[–]rarisgod 16 points17 points ago

I'm confused as to why gifs take longer to load than videos.

[–]Madonkadonk 16 points17 points ago

Because a video can be buffered at different resolutions. Gifs can only be what they were when they were created.

[–]dizzy_lizzy 6 points7 points ago

Maybe on youtube.

It is less about it being on youtube and more about it being a good programming practice

Video compression is more efficient than gif compression.

Chappelle did actually post this in twitter, but he did it like a year ago (or perhaps last christmas) and not 2 hours ago. The original has been posted here before I believe. Repost of a tweet? Repost of a tweet that's a repost of a tweet? WTF.

Working across from an Apple store, 11 is hardly that young. Try 5-6 year olds with brand new iPads. Had a 9 year old kid (his mom said something about him not even being 10) screaming outside my store that his parents wouldn't get him the newest iPad to replace his iPad 2. Couldn't believe it

[–]wtfamireadingdotjpg 1 point2 points ago

Breaking news!! Butthurt Redditor whining about other Redditors being pompous in a thread where the original post and the discussion is about little kids having iPhones/iPads.

"What a poorfag"

said pompous Redditor after posting a typical asshat comment that doesn't add anything to the discussion at hand. More at 11.

Dude your entire comment history is just shitting on other redditors for using memes or following along in the discussion on various topics that you don't like (anything money related seems to aggravate you).

--I can't fathom how unecessary it was to make this into six separate .gifs. Either a video clip or just still frames would have gotten the joke across just as well.

--This hasn't been relevant since probably 2007.

--Pretty sure these were drawn by a homoerotic teenage girl.

--Because memes are stupid, unclever, and hardly funny.

--You named your flamethrower Fire? How fucking retarded is that?

--Maybe don't put the punchline in the title you fucking idiot.

And that's just a slice of the first page of your history. You're just an ass, let people have their fun. Go take your buttfrustrated tears somewhere else, they're not even tasty.

Yes fellow redditors, feel free to downvote my post as it doesn't add to the discussion as reddiquette calls for. I just felt like calling this guy out.

[–]Zao1 17 points18 points ago

Not 10-15 years ago kids were doing the same thing with Gameboys... is there really that big of a difference? In price, maybe, but with inflation it's not a massive difference. iPad apps are often 99 cents, compare that to old Gameboy games.

Every generation thinks the new one has gone to shit.

[–]Ffsdu 7 points8 points ago

Game boy cost $89 when first released. I believe the price was halved shortly there after but I can't find confirmation. With inflation that's only $166 in 2012 or a small fraction of the cost of an iPad.

Tldr: there's a big difference.

[–]Battletooth 5 points6 points ago

Now that's just the cost of a gameboy. What good is it without games? We need to factor in when they got the gameboy, they probably wanted all the newest games right when they came out as well.

[–]SicilianEggplant 2 points3 points ago

And the iPad (or any tablet these days) fills several roles, which could be easily offset by not having to buy a portable DVD player for families that take trips, cd player (since the portable DVD player with screen only lasts 3 hours), game device with games and extra batteries (and maybe a light for you GBA or whatever)....

I mean, these are all things that I'm sure many people here had at some point growing up, but suddenly kids are spoiled.

I'll admit that the parents with the whining kid who wants the new iPad to replace his "old" one are fucking up, but an iPad by itself is not a terrible thing for kids to have access to considering all of the potential devices that others had growing up.

[–]breannabalaam 2 points3 points ago

Well, some iPads are 4G, which is another $30 a month, which was the cost of a gameboy game. Then you have to pay for most game apps as well, which can cost up to $20.

With gameboys, kids would also play the same game until they beat it, and maybe got two or three new games for Christmas/birthdays.

[–]Ffsdu 2 points3 points ago

Not to mention this kid was going from an iPad 2 to an iPad 3. That's $1700 of hardware in two years, give or take.

You are spot on about the game cost too.

[–]breannabalaam 0 points1 point ago

I wouldn't even think about doing that to my family. I respected them, and knew they weren't an infinite supply of money.

[–][deleted] 0 points1 point ago

I did this to my family, but with Hot Wheels cars. I'd be a little shit if I didn't get cars that cost $1. My family didn't have much money so we couldn't get them. :(

[–]Digital_Phoenix 0 points1 point ago

People are more willing to spend money on luxuries than they were in the past? No way.

Nearly every child of the 20th century and beyond in the Western world is a spoiled little shit. People always desire more; it's in our nature and is a way to get us motivated.

[–]gyrferret 0 points1 point ago

This is very true. I got my gameboy around 1999 (when I was 8/9) and that cost my parents a pretty penny.

Of course they, being first time immigrants, didn't have much money to begin with. I don't find it hard to believe that a parent would shell out $500 to a kid for a "gaming/media" device when my parents shelled out over a hundred for me.

As a proportion of income, I don't find that hard to believe at all.

[–]Flea0 1 point2 points ago

Kids have always, and always will, tried to convince and nag their parents into getting them whatever shiny object catches their attention, some more, some less aggressively. It is completely up to the parents to educate them on what to expect for their age, so yes, the squealing kid is annoying and we all feel like giving him a wedgie, but the culprit is the one he's clinging onto.

[–]wtfamireadingdotjpg 0 points1 point ago

I know it's the parents, I see the same thing happen even in my store of parents giving into their kid's every whim. That $140 massive Elmo plush? $60 massive Pikachu? etc. My apologies for not touching on this.

It's not. I was at one of Dave's stand-up shows and he mentioned that the account everyone follows isn't him. The fake account insulted another comedian, who then replied with insults at Dave.

It's not meant to inspire. It's meant to draw unwarranted attention by the unauthorized use of someone else's likeness, and thereby their reputation.

[–]CobraCommanderp 1 point2 points ago

Totally meant that sarcastically. It bothers me to see parody accounts like the Will Smith and Wiz Khalifa ones that seem to be run by high school girls "Be the man she wants you to be, a true man is bla bla bla bla".

[–][deleted] 11 points12 points ago

I never understand the complaints of the younger generation becoming familiar with modern technology. People just get upset when kids' childhoods aren't exactly like their own.

[–]hopstar 6 points7 points ago

I don't think it's the "getting familiar" thing that people are complaining about, it's the whole spending "$400-600" on an iPhone or iPad for a 10 year old. I can see the utility of giving your child a phone for easy contact and piece of mind, but spending $200+ on a phone and $40+ per month on data plans just so you can keep track of your spawn seems utterly ridiculous.

[–]proggR 1 point2 points ago

Ya I'm sure I'll have a "family" iPad that I'd gladly let my kid use while they're at home. But that thing is not leaving the house. There's tons of educational content available on it that I wouldn't want to deprive them of, but its not "theirs". Its mine, and they can use it, unless they fuck up and then they can't. Especially with the new One App feature in iOS 6 (I'm not sure if that's the actual name) where I can start an app, lock it down to only run that app, and hand it to my kid. That'd be a sweet way to teach things I'm sure, and you don't have to worry about the kid getting into other crap while they're pawing at your device.

My kid definitely won't have a phone though. I'll send a crappy pay as you go phone with texting disabled with them on school trips or when they go to a friends in case of emergencies, but I would never buy my kid a phone just so they have a phone. They can get one when they have a job and can pay for it.

[–]packerbacker1221 0 points1 point ago

But then your kid's gonna be lightly teased for not having a phone!

[–]proggR 0 points1 point ago

Lol oh no! It is a bit of a concern, but at the same time I can't parent based on how other parents do, otherwise you'd always have that one that drags the rest of the kids down slowly until they become whiney little assholes that expect everything at all times. I wouldn't necessarily have a problem with getting my kids cool things, but a cell phone is just not ever going to be one of them.

Also I love the random downvote for that. No comment. No studies showing that parenting that way would be damaging. Just a single, lonely downvote. In my head its by a kid who's parents didn't get him/her a phone :P

[–]littlebighuman 4 points5 points ago

My 3 kids, all three under 8 years old, share one iPad and a Nintendo 3DS. It teaches them responsibility, sharing and technology. Also, when I say stop playing/watching they know they have to comply (nice word). The oldest also has a mobile phone, which she only takes with her on trips for emergencies and for taken pictures. They can use my wife's iMac (they have an account with some parental controls etc) and they are allowed to play on our iPhones if they ask us.

I also let them help cook food, using knifes, teach them about heat etc. I consider it my job to prepare them for the big world as best I can.

[–]dinnerordie17 3 points4 points ago

If ipads had've been around when I was ten I would've been eating that shit up.

[–]OmegaVesko 1 point2 points ago

It's not 'getting familiar' that's the problem here. It's that parents are far more willing to spend $500 on a Christmas present than they used to be.

Remember how hard it was to get your parents to buy an SNES or N64?

[–]FireReadyAim -3 points-2 points ago

I had to save my shitty allowance for a fuckin year to get a SNES, and that shit was like $150. It has nothing to do with familiarity with technology and everything to do with feeling entitled.

[–]twonx 2 points3 points ago

Dave Chappelle wouldn't say "you little shit".

[–]danmayzing 2 points3 points ago

Not sure if he was serious, but Dave Chappelle did mention during a recent stand-up act that I went to in Memphis that he used to do the Twitter thing but quit after a short time. He did joke about the fact that there is some guy pretending to be him on Twitter that is posting stuff, and that he got into a Twitter war with Katt Williams. He went on to say that he had to call Katt up because the stuff he was saying to the fake Dave was hurting the real Dave's feelings. Could have just been a bit, but I'd say he's just lazy enough to not give a fuck about Twitter and would just let it go and watch it.

TL;DR - Dave Chappelle claims he doesn't use Twitter. Possibly fake, but still a funny quote.

But seriously, the human brain isn't designed to be content indefinitely just because you acquired some high tech piece of gadgetry. We get bored of things and want more, with no end in sight. That's kind of the basis of our global corporate economy. So I don't blame the ungrateful little shits.

[–]Digital_Phoenix -2 points-1 points ago

God forbid kids of today get something that wasn't in commercial use when you were a kid.

[–]TheRandomHero -1 points0 points ago

You're missing the point. An 8 year old girl doesn't need a cell phone, and quite and expensive one, at that. She's 8 years old, she doesn't need a cell phone, or her own laptop, or for fuck's sake even a tv in her own room! Where is an 8 year old going that they need a cell phone? Just because beepers were all the rage when I was in that age range doesn't mean I had one!

And yes, I read your other comment saying "I didn't know iPhones only made blahblahblah..." Again, if that's the big worry get them a game.

[–]Digital_Phoenix 0 points1 point ago

No one needs any entertainment device of any kind, yet I bet you had a television while growing up. And don't try to argue that it was a shitty TV with three channels. You still don't need it. And there were old people who could only see moving pictures when they went out to an event to see it. Some people didn't even get to see them.

Case in point: Any generation before you could very make the same argument, so get off your high horse and realize standards change over time.

[–]jungletek 0 points1 point ago

You guys both have points. Here's mine: If you give an 8 year old a $500 phone, you probably have too much money, too little sense, or both. Cracked screen within a month, most likely... if not worse.

[–]TheRandomHero 0 points1 point ago

That's a good portion of what I'm trying to get across as well. Why are you giving an 8 y/o such an expensive item?

[–]TheRandomHero -1 points0 points ago

My family had a tv, I did not. We had one in the living room, it was my parents, and it wasn't carried around with me to break so my parents would have to buy me a new one.

[–]Digital_Phoenix 0 points1 point ago

Standards change over time, or have you forgotten about the 1970s kids picking on the 1980s kids for having portable video games? Plus, having a cell-phone is actually practical, as one can call their parents on a whim if they get lost (like at an amusement park or another big event).

Terrible thread. Downvote.

[–]brosenfeld 0 points1 point ago

I didn't realize that a child can only use an iPhone to call their parents when their lost. God forbid they were to try to do that on a vanilla feature phone.

[–]Digital_Phoenix -1 points0 points ago

I didn't realize I said that iPhones can only call people. God forbid people have luxuries that weren't available to them in the 1990s.

[–]brosenfeld -1 points0 points ago

They were so available. The phones were bigger and there were sometimes roaming charges.

[–]Digital_Phoenix -1 points0 points ago

I meant iPhones.

And of course cell-phones were available during the 1990s, but they were hardly the necessity people deem them today. Now they're more affordable and commercialized.

Why does everyone have such a problem with things being convenient? It seems like progression gives everyone an excuse to exercise their self-imposed sense of superiority, as if they don't realize that older generations were doing the exact same thing to them.

I don't care how many jobs you worked or how hard you supposedly had it; the fact that you had shelter, food, and water easily at your disposal and weren't in a constant state of worry for your life means you were spoiled.

But yes, kids today are so spoiled... as opposed to 10-15 years ago when kids still had everything in the world minus an iPhone.

[–]brosenfeld -1 points0 points ago

I didn't have everything. I always wanted a Super Soaker and Nerf guns, but my parents never bought me any. I also grew up without cable or Nintendo or internet access. We first got cable in 1996 and internet in 1997 or 1998. Having been born in 1982, and having been without the same luxuries as my friends, I was often left with just my imagination as a means of entertaining myself. Today, such a thing is practically unheard of. I mean, an imagination? Who needs that with the amount of affordable digital stimuli on the market today?

[–]Alcaredi 0 points1 point ago

My friend's parents spoiled their children when they were young to make up for their neglectful parenting. They would buy them expensive toys and gadgets, trying to compensate for how little they were there.

My other friend's father was an abusive drunk, but ran a successful small business. Every time he drank too much and physically hurt one of his children, he would buy them something new to apologize. It didn't happen often, and I didn't hear about it until I was much older - but don't ever assume just because a kid has some expensive gadget like an iPhone that they are spoiled rotten, or that they have no reason to cry or complain.

At least children have the excuse of just learning when it comes to technology. It's the adults with them that have little excuse.

A iphone doesn't mean love or affection or understanding or even caring parents.

I hate to be a cynic, but fuck, I literally just said this on another post. Are you people jealous?

[–]Newestmember 0 points1 point ago

I always fight with myself whether or not to upvote something that may be good but has a seriously shitty title. Happens a lot here.

[–][deleted] -1 points0 points ago

what if the 11 year olds parents are abusive, both physically or emotionally, and then try to make up for it by buying them expensive things like an iPhone. I think they have the right to be upset.

[–]newBreed 3 points4 points ago

  1. Find a popular post.

  2. Take the joke way too seriously and try to debunk with large stretches of the imagination.

  3. ?????

  4. Karma?

[–]neutralpiehotel 1 point2 points ago

I thought the same thing. Everyone just wants to laugh at a stupid joke though, no one else will understand that whether or not one has an iphone is not a determinate of quality of life.

[–]HumTrr 2 points3 points ago

no one else will understand that whether or not one has an iphone is not a determinate of quality of life.

Uh. It is pretty determinant. By knowing he has an iPhone for example we can determine he belongs to the richest 10% of the world population. And that is playing it safe, we could constrain it further to 0.5% with more assumptions (his age and nationality.)

That's pretty damn good. I mean, out of 9 people chosen at random plus you, you are the most fortunate one, at worst. How is it not determinant?

Sure a rich kid may be unhappy, but I guarantee you he would forget about his current problems in a second if you erase his identity, turn him black and throw him in Liberia.

the belief that money and/or possessions can fill the void in a person's life is a very widespread one.

Oh, come on. Do people actually believe this isn't true? You deny that wealth helps fill the void? We agree on that, right? That on most situations, on average, wealth helps, right?

You are just saying that it doesn't always help, right? I would agree on that.

And I realize you are not actually stating your opinion on it, I assume you are implying it.

[–]kravitzz 1 point2 points ago

belief

He didn't say "misconception", so i think he meant "opinion".

Some people believe that it fills the void, some people don't.

I fucking do, of course, but as a writer and journalist it never has been a problem for me.

[–]neutralpiehotel 0 points1 point ago

Yes I very much believe that it helps. But things like psychological disorders (i.e. bipolar, depression, etc) don't just pick poor people to strike. Also, rich parents can be abusive just as much as poor parents can. I'm just saying it totally depends on the situation, and you will never ever truly know what goes on in anyones life/head/etc except your own. I just don't like the hateful/judgemental attitude of "oh lets hate on this kid because he has something I don't have boo hoo" because it is just as/sometimes more immature that the kid complaining even though he has an iphone. Its a contradictory mindset.

I DID NAZI THAT COMING!

[–]ninjasenses 1 point2 points ago

I think this is getting played out...

[–][deleted] 1 point2 points ago

I wouldn't be that bad if people would come up with original puns but its always like

I did nazi that coming.

Anne frankly I'm offended by it.

That joke was reich on the money.

etc, they follow the exact same formula every time, it was kinda funny the first time, but we need a final solution to these pun threads.

[–]Pootytang001 -4 points-3 points ago

I can't tell if this is circlejerk satire or just a genuinely awful post.

[–]soxy 0 points1 point ago

Genuinely awful since it's a fake Twitter account.

[–]DeviousD0ng -1 points0 points ago

I'm actually sitting next to a pouty 12 year old with a 64gb iphone 4s. My extended family is fucked up.
