Here's my support link in case you'd like your name in the credits and to help me keep making videos regularly. Assuming things stay steady, I'll be able to keep this up until like... August maybe? Provided I don't have any Unexpected Major Life Expenses™. With your support I can keep going past that point: ko-fi.com/elliespectacular Also this video takes place immediately after the Blip.

🎶Eye of The Cups Lyrics🎶 Rising up Rising up! Did my time, took my time They stack the cups Do we take to the mat? Oh the man, with the skill to stack up So many times, my time’s too fast Had the cups, got the glory Don’t lose your grip On the cups, on the mat You must fight just to keep them up It’s the eye of the cups It’s the thrill of the stack Rising up to the challenge of our rival And the last known stacker stacks his cup in the night And he’s watching us all with the eeeeeeeeeye

[@MTidusT]

No wonder her cups don’t work, they have holes in them

[@audiodood]

duuh

[@ThePiquedPigeon]

Those hole are actually functional to the sport: plastic cups for competitive stacking have that hole to let air escape from inside the cup. Otherwise, when you put the cups one into the other, air would get trapped in them (or, the nestled cups without air in them will tend to stick together), slowing down the cups and thus making you lose time. Needless to say, these cups are not meant to be used for drinking or holding liquids or other stuff inside them anyway.

[@TheGreatsagegoku]

Imagine:Years in the future. You've lived a good life, medical technology has kept you alive for years longer than you ever expected, but with several organs failing its obvious your time is near. You lay in your death bed, weeping family holographically projected around your room. "Its alright" you say " I've had such a good life, even now my mind is full of wonderful memories. I love you all. " and then you drift away. You see a dim light in the black and approach, the light widens and envelopes you as you leave a tunnel and step onto a bright path winding upward. You walk for what seems like forever and at the top an angel stands before the gates of your heaven, welcoming you. You exchange a greeting, all the while the being looking to you expectantly. "So..." you look back unsure how to proceed. "You may now recite the password." It replies. "Password, what password?" You say wrinkling your brain. "Didn't you see that Dathings1 video about stacking cups all those years ago? The password at the end of it, you remember, don't you?"
