So glad I watched to the end.

This image doesn’t do it justice.

[–] douglasg14b@lemmy.world 15 points 1 week ago

That was honestly epic

Those guys took it so calmly.

[–] sad_detective_man@sopuli.xyz 70 points 1 week ago (1 children)

For real, love his antics but those guys are above average intelligence for realizing they're in the wrong and not freaking tf out

[–] tuff_wizard@aussie.zone 56 points 1 week ago (6 children)

I think that’s just a cultural thing. The western urge to fight anyone who points out you are wrong is not universal.

Doesn't suprise me. Living here has caused me to expect sadists and manchildren in most situations

...are you sure that's a western urge? I don't really think that's how it goes in Finland, Spain, Sweden or Germany.
People would not react the way you see here, but that's because of the way the message is conveyed, not because of the message itself.

can only speak for germany:

a. this situation wouldn't really occur since rule compliance is higher

b. people use cars - 2-wheel vehicles are rare

c. seething road rage is the default modus operandi. a fight is inevitable (it might just be a karen-esque fight through the legal system tho*)

IDK man, in my city, most intersections have a stopping area for bikes a few meters ahead of where cars are supposed to stop, to protect cyclists when they are making a turn. Cars going over the line and blocking this area is an extremely common occurrence (more often than not I'd say). I would love to have someone go around and just bonk people for stuff like this. I agree with point c.

if you'd try that here you'd be murdered by your first "victim"

This is in the Dominican Republic judging by the newspaper stand

One of my favorite people that I served with was from there. He was easily the coolest mother fucker in the room, and also always the kindest

In the US, that dude would have new holes after the first tap. :/

[–] Don_alForno@feddit.org 7 points 1 week ago (1 children)

In Germany he would be declared a terrorist organization and gang raped by the totally-not-having-a-Nazi-problem police.

Germans doing German things.

Sad but true

[–] ilinamorato@lemmy.world 24 points 1 week ago

Love how some of them started moving back before he even said anything. Just felt the bop and started to step back. They obviously know.

[–] BroBot9000@lemmy.world 19 points 1 week ago

That’s the hero we need

[–] xploit@lemmy.world 16 points 1 week ago

I needed that today, thanks to this hero and you posting it.

Society needs more boppers.

[–] ABetterTomorrow@sh.itjust.works 11 points 1 week ago (1 children)

This should be a thing worldwide

[–] explodicle@sh.itjust.works 20 points 1 week ago (1 children)

As an American, seeing all those bikers suddenly and nonviolently accept that they are wrong looks magical.

[–] rumba@lemmy.zip 4 points 1 week ago

It's a different kind of person who rides bikes here.

Also I think the one where he walked form bike to bike was probably staged :)

[–] Mvlad88@lemmy.world 10 points 1 week ago (1 children)

I could watch this guy for hours.

[–] roscoe@lemmy.dbzer0.com 3 points 1 week ago

I thought the whole video would just be more of the same, I was right. I also thought I would get bored halfway through, I was wrong. I could easily watch much more.

[–] NarrativeBear@lemmy.world 10 points 1 week ago

I love it!! We need more people like this.

Reminds me of the "Toronto Traffic Referee"

[–] Mycatiskai@lemmy.ca 7 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Does anyone know why he does this?

Did he previously get hit by a bike crossing the crosswalk or he just likes to enforce crosswalk regs for fun?

[–] explodicle@sh.itjust.works 2 points 1 week ago

Where I live, there's a crazy old cyclist with a viking helmet who sings constantly, except when he screams at anyone who breaks the rules of his intersection. He seems to actually be helping.

[–] AGM@lemmy.ca 7 points 1 week ago

Hard not to like seeing a person who just obviously loves their job.

[–] TrickDacy@lemmy.world 4 points 1 week ago

I love this so much.

"Yes I bopped you, and I'll bop you again!" -- not an actual translation

Amazing, this made my day, thanks for posting it!
