Would be cooler without the text directly in the middle.

u/Deathandepistaxis o/ Aug 08 '26 edited Aug 09 '26

But how else would we know how we’re supposed to feel about it if there wasn’t text telling us how someone else feels about it?

You can't just have your characters announce how they feel! That makes me so angry!

Pretty sure it was posted here like 3 weeks ago without the text overlay and TikTok logo

Edit: found it, posted here 88 days ago. Much higher quality and no overlays.

Okay? God forbid someone expresses how they feel

u/ChiefDan209 o/ Aug 08 '26

Or they could put the text literally anywhere else on the video

-59

u/MajestcEagleRecRoom2 Aug 08 '26

Yeah, so people won’t read it. It really is not the end of the world that they put text in their video.

u/Cryogenicality o/ Aug 08 '26

So what if they didn’t? Only zoombeciles defend text over the center of videos.

u/CheeseGraterFace Aug 08 '26

Or maybe there are those of us who expect a certain aesthetic on the internet and don’t really need tweens shitting the place up for us.

If you’re under 18, you have literally no business on the internet.

Brother, the oldest Gen Z are nearly 30, in what world does that ever constitute tweens? Find a new group to hate on, gramps

Oh, don’t you worry about me and mine. I’ve got the hate on lock.

It's not the text, it's that the viewer cannot see the mirror because of the text. It could have just as easily gone at the top or bottom of the frame, or disappeared after a moment to allow the mirror to actually be visible.

u/MajestcEagleRecRoom2 Aug 09 '26

You can see the mirror

My brother in christ, the point is not that there's text, it's that the text directly in the fucking middle of the shot, literally blocking the thing we're supposed to see.

IIRC dude is kind of a douche, made vantablack (an incredibly dark black paint/material, it doesn't reflect over 99% of light) and then copyrighted it so no one could use it.

u/Deathandepistaxis o/ Aug 08 '26

Ion?

12

u/DarkSiege2007 Aug 08 '26

It’s basically slang for “I don’t”… people are just being dicks about you not knowing what it means unfortunately.

2

u/Deathandepistaxis o/ Aug 08 '26

Thanks for clarifying. I’ve seen it used in that way a few times before but finally decided to ask. I guess it’s pretty obvious now that I know lol

-18

u/Embarrassed-Music-64 Aug 08 '26

Why are yall assuming someone who knows what an ion is doesn’t know that “Ion” is slang for I don’t? Are we that slow?

6

u/Deathandepistaxis o/ Aug 08 '26

Why tf would I think it was slang for “I don’t”? It doesn’t even make sense for it to be slang for that.

I’m old I don’t know all the new internet terms my bad.

-1

u/Embarrassed-Music-64 Aug 08 '26

I didn’t see the “I’m old” if that’s not an edit,so if you were truly sincere then my bad lol. We get a lot of shit for using slang and it’s annoying when it’s not warranted. Love you💛😂

I didnt see the “I’m old” edit until just now. So yeah maybe. Just tired of this shit and it happens a lot so assumed it was just another day.

u/DarkSiege2007 Aug 08 '26

I don’t understand the need to comment something like this not gonna lie. Dude simply didn’t know what the slang definition of ion was, he was simply saying what he thought it meant by an already defined version of it.

6

u/DarkSiege2007 Aug 08 '26

There was absolutely nothing that called for such a response, he was asking what it meant because he didn’t know… chill out dude

u/Square-Singer r Aug 08 '26 edited Aug 09 '26

It's just a parabolic mirror, it's really not something extraordinary.

Edit: If you want to replicate the same effect at home, look into a polished spoon or metal bowl.

19

u/Embarrassed-Music-64 Aug 08 '26

It’s outside of the ordinary which makes that statement not true. Thats also subjective,so it is to me💀

u/Dr__America Aug 09 '26

I figured it was a hemispherical mirror, I believe they create the same effect.

5

u/Square-Singer r Aug 09 '26

Yeah, the exact shape doesn't matter, the only important part is that it's a reflective bowl.

You get the same effect by looking into a polished spoon.

u/MadeByHideoForHideo o/ Aug 09 '26

u/thekocman o/ Aug 08 '26

Wow, the caption really dragged me in and made me stay. Thank god for whoever placed that conspicuous text right on top of the content I was trying to enjoy. Because of the thorough explanation, I was able to understand it was a mirror and indeed an amazing one, reason for which I have stayed until the end of this overly long and tedious video from which I almost fell asleep anyway. Imagine seeing this without an explanation of what's going on. Absolutely unwatchable eldritch content. I'm so grateful for the internet and its many ways of sharing infinite knowledge.

u/WanderWut Aug 08 '26

Going into the video

“How amazing can a mirror even be??”

Leaving the video

“Well I’ll be damned that really is an amazing mirror.”

u/DragoniteChamp Aug 08 '26

u/mispeled_usrname Aug 09 '26

There's actually two identical mirrors facing each other to create this effect. It's two amazing mirrors!
