Memes for Ants (& Eye’s Most Still Enjoyed Thread)

Sheep Thumbs GIF
 
There's this meme I saw posted on the old GW that I can't find anywhere now. It was that scene and all the log ends had adorable little smiley faces all saying cheerful things, and the one that was about to bust through the windshield was saying "why hello there!" It was one of my favorites.

I wouldn't trust anyone that wilfully drives behind a logging truck.
If it makes you feel better, the kind of thing that occurs in FD2 is impossible.

If the logs were to roll off the truck, they would just land on the ground and maybe roll around and then everyone behind would stop. Maybe there would be a pile-up, because the movie displays a wet highway, and people are never paying attention on the road, but it's unlikely that anyone would be killed. The logs are too heavy to bounce around like they do in the movie.

I wish I could find the video that debunks that and the Final Destination 3 roller coaster scene, but I can't find it right now.

Yeah and garbage disposals have no way to turn themselves on suddenly. I've still seen enough movies to never ever stick my hand in one, even if it's off.

Sure, and horses don't sink into swamps just because they're sad, but I'm still not trying it.

maybe it's because I've only been to a few weddings, but the catering choices are usually pretty bland every time. I feel like the food at a wedding should be spectacular, not something you typically see at a business luncheon where it's just a bunch of boring hors d'oeuvres...

You been to some crap weddings then. Most of the ones I've been to have had some pretty amazing food. Maybe it's a southern thing.

Also the logs would bounce forwards and/or sideways if anything, not backwards into your vehicle. So as long as you're looking ahead and not driving insanely fast it should be no issue to break in time or swerve out of the way.
I imagine they'd lose their forward momentum (gained from being on the truck) pretty quickly once they fall off (idk if this is true). So if you're still going freeway speeds, the log might not bounce into you, but you could run into it.

I saw a video once with the crew and they had to fake almost the entire thing

Also a quick Google brings up several real life instances of logs flying off of logging trucks and going through windshields so it's not all that crazy after all. Stay away from those logging trucks!!

There is a YouTube video that is quite horrifying I don't think it's a log I think it's a brick and for whatever reason the daughter had something recording and you hear the brick Strike her mom and just everyone in the car freaking out
 
  • Crikey!

Ah, so we've gone from "it's impossible for that to happen" to "just pay attention and you can avoid it". I'll just stay away from those murder machines, tyvm.
Nah, it's consistent with what I said earlier:

Yeah I'm pretty sure there was a criminal case for that one incident. I think the woman that got struck either got severe permanent brain damage or straight up died.
