I bet you're glad you learned how to make gifs yesterday.

[–]cridgey 9 points10 points ago

I like you

[–]infectedapricot 6 points7 points ago

Tip for OP: if you want to avoid this reaction, post to /r/gifs instead. There aren't as many subscribers, but the people there actually want to see GIFs.

Three cheers for appropriate apathy!

[–]Slippyy 0 points1 point ago

Sigh... I envision a world of reddit without karma whores like you. But then again, reddit would most likely cease to exist.

[–][deleted] ago

[–]Slippyy 0 points1 point ago

Absolutely nothing! That's what great about people like you begging for it.

[–]Slippyy 0 points1 point ago

I actually think you believe the bull that you say. You are very good at convincing yourself. If you used reddit to "save links" this is absurd you can easily do so by bookmarking. If you didn't need the karma you wouldn't even bother! The only thing worse than a karma whore is one who tries to deny he is one. If you just said "Yea, so what, I did." I could respect you, but this, this is pathetic.

[–]Slippyy 0 points1 point ago

Haha you are so full of shit. And clearly don't understand. If I wanted the precious precious points I would be going to the same lengths as you to find a popular link, and repost it in the same damn day. Real class!

[–]jointsmcdank -1 points0 points ago

You should be commended.

[–]TripleHomicide 5 points6 points ago

He probably just lifted it from the original thread.. where it should have stayed.

[–]Katsuichi 0 points1 point ago

Because it's important that you never click the same link twice, right?

[–]phyf3r[!] 200 points201 points ago

[–][deleted] 18 points19 points ago

As OP of original submission, might as well plug the dude in the video/gif: https://twitter.com/OneLoveCandyman

[–]phyf3r[!] 6 points7 points ago

God damn, abs of Thor.

[–]xzim 2 points3 points ago

It's actually how things seem to work.

A video is posted, and shortly thereafter someone makes a .gif of it and posts it. Then that .gif is re-used later on as a reply/comment to someone's post, and then it's forgotten about until it's reposted again two weeks later. People complain about the repost-in-question, but it still gets 900+ upvotes.

No use fighting it.

[–]thderrick 17 points18 points ago

[–]Tossedinthebin 1 point2 points ago

[–]Aisthetiks 29 points30 points ago

I enjoyed the .gif very much. Probably more so than when I saw the original 10 min ago.

[–]phyf3r[!] 2 points3 points ago

Regardless, he/she used the same title and posted it about nine hours after the original. Riding on someone else's coattails hardly seems fun, unless those coattails were being ridden on in a literal fashion. Now if only there was a gif of that...

[–]bersh 31 points32 points ago

HOW DARE HE ACCUMULATE WORTHLESS INTERNET POINTS THAT HE DIDN'T EARN. THIS IS AN OUTRAGE!

Someone please explain why we care so much? You think the guy who posted to video made the video?

Also, when I'm at work I can't really play youtube videos at my desk, but a quick gif to make me chuckle is one of the many reason why i like reddit.

[–]fighter4u 4 points5 points ago

People who actually understand how reddit works? Without people down voting reposts and shaming people who karma whore they make sure reddit doesn't rushed to the lowest common denominator type posts. This was literally just posted and if he wasn't karma whoring he would had posted it in /r/gifs!

You think reddit is bad now? It could be so much worse.

[–]barneygale 3 points4 points ago

People who actually understand how reddit works?

Redditquette:

Please don't:

Complain about reposts. Just because you have seen it before doesn't mean everyone has. Votes indicate the popularity of a post, so just vote. Keep in mind that linking to previous posts is not automatically a complaint; it is information. Votes indicate how the community values information, so just vote.

[–]fighter4u 0 points1 point ago

And your point is? I am not talking about what the polite thing is to do on reddit, but how reddit actually works out in the wild internet.

[–]ParanoidBeing 0 points1 point ago

Taking things from other people and reposting them mere hours later without giving credit to the original. I won't have Reddit turn into a 9gag clone, I WON'T!!!

Edit- I stand corrected. Although I don't like the circumstances of the gif, you did give credit where it is due, and I apologize.

All that sweet precious karma is now being taken away, that's why you get for being a piece-of-shit karma whore.

Didn't watch the video due to short attention span. Was glad to find a gif within hours.

[–]fluffybunnyofdoom 0 points1 point ago

This is was reddit is, gif-reincarnations of videos.

That and cats. I love cats...

[–]worryfr33 0 points1 point ago

Totally expected a video of a man sliding forward and this gif was just reversed. I was much more amused

[–]G-Winnz 0 points1 point ago

I undid my upvote here and went to the original to give him his due for a humorous .gif

[–]dog_in_the_vent 11 points12 points ago

At least let it get off the front page before you repost it.

[–]Stratocaster89 15 points16 points ago

Rodgerjm is exactly what is wrong with reddit.

[–]jointsmcdank 1 point2 points ago

Easy tiger.

[–]InsulinDependent 21 points22 points ago

Wow, karma addiction is getting worse if people can't even wait a day to repost things they saw on the frontpage.

[–]1CUpboat 5 points6 points ago

your frontpage

Not everyone has the same frontpage. I, for one, did not see this.

[–]InsulinDependent 0 points1 point ago

it was on the frontpage of r/all

[–]1CUpboat 4 points5 points ago

I don't look at that. I look at my frontpage.

[–]InsulinDependent 3 points4 points ago

That's fine, but THE frontpage is a reference to r/all

[–]Katsuichi -3 points-2 points ago

That's fine, but who really cares?

[–]InsulinDependent -1 points0 points ago

He did, or he wouldn't have replied to my initial comment.

[–]Katsuichi -4 points-3 points ago

Voicing an opinion on a matter is not synonymous with really caring about an issue. When you strip away the meaningless inanities of your life, like a reddit repost, you'll find that you, too, don't really care!

[–]InsulinDependent 2 points3 points ago

Voicing an opinion is exactly the definition of caring, at least to the extent necessary to do so.

[–]1CUpboat 0 points1 point ago

I care because entire threads of people bitching about reposts is so god damn annoying.

[–]Katsuichi -2 points-1 points ago

No.

[–]HOTRICHARD 0 points1 point ago

believe it or not, not everyone looks at reddit everyday. Hell, sometimes I go TWO days without looking at reddit. I've never seen this, and I laughed my ass off.

[–]InsulinDependent -2 points-1 points ago

Yes, obviously. The difference here is it was taken the same day and posted immediately into a different subreddit while the original was still on the frontpage.

[–]iamlew -1 points0 points ago

Wahhhhhh!

[–]StewieBanana 5 points6 points ago

Wait a second! What the fuck just happened?

[–]Accelerator 2 points3 points ago

I'm guessing a thin layer of ice is covering the road and he is sliding down the street. Don't know how he built up that much speed though.

[–]turriblenoob 2 points3 points ago

this guys in Santa Monica, CA there's no ice

[–]controlpoint 9 points10 points ago

but still, how is this possible?!!

[–]BDaught 0 points1 point ago

What? He just lubed up with some of this.

[–]milner93 -1 points0 points ago

And i'm guessing he got this from the top comments, as it's there. Everyone on the karma train >.>

[–]iamagainstit 0 points1 point ago

rollerskates

[–]HawkEgg 0 points1 point ago

This guy regularly does dance performances in Santa Monica with other insane, impossible stunts. For example, multiple consecutive flips all on a single leg.

So, to answer your question. It is not possible.

Came here to state the same thing. I love chillin' on the Promenade watching all the performers, and people.

[–]lazybeef 0 points1 point ago

you get a downvote just for your stupid ass title.

[–]FifthElement 0 points1 point ago

This is a street performer at the Santa Monica 3rd street promenade. This is his best trick he has up his sleeve. Other than that he changes his songs and clothing like a crack addict. He chooses a song, builds up the crowd, takes off a jacket or hat then goes back to his ipod to change the song. Every 30sec, every fucking time.

[–]deadendcruiser 0 points1 point ago

I've seen two other posts of the video and now your gif within 24 hrs. No more.

[–]Slippyy 0 points1 point ago

[–]simmons2714 0 points1 point ago

I'm not sure if the was going forward and then someone reversed it or that is real. So I just going to let magic take the detention of this gif.

Can someone reverse gif this please!?

[–]PsychedelicDonut 0 points1 point ago

You're all fucking retarded.

[–]feelixxx -1 points0 points ago

Welcome to reddit, where r/videos and r/funny are basically the same thing because of idiots like rodgerjm.

[–]microcrash 0 points1 point ago

It was only a matter of time for a gif...

[–]Smaskifa 3 points4 points ago

9 hours, to be precise.

[–]Katsuichi -2 points-1 points ago

9 hours I'm sure spent generating whorls of creativity in your own life!

You're not spending enough time on reddit, racekarl! For shame.

[–]Anesthesiakk -1 points0 points ago

Not even one month, just a few hours ago.

[–]Katsuichi -2 points-1 points ago

The rule is, stop giving a shit about reposts, because they happen.

The other rule is, don't spend so much damn time looking at stupid links and getting worked up if you've seen them before. It's asinine.

[–]pawn_guy -1 points0 points ago

I hate people like you.

[–]klitchell -1 points0 points ago

I'm still trying to figure out what exactly are haters hating on this?

[–]Orval -1 points0 points ago

Thirteen hours ago and I JUST saw the original post this morning when I got off work. This is just sad.

[–]Katsuichi 1 point2 points ago

Hey, maybe you should spend less time on reddit!

[–]Orval -1 points0 points ago

I notice you've replied multiple times throughout the thread responding essentially the same answer. There's a difference between a repost from a few months ago and one from a few hours ago (that was on the front page)

[–]Katsuichi 0 points1 point ago

There is no difference; I care equally about both situations, which is to say, not at all. The maddened drive for trivial stimulation is doing none of us any favors, and it's brought into focus when people gripe about a free link aggregation service incorporating some understandable redundancy.

It's a question of 'understanding enough to accept what you can't change/strong enough to change what you can't accept.' The former is the only applicable situation in this case, so give yourself a little peace and let it go.

[–]cridgey -1 points0 points ago

If hating you means that I'm a hater, then I am a hater.

[–]WildfireFox -1 points0 points ago

[–]kallebumkvist 1 point2 points ago

No, I mean you saw this video in the thread you posted, and turned it into this gif. Why did you repost this rather than putting it in the comments of the original?

[–][deleted] ago

[deleted]

[–]kallebumkvist 2 points3 points ago

So why did you repost it here?

[–][deleted] ago

[deleted]

[–]kallebumkvist 1 point2 points ago

sorry, changing the format of something doesn't make it original content.

[–]scruffy01 2 points3 points ago

Well slap my ass and call me Sally, I guess it wasn't reversed.

[–]caitlinreid 12 points13 points ago

Nah you were right, he got all of the crowd to walk backwards perfectly so he could turn this into a gif.

[–]Bagbobilbins -1 points0 points ago
