[8] And then you realize the depth of this post. where it becomes circular logic and infinite inception in every dimension
