Useful little app

the420bakery · 2012-09-06T16:30:58+00:00

I was so disappointed it doesn't actually exist...

blam10 · 2012-09-06T16:19:02+00:00

If there's more than a 20 second delay, it chirps out, "I knew you wouldn't do it. Bitch-ass".

TommyPot · 2012-09-06T07:44:52-07:00

"do it man it'll be awesome"

great, now smart phones give /r/shittyadvice

Quack445 · 2012-09-06T17:18:44+00:00

I was sad to go to the app store and personally search for this, only to find it doesn't exist and I will never know when a jump is safe.

Xabster · 2012-09-06T11:05:38-07:00

Make it say "do a backflip!"

HuntConsMarc · 2012-09-06T17:28:15+00:00

I was at the top of the roof of my dorm and realized I dont know how far jump may be, I went to download this app to find out it doesn't exist...I jumped anyways...comments from the ambulance

fdsdfg · 2012-09-06T18:27:49+00:00

As I clicked, I hoped this wouldn't be some crappy photoshop of a fake app stolen from cracked or collegehumor.

I'm not sure why I hope

tstevensonrocks · 2012-09-06T17:55:10+00:00

I believe this is from CollegeHumor.

Danielsydeon · 2012-09-06T18:10:04+00:00

It needs to post to all your social media afterwards, "such and such jumped 15 feet, and broke his ankles. Get the app today!"

gr33nss · 2012-09-06T18:24:05+00:00

This is old. This was part of a thread college humor did with a few other fake apps that would be funny if they actually existed. If someone remembers think link I'd appreciate a post because I don't remember the others.

nwsreddit · 2012-09-06T10:54:20-07:00

It has two suggestions for the faithful customer: "go for it, brah" and "Nah dude better have a couple brewskis first"

wtfmanquestionmark · 2012-09-06T18:35:40+00:00

This app would be impossible because the phone doesn't know how high up you actually are. You would have to place a marker on the ground and then it could tell how far away that is by knowing it's base size, but that would defeat the purpose.

griffith12 · 2012-09-06T18:41:10+00:00

Takes all the fun out of jumping off stuff.

I_Will_Be_That_Guy · 2012-09-06T11:43:31-07:00

If this app was real, i would hope that every conclusion regardless of the distance would be "do it man it'll be awesome"

SchAmToo · 2012-09-06T11:44:15-07:00

If this existed in DayZ, anything more than 1 inch would result in "Broken Legs, hope you hit a hospital recently"

druthers25 · 2012-09-06T11:47:38-07:00

I instantly searched for that

fragmasster · 2012-09-06T11:53:51-07:00

This could be done if phones had better speakers and mics. But they are improving significantly, so I guess it could be done within a year or so. I'll give a try once I find a phone with a mic that pick up low frequency waves.

Deltafire · 2012-09-06T11:59:42-07:00

Thanks for the Re-post.

Jeoffry_Baratheon · 2012-09-06T12:09:23-07:00

Broken ankles would suck.

I like the one that measures how high you can throw your phone

colinstanford · 2012-09-06T12:12:03-07:00

Do it, man. It'll be awesome!

App inspires famous last words:

"Dude, hold my beer.. this is gonna be awesome."

Tuck and roll!

thelandofnarnia · 2012-09-06T12:30:19-07:00

Is there a control for if the camera is pointed down at a body of water or trampolene?

ivanocan · 2012-09-06T12:37:42-07:00

I spent 20 minutes looking for it on the app store before I checked these comments

Contero · 2012-09-06T19:43:48+00:00

This is the worst photoshopped picture of all time.

evilpuppy67 · 2012-09-06T12:48:52-07:00

I believe I saw this multiple months ago along with the armpit smell tester?

cheese007 · 2012-09-06T19:57:41+00:00

I've heard of an idea for an app like this, it was called "How deep is this hole". You just dropped your iPhone down the hole and it would tell you.

zetobyx · 2012-09-06T20:13:44+00:00

this app would be so cool. itd get rid of all the YOLO idiots of the world.

Aguyinshades · 2012-09-06T20:22:27+00:00

Hey this is a great idea

MollySmithMS · 2012-09-06T13:39:48-07:00

This is college humour so this app isn't real. College humour is hilarious!

CystalLily · 2012-09-06T13:40:53-07:00

Replying for the save ^{_^} Yaaay for potentially morbid apps!

I should have read the comments. Very dissaponted. I looked for about 15 minutes:(

Fangs78 · 2012-09-06T21:18:37+00:00

This was made for tripping

TheAquaFox · 2012-09-06T14:24:23-07:00

I have found a really easy way to tell the distance of a drop. Take a small pebble or even spit and time the fall with your phone. Do it a few times and take the average. Then plug in the time to the Mechanics equation where the distance will equal 1/2(9.8)(time^2). Distance will be in meters.

adaminc · 2012-09-06T21:34:41+00:00

You could make an app like this, using the camera and the accelerometer.

Camera takes a picture, tells you to move the phone x mm to the right or left, and takes another picture. It can then calculate distance using trig and stereo vision algorithms.

CCTeam · 2012-09-06T14:52:22-07:00

15 ft,broken ankles? Sorry, but i jump that down every other day when playing ball.

StartlingRT · 2012-09-06T14:55:26-07:00

15 feet =/ broken ankles

This was one of the first pictures I saw on reddit, and I am still waiting for it to happen.

Im not a doctor, but i think when they thank god, they are thanking "good 'ol doctors". I think that is correct punctuation. If not, please correct it.

Md1420 · 2012-09-06T23:21:18+00:00

Rotfl. Since I jumped from about 15feet awhile back and broke half the bones in my foot- this post has a special place in my heart.

tokerdytoke · 2012-09-06T23:41:41+00:00

If i ever have to escape from rogue agents this will be my go too app

SurprisedSquee · 2012-09-07T00:36:48+00:00

I broke both my ankles from falling 15 feet last year. If only I'd had this to at least warn me!

The_Hammer_Q · 2012-09-07T01:14:35+00:00

This needs to be made!

Who needs common sense when you have this app. Lol
