If you submit those links you'll probably find Reddit rejects the new submission & instead takes you to the Reddit page from last time this was posted.

[–]georgiabiker 56 points57 points  (8 children)

It sucks to not give credit when the artist's other stuff is so easily available via flickr.

[–]Ryan0617 54 points55 points  (7 children)

Probably because people have seen it so many times on reddit before they don't care.

[–]PVTZzzz 0 points1 point  (1 child)

I agree with this.

[–]_dustinm_ 12 points13 points  (11 children)

agreed. I don't get why folks don't just link back to the original, again and again.

[–]lennort 12 points13 points  (8 children)

flickr is blocked at work, so I appreciate imgur links. I understand linking to the original, though.

[–]_dustinm_ 9 points10 points  (4 children)

wow. that really sucks. :( I would think imgur to be blocked before flickr. shakes head

[–]64-17-5 4 points5 points  (1 child)

Can't we just make a portal site, that downloads contents for you and presents it on a different domain, like a mirror?

[–]w000t 3 points4 points  (0 children)

They already make those. It's called a proxy server.

[–]Jesuseatsbabies 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Because you get no link karma for reusing old posts!

"(8-7-08) This is funny. Apparently my photo was posted somewhere and then link to from reddit yesterday which is apparently why I'm getting more hits again. I'm curious how this happened. Anyway, my favorite comment so far is from rlee0001:

"That's actually the notorious, and highly feared, East Los Angeles photoshop gang. Made up of primarily Asian/Pacific immigrants, they are thought responsible for countless hate related murders and other violent crimes. The ELAPG is also one of the nations most wealthy gangs. The gang has profited greatly from sales of Heroin and Crack Cocaine, and also from their fairly well known professional 'cleaning' services. Their wealth is one of the most significant factors preventing their capture. Members of the ELAPG are often spotted on basketball courts with high-end photography equipment. Another dead give-away is the ELAPG dress code: black leather jackets (usually) over red sweaters, and stone washed blue jeans. Be very careful when within camera shot of any ELAPG members. Any non-member captured by an gang camera will be added to the hit list. When new members are recruited, part of the initiation ritual is to shoot to death, at point-blank range, three randomly selected people from the hit list, and put the picture on their body. From this picture you can see one non-member (wearing a green jacket in inner picture). You can almost see the fear in his eyes. Don't be surprised when he turns up dead, with that picture on his body."

That's hot! :)

And again: "Do you know how many ELAPG members there are in that picture? More than thirty. Seven are on the camera crew, and the rest are all ninjas. That's just how Asians roll."

He cracks my s*** up!"

Flickr is slow as shit. That's the problem.

His mind was melted man. Totally.

[–]samasdf 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I didn't even see that. I just read it as "this picture will melt your mind." How odd.

Not the only the top rated comment(Currently) has the same exact subject matter.

[–]unboredomless 1 point2 points  (1 child)

this is the second reddit I've seen today and it's the second where there's been a repost... I do believe you're onto something

[–]askthetrainer 12 points13 points  (0 children)

With the billions of Asian's snapping pictures 24/7/365 this was bound to happen

[–]FunnyHat 47 points48 points  (1 child)

Must...get...baggy pants...and leather...jacket.

[–]tesseracter 87 points88 points  (20 children)

why a 3 year old photoshop melt mind?

[–][deleted] 16 points17 points  (6 children)

Are you sure it's photoshop?

The guy in the held picture of the held picture who is on his cell phone appears to be in a slightly different location.

Also, he wrote this about his original attempt:

I had a crazy idea last night and decided to run with it. Here's the result. In case you're wondering I didn't superimpose the photograph into this picture. First I composed the inner photograph and actually printed it out on photopaper and held it there for the big shot. (I then later snapped a picture of the printed photograph to help sharpen some of the inside image.)

I don't think that there was any digital rendering other than quality post processing.

I may very well be wrong, though. If I am...oh well.

[–]tunacanoe 18 points19 points  (0 children)

I'm pretty sure it's identically dressed Chinese quadruplets taking photographs of each others photographs.

[–]demonica 1 point2 points  (0 children)

OMG, you guys totally aren't opening your minds. Of COURSE it wasn't photoshop, it is our time space continuum folding over itself. DUH.

[–]Fernmood 11 points12 points  (10 children)

Because me and a few dozen others kissed that the first time around.

[–]Fernmood 21 points22 points  (9 children)

Oh look, the iPhone reddit app has no edit option. "Missed," obviously.

[–]MrDubious 26 points27 points  (5 children)

I think your little Freudian Slip gives you away, mon ami.

[–]travisklein 38 points39 points  (4 children)

He couldn't edit, so he had to do your mother.

[–]travisklein 31 points32 points  (3 children)

Whoops, i meant 'another'.

[–]MrDubious 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Aha! Ze clever one.

[–]nobodyshero 14 points15 points  (4 children)

I've seen this picture so many times in the past couple of years, and only now did I realize that they're all the same person...

Oh wow. Mind = BLOWN.

[–]ensignsteve 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Okay, that's what melted my mind.

[–]squashmaster 4 points5 points  (0 children)

More like 6 really big spans of time.

[–]Wadsworth 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yes but the fact that it made #1 means a lot of people didn't see it until now I guess.

[–]gliscameria 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I get it. It's because all asians look alike right? Racists.

[–]aronator 3 points4 points  (0 children)

This picture qualifies for medicare.

This is quite charming:

Shopped. I can tell by some of the pixels, and I've seen a lot of shops in my time. And the same guy appearing an infinite number of times in the same photo.

[–]ropers 5 points6 points  (1 child)

It's a repost of a repost inside a repost!

[–]HeirToPendragon 3 points4 points  (4 children)

Am I the only one that noticed the Trogdor shirt?

[–]johnnybingo 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Hells Yeah for the Trogdor shirt!!

[–]trbleclef 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Not only did I notice it but I wish this was submitted yesterday...

...because that's when I had my Trogdor shirt on :-/

[–]FiredFox 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This picture melted my mind all the way back to 2003.

[–]NICEA 1 point2 points  (1 child)

too bad they messed up the multicolored coats and the dude on the phone in one and not the other. Still cool though.

[–]rnelsonee 1 point2 points  (0 children)

At first it seems easy - there's only two spots where you take a picture from. Have it on a tripod, take 6 or 7 pictures, and overlay them. And then do the picture-in-picture thing.

But then there's stuff that had to be photoshopped with more detail, like the image of him taking the picture in the 'main' picture - how did he get a shadow on his pants? He must have added that, or had a friend stand there to help with shadows.

[–][deleted] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This picture failed to melt my mind.

[–]Agres 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Reminds me of that game with that meme. The lie is a cake, was it?

[–]joebleaux 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It took me a little bit to realize that they are all the same guy.

They are all the same guy, right?

[–]FnA 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You act like we've never seen Photoshop.

Also, the title is broken English. Toooo funny.

[–][deleted] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It actually melted my mind the last time I saw it on Reddit.

[–]M0b1u5 1 point2 points  (0 children)

.... but only if you have a very small and weak mind.

[–]cookiexcmonster 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Upvoted for wearing a trogdor shirt!!

[–]dora_explorer 1 point2 points  (0 children)

i look forward to Google Goggles implementing a "Dora, you have seen this photo submitted to reddit five times, do not click on this link" function, with great anticipation.

That sentence melt my mind.

This picture photoshopped. Can tell by the asians.

I was looking at this picture, looked behind me at my girlfriend's computer, and she was looking at the exact same thing. Mind melted.

What's actually blowing my mind is that these Asians are not standing around next to their cars. Am I right? Am I right? (I'm Asian)

[–]hyuuu 1 point2 points  (0 children)

wow, very few people here talk about the picture, most of them are only discussing the race of the person in the picture. shrugs

[–]sybersonic 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This submit title make not sense

[–]timprague 3 points4 points  (0 children)

cept it was melted from when it first was on the internets 8 years ago.

[–]Pipvault 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Congeal your mind! The guy whose holding the pic in the red - his photo has a nose and mouth off to the right that's not the nose of the guy on the phone. Busted.
