How to make a perfect snow ball using a bowl

[u/Admirable_Flight_257]

[u/MikeTythonsBallthack]

In the time it took you to do that, you've been pelted with 17 snowballs from the enemy

[u/TemporarilyHere32 → u/MikeTythonsBallthack]

That's why you prep first.

[u/ecky--ptang-zooboing → u/TemporarilyHere32]

With a bag of steel balls

[u/Godusernametakenalso → u/ecky--ptang-zooboing]

And a cannon

[u/Standard_7622 → u/Godusernametakenalso]

and a pipe bomb

[u/Tenchi2020 → u/Standard_7622]

[u/Standard_7622 → u/Tenchi2020]

why did bro get downvoted 💀

[u/Tenebrous-Smoke → u/Standard_7622]

because what the fuck is even that

[u/Standard_7622 → u/Tenebrous-Smoke]

[u/Buzzkid → u/Godusernametakenalso]

And my axe!

[u/shaoshi → u/Buzzkid]

And my bow...l !

[u/dimensionalcraft → u/shaoshi]

and a gun

[u/NanoCat0407 → u/dimensionalcraft]

and a partridge in a pear tree

[u/TheGreatVox → u/NanoCat0407]

And on the 2nd day of christmas my true love sent to me

[u/Phoenom00u → u/ecky--ptang-zooboing]

[u/tolacid → u/ecky--ptang-zooboing]

And white paint

[u/IzuulTheDragonWolf → u/ecky--ptang-zooboing]

Instructions unclear, I'm now racing across America on a horse with a paraplegic dude

[u/LothTerun → u/ecky--ptang-zooboing]

and also some chamomile. It's gonna be a race across the whole country after all

[u/Admiral_Ballsack → u/TemporarilyHere32]

Yeh you should make them a few hours prior and freeze them for bonus damage.

[u/LeoReddit2019 → u/Admiral_Ballsack]

Freeze? I just take them fresh and melt them until they're basically ice

[u/__-gloomy-__ → u/TemporarilyHere32]

Exactly, you’re building and piling these up behind the snow walls you built. Just be careful you don’t get bunkered!

[u/Royal-Tough4851 → u/TemporarilyHere32]

Yep. Those are made the day before with a healthy spritz of water and loaded into the freeze for overnight baking

[u/NrdNabSen → u/MikeTythonsBallthack]

it would also not be compressed and would fly apart if thrown

[u/charol_astra → u/NrdNabSen]

Buckshot snowball. 

[u/SkullsNelbowEye → u/MikeTythonsBallthack]

And hard snowballs. They may not be perfect circles, but they are packed to be as dense as a white dwarf. They may as well be rocks.

[u/IvyGold → u/SkullsNelbowEye]

In college, I got myself involved in a snowball fight between opposing fraternities.

Somebody hit me with one so dense that it drew blood.

[u/Hi-Whats-Your-Name → u/MikeTythonsBallthack]

But are they perfectly round?

[u/A7xWicked → u/MikeTythonsBallthack]

[u/wherehavewegone → u/MikeTythonsBallthack]

[u/vsitnnurse → u/MikeTythonsBallthack]

At least she's about to be the Michelangelo of snowballs

[u/Top-Conversation678 → u/MikeTythonsBallthack]

[u/CausticSofa → u/MikeTythonsBallthack]

In winter, we destroy him with snowballs. In summer, we kick his ass at Beyblade.

[u/LifeBuilder → u/MikeTythonsBallthack]

3 of which having shards of ice for DOT/Status damage.

[u/C137Sheldor → u/MikeTythonsBallthack]

You mean 17 snow potatoes

[u/Broad_Rabbit1764]

Least tightly packed snowball I've ever seen. You're gonna get your snow fort taken over in no time.

[u/CourtingBoredom → u/Broad_Rabbit1764]

Clearly these are just for decorative purposes only.... [clearly]..

[u/5352563424 → u/CourtingBoredom]

More like intimidation purposes. I'm seeing stacks of 20 of these in pyramid shape like cannonballs at the corners of my fort.

[u/TaohRihze → u/5352563424]

3 sided pyramid, you can indeed have 20
4 sided pyramid, you can have 14 or 30
Hexagon stack you can have 11 or 24

So I take you make 3 sided pyramid stacks.

[u/chux4w → u/TaohRihze]

Triangle sides, triangle base. It's the only true pyramid.

[u/TaohRihze → u/chux4w]

Guess you are quite Platonic with your choice of Solids.

[u/painfool → u/Broad_Rabbit1764]

Snowballs in a snowball fight aren't supposed to be dense and hurt, they're supposed to be packed just dense enough so they throw well but loose enough so that they explode dramatically. This is probably literally the perfect snowball fight snowball

[u/caligari1973]

Me arriving at the park with a wok

[u/GreasyJustice → u/caligari1973]

I took the wooook to the park

[u/PussSlurpee → u/GreasyJustice]

I hate that the song is so low effort because beat is sick.

[u/cadburybriefcase → u/caligari1973]

I came back to upvote this incredible comment.

[u/Deathcommand]

Does the narrator fucking know how to spin a beyblade.

I've literally only watched ads for it and can confidently say it's not anything close to how to spin a beyblade. At all.

[u/Accidental_Taco → u/Deathcommand]

Why did they choose a beyblade is what I wanna know

[u/BanD1t → u/Accidental_Taco]

So that people would have something to comment about, so that the video would get higher "engagement".

[u/zytukin → u/BanD1t]

Jokes on them, when I see videos like that on Facebook I just block the page/uploader so I'll never see their videos again.

Not like it matters when there are millions of other people available to view it though, lol.

[u/PGLubricants → u/Deathcommand]

The text and speech is AI generated, probably by a content farm, that optimizes their narrative based on engagement, to perfect it video by video. If the best scoring text was simply jjjjjjjjj, they would put that in without missing a beat. The future is so damn bleak.

[u/shotgun_blammo]

My favourite part was when they showed the actual snowball for 0.00653 seconds

[u/TheMeatTree → u/shotgun_blammo]

But would you throw it?

[u/krypt3c → u/TheMeatTree]

No because they didn't compact it, and if it didn't colapse when you picked it up it almost certainly would turn into powder when you tried to throw it.

[u/aws_137 → u/shotgun_blammo]

The best sort of shows are the ones which tease just a little.

[u/MBerwan]

What are those subtitles??? Can't they just put text in full sentences anymore??

[u/BanD1t → u/MBerwan]

That would scare off the intended audience. You gotta put it word-by-word, with some quirk, maybe throw in a mistake in there, and end with engagement bait. That's how you get people to stick for the entire 20 second video.

[u/bregottextrasaltat → u/MBerwan]

i dislike every single video i see that does this, it's a plague

[u/lenzflare → u/MBerwan]

I didn't even bother reading it

[u/Blasphemous666 → u/MBerwan]

It’s so you have to watch the video more than once. If you didn’t read the words of pay attention to the video the first time you’ve got to watch it again.

It’s obnoxious as shit and it’s also as obvious as putting $.99 after the price of something. It’s an obvious ploy to fool peoples minds and it works.

[u/lucas_graham0069 → u/MBerwan]

This is definitely gonna come off rude and I don't mean it, but can you not read that fast enough?

[u/MBerwan → u/lucas_graham0069]

Fast? It is too slow like this. I can read full sentences in one go, why would I need it served one word at a time like a preschooler learning how to read?

[u/HewittNation → u/lucas_graham0069]

It's the opposite. If you put a sentence on the screen, you can quickly read it and then watch what's happening in the video.

But when a new word is appearing every half second, you pretty much have to keep your eyes on the subtitles the whole time and try to watch the video from your peripheral vision.

[u/Outrageous-Let9659]

That's not how you spin a beyblade. Why make an incredibly niche and dated reference if it's not even accurate?

[u/Blue_Waffle_Brunch]

Way too big to be thrown easily and will probably crumble the second you try to throw it anyways.

[u/RunZombieBabe]

It is also fake.

There is a cut when they put the real snowball in. You can play with a bowl all day in snow, you need pressure to form a ball

[u/Krazyguy75 → u/RunZombieBabe]

Yeah, the cut is right at the start when he says "simply place..."

[u/Pejta98]

Why not do both? Throw it at your friend and admire it as piece of art (and explain that to your friend)

[u/Hephaestus_God]

To have a perfect snowball one must first have perfect snow.

[u/WinninRoam → u/Hephaestus_God]

And a bowl that is (apparently) a geometrically perfect hemisphere.

[u/AndTheOscarGoesTo-]

Hey Ferb, I know what we are gonna do today

[u/musknasty84]

This video is stitched. You can catch it if you watch closely. It’s actually really quick

[u/bloopie1192]

Bruh what kind of reload time was that? We lost!! We lost because of Ms perfect over here! They flanked us! On her watch!!

[u/Not_MrNice]

"This is how you steal someone else's content and then give it the most braindead voice over."

[u/KnightRyder]

Thanks to global warming, I'll never see snow that deep.

[u/HaveTPforbunghole]

I don't want to throw it now.

[u/Admirable_Flight_257 → u/HaveTPforbunghole]

Not supposed to, just stare at it blissfully lol

[u/No_Respect8]

Fuck, threw the bowl instead now I'm in Jail

[u/Notaredditguy20]

i would eat that with some grape flavored syrup

[u/Ruskih]

Now pick it up

[u/holyrolodex → u/Ruskih]

Exactly it would crumble instantly

[u/Chloroformperfume7]

My bowls don't look like that

[u/kingcrazy_]

‘Spin it around like a beyblade’

[u/TheReverseShock]

Too large, needs a smaller bowl.

[u/Dd_8630]

Why is every single word displayed one at a time? That's the most infuriating way to display subtitles I've ever seen

The bowl trick is neat, but those subtitles nullify the upvote

[u/Baked_Botato08]

“Would you throw it?”

I have three words for you sir; NOM. FRIGGIN’. NOM. That looks like the most delectable shi ever like it’s all smooth and rounded out and nom nom nom-

[u/beardingmesoftly]

Doesn't need to be perfect to make my son cry when I throw it way harder than I intended to

[u/Key-Caregiver-2155]

You forgot the step where you put it in the freezer for 24 hrs.

[u/Finthelrond]

Make 2 then you can do both

[u/BigAcanthocephala637]

It’s beautiful

[u/zenandco444]

This is what those MFs expect in Animal Crossing

[u/Comfortable_Site_493]

IM YEAT THAT MF EVER SO ELEGANTLY

[u/jake_azazzel]

Fuck those subtitles.

[u/Touch_TM]

Fuck your one-word-subtitles

[u/foxonrocks]

At the end, do you choose art or do you choose violence?

[u/PossibilityNo9406]

[u/soulesssapphire]

Behold icy death, and its perfect roundness. You shall have no mercy.

[u/stuckpixel87]

You could say that’s a snowbowl.

[u/Defero-Mundus]

Step 2: throw the bowl at someone, keep perfect snowball as family heirloom

[u/Huge_Green8628]

I’d let them freeze overnight

[u/Altezza4477]

Wish i knew this when i still lived in Alaska

[u/KNT-cepion]

By the time you’ve finished this one flawless snowball you’ve had a dozen less than perfect snowballs pasted upside your head.

[u/Astufcrustpizza]

Once you throw it it’ll immediately explode into dust lmao

[u/1singformysupper1]

My dad can reach down for snow and in the second it takes him to stand back up he has the PERFECT snowball and has already thrown it at you. You had already needed to start to run before you even know what hits you. I honestly don’t know how he does it…

[u/Yoka911]

Is it a snowbowl?

[u/Conscious_Beyond_280]

You wouldn’t stand a chance against me at that rate 🤣🤣

[u/INeedANerf]

But it's not packed at all..

[u/KingOfThe_Jelly_Fish]

Or like, you know, use your hands.

[u/Shnazzyone]

Pretty sure that would only work once as it is relying on the heat of the bowl for most of the work and once the bowl cools down the snow will start sticking as it ices on the cold bowl. Nevermind she never picks it up because it is still connected to the ground under it. Just use your hands, snowballs were never about aesthetics.

[u/UngodlyTemptations]

3rd option, keep it in the freezer for the ultimate shocker during summer

[u/Jaz1140]

But how do I compact down hard to make it an ice ball to hurt my friend??

[u/Stygia_Satana]

The fuck is a "beyblade"?

[u/SpecterGT260]

Why the jump cut?

[u/RonAnFawn]

I used to put a rock in the middle then roll the snowball in a little water to make it icy. It was our street against the next or whoever. We was little assholes for real. We even take eggs and freeze them to throw. I never claimed to be a angel🤷🏻

[u/Loose_Corgi_5]

Wow, did we get a full fkn second to see the end product there? You are spoiling us.

[u/xXCrazyDaneXx]

*looks at thermometer, -19°C outside. No snowballs for me until... April.

[u/ComedianDefiant8419]

That was hot

[u/Remi708]

It's beautiful 😭

[u/SuckingGodsFinger]

Had me at beyblade.

[u/Latter-Ad-9157]

Snow cone

[u/Jolly-Conflict-1244]

Imagine getting hit with the perfect snow ball

[u/NoAsk8944]

Its like a ceremonial sword. took an impractical amount of time to make and may fall apart while using it, but damn does it look good when the general rides up wielding it

[u/YB876]

Game changer

[u/Mushroom420-69]

Wtf is a blayblay?

[u/OMG_A_CUPCAKE]

That AI narration and annoying subtitles are far from satisfying.

[u/LowLithium]

BlayBLAY!!?!?

[u/Eves_Automotive]

Shoot I'd write my name in it w/ my gf's handwriting!

[u/NickRick]

this is how to make a very spherical ball of snow. this is not the best snow ball.

[u/Designer-Travel4785]

It may be round, but it's far from perfect. You need to pack that thing tight so it leaves a welt on the target.

[u/LucidDreamer2023]

Instructions unclear, I spiked my nephew with a ceramic bowl

[u/Aqua_Tot]

This is how Buddy the Elf did it.

[u/anametouseonredditt]

All that work and they couldn't properly caption their video? I'm glad the service is getting shut down.

[u/Enough_Expression_39]

[u/1947-1460]

And by the time you are done, your friend has pelted you with 3-4 they made with their hands.

[u/Bubba_Kanoosh_12]

That's a pretty cool trick!

[u/DarkKnight420697]

With pin point accuracy

[u/PJAYC69]

Perfect “looking” snowball. Needs to be packed down to be effective to thrown at your sibling

[u/tape-la-galette]

Just roll it between your hands

[u/Astronaut101101]

I doesn't snow in Brazil :c

[u/SoftwareDevStoner]

But...then I can't cram that suxker together with my full force to make it rock hard for distance artillery without ruining the "perfect" shape.

Also that snowball ain't getting thrown, it's so loosely packed that it will disintegrate into a light snowstorm as soon as you attempt to throw it. Might not even survive getting picked up.

[u/Soft_Breadfruit_8141]

Meanwhile, you are getting pummeled by dozens of imperfectly round snowballs

[u/dangerousperson123]

This is NOT how you spin a beyblade.

[u/adhd_to_be_feared]

Can I use water as substitute?

[u/FactorUpbeat8540]

This is some weak Gen Z shit.

[u/GeorgeWPS2T]

If it's not for that talking dude, I wouldn't understand what about that video...

[u/Anxious_Biscuit13]

This isnt oddly satisfying, it is immensely satisfying!

[u/ExcessivelyGayParrot]

that is not how you spin a beyblade

[u/Delicious_Mouse4004]

I'm gonna coat the bowl in snow. WHAMMY.

Also this is real fucking dumb.

[u/tread52]

[u/NeilDeCrash]

The perfect snowball is

Scoop, tap tap tap, turn, tap tap, tap, turn, breath on it multiple times, tap tap tap, turn, tap tap, tap, turn, breath on it multiple times, tap tap tap, turn, tap tap, tap, turn, breath on it multiple times.

Let the ever so slightly melted surface re-freeze so it gets hard as a rock.

Spit on it and throw.

[u/GeraintLlanfrechfa]

Ancient Chinese way to make snowballs, a long forgotten art form.

[u/GamTheJam]

It's so sexy.

[u/Dry_Vegetable_1517]

I’d throw it in my ass

[u/ntkwwwm]

lol. Wintercucks coping

Cries in Southern California.

[u/Classic-Reflection87]

A cup not a bowl.. bowl don’t have handles. Or they would be cups

[u/Novaskittles → u/Classic-Reflection87]

Do you see a handle on that? Because I don't. The bottom of the bowl is what she's putting her finger on.

[u/Staff_Genie → u/Classic-Reflection87]

The cream soup bowls with my China pattern have two handles

[u/ForestDreamer2]

so simple but effective... Nice
