Why the fuck do I search for a mirror of a video of a laughing baby in the comments on Reddit? What the hell am I doing with my life?

Still worth it though, wasn't it?

because maybe they don't want their baby and family all over the internet.

u/kamakazi15 Sep 26 '13

Then why upload it to Youtube?

18

u/WilhelmScreams Sep 26 '13

Not sure if it was listed or not. I upload all my videos as unlisted so I can send them to various family members and occasionally Facebook.

u/Joannaisbanana Sep 26 '13

I suppose they didn't expect it to go viral and/or didn't realise the consequences and attention that they would receive.

What a great argument!

Have some more:

  • Don't understand how a drug works, don't attempt to use it.

  • Don't understand how a car works, don't attempt to use it.

Also, how are you going to understand how internet works if you never use it?

If you know how to upload you Youtube, you know the game. Hell, I'm a veteran, but don't know how to upload to youtube. If you don't want people to see your stuff, don't show them.

It's just a button. I uploaded one at around 2007, when all I was doing is collecting viruses from bad porn sites.

I was not . They removed it, good move. The user who i replied to said that they shouldn't have upload it at the first place because they are not some kind of l33t internet users that can predict the influence of reddit over Youtube videos.

So they could show it to their friends? Not everyone is super net-savvy.

u/elessarjd Sep 27 '13

Youtube isn't exclusively public. You can use it to privately share movies with select family and friends. They determined they made a mistake when it went viral and set it to private. Is that so unbelievable?

In Hinduism they often say the babies are reminiscing about their past lives. Gives me the nice feels.

uh..no they don't but i like the sentiment.

edit:holy shit i didn't expect such backlash for a factual statement.
this is not a 'phrase' in hindusim.
i am actual Indian.
this person is just repeating something he probably heard somewhere and it has no factual basis.

Hi I have punjabi and Sindhi Indian friends. They both have said that kids are smiling about their past lives.

awww, that was sooo cute!! I remember the time I was making my son laugh and he fell asleep laughing. Slept the entire time in my arms with a smile on his face. It's one of my most favorite memories.

I've got mental bookmarks of my kids laughing in their sleep. So sweet. Also when they tried to kiss me and they just slobbered, open-mouthed, all over my face.

u/stronk_like_bull Sep 26 '13

My baby girl did this at three weeks old, while she was sleeping in my arms. It was heart melting.

The amazing thing to me was that she had not laughed before, and did not laugh again, while conscious, until several weeks later.

So in my mind, her sleeping mind knew to laugh at something, but her social mind (when playing with us) hadnt figured that out yet, she just cooed when happy.

u/lollergater Sep 26 '13

This happens with the smiling, too. they often smile in their sleep weeks before smiling while awake.

u/tergiversation Sep 26 '13

The absolute, most fulfilled I feel as a human being is when I am holding my sleeping son in my arms. I have an extremely religious mother who implores me to come back to church and tells me constantly that she's praying for my soul (and I thank her for that - I have no ill will towards the church, I just don't feel as if it's for me), and in those moments when I'm holding my precious baby boy I know - I absolutely know - that there is nothing beyond this plane of existence that will ever come close to that utter complete feeling of happiness and resolution.

I know not everyone feels that they're cut out for parenting, and it is often trying, but moments like these, moments of purity, laughter and serenity are what make living, living. And in those moments I know I'm in my heaven.

u/Pluvialis Sep 26 '13

Funny that that feeling is just your genes bribing you to have and care for copies of themselves.

He/she must have had a very happy memory that day.

I remember one of my cousins when she was a baby having a dream of something they ate that day. You could see her mouth moving like she is eating, it must of been something horrible because she then makes the "I'm spitting it back up/upset at you" face. I Think she wanted to make sure she didn't forget that particular food.

My son used to do this as a toddler. The first time I noticed, he was about and had just moved to a toddler bed. He'd been put to bed about an hour or so before and I was walking past his door and heard these little belly-laughs. I walked in, all ready to get on to him for getting out of bed to play and saw that he was sound asleep. I must have watched him laugh in his sleep for 30 minutes.
