6 days in. No signs of change but I was promised that the end was worth it. I'll report back as soon as I get there.

[–]tim7967 9 points10 points ago

1 year here, we seem to be making some progress. Finale not in sight.

[–]marketinequality 5 points6 points ago

Wait, wait... I think I see something. Just wait for it to zoom and enhance.

[–]suprsqrl 10 points11 points ago

My brain is all like "yeah bro that gif is most definitely zooming in" but my eyes just kinda stared at it and then were all like "hmm..oh, that's trippy, YO BRAIN, DIS SHIT IS JUST MESSING WITH US" and then that's when I went to post this comment. This period of time however did take about 4 days

[–]lordalch 1 point2 points ago

Why does the OP never deliver? It can't be that I keep choosing bad OPs.

[–]Vorkraze 103 points104 points ago

My brain wants it to zoom in, my eyes are telling me it is, WHY THE FUCK ISN'T IT ZOOMING IN

[–]everyother 10 points11 points ago

[–]Okhranka 10 points11 points ago

It's similar to /r/wtf's "ಠ_ಠ" title. I see that one on their frontpage at least once a week...

I love you.

[–]Grooth 152 points153 points ago

[–]Ferbtastic 146 points147 points ago

It took me way to long to stop waiting for it to be all the way zoomed.

You almost made it!

[–]irrelevant_novelty 19 points20 points ago

I lol'd. Not exactly sure why, but, fuck it--well done.

[–]burnso 7 points8 points ago

Flip the time so that it goes from old to new (left to right) and make it a line chart: after that it's perfect!

[–]TwistTurtle 79 points80 points ago

And yet, I've still never seen it till today. Good job, OP!

[–]Jess_than_three 22 points23 points ago

If I haven't seen it, it's new to me!

[–]Anaphase 27 points28 points ago

And that's why everyone should stop complaining about reposts. It's new to someone!

[–]TheNr24 8 points9 points ago

Proven simply by the number of upvotes, people for who this isn't new will either downvote or not vote at all.

[–]culturalelitist 6 points7 points ago

Personally, I'll even upvote reposted gifs as long as they keep entertaining me every time I see them.

[–]Luthos 7 points8 points ago

No fucking kidding. Repost complainers are so annoying.

[–]flyleaf2424 16 points17 points ago

Yeah, I don't know why people bitch about reposts so much. Click hide, and move on.

[–]isopropophlex 23 points24 points ago

Maybe he meant the unavoidable bitching about reposts?

[–]culturalelitist 6 points7 points ago

LOOKS LIKE WE'VE GOT A KARMA BANDIT ON THE LOOSE

Seriously, who gives a shit? The whole point of a gif is that you can watch it over and over again and still enjoy it.

[–]mybossthinksimworkng 5 points6 points ago*

looks like it got better with age.

[–]Obad-High 3 points4 points ago

The only thing I gathered from this is that he won the karma war.

[–]hankchill 8 points9 points ago

I'm assuming you're upset about this repost or else you wouldn't have gone through the work to find this out and make your comment. Are you upset with the person posting this or the entirety of r/gifs for upvoting it to the top? I've never understood the mindset of a repost nazi (sorry that sounds mean but I lack a better term). Reddit is a rapidly growing site and inevitably there are going to be things that are reposted that these new redditors haven't seen before (or they could even be the ones doing the reposting). No offense, I love reddit as much as the next guy, but whenever I see people complaining about reposts I feel like it might be time for them to take a little break and go get some fresh air.

[–]Pxlnight13 1 point2 points ago

Nice table, Did you have to type out everything or do you have some sort of script that will make the table for you? (looking at the source of your comment, it seems pretty involved)

[–]culturalelitist 1 point2 points ago

[–]cutofyourgibberish 1 point2 points ago

That's a repost. Also, all I did was say it was a repost, if you have a DVR you probably see that the show is a rerun on the episode information there as well. Consider my role that of programming information.

[–]culturalelitist 1 point2 points ago

That's a repost.

Yes it is, and it makes me laugh whenever I see it.

all I did was say it was a repost

Nope, you clearly portrayed it in a negative light because it was a repost.

[–]Fookimoose -2 points-1 points ago

Thank you.

[–]quantumandy 30 points31 points ago

Coastlines are fractal. It's the easiest way to measure the true coastline of an island.

[–]SickSalamander 18 points19 points ago

Coastlines are infinitely complex. As you measure them more and more accurately, their length always approaches infinity. There is no "true coastline length."

[–]rifk 5 points6 points ago

I don't think it's really fair to say "infinitely complex"; one could argue that it's possible to measure them down to the molecular level though. But I don't really know.

[–]sdtoking420 7 points8 points ago

You're assuming math cares about the physical world.

[–]rifk 2 points3 points ago

Uh, what? I don't understand what you mean.

[–]ultrafez 0 points1 point ago

If you believe in string theory, then isn't that the smallest level of detail you can go? So theoretically you could measure the coastline down to the string level, and that'd be the exact measurement.

[–]sdtoking420 0 points1 point ago

I'm inclined to say that there is theoretical "space" (although not physical) between any atoms, strings, or any physical object, though I am not versed on quantum mechanics so this is something of an assumption.

[–]gpwilson 0 points1 point ago

Personally I think it matters what you definition of "length" is in this issue.

[–]NoseKnowsAll 8 points9 points ago

Yes - doesn't the coastline of Great Britain have a Hausdorf dimension of 1.25?

NINJA EDIT: found it. Wikipedia

[–]mojofac 3 points4 points ago

In mathematics, the Hausdorff dimension (also known as the Hausdorff–Besicovitch dimension) is an extended non-negative real number associated with any metric space. The Hausdorff dimension generalizes the notion of the dimension of a real vector space. That is, the Hausdorff dimension of an n-dimensional inner product space equals n. This means, for example, the Hausdorff dimension of a point is zero, the Hausdorff dimension of a line is one, and the Hausdorff dimension of the plane is two. There are, however, many irregular sets that have noninteger Hausdorff dimension.

So magic. Got it.

[–]jaylow17 1 point2 points ago

Learning this in class now. Its so fucking boss. Thanks for the article for extra reading.

[–]LovinItsWhatIGot 2 points3 points ago

I'd listen to this guy, he nose his stuff

[–]miss_missa 4 points5 points ago

I reloaded this a few times because I was convinced that the gif actually started off far away and then zoomed in closer and then just kept repeating once it reached a certain height.

And then I found out I was wrong and I was sad.

[–]thenameislogan 2 points3 points ago

hahaha, this is a long gif, but omg, the ending xD

[–]HEROXV 9 points10 points ago

WHY WONT IT ZOOM IN!? Ive been here for hours

[–]stephenlethbridge 1 point2 points ago

I just spent a solid minute wondering how that gif was going to end. I was so sure it was going to be some dude's ass...

[–]steenarie 1 point2 points ago

This was the first gif I ever clicked on when I visited Reddit for the first time. Ah memories!

Have some upvotes, good sir!

[–]kahunaxmike 1 point2 points ago

I'm very high and not afraid to admit i stared at this for an outrageously copious amount of time before I realized it wasn't going to hit the ground.

[–]mark331 1 point2 points ago

At first, I thought it was a satellite zooming in, then I thought man, it's taking a real long time to zoom in. Then at the exact moment, my mind was just just dripping with fuck.

[–]alpharain 1 point2 points ago

I waited like 40 seconds for it to zoom all the way in before I realized what was happening.

Then I kept staring at it.

[–]saveamericaskids 1 point2 points ago

Wait a minute... it's not zooming in at all!

[–]Crimsonarchon 1 point2 points ago

Let's go deeper - mapception!

[–]Twatticus 1 point2 points ago

Fuck you, ILve been drinking mostb and ive been sittting here for four minutes watch8ing this. YOu wasted my time fuckwitt..

[–]Proassult 1 point2 points ago

I kept on hoping it would finally zoom in... then I discovered the loop.

[–]theoneandonlypeter 1 point2 points ago

Girlfriend: "How long are you going to look at this for?"

[–]elmariachi304 1 point2 points ago

Great example of the fractal nature of coastlines. Reposts are fractal-like too. This whole post is very recursive.

[–]The_Resisty 1 point2 points ago

This is a fractal. They're really cool and mind-bending. If you want to see more fractals, here is a good video.

Still waiting for it...

[–]reeru 0 points1 point ago

...i waited a whole min expecting it to zoom in on some hot chick on a beach..

i sad now.

[–]HectortheRican 0 points1 point ago

I let out an audible groan while seeing this in class to express my WTF-ness. I was then forced to show everyone. Everyone had the same reaction.

[–]USS_Internet 0 points1 point ago

I WANNA GET OFF! I WANNA GET OFF!

[–]sistermorphine1 0 points1 point ago

I watched this for almost 5 minutes straight after finally realizing it won't zoom in completely. Oh the horror!

[–]JustINCREDIBLE_ 0 points1 point ago

is it bad that I had to watch it at least 20 times before I realized it was always the same?

[–]king_hippo77 0 points1 point ago

If you look at the end of the road (or whatever that long dark line is) as it hits the beach it really looks like you're still zooming in. To quote Bill and Ted as they plummeted to hell in the Bogus Journey "Whoah dude, this is a majorly deep hole."

This "fractal" image shows why it is nearly impossible to accurately measure the lenght of our coastlines. The further you zoom in the more detail adds to the length.

[–]Piratiko 0 points1 point ago

Well, I'm not sure if you've noticed, but people don't really like reposts here.

[–]culturalelitist 0 points1 point ago

Sure, but why? Also, posting it to /r/trees would be a crosspost, not a repost.

[–]Piratiko 0 points1 point ago

It would be both, because this image has also been posted to r/trees in the past

[–]culturalelitist 0 points1 point ago

Not before six hours ago, at least according to karmadecay. I don't know if that's 100% reliable, though.

[–]quasiperiodic 0 points1 point ago

so are all these posters newbs, or trolls or what? i can't figure it out.

[–]yuribotcake 0 points1 point ago

I find it as a strange phenomenon. It's almost as if their memory is so short that nothing gets retained. Or perhaps they just cross post, to get karma, because it gives them false sense of being appreciated. Because their parents don't love them.
