You can't even say that it was out of laziness, considering he wasted an afternoon (or longer) using his technology and skills in mathematics to create an objectively perfect level that breaks the fragile human psyche to experience just to prove Morty's ineptitude.

Its so weird hearing them swear, Im used to it being bleeped

“You’re drunk” i feel really bad for Morty here

[@iamchaoscontrolfreak3594]

I don't think he's drunk in this, just in a bad mood

[@rogacz25]

First clip I've ever seen of this show and it is pure genius. I gotta watch this show!

[@c-hak7697]

As a CNC machinist I relate to rick way to much in this...

[@evangorski7992]

Rick at the beginning is how I feel working with my dad on AV installs after training as a machinist and keeping tolerances within 0.003” and 0.1 degrees while he uses a measuring tape and a bubble, what works works, just seems like it shouldn’t now that I know better lmao

[@babler11]

I love how at first Morty is about to sarcastically pretend how amazing it is before he starts genuinely moaning orgasmically.

[@Clepto_and_Co]

This reminds me of the King of the Hill episode where Hank discovers this high quality local grocery store. When they try the food peggy says something like "if this is food, what have we been eating this whole time?" Then at the end when the store is bought out by the mega corporation and is replaced by the same generic stuff they just eat quietly in sadness

[@metalsage5135]

These surfaces do exist and they’re called inspection tables. They’re basically perfectly level and flat granite tables used for precision measuring. We’re talking flat within a few ten-thousandths of an inch (depending on grade) and can be leveled (with a bubble but a very fancy one at that) to the same degree. I have yet to stand on one though 🤔

[@metalsage5135]

@@travismaguire1349 I'm a machinist and have used one back in school. I haven't been the same since then...

Rick: Has Morty bull a shelf for him Also Rick: spends hours making True Level to show you Morty up instead of Building a shelf himself Rick Sanchez, the grandpa we wish we had

[@lauren8135]

All that effort and they didn’t even end up putting up the shelf.

[@LinkedInConsultant]

The craziest thing to me is that Rick already knows what it's like to experience true level, and yet still managed to go on living with normal reality. He spared Morty the pain of remembering the experience of being ripped out of true perfection- but Rick has the strength to live with it. He remembers it and carries it with him. He was not spared... Keep in mind, Rick likely discovered true level on his own, and thus had no one to gift him the ability to forget it. He also probably didn't have anyone to comfort him the way he did Morty. He had to go work that horrible progression all on his own...

[@turbo8628]

Or rick too had his memory wiped, but knows why it was wiped?

[@Kali-bs7oj]

@@turbo8628I think the original comment is more likely to be correct. Remember the cat episode, where Jerry and Rick saw something so horrible, but Rick elected to remember it? It seems like Rick would generally decide to remember harmful things

[@turbo8628]

@@Kali-bs7oj idk, in this episode rick also has his own memories that he wiped

[@Kali-bs7oj]

@@turbo8628 I don’t remember that, when was it?

[@turbo8628]

@@Kali-bs7oj in the episode where they start going through deleted memories. Not really watched that much rick and morty tbh. Maybe i am getting confused and it was morty's memories that were deleted cos they were embarassing for rick.

[@SHMIDTEY]

I recently went on a camping trip where the entire campsite was on a slight slope and just slightly off level and I was constantly annoyed at always feeling like I was about to fall over. I feel your pain morty

[@White_Line_Warrior_350z]

I love how for just a second morty is being sarcastic like oh WoOow. And then really just fricking loves it.

[@millzimatt]

The fact that Rick expected morty to make a level surface with such accuracy may imply that Rick believes Morty is a genius or capable.

[@kompandach6766]

I just realized that Rick isn’t drunk during this despite what Morty said

[@lilshorn9404]

You know that's the truest level when it makes you question everything and hate reality.

[@JoeFanik]

Rick pulled a Flowers for Algernon on Morty and it’s hilarious

[@iamchrispaezjr]

This one scene is really implying that reality is so imperfect, if it were actually perfect, it would drive us insane…. Interesting. Wonder if that’s why cosmic horrors drive human beings insane and than instant death.

[@wd3185]

Rick: Smartest man in the universe. Also Rick: Confuses "precision" with "accuracy."

[@_P2M_]

He didn't confuse it. Using a level with a bubble and eyeballing it is not a precise measurement. It is accurate, but not precise.

[@user-tg4we4mz3v]

Great show. Last negotiations, $ killed it.

[@williamgabriel2245]

I was on my Watch later playlist watching a creppy video from baphomen-kun, and when it ended, this one started, and it just feels like it was one of Morty's memories.

[@SentientSandbox]

“Lambs to the cosmic slaughter” gets me every time.
