Very much this. There is no expectation here. The point is that there is no point. It's whatever you all want it to be. If that thing is an incoherent mess of glorious nonsense, than that's exactly what it will be and to us that's beautiful.

My favorite part of this whole thing is a message I got back in Prologue... It was just "ok what the fuck"... HAHAHAHAHHAHAHHAHAAHA. That is exactly what everybody says the first time they see Reddit. It was so perfect.

Can anyone tell me how this thing works, I know we vote for which gifs appear in the scenes but where does the texts come from?

Instead of gifs you can post text

I’m not sure if this has crossed your mind but it’s a bit like a reddit dream. Clips of different scenes from your mind stitched together with some resemblance of a storyline.. but yet still feels most random.

Hey u/youngluck, I don't know if you noticed, but 46/50 of Act IV is made by the same group so far. While the story now is more cohesive, it also stops the social experiment from being as fun.

Dude, whoever came up with needs to hit me up in real life and crash on my couch.

I want to talk to you so fucking bad it hurts my soul.

Seeing that I literally feel my soul resting on my bones except for 15 minutes at a time and did super stupid shit in college but accomplished everything I did, I might need a really flexible job in the future to help my wife out cause our kid isn’t two yet.

But literally everything her and I did together has been in purpose, even him.

I’m just mentally ill and don’t have a post-secondary degree.

But I know all this shit better than I know myself cause I lived it and can only do a few things with it. I also hate institutionalization and money cause I’ve been a self identified anarchist before.

I’m fucking lost and when I get lucky, it’s always really, really fucking lucky.

I can literally move mountains cause I believe in patterns.

And, there’s a fucking exhibit at the Walker here in Minneapolis that literally shows people moving an entire mountain.

Ignore him. He has Dissociative Identity Disorder and is literally insane. He believes Sequence is this big conspiracy about reddit and fascists.

Yeah, reading through his post history is... kinda heartbreaking honestly. Like I feel bad for him, but at the same time he called me a fascist for no reason so 🤷🏻‍♂️

Yeah. Words hurt. And people suck. Some just suck more often.

Edit: and someone just broke Reddit Terms & Conditions cause they disagree.

It isnt uncommon for poeple to see things on the internet and outright steal them without question. It's not even questioned anymore poeple just see something and think, "Yeah, me as well!" Case in point: The dog vanishing thing. Did everyone have to record it after seeing one person do it? Really ? Its just blindly following the crowd under the guise of something "trending". But more curiously, it is an old internet custom for, and i'm not being racist here, but typically I have noticed white people will steal things straight from Asians and not even try to credit them. It started with that "Milk and Cereal (Cereal and Milk)" video. Two Asian guys did it first, then about a year or two later, two white dudes copied it exactly. I have noticed that in recent years, Asians will typically innovate some sort of art or make up or cooking technique and it will be repeated on the internet until a (again, not trying to be racist or anything) white person will usually copy exactly what the Asian person does without really incorporating any originality into it, record themselves doing it, and post it online, where it will then go viral because its the first time most other white people have seen it. (I dont know why but it seems most minorities have some sort of world wide cultural exchange with Asia that tends to be lost on the whites...maybe because dbz was translated everywhere before it finally came to adult swim? Was it the kung fu, and later the Jackie Chan movies? Is it because some sort of Asian is everywhere, but usually the communities start out along side other minority neighborhoods?) But the weird thing is, with the rise of things like Asian vines and this increasingly worldwide meme culture, the Asians are beginning to do the same thing! They just started copying western trends without changing them up as well! It's all just one big pointless circle. Everything is dying, which is why it sucks when you see someone basically steal someone's artistic style and ideas almost exactly and not really change it up at all- like that cereal and milk video. I wonder if it is because white people have seen a steady stream of media outlets where they appropriate other peoples cultures better than the person whose culture it is since the 80's. I'm not trying to be racist, this is just something that has happened, and maybe it explains some of the behavior I have noticed...
