That golfball one is fake

[–]whatwouldscoobydo 6 points7 points ago

I was wondering about that. Is it made of a different material? Or?

[–]medicinalkfc 6 points7 points ago

I'm not sure because i saw that it was fake in another thread when this gif was posted before. I guess you should probably take my claim with a grain of salt since i don't really know its fake, i just read that it was. Sorry

[–]crazyike 2 points3 points ago

It is, there are youtubes of what it really looks like out there. Golf ball doesn't deform anywhere near that much.

[–]SaloL 4 points5 points ago

Here's an one I believe

[–]blakeready710 2 points3 points ago

It's some sort of dense foam I believe

[–]whatwouldscoobydo 0 points1 point ago

neat-o.

[–]imthehacker -1 points0 points ago

That's like saying, well its not Oxygen, so is it another element?

Nope, its fucking magic.

What other options are there? If its clearly not a golf ball, then its clearly made of something else.

[–]TheFrostedHeavens 11 points12 points ago

Is the person with the waterballoon Gavin from Rooster Teeth?

[–]Road_Block 10 points11 points ago

It is, and I believe the Axe can getting the axe is Slow Mo Guys as well.

[–]Purplemustachedonkey 7 points8 points ago

The popcorn one the "axe" one and the waterballoon one are all from the slow mo guys.

[–]CrazyFunPenguin 0 points1 point ago

Its actually Lynx btw.

[–]mattsprofile 6 points7 points ago

It is almost unbelievable that you know who Gavin is, yet don't know that he's been doing slow motion videos for a long time.

[–]TheMagicToolBus 3 points4 points ago

That popcorn kernel one always reminds me of a mutalisk hatching.

[–]kiwican 4 points5 points ago

What is up with the slinky one, where they seem to drop it but the bottom end of the slinky doesn't far until the top reaches it. It appears to sort of suspend itself in mid-air.

[–]i_ll_do_one 6 points7 points ago

The slinky has tension built in (i.e. elastic potential energy) that counteracts gravity. Explained here http://www.geekologie.com/2011/09/tension-vs-gravity-slomotion-streteched.php

[–]Legion2 1 point2 points ago

Or for a video from yours truly (Gavin) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rCw5JXD18y4

[–]TastyKayKs 3 points4 points ago

All I could think of while looking at these was "I THREW IT ON THE GROUND"

[–]JSaltsea 0 points1 point ago

the golf ball might be possible if it's throw at very high speed, otherwise i doubt it would flatten like that

[–]iShellfishFur 0 points1 point ago

I can now die happy... =')

[–]Goblicon 0 points1 point ago

The balloon one was awesome

[–]Keiokochan 0 points1 point ago

It took me at least 4 watches to realize what the 1st one was.

[–]PirateMug 0 points1 point ago

Headlight fluid.

[–]mike_Oxclong -1 points0 points ago

[–]habitats 0 points1 point ago

[–]Y_U_NO_KARMA_WHOR -1 points0 points ago
