I want a giant one of these things in the middle of my floor.

[–]Kazaril 66 points67 points ago

Better yet, at the bottom of a swimming pool.

[–]Ronnie_James_Diode 36 points37 points ago

I would not swim in it.

[–]imightbefickle 0 points1 point ago

If someone teaches me how to swim, I'll have the choice of not swimming in it.

[–]HVincentM 29 points30 points ago

Yes.

[–]court12b 4 points5 points ago

Would it work? I'm wondering how big you could get and still get the effect.

[–]CarlorLvl7Barbarian 9 points10 points ago

All you need is the right proportion and you could make one the size of Earth.

[–]huberthumphrey 9 points10 points ago

[–]ignoramus012 97 points98 points ago

So... it's bigger on the inside?

[–]27131006231262 61 points62 points ago

first step to making a TARDIS

[–]no1roots4goliath 26 points27 points ago

Next up? Gasping Noises.

[–]dosomethingtoday 0 points1 point ago

Next up is making it actually bigger on the inside as opposed to simply seeming that way.

Unless the secret is that in seeming to be infinite it becomes infinite given enough magnets.

I was referencing more her brothers book House of Leaves but ya that works too!

I read House of Leaves ten years ago and I'm still haunted by it. If reddit were a book it would be something similar to this masterpiece. It's just so meta.

Interestingly enough my family has a four foot version of this and never keep it turned on. :(

[–]Hughcumber 197 points198 points ago

I think Luke Skywalker's hand is in there somewhere.

[–]CaptainTaters 38 points39 points ago

That's not true...

[–]Badgermeister 77 points78 points ago

Search your feelings, you know it to be true.

[–]vertigo1083 19 points20 points ago

NERD ALERT!

Luke Skywalker's hand was found and retrieved by Vader's flunkies, and used to make an evil clone.

(Seriously!)

[–]ieatbees 14 points15 points ago

It would've been great if he was a bizarro-type clone and went around going "ME LUUKE SKYWALKER".

[–]Rad_Spencer 17 points18 points ago

Luke Groundsitter?

[–]cDgAnswer 4 points5 points ago

Luke want pants. A decent pair of pants!

[–]stilldash 2 points3 points ago

Solomon Grundy want pants, too!

[–]trampus1 0 points1 point ago

Seriously? Luuke? This is why I don't bother with anything but the movies.

[–]PovertyPoint 40 points41 points ago

Thats impossible!

[–]EliWhitney2010 339 points340 points ago

now make one w/ orange LEDs for the opposite side and place them everywhere

[–]minibeardeath 68 points69 points ago

Iam totally stealing this idea.

[–]waffels 139 points140 points ago

No you aren't.

[–]minibeardeath 3 points4 points ago

Actually I probably will. Once I find some spare time to collect the materials, I plan to make a set of these one blue, one orange. I'm still not sure where I will hang them though. Maybe one next to my bed and one next to the fridge. These don't seem to time consuming so I think I will probably make them around Thanksgiving, or Christmas when I get some time off work.

[–]chimpwithalimp 30 points31 points ago

No you won't.

[–]DrKnockers04 18 points19 points ago

No, no he won't... but you can imagine what it would be like if he did, eh... EH!?

[–]derekdanger 5 points6 points ago

NO YELLING ON THE BUS!

[–]I_FUCK_SHARKS_ 54 points55 points ago

Iams is what I feed my dog, boy.

Take a gander between your Alt keys.

edit: keep those downvotes coming. I love it.

[–]PabbleDabble 44 points45 points ago

I actually thought that was kind of clever, it's funny how different Grammar Nazi-isms are up/downvoted here. Oh well, to each their own.

[–]MrE134 21 points22 points ago

I laughed so I couldn't in good conscience downvote it. But generally speaking, people who call people boy are condescending ass holes.

[–]space_monster 9 points10 points ago

*assholes

[–]_shadrach_ 7 points8 points ago

I thought Boy was the name of his dog

[–]I_FUCK_SHARKS_ 3 points4 points ago

No, my dog's name is Molly.

[–]minibeardeath 3 points4 points ago

I didn't even notice the part where he called me boy. I just thought he was a standard asshole

[–]MrE134 3 points4 points ago

Ew!

[–]I_FUCK_SHARKS_ 0 points1 point ago

Delicious.

[–]HonestCorporation 2 points3 points ago

Well that's just like your opinion, man.

[–]I_FUCK_SHARKS_ 1 point2 points ago

I like to think of myself as a condescending asshole.

Nice to see some verification around these parts.

[–]Consequence6 0 points1 point ago

I call everyone "Kid" But I'm not trying to be offensive when I do.

    Plot twist: minibeardeath uses a Mac so his spacebar is between his command keys. Actually, this plot sucks

    [–]minibeardeath 0 points1 point ago

    Yeah... that's a pretty bad plot, plus I don't actually own any Apple products.

      [–]fnord-prefect 49 points50 points ago

      That is pretty neat. Is there a how-to, somewhere? I'd like to have a go at this.

      [–]Buckbeak69 26 points27 points ago

      So that's why Radioshack still exists

      [–]TheBullshitPatrol 4 points5 points ago

      Buying LEDs. These actually aren't loose LEDs, though. It's actually this, typically used in PC case lighting.

      Here. They are typically used in PC case lighting.

      [–]HVincentM 1 point2 points ago

      I guess that could work. Thanks

      [–]TheBullshitPatrol 3 points4 points ago

      Not just "could work". They said in their description that they used an LED light strip. That's probably exactly what they used.

        It's like a Stargate.

        [–]BattleDroids100 11 points12 points ago

        All it needs is the star constellations and chevrons as the finishing touch.

        [–]Heartwing 3 points4 points ago

        And Walter. You can't have a Stargate without Walter.

          like $12 at Spencer Gifts in the 70s

          [–]postmodgirl 0 points1 point ago

          Those mirrors defined my early childhood (late 70s). It was me looking into mirrors like that surrounded with a beige octagon frame on a beige ribbed fabric wallpaper. I would pretend I was on Battlestar Galactica with my own mechanical daggit, looking out into infinite space.

          [–]T0x1C_Y3ll0W 0 points1 point ago

          I would also like a how to! That was nifty!

          [–]ThatSawyer 2 points3 points ago

          A load of these would make for some amazing floor tiles...

          [–]relaxabit 2 points3 points ago

          And thus the creation of a TARDIS became one step closer.

          Good Lord, have you people never been in a Spencer Gifts?!

          [–]JJTropea 0 points1 point ago

          I get this effect in my washroom (we have mirrors on two opposite sides of the wall). Blew my mind as a child.

          Hell, it still blows my mind as an adult.

          [–]futuramadog 0 points1 point ago

          Sandwich a row of LEDs between two mirrors, one being a two-way mirror with the reflective side down towards to LEDs. That's my best guess of how to make this.

          There's a bar in NYC that has this on the walls. They're bigger mirrors, and you see your own reflection, but you also see the infinite array of red LEDs going off into the distance.

          I went to some kind of illusions place with my mum and her partner at the time; and they had one of these, but it was on the floor and the size of a well, and looked like it went down forever.

          Anyway, the guy picked me up and jokingly held me over the top of it. I then proceeded to FREAK THE FUCK OUT!

          I cried my tiny little eyes out for quite a while and probably ruined the whole day. Maybe this is why I'm afraid of heights now?

          WAIT WHAT THE FUCK. Couldn't they have done this in Star Wars 1 just in a large scale mirror?

          I had one of these as a toy in the early 90's. I hope this isn't supposed to be looked at as something new...

          What if we had two mirrors and we put them next to each other?

          I always fantasized about these being walkways inside a spaceship when I was younger. I still do. They just look so cool! I should make a hallway in my future house that is a sort of gigantic infinite mirror! I would feel like I was on a spaceship! OR! I could just make a spaceship!

          My billiards table had this in the middle. It was AWESOME.

          This reminds me of Event Horizon for some reason.

          I used to have a cheap necklace like this (only smaller) that had colored LEDs in it. It was amazing.

          Just realized I was tilting my head to see "further" down the illusion.

          it's a portal! Make an orange one and stick them either side of a room with something sticking out the end of both :')

          [–]cff0055 0 points1 point ago

          Now you are thinking with portals.
