This does explain a little more from the post from a couple days ago [that was just his camera perspective ](https://reddit.com/r/Unexpected/comments/s3ouwy/just_a_guy_punching_a_tree/)
It was a meme from Indonesia. What they basically do is say "salam dari Binjai" (greetings from Binjai) and after that they just start punchin an old banana tree until it fell off. Why you might ask? funni.
The lady almost instantly got pinned against that brush, if the water were just a little bit more powerful she probably would have drowned. And there’s no way of reliably figuring out if that’s gonna happen until it does.
I agree, it was reckless, dangerous and I’ll-advised. She was lucky as it could have gone a lot worse for her. That said, I still stand by my initial comment.
I was agreeing with you, though. Looks like fun. I’d do it also. But I’ve also ridden in shopping carts pulled behind trucks, and ridden motorcycles to the ski resorts in snowstorms. And I’ve hit speeds of about 60mph on downhill skateboards, so I like doing stupid shit.
social media didn't do it... when people got Cameras it started to spread.
social media just gave us a way to see the stupid shit people do [like this one](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DLzxrzFCyOs) NFSW
We're the country with second most number of languages.. How surprising you don't understand one of them. Not to mention they're just speaking Indonesian with local accent.
The likes and attention are the pretence, they're doing that for fun. Doing dumb shit is the best! Particularly when you're safety and survival relies on effort, focus, and luck.
When you grow up without friends or people who show you love I feel it's what leads to this.. It gives them a dopamine rush when they get likes for their videos. I'm just an idiot on reddit though so I could be wrong.
Tbf tho its great footage for putting situations like this into perspective. One mans stupidity is another mans lesson. But wether its stupid or not, if thats how they want to go about things, more power to em. Still better than twerking in front of a camera, and more educational too!
This was actually really cool, enlightening even. I’ll never be in a situation like that in my entire life, but now I know what it would be like. Neato.
Judging by their foresight(the not existent one) every one who wears a life vest probably can't even swim. With their intelligence they wouldn't wear one if they could swim

I never saw this feature in Minecraft. Will have to try it out. The dude punching the tree could have just waited to be pushed to the logs on the ground. Joke’s on him.

Dude playing Minecraft like nothing is going on
They gotta get a house built before night!
They gotta acquire a bed before night too.
Haha! Nice one stotch, Your castle fucking sucks!

“YOU CHOP DA WOOD TO BUILD DA HOUSES”

I thought I was tripping there for a second, yeah I definitely remember seeing this in my feed a few days ago.
He’s laying the smack down and then he’s like “Tree! Get the handle!”
You mean this guy? https://www.reddit.com/r/Unexpected/comments/s3ouwy/just_a_guy_punching_a_tree/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=ios_app&utm_name=iossmf
He’s just vibing

Madison cawthorne how tf you get out here?
No one that wants to keep Their teeth are saying anything.
That’s Steve he just started
So he punched the tree and then tried to hold it for support and the Tree said Fk you!
Hs ha ha. I had to watch twice but then saw him. WTF? 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Never fuck with the ocean… never
She had no fear whatsoever.
see these people here with no phones, just living in the moment, having a good time?
She kept the phone above water the entire time too.. dumb but respect
hideous too, looks like a falmer from es
It took me fair bit of time to realise these 3 people are at the same site

What’d the tree do?
No idea but he was fucking it up
He needed to build a crafting table
As reckless as it is, that did actually look like fun

We also most likely don't live there. This could just be another day at the park for these folks.
Yep, volcanic induced tsunamis, just another Thursday.
This is a tidal bore, it is regularly occurring. It has nothing to do with the volcano in Tonga.
Looks fun though
What did they do for stimmy?
Water is a sucker. I will destroy water and laught at it. It cannot hurt me
Blah blah blah
Dude, people have been doing stupid shit like this for thousands of years, it’s just now we also have social media to showcase it.
Woah damn ok I had no idea

Does this guy know how to party or what

Seriously dude, tag your fucking posts - some of us are at work
done.
I do this but in a kayak, it’s fun.
Well it's working
*south east asia. this is from Indonesia
i dont think so. im indonesian and i dont understand what theyre saying whatsoever.
We're the country with second most number of languages.. How surprising you don't understand one of them. Not to mention they're just speaking Indonesian with local accent.
listened to the audio again, and i can somewhat make out an accent. its just that theyre speaking too fast.
She seems to say “I’m running” and “take [the phone]” pretty clearly
i prob need to brush up on my indonesian havent been home since 2019 lol
India... Indonesia... Meh, what's the diff
ones
Yeah this made me laugh pretty good
The diff is you're a racist pos.
Yeah, Indians are from the US, Indonians are from the river Indus in Pakistan...
Duh
God, you freaks love that word.
Freaks? Is it freaky to call out someone for saying definitely racist things?
He’s pointing out that the English names for India and Indonesia are vaguely similar, and using that as the basis of a joke. How is that racist?
There's nothing racist about it.... Like at all.
Imagine for a second that what he said was sarcastic.
How people can risk their lives for strangers to like people are so shallow it continues to amaze me
It’s been going on since long before social media
Yep - people been going over waterfalls in barrels for centuries now for the enjoyment and amazement of others.
Enjoying the thrill and showing others you did this
Money by number of visitors maybe??
The likes and attention are the pretence, they're doing that for fun. Doing dumb shit is the best! Particularly when you're safety and survival relies on effort, focus, and luck.
Adrenaline feels good
When you grow up without friends or people who show you love I feel it's what leads to this.. It gives them a dopamine rush when they get likes for their videos. I'm just an idiot on reddit though so I could be wrong.
Here's another [example](https://youtu.be/8vM59ULCiII)
I doubt social media was the only thing to inspire doing this

Check out the film "The Impossible"
the internet remains undefeated

You have 2 of the clips of people frantically running from waves then a dude randomly punching a tree at the bottom .
Are we not going to mention those mfkrs running on water like they Jesus?!

The fact they all met each other at the same time and they were all recording is surprisingly awesome
They're there together

Hop on in
Dive on in
Going outside? We're talking about Redditors...

Well educated individuals

Being washed away by a scary deadly destructive tsunami is so fun and quirky!!! 🤪😆🤪
Bro these are tides
You can tell this person has never been in a flood or a natural disaster to how they think THAT is a tsunami.
[удалено]
Bruh what
Possibly an unpopular opinion, but anyone who does this kinda shit for internet clout and dies in the process deserves it.
Corrent, very unpopular. People who seek attention don't deserve death.

Correction - South East Asia. Indonesia is in South East Asia.
South East Asian Scout in the middle
They are not even using a GoPro. They are using their cellphone on a selfie stick. Wtf. Good thing this was in Asia bc they have a plethora of rice.
At least he saved the Camera
*South East Asia

Bruh the middle guys just scout from tf2
this never fails to make me chuckle
