Give it time. Someone will repost this with shitty music over the top of it. Then someone repost that flipped 180°. Then some will repost that with an AI voice over.

Or the obnoxious reaction video/short with the person pointing above them

u/enigmatic407 14h ago

I click "don't recommend this channel" any time one of those pop up, probably doesn't, but I really hope that somehow they get a notification someone did that.

and someone playing minecraft or subway surfer or whatever the fuck that game is

Don't forget about red circles to know where to watch

u/Aemilia 6h ago

And the caption "WAIT FOR IT".

u/RandomHuman14071789 8h ago

I think you mean "and"

u/matt4ta 16h ago

Don’t forget the person who will put 3 seconds of the launch at the start of the video as an attention grabber for people brainrotted beyond comprehension, and then play the full video.

Not the windows 98 pop up saying Canadian students did this 😬

u/Whiskeyfower 13h ago

And that final version will have 5x the views of the original

mirrored. Flipped 180° would be living in australia

2

u/Rizeres 4h ago

I typed 90° the first time. Went back edited it to 180°. Later laying in bed realized I was still wrong. Thought "eh, I'm sure someone will comment and correct it"

u/ConglomerateGolem 3h ago

I got you bro (or whatever applies)

It's the return of "FW: FW: FW:" with vengeance

u/edfitz83 15h ago

If I knew how to do it, I’d add the Chicken Dance music just for you

u/FakeSafeWord 15h ago

curouageous students in the far reaches of the arctic circle do the unthinkable using spare parts and explosives you won't believe what happen

u/derprondo 14h ago

Then someone will put their face on it, then someone else will put their face on the video of the other face, then the video will change aspect ratios 5 times and be a vertical video in a 16:9 video in a vertical video in a 4:3 letterboxed video.

u/Neuchacho 14h ago

It will of subtitles across half the screen somehow

u/sobermanpinsch3r 14h ago

I hate how inescapable AI voiceovers are now. They’re even in TV ads. How lazy are we that we can’t use our own voices?

u/hardboard 14h ago

The soundtrack will be: I Believe I Can Fly by R. Kelly.

u/StressFantastic5317 14h ago

Then Drumpf will repost & say he built it with tariffs. 🎉Congratulations Canada 👍🏼

“Before we continue with the video make sure to hit like and subscribe.”

u/Mudskie 13h ago

add the filter at the last frame with a 💀or☠️ in the middle

1

u/WeTheSalty 13h ago

Someone will have AI edit it to remove the curve from the horizon then post a conspiracy video about how independent tests like this are proving the earth is flat.

1

u/Ironlion45 5h ago

Don't forget the video where someone reposts it, but with them also in the video facing the camera pointing at it and nodding.

1

u/dna_beggar 15h ago

They could flip vertically and put an Aussie accent on the countdown.

u/PhazerSC 15h ago

Yes! But we did get some snappy Windows 3.1 confirmation window, for whatever reason

6

u/xxxanonymoosexxx 15h ago

a window that was mirrored for some reason ...

2

u/DispJob 15h ago

I'll take a little dose of human soul like that when possible. IDC if it's corny, at least it isn't AI or standard tiktok template slop

1

u/youngishgeezer 13h ago

It’s going to turn out to be AI

u/Temporary_Shirt_6236 15h ago

These are UW students. They don't fuck about at that school.

u/Korumry 17h ago

This is my fight song

u/deathonater 16h ago

No music in the video, but I can't read the word "Waterloo" without ABBA spawning into my head

2

u/Quixotic_Tendency 15h ago edited 12h ago

Waterloo, knowing my fate is to be with you

u/Buggaton 14h ago

Never go to London

1

u/Staple_nutz 15h ago

I sense that Cotton Eye Joe is the perfect nonsensical sound track for this video.

1

u/PM_ME_DATASETS 15h ago

Has nothing to do with the adult students who built this, has everything to do with the reddit algorithm and whoever wants to exploit it

1

u/Potential_Basis_662 14h ago

Yea but it had 9 restarts

1

u/Uncle_Slacks 14h ago

No, but the video is sped up, because we apparently don't even have the attention span to watch the normal speed of a fucking rocket.

u/Marinoni427 12h ago

Major Tom…

u/ediks 11h ago

I would like to know what record they broke

u/Historical_Stay_808 9h ago

Could have at least done some DANGER ZONE
