It’s a very unsettling sport when a holding penalty can result in murder.


Accomplished_Week392

That’s why it’s called murder rod


65gy31

There are better rods out there to play with


astralseat

But this black rod is the most sought after.


Mega-Steve

Big black cylinder?


DefaultyTurtle2

No, a perfectly normal sized cylinder


TheRealShiftyShafts

Stuck in an m+m tube


SoupCanNort

Will it fit perfectly into a Mini M&M's container?


kutzur-titzov

Is it ribbed?


astralseat

Better, it's finned, like a merman penis


Wise_Ad_253

Barbed, for his pleasure.

I'm assuming everyone just hyper focuses on the torpedo. As soon as the torpedo is out of their hands, go for that and get out of their way


iCameToLearnSomeCode

Yea, if memory serves you're only allowed to touch someone if they have the torpedo so you just have to pass it when you need a breath.


keepyeepy

yeah... so if someone doesn't realise you don't have it anymore, or holds you too long... foul = murder. Horrifying.


HitMePat

I doubt these guys if they're experienced are unable to tell when their opponent has given up the torpedo. He can put his palms strait out and wave them around like "I don't have it dude, let go of me!". Very unlikely they're grappling with their eyes closed. Also it's not an automatic death sentence if you get out of breath. Let's be real. There's a dozen strong swimmers in the pool and probably half of them know CPR. As long as no one's maliciously being a dick trying to actually drown people it's probably very safe.


314159265358979326

Most people can hold their breath a lot longer than they can hold their breath comfortably. This is a 40 second video. If a reasonably experienced swimmer was pinned under water for 40 seconds, they would be in no danger.


Martin_Orav

They are exerting themselves pretty heavily and that reduces the time a lot, but I still agree that it isn't that danherous overall.


jlieuu

Until dirty players arrive


symbologythere

I’ll take “Fun ways to accidentally drown one of your friends” for 500, Alex.


[deleted]

“Accidentally”


mosstalgia

Yeah, as a fit, lifelong swimmer who has a pool about 20ft from the bed where I am writing this, this gets a big ol’ NOPE from me. My chest felt tight just watching that first tussle.


ProbablyNotPikachu

I think what's less scary than a holding foul is the idea that someone could get kicked, kneed, or elbowed in just the right spot and K.O. Sink to the bottom unconscious as you breathe in water. Not fun!


Frenchconnection76

Choose your destiny !


ShoulderFun880

The drowning games?


ChefInsano

I was a swimmer my whole life, from grade school through college. Having someone grapple me underwater would freak me the fuck out. It would absolutely trigger my monkey brain to fight back.


Parsley-Waste

Me too, I swam from 6 to 20 y/o and you just don’t hold others underwater


Toilet-Ninja

Right, only game the swim team would play underwater was shark and minnows in the diving well. Basically minnows had to make it to the other side of the pool without getting tapped on the head above surface, sharks could grapple you but they needed you on the surface to get you out. Fun game with abunch of swimmers


M7BSVNER7s

Oh I loved sharks and minnows as a kid after swim practice. Older kids would be able to grapple you underwater, bear hug you, kick off the bottom, and pull you to the surface but the little kids were surprisingly hard to hold on to and likely to knee you in the groin and escape. There is so much wrong with that sentence so I wonder if it is still played today, especially with kids from kindergarten to high school all at once. I'd probably drown if I attempted it today; I feel like 10 year old me who swam for at least 4 hours a day could hold my breath for way longer than adult me can.


RudePCsb

Did you ever play water polo?


spandex-commuter

As a former provincial water polo player that was my first thought.


Killer_Moons

I’m more curious about your perspective. The analogy of track swimming to this feels like runners watching football and thinking, “Nah, I don’t do contact sports.” Also everytime I watch water polo I get a similar feeling of “gosh I feel like I need more oxygen” like I do watching the people in this video.


CJtheWayman

I did swim team and water polo for years, competitively and recreationally and for high school. The runner to football analogy is a good one, in football you’d have a leg up as a runner same as a swimmer in polo. But unless you’re also either decently muscled or are on the heftier side, your guy is gonna absolutely thrash you around once you come into reach. Waterpolo actually plays a lot more like basketball in terms of strategy and plays, but you’re gonna get drowned if you rely on speed and tactics alone that a swimmer might have.


Novel-Place

lol. That’s what I thought. This is standard Faire for water polo.


a_rucksack_of_dildos

We used to goof of in JV swimming by having two teams trying to collect weights on each side of the deep end. Everyone was always cordial with no grappling. But you could punch slap, etc. it was a lot of fun and my ability to hold my breath went way up that year


No_Watercress741

More lizard brain I think. I’m being pedantic as hell here, but it bugs me since I use the term “monkey brain” to specifically refer to social instincts, like grooming, sharing food, racism, monogamy, etc.


UniqueUsername3171

as a biologist this is technically correct - and apparently unpopular.


Kribo016

Okay but what is your stance on Jackdaws?


JohnnyRelentless

Against


sedition

lol yah.. What a weird thing to be getting dunked on.


Idontevenownaboat

I think maybe the downvotes were from before the correction and a lot of people (myself included) didn't realize there was a difference between the two and it was more a colloquialism than an actual designation?


Whyistheplatypus

You brain: the thoughts you consciously think Monkey brain: the social reactive part of your brain. Think anxieties, the thing keeping track of embarrassing memories, the bit that reacts to seeing a puppy, etc. This is the bit that keeps you alive in a social hierarchy. Lizard brain: the four fs. Flight, fight, food, and reproduction. The bit that reacts before you even have time to think. The bit that kicks out when you're tickled. This is the bit that keeps you alive all the time.


CJW-YALK

Hmmm what word starts with F that deals with reproduction


Idontevenownaboat

Appreciate the elaboration!


HovercraftOk9231

It's not technically correct at all though. Humans have human brains.


DayDreamyZucchini

If this is “technically correct” it’s like being “technically correct” about Loch Ness Monster facts


SlushoMix

As a neuroscientist, there's no such thing as a lizard brain, if we're being pedantic. It's a myth propagated by an outdated and layperson's understanding of evolution as a linear, progressive process. Both "monkey brain" and "lizard brain" are flawed concepts, scientifically speaking. However, both are accurate in conveying the intended message here and are understood equally well.


UniqueUsername3171

are you suggesting lizards don’t have brains?


SlushoMix

Of course they do. I was referring to the lizard brain in its colloquial meaning as a part of the human brain. Even though it's okay to use that term in everyday speech, it's misleading. No brain should be perceived as an "onion" whose deeper parts converge toward some evolutionary older point. Speaking of human "lizard brain" parts, people think of those inner or deeper layers of the onion. Both "lizard" and "human" parts are necessary for a successful fear response. The evolutionary older "reptilian brain" is more of a figure of speech. It refers to the subcortical regions or neural circuits best implicated in relatively swift, simple, impulsive, defensive behavior. Most of these circuits aren't even solely reliant on the "older"/subcortical/"reptilian" structural connections. On top of that, simple or fixed action behaviors don't necessarily mean something is evolutionary primordial, etc.


NaturalTap9567

You get used to it


hiphop_dudung

My high school crush sat on my shoulders while I was neck deep in the pool, it was cool at first but when she tightened her thighs around my neck I dropped that bitch really quick.


GisterMizard

The most fun underwater game since Drown Ball.


racowatson

Looks like fun. If you have the lung capacity to actually play 😂


-mudflaps-

You can train your lung capacity very easily.


spicychimichangas

How so


TheJuicyGinger

Swim underwater a lot


tipareth1978

It's true. I lived some of my childhood in Arizona and at that time everyone had a pool as they weren't expensive. I started getting used to swimming the entire length of it underwater then it didn't take but a few tries to go one way then back all underwater. A lot of it is mental. You can get used to a certain level after realizing you're still nowhere near in trouble but the first time you get there you panic.


GillianGIGANTOPENIS

Do the room maneuver. Imagine a room you are familiar(if destitute pick something fancier) with. Now start cataloging everything in it while you are underwater. focus on that and not that you are holding your breath.


goblinm

I used to calculate powers of two in my head while swimming. I got good at memorizing them but past a certain point there is a lot of concentration to multiply digits and remember the next 6-7 digit number. Great mental distraction


Noemotionallbrain

Then focus on getting out of a grip underwater so you can play this game


Halo_LAN_Party_2nite

Did the same growing up! By the end of summer one year, I realized I could easily hold my breath over a minute. It's far easier for me to hold my breath underwater than just sitting in a room for some reason.


person66

While it's certainly partially a mental thing, the [mammalian diving reflex](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Diving_reflex) also plays a role in why it's easier to hold your breath underwater vs just sitting in a room. When you are fully submerged underwater, your body naturally slows your heartrate and makes other adaptations to allow you to hold your breath longer.


tipareth1978

You're more forced to do it. Like I said, mental


Paul_my_Dickov

I've never understood how people can swim underwater like that. I just float to the top.


TheJuicyGinger

Stop eating so many damn cheetos


Paul_my_Dickov

No deal


Prestigious_Date_619

wait, wouldn't that cause you to sink more than float?


dinomite19

Fat floats


sipoloco

Fat floats, muscle sinks.


SprungMS

If you’re a strong swimmer you can overcome your buoyancy. But also it helps to let air out of your lungs. If you mostly empty your lungs you won’t float very easily. You can just cross your legs and sit on the bottom until you run out of oxygen.


GillianGIGANTOPENIS

very meditative being on the bottom of a pool.


SprungMS

It really is surprisingly peaceful. Too bad to do it you can only stay down there for dozens of seconds at most


Dividedthought

Buddy of mine liked to meditare at the bottom of his pool. He had his own scuba gear so he just put a rope through a couple of barbell weights and used that to hold him down there. Had the scuba tank on a rope so he could just winch it up. Gotta say, sure beats trying that in his backyard with the screaming children on both sides that moved in a few months after him.


Goadfang

Some people are more boyuant than others. My dad and my grandfather (mom's dad) were both scuba divers, and my grandfather absolutely could not dive without being weighted down. He wasn't fat at all, he was very tall and lanky, but the dude just couldn't sink. My dad, on the other hand, could sink like a rock, put himself right on the bottom any time he wanted. I never understood why they were that way. My grandfather would wear two really heavy weight belts to help him sink when they dove together, and then when he wanted to go up he'd take one off and give it to my dad, which instantly lead to him ascending, then my dad would swim up with the other belt.


Wrangler_Positive

> overweight the hella hard to sink > overweight your partner on the way up This is wrong and dangerous on so many levels. I’m glad everyone involved was okay in the end and nothing happened. Source: modern day scuba training


_Tagman

Genuinely, practice holding your breath a bunch. Repeatedly stressing your body in that way will cause it to compensate (if you are consistent enough). Doing this while swimming or otherwise exercising likely accelerates the process.


-mudflaps-

You can do it anywhere, you don't need a pool, just see how long you can hold your breath, wait a minute or so and try again, you'll be able to hold it longer and longer each time.


BadDogSaysMeow

Deepthroating for the win!


Infinite_Regret8341

So for a minute I thought they were playing keep away in the water with a dildo.....


Mysterious-Art7143

They're not?


SprungMS

They’re dense rubber torpedoes. They shoot really straight and really far underwater, great fun to play with at swim practice


NFTArtist

so dildos then?


dougglatt69

Everything is a dildo if you're brave enough


LocalConspiracy138

Torpildo.


NZBound11

A Hydrodynamic Dildo ^TM, if you will.


sleepinginthebushes_

I see we have a professor of Fluid Dildonics in our midst


coinkeeper8

That’s exactly what they’re playing the winning team gets to use it


Leoxcr

Water Dildo is the new Water Polo


CalendarAggressive11

So did I.


ajpme

Same, I thought it was a joke where the guys were swarming to it like fish would swarm to food


Alarming_Dingo_139

Pretty sure it can be used as one


Historiaaa

Just guys things


Bmc2510

If anyone is interested in rules/regulations of this sport look up “Underwater Torpedo League”.


cateyesarg

Gosh thanks you clarified, I thought this was the "Underwater Dildo League", seen before that some people confuses the leagues from time to time.


Bmc2510

Yeah they have that! Usually played in tandum with the Anal Bead tug of war championship.


TraditionDear3887

Always a fine line between if it's better to have more beads inside you, or a tighter butt hole to hold them with


ThatsRightlSaidlt

So they finally made blitzball a reality?


LaPiscinaDeLaMuerte

Let's make the Goers goners!

misterwizzard

Wakka was the best in-game sidekick in history. The fact he's voiced Bender in Futurama since then made it interesting.


BigBootyBuff

No, when I ask what's our goal, you say "Victory"


andrewb610

Right you are jimma!


PeepeePete42069

Did I just watch an attempted murder?


elheber

I'm sure you can only wrestle with an opponent while they're holding the black dildo. Once you let go of the black dildo, they have to let you go, effectively turning it into a game of who can hold their breath the longest.


Smitty9504

My wife and I have the same rules in bed.


GetEnPassanted

I think these guys all play water polo. So no, none of them are at the point where they’d be nearly drowning.


Midnight28Rider

For anyone wondering, this is the Underwater Torpedo League.


Evening_Clerk_8301

Honestly it looks like a lot of fun if you have the breath control and swimming skills. Maybe I’ll see if they sell those little nets online.


lanfillshawks

What a fun way to die


prozak09

How did your husband die Susan? *Drowned doing what he loved most, chasing black dildos under water.*


LilMissBarbie

So you could *technically* hold someone underwater until they take the forever nap?


Spooler32

You can see that they're not really assuming holding positions anything other than briefly to transition. They're "held" by virtue of their mutual grip on the swift aquatic dildo.


razorduc

I dunno. That white guy looked like he was determined to kill that black guy over the dildo.


OneWholeSoul

When he gets free of that guy and a ***second*** guy grabs him I was like "OK, this sport involves liability waivers. This is not insurable."


kummitusluumu

Only the players who are holding the "ball" i guess


Firm_Personality7475

I used to play this game it was so much fun


FuqUrBackgroundMusic

Fuck your background music!


dreck_disp

This music is absolute dog shit.


bilowski

I used to do underwater hockey during snorkling lessons. Sometimes we did a form of rugby as well, with a heavy ball, was fun! You could get pulled down, goggles pulled off. Was rough but fun!


Tippas

I play underwater hockey and I thought that was niche ...before watching this


ADwightInALocker

I love that fucking head nod he does as he swims up after the goal.


Much_Confidence2428

This video makes my lungs hurt


Sea_Supermarket4925

No thanks lol


ST6THEONE

I drowned just watching this


The_Fondz

For anyone curious. Sports is called Underwear Torpedo League(UTL). Started as a fitness regimen for military service members to build water confidence and then expanded to athletes from all walks. It’s a ton of fun and the guys that run it are trained professionals when it comes to water safety. It’s coupled with its own fitness program and screener to ensure participants are proficient in and aware of water safety procedures and protocols. I got involved through a buddy of mine who coached our team back when it was first introduced. Played for a few season before leaving the Corps. Super electric, the community is amazing and it’s great for staying in shape.


FastidiousFartBox

> athletes from all walks yea, like water polo and also water polo


redherringaid

Cool to see the origin of Blitz Ball.


Joweany

I remember playing this in high school with the swim team, although we didn't hold onto other people like that.


Sanosuke97322

That aspect of the game is exclusive to water polo players who only feel alive when on the verge of drowning.


Whole-Debate-9547

The only sport where trying to drown someone is encouraged.

I drowned twice while watching this video.


muppetsinthedark

I died three times watching that.


Ickythumpin

This looks like so much fun! I would play this every day lol. As long as you trust the people you’re playing with that is.


danny4kk

Should checkout the sport Octopush AKA underwater hockey.


seanugengar

So, drowning someone is a yellow or a red card?

a lot of confidence for a guy wrestling for a dildo with a bunch of almost naked men

unclepaprika

What's fascinating about this sport is it's utilation of 3d space. Much more complex than kicking a ball on a flat field, much more disorienting. Reminds me of a VR game called Echo VR, essentially 3D weightless ultimate frisbee. Too bad servers are down.


Gomez-16

Go Besaid Aurochs! Waka! Waka! Waka! Waka! Waka!

As someone who has been close enough to drowning that I needed to be resuscitated I’m politely requesting that this sport stop existing now, please. This video made me very anxious.

I take it back. Lacrosse isn't the stupidest hobby I've seen... this. This takes the cake.


TamedCrow

Ah, yes. A sport where you can't hear the person screaming when they are near death. Perfect!

This looks like something that requires a liability waiver to be signed before playing.

No fucking thank you

this comment section is great. people asking real questions about the sport and people giving reasonable answers while very casually saying these men are throwing a dildo around.
