This will always be my favourite.

[–]mighty_panders 47 points48 points ago

But who was ... camera?

Edit: venustas kindly posted a link to the explaining thread

[–]mynamejesse1334 11 points12 points ago

one-way mirror.

because it's impossible to take a photo of one's self without a mirror

[–]mighty_panders 1 point2 points ago

If you look not even all that closely theres is a smudge over his left arm, indicating a mirror. So only the one-way mirror would be plausible, but how are the chances of having a payphone and such a mirror in your house?

[–]KittyCanScratch 3 points4 points ago

If you look even harder, he is on an angle. just look 45 degrees at the mirror to the point where the camera man is out of view.

Also the wood gives it away.

[–]mynamejesse1334 0 points1 point ago

about the same as the chance you got my joke

[–]biggus_dickuss 0 points1 point ago

hehehehehe...you dick!

[–]mighty_panders 0 points1 point ago

If there's no joke then what's to get?

[–]HereToBeHappy 1 point2 points ago

He isn't facing the mirror directly, on the left you can see the sleeve of the person taking the photo.

[–]Kuxir -1 points0 points ago

OH, look, the angles tilted!

[–]Dave_Rules 10 points11 points ago

What's that thing he's holding?

[–]brain4breakfast 78 points79 points ago

Only 90s Kids will get this.

I'm partial to this one.

[–]purplepug22 0 points1 point ago

How in the actual hell did he take this picture?

[–]venustas 12 points13 points ago

Ask and you shall receive. Originally posted here.

He later posted how he did it here.

[–]purplepug22 3 points4 points ago

Thank you!

Fuck you other assholes who downvoted me for asking a question.

[–]Brewster-Rooster 1 point2 points ago

could he not have just gotten someone else to take a picture of him?

[–]pSyChO_aSyLuM 293 points294 points ago

I thought the point of it was to be holding the device that is taking the picture of you. This doesn't make any sense.

[–]Darth_Hobbes 38 points39 points ago

Yeah. What we need is a picture of someone holding up a car with a rear-view camera. Maybe Wonder Woman.

[–]gasms 66 points67 points ago

Equivalent of holding a printer and fucking a muffler.

[–]sir_grumph 22 points23 points ago

I understand.

[–]xandora 0 points1 point ago

Makes sense.

[–]trampus1 33 points34 points ago

All beans and no frank I see.

[–]bwhartmann 5 points6 points ago

The closest you could get to this would be a 27" iMac (or anything else with a front camera, i suppose). Now, someone go do this, I want to see how it turns out.

[–]bayyorker 5 points6 points ago

Nonsense can be funny as well.

[–]neat_love 2 points3 points ago

But reposts are never that funny. Sigh..

[–]widgetdude 0 points1 point ago

Nonsense

[–]moonluck 1 point2 points ago

Exactly. I want to see a pic with one of those big flatscreens that have a camera in it.

[–]bane_undone -4 points-3 points ago

You have no sense of humor

[–]PenisSizedNipples 51 points52 points ago

This is fucking stupid.

[–]trolltamer5 5 points6 points ago

They're some big nipples

[–]20127010603170562316 19 points20 points ago

Why do these people who take pictures of themselves in the bathroom mirror not just point the camera at themselves, and look at the screen in the mirror?

It just seems so logical to me. Perhaps too logical.

edit: alright, having never duckfaced before, I thought I'd give it a whirl. See my findings a few comments down.

http://www.reddit.com/r/funny/comments/10gcdw/i_see_your_ipad/c6dcn8c

[–]SymbolTable 12 points13 points ago

As someone who was once a teenager taking pictures of himself, I can tell you it's because unless you're taking pictures with a fish eye lens or have unhumanly long arms, you can't get much of yourself in the shot.

[–]20127010603170562316 11 points12 points ago

I just did some science, and concluded that you are correct.

I have never duckfaced or taken a picture of myself in a mirror before today. Here is my work. (NSFWish.)

So, things I learned:

  1. Photographing the mirror instead of my method does indeed give a wider field of view.
  2. I need to clean my mirror.
  3. Even my budgie thinks I am retarded.
  4. Don't post stupid duckface pictures of myself on the internet.

I do think that the photo without the phone in the shot gives me a better cleavage.

[–]pnjunkie 0 points1 point ago

excellent all out execution, you should join /r/teambearpack

[–]20127010603170562316 0 points1 point ago

I don't get it?

[–]psychotron888 0 points1 point ago

you cant set the camera down and set the timer feature that i'm sure you can get for it?

[–]Helpfulandattractive 9 points10 points ago

Shut up! Just shut up! How will people know what bangin' gear I have if I take the picture like that!?!?!

[–]wretcheddawn 2 points3 points ago

I told my sister that, and she's like "Woah!" and then went back to doing it the stupid way. Also, my Android has a camera on both sides.

[–]Dinersore 2 points3 points ago

Not to sound like a pretentious iPhone user but iPhones have those too. Girls on Facebook don't seem to realise this.

[–]dickcheney777 2 points3 points ago

Because timers are so complicated and, like, not cool at all.

[–]BenCelotil 2 points3 points ago

I wanted to frame everything (took a few tries).

[–]20127010603170562316 1 point2 points ago

You handsome bugger.

[–]BenCelotil 0 points1 point ago

I dislike my non-existent smile.

[–]20127010603170562316 0 points1 point ago

duckface next time.

[–]BenCelotil 0 points1 point ago

"Nooo, nooo..."

[–]TheTalkingCamelAnus 5 points6 points ago

How the fuck do you remember your username?

[–]20127010603170562316 25 points26 points ago

It is the number of grains of sand I have in a jar on my desk.

[–]John_Duh 3 points4 points ago

How long does it take to count them? What if a burglar comes in and steal a grain of sand?

[–]20127010603170562316 3 points4 points ago

I think next time I will employ an autistic savant, ala Rainman to count them. Once he's done, I guess I will just make a new account.

[–]John_Duh 3 points4 points ago

Even if someone could count 100 grains per second it would still take about half the lifetime of the universe so the sun going super nova would happen before you make a new account.

[–]20127010603170562316 0 points1 point ago

In that case I shall be forced to employ the golf club by my door, or get a burglar alarm.

[–]ratacat7 0 points1 point ago

if you want to be picky you'd need a very large jar to hold that many grains of sand

[–]corbygray528 0 points1 point ago

Autofill is a glorious thing.

[–]_Born_To_Be_Mild_ 1 point2 points ago

Ha ha, the second time I've seen that. I wonder how many times "has his/her username written in a txt file" has heard it.

[–]_Born_To_Be_Mild_ 0 points1 point ago

The picture isn't really of them.

[–]phidus 0 points1 point ago

A lot of lenses don't have a wide enough angle for that to work well. By taking a picture of their reflection they can more of themselves in the picture than they would otherwise.

[–]Burrito_Fiction -1 points0 points ago

Every time I see these photos I think "Don't you have a friend that could take your photo?" and "Do you ever go anywhere? Or do you live in your bathroom?"

[–]paganpan 8 points9 points ago

iMacs have webcams and Photo-Booth, why isn't the second guy using that?

[–]nope_nic_tesla 5 points6 points ago

Probably didn't want to go through the trouble of plugging in, booting up, and actually working with his iMac in the bathroom mirror.

[–]wretcheddawn 2 points3 points ago

Then he'd have to actually use the Mac.

[–]fluxcapacit0r 1 point2 points ago

Probably because he doesn't have an iMac. That's an Apple Cinema Display.

[–]vvhale 1 point2 points ago

Which have a webcam too

[–]fluxcapacit0r 1 point2 points ago

The newer ones do, but that particular model does not.

[–]ziplokk 7 points8 points ago

Props to the guy holding the CRT with only one arm. Those things are heavy.

A reposted comment for a reposted submission. What the hell do you expect? Want something original, post something original.

Edit: How in the hell did this crap even make it to the front page... Seriously.

[–]aussiejames101 2 points3 points ago

What is this, a picture for ants?

[–]riggsinator 0 points1 point ago

Now someone needs to do this with a 70 inch tube TV

[–]Darkfire346 -1 points0 points ago

woop-woop-weeeeooo

[–]DudeMan18 0 points1 point ago

That's the sound of the police?

[–]_Wolfos 3 points4 points ago

I don't see a CRT. Third one is just a flatscreen with something on the back.

[–]Darkfire346 2 points3 points ago

third one

[–]_Wolfos -1 points0 points ago

Yeah, I meant that one.

[–]Darkfire346 0 points1 point ago

zoom in on it and look at it sideways. its a crt.

[–]_Wolfos 0 points1 point ago

Yeah, it would be pretty huge for a flatscreen, so it might indeed be a CRT.

[–]Darkfire346 0 points1 point ago

We must go deeper...ENHANCE!!

Look at the depth of the television. It's a crt.

[–]lostmimic 1 point2 points ago

Last week some guy stuck his iPad out his sunroof to take a picture of my car. Took me a second to realize what the heck was going on.

[–]thebbman 0 points1 point ago

The TV one looks like Julian Smith.

[–]domsaywhat 0 points1 point ago

This could be done with the samsung 8000 series T.V.

[–]GrooGrux 0 points1 point ago

Ok, who has access to a megatron Tv thingy they use at baseball games?

[–]callsign_helo 3 points4 points ago

I think you mean jumbotron. Megatron is the Decepticon.

[–]GrooGrux 0 points1 point ago

Yep jumbotron is what I meant.

[–]sidious911 1 point2 points ago

Haha this makes me laugh just because when I was at the Slash concert the other night.. the chick in front of me pulls out her ipad, flips over the cover, so the thing is a huge visual disruption, and she takes videos and pictures with it.. wanted to punch her

[–]BenCelotil 0 points1 point ago

You gotta place some of the blame on bouncers who don't let people bring in decent cameras to take a few souvenir shots.

[–]CarlFromAccounting 0 points1 point ago

How? I can barely make out the iPad with all the pixelation.

If I had a dollar for every pixel in this image, I'd have about 20 dollars.

This was all on Reddit like a year ago but the pictures actually had more than 2 pixels.

I'm looking forward to the post where someone tops this.

[–]mitters -3 points-2 points ago

OK, so we have an iPad 2 3g, An Apple 24inch Cinema display (previous generation), I'm stuck on the tube tv, and a 37inch Samsung LED UN37?6000 is my guess (though it could be a 7000).
