I actually contemplated whether putting my finger on the screen would actually do anything.

[–]Cesar1014 75 points76 points ago

Same here. Was fully expecting a butthole.

[–]Antrikshy 10 points11 points ago

On /r/aww?

Well, it's possible.

[–]LaughingFlame 12 points13 points ago

have you SEEN my butthole?

[–]Antrikshy 5 points6 points ago

No. Pics?

[–]tloftxj 4 points5 points ago

[–]Se7en_Sinner 5 points6 points ago

What has the internet done to you.

[–]Cesar1014 1 point2 points ago

The internet can't take all the credit.

[–]imnotabus 15 points16 points ago

This is how it went down for me:

"Hmm... What's supposed to happen? Nothing's happening"

(GIF IS LOADING)

"Ok fine... moves finger towards screen"

[–]pikindaguy 14 points15 points ago

I was hesitant at first when nothing happened, so I decided, okay let's do it--I thought it'd be one of those illusions where you hide part of the screen and see something else. My timing turned out to be perfect as I fingered it.

[–]White_Luigi 7 points8 points ago

I feel like the initial "put your finger here" part has to be kind of long intentionally in anticipation of people hesitating. Because it was perfect for me too.

[–]Erzaah 1 point2 points ago

Yeah i found it to be perfect for my hesitation too :L

[–]seriousmanda 2 points3 points ago

Yeah, at first I hovered my mouse there... nothing happened. Fuck it no one is home I'll put my finger on the dot. Perfect timing. I was trying to work out in my head how this sorcery could possibly know when my finger was on it. Did it again. Perfect timing again. I was baffled until I saw it do it again on it's own.

[–]ImDaBamBam711 2 points3 points ago

You fingered your screen? Nawwtay

[–]Crazy_G1raffe 3 points4 points ago

i contemplated for a sec and then right as i touched the button/hole the puppy appeared.... and i became frightened that someone was watching me...

[–]worlwidewest 1 point2 points ago

On an iPhone, I fell for this. Twice actually.

[–]DefinitelyADoctor 4 points5 points ago

It was weird because I started to get aroused. I wasn't using my finger though, I was using my penis.

[–]fancytalk 2 points3 points ago

I don't know why, but I held my finger there the whole time.

[–]crazzybabby 1 point2 points ago

I felt like it was a challenge, and I feel as if i have succeeded..or failed miserably..

[–]tj1098 4 points5 points ago

i was like aww cute kitty wait whats that in the backround umm here the skittle says put it back and im like it knows

[–]no_egrets 19 points20 points ago

and then i heard a car drive by and i was like thats a loud car and it was actually a truck and it was driving really slowly and i opened my window and it smelled like garbage so i closed my window and then i had a cookie but the cookie was past its sell by date so i only ate half the cookie and i gave the other half of the cookie to my dog and my dogs big and he ate the cookie but maybe i shouldnt have given my dog the out of date cookie so i called my friend and he said its okay and then i watched the video again but i put my tongue on the screen and then my mom told me not to put my tongue on my computer screen or i will get an eelectric shock but i didnt get an electric shock and the man licked my tongue and i liked it

[–]climb_something 59 points60 points ago

Great. Another fingerprint.

[–]tehjorn 4 points5 points ago

my thoughts exactly

[–]YOU_ARE_A_FUCK 17 points18 points ago

Holy shit, that timed so well I had to do it again to double check... Fuck me.

[–]Mirmenel 0 points1 point ago

And I had to do it again after that because, fuck me, it was right on again

[–]Gbaby27 13 points14 points ago

:( Iphone here. All i got was a white screen with nothing. Then I moved my finger. AWWW

[–]ObliviousAmbiguity 3 points4 points ago

Android here, paused gif and gave "right-click" options.

[–]ra_grand 1 point2 points ago

Nokia here, touched the screen hard, my finger got bruised..

[–]Chonaic17 5 points6 points ago

At exactly the same time as I touched the screen, the gif started. I thought I had just come across something magical.

[–]clashmo 0 points1 point ago

same, the timing was creepy perfect

[–]Hobo4Craft 5 points6 points ago

Repost, disappointed.

[–]Blackmuse 13 points14 points ago

I giggled like a bitch.

[–]Zacca 5 points6 points ago

I think my screen leaks electricity or something, cause I was getting small chocks. I got scared at first though.

Then a puppy appeared.

EDIT: Googled and figured out what it is. I have an old CRT screen, you know the ones with glass? I have my leg on my radiator, and apparantly you get small shocks if you touch a radiator and the screen at the same time. Awesome.

[–]outfoxthefox 7 points8 points ago

| Chocks.

ಠ_ಠ

[–]Zacca 1 point2 points ago

I'M SWEDISH OKAY? :)

[–]outfoxthefox 0 points1 point ago

Well, shit. Now I find you adorable. :/

[–]Zacca 0 points1 point ago

Oh. Well, I'm black as well.

[–]outfoxthefox 0 points1 point ago

[–]Zacca 1 point2 points ago

Why yes, yes I am.

[–]ClassicShmosby 2 points3 points ago

GAHHH MY FINGER! YOU MONSTER.

[–]science87 2 points3 points ago

lmao got me :(

[–]chytri 2 points3 points ago

When I actually did put my finger there, the dog appeared simultaneously. I believed for a second that this gif somehow turned my monitor into a touch screen...

[–]SwanGnBang 2 points3 points ago

AWWWWWWWW.

[–]carpescientia 0 points1 point ago

You made my day. :)

[–]eovogt 0 points1 point ago

All i seen was my finger :( I have really big hands :(

[–]Sparked01 0 points1 point ago

The MONSTER JUST BIT MY FINGER , KILL IT.

[–]hdeck 1 point2 points ago

somehow i did that moments before the puppy got me...like the image knew when to switch...i need to go take a cold shower now...

[–]Woldere 0 points1 point ago

Perfect timing, twice!

[–]SeanTheCyclist 0 points1 point ago

The moment of hesitation is perfectly timed for puppiness.

[–]Rmrichards1385 0 points1 point ago

Watched it first.... To make sure it wasn't a "NOPE!" and then I went awwwwww

[–]Silversilent 0 points1 point ago

I trusted you and I was rewarded

[–]Timmage_1 0 points1 point ago

I didn't put my finger there. Did i miss out?

[–]cmdcharco 0 points1 point ago

RISKY!!!! but was good ending!

[–]imsdalen 0 points1 point ago

I am disappointed. There are no puppies on my finger..

[–]Djorak 0 points1 point ago

I can't not make the sounds when watching this : "Aaarh, nom."

[–]MrsLulzzy 0 points1 point ago

My boyfriend wasn't feeling well, so I sent him this link. The cure for sickness= Cuteness.

[–]Brianosoreass 1 point2 points ago

That scared the shit out of me...being shark week and all, I thought it was a great white....FUCK

[–]planarshift 0 points1 point ago

Actually I was extremely disappointed.

[–]1DirectionSex 1 point2 points ago

[–]idungiteet 0 points1 point ago

[–]Sanity_prevails 1 point2 points ago

[–]Lilchipotle 0 points1 point ago

Was I the only one who thought it was going to be a butthole?

[–]free_ballin10 0 points1 point ago

Spoiler alert: Not a vagina

[–]AdolfTwizzler 1 point2 points ago

I put my cursor on it, as if I thought it was my finger. We have become one.

[–]jcedryo 0 points1 point ago

I CAN FEEL IT

[–]KevyMetal 1 point2 points ago

How long before a goatse version of this appears?

[–]itriedtoquitreddit 0 points1 point ago

Someone make this happen!

[–]hercules69 0 points1 point ago

I put my finger on my iPhone screen. Asked if I wanted to save it. Was that supposed to happen?

[–]rx_8 1 point2 points ago

Did anyone else put their cursor instead by accident?

[–]Kouraazio 0 points1 point ago

I gave you an upvote for displaying an image of a dog.

[–]MakoBoy 0 points1 point ago

The dot is placed too high :( Unless he's supposed to nose-rub you.

[–]questionsplease 0 points1 point ago

So, clicked the link. Was about to put my finger on there then stopped, Hurried up and went to comments to see if this was actually an aww link or one of those "The Ring" links that scare you half to death from something innocent.

[–]MonzieurW 0 points1 point ago

Well I'm sorry but this is how I reacted.

[–]Nonchalant25 0 points1 point ago

Disappointed.

[–]g3allen10 0 points1 point ago

Bad idea while on your phone....

[–]VCSUB 0 points1 point ago

I was.

[–]Stripedsweater 1 point2 points ago

[–]hairysachs 0 points1 point ago

The timing on my poke was perfect. That was fun

[–]washburnee 0 points1 point ago

I thought I was tripping hardcore...I kind of hesitated when asked to put the finger there, it took me a few seconds and decided to do it...as I put it on the screen, that adorable puppy gif came on...actually made me believed that magic happened.

[–]awesomeck 0 points1 point ago

Suddenly, NOM

[–]radewagon 0 points1 point ago

I was disappointed.

[–]aubs9125 0 points1 point ago

I'm disappointed that there are now fingerprints on my computer screen.

Not very "aww..." worthy. :(

[–]DJKoolKeith 0 points1 point ago

I was on my phone and touching the screen makes the gif stop. I was there for hours...

[–]resay5 0 points1 point ago

One of the reasons why I still have some fear of dogs.

[–]ov8chkin 0 points1 point ago

Lol, I imagine others had similarly awesome experiences to mine. First, put my cursor over the thing, when nothing happened, said to myself "all right, I'm actually doing this? He promised I wouldn't be disappointed so GOTTA TRY IT" Timing was perfect

[–]zolar16 0 points1 point ago

Thanks a lot, OP. My two-year-old laughed so hard at this that there's drool all over my laptop. Nice.

[–]spilledmilk9000 0 points1 point ago

i have to admit i had a manly yell of joy when the puppy showed up

[–]LittleShogun -1 points0 points ago

Gotta admit, I was disappointed.

[–]Demilitarizer 1 point2 points ago

Disappointed in "wont'"

[–]mdbx -2 points-1 points ago

[–]Bin4ryB4ndit 0 points1 point ago

The last time I did this, someone had sex with my finger. Was pleasantly suprised.

[–]rahafHA -1 points0 points ago

The dog actually scared me, but then I just Laughed.
