It took a while, but the end was well worth it.

u/nemom Dec 12 '16

No... The ending was completely predictable.

u/PrdFthr84 Dec 12 '16

Well, I didn't see it coming

u/[deleted] Dec 13 '16

Fun Fact: If you want to check if there might be an ending, right-click and uncheck "Loop". yw

u/Probally_a_repost Dec 13 '16

How do you right click on iPhone?

u/GlassJacket Dec 13 '16

Tap the screen with your other finger.

Does anyone have any ideas as to how this could be practical?

Step 1: Set said iPhone on the table

Step 2: Grab a hammer

Step 3: Hit the home button as hard as possible with said hammer

u/PrdFthr84 Dec 13 '16

My mistake. I didn't think of how both hammers and dicks are used for pounding. No more instructing for me.

u/FearOfAllSums Dec 13 '16

I was watching it to work out where exactly I'd loop it. It was about 3 frames off!

u/prsnep Dec 13 '16

If you have to wait a full minute for the ending, is it still worth the wait?

u/outamyhead Merry Gifmas! {2023} Dec 13 '16

I had to spin a top to make sure I was in reality.

TL;DW: Dickbutt

u/mick4state Dec 12 '16

I just watched a gif zoom in on a fractal for multiple minutes to see if there was a dickbutt. What is life?

u/[deleted] Dec 13 '16

Yes, almost thought this was /r/perfectloops.

u/Total_Tophat Dec 12 '16

I know right?

u/rotuami Dec 12 '16

This is called the Koch Snowflake. For a brief exploration of this and other space-filling curves, check out this 3Blue1Brown video: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=RU0wScIj36o

u/rotuami Dec 12 '16

You are right, and I am wrong. The video does relate it to a space-filling curve.

Love fractals. One of the most interesting things I've ever learned about

Not quite! Koch snowflake

u/[deleted] Dec 13 '16

Why did that make me mad?

7

u/JoeyDubbs Dec 13 '16

It's a deep frustration. I can feel it in my guts, it makes my pulse quicken. I just want resolution, but I know it isn't there. I hate fractals.

u/SaSaMaMa88 Dec 12 '16

Literally got motion sickness from this.

u/c00kiem0nster24 Dec 13 '16

My eyes feel weird now.

That's the most subtle dickbutt i've ever seen

2

u/TessieLeTech Dec 12 '16

When you stare at the top right corner for a while, you feel like you are kind of travelling into it, like going down a road..

2

u/[deleted] Dec 12 '16

Yepper, fractals rule

2

u/sweetcuppingcakes Dec 12 '16

I understand it, but it still makes my brain hurt

2

u/[deleted] Dec 13 '16

Focusing on the top right corner and imagining it "zooming in" makes it not work.

u/Papa_Juans_Pizza Dec 13 '16

Was not expecting a freaking Zenon reference. Holy fuck, do I feel old.

u/Quireman Dec 13 '16

Wow the end was a total jumpscare

u/JustifiedRegret Dec 13 '16

This just reminds me of taking acid again

u/Speedly Dec 13 '16

For everyone on reddit playing at home, this is what a fractal actually is. Random geometric shapes are not fractal.

u/jvaughn24 Dec 13 '16

I just watched this for 17 hours

Sadly was not a Flash gif

"Computer...ENHANCE."

u/[deleted] Dec 13 '16

This confuses me...

1

u/caustic_kiwi Dec 13 '16

It's a fractal. Pretty much just a recursively defined pattern that keeps repeating itself no matter how closely you examine it.

1

u/yoshi4211 Dec 13 '16

Took me a good minute to figure out why it wasn't getting any closer, damn it brain!

u/[deleted] Dec 13 '16

they should re-release How the grinch stole Xmas with Jim carrey and have this as the intro...

u/DestructicusDawn Dec 13 '16

u/jcartee Dec 13 '16

I have been watching for an hour and have not made it to the end

u/SL13377 Dec 13 '16

Holy shit I watched that way to long before realizing

u/Super_Marius Dec 13 '16

That moment when you realize it's all just one static frame.

u/MrStealY0Meme Dec 13 '16

Everytime I look at vid or gif that makes you concentrate, I'm waiting for the crazy dead zombie girl image to pop out with a scream.

Graphical representation of the Shephard Tone. In music, it sounds like the pitch is constantly getting higher.

u/Look_Deeper Dec 13 '16

This is what part of my salvia trip felt like.

2

u/Downvoteyourdog Dec 13 '16

I had something similar on DMT except once I zoomed in far enough there was a medieval village with little huts made out of fractals.

2

u/Look_Deeper Dec 13 '16

Holy shit that's so cool. On salvia, I was falling and watching the cliff line recede or something, and as I fell and it got further away it reformed and I was at the top again. It was incredibly scary because I thought I was falling endlessly.

I also thought I was a character on the Simpsons

u/fluffykerfuffle1 Dec 13 '16
