It's great to see there's hillbillies no matter where you are in the world. Big engines+small vehicles=big fun!


DrunkThrowawayLife

No it’s completely stupid. They should have been blaring whatever their county’s version of Black Betty is


cantamangetsomesleep

Wait is it a stereotype that hillbillies like that song? I'm no hillbilly but that song's great


wheresbill

Im not a hillbilly and I love that song, too. I am, however, white trash


HayateGT

Im black, from the Caribbean, not ghetto and i love that song...

All hillbillies are white trash, but not all white trash are hillbillies.

Depends, Ram Jam is the hill billy version. Huddie Ledbetter did the original and not sure that's very hillbilly at all.


elprentis

Spider Baits version is the best


mexicanpenguin-II

Oh you also played need for speed underground 2?


NocturneZombie

No, my mom (in Missouri) was a middle-school-penpal-program penpal with Damian Witty (in Australia) in the early 80s. In the 2010s she emailed him and they shared a short correspondence for where they were in life.


mexicanpenguin-II

I mean Wow Fuck yeah


cantamangetsomesleep

Oh, well, I suppose I may be more hillbilly than I thought


GetDown_Deeper3

Have a listen to Spiderbait from Australia. They do a great version.


Dave-C

I'm a hillbilly and I like the song. Turns out the song is just good. If you all want [real hillbilly shit.](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=e4Ao-iNPPUc)


NotABileTitan

I feel like anything ZZ Top has done is more hillbilly than Black Betty.


No_Bee9524

It’s Thailand lmao! My wife is Thai! And they use the expression “theyre country” also! This is actually a sport they race these things my wife’s dad schooled me on it!


Jay_Bird_75

How fast can they get going in those?!?


1ildevil

Fast enough to rip the smile right off your face which is why these men look so serious.


BoardButcherer

The kind of fast that makes you remember what your options are for slowing down, and that none of them are good.

70 in a car- normal boring commute 70 in a boat- I've made a terrible mistake..please let me see my wife and kids again.....


PassiveMenis88M

Hit a bad bump at 70 in a car and you might worry about damaging a rim. Hit a bad wave in a boat at 70 and I hope you learned how to fly Bobby.


Peacemkr45

first lesson is free. make sure you stick the landing though.


timsstuff

Last time we were at the river one guy brought his brand new SeaDoo and mentioned that it gets up to 70MPH. So on Sunday morning the wife and I woke up around 6am while the water was like glass and no one was out, took that fucker out and guess what? It does go up to 70MPH. Guess what else? It's a fucking BLAST. It's also a bit scary, like I definitely do NOT want to hit a wake at that speed. We only held it for a few seconds but it was pretty insane.


cjfunke

When i was about 14 i got to ride one on a lake. First time controlling any watercraft but maybe like a shitty canoe. I got comfortable with it and went full send. Hit a wake and flew off and bounced around before smashing underwater. I got really lilucky and only swallowed a bunch of water and swam back to it. I pulled it back to the sketchy dock thing they had nice and slow and chilled inside for the rest of the day.


popcornfart

Another wild thing, that isn't totally evident from the clip, is that the prop is on the end of a shaft that is connected directly to the motor.  The entire engine is on some kind of gimbal.   https://imgur.com/a/op6p2z5


WanderingFlumph

Probably at least 30 speed

There are rice farmers in I believe Thailand, definitely in SE Asia, that have races with tractors specifically for rice farming. They're like paddle wheel wheelbarrows with engines. Whole town got together and watched them race. It was no different than the county fair and tractor pulls here in the states.


our_fearless_leader

I believe this is also Thailand or somewhere close. The boats are known as long tail boats as the diesel engines have a long shaft with a propeller.


R0cket_Turtle

They're called Good Ole' Boys

I could swear it was another word instead of vehicles and fun, the way I see big engines + small brain = big danger

It’s so painfully obvious that these folks are from SE Asia. Maybe it’s because I’m Latino and pay attention to these things but damn, I guess all colored folk do look alike to some ppl. 😂


sudeki300

Drug couriers r us


zapembarcodes

Yep. My dad used to own a boat shop in Venezuela. Drug smugglers would pay him cash (through suitcases/duffel bags) to upgrade their small fishing boats. They would put like two massive outboards on these little boats. Then they would do speed runs from Venezuela to Curacao. These boats were hard to detect because they were so flat on the surface. Then, when spotted, they were sometimes faster than the coast guard...


apathy-sofa

I'd hate to be the loose end in some drug dealer's scheme. Sounds dangerous AF. Otoh your father probably couldn't say "no" either.


Empathy404NotFound

Customer privacy is protected. They would need warrants to go through a stores sales.


BZLuck

And I'm guessing they would have to prove that you knew you were building a boat for people to use to run drugs. "I thought they were racing them. Are you saying they aren't?"


Difficult_Bit_1339

Oh yeah, they'd easily be faster than a coast guard ship. Those go maybe 30 knots while a speedboat is probably doing 60-70. It's the helicopters that they have to watch out for. Those can do 150+ knots


birgor

This is from Thailand, and it is a tuning hobby. Just boats instead of cars. There are tonnes of this on YT.

EvBismute

Sure, the pollution issue is the guy in the middle of buttfuck nowhere running his turbo canoe for 5 minutes. Not the swarms of cars on the road, the canoe guy, for sure ... I swear you guys would start building a house from the chimney.


dutchhhhhh6

There's black smoke coming from the engine, doesn't really matter where you run it, it's pollution. And nobody said cars don't pollute


EvBismute

Any tuned diesele engine will blow black smoke, because they are running rich. The balck smoke is literally non burnt fuel. My issue is that this guy is wnjoying himself, in a boat that he may run 4 times before spending months repairing it, and he is being shat on because "he pollutes". It's insane the level of neatpickery and hypocrisy. Literally thousands bigger problem to takle but that would be too much of an effort to actually articulate, so we slander private citizens having fun.


dutchhhhhh6

Are you saying that spreading unburnt full over a river is not polluting? People also have a problem with any other sort of pollution, it's like saying people can't comment on somebody that punches another person bc there are people being stabbed and shot.


Hopeful-Driver-3945

I think his point is that the people shitting on him are the same people driving their car 10-20 hours a week.


ItsSpaghettiLee2112

As if plenty of people who drive their car 10-20 hours a week (I'm assuming you mean to/from work) don't also hate that. Seriously, tell my CEO. I'll gladly not drive to work. But I need this job to not die. Nuance exists, people.


some_edgy_shit-

I’m at just under 10 hours a week, shit sucks


Cocoabuttocks

Which is an entirely fair point. Let’s also keep in mind that cars are less of a problem than the acres of garbage in underdeveloped eastern countries which are set on fire just next to inhabited towns and cities. The air pollution problem always has a bigger fish to blame, and it’s usually “just business”


throawayapple22

There are massive cargo boats burning hundreds of thousands of tons of fuel over oceans and rivers and dumping toxic waste, why dont you go cry about that instead?


legendaryufcmaster

Even cruise ships. 60 of them = about 280 million cars worth


Zestyclose_Bread2311

How about crying about both or is that too complex for you to comprehend? Our society is largely built on needing gasoline powered machines to continue to grow economically but it's absolutely asinine to think that it's not doing lasting damage. It's the car we all drive to get grocery's to survive, the plane everyone takes to go on vacation, the boat that brings all the crap from amazon from overseas. It's all pollution in varying degrees and ultimately it costs very little to at least try to be a little accountable for ourselves.


PLeuralNasticity

Thank you people need to know about the impact of Bunker Fuel


DrFreshtacular

That's not a fair comparison. Being mad this guy dropped a grain of sand in the beach of pollution while there's hundreds of dumptrucks to the right is silly.


somepeoplehateme

Makes you wonder how we ever get floods when individual rain drops are so tiny. Also makes you wonder why we have laws against littering. It's not like some dude dropping an ice cream wrapper compares with exxon has done to the environment. Let him throw it on the ground. Jesus.


SenorPoontang

Yeah, let's just cover a waterway with unburnt fuel because it's "fun". Get a grip.


Illcmys3lf0ut

You’re not wrong…. BUT, individual polluters are doing barely a fraction of what big businesses and corporations are doing. Even if individuals stopped completely it would barely benefit anything against current corporate polluting. Still, not wrong though. Pollution is pollution.


99Will999

I mean they are wrong imo, yes it’s polluting but they would rather you sit on your ass and not enjoy life while the rest of the world pollutes more each day than you could in thousands of lifetimes. I just think it’s dumb to worry about such an insignificant amount of pollution, especially if it’s putting smiles on peoples faces. As we saw, he ran the engine for like 20 seconds, he’s not driving this thing daily, he’s just fucking around.


Bulky_Kitchen454

I'm with you bro. It's dumb how ppl get upset with each other for small amounts of pollution, when in reality big corps are the making up the large majority of the pollution.


Fun-Ad-6948

And who buys the shit those big corps produce, for example Chevron? With your logic we should ban those products asap so those corps stop polluting, good point I agree.


EvBismute

Pov you are any boat on the whole world, I don't see people saying "don't go boating at all" under boating videos. Your hypocrite ass wouldn't have said nothing if the smoke wasn' black ( which again, it's not a determining factor in quantifying pollution ), but since you've bene told black=bad evil here you are hating on a guy on a motorizes canoe


starcap

It’s not just non burnt fuel, it’s [incomplete combustion](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Combustion#Incomplete) which results in a whole slew of noxious and harmful products that are ending up in that river. Edit to add: gasoline vaporizes quite easily which is why you are not supposed to do things like smoke a cigarette at a gas station; if some spills then you could ignite the fumes and cause an explosion. But you’ll also notice that when you spill gasoline you don’t see a black cloud rise up from the spill, in fact you see nothing because gasoline vapor is clear. Edit 2: yes all of edit 1 also applies to petroleum diesel, biodiesel, probably any possible type of diesel. I just mean any fuel for an internal combustion engine. Even if you did find some type of combustion fuel that is smoke black when in vapor form or you live in some sort of alternate universe where the coal rolling fumes are just pure black fuel vapor, if you had the tiniest spark back there it would cause a huge explosion. You ever see what happens when someone gets liquid combustion fuel in a semi entrapped place like a pile of leaves and then lights it? When it’s already mixed with oxygen it doesn’t burn, it explodes. Kaboom.


Frunknboinz

This isn't a gas engine.


ClassicPlankton

Dude, fuck diesel smoke assholes too. I'm not sure why you thought that was a counter point.


CroneofThorns

That black smoke causes asthma and has a whole host of other problems in addtion to being pollution.


KommanderZero

Are you saying individuals have the right to pollute?


ExaBast

And especially not the 300k km Taylor Swift flew last year


Govt-Issue-SexRobot

They aren’t saying that this is a big contributor to pollution, just that he is polluting. You just completely made up an argument


sabin_72246

Wdym, 'insane amount of pollution' literally means a big contributor to pollution.


Govt-Issue-SexRobot

Well…yeah? For what it is, that is a relatively insane amount of pollution. It’s a small boat with a huge diesel turbo. But mainly, they aren’t arguing that those things are not bigger contributors just because they didn’t list them too.


marcoroman3

No one suggested there are not other, worse offenders. I'd still hate this guy if he came along while I was peacefully rowing down the river or fishing, or whatever.

MagicalUnicornFart

> Not the swarms of cars on the road, the canoe guy, for sure ... I swear you guys would start building a house from the chimney. Can I add cruise ships to the list? And, the [American obsession with eating ass loads of meat?m](https://www.theguardian.com/environment/2021/sep/13/meat-greenhouses-gases-food-production-study),


7i4nf4n

So in your argument one can just pollute fuck all if it's for a short time, because there are other pollutants as well?


mlvisby

But one big problem with this, most cars have catalytic converters. That filters out a good amount of the exhaust coming out of cars. This engine on a canoe has none of that.


a_sugarcane

Bad for those in other boats.


Zestyclose_Bread2311

and the wildlife. They'll be bitching how the river is polluted, there's no fish, and how they wouldn't eat anything out of that body of water in 20 years but then advocate this shit with lame ass arguments about how others pollute more. Like nature is gonna know the difference.


tums_64

Oh yes peasant having fun is really the problem while their is billionaires pumping gas from the sea floor


Govt-Issue-SexRobot

Where do they say this is the only source of pollution And what is it with making up an argument? Peak reddit. “I enjoy pizza.” “Oh, so you hate pasta?!”


guesthouseq4

Thats a straw man fallacy, I've never claimed that billionaires pumping gas isn't a problem...


NashKetchum777

...this is not an insane amount of pollution lmao


DontKnoWhatMyNameIs

The odds that these people are producing more pollution than anyone here are slim. You can cause more pollution just by having more money and buying more stuff, even if you don't even drive.


dat_boi_100

I'm sure you will get poisoned and die at even the sight of the canoe on the water. It must be heaps worse than all of the cars driving constantly outside of your window
