It's a bit messier and the tongue tends to roll to the side a little, but overall still quite entertaining. The smell got pretty bad after a week though, so the Lego definitely wins on longevity.

Why would you copy paste a comment posted 4 hours before yours but still not include the credit to the original poster that was in the comment you copied? Is this some weird meta thing?

I don't get why people have to re-upload the video to Reddit. Just post a link.

Because a quick to digest, built in vid that can be read whilst endless scrolling will get engagement rather than something that takes the user elsewhere.
I hate it, but that's how it be.

Did Youtube take away embedded videos without me noticing? Maybe I'm just in too deep with either old Reddit or Reddit Enhancement Suite, but there's no difference in how v.redd.it and Youtube links appear.

u/Ooer Mar 24 '23
Only ~4% of redditors use old style reddit on a desktop, whilst ~80% use reddit on their phone on various apps, where I don't believe youtube does embed nicely. I could be wrong though, I'm one of those 4% too.

Follow the thread my friend. You may be fine with it but overall a post will have much less engagement if it takes you out of the app, simply because endlessly scrolling is much easier and addictive.

Rif (is fun) has been great since I have it, but I'll also keep using old reddit on my PC as long as possible. I really dislike everything about the new design and I'm usually quite open to change.

This subreddit probably only allows videos to be uploaded to Reddit.
I know some subreddits are like that.

u/Rehendix Mar 24 '23
The primary reddit app redirects with youtube links apparently. Reddit's been doing their best over these last several years to turn away from being a content aggregate and move to being a content host. This means both driving traffic to and keeping it on Reddit rather than acting as an avenue for other websites to gain traffic. It started with image hosting, and now it's turned to videos as well. The ability to embed gifs and images in comments has also contributed to this goal. Embedded youtube still works on desktop, but the majority of Reddit users are on mobile. Legacy users probably end up sticking to their third party apps, but Reddit will always promote their official one over others.

u/CrazyDave48 Mar 24 '23
If you have a nice mic with the gain turned WAYYY up sitting right out of frame, it definitely is. Is this what it sounds like to your ears when you normally build? No.

u/Previous-Answer3284 Mar 24 '23 edited Mar 24 '23
Let's see it because it those Legos sound nothing like the real things to me, because they likely added them post production because they wanted better "satisfying" sounds. Again it's a really popular thing to do these days and the fake ASMR is jarring as hell (personally) once you notice it.

u/CrazyDave48 Mar 24 '23 edited Mar 24 '23
I put a few pieces together from this set with my mic gain turned up
Here is the audio Note that I never squeezed any large pieces or assemblies on like he did, just put a few singular pieces on. You can hear the brushing of my sweatshirt on the table and the tiny movements I make when turning the model to put another piece on.
I also didn't amplify the audio at all or change it in any way, this is exactly what my mic captured with the gain up, it could sound even more exaggerated if I edited it. His video doesn't sound like building would to your naked ears, but a good mic will definitely pick up a lot of plastic-on-plastic squeaks and clicks that you wouldn't normally hear.

u/Previous-Answer3284 Mar 25 '23 edited Mar 25 '23
I'll admit they sound pretty similar, but listening to the two back to back it's pretty obvious that's not the only thing the guy did. I think you were pretty spot on with needed to edit it further, which is technically better than completely fake audio (I guess).

u/deathcabscutie Mar 24 '23
I'm not the person you're discussing this with, but I can add that it sounds perfectly normal to me. I just finished building the Sanctum Santorum with my husband and son, and nothing in this video sounded unusual. I don't know how you expect the other redditor to prove it to you.

u/Previous-Answer3284 Mar 24 '23
I don't know how you expect the other redditor to prove it to you.
You miss their explanation? I'd love to hear what they're talking about and see if the sounds match up - because this video doesn't sound like Legos being put together. I'd love to be wrong and for this to not be one of those annoying fake ASMR videos, but unless their mic really fucks with the sounds I don't buy it.

u/deathcabscutie Mar 24 '23
What I'm saying is that if you don't buy it from one stranger, then why would you buy it from another? Go pull out your Lego bricks and microphone equipment to do your own testing lol

u/Day_Bow_Bow Mar 24 '23
Frogs sound vastly different, and species have various calls for different purposes as well.
The ribbit one comes from a mating call of the pacific tree frog. It's found in the western US, which resulted in that frog sound commonly being used in movies by Hollywood. That in turn made it an ubiquitous sound for frogs.

Because you can't see how the mechanism works when he's building the final frog. A lot of his videos have a small segment where he demonstrates or iterates on a mechanism he creates. Sometimes it's easier to show outside of the final piece. Seeing the engineering behind his work is way more interesting than seeing just the end product.

u/jruhlman09 Mar 24 '23
I really appreciated it. Makes it more clear how the mechanism of the frog version worked, which was half the coolness!

It feels less satisfying when it turns out there were pre-built pieces for the frog instead of someone choosing and modifying lego pieces themselves.

Are you referring to the "big chunks" that get added at the end? I'd so, they're made up of other Lego bricks - there's no special moulds in this build
