That's a cool fucking gif right there.

[–]Kucifus 233 points234 points ago

It's also a repost from yesterday.

[–]Farisr9k 70 points71 points ago

Hm. Must've missed it.

[–]Theemuts 40 points41 points ago

[–]Farisr9k 68 points69 points ago

Ah, I'm not subscribed to /r/gifs, that's why I missed it.

[–]DownvoteALot 33 points34 points ago

Unforgivable.

[–]benstillerfagget69 116 points117 points ago

[–]lol__internet 44 points45 points ago

[–]Lizardizzle -2 points-1 points ago

What gif I don't want to?

[–]jbag8888 -1 points0 points ago

Unforgettable.

[–]discipula_vitae 21 points22 points ago

Different sub. It was on r/gifs.

[–]Kucifus 14 points15 points ago

It's okay to do that, reddiquette wise? Not being sarcastic, I actually don't know.

[–]discipula_vitae 30 points31 points ago

Actually reposts aren't even against the redditquette. The idea is that we (redditors) decide if information is valuable by the voting system.

So yes, especially since the consensus last time was that the OP ruined the title, and the OP improved the title.

Edit: my phone doesn't know the word repost.

[–]qjg 28 points29 points ago

Also, complaining about reposts is the very first guideline of reddiquette don'ts.

[–]samuraimonster 4 points5 points ago

That is certainly true but at some point there has to be a discussion about it. Reddit cannot become a place where we just try to think of new titles for the same posts as yesterday. I understand reposts are inevitable and they don't want Reddit to become only complaining about reposts but at some point that rule no longer makes sense. If you have been Redditing for more than a few months then you really start to feel the encroaching reposts pretty hard. The more you see the more you recognize. Even after a year I sometimes look at the accounts of reposters and I have upvoted some of their other reposts. I am just not interested in seeing nyah cat again with the title "look what I just made". There needs to be a way of dealing.

[–]xtfftc 3 points4 points ago

All that has to be done is to have a higher percentage of redditors spend at least some time in /new. This way reposts won't appear as often as they do.

Looks like people would rather whine about reposts than be more active at voting though... Go figure.

[–]samuraimonster 0 points1 point ago

Totally. I try to do this every once in a while which is probably less than my responsibility might dictate. It is so much easier to complain in the comments because it does not seem to matter. It's like voting third party in US elections.

[–]Kumquating 5 points6 points ago

reports are not against reddiquette, typos are though.

[–]boagz 1 point2 points ago

Hmmm, don't know if intentional or not.

[–]Not_My_Idea 0 points1 point ago

Of course it is, look two post before his.

[–]YawnSpawner 0 points1 point ago

Crossposts are totally fine. Reposts are looked down upon by Redditors, but there's nothing in the Reddiquette that prevents them.

[–]Slozim 1 point2 points ago

I saw it in r/woahdude, but I'm not subscribed to r/gifs.

[–]Oni_Kami 2 points3 points ago

A repost? What's that? Being a redditor for so long, I've never heard this term in my life!

[–]Kucifus 2 points3 points ago

Wait, what's a redditor?

[–]The_drowning_poop 0 points1 point ago

You mean the video?

[–]CommentsAndShit 1 point2 points ago

No it was as a gif.

[–]ryanbillya 1 point2 points ago

Way better title too. Wish i had seen this one first.

[–]Kucifus 2 points3 points ago

I can't agree more, I'd much rather have seen it not knowing what to expect.

[–]GammaGames 0 points1 point ago

it never loaded for me yesterday, it took forever to load so I gave up. I saw it today though!

[–]HappyNihilist 1 point2 points ago

It may be the same gif, but the post is different. OP adds the statement about down voting something on the front page.

[–]fackinzebu 1 point2 points ago

He did put a new perspective on it though, i don't see it as a real repost.

[–]shadmere 1 point2 points ago

Who subs to r/gifs?

[–]PuroMichoacan 3 points4 points ago

Me three.

[–]OhRedditPoster 2 points3 points ago

Me.

[–]Kucifus 2 points3 points ago

Me, apparently.

[–]ricklegend 0 points1 point ago

Fucking shit> I thought this gif was a great metaphor for dealing with reposts on reddit. Then it happens to be a repost. Inception level 2.

[–]Distressed_Poet 31 points32 points ago

A gif can be cool.

A swell gif indeed.

Things crashing into things

with supersonic speeds.

Your mind by this point

knows which thing will destruct

but in the end, it's your mind.

and it's been utterly fucked.

[–]Empty_Jester 6 points7 points ago

I wouldn't have seen this amazing .gif if it weren't for reposting!

[–]RCJ_Machado 1 point2 points ago

Yep probably one of the best I've seen! Thanks for sharing!

[–]hmbloz 2 points3 points ago

I dunno, it's just so de-satisfying seeing them almost explode and skip to the next one.

[–]50_mike_mike 7 points8 points ago

You know dissatisfying is a word right?

[–]hmbloz -1 points0 points ago

Unsatisfying is a word. edit: removed cockiness

[–]cz03se 3 points4 points ago

Grape is also a word.

[–]mathangis 4 points5 points ago

Bird is also a word.

[–]slightly_bald 9 points10 points ago

Bird is THE word.

[–]LPsupercell 0 points1 point ago

I just happened to be listening to Archangel by Two Steps from Hell when I saw it. A-fucking-mazing.

[–]MR_WITTY_RESPONSE -3 points-2 points ago

I'm sorry I think I missed the part with the fucking in it

[–]OhRedditPoster 0 points1 point ago

Oh, Reddit.

[–]matt01ss -2 points-1 points ago

And that's the problem with reddit now. All this great new content being downvoted in /new, yet people repost the same thing from the front page with a different title, not changing a single thing, and it makes the front page. This is not funny, but since this sub is so easy to please, a nice looking gif will easily make the front page again.

It isn't the joke that makes this post, it's the gif itself, which has already been on the front page.

[–]zpichu 75 points76 points ago

[–]QWOPtain 50 points51 points ago

The anticipation... IT'S LIKE THE ANTICIPATION IS ON AN UNFULFILLING NEVER ENDING LOOP

[–]MOFUNKY 20 points21 points ago

I hate it.... I hate it so bad....

[–]Abe_Odd 12 points13 points ago

This is what I thought the gif was going to be in the first place. I was pleasantly surprised at the results though.

[–]vteckickedin 41 points42 points ago

Source video?

[–]zaphod_85 4 points5 points ago

I'm really curious as to how exactly this effect was pulled off. What materials did they use to construct the various items? I'm wondering how you make something look like a lightbulb, yet be strong enough to break even an easily frangible object.

[–]FOR_SClENCE 3 points4 points ago

It depends. It's definitely a combination of the materials being hit and the material of the things being thrown.

For the lightbulb, it's been shaped in such a way that it's much less likely to break than normal bulbs. On top of that, a sphere tends to hide optical cues hinting toward its thickness, which leads me to conclude that it's a very thick, dense, spherical bulb in there.

The brick that's being thrown at it is pretty clearly some form of loose aggregate of relatively uniform size, which is composed of powder. It looks a lot like the same sort of dust you'd see at a baseball diamond if you took some adhesive and pressed it into a brick. You can tell it's dust because of the way it aerosolizes after impact.

The vase could easily be painted steel, and it's been secured to the post itself, probably by a large metal beam. The baseball bat is a bit trickier; I'm thinking a combination of pre-assembled balsa wood and powdered cork/sawdust.

The eggstand is metal, and has been secured like the base. The egg is just some more painted metal. The hammer is similar to the brick; it's compressed powder which has been painted.

I have no clue about the glass, but the bowling ball is a half-shell of that powder again, whose center isn't cured. It looks to be quite fragile, more so than any of the other objects.

[–]samageddon 21 points22 points ago

There is something about this gif that leaves me remarkably unsatisfied.

[–]turkletom 10 points11 points ago

It's the disturbing lack of senseless destruction.

But fear not! Watch this Mythbusters promo and it shall soothe your soul.

[–]Lurking_And_Stalking 6 points7 points ago

Well, I guess most of those myths are

[–]sellyberry 2 points3 points ago

Thank you, I managed to forget whatever it was that was upsetting me because I was lost in a sea of explodie. You're a saint.

[–]mirabellamoose -2 points-1 points ago

Me too.

[–]talljewishkid -1 points0 points ago

Maybe it's because this was on the front page less than 24 hours ago.

[–]Lettuce_Get_Weird 140 points141 points ago

You couldn't even wait 24 hours?

[–]Goobady 66 points67 points ago

It is ok, because the last submission's title ruined the gif.

[–]Basilisc 1 point2 points ago

This is one time I'll gladly approve and upvote a repost. The title makes all the difference!

[–]sjjkjlkkjkljljll 31 points32 points ago

/r/gifs isn't a default sub. It isn't really a repost if it's a cross post like this one.

[–]-Noesis 39 points40 points ago

Upvoted because of better title.

[–]zaphod_85 7 points8 points ago

Cross-post =/= repost.

[–]preske 9 points10 points ago

Not everybody lives in the same time zone...

[–]WaterChestnut3 4 points5 points ago

Wouldn't it still be 24 hours? I wasnt aware that in different time zones, time moved at different speeds

[–]preske 0 points1 point ago

That is not even relevant to the problem at hand.

He said "not even 24 hours". It it was posted, lets say, 12 hours ago lots of people didn't see it, because they were either at work (yeh right) or asleep.

This has nothing to do with "time moving faster", but everything with people not being awake at the same time to see what is posted at the frontpage.

[–]5870guy111 0 points1 point ago

why do i have you tagged as Uncle Lettuce?

[–]skrumpets 5 points6 points ago

On his first day on Reddit he told a story about why you shouldn't go through other peoples' browser histories. In the first paragraph he called himself Uncle Lettuce.

i think it's from a month ago or so, i don't have the patience to look through his comment history that far back though.

[–]Kucifus -1 points0 points ago

Couldn't say, but you're now "Nephew Lettuce"

[–]N0V0w3ls 2 points3 points ago

Holy shit, shut up, it was posted to /r/gifs before.

[–]Tirawi 7 points8 points ago

Repost? Cry me a river. Not everyone is subscribed to r/gifs. It was my first time seeing it. Sorry you wasted 10 seconds of your time. Jesus Christ.

[–]FinBanana 10 points11 points ago

I, too, like to compare it to hitting an egg with a hammer.

[–]Funkysnow 3 points4 points ago

That's the last time I buy a brick made out of graham crackers.

Wait, nvm. you're only posting to karma whore low hanging fruit.

[–]slightly_bald 10 points11 points ago

Don't know who downvoted you, but you're right. Most of the time, complaints about reposts dominate the comment section of any repost. It's one of the easiest ways to whore for karma on reddit. I've been saying this for awhile, but apparently, despite being against the reddiquette, bitching about reposts is the only universally acceptable form of karma whoring. I stopped pointing it out because no one seems to care.

[–]YawnSpawner 1 point2 points ago

He can whore negative karma now!

[–]PuroMichoacan 31 points32 points ago

Nobody cares.

[–]Downvote_Frontpage 1 point2 points ago

[–]stupidbookah 1 point2 points ago

I think the gif of the guy throwing something in the ocean would be better. Except the item should be a downvote and the sea should be filled with nothing but upvotes.

Yea, I get it. You don't think downvoting something on the front page matters because everyone else upvotes it anyways.
