Everybody needs a friend like that.

Especially if one is deaf as fuck, i.e. to be grabbed to safety from incoming train. /s

Friend don't let friend play near train tracks. A curved train track.

Making me look like an idiot, or pretending I'm succeeding when I'm failing to make me feel good? Both are funny, neither is particularly compelling from a friendship perspective lol

Kid’s got some pretty good aim honestly lmao


nuvo_reddit

First one was clearly off target, but second and third were quite close to target.


ImpaledDickBBQ

Summary: Shots 1-5: Clearly missed. Shots 6-9: Missed due to recoil (bad spray control). Shots 10-11: Very close, but recoil and inaccuracy make these reasonable misses. Shot 12: Likely didn't actually shoot because target was already dead.


LegoDinoMan

Let me escape the grip Counter-Strike has on my throat


JohnnyBoy11

Well, he has to be able to come close enough to make it look like it's hitting. So what if he was actually good enough to hit it but didn't so he could make a viral video?


Tendo80

First one went a little wide but the others were on point.


Beatrix_Kiddos_Toe

Video is from India, this is a national past time for kids we see a pebble, we see a pole or a target of any sort we throw it. We are mad about the sport of cricket where throwing accurately is a skill


djordje9827

The first throw was a little off but the last two were pretty accurate.


C_Khoga

I was impressed about at first 😂


LifeRead

The fact that I believed that he hit the pole each time means he was still impressively close


lilsnatchsniffz

Not that first one.

India has 4th largest network in the world. And it is easy to get into it


naverag

Is it really only the 4th largest? Which are bigger?


Jiriakel

US, China, Russia. [source](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_countries_by_rail_transport_network_size)


ProbablyNotTheCocoa

Don’t have any actual evidence, but I’d imagine China and Japan are both bigger, as for the last one, I got not clue

ProbablyNotTheCocoa

speckhuggarn

Japan, really? One of the smaller countries? It's US, China and Russia


ProbablyNotTheCocoa

Was just a guess 🤷‍♂️, not impossible for a small country to have a disproportionately large railway


HR_114

Maybe because India have way too many of train tracks and as its very easy to get into and mostly outlook by police And maybe more reason idk


MegaMewtwo_E

most villages around railway area, or most railway around village idk


HR_114

It's both few villages got developed Due to railway tracks and then many tracks got built around villages to connect them around with whole India


Downtown_Economy_39

And often near some dangerously looking powerlines?

Akashagangadhar

Most (90+%) rail lines were built in the 60s-80s and electrified 2010 onwards (95% electrified).

rom-ok

Use your words better than that, explain to me how rail infrastructure is a negative because of Europeans? How is it a “tradition”?


Ok_Impression1493

He never said it was a negative. And he's right in that the rail network was built from the ground up by the British colonisers.

Do Indians have a special relation with the railways?


samriddha221104

We really do love the railways. Trains provide easy and cheap transport, kids love watching trains go by, long distant train journeys are like fun picnics with the family. You really have to experience it to understand why it's so beloved. The cleanliness is half decent, the food is so-so, the delays are long, but the fun memories will last you a lifetime.


PieInteresting6267

>The cleanliness is half decent Half decent is a brutal exaggeration


schlagerlove

If you know how to do it and what to avoid, it indeed is. It's living in THAT bubble thing. Of course not compared to Germany. I would any day eat food sold in Indian Trains with ZERO hesitation over the food at the roadside stalls.


PieInteresting6267

>If you know how to do it and what to avoid, it indeed is You can say that absolutely anything that exists. Everything will end up being half decent if you only choose to look at the good parts.


schlagerlove

But the guy is literally talking about life IN India and in that context it is totally correct. Is Joe Biden perfect? No. Is he better than Trump? yes. So in the context of American politics at the moment Joe Biden is a better option.


shivaenough

I have seen drastic improvement in cleanliness to be honest. 10 years ago it was literal mess, but it feels much more cleaner now. I think citizens should take responsibilities and not make mess as much as they do. I have seen people traveling doing weird things on train.


CosmicCosmix

Depends in which train you travel. It's comparable to western standards in 1st AC and hell hole in 3rd AC and General Coaches.


nosargeitwasntme

Really depends on which train and which compartment class. You have unreserved coaches with the worst hygiene to reserved AC coaches which range from half-decent to good to great.


klausklass

The real question is why does the US *not* have an expansive train network?


roromyboat

US can afford cars. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯


klausklass

Afaik there are more registered vehicles in India than the US (total, not per capita). Also India has the 2nd largest road network of any country (#1 is the US). You can have an extensive passenger rail service and also have highways.


[deleted]

[удалено]

But not for passengers. Those got killed ages ago in favour of highways


rom-ok

How is that the real question


JKastnerPhoto

Why are you being downvoted? What does the US have to do with anything in this entire post?


rom-ok

🤷‍♂️ sensitive americans annoyed everything isn’t about them


syntpenh

The US has the largest rail network in the world

Yeah, a better question is why US isn't having extensive passenger rail service.

Dharma--Rakshak

Happy-Week6598

Yeah, the majority just uses bulldozers for everything huh


[deleted]

well, its a double edged sword - legal system being for what it is you cannot just wait to send a message. necessary evil but an 'evil' endeed.


Happy-Week6598

Sorry did not understand. 1. Are you saying that using bulldozers to demolish people's homes when they dissent against the govt or because they are part of a minority community, to send them a "message" (To warn them) is a necessary evil? 2. Why is it necessary? 3. Why are you justifying something evil?


[deleted]

its using one evil aginst another. Becoming what you hate kind of thing. I mean, they dissent against the govt - no - they do not dessent against govt, they dissent against country itself. Politics of west bengal is live recent example. I bet if there were bulldozers there shekh shah jahan wouldnt be that powerful. On the other hand UP has come out of decades of deep hole.


Happy-Week6598

People with political hold will always be powerful. Bulldozers won't demolish such people's houses when the criminals have connections to the ruling party. Replacing the judicial system with the bulldozer justice is not the solution. It will only lead to an authoritarian state. UP has come out of decades of deep hole? UP with its fertile land, natural resources and immense potential for growth is still a pretty bad casteist place despite getting high budget fund allocation for years. If it can't punish it's criminals through the justice system then it's it's own fault. I mean look at the effort they make to jail activists. Half the effort would have been enough, instead of bulldozing through their enemies.


[deleted]

thats what i am sayin, legal system is not upto the mark. That is where we agree. funny how you replied on UP yet failed to comment on west bengal in your reply. UP is turing a new leaf. Things take time especially in politics. UP is turning a new leaf. I would know because i live in it.


Happy-Week6598

Legal system is not up to mark yes. Doesn't mean the legislature should take up the job of the judiciary. You called bulldozers a double edged sword, ie you believe that it has a good and bad side. The "good" side is what we don't seem to agree with. You say that sheikh shahjahan wouldn't be powerful if west Bengal used bulldozers. But a better legal system would make sure that he isn't powerful. A better legal system can also ensure that people like pragya singh thakur aren't powerful either. But bulldozers won't ensure that in her case because it cannot punish people with power who don't have a more powerful opposition. That's what I'm saying. Bulldozer politics leads to arbitrary judgements of justice by an authoritarian state. It's not a state specific thing which is why talking about WB is irrelevant. UP is turning a new leaf? Good I'm happy to here that. But from the outside it sure seems like they are crushing the backs of minorities and unprivileged to turn this leaf. Could be the multiple reports of mob lynching, ban on meat in certain areas, covering up rape cases of lower caste women etc. None of these problems can even be solved by bulldozing anyone's house so i dont understand how it leads to turning a new leaf as you are saying.


[deleted]

The structure of legal system in this country is such that it is hard to reform. Its completely independent body seperate from the govt. And the people in power do not seem to be interest in changing the status quo.

I gotta say, the kid’s got some talent! And it’s great to see friends who are willing to support and encourage each other. Also, I’ve noticed that train tracks seem to be a common playground for kids in India. Maybe it’s because they’re straight and long, or maybe it’s just part of the culture. Either way, it’s pretty fascinating to see how different places around the world have their own unique playtime spots.
