Non-Cubers say the darndest things!

[Cubing Forever]

They get super proud of themselves after learning LBL, and say why am I doing cubing a lot, while its just one LBL trick, no point in wasting time.

They roll their eyes, when I say about advanced methods like CFOP,Roux and 3-style.

One example of these types of noncubers is my li'l brother. He always mocks me while I'm cubing.

Lol when I started cubing, I thought that LBL itself is CFOP and I thought that Feliks used LBL. I was proved wrong when J Perm showed a fast CFOP example solve with F2L in his method comparison video.
I couldn't even understand what comms are as a beginner. Now I can solve a cube using comms easily (Ofc not blindfolded lol)

Imagine the amount of effort it will take to explain a non-cuber what 5-style is.

Even seasoned speedcubers have mistake understanding that algset.

For beginner's LBL = god's algorithm.

5 style is just 3 style but instead of 3 cycles, it is 5 cycles right ?
(Lol correct me if I'm wrong)
I know the effort needed to explain what comms are to a total noncuber

Yes that is pretty much correct.

my uncle says "i can solve the rubiks cube in under16 seconds with just one hand without looking" even though he doesnt know how to.

umm sounds like a great uncle.

 

[Cubing Forever]

I was at the dentist's to get braces (It's painful lol). I was supposed to wait and got bored. So, I was doing some 3x3. The guy next to me kept watching for an hour straight. When I asked him a few questions, he really told that he was a "sticker-peeler" lol

 

[DiamondGolem12]

A few experiences I've had:

So I was playing football and this guy came up to me and asked, "Hey, is your name Ethan?" I said err yeah and then they replied "OH SO YOUR THE KID WHO'S F***** AMAZING AT THE RUBIES CUBE"

A lot of people come up to me and ask me if they can try and solve it. I say yeah sure, scramble it up for them and cringe as they try get a side for 5 minutes. Eventually, they give up and tell me to solve it. When I have, they snatch it back, do a move and say "hey, I bet I can solve this" then do the reverse.

When I'm spamming algs, people just watch me and when I stop they say WOW YOU SOLVE THAT IN LIKE ONE SECOND. Once someone said, naah their probably faking, their not Asian after all.


I can't really complain as they just don;t know but it all kinda gets on my nerves.

Comebacks:
I would be worried if you couldn’t.
If they say they did it faster, do the same thing as them but even faster.

‘Mum they’re being racist’

Before I learnt how to do 3BLD in 2014.
I used to trick people in solving cubes without looking by looking into a nearby glass and seeing the mirrored reflection of the cube image and doing a solve.

I have been able to fool a few non-cubers in this fashion, haha.

 

[PikachuPlayz_MC]

I once brought a 5x5 to a soda shop and was doing some solves, I am by no means a big cube solver, I just like to waste time, but a guy came up and said "OMG is that a 10x10!?!" and I just looked at him and ignored him because his buddy was like "no, it's a 6x6 dumb ass."

 

[DuckubingCuber347]

Somebody asked me if I had a "Four-cube" yesterday, I didn't think non-cubers actually said that I assumed even an incompetent mind of a mere mortal could see it's a 2x2. The child also asked if he could solve mine, he then said he couldn't figure it out because there was no black on it, A.K.A stickerless. While scrambling it he asked me how many steps(???) I was doing. He then told his brother, "You just need to do Left, Right, Up, Down. He also questioned what the Fluffy Alligator method was! He even offered to trade his Rubik's brand 3x3 (which was the worst Rubik's brand cube I've ever turned) for my Valk Elite M. This was by far my cringiest encounter with a mor- non-cuber.

I can't watch the video because of the stupid firewall on my laptop. : (

*Takes my skewb*
"Hey I think I can solve this."
*proceeds to scramble it*
"ahh this is so hard"

 

[abunickabhi]

"Hey, there is a trick to solve that right.

Once I know the formula, I will be much faster than you for sure."

 

[the dnf master]

"How fast can you solve that cube?"
"10 seconds"
"Show me"
*Solves cube in ten seconds*
"Ha, what a nerd"

Happened to me quite a few times before

that gets in my nerves.
but even worst is

- "how fast can you solve?"
- "16ish seconds"
- "wow! what's the world record?"
- "3seconds"
- "wow you're so slooow"

that's why I avoid solving the cube in front of people I don't know

 

[CubeRed]

I am the fastest cuber in class so people ask a bunch of questions to me now and then.
One time I was just casually solving my friends cube. A girl tells me she can do it in about 3 minutes. So I tell her my average and she is amazed (Common experience)
She wonders how hard it is (Combination-wise) and like any other cuber would do, I say 43 quintillion.
The next triggering thing she said was, "OH mY gOsh DO yOU meMorIzE eVerY sINglE cOmbiNations??" o.o
So I laugh at her face and explain the logics of us speedcubers.
