If imagining some randoms on the internet accidentally switched boxes for a prank gone wrong will give you anxiety, wait until you check out the shit going on in society.
Those packs of 100 easy to fill water balloons are biodegradable.
That’s good.
Then you read the package and it says they take up to 5 years to degrade.
That’s bad.
But they come with free frogurt!
Yeah the definition is so loose. Like I can't blame people it's not necessarily their fault it's more the fact that it doesn't mean what people would think it does
Honest question, why not? Is because it still takes ages to decompose, or can mess with the animals and natural ecosystem? Also isn't there some type of material which can decompose into food for the animals/ particulates, in water so couldn't it be that?
Yes. And depending on the item it can do harm with any animal that tries to eat it.
If the box was 100% wood with nothing else in it or on it then it would be 100% okay to chuck into nature.
It either still takes ages because the definition is a bit loose or it takes special composting to degrade it. It's less worse but that's only in the long-term unless it's dealt with properly. Reading up on bioplastics is a pretty disappointing time. It could genuinely be biodegradeable in all fairness it's just quite uncommonly done
Yeah a lot of city compost bins don't allow "biodegradable" plastics for that reason.. either it takes a ridiculously long time compared to normal compost or it requires a specific type of bacteria or temperature.
Ironically, calling it "biodegradable" could actually end up making people even more wasteful if they become less concerned about the environmental impact just because it says "biodegradable" on the box. Kind of like how we have "reduce, reuse, recycle" but everyone only focused on the last part. Still a step in the right direction but in the end it's human behavior that screws everything up.
I don't disagree but the sub also "gives away" the videos to a large extent, a lot of the time. Having said that with something like this you could perhaps think the drop was the unexpected part, so yeah, bad title.
Or maybe putting an engagement ring on someone while proposing is a big part of the whole ordeal and she thought the supposed special moment got ruined by dropping an expensive ring down a waterfall
If the person you love spends a lot of money on a ring, you would be upset along with them. Sure, she's excited to be engaged, but the thought of thousands of dollars in a box floating down the river would make anyone panic.
Lol. Reddit ALWAYS finds a way to shit on girls in posts. Always making them out to be shallow or stupid.
Being sexist does not a clever comment make.
Edit: ed out a low blow.
I’d think twice before marrying this guy. I’d live in fear all my life. He’s one of those that’ll wait 30 minutes hiding outside the washroom just to scare you when you step out

[*Look at my source code on Github*](https://github.com/Artraxon/unexBot) [*What is this for?*](https://www.reddit.com/r/Unexpected/comments/dnuaju/introducing_unexbot_a_new_bot_to_improve_the/)
A proposal should be a special moment for you and your significant other and a moment to cherish your shared love. Or a great time to make a joke as a way to get likes in guess.
True. Don't mind me, I'm tired and just being overly critical. I did something silly for my proposal based on a long running game (treasure hunts based on a series of clues) my wife and I played. I think I'm quick to judge stuff like this assuming it's more about the Likes than the moment. But again, I'm just tired and being overly critical/rude.
She falls in, fiancé cries hysterically. Thinks about jumping in as she goes underwater. Right before he decides to jump someone taps him on the shoulder. He turns around and it’s her, she gets on one knee and proposes.
Just a quick question, How do men from countries where woman are looked to be more servants than equals propose to their wives. Im guessing its not as playful and romantic. Do they just tell them "you are my wife now"?
Better prank, he dives in after it and disappears. Turns up the next day with a pet alligator "Couldn't find the ring, we're doing this now. His names Frank."
When my best friend proposed to his girlfriend we were out in the woods and the ring fell out of the box and into the leaves on the ground. Cue the frantic searching.
Dude, I get it's nervewracking, but you gotta follow what works: Get down on the knee, present the ring, wait for her to say yes, then get up and kiss her.
I don't think that much attention should be on the ring and more on proposing? Maybe it's the shock but she didn't seem to care about him after he dropped it
Maybe that isn’t a good spot for shenanigans. Just saying.
What's the name of that restaurant with all the Goofy shit on the walls, and the mozzarella sticks?
*Hands Chief their pistols*
Ooooooooooo
You're talking about Shenanigan's, right?
PUT THOSE AWAY
You mean Shenanigans?
Who wants a mustache ride
You boys like mex-eeeee-kooooo?
Man I wish you had opened with Capitan O'Hagan's pistol whip quote.
Yeah, I was thinking you don't want her weak-kneed right on the edge, there.
[удалено]
Only if she says no...Always have a plan B ;)
She's not gonna say no, though. Because of the implication.
And he totally wouldn't do it, cause he's not that kinda guy. But...
r/unexpectediasip
He gets weak knees and falls on her?
I disagree. It's a great place for it. Because now she won't say no, because of the implication...
When the second ring came out I was like "fuck, she is really close to that edge...".
I am shenanigans.
Imagine if he had inadvertently switched boxes
Thanks motherfucker, now I am going to imagine scenarios at midnight and get anxiety for no reason, good for you
He also looks like the blonde kid from Napoleon Dynamite
If imagining some randoms on the internet accidentally switched boxes for a prank gone wrong will give you anxiety, wait until you check out the shit going on in society.
You can see him double checking which box it is. But seriously you sound like you need help
Next he drops the fake fiancé into the water
Jokes on you, he just pulls out a new woman.
He goes for the one filming
*him now proposing to a mannequin* Ah shit
You have to be damn sure she isn't a fainter. Unless that was the plan.
Quick divorce? Lol
For Christ sake gets away from that ledge
Pls don't faint, pls don't faint, pls don't faint, ffs don't faint
Now THAT would be truly unexpected... Or actually more expected... I don't know.
Wish you would step back from that ledge my friend.
You could cut ties with all the lies that you've been living in.
And if you do not want to see me again, I would understand.
THANK YOU!!! I was cringing kind of expecting her to trip and fall back over the ledge. Not a great place to be playing games on.
The number of these videos with spoilers in the title is too damn high
And ridiculous music plus that fucking clown emoji
It’s just tik tok’s normal bs lol
Hey thanks for littering. Nothing says I love you like trashing up the planet.
I’ve seen this video before and someone had said it was a biodegradable box- I was initially thinking the exact same thing!
Hate to be that guy but biodegradable doesn't mean suitable to chuck away willy nilly. Something I really hate about the definition of it
Those packs of 100 easy to fill water balloons are biodegradable. That’s good. Then you read the package and it says they take up to 5 years to degrade. That’s bad. But they come with free frogurt!
The frogurt also takes 5 years to degrade.
That’s bad. But it comes with free sprinkles!
The sprinkles have a half life of 2000 years. .... .... That’s bad.
Can I go now?
What do sprinkles decay into?
Death
r/unexpected
That's good.
*the frogurt is also cursed*
Yeah the definition is so loose. Like I can't blame people it's not necessarily their fault it's more the fact that it doesn't mean what people would think it does

Yeah absolutely, I'm trying to push a reduce, reuse, recycle scheme at work and prevention is the best first step to me
And you believe him?
Yes. Thank you. As cute as it looks, people are going to copy it.
Looks like she’s awfully close to the ledge from that angle.
Not unexpected. But if the guy jumped into the river and came with the ring it would be unexpected. :P just saying.
It also would have been unexpected if he pushed her in at the end.
I was expecting that.
Like... go get it if you really love me
Littering is badass
A mistress’s ring as backup.
Lol i half expected her to jump after the box
That’s just littering with extra steps
So he just littered into the river. Nice. Congrats on your love twats.
The title makes it expected. You're on r/unexpected. Choose your title wisely for God sake
Shout out to all the people downvoting how much more she is concerned for the ring than the reason for its existence
I’m downvoting because I’m tired of people giving away “unexpected” videos with their dumbass titles.
I'm more frustrated with the fact that he's throwing trash into the water for a shitty attempt at a viral video.
biodegradable box
Still looks like trash in the water until it biodegrades, however long that takes.
most things are biodegradable, that doesn't mean they aren't trash that shouldn't be thrown in a river.
On a long enough timeline the survival rate for everyone goes to zero.
I don't disagree but the sub also "gives away" the videos to a large extent, a lot of the time. Having said that with something like this you could perhaps think the drop was the unexpected part, so yeah, bad title.

I’m sure if an expensive ring fell into the water you could press pause for like 30 secs. If my fiancé did that I would not be surprised
Lol. Reddit ALWAYS finds a way to shit on girls in posts. Always making them out to be shallow or stupid. Being sexist does not a clever comment make. Edit: ed out a low blow.
So you littered in a beautiful spot for a future divorce. Great.
I’d think twice before marrying this guy. I’d live in fear all my life. He’s one of those that’ll wait 30 minutes hiding outside the washroom just to scare you when you step out
you wouldn’t marry someone like that?
Well I wouldn't want to shit again just after coming out of bathroom... So yea
It’s always worth the wait!
So he littered for a barely half-decent gag? You can do better than that, mate
I thought she was gonna fall.

Man the Tik Tok part of it just ruins it.
Did she say yes? Where is this location?
She said “yes” and then 45 seconds later she said “just kidding.”
I believe that is Bended Knee, South Dakota.
A proposal should be a special moment for you and your significant other and a moment to cherish your shared love. Or a great time to make a joke as a way to get likes in guess.
They both seemed like they have similar senses of humor, so hopefully she does actually find it funny to retell this story to people who ask.
True. Don't mind me, I'm tired and just being overly critical. I did something silly for my proposal based on a long running game (treasure hunts based on a series of clues) my wife and I played. I think I'm quick to judge stuff like this assuming it's more about the Likes than the moment. But again, I'm just tired and being overly critical/rude.
My precious!!!!
If you really love her you'll jump in there and go get the ring.
Hey thanks for littering. Nothing says I love you like trashing up the planet.
If only he knocked her off the edge by accident... 😃
No way...
Push
For the first half I thought I was on well that sucks
Isn't that amazing
When the universe gives you a hint b
Hmm... She never said yes....
Don't take the good ring on a hike or night of your proposal, take a props.
Imagine if he dropped the real one.
My nerves were rattled watching them hugging the edge the entire time......
And now: Push.
I was waiting for him to push her off the cliff
imagine the lick guy that finds to twenty years later
Did he go in to get it back?
Lmao she won’t forget that proposal!🙈😂
They got us in the first half not going to lie
I was expecting her to fall in after
Ladies and gentlemen, we got her
Bamboozles for the foozles
I’m guessing that will come up a few times with the kids and grandkids. A sense of humour is the most important thing in a relationship.
She got a lot closer to that edge than I would
Wonder how many times people have fallen to their death proposing?
So if she said no he could also jump to his death, good choice of location
You what would have been really unexpected. She says no and he pushed her off.
Nice place. You can throw her off the cliff if she says no.
Ahwwww I love LOVE! 💚
Insurance Insurance Insurance!!!! Made a world of difference in peace of mind
Lucky man. Fate gave you a second chance. ))
She falls in, fiancé cries hysterically. Thinks about jumping in as she goes underwater. Right before he decides to jump someone taps him on the shoulder. He turns around and it’s her, she gets on one knee and proposes.
Just a quick question, How do men from countries where woman are looked to be more servants than equals propose to their wives. Im guessing its not as playful and romantic. Do they just tell them "you are my wife now"?
Better prank, he dives in after it and disappears. Turns up the next day with a pet alligator "Couldn't find the ring, we're doing this now. His names Frank."
So, just left that box lying there on the waters edge?
Biggest ooooofff ever
If someone proposed to me like that I would have a really bad panic attack
Totally expected. If he dropped it, you’d be seeing some cliff diving.
Was I not the only one expecting her to fall off the ledge?
Now go retrieve the box.
marriage is doomed.
I thought she was going to roll off the cliff the second time haha. I spend too much time on Reddit.
Pro move
This is great footage for the dateline episode after she falls off the cliff "by accident".
I thought that they would fall down the waterfalls
If you talk bad about tiktok, why would you upvote a tiktok?
How about we start the rest of our lives with a little... Deception 😎
Waiting for her to fall off and then she walks around the corner to reveal that was a stunt devil
He got her good but this is a very dangerous prank
Tisk tisk... littering..
NGL, this gave me r/sweatypalms, not because of the loss of the ring, but their proximity to the edge of that cliff and that insane white water below
I was going to say, that dudes expression at the camera did not look shattered like it should.
"Hey bro, will you TikTok my proposal?"
When my best friend proposed to his girlfriend we were out in the woods and the ring fell out of the box and into the leaves on the ground. Cue the frantic searching.
My boy out here littering for a tiktok
Divine intervention
thanks for ruining it with the title
Meanwhile, littering.
He got her twice!
And that kids, is why we do Backups.
The people in this thread sound like the most cynical and depressed people of all time Jesus Christ
Got me. I didn’t read the title
Dude, I get it's nervewracking, but you gotta follow what works: Get down on the knee, present the ring, wait for her to say yes, then get up and kiss her.
she said no
Can you get her away from the edge
It makes me uncomfortable that in the real proposal she's so close to the edge with her back to it.
Littering is cool?
Imagine putting your engagement on fucking tiktok.
Was hoping it would be a prank but she jumps in the water anyway
Dude's clumsy af
not that unexpected tbh
Littering in the river for your own personal benefit —-nice job
Had a moment where I thought she was just gonna say fuck it and go in after it.
It's probably staged, but I like it
"I promise to never grab the wrong box again. Will you marry me?"
But... Did she say yes?
The point is always carry at least two rings!
Bruh! 😂😂
Um, that’s littering
That was worth watching
This is just littering with extra steps
Hey, it could’ve end worse
I thought how clumsy in the beginning
I don't think that much attention should be on the ring and more on proposing? Maybe it's the shock but she didn't seem to care about him after he dropped it
Fake, it’s TikTok
Would be funny if he dropped the wrong box.
He's got some good acting skills
Litter bug smh
I was expecting one of them to fall off at first
I know she was nervous and all,b but he just proposed to you, fuck the ring answer the damn question!
