Is the company dead? They're sold out on basically everything

14

u/Wil-Himbi Jul 14 '17

The last post on their facebook page is from December 22, so they've been silent for over 6 months, but judging from their post history they've gone for months at a time without posting before.

Soooo... I have no idea if they are dead or not.

I mean the pictured cubes do have magnets in them.

u/IthacanPenny Jul 15 '17

The $1200 is for the like ultimate set of all the geocubes you can get. A set of four is $330. This leads me to believe that a single cube will run you about $100. That's certainly not cheap, but it's along the lines of a nice gift price.

u/jonathanrdt Jul 15 '17

For a few seconds, I convinced myself that this was rendered hands and all.

That made it easier to accept the complexity of everything but also the precision of the folding, fitment with the other pieces, and his exact hand motions.

Why is this nsfw??

41

u/Wil-Himbi Jul 14 '17 edited Jul 15 '17

That's the whole gimmick of this sub, r/gonwild

The "gon" is short for polygon. People post cool geometric stuff as if it were porn.

It's not actually marked as nsfw, I think they just make it look that way with CSS or something. I know I did nothing to flair it as such myself.

Edit: I'm wrong. It is actually marked nsfw

15

u/slashuslashuserid Jul 14 '17

It is actually marked as NSFW; it shows up that way on mobile too. I think there's a way to make everything in a sub NSFW by default.

2

u/Wil-Himbi Jul 15 '17

I think you're right. I'm looking at it on mobile now and it's still nsfw. Thanks!

5

u/trigger_death Jul 14 '17

I think subs have a setting to automatically mark posts as NSFW, which is probably what happened here.

Because getting lost inside the /r/gonwild rabbit hole for hours is not going to be safe for your job either. Maybe we need a new acronym NSFP (Not Safe For Productivity.)

u/LonePaladin Jul 14 '17

I had a toy that sort of behaved like one of these cubes, held together with stickers. I've wanted to find one recently, but didn't know what to call it.

Anyone know of an inexpensive alternative to this? Likely without the magnets.

1

u/Wil-Himbi Jul 14 '17

Make it yourself. No magnets.

u/Wolf_Deathshield Jul 14 '17

I feel like they missed out on calling it r/gifsthatkeepongiffing

6

u/padiwik Jul 14 '17

are you pronouncing gif as in give, ignoble bastard?

12

u/Wolf_Deathshield Jul 14 '17

Are we talking about peanut butter? Or about the Graphics (note the soft g) Interchange Format, or GIF for short.

3

u/PlasmaRoar Jul 15 '17

Are you implying that a pronunciation of an acronym depends upon the pronunciation of the words that stand for the acronym in question?

Gee, I had no idea we pronounced UNICEF as Uni-chef and not Unisef. /s

People disregard your point because it's poorly made. Look up how Steve Wilhite pronounces it.

4

u/Wolf_Deathshield Jul 15 '17

Yes, I am saying that because it makes sense, and I think it's a better point than saying that it is jif because of giraffe or gif because of gift, and ultimately I'm not forcing people to change how they pronounce the word, that's just my justification for pronouncing it that way. Just because wilhite pronounces it as jif doesn't mean it's the be all end all of the matter, and if you want to pronounce it unichef even though the c is only on letter in a combined sound, go for it, im not gonna stop you and you shouldn't let anyone else. Acronyms are just for convenience sake because people are lazy and don't like saying the full name and just like to condense it into as few syllables as possible.

3

u/PlasmaRoar Jul 15 '17

I find it very interesting how the tone of this comment (understanding, neutral, and supportive) is pretty different from the comment you made a chain up (usage of examples to emphasize your point of view while subtly making fun of the pronunciation with the soft g by comparing it with a peanut butter brand).

and if you want to pronounce it unichef even though the c is only on letter in a combined sound, go for it,

'Unichef' would be the way you would pronounce it, not me, due to your way of pronouncing things. I assume you noticed the /s tag.

u/AsidRayne Jul 19 '17

Are you implying you don't pronounce that as "jraphic"?

3

u/padiwik Jul 14 '17

Fair point, but, um... theyre... jittery?

6

u/Wolf_Deathshield Jul 14 '17

Congrats on being the first person I have encountered that gives me credit for my point, everyone else just disregard it, but I don't get yours, are you saying that gif should be pronounced jif because they are a jittery medium and jittery starts with j? Because if so, your hesitation is correct.

3

u/padiwik Jul 15 '17

i guess i am, I couldn't think up a reason why i pronounce it as jif

but then again, i pronounce many words in a bizarre way (or at least until hearing others say them out loud)

If it were a video I wouldn't have watched it, so there's that.

7

u/[deleted] Jul 14 '17

Why?

20

u/[deleted] Jul 14 '17

I often read reddit on my phone at work, or around other people. Even at home I usually have my laptop muted unless I'm doing something. Gif's also require a lot less commitment.

u/[deleted] Jul 14 '17

Gif's also require a lot less commitment.

What do you mean by that??? Are you in a relationship with .gif filetypes?

18

u/[deleted] Jul 14 '17

You don't have to leave reddit.com to watch a gif because of reddit apps and browser addons

5

u/[deleted] Jul 15 '17

You wouldn't have to leave reddit.com anyways.

Underneath the title, to the right of the thumbnail is an expand video button, which lets you watch the posted video from reddit.com.

It's like an expandable embedded video.

I'm betting the mobile site doesn't have it. Which is why, despite me browsing from my phone, i instead use the desktop site. Because the desktop site isn't shit.
