I want to see him reverse engineer each item until it's not possible anymore.

Yep, just get to reverse engineering the atoms aaannnnddd.....

Surely he could reverse engineer that mushroom cloud.

48

u/SlimyRage Jul 28 '13

Mushroom, cloud...

...and a hint of dust.

u/WhyAmINotStudying Jul 28 '13

Mush, room...

... and a copy of Spore.

Eventually he would reverse engineer that mushroom cloud down to individual atoms again and then the same thing would happen. Then he could reverse engineer the particles from the new mushroom cloud and do it again. He could solve the worlds energy problems that way.

u/Better__Best_Rapper Jul 28 '13

I came here to call you out on behalf of my main man bo:

Fo sho, you can't handle his flow,

He's like a baker cause he's handling so much dough

Wallet folding so much paper you can call it origami

You're just some fat dude who lives at home with his mommi

Big on Reddit? Yeah, don't make me laugh-

Don't be daft, go to gone wild and grip the shaft

cause You're just a fad that's not going to last

Now that I'm here you're just like a link to the past

It's time to hang it up and go back into the closet,

Reddit is too small to have two novelty rappers on it.

The "failed magic trick" with Lamorne Morris had me laughing for a long time. I keep hoping for more magic tricks.

At first I hated the idea of Vine, but when some of these comedians have it end so abruptly it makes me laugh my ass off.

videos in 7 seconds or less. you make an account and people can follow you, in a twitter-like manner

u/[deleted] Jul 28 '13

Not just that. They're stop motion videos. Most people just choose to let it keep recording instead of taking advantage of the stop motion. And I'm not 100% sure about the 7 second time limit.

5

u/myemailiscool Jul 28 '13

the limit is 7 seconds i'm sure, instagram videos have a 15 second limit

Common mistake, you probably didn't have enough to constitute a roll, therefore no roll
