I drew this diagram as an explanation.

Think of it as the world's first camera taking the world's first MySpace picture.

[–]jpwinkis 2 points3 points ago

Mind blown.

[–]FREEEZEturkeys 15 points16 points ago

And only when you make that 4am realization that "holy fuck maybe the picture was just wrong!" do you fall asleep

[–]masou2[S] 16 points17 points ago

then I usually masterbate and sleep like a baby

[–]kaiyotic 9 points10 points ago

ah yes masterbation as a sleeping pill, works every time.

[–]FREEEZEturkeys 4 points5 points ago

Likewise, good sir

[–]LosAnaheimHalos 2 points3 points ago

baby's are terrible sleepers

[–]Laurenanana 17 points18 points ago

I assume it was taken by one of the world's second, third, fourth, etc. cameras. They never said this picture was taken the second it was finished. Or, aliens.

[–]KizzyKid 4 points5 points ago

This is a repost from about a week back. I said the same thing, but it was pointed out to me after that it says "the making of"

[–]Cronon94 2 points3 points ago

It say "the making of"

[–]Naturalrice 2 points3 points ago

Could simply be the making of a certain type of camera

[–]Dzsekeb -1 points0 points ago

Mirrors.....

[–]HowObvious 2 points3 points ago

Get your 9gag of my reddit

[–]Just_Look_Around_You 2 points3 points ago

Worlds second camera or any other iOS after that

[–]GLaDOSexe 0 points1 point ago

It has bold text on the top of it so it must be true.

[–]Farsyte 1 point2 points ago

caption is a lie?

[–]joshguerette 0 points1 point ago

The first camera was created by Joseph Niépce, and here's the first photo after an exposure time of 8 hours (compared to fractions of seconds in modern cameras) called "View from the Window at Le Gras" - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:View_from_the_Window_at_Le_Gras,_Joseph_Nic%C3%A9phore_Ni%C3%A9pce.jpg

Not sure if World's first camera, or world's biggest..

[–]dlebeuf 0 points1 point ago

the world's second camera?

[–]Drakothin -1 points0 points ago

Obviously they aligned a series of mirrors to capture the image.

[–]kushiro07 0 points1 point ago

maybe it was the first camera, but after that they made a second camera to take a picture of the first camera, seems legit to me o.O

[–]Reddit_ruined_memes -3 points-2 points ago

HAHA A RAGE FACE, BAHAHAHAHAHA

[–]UndBeebs 1 point2 points ago

I imagined this being screamed into my ear by an immature twelve year-old.

[–]Reddit_ruined_memes -2 points-1 points ago

Good. Welcome to reddit.

[–]UndBeebs 1 point2 points ago

5 months vs. 2 years? I should be saying the same.

[–]Reddit_ruined_memes -2 points-1 points ago

And after two years you still think people have only 1 account?

That's SO like a 2 year old redditor...

Bitch get on my level.

[–]UndBeebs 1 point2 points ago

I don't do throw-aways. Bitch, I got free will.

[–]Reddit_ruined_memes 0 points1 point ago

Oh I get it, 2 years ago Digg collapsed. Welcome.

[–]UndBeebs 1 point2 points ago

That's a new one. I applaud you for that. I can't provide proof against your statement, so I'll leave the argument with my maturity. Thank you for the kind welcome, sir.

[–]thehonz -5 points-4 points ago

The worlds first camera was so powerful that it could see around the world, back to itself, and snap its own picture.

[–]zayndarwiche1995 -5 points-4 points ago

The second camera you fucking idiots... They made the first one and then they took a photo of it with the next one that they made. It is honestly not that difficult to understand.

[–]1d3333 0 points1 point ago

It took about 8 hours to produce on picture... Unless you want to stand there for eight hours for one picture. And it says "in the making of the first camera".
