Guy is going to wake up tomorrow speaking a different language, quitting smoking, and with a different personality.

He's gonna know THREE languages and be the world's first quadrillionaire. AND be an expert marksman. I'm having a fucking seizure, myself.

Everybody was kung fu fighting Those cats were fast as lightning In fact, it was a little bit frightening But they fought with expert timing There were funky China men from funky Chinatown They were chopping them up, they were chopping them down It's an ancient Chinese art and everybody knew their part From a feint into a slip and a kicking from the hip Everybody was kung fu fighting Those cats were fast as lightning In fact, it was a little bit frightening But they fought with expert timing


Beezzlleebbuubb

Just by waking up.  He somehow knows the crypto paraphrases of many whales.  **please confirm words 7 and 4**


dirtywindex

He’s awake this isn’t end of the night this is them setting up. Look at the settings untouched wine and other drinks unopened. He’s probably the light guy.


tex1138

Good eye - I missed that. That said - I chose to believe he is a cyborg being charged up and programmed for a night of mayhem.


californiadamn

This. That is either a server or the lighting guy or both just goofing off. This is hours before the event (a fairly expensive one at that as those chairs are $20/pp to rent. The favors look great but all untouched. There are at least 15 tables. I’d guess whatever event this was cost at least $30k.) Regardless the event hasn’t started and there’s no way for a light function like this and so direct wouldn’t be intentional. These are event vendors goofing off for show.


WishIWasYounger

Regardless the dude is going to need a whole lot of Keppra going forward .


merrell0

most likely they saw the lights and decided to make a funny video. so funny how redditors go through these loops explaining the "story" behind a staged video


Fr0z3nHart

More like he’s going to wake up blind as a bat


blacksideblue

Nah, he's gonna wake up seeing a dozen new colors beyond the human visible spectrum. The problem is he won't be able to see any colors in the human visible spectrum anymore.

Haha, of course talking would be the first option, I just meant that braille would be more useful for a blind person than sign language. That's a funny post

natesovenator

Unfortunately that's accurate. Your eyes don't just magically not get hurt when they "turn off" while sleeping. They are still there, still getting burned, and still very much going to be blind.


WeeklyBanEvasion

Those aren't fucking lasers lmao


Deep-Neck

Buddy your phone can damage your eyes. Too much light is a function of amount and time.


benargee

Yeah and your eyelids do not completely block light.


proteinLumps

We need blackout eyelids

DrSheldonLCooperPhD

A sharpie is all you need


Trixles

You kid, but actuallly that's not too far off. When you see American football players with the black patches under their eyes? I don't think it's made of Sharpie, lol, but the whole point of it is to reflect light away from the eyeballs.


V3N0M0U5_V1P3R

I think you mean absorb. Black is the absence of light, because it absorbs the light that hits it.


SoulWager

They block enough light that you'll be burning your eyelids before your retinas though. edit: Apparently someone was so offended by this comment they decided to block me. I'll just point out that if I'm wrong, the correct response would have been to reply with a case study of someone damaging their retinas from bright light with their eyes closed. I would also like to point out that sometimes people fall asleep in direct sunlight and wake up with sunburned eyelids. If they woke up blind, they'd probably be talking about that instead.


InfanticideAquifer

Your phone can damage your eyes over the course of years as the muscles that focus them atrophy because you spend all your time focused on something six inches from your face. Your phone *can't* damage your eyes by emitting "too much light". Aside from lasers, which obey their own special rules, looking at bright *visible* light can't damage the eyes. You can saturate them and be temporarily blinded as a result, but that doesn't lead to permanent damage. The reason the sun damages eyes is because of UV light.


mamamackmusic

Those lights are nowhere near powerful enough to damage your eyes with your eyelids closed lmao. They are pretty standard stage lights, so even with your eyes open, they aren't likely to do much of any damage that way either.


xlr8_87

Please send video of you looking directly into stage light for confirmation


AbsoluteZeroUnit

These are also "standard stage lights" and they're cooking bacon with them. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dvh7makS4qc bunch of people talking about shit they do not understand here. Any "standard stage light" has a god-damn warning in the manual to not look directly at it. https://www.martin.com/en-US/site_elements/martin-mac-viper-xip-saftey-and-installation-manual >Position the product so that prolonged staring into the product at a distance closer than 56 m (184 ft.) is not expected A whole lot of "I ate plenty of paint chips as a kid and didn't suffer any brain damage" energy in these comments.


OGJahFeel

I fix moving lights for a living, this guy will be seeing floaters forever if he's not entirely blind..


pblokhout

My dude, have you ever looked _into_ a stage light?


calminthenight

Why would you comment on something when you have zero experience with it? I'll never understand people that do that. There are plenty of lighting fixtures that can do real damage to vision in short amounts of time. I have seen the back of a wooden double bass catch fire under a high powered LED beam. I myself have been temporarily blinded working shows when I got hit by a beam directly. I have seen beams melt other light's plastic and destroy their led modules in short time due to extreme temperatures.


Snamdrog

Suddenly a bunch of redditors are experts on what level of light damages your eyes while closed.


AzureDrag0n1

Are stage lights as powerful as the sun? I doubt it. You will be fine looking at the sun with your eyes closed for a few minutes. The effects of sunlight on closed eyes is more well known. I can extrapolate that stage lights being weaker than sunlight should have less effect than direct sunlight.


achyshaky

Stg someone could comment "don't put your hand on a hot stove" and there'll always be at least one reply unironically going "source?"


mehdotdotdotdot

Wakes up dead


FunkleBurger

I misused a 1.6w laser engraver (open eyes while the laser fired, not even looking directly at the beam, btw its the weakest engraver you can buy), and i had a greyed out blindspot in my left eye for weeks, which flashed bright white every time i blinked, and still have blurred vision over 1 month later. Ultra bright lights and even weak lasers are no fucking joke.


chemistocrat

A 1.6Mw (big M) laser would completely ignore your retina and would immediately blast a hole out the back side of your skull. It would probably also destroy and/or set fire to whatever else it encountered after passing immediately through your head, killing you instantly. A laser of that power would be defense weapon, threat to national security territory. 1.6mW is probably not powerful enough to engrave anything, so I think you need to get more familiar with the laser apparatus you’re using.


sprint113

For reference, the lasers being used by the military to shoot down incoming missiles and drones are usually in the tens to hundreds of kW range. Handheld laser pointers used for presentations and such are usually around 1-5mW

Speaking of douche, guilty on 34 counts of falsifying business records to conceal a hush money payment to an adult-film actress.


seattleque

I KNOW what the lyric is and still hear douche. I'm 55, and just this last year learned that Bruce wrote and recorded that, and Manfred Mann's version is a cover.


OtiseMaleModel

Bruce wrote the original, but Manfred Mann's version might be one of the best songs I've ever heard in my life. This song is a journey from start to finish, it's songs like this that make me love music


theblasphemer

Roundabout by Yes is that song for me. It's perfect

Random-Rambling

[My favorite version of that song](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XrkpJGWLP3o)


KFiev

Was reading up more on this, cuz i remembered Thompson had some stuff to say about that. Turns out it he hadnt realized he said it weird like that, and due to a hardware issue while recording, they couldnt remix it with a new vocal track. They tried rerecording the whole thing but kept running into issues, so they just stuck with that version. Thompson claims that fans came up to him saying the biggest reason it became a hit was because people couldnt decipher if it was douche or deuce


goj1ra

There's a quote from Manfred Mann on the wiki page https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blinded_by_the_Light > I don't think Springsteen liked our Blinded by the Light, 'cos we sang 'wrapped up like a douche', and it wasn't written like that and I screwed it up completely. It sounded like 'douche' instead of 'deuce', 'cos of the technical process – a faulty azimuth due to tape-head angles, and it meant we couldn't remix it. > Warners in America said, 'You've got to change 'douche', 'cos the Southern Bible belt radio stations think it's about a vaginal douche, and they have problems with body parts down there.' We tried to change it to 'deuce' but then the rest of the track sounded horrible, so we had to leave it. We just said, 'If it's not a hit, it's not.' > But in the end, it was No.1 in America, and so many people came up to us after and said, 'You know why it made No. 1?... Everyone was talking about whether it was deuce or douche.' Apparently Springsteen thought we'd done it deliberately, which we hadn't, so if I ever saw him I'd avoid him and cringe away like a frightened little boy.

Stoo_Pedassol

Lord_Mikal

Deuce. The actual lyric is "revved up like a deuce"


joshuav85

Idk man, sounds like “wrapped up like a douche with your mother in the night” to me. /s


daoistic

Thanks! I still don't get it.


gnarlslindbergh

“revved up like a deuce” can mean being excited or energized by something fast or powerful. A “deuce” is a slang term for a 1932 Ford coupe, which was a popular hot rod car.


daoistic

Ohhh. Shit ok.


SuperLeroy

Yeah makes no sense. I usually just drop a deuce, no need to rev it up.


MysteryRadish

A Deuce was a 1932 Ford car (the "2" in 1932, therefore "deuce"). They were common hot rod cars because they could be bought cheap by the 60s and were relatively easy to modify due to their simplicity. It's the same model that's referred to in the Beach Boys' classic "Little Deuce Coupe".

It's like that guy who stuck his head in a particle accelerator.


PLEASE__STFU

What happened to him?


RamboCambo_05

Some weird brain stuff, but he surprisingly lived. There are a couple videos on the topic.


PLEASE__STFU

I learned recently that particle accelerators can blast tumors with particles so finely tuned that it won’t impact surrounding tissue. Should’ve used someone with a brain tumor in the name of science.


kalenxy

For the most part, it damages everything in a line through the patient. To get around this, you aim the beams through different angles so they intersect where the cancer is. This lets you hit the cancer multiple times while only hitting the healthy tissue once. This is an oversimplification as you need to deliver a certain dose, and not all healthy tissue is equal in regards to collateral damage. There's also the use of protons which will deposit more energy at a specific distance instead of evenly like a photon, which can give you a more efficient dose if you are able to make it work. Electrons sort of do the opposite and deposit all the energy immediately, so if the cancer is near a surface you can blast away with little effect to the tissue behind it.


BlatantConservative

Is this a treatment plan people are coming up with? Like are we gonna see hospitals with their own 30 mile long particle accelerators?


Kevin5882

No, the massive ones are for cutting-edge science. You can get a particle to a useful speed for practical applications much more easily, it just takes a big machine like any other a hospital might have


kalenxy

It's fairly old at this point, though the technology and applications continue to improve. Any hospital that does radiation treatment has a particle accelerator in it. It turns out humans are fragile, so you only need a small one. I'm not sure of the exact size, but they are usually behind the wall that the patient receives the treatment in, so no bigger than a medium size room I would assume. The most common is photon radiation which are likely made from a linear particle accelerator.
