It's....so beautiful...

[–]exatorp[S] 7 points8 points ago

My mistake, it has been posted; to be fair it was eight months ago and only been posted once.

[–]inquisitorofdeleted 2 points3 points ago

May I ask what the statement was?

[–]exatorp[S] 3 points4 points ago

'It's....a repost...'

[–]aldousfuckme 0 points1 point ago

That is incorrect. I quickly found at least 13 reposts of this gif. It is my nemesis. http://karmadecay.com/r/pics/comments/jdkvl/popcorn/ http://karmadecay.com/r/gifs/comments/xk9d6/popping_a_kernel_of_corn/

[–]exatorp[S] 0 points1 point ago

Well then you have greater karma decay skills than me, all I got was the one hit

[–]Revoluzzer 12 points13 points ago

[–]fmyasitch 4 points5 points ago

And it's the source as well.

[–]IByrdl 0 points1 point ago

Not once can I find a slow mo guys gif and be the first one to post the source.

[–]unEvade 13 points14 points ago

I currently have a kernel stuck at the back of my tongue and I can't get at it.

Please send help.

[–]gigitrix 7 points8 points ago

KERNEL PANIC!

[–]lordridan 4 points5 points ago

Colonel Panic! salutes

[–]DecryptedGaming 3 points4 points ago

It's ok man, everything will be ok...

[–]unEvade 12 points13 points ago

Day 23: The kernel has slide to the left side again, still eluding my attempts to dislodge it's cancerous grasp from my tongue. I have already eaten all the muffins in an attempt to use their spongee texture to fight this creature of the abyss, but the battle rages on. I know not how much longer I can take this torturous pain and I fear I may soon have to attempt a digit spelunking into my maw to attack the kernel from below...

[–]aarghIforget 9 points10 points ago

What makes it jump before it really starts to inflate? Escaping steam?

[–]brningpyre 3 points4 points ago

It's expanding (popping). The expansion pushes it off the surface as it pops.

[–]aarghIforget 3 points4 points ago

That was my first thought, but it just doesn't look like it could have expanded far enough fast enough to get itself airborn, so I looked for an alternate explanation. It hardly seems to increase in size at all before it bursts open... though maybe the way it's rotating is hiding that. *shrug*

[–]Zippy5454 1 point2 points ago

Someone posted a video of it in the comments. It looks like it is escaping steam or some other gas

[–]whitespace 0 points1 point ago

I had the same question. I don't understand that part at all. It doesn't start expanding until it has moved a lot.

[–]MrGMinor 7 points8 points ago

I will tilt my head slightly, stare for a few moments, then betray the smallest of smirks.

[–]exatorp[S] 0 points1 point ago

And the knowing shall pass and utter "I saw that gif too bro, I saw that gif too..."

[–]Saac 7 points8 points ago

How else do you look at it?

[–]aarghIforget 4 points5 points ago

By the handful.

[–]Saac 1 point2 points ago

Most of the time I just scoop'n'shove.

[–]Freddie_AppsHero 6 points7 points ago

... It looks like it's flexing.

[–]exatorp[S] 5 points6 points ago

COMEATMEBRO! pop

[–]QWOPtain 2 points3 points ago

First glance: COMEATMEBRO

Second glance: COMEEATMEBRO

Third glance:.... nah brah.

[–]Angry_Grammarian 2 points3 points ago

When I was a kid a teacher told me that popcorn pops because the water inside boils, expands, and causes the kernel to pop. So, I thought that it was someone's job to inject water into the kernels. I thought there were factories where lots of people had syringes full of water and they spent all day injecting water into corn kernels.

[–]klucker 2 points3 points ago

It's morphin time!

This is cool, but I'll still look at popcorn the same way. Warm and delicious. Only now, topped with awesome.

[–]fernguts 0 points1 point ago

Sure you will! This same gif will make the front page (yet again) within a month.

[–]WombatWithBoobs 0 points1 point ago

Whenever I see popcorn popping these days, I just think "come at me bro"

[–]BAMspek 0 points1 point ago

As a kid I always wondered what popcorn looks like as it pops. So thanks you!

[–]PheonixCraft 0 points1 point ago

Now all it needs is the power rangers song in the back round!

[–]Pyrotechnic_Popcorn 0 points1 point ago

Pfft. Big deal it's not like he's on fire or anything. I just realized something... I don't even LIKE popcorn!

[–]WhoLovesLou -1 points0 points ago

You didn't know how popcorn popped before slowmotion?

[–]exatorp[S] 5 points6 points ago

I did, but lacking 250,000+ fps eyes, I'd never actually seen it.

[–]WhoLovesLou 0 points1 point ago

It does give it a certain grace that only eating it can take away again.

[–]exatorp[S] -3 points-2 points ago

I saw Ellen's face and off it went.

[–]xchrisxsays 1 point2 points ago

I must go... (kernel pops) my people need me...

For some reason, the first thing that popped into my head after seeing this (pun intended) was a Trident missile launch: http://youtu.be/1aPvGGvnAGQ
