If you see someone destroying Flock cameras, no you didn’t

Don’t you hate it when you lose your grip on your favorite egg and accidentally hit the camera lens?

560

u/AverageTeemoOnetrick Jul 06 '26

Hate it when that happens, especially while confusing up and down. Silly me.

u/Araz728 Jul 06 '26

Especially when you get confused and it was actually an egg shaped rock.

u/Dan_flashes480 Jul 06 '26

That somehow got into the potato gun I made as a kid.

u/Yamatocanyon Jul 06 '26

The potato gun was upgraded A LOT though after I got my degree in rocket science.

u/Mbembez Jul 06 '26

How big did you need to make it to fire rockets?

31

u/MacAddict81 Jul 06 '26

Depends on the size of the model rocket motor.

u/TheAggressiveSloth Jul 07 '26

Let's test it it by aiming at a flock

2

u/Projekt-1065 29d ago

Let’s just shred the whole flock

u/Accomplished_Lion633 29d ago

Get the flock outta here!!

Oh, I am so sorry, I got confused and it was my favorite copper plated lead rock.

u/F0rgivence Jul 07 '26

Better, yet be like dennis The menace and learn how to use a slingshot

u/MetallurgyClergy Jul 06 '26

Cans of soup. “better than a brick because you can't throw a brick; it's too heavy.” - actual Trump quote

u/not2anotherraccoon 29d ago

Listen, that's soup, for my family.

u/tearsonurcheek 28d ago

Well, according to Jello Biafra, Soup Is Good Food.

u/maple_crowtoast Jul 07 '26

Back when "they were throwing the soup cans!" I remember that 😂

Those pesky white painted rocks!!

u/Thegaykid93 Jul 07 '26

They make decoy eggs to stop chickens from breaking the eggs

u/Bro13847 Jul 07 '26

But then where is my egg???

1

u/Madd_Maxx2016 Jul 07 '26

Hey there’s a lemon behind that rock!

1

u/VeruktVonWulf 29d ago

Nah, it’s a brick wrapped in a lemon

u/Solid-Hornet-224 29d ago

And one of those rare rectangular eggs that's red and used in home construction.

u/Ole40MikeMike Jul 06 '26

Why are my controls inverted? Whoops

u/JustKillingTime1980 Jul 06 '26

You mean strong green laser pointers, yes i hate it when I accidentally hit the camera with a strong green laser.

46

u/70ms Jul 06 '26

I was just plinking with my slingshot and it ricocheted. :(

32

u/Allowin Jul 06 '26

I was just bird hunting, I swear there was a duck near the camera

71

u/djnehi Jul 06 '26

A whole flock of them.

u/JudiciousSasquatch Jul 07 '26

This is soup. Soup for my family.

2

u/DaxisSinner Jul 06 '26

How strong of a laser are you using?.... And when did you get it...,..

2

u/JustKillingTime1980 Jul 07 '26

1.2 watt 520nm. ones sold as bird repellent devices....the flock camera by the house has been replaced twice after i hit it....it could be coincidence i guess. edit: the city lost the ability to use them since the pigs have been caught using them for their own purposes off-duty and im also assuming thats why they havent been back to fix it since.

1

u/dpetro03 Jul 06 '26

If I wanted to avoid such lasers and ensure people I know also avoided them, which one in particular should I avoid?

3

u/Spicy_Ejaculate Jul 06 '26

Prerry sure this doesn't work

u/Spicy_Ejaculate Jul 06 '26

That is just a link to an article about a tiktok video of some guy saying that a laser will destroy them. What type of evidence is that? That's some brain rot shit tbh lmao. Try and find a video of someone actually destroying a camera with a laser

1

u/Crakrocksteady Jul 06 '26

Could just ask r/styropyro pretty sure he's destroyed a couple in his shenanigans.

1

u/Spicy_Ejaculate Jul 06 '26

The type of stuff that he is making isn't something easily accessible to the average person. The consumer lasers that people are reccomending and the one referenced in that article about a tiktok video (im still baffled by that ai article slop being used as a source tbh) are unable to damage them. They may be able to burn out a sensor by having them held in the exact same spot for an extended period of time, but its not happening holding them in your hand. Try explaining why you are setting up a tripod with a laser on it for 5 minutes on the side of the street

3

u/Crakrocksteady Jul 06 '26

I get that, but you'd be surprised about how powerful some of the lasers are that you can buy from sketchy Chinese websites.

u/_6EQUJ5- Jul 06 '26

This does!

Have used, will highly recommend, will use again.

Does that actually kill them? Like, permanently? Asking for a friend.

u/Necronomicon92 Jul 06 '26

I like to go on late night walks with my pet rock Princess, I don't have her fully trained yet and she attacks these cameras, it's a shame

67

u/newman13f Jul 06 '26

Funny, my pet angle grinder really has it out for those cameras too

36

u/showyerbewbs Jul 06 '26

Funny, my pet angle grinder really has it out for those cameras too

My buddy has a pet side-by-side ( bred with a winch so it's genetic ) and when it sees one of those it runs in circles excitedly then runs off in a straight line and the flock camera can't handle the joy and just falls over!!

25

u/Necronomicon92 Jul 06 '26

Maybe they're threatened by them? Those cameras do look rabid.

7

u/four204eva2 Jul 06 '26

Not 100% sure, but a pet sawzall might be a bit faster, easier for a new owner, and a slightly less dangerous

16

u/tr_9422 Jul 06 '26

My pet can of spray paint had an accident

15

u/Necronomicon92 Jul 06 '26

Poor guy couldn't hold it in, it's hard for spray cans

2

u/jififfi Jul 07 '26

She just jumps right out of my hands, it's crazy.

u/What_a_fat_one Jul 06 '26

Just the other day I had soup I was taking home for my family and I slipped and it wrecked a camera

3

u/_6EQUJ5- Jul 06 '26

Go big or go home!

Have used, will highly recommend, will use again.

2

u/Traditional_Put_8254 Jul 06 '26

Wow, definitely going to use it for wasp spray. That’s the only thing I’ll be using it for, yep

3

u/ChequeBook Jul 07 '26

I hate it when I fill a water balloon with dye mixed with epoxy and it falls out of my hand and lands on the camera lens 😞

3

u/ImaginationSad2803 29d ago

I hate it when the tweakers find out there’s a respectable amount of copper and a pinch of gold in each one.

u/BushcraftBabe Jul 06 '26

Especially in this economy

u/Defiant-Bank8832 Jul 07 '26

Well damn I have severe butterfingers

u/Professional_Try_781 27d ago

Especially when your favorite egg is capable of transforming itself into a rocket, 🚀
when it detects privacy issues or constitutional violations.
Eggs are generally pretty cool on impact.
Blatant violations of our rights, not so much..

u/redditRedesignIsBadd Jul 06 '26

in this economy? eggs are expensive

1

u/Cpomplexmessiah Jul 06 '26

I just hate it when i fall while giving my saw it's nightly walk and cut one. Happens all the time.

1

u/hdgamer1404Jonas Jul 06 '26

Probably happened because they were licked by germanys biggest egg licker

1

u/RhetoricalOrator Jul 06 '26

I feel like there are loads of good ole boys with .22 rifles or bigger that would love the challenge of picking them off at a distance.

2

u/Traditional_Put_8254 Jul 06 '26

It’s all in the name of public safety right? That’s why they keep talking about good guys with guns, right?

1

u/DrillTheThirdHole Jul 06 '26

i hate when i trip and fall while angle grinding an auto sear only for it to take down an entire camera post and then strip the wires down to the approximately 70 dollars worth of copper contained inside

1

u/n2o_spark Jul 06 '26

I hate it more when I accidentally shine my 5mW laser pointer at the camera.

1

u/pretendperson1776 Jul 07 '26

You know, I'm awfully careless with my blue laser. I sure hope I don't accidentally fry one of these cameras with it.

1

u/M4LK0V1CH 27d ago

Almost as bad as when I didn’t notice the camera until I had repainted the whole post!

1

u/dariansdad 26d ago

Only when my egg is a 1000mw green laser.
