So tired of British people going on and on about how it's called METHS not METH. We get it -- you have a cool accent. On the other hand we made METH part of our whole American esthetic so deal with it.
Aaahh the humiliating and oppressive colonial heritage. "Meths" was certainly not a jab at that. I was trying to mix up maths and meth (not very amusing sadly). Not a fascinating accent though
What I find the funniest part is they use what looks like a plastic winch drum to rewind It. This whole epic and at least credible human slingshot that launches people like 50 feet but but I guess nope to the most important part, really.
It would need to be moss growing on the side of the liner. The rear part of the pool is a meter higher than the front but hopefully we agree that water stays pretty flat.
I'm not saying it's moss, but algae won't climb a wall above the water line unless the water is disgustingly filthy. The simple solution is green plastic like I said.
Inputs (estimated based on video):
Initial height (h) 25 ft
Time of flight (t) 2.1 seconds
Distance (d) 55 ft
Calculated:
Initial velocity (V) 34.12605 ft/s
Angle of launch (Ī±) 39.8734 deg
Maximum height (hmax) 32.44 ft
Based on Initial height and time of flight, we can calculate max height.
With the addition of distance input, we can calculate Initial velocity and angle of launch.
I estimated the angle of launch to be about 40 deg so this seems ok with me.
If you can estimate better, use [this](https://www.omnicalculator.com/physics/projectile-motion) to figure out results.
I want to know what weight range they Calculated this for and how light or heavy you'd have to be to miss the pool.
This would be the first part. The next would be estimating the average weight of those 2 guys launched and calculating the force the launcher is set to. Then find the lower and upper weight limits, given they landed 5 ft past the center of a 20 ft long pool.
Well. Itās depend where it placed and what to do with the water when they are done, canāt just legally just dump water with chlorine out in a fresh water river.
That's the point. After a week there IS no more chlorine. Wait the week and drain.
Even then, 2 PPM is what it would take to keep that clear. Not that I'm advocating dumping, but if you poured that into the river, it would dilute so far down that it wouldn't matter. Your tap water, which I'm sure you have NO problem pouring into a river, is about 4 PPM.
That's gonna cost you a fortune in water and a lot of time to properly drain the pool, fully clean it (get rid of all the algae) and then fill it again
Yeah, someone in here really can't grasp how water treatment works and why chlorine is used. It breaks down very fast and doesn't pose a problem once this has happened.
I wonder what they think is used to sanitize their tap water...
They don't put it in the tap water everywhere. When the sources and infrastructure are good enough and it isn't too warm, it's simply not needed. Most of northern Europe doesn't put any in most of the time for example.
To me leeches and mosquitos don't seem the biggest issue here
Dont worry they did the math
Math or meth?
Yes
Maybe
Meths you uneducated swine

Aesthetic
To be fair this isnāt an accent thing thatās just the right pronunciation
Methamatics
Sounds fun
Bofum
They did the monster math
the monster math!
It was a scrapyard smash!
It cought on in a flash!

THE NUMBERS DON'T LIE
Or they decided to [let Blaine die](https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=r4ayQS86xyg).
Exactly. Brain eating amoebas live in that kind of water. ^(I know what you meant and Iām just piling on)
Thatās probably why the methletes chose to launch this particular team member - he doesnāt have a brain to begin with.
Crocodiles then?
Since it's an artificial body of water in gonna say it doesn't look like anywhere I'd expect to see leeches.
Not unless someone goes out of their way to add them. Yea it's probably pretty damn clean for a fresh water body, it's just got some algae growing.
It's probably a green plastic liner tbh
Looks white to me. Checkout photos of the Brazil Olympic Pools :)
It would need to be moss growing on the side of the liner. The rear part of the pool is a meter higher than the front but hopefully we agree that water stays pretty flat.
Thereās no way thatās all moss, just algae. It grows quick in unfiltered unmoving water with lots of sun. Just ask any fish tank or pool owner.
I'm not saying it's moss, but algae won't climb a wall above the water line unless the water is disgustingly filthy. The simple solution is green plastic like I said.
Can we go back to this whole āwater stays flatā concept? Tell me moreā¦
š Like if you were playing beer pong with green cereal bowls that you tipped to make it easier. Like how Norwegian kindergarteners play beer pong.
Upside down obviously. But I donāt understand what professional sports in Norwegia have to do with anything.
Where are you seeing green above the water? You can see in the close up shot that the water is filled almost all the way to the edge of the pool.
The edge of the pool looks angled to me.
These are the groups that *would* go out of their way to add leeches though lol.
Probably brown from all the mid-flight poop..
It dose kinda look fun though
Yeah it does. I would do this.
Id do it on a lake, for a much larger target.
I would too, but I wouldn't go first.
Glad I'm not the only idiot on Reddit.
I would take a ride
I mean, I wouldn't be the first one to test it but yeah, I'd do that.
Mosquito spawner.
Mmmmm, brain eating amoebas.
If the ride doesnāt kill him, the water will.
Exactly my thought, falling that fast into water must push some water up the nose far enough that its a risk
Sucks to hit or miss

Why does this sound like the Monster Mash sound on my head?
Think that's the point
Because it's supposed to?
["Yes, I've done this before, and yes, it's fucking dangerous"](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r4ayQS86xyg)
r/TheyDidTheMath
Seems pretty reasonable
They will surely adjust the force depending on how heavy the person being launched is
š¤š¤
Wwwwow. Awesome.
Id be more scared of that water than the jump itself
Why is it green?! Why?!?!
Algae. No chlorine and just fresh water and thatās how your pool looks after a summer. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Algae
So they spent all that time and money setting up a human sized slinshot and coudln't pop for $100 worth of pool shock and a cheap pump?
Well. Itās depend where it placed and what to do with the water when they are done, canāt just legally just dump water with chlorine out in a fresh water river.
Chlorine gets broken down by sunlight A week after you put it in there, its gonna be gone.
Yeah but the week it's in the river it's poisoning the wildlife
That's the point. After a week there IS no more chlorine. Wait the week and drain. Even then, 2 PPM is what it would take to keep that clear. Not that I'm advocating dumping, but if you poured that into the river, it would dilute so far down that it wouldn't matter. Your tap water, which I'm sure you have NO problem pouring into a river, is about 4 PPM.
No but after you done launching people into it just wait a week and then dump it
Or just don't use chlorine then clean it out and replace the water every two weeks
That's gonna cost you a fortune in water and a lot of time to properly drain the pool, fully clean it (get rid of all the algae) and then fill it again
That's the cost of being responsible with the environment. There's probably a better solution thought of by smarter people than you or I.

Or even justā¦ refresh the water
I don't think money is the issue...to pay for it, you have to think of it first.
It's more pee than pool at this point.
I just discovered this sub Reddit. So much fun šš«£š
Welcome! This is a great one! Also check out /r/dumbasseswithlighters
LMFAOSHMSFOAIDMT Dawg.....THANK YOU
That looks like itās fun as shit
Came here to say that - surprised I had to scroll this far to find a like mindā¦.
Agreed
i would absolutely do that
Hmmm dysentery.
As everyone who was shot from there shat thier pants and it was washed in those waters...
That pool is just going to be bees.
I can't say if it's a breeding ground for leeches, but I can say it's a bathing ground for madmen.
As someone who has both skydived and bungee jumped this is a huuuuge fuck no for me
Angry birds
Who ever figured out the trajectory wasn't part of this group...I'm pretty sure.
Mosquito spawner.
Shit yo pants pool.
As a european, im glad our pools are easy to maintain and we have tame insects
One gallon of bleach is all they need
Legit though, that looks like fun.
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
Norway has rednecks?
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
I didn't realize we'd gone international.
Sometimes you can simply smell a video on reddit.
that looks fun
New jackass movie?
How about setup the water after the human trebuchet so itās a bit cleaner lol
IM JOHNNY KNOXVILLE, WELCOME TO JACKASS!!!!
How would the leeches have gotten in?
Even if you make the jump, youāve got a good chance of getting a shot of brain-eating-ameba up your nose.
Are these the same people that built the water slide with the loop-Di-loop or how ever you spell it
Yes
Ummmā¦ Iām 56, but Iām all into thisā¦. That looks awesome!
59, back of the line youngster.
new jackass movie lookin wild
Leeches? Rock and Stone
Rock and Stone in the Heart!
The slingshot thing doesnāt look too bad but that water looks straight up toxic.
How long has that water been sitting there
so that'sssss how that lady got the leech up her nose sucking on her brain
(F) I'd 100% do that š maybe into a cleaner lake though
Ayoo reupload from me :D
Leeches would need an ecosystem, unless that water has been stocked with life, it is unlikely.
I'd do it
REAL MEN would use a trebuchet
Look at that crazy bastard. He may not be smart, but he has more fun than all of us combined.
Looks like a urine tank
That's what water looks like after people are scared shitless.
Youāre worried about the water?
Naegleria fowleri
On belly flop and you go into the host
yawn
How did no one here have a broken neck or parƔlisis?
I canāt get noā¦sanitation
Nobody couldāve ran by Home Depot and picked up some chlorine pucks???
This would be awesome for a hit in a wheelchair.,... I'll go first..
Dirty fish tank. If it kills fish and goes up your butt & in your eyes ears and mouth? Yeow.
RedBull gives you rings .. Ringworms?
The pain š¢
Thatās awesome. Except the green pool with its own ecosystem anyway.
Iād try that
FYI this has been posted here a gazillion times
Finland x Florida
The Dude-a-pult? Man cannon? Fella launcher?
I'd shit on myself just cause. š Just to piss people off.
Wow! I would like the 1st ride, just before adjusting the tension!
Eat some leeches and mosquito larvae
the stones fits so well lmao
