October 6, 2024Typhoon Yagi that killed 800+ people dissipated a month ago, but my street in northern Thailand is still waist-high flooded like this

Affectionate_Walk610 on July 8, 2024 3:41 pm can’t convince me that they didn’t punch a hole thrugh reality. Also: blackest substance? Of courxe it belongs on a basketball.
makemycockcry on July 8, 2024 3:43 pm No, it was Black 3.0 it’s now Black 4.0. it’s not interesting it’s wrong. (Again.)
ServantofShemhazai on July 8, 2024 3:47 pm So weird. I looks like someone digitally removed something from the picture.
starsky1984 on July 8, 2024 4:08 pm He’s been hiding that ball for 5 years now – how about a video or newer photos that actually show it properly
No_Swan_9470 on July 8, 2024 4:09 pm The image has been posted and screenshotted so many times you can see the jpeg artifacts in the black area.
AnewLifeFromTheAshes on July 8, 2024 4:09 pm My brain is having an issue seeing this. Looks like someone used Windows paint and colored it out.
Mr_Culver on July 8, 2024 4:10 pm It looks like someone just photoshopped a black circle over his hand. Crazy
AlwaysDeath on July 8, 2024 4:20 pm Vantablack is no longer the darkest substance ever created (99.96% light absorption). A [new substance has been created by MIT engineers](https://sitn.hms.harvard.edu/flash/2019/back-black-new-blackest-material/) that absorbs 99.995% of light.
_Hexagon__ on July 8, 2024 4:23 pm It isn’t the blackest substance anymore for 5 years now. https://sitn.hms.harvard.edu/flash/2019/back-black-new-blackest-material/ But neither are commercially available, so the blackest substance on the market might be Musou Black’s Kiwami fabric https://the-black-market.com/products/musou-black-fabric-kiwami
CriminallySleepwalks on July 8, 2024 4:24 pm Nah, that is a portable hole. Keep that thing away from any bags of holding.
vinetwiner on July 8, 2024 4:31 pm Where is his hand? Being a basketball, we would see part of his hand/fingers under the ball. No way in hell he’s palming that ball from behind.

Someone put Mr. Popo’s face on that thing

And it’s super toxic, need for mask and gloves.

Formerly the blackest substance.
Peeps are getting tattoos with this now
Hasn’t it been superseded?
Who Framed Roger Rabbit?
Looks like a hole in reality

Hand it over… that thing, your dark ball
I can do that with MS Paint and no science.
Not the blackest substance.
Maybe we created black holes and this is just the start

It’s so black that it even got censored

None more black.
Damn I haven’t unlocked the basket ball yet
Like to see the angle where he’s holding it.
Looks like he‘s trolling and shows us a censored middle finger
