"The buff man strokes the large spiky yellow fruit [I don't know the name] in his hands with his forehead."

demoninyourdreams · Answer

@cmertb Depends on what happened later in the video. (*>ω<*) If he dragged his forehead along it, 'strokes'. If he bashed his forehead against it, 'strikes'. @superfly031

demoninyourdreams · Answer

@superfly031 I think I found the name of the fruit! It's called a 'durian'. "The buff man strokes the durian (large spiky yellow fruit) in his hands with his forehead."

@cmertb Okay? My comment is information for the  original poster (OP) as well.

@cmertb あのー、一体どういう意味ですか？

demoninyourdreams · Answer

@cmertb You mentioned the possibility of the guy smashing his head instead of stroking it. So for the original poster @superfly031 , I included an explanation of the two possibilities just in case. There's nothing wrong with providing additional information which would be potentially useful to the person I'm helping, the OP.

demoninyourdreams · Answer

@lc For the record, all of your replies so far have been completely unnecessary. It just seems a bit hypocritical. Your words of complaint don't have much weight if you're saying it as you do the exact same thing. But fine, as requested, I won't @ mention you specifically, even though the person this message is directed to should be quite obvious.

demoninyourdreams · Answer

@lc Oh, I think you've mistaken my intentions. I wasn't trying to correct you or reply directly to you. I was simply tagging you as a courtesy so that it didn't look like I also suddenly thought of the alternative possibility 'strikes' without you mentioning it first. I was simply crediting you and connecting the dots. It's unfortunate if you mistook that as some sort of an insult. I'll avoid replying to you specifically in the future if that's what you would prefer even after this explanation. Others have understood... But I suppose it's fine if you just don't like being mentioned under any circumstances. じゃあー

demoninyourdreams · Answer

@lc For you in particular, sure. Now that the original confusion has been cleared up, I don't mind. Have a nice day.

demoninyourdreams · Answer

@lc Actually, many others have responded very positively to my crediting them and adding additional information. I say you in particular because to date, not a single other person has minded one bit. It's usually appreciated, which is why I was so taken aback at your response. If you feel the need I take up this issue with someone else in the future, please make sure to specify yourself. And if possible, your reason. It will save them a lot of time. Well, I think I've clearly gotten the message across by now. Bye~

demoninyourdreams · Answer

@lc And yet despite that, you willfully ignore it and continue to respond anyway for no reason. You're certainly... persistent. Should I say 'hey' now with the assumption that you'll reply yet again? Needlessly, yet again? (Please note, all statements with question marks in this comment are rhetorical. No reply needed.)

demoninyourdreams · Answer

@cmertb Right back at you. What did I just say? "No reply needed." And yet you still wouldn't just stop commenting! You have a problem. Please do not treat others with the same ridiculous pettiness you have displayed in this post. Have some respect. If you have an issue with something or someone, how about you make it absolutely clear from the start what that issue is? Since you're the only one on HiNative who has it. Finally, you get what I’ve been thinking about you and your strange obsession with replies from the beginning.

@superfly031 I hope so too. (^-^) 役に立てて良かったです！
3:15 of the video → "The boy attempts to split a watermelon by smashing his head against it." 
At least, this is what the video is about. Without reading the title and listening to their conversation, I would personally have just said that it's a kid who for some reason keeps hitting his head on a watermelon (it's extremely unlikely that anyone could smash one with their head... their head will just get injured).
Then at 5:02 of the video → "Having failed, he attempts to break it with his hand by 'karate chopping' it."
Hope this helped. (´^ω^｀)

Struck or stroked?

cmertb · Answer

@meikora I'm asking the poster to clarify which word he meant. I'm not asking what these words mean.

cmertb · Answer

@meikora Please be careful with the reply function in the future.

cmertb · Answer

@meikora You hit reply on my comment to answer a question I didn't actually ask. Please don't do that, it's distracting. Is this understandable to you now?

cmertb · Answer

@meikora I said "don't reply to me", not "don't provide additional information to the OP". It seems you got a bit of a pattern going in replying to something other than what is asked or stated. :)

cmertb · Answer

@meikora *sigh* I think what should be quite obvious is that the point of this whole conversation is to explain to you that you shouldn't reply to people when you don't mean to reply to them. When you mean to reply to me, yes, go ahead and hit that reply button. Although I'm starting to suspect that you're simply pulling my leg by feigning incomprehension time after time. No one should be that obtuse.

I do admit that my replies so far have been futile; nevertheless, I'm going against experience and keep holding on to some hope that you will finally get the message.

cmertb · Answer

@meikora Good. And to summarize: "Please be careful with the reply function in the future."

cmertb · Answer

@meikora I was hoping you'd be careful for everyone's sake as well, not just mine, but I guess this is progress?

cmertb · Answer

@meikora I honestly don't know why you feel the need to keep justifying yourself. Especially considering the fact that you've said good-bye three times already. :)

cmertb · Answer

@meikora Sorry to disappoint, but while initially your incomprehension was frustrating, now I'm simply amused by your need to get the last word in, as well as endless attempts to justify a trivial goof that would have otherwise been unworthy of any discussion. I'm sorry if I'm causing you any anguish, but I can't resist pointing this out.

Now, here's how you say "bye" and actually leave. Bye. ;)

@cmertb Depends on what happened later in the video. (>ω<) If he dragged his forehead along it, 'strokes'. If he bashed his forehead against it, 'strikes'. @superfly031

@superfly031 I think I found the name of the fruit! It's called a 'durian'. "The buff man strokes the durian (large spiky yellow fruit) in his hands with his forehead."
