Clever gif maker looped it to hide the dark end of the original video http://i.imgur.com/dcNWM.gif

[–]Turdcervix 191 points192 points ago

Kudos for the cameraman not intervening, I know it was probably tempting, but nature has it's own way and we need to accept that.

[–]edstatue 53 points54 points ago

He's the one who dug the pit and lit in on fire, after all.

[–]cbs5090 21 points22 points ago

Technically humans are a part of nature. So technically, Turdcervix is correct.

[–]edstatue 1 point2 points ago

But Mr. Turd Cervix made a distinction between the cameraman and nature-- if the cameraman were part of nature, he wouldn't need to "intervene" or not.

[–]Lightfail 50 points51 points ago

Is it bad that I thought it was legit until I saw the explosion?

[–]i_no_like_u 1 point2 points ago

It is legit, we are still missing the beginning of the video where Master Shake pushes the kitten down the slide.

It's cut when the kitten is almost at the bottom of the slide.

[–]so_carelessly_here 77 points78 points ago

When I first read your comment, I actually thought that you forgot the letter "e" and that you meant to write :

It's cute when the kitten is almost at the bottom of the slide.

"Why does he think that only that specific part is cute?"

Yeah. I'm going home now.

Inside the house.

[–]lolcatrt 0 points1 point ago

And where are your kittens?

[–]Brisco_County_III 6 points7 points ago

Yep. It's a great coincidence for ease of looping that the kittens ended up in damn near the same place, probably due to the shape of the slide.

[–]PhiladelphiaIrish 21 points22 points ago

I don't think I could tell you when it actually switches over.

[–]I_give_karma_to_men 19 points20 points ago

I can just barely make out the brief jerk where it switches, but I had to look pretty closely to catch it.

Oh I see, there's some ms paint trickery in the very last frame. Clever.

[–]Exaskryz 2 points3 points ago

gif-explode just became a favorite site.

[–]Odusei 7 points8 points ago

If you're on chrome, this should make your life even easier. There's probably also a Firefox extension, but I'm too lazy to look it up.

[–]Exaskryz 1 point2 points ago

I couldn't find a firefox extension like it. So, gif-explode is more convenient.

[–]captainpixystick 4 points5 points ago

I couldn't find a firefox extension like it.

That's something I'm not used to hearing.

[–]resisting_a_rest 1 point2 points ago

There is a link to a bookmarklet that should work with Firefox on the gif-explode.com homepage.

Drag the bookmarklet to your bookmarks for later use.

Then when you have a gif you want to explode, just right click on it and select "view image" (if the direct URL to the gif is not already in the address bar), then select the bookmarklet in your bookmarks.

[–]JamesTrivettesHat 3 points4 points ago

It helps that there are two identical looking kittens doing seemingly the same thing.

[–]DutchPrisoner 1 point2 points ago

And I suspect it's perfect because the same sized cats will logically fall the same way and distance on the same slide.

[–]Alianthos 1 point2 points ago

When the second one slides to the bottom and the slide stops for good, you can see a slight cut. From this point its the first kitten again, and his mother come and pick him.

[–]Im_not_bob 6 points7 points ago

Then what happens?

[–]glenbolake 0 points1 point ago

The changing zoom level, plus the fact that the two kittens look very similar, makes it hard to tell when they do the cut.

[–]gg4465a 0 points1 point ago

There's only one kitten. It's two video clips spliced together.

[–]gg4465a 1 point2 points ago

There aren't two kittens. It's the same kitten, but there are two video clips spliced together so it looks like there's one kitten falling right as the other kitten is taken up the slide.

[–]Le_Karma_Whore 0 points1 point ago

dat loop

[–]yanceylebeef 75 points76 points ago

We would also have accepted Sisypus.

[–]snutr 15 points16 points ago

But we would not accept CookiePuss -- the 1970's era tasty Carvel product and contemporary of Fudggie the Whale and not an apocryphal allegory of some Kafkaesque purgatory.

[–]88327 5 points6 points ago

I prefer Nanerpus

[–]crshirley58 1 point2 points ago

You can call me nanerpus, nanerpus!

[–]gg4465a 0 points1 point ago

I feel that "Kafkaesque" is not used often enough these days. Why, one could even use it to describe the futile act of pressing the "Close Door" button on the elevator or the button that supposedly changes the traffic light.

[–]snutr 0 points1 point ago

I feel the same way about sarcasm.

[–]gg4465a 0 points1 point ago

Yea, I bet you do snort

Read that as "Syphilis Cat." Needless to say, not what I was expecting.

[–]Logan59 14 points15 points ago

For the same reason we always look into the bag marked "Dead dove. Do not eat!"

It's like she thinks she has her Syphilis contained but a bit just keeps escaping wanting to see the world.

[–]NostromoXIII 3 points4 points ago

The cat was owned by Albert Camus.

[–]7revor 5 points6 points ago

Yes the GIF loops perfectly... but what really happened?

[–]Cellophane_Flower 2 points3 points ago

Well, thanks for sending me to youtube. Just spent 40 minutes, video hopping my way over to the cute dogs, to newfie puppies, to newfoundlands with toddlers, and even saw a newfie on a kayak meeting a manatee.

Jerk.

[–]seianat 0 points1 point ago

That shit scared me.

[–]Lord_Nuke 15 points16 points ago

I realize it's a repost, but I never get tired of watching this. It is looped absolutely flawlessly and I am questioning the nature of the universe just a little bit as to how this could be possible. This is a work of art.

[–]Daotar 7 points8 points ago

We must endeavor to imagine Sisyphus happy.

"Fly you fools!"

[–]jakemyers7 0 points1 point ago

It took me forever to realize that its the same kitten

[–]To_serve_and_protect 6 points7 points ago

It's not the same kitten. You can clearly see that the mother still has one kitten in her mouth when the other kitten comes over to her at the top of the slide.

[–]Pidggit 3 points4 points ago

However it is the same kitten that gets carried up the slide every time.

[–]jakemyers7 1 point2 points ago

now my brains fucked

[–]seianat 2 points3 points ago

The second kitten slides off of the slide, but it loops before it does, you are only see the first kitten getting carried up, and the second kitten sliding down.

[–]To_serve_and_protect 0 points1 point ago

that is correct.

[–]oneslyfox 0 points1 point ago

It loops while the kitten is sliding. When the camera jumps in and out. Otherwise flawless.

[–]neuralien 0 points1 point ago

It's not the same kitten. If you look closely, the right hind leg of the second kitten has less white fur than the first one.

[–]Ramartin95 1 point2 points ago

Kittens and a greek mythology reference ? Just take my upvotes.
