And there you have it... you just got me to sit and do nothing else but slowly count to 80 in my head

[–]qda 162 points163 points ago

Lies. You would be dead.

[–]senexii 51 points52 points ago

Key word: about

[–]KazMux 21 points22 points ago

I stopped watching after only three loops. I'll live forever now...right?

[–]Divine_Username 12 points13 points ago

Considering that gif's never end, 80 of those is a long time.

[–]JimCasy 39 points40 points ago

I got to 45 and gave up. Hopefully that isn't indicative of anything.

[–]Democrab 21 points22 points ago

Shit, I only got to 19.

DOUBLE SHIT! I AM 19!

[–]PotatoBeans 7 points8 points ago

AND you have 19 upvotes!

[–]MrVonBuren 2 points3 points ago

AND NOW!!!!

(it was like that when I got here, I swear)

[–]PotatoBeans 1 point2 points ago

Who did this?! I will eat a baby!

[–]Democrab 1 point2 points ago

OH SHI-

[–]gks13Nyanyanyana 46 points47 points ago

Did you die?

[–]chotheamazing 38 points39 points ago

I'll take the non-response as a yes. Ladies and Gentlemen, I present you the new 'Ring' video.. in .gif form!

[–]codythomashunsberger 14 points15 points ago

Update: Mozpong was discovered in the closet today. Pics included.

[–]mobfather 19 points20 points ago

I died, but I got better.

[–]gks13Nyanyanyana 10 points11 points ago

Oh, that's goo-- Wait... you're not Mozpong!

[–]InTheHamIAm 3 points4 points ago

I seriously just did that and though about how much the world was changing elsewhere while the leaves were just falling off and growing back...

[–]yourpenisinmyhand 1 point2 points ago

Not me, mother fucker! I started counting then shut that bitch down when I remembered what happens at 80.

[–]TheAngrySpanker 230 points231 points ago

When put like that, life seems awful short.

[–]SkyWulfNeat! 287 points288 points ago

Longest fucking thing you'll ever do.

[–]Chispy 174 points175 points ago

Actually the longest thing I'll ever do is not exist.

[–]postoasties 108 points109 points ago

Can the act of non-existence have length?

[–]AHipsterFetus 162 points163 points ago

Is non-existence an act?

[–]MrEctomy 108 points109 points ago

Whoa dude.

[–]runnershighxc 36 points37 points ago

[–]BlueKiwi 53 points54 points ago

thanks for showing me that, what a great subreddit

[–]skulledredditor 12 points13 points ago

The whole discussion in this thread has convinced me to subscribe. It's not the same comments in every thread like most subreddits. Here there's a discussion about whether or not non-existence is an act or not, and a seemingly intellectual discussion of it at that.

[–]Rohan11 5 points6 points ago

Very true. And regarding the nothingness : check out Alan Watts on nothingness

[–]free_dead_puppy 0 points1 point ago

I love that someone doesn't immediately hate and shut down threads such as this. Good flow man.

[–]Chispy 26 points27 points ago

I'd say it is an act. If civilizations last for millions of years, they'll develop powerful enough telescopes to see you from hundreds of thousands of light years away. That means in 100,000 years, these aliens will see your life. You're timeless. You existed, and you will stop existing, but you affected the course of the universe, with your actions and choices, and they live on forever.

[–]Asuperniceguy 1 point2 points ago

The light bouncing off of you will always exist but your actions will have no real implications as nothing you act upon exists anymore.

And anyway, DNA has a half-life of about 521 years (as the front page said the other day) so in ~1000 years, every single part of you is super dead.

[–]iFlameLifeShroom initiate 1 point2 points ago

What if my actions where to alter the universe forever, would I, un your view, live on eternally through my actions? What of my name and what I was where to be remembered by all future generations, would I exist until the last human is dead?

[–]Asuperniceguy 2 points3 points ago

I suppose that your legend could live on through your actions... but not you. Not what it is to be you. That only exists in the present. And there is only one present, I'm afraid.

[–]SG804 1 point2 points ago

[–]Cynikal818 3 points4 points ago

i don't get it...why did you just post a link to FunnyJunk?

[–]SG804 0 points1 point ago

It was a link to a gif they hosted. I guess they redirect or something. Changed it to something more appropriate anyway.

[–]entropikone 24 points25 points ago

Being chemicals from stars, have we ever really not existed?

[–]Ketchupinator 7 points8 points ago

You win.

[–]kribby53 2 points3 points ago

Not in this current configuration.

[–]Anoos92Shroom initiate 0 points1 point ago

That depends on how you define 'we.'

[–]piltdownmen 1 point2 points ago

And "exist".

[–]Kensin 2 points3 points ago

non-existence: An act in two parts.

[–]ExhibitQ 0 points1 point ago

I'd say it's a state of "high entropy"

[–]SkaterDrewSpace is deep 3 points4 points ago

Think of all the time before you were born that you didn't exist in..

Thinking about not existing fucks with me.

[–]mciancia 1 point2 points ago

Think of a time that you cant remember, being a baby for example. You did exist as a baby but you had no memory of it, maybe before and after life is the same thing. You experience it but will never have a memory of it.

[–]SkaterDrewSpace is deep 0 points1 point ago

But we physically exist, we stop when we die.

[–]stratosss 0 points1 point ago

Depends on what you think is "you". You're made of DNA from your ancestors. You think in a language created by others. There's not much that's distinct from other meat bags wandering this planet.

[–]ronintetsuro 3 points4 points ago

Nope. DMT tells me so.

[–]zyedy 1 point2 points ago

In the minds of those still living? Although I suppose when the last person who remembers you is dead, then you're officially nothing.

[–]Titties 0 points1 point ago

That's what she said.

[–]chaserplus4Bong ripper 2 points3 points ago

Woah! There goes my afternoon.

[–]SkyWulfNeat! 2 points3 points ago

Does...that count?

[–]coldvein 1 point2 points ago

Is it possible to be non-existent?

[–]Titties 1 point2 points ago

Infinity is kinda long.

[–]cadex 0 points1 point ago

False. There is no you so there is no do.

[–]broden 0 points1 point ago

That's the longest thing you'll ever don't.

[–]Bored 1 point2 points ago

Wrong. Longest thing you'll ever do is not exist + exist

[–]SuziGlass 0 points1 point ago

You have nothing to do with that.

[–]Costa21 1 point2 points ago

Just because it's the longest thing a person will ever do, doesn't mean it can't be considered short. Compare the life of a human to the life of, oh I don't know, a friggin star or planet.

[–]tha_doodNeat! 19 points20 points ago

That's because it is.

[–]NismoJase 2 points3 points ago

Yea, i don't like that at all. Now i'm all like, fuck seasons and shit

[–]Titties 1 point2 points ago

You live for 80 years. The universe is 13.7 billion years old. You're only off by a factor of 171 million.

[–]tompivo 67 points68 points ago

I've seen this gif many many times. With this title it's a completely different experience... Our perception of time just has so much influence on how we see and live in this universe. Thank you Edit: spelling

[–]stuckinplace 30 points31 points ago

I FOUND THE LOOPHOLE!

We don't have four seasons here...hahah...hahahaha...hah!

[–]Jimwoo 42 points43 points ago

I'm not a mathologist, but I'm pretty sure that means you die sooner.

[–]stuckinplace 29 points30 points ago

:(

[–]HopelessDistraction 4 points5 points ago

It's okay, bro. My summer is like 1 week long.

[–]WhipIash 5 points6 points ago

At least you have summer.

[–]jrgzz20 4 points5 points ago

Pssh at least you have a winter, south Texas here, we have like 2 weeks of winter all year. It's 90 degrees out right now.

[–]irish711Living life in peace 1 point2 points ago

If one season never ends, then those of us who live in the tropics will live forever... except for that pesky skin cancer. I guess the same goes for those who live in the Arctic and Antarctic.

[–]khafra 2 points3 points ago

I see what you Vizzini'd, there.

[–]staticfire 0 points1 point ago

Florida? It's still hot as fuck here and its mid October.

[–]MrKetz 46 points47 points ago

Much love to the person who found a dead redditors unfinished post and hit Save. We would have never known.

[–]datnewnew 16 points17 points ago

His head could have fallen when he died in such a way that it clicked the save button. Or he's a zombie. Tomato tomato

[–]awesomeideas 8 points9 points ago

Woah, dude. I read that as "toe-may-toe toe-maht-oh"!

[–]fortis_et_velox 8 points9 points ago

I, however, did not. The shame.

[–]datnewnew 7 points8 points ago

Haha I can see you reading it:

Tomato Tomato

Hm I don't get he's just saying the same word again. What is it? Maybe's he just really likes tomatos. Don't know what that has to do with zombies though.

[–]Anoos92Shroom initiate 0 points1 point ago

Hey he didn't even say Candlejack, what a fucking li

[–]Jimwoo 18 points19 points ago

Spoilers!!

[–]DavieJones333 27 points28 points ago

Just makes you realize how fleeting our lifetimes really are. It feels like the longest thing ever(for obvious reasons), but really it's just a blink in the eye of the Universe.

edit: parentheses misplacement :3

[–]X87DV 5 points6 points ago

[–]CornFedHonky 13 points14 points ago

Thank goodness I stopped watching at 70! Whew!

[–]nairb101 4 points5 points ago

WAKE UP DUDE IT'S 2082! Still no flying cars.

[–]JonBjSig 5 points6 points ago

Well then I'm going to stop watching it.

[–]MintClassic 5 points6 points ago

Incredible how the trees never grow!

[–]Asuperniceguy 0 points1 point ago

Well they're probably full grown and the exposure is only one year. It's like saying a 35 year old male should grow significantly by his 36th birthday.

[–]purrl 4 points5 points ago

thanks for the description. that's deep.

[–]BlueKiwi 4 points5 points ago

it seems to speed up after a while.

and when I had counted to fifty I thought "wow, have I really watched it that many times already".

[–]youknowit19 5 points6 points ago

seems to speed up after a while.

Just like real life. As a kid, a month/season/year feels like so long. But as we age it just seems to fly by. We grow up and it feels more and more like our lives are living us instead of the other way around.

Reminds me of the Ben Folds lyric: "you get smaller while the world gets big. The more you know you know you don't know shit."

[–]pushpusher 1 point2 points ago

By coincidence this front page link for an M83 remix plays at the exact beat of this gif. Also, as said many times, great title.

[–]virouchoy 1 point2 points ago

Listened to that while watching the gif and my heart just started racing -- feel like I want to go out and conquer the world! Fuck yeah.

[–]GoldLegends 4 points5 points ago

I stopped at 79.. I didn't want to die

[–]RicksterCraft 2 points3 points ago

Twsit: You double counted one year.

[–]kingzargon 3 points4 points ago

It's called Impermanence get used to it

[–]JimCasy 2 points3 points ago

It looks like a heart beating.

[–]avocadoadvocate 0 points1 point ago

and the oceans waves are the earth breathing

[–]Frankeh 2 points3 points ago

You turned a gif that could be pretty into a gif that made me think about my own mortality. Nice job, asshole.

[–]TimothyGonzalez[S] 0 points1 point ago

Well you turned a sentiment that could have been inspiring to a negative one. ;)

[–]mdczm3 2 points3 points ago

Watching that was making me think of different time scales, how we just perceive the universe at 1 relatively constant speed. But that's hardly the only speed it can be perceived at. There could exist a being that perceives the universe at the rate of this gif, far beyond the length of any animal on Earth (I believe). This could be the Earth's perception of time, each season is but a breath, some things only last one breath, we are fortunate enough to get a few more.

[–]glennmck2012 2 points3 points ago

this really put life into perspective for me

[–]ginger_lover 2 points3 points ago

This is depressing

[–]hlipschitz 2 points3 points ago

Fuck, I must have looked at like six or seven before closing the window... that was close.

[–]Bohzee 0 points1 point ago

most depressing title i ever read on reddit. why not, like "oh, christmas again!" or "seasons"?

[–]betyoudidntknow 0 points1 point ago

You just ruined my life.

[–]zedfox 1 point2 points ago

Grow little stump, grow.

[–]ck14136 1 point2 points ago

phew, I barely stopped in time...79.75; now I have a near death experience

Not enough times to watch this extraordinary and beautiful product of life. Take care of what you got and experience as much as possible.

I watch most gifs 2 times, this one , I've watched at least 10

[–]rafael000 0 points1 point ago

I live in the tropics. Oh yeah!

[–]hockey_312 0 points1 point ago

probably stared at this for about 10min straight

[–]soflaclaw 2 points3 points ago

I live in Miami...where we only have one of those :(

[–]heterosapiensapien 2 points3 points ago

Unbearable humid heat....got to love living down in the 305

[–]soflaclaw 0 points1 point ago

Today is actually quite nice! IS THIS OUR FALL?

[–]heterosapiensapien 0 points1 point ago

Yeah, this is our fall where the temperature drops about 10-15 degrees but it's still humid. Not AS humid as the rainy summer that just passed but still humid.

I'm assuming you just moved down here?

[–]soflaclaw 0 points1 point ago

No, I've actually lived here my whole life. It was a joke ;)

[–]WizardPowersActivate -1 points0 points ago

Well this is depressing.

[–]spaceboundmonkeys 1 point2 points ago

That title is epic.

[–]mario0357 0 points1 point ago

I don't like that tittle

[–]MrKetz 0 points1 point ago

I watched it for a minute, then got scared I might actually die if it hit 80, so turned it off. :(

[–]rubberduck1330 1 point2 points ago

Not if you live in Los Angeles! Then it's just 80 summers. A seemingly endless, and terrible summer.

[–]sl3ven 0 points1 point ago

And suddenly I feel depressed.

[–]l0l_cabbageNyanyanyana 0 points1 point ago

I feel... cough old...

[–]rhubarbish 1 point2 points ago

i spent those ~80 cycles frantically looking for something beautiful to hold on to

[–]avocadoadvocate 2 points3 points ago

But there is no you to hold onto anything. The world is in a constant state of flux as much as 'you' are.

The birds have vanished down the sky.

Now the last cloud drains away.

We sit together, the mountain and me,

until only the mountain remains.

[–]TimothyGonzalez[S] 2 points3 points ago

Goddammit, you guys have got the most poetic little comment thread going here :)

I used to kinda look down on /r/Woahdude, as a bit of a banal stoner subreddit. But my opinion of it has changed recently. In fact, in the subreddit that I used to hold in higher regard; HeavyMind, my xpost of this has garnered significantly more banal comments.

[–]avocadoadvocate 1 point2 points ago

got a bit /r/psychonaut up in here huh. Nah this place has some great discussion. Props to giving an otherwise ordinary (albeit beautiful) gif a thought provoking title

[–]littlemonster1618 -1 points0 points ago

SLOWER!

[–]Titties 0 points1 point ago

What are you guys going to do when you hit 70 or 80? I'm going to find some nembutal

[–]SegaGenocide -1 points0 points ago

I love you guys. I used to be scared of death but I'm not anymore. We don't lose our life, we just transition into some other form of life. And even if it's not "ideal," we're still floating around in the cosmos somewhere. Somewhere.

[–]SecretTrees 0 points1 point ago

Somehow this magically timed perfectly with the beat of the song I'm listening too.. (What Is It For - Elmwood) and blew my mind...

I'll go back to /r/trees now :D

Was listening Jynweythek by Aphex Twin to that, awesome man. I'll try to listen to whole Drukqs album with that ani ;)

[–]TimothyGonzalez[S] -1 points0 points ago

Nice, love Aphex Twin. Although I think selected ambient works II might be more fitting, the track Grass in particular.

[–]neutrinomaker 0 points1 point ago

Oh noe, I've been listening to 'Selected [...]' on acid once. Never ever do it again!

[–]TimothyGonzalez[S] -1 points0 points ago

Why not?? I've always ment to listen to some SAW2 (just realized it abbreviates beautifully!) on some psychedelics. I always imgined it would create an extremely profound atmosphere, whilst not becoming overwhelming or disturbing your thoughts.

What was your experience with it?

[–]neutrinomaker 0 points1 point ago

Oh, that's hard to explain. My thoughts were very different. Now every time I hear radiator (SAW2) or Xtal from SAW I feel strange. It was my second (and last) time on DXM. I think it was because of house I lived in that time, damn small cubicle. Maybe my mood. Maybe I took too much. I know, I know - dextro is bad drug.

Can't really conversate right now, I'll try to write more later.

[–]JonathanFruit 1 point2 points ago

I just went to the bathroom and left my mouse hovering over the link to this gif. I was in there for longer than I'd expected and the gif must've been playing for 10 minutes or so. I wonder how many lifetimes I just cycled through.

I don't want to look at it. I feel like some weird kind of black magic is taking place and if I don't look away the gif will siphon off my life force...

I'm high and this got me really anxious as I was watching it. I felt this anxiety that I was aging with the .gif and that if it went on for to long I would die here watching it. And eventually someone would find me here watching it in days or weeks and they too would see the screen and die investigating it. Or maybe windows update had already forced a reboot by then
