[–]MillennialWriterBloc 252 points253 points ago

You watched a looped gif waiting for something different to happen?

[–]OmegaIris 81 points82 points ago

i too thought that was figuratively retarded.

[–]danrennt98 45 points46 points ago

I thought it was literally retarded.

[–]2shotsofwhatever 16 points17 points ago

I thought it was Art Garfunkel

[–]danrennt98 8 points9 points ago

Sorry, I stand corrected.

[–]metrognome64 9 points10 points ago

Wow! That picture conjured up the "Bananas in Pajamas" song that has laid dormant in my brain for no less than 20 years.

Thanks, Brain. Now not only do I have that stupid song stuck in my head, I am reminded that the reason I'll never be a rocket scientist is because you are full of THIS useless shit!

[–]CmndrSalamander 0 points1 point ago

That. Was. Amazing.

[–]astralvortex 0 points1 point ago

Hey, remember that hamster dance song?

[–]tbare 1 point2 points ago

No.... No. No no... that link will not be clicked!

[–]Bruce_Bruce 0 points1 point ago

I thought it was literally Hitler.

[–]jgz84 3 points4 points ago

pretty sure that's the definition of insanity.

[–]Nilliak 0 points1 point ago

buzz What is the definition of insanity?!

[–]drageuth2 1 point2 points ago

Especially one where you can so easily see the loop point.

[–]TheGingerTorch -2 points-1 points ago

Thank you for pointing that out... You need to lay off the bong for a bit Phaque

[–]haste75 128 points129 points ago

No you didnt.

Go away.

[–]CrimsonNova 28 points29 points ago

I wish there was like... a mega-downvote button that we could use once a day, just so we could rip these reposts a new asshole.

[–]EagleEyeInTheSky 46 points47 points ago

The downnuke.

  • Delivers -10 karma to any post.
  • Damage spreads across any other posts by the OP within the same time period(the closer in time posts are to each other, the more damage is spread).
  • If multiple downnukes are applied by separate people to the same post, the effect is multiplied.
  • When a post gets downnuked, the poster contracts "radiation poisoning", and must carry around a skull and crossbones flair for a day until they "heal".
  • Has a 1 week cooldown timer(one day cooldowns can be abused too easily by coordinated groups and easily offended people).

[–]BreadstickNinja 15 points16 points ago

Here it is, as envisioned by artist Jake Olimb.

[–]Nilliak 4 points5 points ago

Perhaps make it earned, say 1 nuke per 100 link karma, or 1 for every 300 comment karma. That way things could get the shit beat out of them without too much abuse or people who just make accounts to use their downnukes.

[–]EagleEyeInTheSky 1 point2 points ago

I like this plan!

[–]2-long-didnt-reddit 1 point2 points ago

But this would only encourage karma whoring.

[–]Nilliak 5 points6 points ago

Which would in turn be counter-balanced by the fact that others may downnuke karma whores, and the cycle continues.

[–]hoodie92 3 points4 points ago

Having a 1 week cooldown would mean that every Redditor would need to save or bookmark every shitty post just incase something even shittier comes with within the next 7 days... No one wants to save shit like this.

[–]EagleEyeInTheSky 0 points1 point ago

Exactly. The hassle of delivering a downnuke prevents people from overusing it. It also requires coordination with others using their downnukes to be effective, which keeps people from using their downnukes as a replacement for downvotes. It has to be a truly special and offensive post to warrant being downnuked.

[–]newtonp01 1 point2 points ago

That's like putting a real nuke in the hands of everyone in the world. Too many nukes would fall.

The real reform would be to, eventually somehow reform Reddit to make the people with downnukes have >1000 karma or some shit so that there aren't nukes dropping everywhere. The problem is that many times these people got their karma from reposting. Mods could do this, but /r/Funny mods don't seem to do much. Nevertheless, it's a sound idea.

[–]Ellimis 0 points1 point ago

That's not how cooldowns work. You would only be able to use it again 7 days after you use it... not like it resets every Sunday.

[–]hoodie92 0 points1 point ago

Yeah but you experience at least one ridiculous post per week. So you would have to make sure that the one you megadownvote is one worth megadownvoting.

[–]moo_and_improved 1 point2 points ago

Downnuked.

[–]Goddamlitre-o-cola 1 point2 points ago

Just one a day? Tough decisions to be made

[–]PumpValve 23 points24 points ago

seriously?

[–]xtfftc 7 points8 points ago

Are you implying Phaque1285 watched it for 10 hours?

[–]Lord_Bumberchute 39 points40 points ago

It's not even old enough to qualify as a repost.

It's more like it got regurgitated and re-swallowed.

[–]xtfftc -1 points0 points ago

Never been posted in this subreddit before...

[–]jpiglet 110 points111 points ago

Couldn't wait more than a couple hours to repost this?

[–]_Gingy 12 points13 points ago

The video was posted a few days ago. It's a new age of reposts. Take the video from the front page and make a gif of it.

[–]EmptyFriend 3 points4 points ago

This is not new. Happens quite regularly.

[–]giottomkd 1 point2 points ago

yeah but for some reason people don't like viewing the videos, but have no problem with the gifs, and i don't know why, the gifs take much more time to load...

[–]poopyfarts 6 points7 points ago

3rd time i seent it on the front page today

[–]Marcob10 3 points4 points ago

All these titles are terrible.

[–]Mr_Big_Stuff 1 point2 points ago

Props to the Sean Hannity title, really trying to appeal to Reddit's core users there.

[–]into_the_stream -3 points-2 points ago

None of those are in /r/funny, so it's more of a cross post then a repost.

Not that this gif is funny, mind you.

[–]wookiesandwich -3 points-2 points ago

you're doing great work here

[–]h8bit 4 points5 points ago

doesn't that make you a retard

[–]Big_Boyd 5 points6 points ago

But you didn't watch it for 5 minutes, did you?

[–]gregogree 15 points16 points ago

Holy fuck, at least wait a day. this is twice today I've seen someone repost something within an hour of it already being posted

[–]ezh1980 0 points1 point ago

Also, the turtle/penis post mentioned lolbrary. Which after googleing that site I found this as its' top post. Where I stared at it for a minute. Anyway.

[–]teusz16 17 points18 points ago

Fuck your 2 hour repost

[–]Ojahh 4 points5 points ago

Re re re re re repost

after only 20 hours no less, impressive. NOT!

[–]FenrirIII 7 points8 points ago

Was that before or after you reposted?

[–]lpisme 9 points10 points ago

Reddit is putting this post directly on top of the original from 11 hours ago.

With that being said, fuck you.

[–]CrimsonNova 10 points11 points ago

Um... How the fuck is this funny? This is not funny.

[–]toga-Blutarsky 0 points1 point ago

Nothing on r/funny is funny.

[–]CrimsonNova 0 points1 point ago

Well, I do have to say some of the comments do tickle my sides occasionally.

[–]CannedSewage 6 points7 points ago

I don't like seeing the same gif seven times in 12 hours.

[–]wookiesandwich 6 points7 points ago

its a fucking gif...you watched a gif for 'literally 5 minutes'?

you bring new meaning to terms 'easily amused' and 'fucking retarded'

[–]SlippySlappy420 3 points4 points ago

You watched a 5 second clip over and over again for literally 5 minutes expecting it to change.. Genius.

[–]The_Vizier 5 points6 points ago

It's not funny.

[–]Lots42 0 points1 point ago

I can always count on Reddit to point out where the fuck I -just- saw the imagery.

[–]thexfiles81 8 points9 points ago

Not even 10 hours since the last repost.

[–]itsmoist 10 points11 points ago

About 2 hours, actually

[–]NightOwl58 4 points5 points ago

I don't think you understand how long five minutes is.

[–]adlauren 6 points7 points ago

Reddit is obsessed with this video.

[–]thepage 3 points4 points ago

HAHAHAHAHA MY SIDES! THIS IS JUST TOO FUCKING FUNNY! OH YOU REALLY KNOW HOW TO MAKE ME LAUGH! HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

[–]Specf0ur 2 points3 points ago

This, and the original post are on the same damn page. You should be ashamed of yourself OP.

[–]spandario 0 points1 point ago

Hey assholes complaining about reposts, some people have shit to do in day. So chill the fuck out, complaining adds nothing and just makes you feel better than everyone. So please for the sake of everyone, shut the fuck up.

[–]youronlydinofriend 0 points1 point ago

I have to agree with others that reposts are kind of annoying, but I also have to agree that it's not that big of a deal. Maybe they hadn't seen it on here because they don't check reddit every three seconds and wanted to share. I've unknowingly reposted before, and I was put through the fucking ringer until i just deleted it. Mine was a repost of something that was posted months before I even joined. Give us a freaking break. Some of us just don't know. You could at least be a little nicer about informing people. Seriously, reddit. Be a little less narrow. If it's a repost, inform the user and move on. It's that simple. Believe it or not, you DON'T have to be a dick about it.

[–]spandario 1 point2 points ago

I went to the comments to see if someone knew what the deal was. Like where, how, etc. But I am greeted with 15 assholes saying repost.

[–]youronlydinofriend 1 point2 points ago

Happens a lot, and I think it's more annoying to find "OMG FUCKING REPOST" in the comments than it is to actually find a repost.

[–]saraaubery 2 points3 points ago

i hate when people misuse the word literally.

[–]cjhelms 3 points4 points ago

My head literally explodes with rage when that happens!

[–]thisguy9 1 point2 points ago

Literally?

[–]Lots42 0 points1 point ago

KABOOM!

[–]cjhelms 0 points1 point ago

Not literally... what's the matter with you?

[–]TheWhiteeKnight 0 points1 point ago

You literally sat there, staring at a gif that loops after 5 seconds, for 5 minutes? Either you're really fucking stupid, or don't understand the definition of the world literally.

[–]shphunk 1 point2 points ago

You just missed it, they don't hit the water until 5:01

[–]HighFivesforAll 1 point2 points ago

And then the kangaroo gets involved at 5:06. Impatient OP

[–]Seruz 0 points1 point ago

I think this swing is pretty bad. Surely we have the technology to make the water "doorways" much less crude than that. So they just fit in if they keep the position they hold as entering. I mean come on.

[–]whatumeanbyliterally 0 points1 point ago

Now, When you say literally what do you mean by it?

[–]jdpwnsyou 0 points1 point ago

Why?

[–]attomsk 0 points1 point ago

Oh good, I've seen this gif on every sub reddit now.

[–]Annalee26 0 points1 point ago

How do they get off without getting wet?

[–]schattenteufel 0 points1 point ago

innuendo intended?

[–]midbc 0 points1 point ago

fuck you OP i hope your computer blows up

[–]baker875 0 points1 point ago

Whats the point of it though???

[–]LewisKiniski 0 points1 point ago

Really, we've got to be closing in on double-digit re-posts of this in the last 24 hours...

[–]herrakonna 0 points1 point ago

The water should only sync to the person swinging the highest ;-)

[–]erikgil 0 points1 point ago

OK, so it's a repost. And I agree, stop with the reposting. But please, please tell me where to buy it, or where the parts shopping list is. I'd love to build it and have the perfect spot for it.

[–]deadly_designer 0 points1 point ago

you are the third person to repost this today...

[–]BlahzayBlah 0 points1 point ago

You are literally retarded

[–]Brettersson 0 points1 point ago

Didn't I see this with a different title like, last night?

[–]coachcoby23 0 points1 point ago

I'm only commenting so I can find it later because I can't save this with my phone and I want to show to my gf

[–]doovidooves 0 points1 point ago

I still have no idea why this swing exists. It's like a solution to a problem that shouldn't even be occurring!

[–]McMonocle 0 points1 point ago

There's me thinking of all the really clever timing algorithms the person who made that must have used, until I realised it was just a large piece of metal attached to the hooks stopping the water as the swinger got near.

[–]yeppers14 0 points1 point ago

That's so cool

[–]Mythlord -1 points0 points ago

I saw this post 4 times now in 2 days why doess it still get so many upvotes

We should send this to Africa, would solve alot of problems.

[–]Disco_Bloodbath 0 points1 point ago

WHAT THE FUCK IS THE POINT OF THIS?

[–]michaelsong55 0 points1 point ago

how do you stop without getting wet

[–]hoomaneater -1 points0 points ago

I apologize OP for the hatred of people saying "repost". I for one have not seen this yet. :)

[–]TheNerdBurger 0 points1 point ago

I mean...seriously.

You can even see the cut dude...

[–]raging_asshole 0 points1 point ago

What is the point of this thing?

Just, why?

[–]silverstruk 0 points1 point ago

Tom: I liked this girl.. man I loved her. What did she do? She took a giant shit on my face. Literally. Alison: Literally? Tom: ...not literally. That's disgusting. Jesus, what's the matter with you?

I hate this word... Literally...

[–]Ruthlawliet 0 points1 point ago

Replace the water with acid and you have yourself a new form of horror movie. "They have to time each swing perfectly..."

[–]dirtydiana 0 points1 point ago

[–]startupwizard 0 points1 point ago

First time I actually down voted something...

[–]Darth_Tier 1 point2 points ago

I literally saw this in a different post today. People don't even wait 24 hours to repost anymore? I know I have a short memory but damn!

[–]gnarrzapp -2 points-1 points ago

Lol I [LE]terally watched this upboats plz xD

[–]sigmuna -1 points0 points ago

'I watched this for literally 5 minutes'

::facepalm:: it's a .gif that loops...

op has got to be trolling.

[–]alavoisier 0 points1 point ago

help me understand, why would you watch a looping gif for "literally 5 minutes?"

[–]Krutonman 0 points1 point ago

[–]a-dark-passenger -2 points-1 points ago

This is the 4th time I've seen this near the top page. All in different subreddits. We really need to stop this shit.
