Why is there a github logo on that glass?

[–]MindOfJay 78 points79 points ago

I was wondering the same thing myself. Does this mean Github believes in the Balmer peak?

[–]codementum 24 points25 points ago

Given the frequency of their "Github drinkups", I'd say they do.

[–]myndless 11 points12 points ago

Most certainly. I have a friend who just started working for them. I'm not sure he'll ever be sober again.

[–]SAMElawrence 4 points5 points ago

I have two friends who just started working for Github... it's not like they were ever sober before...

    Hotlinking isn't very nice. This link would be more considerate.

    http://xkcd.com/323/

    Edit: my apologies

    [–]indyK1ng 18 points19 points ago

    It's funny that you say that because XKCD provides a direct link specifically for the purpose of hot linking. It's not very nice when they make ad revenue from views, but when we're talking about a website that not only has no ads, but explicitly provides a link for that purpose, I don't think it continues to exist as an issue.

    [–]WarlordFred 6 points7 points ago

    But the URL is specifically for hotlinking. It says so on the comic page.

    [–]Jess_than_three 11 points12 points ago

    While this is very true, "If you hotlink you lose the hovertext" still applies.

    [–]WarlordFred 1 point2 points ago

    I do enjoy extra humor...

    On an unrelated note, I would like to say that the party you guys threw on Friday was awesome; I hope I am able to attend another one of those in the future!

    [–]skalnik 1 point2 points ago

    Glad you enjoyed it! We have drink ups pretty often, so hopefully you shouldn't have to wait too long :)

    [–]Nintendud 0 points1 point ago

    Great! I'll keep my eyes peeled for announcements.

    Are you one of the GitHubbers who came to Scotland for the Whisky tour?

    [–]skalnik 0 points1 point ago

    Nope!

    [–][deleted] 0 points1 point ago

    aw, you should visit Scotland ;)

    [–]skalnik 0 points1 point ago

    I'd love to, but timing doesn't always work out. Some day!

    [–]acog 3 points4 points ago

    When this was posted before I believe they said it was from a github party, and they like gifs too, so an endless pour was born.

    [–]makinganotheraccount 3 points4 points ago

    Dunno, but now I want one.

    Edit: they sell pint glasses

    [–]JessieAMorris 0 points1 point ago

    Out of stock. :-(

    [–]bastian1343 0 points1 point ago

    For the love of sweet and sour Jeeburs, someone answer this.

    I must know why!

    [–]Wolfy87 0 points1 point ago

    GitHub merch. It's actually quite nice. I may have to get myself a new mug from there. If only to give something back for my 25 free repos.

      A bottomless glass of scotch stresses you out?

      [–]BCP27 170 points171 points ago

      More like the fact that no matter how much you pour in, you only get to drink the same amount.

      [–]stereopump 167 points168 points ago

      Technically, though, the bottle is endless.

      Quick, someone get a regular glass! We have some drinking to do.

      [–]mikeno1 81 points82 points ago

      You optimistic bastard. I love how you think.

      [–]ISHOULDSTARTDRINKING 28 points29 points ago

      Where does the "No matter how much you pour, that that amount does not come out of the bottle" theory fit in? EDIT: Words are hard.

      [–]mikeno1 23 points24 points ago

      This sentence makes no sense, please try again. I'm eager to know what you mean. Genuinely.

      [–]doitleapdaytheysaid 41 points42 points ago

      Looks like "ISHOULDSTARTDRINKING" already started drinking.

      [–]load_more_comets 4 points5 points ago

      Hey. It's 5 o'clock somewhere in the world. Might as well.

      [–]danny420 7 points8 points ago

      I only drink after midnight, because technically it's always after midnight!

        Reminds me of the infinite beer commercial

        [–]He_who_fights_foo 7 points8 points ago

        What's sad is that in alcohol commercials, they're not allowed to show people actually drinking the alcohol. Never happens. This guy lives in a world of infinite beer and nobody can drink it. :(

        [–]IAmA_Zombie 2 points3 points ago

        Fuck it. I'll swig it.

        Maybe the same effect will happen to me and I'll have a shot of scotch in me at all times.

        [–][deleted] 8 points9 points ago

        It stresses me out that I don't have a bottle of scotch right now.

        [–]pigferret 1 point2 points ago

        Not having a bottle of scotch can indeed be very stressful.

        [–]Formuler261 6 points7 points ago

        Finding a title to repost this under stresses them out.

        Well if you look at it that way...I mean I see it as more of "Why the hell won't my damn glass of scotch fill up?" type of thing. THAT would stress anyone out

        [–]FancyMoustache 0 points1 point ago

        Cinemagraphs in general stress me out because I feel like a scary image is going to pop out any second.

          Waitwaitwait, what's a "gif" supposed to be then? Strictly speaking, GIF is just a filetype, and even static images can be gifs.

          [–]yusufmte 11 points12 points ago

          cinemagraph is to gif as square is to rectangle

          [–]jenkren 7 points8 points ago

          most of the time a cinemagraph is a gif. I don't get why you said that, though, because the OP didn't say it was a gif when s/he posted. A weird thing to get touchy about considering (and i'm not trying to be a douche) you spelled breath wrong...

          [–]kels15 28 points29 points ago

          The gif is so clean! I don't even see the beginning. I love that.

          [–]TheSkyline 17 points18 points ago

          A well-looped cinemagraph is a beauty.

          If only the people who make DVD menus could figure this out...

          [–]pinkybones 6 points7 points ago

          Don't show us scenes from the movie we're about to watch. Just give us some inoffensive, seamlessly looping music.

          I seem to remember the DVD of Wong Kar Wai's In The Mood For Love having a really nice menu.

          [–]SelcouthBadger 2 points3 points ago

          An odd thing to remember...

          [–]isdnpro 0 points1 point ago

          Just give us some inoffensive, seamlessly looping music.

          For the love of God please don't. Nothing worse than hearing a DVD menu loop in another room, and there's nothing you can do about it.

          [–]2shotsofwhatever 0 points1 point ago

          Is there a way to make a cinemagraph a background on a computer and/or a cellphone?

          [–]vegeto079 1 point2 points ago

          Considering it's a gif, just search on Google how to make a gif your computer's (or cellphone model's) background..

              [–]RedWave 63 points64 points ago

              because it violates physics.

              [–]FishWash 8 points9 points ago

              Just imagine it's going through a funnel to a container under the table; then it's not uncomfortable anymore. Try it!

              [–]thegerbilking 2 points3 points ago

              Wow, that actually makes it totally better.

              [–]CoolHeadedLogician 2 points3 points ago

              Because no matter how much liquid goes in, it never fills up

              [–]beeshe 16 points17 points ago

              on the plus side, no matter how much is poured, the bottle never empties.

              [–]l0ve2h8urbs 2 points3 points ago

              i see a bottomless bottle of scoth and this is my reaction, i can see how that could be confused for stress...

              [–]LukaCola 6 points7 points ago

              Because something you always knew is being violated by an image that is just surreal enough to tread the line between reality and absurdity which just makes it feel wrong.

              That's how I'd put it at least.

              [–]nefarious_noodler 0 points1 point ago

              This. Guh, thinking about it gives me the heebie-jeebies.

              [–]Viatos 3 points4 points ago

              Because all your life, you've been trained by repetition to focus while pouring until the glass is full. This glass never fills. You're waiting for the moment you can pull the bottle away, but it's never coming, and the lack of progress is frustrating.

              [–]slyder565 0 points1 point ago

              It is weird that you replied to this thread.

              [–]Viatos 0 points1 point ago

              It is, isn't it? But I like the effect. I want to say it's poignant, even though it's not.

              [–]EricFaust 6 points7 points ago

              It's a pretty good metaphor for a recovering alcoholic. No matter how much you pour, it's never enough.

              [–]slyder565 2 points3 points ago

              Best reply so far.

              [–]robin5670 1 point2 points ago

              Because you feel as if all that nice scotch is being poured and wasted without a purpose.

                It. is. not complete!

                [–]ZombieSwagg 0 points1 point ago

                That made the alcoholic in me a little anxious.

                [–]RotterBones 0 points1 point ago

                Oh god it hurts. Why does it hurt?!

                FILL THE FUCK UP.

                [–]solmakou 0 points1 point ago

                This bothers me almost as much as trying to explain to someone why you can't divide by 0.

                I upvoted for the cat.

                I used to have this recurring dream of a big wheel spinning, like in The Price is Right or Wheel of Fortune. I'd spin the wheel but it would never come to a complete stop. The clicking sound is what I remember the most. Fast at first, but gradually slowing down until it got to the point where it was so close to stopping but it never would. I would wake up from the dream just as stressed out as I was in the dream. This makes me feel the same kind of stress, waiting for and end that will never come. Heebie jeebies, man.

                [–]Gih0n 0 points1 point ago

                I'm drunk and I feel like I could watch this forever. Thanks.

                [–]CopperKat 0 points1 point ago

                Anyone else remember that scene from Constantine? Yeah that stressed me out too.

                [–]rederick55 0 points1 point ago

                insert straw and proceed to drink until blood alcohol level is just below lethal level ...recover then repeat

                [–]needs_more_coffee 0 points1 point ago

                I yelled "NOOOOOOOOOOOOOO" when I saw this

                [–]Honey_Cheese 0 points1 point ago

                WHY IS IT NOT FILLING UP

                [–]imeatingpancakes 0 points1 point ago

                I don't know why it stresses out anyone else, but I keep freaking out that the glass is gonna overflow.

                [–]radde 0 points1 point ago

                How do you resize GIFs? I would love to use this as my sig on a forum on which I post.

                [–]green_helic0pter 0 points1 point ago

                This must be a way to tell if we're still dreaming or not.

                [–]TheyCallMeTravis 0 points1 point ago

                I can't tell if this is a blessing or a curse...

                [–]Frostler 0 points1 point ago

                Fill up you bastard!

                [–]Holmeslice28 0 points1 point ago

                What sorcery is this? It makes me want to angrily fill a glass of whiskey!

                [–]tcookc 0 points1 point ago

                that glass is such an alcoholic

                [–]PneumonicFungus 0 points1 point ago

                Cinemagraphs relax the fuck out of me..

                [–]vandidant 0 points1 point ago

                I don't get it. What's so stressful about this gif?

                [–]Defragmentation 0 points1 point ago

                This might mess you up too

                [–]zitfarmer 0 points1 point ago

                oh my damnit to hell! fill you bastard!

                [–]marchese51 0 points1 point ago

                I want this framed and on my wall

                [–]jakepatton123 0 points1 point ago

                it would me too if the uhh liquid decreased in thy bottle

                [–]ddddamn 0 points1 point ago

                I expected the glass to start swiveling around once the liquid passed that bulbous part of it, but uhhh yeahhh sure I guess this is stressful... kind of... sort of...

                [–]kapu808 0 points1 point ago

                Can anybody find the old thread -- I think it was about sounds that bother you -- that involved a Redditor freaking out about Mad Men because he hates the sound of pouring things, and "Mad Men is a show about pouring things!" This .gif would fit in there quite well.

                [–]nkronck 0 points1 point ago

                I feel like this is another Friday where a "few shots" pour right through the glass and the bottles gone by mornin

                [–]HoppedOnPop 0 points1 point ago

                I like to look at it as an alcohol fountain. The bottom of the glass has a tiny hole that loops back to the bottle, creating a never ending cycle of Scotch. It kind of eases the nerves...

                [–]ihutch01 0 points1 point ago

                this soothes me. never-ending whiskey, shit, sounds good to me

                [–]ronald_rager 0 points1 point ago

                Github glasses?

                Where does one get them?

                [–]chchch23 0 points1 point ago

                As an alcoholic, I can say this is the holy grail.

                [–]Eating_Some_Cheerios 0 points1 point ago

                An irishman has two wishes. First, he wishes for a never ending glass of guiness. He was so impressed by this, he wished for another.

                Sorry :(

                [–]feeblemuffin 0 points1 point ago

                please don't steal other user's work and repost it, it stresses me out.

                [–]umdiddly 0 points1 point ago

                you should xpost this to /r/Cinemagraphs

                [–]Coherent 0 points1 point ago

                Thanks for that! Subscribed. Very relaxing hehe.

                [–]cold_fire149 0 points1 point ago

                It makes a great android phone background though.

                [–]_moist_ 0 points1 point ago

                It's a screwcap bottle, it can't be all that fine anyway.

                [–]DocOTaco 0 points1 point ago

                that calms the crap out of me.

                [–]GitEmSteveDave 0 points1 point ago

                Damnit! Odo took the shape of a glass again in Quarks!
