I missed r/place. I wasn't aware it existed until it was too late

[@nixietubes]

I was actually too early, and was so confused and had no idea what it was and forgot about it until it was over.

i got around the timer & had an amazing time. i wish i was there for the hour before it ended

[@nakog8686]

Got around the timer?

[@sophias8382]

i think this only worked for me, but if i had the timer going in one tab, i could infinitely place blocks in another. when the timer on the first ran out, it would work in the second tab & the first would be glitched, & on & on

[@Itscalistarodriguez]

How could you not bring up the Germany France invasion and then them coming together to form the EU flag

[@janbruger9609]

[@danielleday8954]

It’s because it’s a given. That was, like, the 4th time Germany invaded France in modern history.

God bless you for fighting for the osu logo

[@arque1255]

[@seanmunis82]

I helped turn the AMD logo partly green, fought for the American flag, and fought to maintain the CSGO logo. The void attacked when everyone in America was asleep but then we took back over once we woke up.

[@enbymina]

osu! logo**. not OSU, that's Ohio State University.

[@AragornRespecter]

I fought in the Norwegian war. I bravely defended the Texan flag to the last pixel. I will never forgot how the Yogscast offered their undying support. I thank the dwarven army for their help, we will never forget your support.

[@DavrK]

2:28 "Much like Lost, the button didn't mean anything" ...WHAT?! What are you talking about?! The button in Lost did mean A LOT and when they stopped pressing it everything​ went to shit

[@ThomasAndersonbsf]

I think he meant that lost did not mean anything at all, it was just another jacobs ladder as it was all a fevered dream of the main character as he was laying in the sand dying from wounds caused by the crash. and he eventually had to return to that reality as he was about to actually lose brain function and actually die, Not the button itself in lost had no meaning lol. though I could be wrong, you should as the creator to be sure.

[@martypig7308]

DavrK WHY TF IS EVERYBODY SPOILING LOST

[@ZachX888]

Man, that theory is depressing. :/ But yeah, the button WAS important, because even though they _kind of_ said it was useless, it actually kept the energy (or whatever the f*&% the show revolved around) from going critical and destroying the island. Or the world, or some shit. I don't know Lost really needed to be more clear. :L

[@PersonalAccountIndeed]

Thats an interesting take on the events of Lost but its highly unlikely to the canon events.

[@BeardDesignfx]

"Where are the swastikas?" Well, there actually was 3 big swastikas around the top right corner after ~3h of r/place being alive, made mostly by /pol/ (4chan) but the reddit mods deleted them, I think there is still screenshots of them but it was even erased from the official image recordings.

[@Polished_Perspective]

Interestingly no one mentions bots in their coverage of r/place. After the first 24 hours it became fairly evident that there are a lot of bots defending certain parts of it and as time went on and bots got better a lot of the new art was made by bots. It's hard to tell how many bots there were but I would say that without them the black void would be a lot bigger.

[@livanbard]

A bot is still collaborative work, people need to write that.

[@jonamedhatten]

no denying us swedes used a heck of a lot of bots, but as you can se on a closeup timelapse with a timestamp, during Swedish nights the flag was infested with miscoloured dots, and if anyone had made a serious attack on it and used some bots themselves no amount of bots could have stopped it.

[@car-keys]

Did he compare pepe to swastikas and dongmander?

[@flaetsbnort]

Pepe has been more or less adopted by Nazis and white supremacists, much to the chagrin of the guy who created him. The character is actually a kind, goofy and awkward, er, anthropomorphic frog.

[@raaaaaaaaaam496]

flaetsbnort Pepe was a meme because he was such a shitty drawing for Hispanic children to be forced to look at it. Then Hillary Clinton said it was a hate symbol and then right wingers (not Nazis) use all the time in response to the ridiculousness of calling this shitty frog drawing a white supremacist symbol.

[@flaetsbnort]

It was a white supremacist symbol, as it was being used by white supremacists to represent themselves.

[@raaaaaaaaaam496]

flaetsbnort by that logic the ‘dance’ move called the dab is only a symbol for Jake Paul and his Jake Paulette and not anything else. Cause you know, things can’t have multiple meanings and things are as black and white as the holy matriarch Hillary says they are.

[@flaetsbnort]

Things can have multiple meanings, but one of them can eclipse the others, if one of them was used by, for instance, a group that succesfully elected someone as the president of the United States of America. That makes me sad as I, like its creator, prefer its original symbology as a sad and awkward but good-natured frog dude, but for the majority of people that is not what it refers to.

[@chmtech]

[@eaglevirtuesr]

[@godofthecorn3011]

[@RJStockton]

Who do you think did all the swastikas?

[@rod2662]

*read in heavy English accent* As the void of the the 4 Chan faction with it's tens of thousands of men swarming over the land of wonder and dreams, they massacre all that lye in their wake, women, men, children. They took all my loved ones, my friend, my dignity, I was one of the 37 survivors that managed to run far enough, but my efforts meant nothing. I was the last one left, 36 others were killed just like the rest. I expected them to do to me what they did the rest, but no, they felt it would be better to leave me, to let the grief and anguish slowly take my mind away from me. They left me, left me to wear with nothing but a water skin and 2 days of rashions, and so I went I went till I could no further, and I began to walk, walk till my knees collapsed. And there I met my end. Visiting 4chan, not even once

Pokemon Go started off as an April fools joke. When you take the chains off creativity and just have fun, every now and then you get something awesome.... if fleeting.

[@AndroidsDontDance]

King Kasper it literally didn't start as an April fools joke.

[@kingkasper4950]

AndroidsDontDance correct, not literally. Good thing I never made that claim haha. It was based on one. An April fools joke where pokemon spawned on Google maps and u could drive around ant "catch" them. It blew up so Nintendo bought the company who made ingress as it was very similar to what they wanted and boom! The birth of pokemon go! Tho tbh it should have been obvious I wasn't speaking literally but more waxing poetically haha You can't literally chain up a concept such as creativity. ;-)

[@longislandlegoboy]

Pretty sure goat simulator was also an April fools joke

[@ayearxi]

You bring up such a good point. In a way, April Fool's is one of the best holidays out there just because of what amazing things can unintentionally sprout from the jokes

Exactly. You liberals think 4chan is a white supremacist website. Lmao get a life. It is just a fucking frog, a meme for 12 year olds.

@7:10 - What's wrong with Pepe? It's a fucking meme. It was never a hate symbol, the media spun it that way and Anti-Semite/etc groups decided to roll with it. REEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE

[@kepko_]

Kris MTL he was saying that Pepe was such a widespread meme there was sure to be one on r/place

[@thedanhibiki6960]

Why are you upset lol

[@krismtl5581]

For the record, I was just fucking around. In the video, he says "Where's the swastikas? Sure there's a Pepe over there and Charmander's got a big dong but...". He lists Swastikas and Charmander's big dong while in context of making a list of "bad internet-isms", surely he lists Pepe in the middle of them because it's a super popular meme. Not really though, that's not how lists work. #FreePepe2017 #PepeDidNothingWrong

[@sithonis7818]

the pepe meme died because people began to take it as a destructive symbol, due to certain people making pepe memes based on figures such as hitler and stalin. the media labelled it a hate symbol due to this minority

[@patrickwienhoft7987]

"Where are the swasticas?" My theory: Often trolls who want to insert those are alone. There is no open community behind trolling things by addind swasticas. It's more of an underground movement, where no one knows anyone else. Each individual feels like belonging to a movement, but there really is no community. I think anonymity plays a big role. The intent is to be sneaky. To annoy others without them having any clue who did it. This brings a feel of power, as the troll them has complete knowledge of the situation while others don't, hence he's feeling as if he was above them. However on r/place you could only place one pixel every 10 minutes making it impossible for a single person to create anything. And of course here comes the lack of communication in the troll community; there simply is no subreddit where people who would like to put a swastica on place would meet to plan. Such a sub would not make sense because a) anonymity, see above and b) the point of trolling is to do it everywhere, not just on one dedicated sub. This is such a special case, requiring a coordinated attack from groups of trolls, that simply never really existed before.

Man, I remember our Dashie. We defended and held on to that pony with clutches of steel. No one could put a dent in her! She was a pretty significant size relative to those around her, too. We had some pretty good alliances too; most of our neighbors were our allies. My favorite event was the numerous attacks on OSU. While I admittedly was on on the attacking end somewhat, I have to give then kudos for their dedication. The whole thing reminded me of empires, governments, and politics from a historical standpoint.

Right? And what's wrong with Charmander dick?

[@noodleboi6711]

I want to like but it's already at 69

[@clever-username]

I don't like the using the final end picture to refer to /r/place, because it's clearly the result of bots and not organic human coordination. I want to find a timelapse video and screengrab the last human version before the bots took over.

[@fruscho6517]

Ben Dover R/osuplace actually didnt use any Bots! Only a big Discord And many circle clicking RSI weebs.

[@nkitzke]

There were scripts written and widely distributed within hours of r/place coming to life.

[@piratewhoisquiet]

Are you joking dude? Like, by the second day, the majority of pixels were being edited by macro code. I mean, personally I still consider it organic (computers are as natural as leaves, guys, we are part of nature not above it) but it was definitely bots.

[@jamesesw]

Okay but there's white pixel next to your mouth for the entire video and it's very distracting and I'd like to think you did it on purpose.

[@theresamay4280]

James McDohl Now I can't unsee it...

[@tyleralmquist7606]

It came back a few days ago on the 5 year anniversary!

[@GogiRegion]

I was actually thinking about the million dollar home page when I saw this.

[@bristowski]

It's coming back!!

[@jf5482]

This channel still exists?

[@jwardbass4452]

4:24 Ah, I get it. An orchestral arrangement of Paint It Black

[@danielbuenocastillo1292]

music at 5:40?

[@jwardbass4452]

I'm sorry, I have no idea.

[@dreamofyouandi]

I’m Blue- 8 bit remix

[@Skwerll]

I'm blue if I was green I would die, if I was green I would die...

[@dreamofyouandi]

Yeet. :)

[@flametitan100]

Ah yes, I remember r/place. I was part of maintaining the Trans flag, even though it grew well beyond what any of us actually wanted it to.

[@MitchellTheMitch]

Why

[@MitchellTheMitch]

You shoulda joined the r/ainbow dudes and become one with the colors.

[@anaccount7693]

prequelmemes was probably the most fascinating thing to come about, since it was enormous and mostly fine

[@diogenescasares4294]

Hahaha, the Argentine and German flags were the first 🇦🇷🇩🇪

[@Bright_Vision]

No they werent

[@Bright_Vision]

It was charmander dickbutt rainbow road and others

[@FightNChickN]

r/place 2022 update vid coming soon?

[@aoibhinnomahony7712]

The only good one was the Irish flag with up da ra above it

[@BigIronHyland]

michael o'mahony awh stop hahahah

[@ladymilliejean4166]

I kind of wished that it went on for an entire week. Imagine how that would have turned out.

[@AdequateEmily]

As a trans person, the trans flag lasting all the way across the page, defending it, and r/kanye defending it…that was special. It was actually really nice. I mean I started using reddit as a way to help myself meet other trans girls. And this was three months before I would eventually come out, and seeing people on reddit, a community that has…a lot of unfortunate and disgusting issues in the past, defending trans people made me feel happy. And honestly it was an amazing experience for me as an internet user. I figured I might as well share my experience with it. Love the channel. ❤️

[@LyriMetacurl]

pxls.space is the best new one. It has bot protection now and you can place every 2 and a half minutes. The current superpower is the Axis (Prussia, Finland and Ukraine) which established their dominance over the Allies (Green Lattice, OSU, and various things in the top right). The black void is still lurking around (you can see some cracks opening and Aku might be their mascot), and the blue corner is there too but they keep getting stamped out by Austria (which is joined with the Axis).

[@slipsy4139]

pxls.space would be nice if I could actually log in :c

[@Pickolo01]

you can - clear your cookies

[@VIKING-VIKING-VIKING]

7:12 Did he just compare Pepe to the Nazis?

[@griseldacasillas4345]

Stand for the dashie Nathaniel Anthem

[@denimdinofan9]

I wish it could continue

[@californiumblog]

I only today learned of this experiment and I'm completely floored by it. One of the greatest social experiments ever performed with an online population, and I hope someone earned their doctorate for it.

[@smartapix]

I simple man. I see osu!, I click.

[@nelsonstetson3844]

TINY TARDIS!!!

[@BoWebber]

He just spoiled Lost for me...

[@Didgeridoomen]

He clearly didn't watch Lost. It wasn't a spoiler. You'll find out..

[@BoWebber]

Lol, i know. I was just playing. I've seen all 7 seasons.

[@dimaisatree]

It’s started as randomness, then clans formed and started taking over everything, and then majority of them decided to make alliances and stick to what they have

[@evanhort5399]

I think r/places lack of hate shows not that the people on the internet are inherently good but that people on the internet are more willing to come together for love rather than hate

[@Hobbyrepubliken]

You didn't see that many swastikas and such because we coordinated to remove fascist and rascist symbols

[@barahng]

Republiken It's almost like nazis are a fringe group among the right while socialists are mainstream among the left.

[@potatoalpacas6114]

@@barahng both are equally horrible

[@devnol]

0:45 It's not even 8bit lol, 16 colours is 4bit

[@Ducksauce33]

You have too do he will not divide us episode, or kekistan.
