This somehow looks more painful than jumping from the stratosphere

It wouldn't have been so bad, but his visor fogged up.

I mean, how does the cat's head EXACTLY correspond to the three bass notes before that? And the jump. Such level of magnificence has rarely graced Youtube with its presence.

[–]steezdoug 7 points8 points ago

'It didn't match perfectly at first. I had to tweak the clip speed levels a couple times.' - from the video description.

That was EXACTLY what i was expecting lmao

Good god that is amazing!

[–]imtallerthanyou 3 points4 points ago

I have never seen this before, and even if this (might be?) a repetitive repost (or meme, which in some ways can be considered one in the same), all I can do is thank you for keeping it going. I don't know why, but out of all of the shit I have seen on the internet, this made me laugh the hardest.

[–]predvestnik 8 points9 points ago

I shed a tear of genuine happiness at such perfect execution.

[–]agbullet 9 points10 points ago

you had a custom GIF ready 15 minutes after Coffeewithcheesus' post. Are you a wizard

Edit: Ahhh. So, not a wizard.

[–]Their_Police 25 points26 points ago

I saw that one a few days ago, he's probably got it saved in a gif folder somewhere.

[–]GluonJetPilot 12 points13 points ago

I'm betting on a gif binder.

[–]Bruce_Bruce 15 points16 points ago

Not my work. Their_Police and clarkster are correct, I have a bookmark folder full of .gifs, all waiting for appropriate situations(that's normal, right?)

[–]agbullet 20 points21 points ago

[–]orangetj 11 points12 points ago

can you upload a zip of that?

[–]clarkster 8 points9 points ago

I saw it a few days ago, he probably just saved it then.

[–]DarkIuna 21 points22 points ago

Has anyone the link to the video? I searched it myself, but it's not effective to search for "funny cat" on youtube.

You seem to have put everything in the right place. You can draw. good enough for most purposes.

It's funny because Slim Jims seem like one of the only things they would eat in that society.

That and some EXTRA BIG ASS FRIES!

he actually did, just didn't make it in the gif hahahaha

He's dead ladies and gentlemen

[–]Kalmah666 143 points144 points ago

you're supposed to cut to a commercial break first... its what they do every time someone dies in sports...

"Oh he hit the wall... OH god this is horrible... oh the humanity.. the Tide car is torn to shreds and the shreds all catch on fire... oh god... god... oh why... god I cant watch this anymore... cut to break"

"Tide gets tough stains..."

[–]slycurgus 128 points129 points ago

"....out of racetrack walls" ??

[–]unclerummy 39 points40 points ago

Also fire suits and car upholstery.

[–]ZiggyZombie 43 points44 points ago

They should prerecord special ads for each driver. "Hi I am Joe Driver and I just was in a possibly fatal accident. I just want to take this time to remind you of the thirst quenching power of sprite."

[–]BraKes22 11 points12 points ago

The irony here is they actually use Tide to clean racetracks of fuel spills.

no need to apologise for that.

Sorry.

[–]Brenny 7 points8 points ago

What country are you in? Can't get it in Canada. Story of our lives :(

[–]Second_Foundationeer 66 points67 points ago

The description of the video.. "Prepare for four inches of pure excitement!"... sounds like the motto for much of Reddit.

[–]ducttape36 22 points23 points ago

the doctor at the very end did it for me.

[–]LeonChestnut 12 points13 points ago

I knew this was the doing of Conan & crew.

[–]Neverwinters 3 points4 points ago

That dog... it was... oh my god D:

[–]omnigrok 10 points11 points ago

That video just went on and on and on. Like the gif much better.

[–]cC2Panda 25 points26 points ago

I did enjoy the doctor declaring him dead though.

[–]0strand47[S] 14 points15 points ago

yeah, i think it would have been better to add the parachute in the gif though

[–]i-Jonty 4 points5 points ago

nah, It's 100X funnier to just repeatedly watch him hit the ground. The parachute delay is too long. Actually, if you cropped so the pull was instant.. Idea?

[–]willmcavoy 4 points5 points ago

i wanna see the headcam footage

[–]UnexpectedSchism 7 points8 points ago

[–]Koenigspiel 123 points124 points ago

Sometimes you have to be really close to the ground to realize how big it is

[–]favela_astrobleme 13 points14 points ago

Clarence is that you?

[–]TaurusA 235 points236 points ago

Slim jim gives you very tiny wings.

[–]Melvar_10 62 points63 points ago

the minute that guy transformed, i nearly died

[–]cswider 30 points31 points ago

Nearly R.I.P, Melvar_10.

[–]support_the_surreal 188 points189 points ago

Just want to point out in the description.

"Prepare for 4 inches of pure excitement."

[–]NeonSummer 93 points94 points ago

Ohoho, as in penises.

[–]Appare 21 points22 points ago

Well, I think it would just be one penis, but yeah, that would work too.

[–]ActionScripter9109 3 points4 points ago

It actually took 4 of them to reach that length.

[–]string97bean 178 points179 points ago

This has many things in common with the last time I had sex.

[–]IndianaJwns 214 points215 points ago

There was no control and a narrow stick of meat was involved?

[–]bobosa911 159 points160 points ago

And it ended in under a second

[–]funnydan 29 points30 points ago

By himself, watching Conan

[–]AngryCod 42 points43 points ago

Someone died from it?

[–]DeltaBurnt 31 points32 points ago

Last I checked, what OP posted actually happened.

[–]philipquarles 28 points29 points ago

It's a once in a lifetime world record?

[–]pieterh 23 points24 points ago

Your room mate and dog watched?

[–]unitarder 18 points19 points ago

You did it by yourself and millions of people watched it?

[–]Navevan 17 points18 points ago

Sponsored by slim jim?

[–]frozengopher 15 points16 points ago

It made the front-page of reddit?

[–]TehWut 15 points16 points ago

you had a failed safety measure?

[–]diamond 19 points20 points ago

Conan O'Brien made a joke out of it?

[–]Hellrazor236 10 points11 points ago

It was less than 4 inches?

[–]warhawk754 5 points6 points ago

Only one person was involved?

[–]akshayxyz 3 points4 points ago

you wear parachute?

[–]timasahh[!] 107 points108 points ago

Saw this on Conan, and if I recall correctly this man died on scene from the impact.

A true American hero.

[–]T-Luv 28 points29 points ago

His parachute opened too late. He never stood a chance.

[–]AddingHallowedAnnie_ 1 point2 points ago

Gotta love Conan.

[–]Sugreff 48 points49 points ago

Am I the only one wondering where the head cam footage is?

[–]kaeby 153 points154 points ago

Headcam footage http://i.imgur.com/CKqQJ.gif

Made by u/GeneralBS

[–]OrangePrototype 245 points246 points ago

It's scary how accurate they have to be. Had he been 50 ft higher, he would be dead right now.

[–]Xx420xcirclejerker69 15 points16 points ago

I don't know why this doesn't have more upvotes, fucking genius.

[–]Avery17 11 points12 points ago

But he is dead... watch the video!

[–]AbsentReality 5 points6 points ago

I cant because the video is racist against Canadians.

[–]Poofengle 3 points4 points ago

A matter of feet makes the difference between life and death. Such precision, such courage...

[–]TheRealDJ 6 points7 points ago

They did show headcam footage immediately after.(from Conan)

[–]0strand47[S] 106 points107 points ago

Yeah I hear that similar to the stratos jump, this freefall also had no wind resistance

[–]DrTorpedo 45 points46 points ago

It had floor resistance, though.

[–]need_about_treefidy 201 points202 points ago

[–]Melvar_10 98 points99 points ago

....did you just take time to calculate wind resistance of a 4in free fall, JUST to make a meme??? upvote

[–]predvestnik 127 points128 points ago

[–]N69sZelda 9 points10 points ago

it actually varies with the velocity squared. So at first there was no drag force but by the end of it .322N sounds about right.

EDIT - there is however a buoyant force the whole time.

[–]Appare 11 points12 points ago

Hey, it's the math guy.

[–]Athiss 15 points16 points ago

You should all be ashamed of yourselves for joking about this tragedy. If you watch the full video his chute didn't deploy in time and he died on impact.

[–]Verteros 25 points26 points ago

Fucking inspiring. God bless America.

[–]fisticuffs32 22 points23 points ago

"oh yeah!!!"

[–]ptgkbgte 28 points29 points ago

Still not as good as the "shut down everything."

[–]Langfe88 105 points106 points ago

Does no one realize this was on Conan?

[–]VoodooAK 97 points98 points ago

I don't watch TV and don't follow Conan. So nope. Did not realize.

[–]JingleHymrShmit 18 points19 points ago

TV is pretty cool man

[–]JacksonHannan 5 points6 points ago

I'd rather have Internet.

[–]IamIronman123 51 points52 points ago

You're assuming we watch Conan.

[–]TheGrammarKnight 35 points36 points ago

It's actually "you're" in this case, buddy.

[–]Frankocean2 27 points28 points ago

How do you know that?? maybe he knows OP owns an assuming.

[–]mikkednb 7 points8 points ago

I own three assumings...they're ok i guess.

so eat slim jims, drink red bull, and fall?

Saw this on Conan. funnier when you see the whole thing.

[–]jbg89 23 points24 points ago

That's exactly how I bang your mom.

[–]rasputine 91 points92 points ago

In 0.006 seconds and two inches?

[–]jbg89 26 points27 points ago

you dam right!

[–]Appare 6 points7 points ago

Look at that, ladies and gentlemen. The wild jbg89 was so stunned by the burn by the wild rasputine that he took a shocking blow to the grammar and spelling capillaries. He did his best to play it off cool, but the damage was unfortunately too major. Hopefully the wild jbg89 will find his pack and get his wounds treated.

[–]GluonJetPilot 2 points3 points ago

Rasputine's rapier wit and recollection of facts he read but 5 minutes prior to his reply has unfortunately rendered jbg89's rebuttal ineffectual and not effective enough to defend himself, his family's honor, and ultimately his life. We pay our respects to jbg89, but we are faced with the sober realization that rasputine has inflicted mortal grammatical and rhetorical wounds to jbg89, and send our deepest condolences to jbg's family and acquaintances.

[–]SkepticLolz 1 point2 points ago

At least this guy had a camera on his helmet.

[–]WhatsAFratStar 1 point2 points ago

Where's the helmet cam footage?

[–]IDCimSTRONGERtnUinRL 1 point2 points ago

Can we get a shot from the helmet cam?

[–]awhaleofatale 17 points18 points ago

And he didn't use a parachute. This man is a hero.

[–]Turnip_Blaster 32 points33 points ago

[–]lethargicwalrus 7 points8 points ago

What a ballsy motherfucker.

[–]speedbrown 4 points5 points ago

He did, just didn't make it to the gif.

ed: to*

[–]redeyemoon 7 points8 points ago

Not the shortest. Laying down is a zero length fall. Apple taught me that.

[–]Buckeyesmt 1 point2 points ago

Snap in to a slim Jim!

[–]Dubookie 4 points5 points ago

Must fight nerd instincts...Alright, here we go:
d=vt*.5gt2 where

*d -> distance travelled
* v -> starting velocity
* t -> time of fall
* g -> gravitational acelleration (32ft/s2)

Initial velocity is 0, so the equation is 0.333=.5(32*t2).
Solve for t; t=0.144 seconds.

The time of that fall should have been 0.144 seconds, not 0.006.

Get it together Conan!

[–]Scisyhp 26 points27 points ago

Did you just do physics using the imperial system...

[–]calcuwat 7 points8 points ago

You forgot to calculate for air resistance.
