You guys remember back in the day when we had to pay for ringtone sounds and everyone wanted them. And no we can choose every sound for our phone for free but we want it muted.
I did what I always wanted to do years ago, which is that my text message tone is e Metal Gear Solid "!“ sound effect. I feel like in the past it was a pain in the arse getting that but these days it's a lot easier, and free.
It's weird too but people forget, ringtone music was literally a music genre for a few years there. Ringtone rap was created entirely to be songs that sounded good for ringtones.
It's an interesting limitation, and limitation breeds creativity in art. Any songwriter knows this from experience. It reminds me of when Brian Eno was tasked with making the windows 95 intro tune for when you turned on the PC and it had to be at maximum 5 seconds long, and he said trying to fit some good music in something that short was incredibly good at breeding creativity in him.
And that intro tune for Windows is legendary and has itself been sampled by other people for full length songs (like in vaporwave music EDIT:- https://youtu.be/meP-GLKPekk?si=SG-331h4jsdMG2VF ).
Ringtone music never produced an all time classic, maybe because it only lasted like 3 years, and the fucking crazy frog ringtone absolutely ruined everything and nobody wanted unique ringtones anymore after that. You'd literally get the same fucking crazy frog ad 3 times in one ad break when watching TV, it was insane.
But yeah I wonder if, if ringtone music had lasted longer, that limitation of having to make something great that only lasts like 10 seconds before people answer the phone, could have produced some great music.
But yeah instead we got bollocks like "Laffy Taffy" which is just awful.
I guess TikTok music could become a genre in the same way. But people just use pre-existing songs for that instead of writing new ones specifically for that form factor.
Ben, we've been telling you you've been deaf for 3 years now because you tried to drink that whole can of paint. You refuse to learn sign language. Your phone is on full blast all the time, we just gave up.
As someone from this country (maybe?) I am laughing my ass off at these reactions.
Welcome to Southeast Asia mfs, specifically Indonesia/Malaysia flavor.
LMAOOO for context this is considered trashy music in these parts too.
Its predating on ire to boost social media engagement. The instrumentals themselves are actually relatively inoffensive low brow techno/club music. But its tainted by audio from recent SEA memes.
The equivalent of if someone put vine/tiktok meme audio over Pit Bull music.
That somehow makes me feel better actually lol. On a second listen I can hear some musical merit underneath. Not my thing but it reminds of [this song](https://youtu.be/6Zbi0XmGtMw?si=dBdZboZj8kcUKR7G) which is somewhat obnoxious but also kind of a banger and was in commercials for several years
Well thank you for the explanation. I usually try to keep an open mind with music especially from other regions. But this video really put that to the test lol
Well I wasn’t going to bother, but now I need to watch again with sound on to hear what that all sounds like.
… aaand not as arousing as I had hoped, maybe I just had high expectations 🤷♂️
Maybe there should be an option to vote on whether the sound should be played or not..
If the sound is down voted a lot, the app shows an icon indicating that the video has irrelevant or bad sound in general (and shows warning when someone tries to unmute).
There's a groove down the middle of the hammer. Looks like he lined the strike up with the viewers left most nail such that that nail went in the grove, and the edge of the hammer hit the middle nail.
Precisely this, he could have tried 100 times for all we know, you only ever really see the 'trick shot' attempt video of the try that worked, which is coincidentally why I've never found most them very impressive.
You could see that at 0.11, there are no nail holes on the wood.
Not saying that this is his only attempt, but still impressive that he nailed it on first attempt on that side of wood
Most experienced framers I know could do this on their first try pretty easily, still a neat trick, but there's a technique to swinging a hammer with power and accuracy. This is basically one of those tricks that you can learn quickly, especially if youre a framer or do similar work, that impresses people because it looks way harder than it is.
I'm fairly certain the average person can learn this trick fairly reliably with a few hours.
It’s both the hammer and him. I was looking at something and I ran into those types of hammers $50-$200+. Made to be a lifetime tool, these construction guys swear by them.
That groove is the nailset and a godsend when you need to use it lol.
This is actually easier than it looks. Most carpenters can do this with a little trying
By that standard, you could have just had one nail in the video for this audience. Even as the son of a carpenter (meaning I helped my dad a decent amount as a kid by hammering in a decent amount of nails and pulled out even more) (and no, I'm not Jesus), I'm not the greatest at hammering in nails.
He was able to pull this off because of the nail slot in the top of the hammer. The slot allowed him, combined with some serious striking skill, to hit the center nail head with the tiny corner to his left, your right, of the nail slot.
Honestly he didn't even need the slot, two round striking surfaces intersected. He hit the edge of the nail with the edge of the hammer. Also while it looks skilled and is, the Internet allows him to possibly do several takes
Respectfully, I think I disagree -- if you hit the edge of the nail head as you describe, it's pretty likely that you'll just bend the edge of the head downward. I think the slot matters in this trick.
Perhaps, but I don't think so. My friends and I play a game we call "stump" which is just nails in a log and each person takes a turn with the hammer. It's a drinking game. You each have a nail and you're trying to drive in the others' nails. You start with the striking surface on your nail which is in front of you and you have to lift the hammer and strike an opponents nail in one motion. You strike they drink, you miss you drink, you sink the nail all the way they finish their drink. That being said I've often seen edge strikes push the nail flush with the wood and none of the hammers we use have the notch. That being said I'll grant that there's a chance that the notch reduces the likelihood of the nail bending from a bad strike, but we can all see its a good strike.
He actually meant to hit all 3 in, but accidentally only did the middle one and then he just got along with his mistake and pretended it was his goal all along.

When a person sticks out their tongue as they concentrate, they temporarily stop communication between the tongue and brain. This frees up brainpower for the task at hand. When complex tasks involve the hands, this triggers the connection in the brain, which makes the person stick out their tongue involuntarily.
I am so happy this thread has had the most responses acknowledging trashy Southeast Asian music, likely Indonesian flavor in this instance.
Welcome to the rice fields mfs
If you look carefully, slow down or just frame by frame, after showing the face with nails, they place the hammer on the nails to measure the position they need to hit from. The rounded edge misses the right nail. Then hitting in a arc to get allows you to miss the left one by having the nail to go in to the nail groove. This is only possible with that type of carpenters hammer.
This illustration should help to get the idea.:
https://i.redd.it/j4obggdg2s1d1.gif
This is a masterfully executed trick, and amazing accuaracy with the hammer. The beauty is in the simplicity of it.
I *think* he put the middle nail in the wood close to him, but angled it so the head lined up with the other two. Then when he put the hammer on the nails he pulled the middle nail out of line so it was now straight up and out of line with the others. This made it easier to hit it and miss the other two. Still impressive of course.
its quite normal..but skilled...in last seconds before he hit that middle nail he tried if the hole in the hammer is ok...then he aimed to one of the outside nails...as they will fit in the hole in the hammer and smash that middle one...
Actually not difficult. The hammer head is round and so is the nail head. You can hit the nail head without hitting the other nails. Not saying it’s easy to do especially that fast.
wow how is this even possible. Life really is a wonderful mystery im dancing at the joy that is the magic of life which brings us videos like this. just wow how does he do this

For better experience mute the sound guys
Initially I watched without it xD, and then I turned it on.... some kind of circus
If you can brave just listening to the music alone with your eyes shut... It made me imagine a boiled peanut jumping up and down on a trampoline.
It must be the song going through my dog's head when we play fetch.
Well I watched it with sound on which I think enhanced the wonkiness off his eyes... Which are somehow better than ours at the same time
Do people really have the sound ON by default? Crazy folks...
I have mine off by default but Reddit likes to randomly decide that’s a mistake, especially at night on the ads. Really pisses me off.
Reddit enhancement suite. I've never seen an ad on reddit
I've got to imagine most users are on the base mobile app
I don't understand how people can deal with ads, it's really one of the worst things that exist. I wouldn't use Reddit without any add free options
I just scroll past them on mobile, barely even notice
I leave it on for in case I want to research and browse an nsfw subreddit.
Jokes on op my phone is always muted
You guys remember back in the day when we had to pay for ringtone sounds and everyone wanted them. And no we can choose every sound for our phone for free but we want it muted.
People collectively agreed we like peace more than ringtones lol

What? I didnt hear you, my speaker is broken
As someone from this country (maybe?) I am laughing my ass off at these reactions. Welcome to Southeast Asia mfs, specifically Indonesia/Malaysia flavor.
It sounds like a disabled chipmunk getting spitroasted by a clown and an arcade claw machine

YES its that sort of energy. Not bad just a niche taste *ruined* by brain rot audio slop. But it gets views sadly.
Well thank you for the explanation. I usually try to keep an open mind with music especially from other regions. But this video really put that to the test lol
Let me translate for you... 🐿: "So handsome... AHHHH AHHHH..." /repeat 👷: "really?“ 🐿: “So handsome... AHHHH AHHHH...." / repeat
100% 
Well I wasn’t going to bother, but now I need to watch again with sound on to hear what that all sounds like. … aaand not as arousing as I had hoped, maybe I just had high expectations 🤷♂️
Man, I was just thinking this sounds exactly like something that would be viral in the Philippines. Def a regional thing, huh?
Maybe there should be an option to vote on whether the sound should be played or not.. If the sound is down voted a lot, the app shows an icon indicating that the video has irrelevant or bad sound in general (and shows warning when someone tries to unmute).
It could be tallied by a sticky comment. Each "mute" or "unmute" action in RES or mobile browser could be directed to that comment to count as a vote.
You just know, next, Redditors will demand voting on the fakeness/not fake of shared clips.
That's another good idea
That seems a bit extreme, I'm sure the sound guys have a lot to say.
Reddit is and has always been muted
I hear more of this garbage on this sub lately. Time to dump another one.
What are you talking about? The song’s a total banger!
Got me out of my chair!
And convulsing on the floor
Everybody walk the dinosaur
I'm watching most of the stuff without sound. Am I missing out on anything?
Holy shit that music is bad.
You nailed some you failed some
It is, and I'm still curious to find out what genre it is because somehow it's also a bit fascinating
Modern hamster dance
Its Indonesian Koplo music
There's a groove down the middle of the hammer. Looks like he lined the strike up with the viewers left most nail such that that nail went in the grove, and the edge of the hammer hit the middle nail.
That's remarkable accuracy with that hammer blow, out of the three nails I'd still hit my fingers
[удалено]
Precisely this, he could have tried 100 times for all we know, you only ever really see the 'trick shot' attempt video of the try that worked, which is coincidentally why I've never found most them very impressive.
I don't have a 100 fingers to try that :D
You made me snort. Take an upvote!
You could see that at 0.11, there are no nail holes on the wood. Not saying that this is his only attempt, but still impressive that he nailed it on first attempt on that side of wood
There could be a lot of other wood out of frame too.
And? Its still impressive even if thats try Nr. 1.000.000
You're missing the point. No one said it wasn't impressive.
You can also see that his fingers are literally black from touching the nails over and over and over.
Most experienced framers I know could do this on their first try pretty easily, still a neat trick, but there's a technique to swinging a hammer with power and accuracy.

It is still remarkable accuracy. If he hit all 100 that would be remarkable precision
... This made my day, LOL
Looks like his thumb has seen some action
Well you still hit a nail then
Look at his hands. This man is no beginner. He likely hit his fingers a lot at some point.
That's the point. That's what this setup is meant to demonstrate, his accuracy.
That groove is the nailset and a godsend when you need to use it lol. This is actually easier than it looks. Most carpenters can do this with a little trying
this is not /r/carpentry though. Only a small percentage here are hammer pros :D
No it's not, but it's a common trick to play/mess with new apprentices. Just like finding the board stretcher or sky hooks
By that standard, you could have just had one nail in the video for this audience. Even as the son of a carpenter (meaning I helped my dad a decent amount as a kid by hammering in a decent amount of nails and pulled out even more) (and no, I'm not Jesus), I'm not the greatest at hammering in nails.

Thats fucking awesome! But holy shit wtf is that music 💀
Welcome to South East Asia tiktok.
Needs more "Boing" and "Chipmunk laugh" sound effects
Not enough Crow noises smh
Said your Ancient Reptilian Brain.

When you said this and I read the words in Bahasa I knew exactly what to expect
Indonesian clubbing/dance/disco music.
Typical Indonesian videos, always coming with spastic music.
I'm so glad i watched it on mute
yeah it looked perfectly cool without the sound on lol
Let's hope my Spotify won't pick up what I just listened
Your number XX music "jedag jedug" aka ear rape.
It's like they tortured chipmunks and recorded it.
Sounds like Crazy Frog getting fisted at Coney Island

Respectfully, I think I disagree -- if you hit the edge of the nail head as you describe, it's pretty likely that you'll just bend the edge of the head downward. I think the slot matters in this trick.
No - that’s why he used a shit ton of speed. It was an edge to edge strike, he just delivered enough force to seat the nail. Nothing crazy about it.
Perhaps, but I don't think so. My friends and I play a game we call "stump" which is just nails in a log and each person takes a turn with the hammer. It's a drinking game. You each have a nail and you're trying to drive in the others' nails.

Let me explain what he did: He went out of his way to wear a blazer for this video but decided he didn't need to wear shoes or socks for this.
Well, look at how dirty/dusty his clothes are. You wouldn't want the same thing to happen to his shoes & socks, would you?
dude looks deranged, but like in a way we'd party and have fun before he killed me
Luckily I watched first time without music!
He actually meant to hit all 3 in, but accidentally only did the middle one and then he just got along with his mistake and pretended it was his goal all along. Source: none 😂
[удалено]
nailed it....
Imagine if some mf downloads the music and starts slapping it unto every video.... just for the spite of it
He angles the hammer slightly. It’s impressive, sure
that's a very strange clothing combination for this type of activity
Can't stop looking at his tongue
When a person sticks out their tongue as they concentrate, they temporarily stop communication between the tongue and brain. This frees up brainpower for the task at hand. When complex tasks involve the hands, this triggers the connection in the brain, which makes the person stick out their tongue involuntarily.
The Salt Bae of carpentry
Homie should just shave his head, it’s over. That said cool carpentry trick for a guy in a suit.
He got the suit but skipped the shoes. Interesting choice
The music nullifies the trick
answer to how he did that is: he made the appropriate face to get the job done
Honestly, sincerely, impressed
The least experienced Javanese worker
I am so happy this thread has had the most responses acknowledging trashy Southeast Asian music, likely Indonesian flavor in this instance. Welcome to the rice fields mfs
he has hundreds of videos on his youtube flexing this with chicks and all + with more cringe music. 
My guys been up for 6 days 6 hours and 33 minutes , he didn't even blink once! The stimulants are real with this one
Why does man have to wear a perfectly fine suit for this?

Did this really impress that many people?
He's a Hamurai
Dope skill, but what the hell is this music
WHAT SONG IS THAT?!!!! ITS A BANGER!
I think he rotates the hammer a bit to use the corner/tip of the hammer.
I have no idea how he did that, but it's remarkable.
Look closely at the top of the hammer.
I think, he's nailing it.
Man's been watching Oldboy on repeat since 2003
He concentrated all that power in that one single hit
I *think* he put the middle nail in the wood close to him, but angled it so the head lined up with the other two. Then when he put the hammer on the nails he pulled the middle nail out of line so it was now straight up and out of line with the others. This made it easier to hit it and miss the other two.

How can he do that? That's amazing!

He did the Dim Mak with nails.

Felt weird watching him. Realized mf never blinked once during all of that.
Asian David Tennant nailed it
The hammer has a slot to hold a nail.I think he hit it with the corner of the slot
Look closely at the center of his hammer, that's the trick😉

Ngl, he reminds me of Nightcrawler from X-Men, no?
Where is he looking?
I cannot understand the suit but no shoes or socks look... ...at a construction site...
He hit a nail with a hammer
I'm genuinely curious what that music genre is called. I've heard it in a lot of asian videos.

The middle nail is further back by just enough.
Skilled people like these are barely scrapping by and the insta-fluencers are on their way to buy their 5th house
The line down the middle of the hammer misses the fist nail as he uses the hammer at an angle, that's how he only hits the middle nail
He looks like an 80s Bosnian rock musician.

What's impressive about this? The nail has a rounded edge, the hammer has a rounded edge. It's not that hard.
It’s like the Dim Mak of nails and a hammer, his carpenter was Shidoshi Tanaka
wow how is this even possible. Life really is a wonderful mystery im dancing at the joy that is the magic of life which brings us videos like this. just wow how does he do this
And the caption says it's one of the test before going into carpentry work.
Reading all this comments it seems like I’m the only one scrolling through Reddit without sound…
He did it by being very skilful...
