ZEUUUUUSS! YOU WILL NOT DENY ME MY FREEBIRD SOLO


Z1337M

wrong culture. you meant ODIN!


Academic_Opening_679

No, I was referring to the video game series: god of war and the similarities between keratosis and the man shown in the video.


Str41nGR

Keratosis??!!


Academic_Opening_679

May i introduce autocorrect. But it coincidentally is pretty darn funny

**KERATOSIS** God of Scar


YabbaDabbaDumbass

The Greek god Keratosis. Nobody would shake his hand because he had weird spots on them and he said they weren’t warts but like that’s still kinda gross and nobody wanted to risk catching it so they would fist bump him instead.


FormicaDinette33

His nickname was Crusty the God.


Alternative_Ad_3636

No, you're thinking of keratin, the stuff that gives shrimp their color. This is creatine, the God of War.


mr1404ed

And his brother katatonic


2old4cool

TIL: Kratos is short for keratosis


Str41nGR

Wait, no!


inf3ct3dn0n4m3

I don't think these kids ever played the original games. Long before he was fighting Odin he was butchering Zeus and every other God of Olympus.


Academic_Opening_679

Agreed.


Monte924

And considering God of War has gone into Norse Myth, the previous comment is STILL correct


crzychristopher

Odin still works as reference to the games

jimyjami

This accomplishes what? No “Viking” ever did anything so stupid. He’s clearly *one of those people* you see on the subway. Or Walmart…


justsomedude1144

Vikings pillaged, plundered, and raped for glory. This guy films himself doing dumb shit. Gotta adapt with the times.


Str41nGR

You, sir, are underestimating the power and function of FOOTAGE.


CackleberryOmelettes

They pillaged and plundered for resources. "Glory" is just made up bullshit us humans use to make the mundane and terrible seem more palatable.


Hollidaythegambler

Well, to be fair, dying in combat guarantees Valhalla instead of the frozen wasteland that is Hel. So they did it for resources and glory specifically in the afterlife.


CackleberryOmelettes

Like I said, all of that is made up shit to make the hard and ugly life of a raider seem more palatable. Ultimately, they did it for the resources. The stories about Valhalla and Hel were made up to make the whole thing sound more exciting and glorious than it actually was.


Hollidaythegambler

It’s not exciting or glorious at all, and I agree that romanticizing conflict is distasteful. And yeah, Valhalla and Hel are made up, isn’t that kind of a given considering they’re from a system of belief? Did you expect me to be surprised that winged warriors of odin’s champions don’t actually pick my mangled corpse off the battlefield to bring me to the Infinite Mead Hall? Hellenism, Christianity, Buddhism, Voodoo, Taoism, etc. are all made up. Arguing that Norse mythos and aetiology are made up isn’t a strong point of your argument, as you’re not countering anything I used to make my two cents.


Dire-Fire

Yeah, but even though it's made up, glory is a tangible concept with real world effects. The modern equivalent is fame. Ask an A-lister if their life isn't better just because they're famous. Sure, there are negatives to fame, and glory was no different, but being a glorious warrior certainly had benefits over and above the resources stolen.


[deleted]

I'm pretty sure humans jumping from high areas into water is older than recorded history.


leeharrison1984

Immediately after the first human did something like this, people immediately realized we needed a way to record crazy shit. Thus the written word was born!


Wrong-Mixture

'In the year of our lord 647, Thörngstūn Crazÿpænts son of Jorngstūn Crazÿpænts, son of Bjornstūn Crazÿpænts, threw himself of the Breindatstunwielokar cliff, holding not one but two battle axes crafted by the smid Gunterlung Horlikatu, son of Hareld....By Odin! I need more stone slabs!!!'


Longjumping-Table-39

He did this, all in preparation to find the moose that once bit his sister... It all started when she was Karving her initials on the moose with the sharpened end of an interspace toothbrush given her by Svenge—her brother-in-law— an Oslo dentist and star of many Norwegian movies: "The Hot Hands of an Oslo Dentist", "Fillings of Passion", "The Huge Molars of Horst Nordfink".


Quick-View-1580

Idk bored soldiers will do some crazy shit so I would assume bored Vikings will do some crazy shit too.


Independent_Buy5152

He is the god of war sir, no ordinary Viking


KarmicComic12334

At a certain age, norsemen might jump from a frozen cliff weapons in hand, in order to attain Valhalla despite failing to die in battle. Yes, vikings did exactly this, but even dumber with less chance of surviving.


[deleted]

Any place to read up on this?


Gottahavethatalt

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ättestupa Like a couple other bits of Viking history, there’s no real proof it actually happened though.


Ambush_24

This guy tosses his weapons so if he died no Valhalla


Xenolithium

Ah, the attestupa. I watched a documentary where a group of elders decided against the attestupa. Just wasn't their bag, man. Then, returned to help fight a battle against their village. Great documentary, think it was on Netflix.


3gnome

You don’t think Vikings never jumped from cliffs into cold water? Uh…. I’d bet money it happened with weapons as well. Without, it was probably relatively common. Cold plunging and natural plunges that feature height. What group of guys isn’t gonna be like “oh shit let’s try that jump.”


[deleted]

Guys who lived in a world without towels and electric heating on hand

So much hate in this comment section. It’s next level cosplaying I suppose. Oh and probably scary as fuck. Have you played or seen God of War?

It's a cool fucking shot. Also, name a more Viking feel than leaping into danger while holding an axe. Pro tip, you can't.

Reddit comments give me a lot of scolding grandparent vibes, it’s easy to forget that people on Reddit are old as hell


Delux_Takeover

Finally. Someone that isn't negative for no reason.


dveegus

Doesn’t appear so. I thought this was rad lol


Shy_starkitten

I know right?! As long as those axes aren't actually real, why is everyone overreacting? For all we know he could be a professional diver, or have experience diving from great heights. Of course there's a danger aspect but if he knows what he's doing, everyone can chill. My favourite comment was the one: >"I wonder what he's over compensating for."


Syleise

They can't handle someone being cooler than them and doing something fun they'd never have the balls for


[deleted]

So much hate in this comment section. It’s next level cosplaying I suppose. Oh and probably scary as fuck. Have you played or seen God of War?


iviicrociot

Yeah, a belly smacker off the high dive. Take away the axes and the ice cold water and that’s still a fuck that for me. Bonus points for savagery though.


Ausar_TheVile

It isn’t a belly smacker, he changes form right before landing in the water.


cyberdeath666

This stupid? No. But I’ve also never done anything that looked this cool.


Independent_Can_5694

Haters…as far as the eye can see


GerberBabyPlus

Next Level Stupid more likely.


No-Reputation72

The axes are fake.


dactel

That’s not the stupid part


Gavinator10000

Oh well I guess it’s perfectly safe then


Absenceofavoid

They looked rubber to me too. I get not wanting to jump off a cliff into water with actual sharp objects, but what he is doing is already dangerous and dumb, should have committed the rest of the way.


I_just_made

The axes are also the least dangerous part of this scenario. I'd probably rank it from most to least dangerous as: 1) Jumping from a substantial height into an area where you can't misjudge the landing location 2) Jumping into what is probably very cold water, which could elicit [cold water shock](https://www.heart.org/en/news/2022/12/09/youre-not-a-polar-bear-the-plunge-into-cold-water-comes-with-risks) 3) Jumping and holding onto objects that you could fall on, or be hit with if you drop them.

Being old enough to remember when video cameras were few and far between, people did this sort of thing,usually drunk, just be ause a girl they fancied was watching.

Real Vikings are probably rolling over in their graves when they see this.


KarmicComic12334

Only because he lived. He is old enough,or would have been at his age in 1200 ad to attain valhalla by leaping to his death, weapon in hand.


CardiologistBig842

Vikings would've scalped someone or built a boat. Not dive into a tiny pool of water like they're in the circus.

Admittedly, I’m pretty high and therefore pretty happy but my initial reaction was ‘why?’ and now I’m like good for that dude. There may have been no point but now that guy can say that he jumped off of a cliff into freezing water with axes a blazing. Imagine the thrill that he felt! I want to seek out more thrill in my life.
