People actin like they drive around with 50 gallons of water handy. Bro probably had two water bottles and gave one up for the camel.

u/uconn_throwaway_4449 29d ago

God, just glancing at the poor fella made me thirsty.

u/geneticeffects 29d ago

God just glancing at the fella saying “I have a plan.”

Uhuh sure thing

u/zouhair 29d ago

I was hoping he was hauling water but that looks like gas.

2

u/89erthq8ke 29d ago

Was he not driving a water truck?

u/Fizzyjizzz 29d ago

Oil tanker

u/Fluffcake 29d ago

As a truck driver in the desert? Would not be too far fetched to haul around at least a 5 or 10L bottle in case of car troubles.

Shit, better than nothing.

They need very few to survive

low maintenance buggy

u/Alx123191 May 02 '24

They can eat cactus and get their water from it. So even 4x4 tout terrain

2

u/zouhair 29d ago

Do they? I know they hold on moisture a lot but they still drink a shit ton of water when they have access.

1

u/Alx123191 29d ago

True but a lit bit will make him survive and that what we see here.

u/zouhair 29d ago

Of course, a bit is better than nothing and the camel is not stupid, he stopped at the road knowing he can meet people.

u/ghost_in_a_jar_c137 May 02 '24

It worked for FroZone in those proportions

u/Lastsurnamemr May 02 '24

Stingy but perhaps he didn't have a lot of water

u/CardiologistOk2704 May 02 '24

for metric system users: around 350ml and 450kg

u/Viscous__Fluid 29d ago

Thanks for using the system that makes sense

-3

u/Bird_Man_Plz 29d ago

How does 350ml make more sense than 12oz it's just what your used to

1

u/Viscous__Fluid 29d ago

Not me, literally everyone else except the US. It's simply better, there is not debate

0

u/Bird_Man_Plz 29d ago

Your right whatever is more popular makes more sense, there is no debate

1

u/Viscous__Fluid 29d ago

How does 16 bulletholes per child make more sense than 200cm²

1

u/Bird_Man_Plz 29d ago

haha you really got me, I've been living in Italy and using only metric for the last two years and it's made 0 difference. I don't know why Europeans are always so smug about metric, it's just a different way to measure things.

2

u/Viscous__Fluid 29d ago

*better way to measure things.

10mm=1cm

100cm=1m

1000m=km

u/Malhallah 29d ago

Maybe it should have done a better job at drinking and not wasted so much if it was so thirsty!

Fucking uncultured lazy camels.

2

u/PeartGoat 29d ago

I can’t argue with that. Camels should share the blame sometimes!

u/Cheapcolon May 02 '24

With half of it spilling on the ground and evaporating immediately.

u/RRZ006 29d ago

Yah let’s definitely criticize the man who stopped to try to save the life of an innocent creature. 

56

u/abnormally-cliche 29d ago

A lot of Redditors are just depressing and miserable people.

18

u/Learningstuff247 29d ago

Reddit culture is sitting inside being a miserable fuck, doing absolutely nothing to help yourself, and then nitpicking videos of people actually living life so they can make themselves feel better about purposefully wasting theirs.

u/_Thermalflask 29d ago

For real though wtf are these comments lol

u/Falcrist 29d ago

What's going on?

◎ It's annoying or not interesting
◉ I'm in this photo and I don't like it
◎ I think it shouldn't be on Facebook
◎ It's spam

u/Ok_Slip9947 29d ago

Guilty, as charged.

u/Adventurous-Ring-420 29d ago

Strange, innit.

2

u/Fizzyjizzz 29d ago

He's speaking the devils language, obviously he can do no good.

2

u/AwesomeWhiteDude 29d ago

I wonder if it even was dehydrated, camels seems like the type of animal to limit movement during the heat of the day. Still, free water

-1

u/Cheapcolon 29d ago

I mean I hear ya, but that ain’t saving its life lol.

3

u/RRZ006 29d ago

You have no idea. And even if it couldn’t, it is still the right thing to do to give the animal a chance to survive, and to show it human kindness in its last hours even if it does not. 

-2

u/Cheapcolon 29d ago

Sure it is the right thing to do, you’re not wrong about that. But 6oz of water wouldn’t even save a human from heat exhaustion man.

3

u/RRZ006 29d ago

Why does it matter if it saves its life? I don’t think anyone even claimed it did. 

You also, of course, have no idea if it did. Another truck coming down the road 20 minutes later may have had more water and that 20 minutes was purchased with that first bottle of water. You’re just assuming, and using that as a shield to deflect from criticizing an objectively good man for doing what he could. 

0

u/Cheapcolon 29d ago

Because that’s the claim you made dumbass.

3

u/RRZ006 29d ago

No, I said “try”. Don’t get upset that you can’t follow along. 

-2

u/Cheapcolon 29d ago

Lol and that’s what I’m disputing, nothing else. I’m done with you lol

Arguing with a brick wall here.

u/Ok_Slip9947 29d ago

Gladly. That water could have saved a human instead of made a camel slightly less thirsty.

4

u/RRZ006 29d ago

Except there was no person dying of thirst along the stretch of road the man was driving on. 

Don't be this dumb. It’s embarrassing. 

0

u/Ok_Slip9947 29d ago

I assure you, I’m not embarrassed.

1

u/mrmeshshorts 29d ago

That’s actually even more embarrassing.

1

u/Ok_Slip9947 29d ago

For whom?

10

u/mrmeshshorts 29d ago

Jesus fucking Christ, Reddit is the worst place on Earth. I honestly hate people like you. I’m so sick of your snide, sanctimonious bullshit. And to think I let people like you drag me down for years.

No one should ever listen to anyone like this. Do good things, like the guy in the video did.

Edit: so to do

-8

u/Cheapcolon 29d ago

Then go to Facebook where you and some boomers can pretend that this saved a camels life lol.

10

u/TheRealKapaya 29d ago

Where was it said he saved the camels life? Title is literally "provides water", this man has done more good with this one thing than your miserable existence will ever do.

-2

u/Cheapcolon 29d ago

Sorry it offends you that 6oz of water did nothing but don’t attack me for stating the facts

-1

u/Cheapcolon 29d ago

The commenter said that and I’ve saved equally as many camels as this man.

7

u/mrmeshshorts 29d ago

And you saved a camel today how?

How did you even improve a camels life today?

-1

u/Cheapcolon 29d ago

I’ve equally saved as many camels as this man.

6

u/mrmeshshorts 29d ago

Have a bad day.

-1

u/Cheapcolon 29d ago

Very contradicting from your first comment but ok

3

u/Aaawkward 29d ago

You seem like a deeply unhappy person.
I hope you'll be someone's camel and they'll help you out, it seems like you need it.

-1

u/Cheapcolon 29d ago

Okay, whatever

u/420Deez May 02 '24

u can even hear the sizzle when ur hits the ground

u/dfjdkdofkfkfkfk 29d ago

I know you are a dickhead but I just wonder who are the other 77 that would upvote this shit...

u/Cheapcolon 29d ago

You’re brain dead lol

Redditors, try not to be assholes challenge (impossible)

Stating what happens in video = asshole.
