http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1000_Ways_to_Die_(season_4)

A group of stoned teenagers in a park decide to mess around by putting one of the back tire of one of the teen's motorcycles against the base of the carousel, getting on, and revving the bike up to create a large centrifugal force on the merry-go-round. With the carousel rotating at an extreme speed, the one of the teens flies off and his brain stem is impaled orally on a horseshoes pole sticking out from the sandbox nearby.

[–]fridgee 20 points21 points ago

Im sure there are better sources than 1000 Ways to Die.

[–]rattlemebones 8 points9 points ago

His... brain stem was punctured orally... this sentence hurts my head.

[–]moistmongoose 0 points1 point ago

Seems to work quite a bit actually.

[–]Bipolarruledout 1 point2 points ago

It sounds like the pole broke his fall.

[–]snailwithmonocle 0 points1 point ago

Of course, it's stupid as fuck. What I can't believe is that after seeing this people actually think it's a good idea.

[–]pgamh 5 points6 points ago

oh jesus that dude's head

[–]milkspores 2 points3 points ago

I remember when this first got huge on the internet I couldn't believe people kept trying it after seeing countless videos of people being bent backwards and flung out. Either they thought it wouldn't happen to them or they didn't care, I'm betting on the first one.

[–]Bipolarruledout 1 point2 points ago

"Dude, those people were wimps! Nothings gonna happen!"

[–]deltarob 1 point2 points ago

why do I imagine this would be 1000000x better (deadly) if you swap the merry-go-round for one of those human hamster wheels

[–]0100110101101010 261 points262 points ago

He went so fast it looked like he changed direction.

[–]arksien 81 points82 points ago

There's a name for this phenomenon, it's actually called the wagon wheel effect.

[–]XarabidopsisX 91 points92 points ago

In scientific communities, it's know as aliasing.

[–]arksien 29 points30 points ago

I like your term better for two reasons

1) SCIENCE! and 2) It doesn't remind me of a shitty country song that I sorta liked before the frat guys down the street started blasting it on 11 every night for the past two years.

[–]I_PACE_RATS 19 points20 points ago

It's bluegrass.

[–]porkpie-hat 7 points8 points ago

And its mainstream success doesn't make it a bad song, m'kay?

[–]jimmytheone45 1 point2 points ago

Fuck yeah.

[–]ZeppelinJ0 6 points7 points ago

Old crow medicine show?

[–]rubixqube 3 points4 points ago

Change what you associate it with! If you hate that song, this is one of my favourites. Or grab yourself a Wagon Wheel biscuit and associate Wagon Wheel with delicious diabetes.

[–]Deviathan 2 points3 points ago

Personally the term reminds me of Oregon Trail, wherein I always forgot to get spare wheels and mine would break.

I suppose thats a bit of an unrelated note though.

[–]Adonej 4 points5 points ago

You have died of dysentery.

[–]FellerFeller 6 points7 points ago

So THAT'S what anti-aliasing means! I've seen that option in the settings for so many video games and never bothered to figure out what it meant.

[–]coder0xff 14 points15 points ago

Eh... it's not quite the same thing in video games. That's talking about spatial aliasing, what we see in this gif is temporal aliasing.

[–]Ramuh 33 points34 points ago

Actually, no. Aliasing is a group of effects, that happen when the "resolution" of something is too low.

The effect in the gif is called temporal aliasing. It happens because there are too few frames in the gif.

The thing in video games is called spatial aliasing. In Video Games you get edges that look like stairs, which happens because there are too few pixels to draw a "straight" line. Anti aliasing tries to minimize this effect with a few technical tricks.

[–]Whoopah 11 points12 points ago

I'm not sure if it is actually in some way the same, but anti-aliasing in games is the artificial smoothing of edges like this.

[–]gfixler 1 point2 points ago

Anti-aliasing is also a term that means boycotting shows starring Jennifer Garner.

[–]Razer1103 0 points1 point ago

Makes edges less jagged.

Nuff said.

[–]atatassault 1 point2 points ago

The Stroboscopic Effect is more appropriate, as this effect rarely shows up when seeing an event with your own eyes. The Stroboscopic effect is also a more general effect to cite, since an appropriate shutter speed can create an illusion of no movement.

[–]Fantasticfatcat 0 points1 point ago

an illusion of no movement

I do this by using the photo, rather than video, setting

[–]FarmerTedd 8 points9 points ago

Direction? Where he's going he doesn't need direction... I'm sure something to throw up into would be appreciated by everyone though.

[–]DemonMuffins 2 points3 points ago

Im lazy. tell me what your name translates into.

[–]mkyweriga 0 points1 point ago

Numerically speaking

0100110101101010 = sum([16384 2048 1024 256  64 32 8 2])

and thus 19818. Which means nothing to me...

[–]0100110101101010 2 points3 points ago

Sorry that's wrong. It's binary code and translate, using the ASCII alphabet, into MJ which are my Initials. :)

[–]DemonMuffins 1 point2 points ago

I knew he was still alive.

[–]mkyweriga 1 point2 points ago

The minute after I posted I thought it was probably ASCII but then I didn't want to do any more work for silliness. And then you came through!

[–]Yoyo8 0 points1 point ago

looks like he was trying to go back in time..http://youtu.be/F4ukoAV37h0

[–]SokkyoPiano 43 points44 points ago

[–]Im_Easy 20 points21 points ago

That makes it lose at least 3 awesome points. Gif looked far more intense.

[–]VonBargenJL 23 points24 points ago

TIL: real life is less intense than gifs

[–]borgros 0 points1 point ago

It looks more intense because of the lower frame-rate of the gif. Aliasing occurs in the gif because of it's low frame rate so he appears to be going in reverse after a certain speed. This makes it so that when he falls out of the chair, it looks like he suddenly switches directions again in the gift, while in the video he continues to appear to be spinning in the same direction the entire time.

[–]littleHiawatha 5 points6 points ago

Why is there a baby with horrible birth defects in the related column?

[–]pakchooie 2 points3 points ago

Oh wow, Juliana Wetmore. I had completely forgotten about her. Something Awful had an article about her on the front page years ago. It seems like it might have gotten taken down at some point. All I can find now is this: http://www.somethingawful.com/d/news/im-here-ruin.php

[–]littleHiawatha 0 points1 point ago

Is there a back-story to this?

[–]pakchooie 1 point2 points ago

[–]drmunkeluv 1 point2 points ago

Plus carbon monoxide in a closed garage

[–]Oltima 98 points99 points ago

How did he stay up for so long. Ive tried this at the office so many times and no one last that long

[–]Xdivine 166 points167 points ago

You use a leaf blower in your office to spin at high speeds? Must be nice to have such a laid back job environment.

[–]Mad_Physicist 148 points149 points ago

He's an astronaut.

[–]Rasalom 4 points5 points ago

A Chinese one.

[–]BZLuck 23 points24 points ago

Government job.

[–]EmperorSofa 18 points19 points ago

You guys should have tournaments. I'd pay to watch.

[–]JackAceHole 9 points10 points ago

The average leaf blowing chair spinner lasts for 8 seconds. Didn't you see the Luke Perry movie?

[–]Dudley_Clingman 4 points5 points ago

Its too bad that the whole "That's what she said" fad is over. I would have raked in the karma for this one.

[–]FuckYoureShit 0 points1 point ago

I think the blower was strapped onto him or the chair.

[–]luke95836 196 points197 points ago

You spin me right round baby right round...

[–]Shmoppy 13 points14 points ago

Yeah, it lost the subtle creepiness of the original.

Yeah I, I got to know your name
Well and I, could trace your private number baby
All I know is that to me
You look like you're lots of fun
Open up your lovin' arms
I want some    

[–]pingas 2 points3 points ago

Oh, you mean the one by Dope? I didn't think it was that bad, honestly.

[–][deleted] ago

[–]greg19735 2 points3 points ago

While that song definitely sampled or was inspired by the original it's not like it was a remake.

[–]cubiclecomaschizo 1 point2 points ago

i have a thing for 80s songs covered by metal or punk bands and that dope cover is one of my favs. also like fear factory's 'cars', and hell, even disturbed's 'land of confusion', although i also like the sector seven version as well as in flames version. in fact i just really like land of confusion hah.

[–][deleted] ago

[deleted]

[–]cubiclecomaschizo 0 points1 point ago

sector seven and in flames are punk not metal so im not sure if it'll be your thing. i couldn't find sector seven on youtube, but i was able to find it on some odd russian site.. link

and that shadow falls cover was pretty good, i'll have to get their albums and add them to my collection. and i didn't know that gary actually helped with the fear factory video hah nice.

[–]Jemmani 0 points1 point ago

Was it the way they threw in oral sex to the whole thing?

[–]luke95836 0 points1 point ago

you are very welcome... the new and "better" version wouldnt have done justice.

[–]NottaGrammerNasi 0 points1 point ago

While I'm sure you meant this one, this one was the one I heard growing up and prefer myself.

[–]Zondraxor 1 point2 points ago

a bit too harsh for my taste, but still much, much better than the Flo-Rida rip-off.

[–]Yoyo8 11 points12 points ago

[–]hyp3r 9 points10 points ago

When I was a kid, I spent the afternoon at a friends house, and they had a giant tree in their backyard, with a very long swing hanging from one of the branches. It was amazing, probably 5 times the length of a typical swing.

Anyway, after doing normal swinging and jumping off it and so on for an hour or so, one of the brothers suggested I try a "Dizzy Wizzy". So I sat in the swing, an they each took hold of a rope and walked in a circle, twisting me around and around. They continued to twist me around, and the swing went higher and higher until they could no longer reach and let go.

I spun for at least 2 months, or at least that is what it seemed like. When it finally reached the bottom, it kept going and started twisting up again. When it finally slowed down, I fell out of the swing (which was now a considerable distance from the ground) and was so dizzy I could not stand up and I puked everywhere. I was dizzy for hours and generally felt sick for days.

To this day, just thinking about doing something like that makes me break out in a sweat.

[–]BlanketSlayer 4 points5 points ago

I swear I felt a little dizzy and nauseous just after reading this. I get dizzy stupid easy which ruins rollercoasters for me.

[–]hyp3r 1 point2 points ago

I made myself a little bit sick typing all that out while remembering it.

[–]tjtoml 1 point2 points ago

Fuck I want that car. Actually, not that one, I want the one they put a fucking V8 in.

[–]acog 1 point2 points ago

I don't even care how fast it is; after all, it's not like I would drive a normal Atom and go "oh, this thing is just too slow". What really fires my imagination is just the thought of a V8 that can rev to over 10,000RPM.... holy crap what a sound that must be!

[–]OhShiznitz 2 points3 points ago

[–]MrBoog 8 points9 points ago

Tosh steals content from Reddit, Reddit steals jokes from Tosh. It's the circle of banality.

[–]KngHrts2 0 points1 point ago

I just want you to know that I shall henceforth use "circle of banality" in my everyday speech. Thank you, great one

[–]squisch 9 points10 points ago

At least credit Tosh for making the joke.

[–]GophaKyorselv 0 points1 point ago

Two jokes (go to page 2) from 7 months ago with the same joke. I doubt Tosh is the original here.

[–]goblinpiledriver 9 points10 points ago

It was amusing and impressive for the whole time, and then the last few frames made me burst into laughter. A funny post in /r/funny? woah. (don't even care if it's a repost or not)

[–]yatinarora[S] 0 points1 point ago

I've just woken up to see that this post made to the front page! Although I must say I'm let down by almost 45% downvotes. I specifically checked Karmadecay but this isn't a repost and even all the comments are positive. Is there something that I'm doing wrong?

[–]goblinpiledriver 0 points1 point ago

I don't know. I have no idea whether or not it is a repost.
