Re: the latest video you posted, why do these videos always open with a stupid slow-motion shot that looks like poo poo because they don't actually have a high-speed camera but just lower the frame rate on their 25fps video? For a subculture that prides itself on being different above all, hipsters really don't have any original ideas. Taking something good and intentionally making it look/feel/perform like poo poo isn't original.

Snowdens Secret posted:I would reference you to the tagline for the website http://www.fuzeblocks.com/ drat, that's a pretty good idea. Pity they're so loving expensive for something I could knock up in 20 minutes with about £10 of components. Sagebrush posted:I think that "showers of flaming sparks" is their understanding of "MANLY DANGEROUS MAN doing MANLY DANGEROUS STUFF" and that's the extent of what they've picked up on. Like in action movies where people have fights in "factories" that seem to produce nothing but showers of sparks and jets of steam. Or in video games where you can repair anything by pointing a portable blowtorch at the part of it that makes sparks for a couple of minutes and it makes an electric arc buzzing noise for some reason and then presto the thing is done being fixed. Pretend I posted that YOSPOS quote about nerds desperately aping "grownup" behaviour with no real understanding of it here. TBH it extends to just about the entire hipster bike scene; why these type of people couldn't stick to Vespas like their ancestors I don't know.

I don't know man, what bugs me is how are they paying the rent? Rent in Brooklyn can be very expensive. I've hear figures of up to $100/sq ft

Everything Redditors do is that same talismanic grasping at symbols of adulthood and sophistication tinged with an air of desperately overthinking it while completely missing the point. "If I put my bike in an an abandoned warehouse and shower sparks all over my brazing goggles people will think I'm a rugged specimen of old-fashioned industrial masculinity, even though what I'm doing is detrimental to the bike and also I'm wearing my sister's jeans."
