its reflexes are so fast its totally clear of the balloon way before the water hits the floor

[–]hilarioussagittarius 25 points26 points ago

No doubt. I want a video to watch each frame.

But I suspect even that will be missing something.

[–]Cpt3020 89 points90 points ago

Ha! My Canadian internet let me watch it frame by frame!

[–]diggpthoo 44 points45 points ago

[–]Journalisto[!] 18 points19 points ago

Holy shit! He is actually jumping while the water is still suspended in the shape of the balloon!

Thanks for the link. That's a cool site.

[–]fishyguy13 8 points9 points ago

Why are the images so grainy? Could be my iPod though.

[–]diggpthoo 4 points5 points ago

Yeah I don't know either. I thought GIFs had full frames... those just look like video-frames' artifacts.

edit: I just received sort of a ninja message (it has now disappeared) but the commenter basically said that the GIF is made from video and so it still has those video-ey artifacts preserved into it.

I'm still bothered by the ninja-ness of the message though. I swear I saw my email icon turn orange, I clicked on it and someone had replied with that message. I assumed it was here. But when I clicked and came here I got the "You broke reddit" page and now I can't find the message anywhere. Not even in my inbox. Weird. /#/glitchinthematrix

[–]asdfsauce 4 points5 points ago

Gifs can have partial frames, and can draw frames on top of previous frames. For example, in this gif, what's inside the red rectangle is what's being redrawn in each frame.

You can also have transparency, which is what I think the artifacts are in the gif explosion. It's trying to let you see the previous frame, but it's not being drawn underneath.

[–]woe2thepubliceye 0 points1 point ago

I get that occasionally too. I like to view it as a my guardian watching over me. Knocking some intellect into my head.

[–]valefor91 3 points4 points ago

they look more acorny to me

[–]cteno4 1 point2 points ago

Compression. And and a lot of it.

[–]cuddlyogre 0 points1 point ago

Slenderman in just slightly out of frame.

[–]hilarioussagittarius 1 point2 points ago

See, all the action is at the end and the frames are all bitmappy. :P

[–]TheOven 0 points1 point ago

I am on my phone

It takes so long to load, the first viewing is in slomo

I highly recommend checking it out in slow motion

Maybe someone more talented can take care of that for us

That squirrel has some serious moves

[–]0xC0FFEECAFE 3 points4 points ago

Clearly the result of a good french press

[–]varemia 1 point2 points ago

It loaded really slow on mine, so I could see it practically levitate away on an invisible scooter.

[–]tagbadger 0 points1 point ago

I was thinking that, but its probably an instinctual reaction as well. Its body just did but its mind had no idea what was going on.

[–]BigCliff 38 points39 points ago

Its like it flies away by flapping its tail or something!

[–]Tresnut 23 points24 points ago

[–]VoRicebowl 15 points16 points ago

[–]tylermcbride 36 points37 points ago

Gifs of animals reacting to water balloons popping will never get old.

[–]HungryMoblin 22 points23 points ago

There's more?!

[–]The_Painted_Man 38 points39 points ago

I love how at the end, the snake is like "GODDAMIT, AAAAAAAAAAAH!!!"

[–]UndeadMessenger 13 points14 points ago

MUHAHAHAHAHAHAH!!!

[–]IamTypingWithOneHand 12 points13 points ago

You should start r/gifsofanimalsreactingtowaterballoonspopping

[–]notwithstupid 4 points5 points ago

Nope, too simple

[–]mockingdog 45 points46 points ago

Invisible getaway motorcycle.

[–]Liberaloccident 3 points4 points ago

Someone make this oh pls lawd

[–]HiImDan 20 points21 points ago

Well, this just became something I'm going to try before I die.

[–]thecacti 18 points19 points ago

at least through a few good nuts in there, you know, to reward the Squirrel for its troubles.

[–]paczki_kid 13 points14 points ago

If I had a dollar for every time I put my nuts inside a balloon...

[–]SeveredBanana 7 points8 points ago

You would be making money in a very strange way

[–]OMGwronghole 0 points1 point ago

We know, you would be broke.

[–]brainswho 1 point2 points ago

Stop buying Magnums, dude, your balls aren't supposed to fit in there.

[–]Snarfthedstroyer 0 points1 point ago

What? NO! All squirrels everywhere can go fuck themselves. Little bastards

[–]pilvy 5 points6 points ago

Biting a water balloon?

[–]-CraZy- 11 points12 points ago

No, he obviously means filling himself with water and exploding onto a squirrel.

[–]ashleymorris 20 points21 points ago

I thought it was going to be filled with birdseed, like a squirrel pinata.

That would have been a happy ending for everyone.

[–]opalorchid -2 points-1 points ago

That's actually what I thought was going on at first too. That would have been cute ^ _ ^

[–]BlueNoyb -3 points-2 points ago

Me too. This is just mean.

[–]SeaCandiesTroy 12 points13 points ago

I admit I did laugh but I still feel really bad for that squirrel. If anything caused me to have a reaction equivalent to that, I'm pretty sure I would have a heart attack.

[–]21007 6 points7 points ago

Semi-related, My squirrel-based 2D platformer game:

Fun looking game!

[–]21007 0 points1 point ago

thanks. the demo is linked on there if you wish to try it

[–]HoneyBadgerPainSauce 1 point2 points ago

Ignore this, just commenting so I can find this when I'm at my computer.

Edit: I accidentally a letter.

[–]FuglyShmugly 0 points1 point ago

Fuck you I already feel my fingers falling off.

[–]21007 0 points1 point ago

mission accomplished

[–]FuglyShmugly 0 points1 point ago

Mine too, it was a compliment :P

[–]21007 0 points1 point ago

thanks

[–]FuglyShmugly 0 points1 point ago

You are welcome. You will pay for my new fingers though.

[–]21007 0 points1 point ago

if I make over $1,000,000 in sales, i will

[–]lastfigure 2 points3 points ago

Better first time in slow motion.

[–]Random_Fandom 7 points8 points ago

Here's a slowed-down version. Just the biting and reacting part. http://i.imgur.com/Moiep.gif

[–]tallestred 2 points3 points ago

Whoa, nice. I thought he was tumbling in the air but its actually just his tail spinning as he jumps.

[–]Random_Fandom 0 points1 point ago

Haha, it did look like he was tumbling or flying. He got a lot of air in so little time.

[–]hullabazhu 2 points3 points ago

/r/squirrels for all your squirrely needs to adore these fanciful creatures.

[–]Doofie27 0 points1 point ago

christ, i've found my own personal /aww

[–]undrgrnd7 2 points3 points ago

I can't stop laughing at this. Fantastic!

[–]Guboj 1 point2 points ago

I had never seen a squirrel do a double somersault before!

[–]goremuut 1 point2 points ago

Well then, whatever you do, don't google "Squirrel Launcher".

[–]Jesse36m3 0 points1 point ago

Aaaaajajajaja

[–]hilarioussagittarius 1 point2 points ago

That video is so not cool.

[–]tallestred -1 points0 points ago

That video is the coolest thing ever.

Your house ran over a squirrel?

barrel roll for the win

[–]STJRedstorm 0 points1 point ago

I want to see a freeze frame where the little guy loses his shits

[–]damndaewoo 0 points1 point ago

There we have it. Proof that squirrels can fly relatively well with one tail, therefore Tails from Sonic the hedgehog is real!

[–]MeatwadSaint 1 point2 points ago

That always happens when the girl starts licking my sack

[–]Carl25 0 points1 point ago

I think this would be pretty good in reverse

[–]splinterprospekt 0 points1 point ago

He looks like sonic spinning at the end there.

[–]Recneps666 -1 points0 points ago

That was the best thing I have ever seen on Reddit. Thank you sir/madam, I just laughed for 10 minutes straight.

[–]Zerothe0 0 points1 point ago

It practically flies out

[–]brainswho 1 point2 points ago

That's what she said.

[–]propjoe 1 point2 points ago

TIL that Sonic is a squirrel.

[–]kimilicious 0 points1 point ago

"Sonic the Hedgehog"

[–]mediumpaquito 1 point2 points ago

Sonic?

[–]NothingWasAvailable 1 point2 points ago

I've never wanted to watch a video in slow-mo more in my life.

[–]HappyTissue 0 points1 point ago

All I could think of was "fuck this" jumps on motorcycle

[–]Compumerk 0 points1 point ago

That is the exact reason and purpose of the existence in water balloons

[–]count_crotchula 1 point2 points ago

my girlfriend has the same reaction

[–]5mac5 0 points1 point ago

Pop goes the weasel.

[–]mentaculus 0 points1 point ago

Can't...stop...watching

[–]throw6539 0 points1 point ago

Hey, I just licked you,

And this is crazy,

But you exploded,

I freaked out maybe.

[–]justin251 0 points1 point ago

It's like his tail was paddling him out of the way.

[–]cheemo 0 points1 point ago

Looks like there was some peanut butter on the balloon

[–]pillow123 0 points1 point ago

Can someone please post a "slower motion" of this??

[–]limeymarie 0 points1 point ago

I want to see this on a high speed camera..

[–]antivist 0 points1 point ago

'Tis laughable & front page worthy! ;)

[–]puzzledplatypus 0 points1 point ago

Haha! I just saw something just like this today. As I was walking around the corner of my garage, a chipmunk was eating out of the bird feeder and freaked the fuck out as a I walked by. Little guy jumped four feet straight down on the concrete and scampered off. Was a pretty hilarious sight for all but one second.

[–]NewSwiss 0 points1 point ago

Imma be honest, im so doing this

[–]komma_klar 0 points1 point ago

I would love to see a slow motion
