As much as we roll our eyes at them whenever they appear on our timelines, we have to admit it: we love a good thirst trap. (What's not to love, amiright??) But while we appreciate a good, gratuitous shirtless selfie here and there, some thirst traps just defy explanation.

In his video (captioned simply "Is water wet?"), Busally appears to be filming himself in the mirror with his shirt off. Standard procedure for a post-gym thirst trap, right? Well, Busally (who is holding onto and drinking from a cup) then proceeds to pour water on himself, making a coughing sound as the water runs down his head...

After we watched Busally's video (which, at the time of reporting, has over 10,000+ likes and 1,000+ retweets), we couldn't help but wonder what the heck was going on. And a bunch of other Twitter users did too...
