No man, the iPhone is slowed by 400x, the iPad by 20x, and the TV at normal speed. Duh.

[–]BuzzKillingtonThe4th 13 points14 points ago

It doesn't work that way. The deeper you go, the longer time stretches. Assuming the smaller ones = "going deeper", they would be faster than the others by 20x per layer.

[–]bubbachuck 5 points6 points ago

[–]pSyChO_aSyLuM 127 points128 points ago

I think this would make more sense if the monitor was showing a video of the iPad displaying a video of the iPhone playing Inception.

Pretty sure they are just using the word Inception as play on the movie title. Not a play on the definition of the word.

[–]Woolliam 3 points4 points ago

I KNOW, RIGHT?

I keep correcting people on this and get downvoted, the fuck?

What people think is inception is closer to a fractal.

[–]Squaseghost 6 points7 points ago

It drives me insane as well. There's a lot more to like in that movie than just the layering aspect.

[–]LiveLikeLuis 0 points1 point ago

I agree that there definitely is. Inception is an amazing movie. But, like it or not, layers are a pretty important aspect of the film. So I think associating layers directly with the movie Inception makes a lot of sense and shouldn't be corrected (as long as the person says Inception, not 'inception.')

[–]Kratos_Aurion 4 points5 points ago

Yeah I don't know why everyone confuses inception with xzibit

[–]LiveLikeLuis 0 points1 point ago

You're right. But OP said Inception, not inception. The movie, not the concept.

No, what I mean is here is three layers of the same movie in front of each other. Something else.

[–]TerryArchi 30 points31 points ago

Actually op did nothing wrong here.

Yes, the word "inception" means to install an idea (or something of the like). However, in the movie "inception" one of the main plot subjects is the "dream within a dream". So even though op's picture has nothing to do with the concept of inspection, it do has to do with the movie "inception".

[–]YourFaceIsTasty 9 points10 points ago

Please and thank you

[–]jwv23 4 points5 points ago

I would agree that in this case it's ok, because the post is actually about the movie "Inception". Whenever I see any other inception post though, it irritates the shit out of me, because I think people are learning the incorrect meaning of the word from such posts.

[–]Ausgeflippt 0 points1 point ago

Wrong.

The movie Inception did have dreams within dreams and the like, but the point of the title was that their ultimate goal in the movie was to successfully pull off an Inception- planting an idea in someone's early subconscious. Think of it like a conman's gambit or the like- it's a scenario that a team of crack conmen pull off and they give it a cool name.

[–]TerryArchi 1 point2 points ago

Whereas that was or wasn't the point of the title isn't relevant, because op was only using the title to refer to the movie. The object here is the movie, not the concept.

Op made a joke by referencing to a part of the movie. So he indeed didn't misused the word "inception", because he was talking about the movie.

Imagine I said: "I read Sherlock Holmes the other day". It's implied that I read the book "Sherlock Holmes", not the character "Sherlock Holmes".

[–]LiveLikeLuis 0 points1 point ago

Excellent point. Good job explaining this.

[–]Sgt_Sarcastic 0 points1 point ago

That was a good argument, but you don't need to try so hard to sound intelligent. Especially when you use words that seem representative of a large vocabulary in a manner that isn't proper. Your tense is all over the place, too.

tl;dr you don't need to try to sound smart to have a good argument

[–]BlazeOrangeDeer 0 points1 point ago

No shit, but OP didn't say that they did this because of the main point of the movie. There were nested dreams in the movie, it's funny to watch it on nested screens.

[–]Homletmoo 44 points45 points ago

in·cep·tion /inˈsepSHən/

n. The establishment or starting point of something; the beginning.

 

No one gets this any more.

[–]Batty-Koda 35 points36 points ago

Coming soon to a dictionary near you:

in·cep·tion /inˈsepSHən/

n. Recursion

Along with literally meaning figuratively, which pisses me off so fucking much. Not because of the overuse of literally, but because so many people didn't understand that using "literally" like "I'm literally dying of laughter" was a use of hyperbole, not a misuse of literally. The misunderstanding so common it became a fucking definition.

/endrant.

[–]Battletooth 12 points13 points ago

I literally read your comment with a straight face but kind of smirking inside but it not really showing as I emotionlessly clicked the upvote button while sitting in my chair. Literally.

[–]Homletmoo 10 points11 points ago

I figuratively smashed the upvote button for your comment so metaphorically hard it almost literally broke my screen, figuratively speaking.

[–]WeHaveMetBefore 3 points4 points ago

Has anyone really been far even as decided to use even go want to do look more like?

[–]Homletmoo 2 points3 points ago

You’ve got to be kidding me. I’ve been further even more decided to use even go need to do look more as anyone can. Can you really be far even as decided half as much to use go wish for that? My guess is that when one really been far even as decided once to use even go want, it is then that he has really been far even as decided to use even go want to do look more like. It’s just common sense.

[–]NoctGent 3 points4 points ago

I literally did the same thing, with a British accent.

[–]syth406 1 point2 points ago

No everyone gets this. It's still an internet joke. It still applies, because it can still be funny. Also this.


Actually op did nothing wrong here.

Yes, the word "inception" means to install an idea (or something of the like). However, in the movie "inception" one of the main plot subjects is the "dream within a dream". So even though op's picture has nothing to do with the concept of inspection, it do has to do with the movie "inception".

[–]VAGINA_BLADES 5 points6 points ago

It's not about what the title means, it's about the movie's plot, which is a dream within a dream within a dream within a dream. So he's actually missing a device if you count the layer with Leo's wife.

Oh and also, to perform the "inception" you need to go three layers deep (supposedly), so it's really not that much of a bastardization.

[–]Mr830BedTime 2 points3 points ago

So are you saying that it is a misconception?

[–]SirLaughter -5 points-4 points ago

It's not a movie about dreams within dreams, it's a movie about free will and ideas. Also it's a fucking repost, so shut the hell up.

[–]theoneyoutrulylove[S] 1 point2 points ago

Last time I watched Inception there was something about dreams... hmmm. Maybe I just dreamed that up...

[–]Gana0 2 points3 points ago

Dreamt*

[–]Ausgeflippt 0 points1 point ago

Dreams within dreams wasn't the act of inception. Inception was quite explicitly stated to be actually planting an idea in someone's subconscious, something that they said was impossible or whatever.

[–]theoneyoutrulylove[S] -2 points-1 points ago

I understand that the act of "inception" does not mean going through multiple dream layers. BUT, a major part of the movie Inception involves going through multiple levels of dreams.

[–]SirLaughter 0 points1 point ago

A major part of transformers 2 was a load of military guys shooting in a desert, but you don't hear people yelling at the army saying "DUDE! YOU ARE SO TRANSFORMING RIGHT NOW!"

[–]theoneyoutrulylove[S] 0 points1 point ago

I don't understand

[–]SirLaughter -1 points0 points ago

a major part of the movie Inception involves going through multiple levels of dreams.

Just because a movie has a title, it doesn't mean that that title should be absolutely associated with events within it.

[–]redbeardo 0 points1 point ago

I dare you to watch Primer and fully understand the movie after only three viewings. No excel charts though.

[–]dont_press_ctrl-W 0 points1 point ago

OP didn't even make a link with the title itself. There's no denying that the movie is about things in other things, so making a link between the two is perfectly appropriate.

[–]KolatSpy 1 point2 points ago

[–]Unnecessaryanecdote 1 point2 points ago

I think you and other may be drawing a direct correlation between the concept of inception as presented in the movie, and the style in which it is presented.

Those who use the inception meme as a descriptor for the "thing in its self", may be referring more to the stylistic way the protagonists achieve inception, i.e., traversing one level deeper after another, within a single self-contained dream.

People need to stop taking shit so damn literally. Read between the lines a bit.

[–]PushThatFatKid 1 point2 points ago

I guess I really need to get RES. Apparently you're seeing some inaccurate definition of the word Inception, whereas all I see is a photo playing off of one of the major plot points of the movie Inception. Thanks for pointing this out though. How else would I have known how much smarter than OP you are?

[–]Ostmeistro 0 points1 point ago

So you really can't see the difference between something being inside something else and something being in front of something else? What if they used the camera on the apples?

I have downvoted each comment that misuses or condones the misuse of the use of the word "inception". It means to plant an idea in someone's mind without them being aware. THAT is what the movie about. The movie is not about how difficult it is for dumb asses to understand it.

The best way would be to get enough video playing devices for every level of dream and real life. Then when ever they go down a level move down a screen and everytime they move up a level fast forward that screen to that point. And after all that, you'd have succesfully wasted a day watching a movie.
