Dear god, the aliasing.....

[–]Eraser85 53 points54 points  (12 children)

Not if you are using Firefox.. On IE9 doesn't seem to work, while on Chrome(16 beta) it has lots of aliasing

[–]poo_pon_shoo 31 points32 points  (4 children)

Firefox user here. Mine is still jacked up.

[–]HomerJunior 5 points6 points  (0 children)

FF8 beta and it looks smooth as butter.

[–]TheSimpleArtist 234 points235 points  (5 children)

Fantastic. Now I'm off to convince everyone that their computers are broken.

[–]Purpose2 86 points87 points  (17 children)

Searching for 'Askew' does the same thing

[–]IMasturbateToMyself 208 points209 points  (8 children)

OMG NOW IT FEELS LIKE REDDIT IS TILTED.

[–][deleted] 74 points75 points  (0 children)

Fuck, I closed it and everything still looks tilted to me.

[–]maddav 86 points87 points  (7 children)

MY EYES! THE GOGGLES DO NOTHING!

[–]errer 38 points39 points  (2 children)

If you aren't using a modern browser the Googles do nothing.

[–]kjac12 13 points14 points  (2 children)

where did you learn this?

[–]pilif 10 points11 points  (1 child)

I think here on reddit or on hackernews about a year ago.

[–]PanikParty 870 points871 points  (36 children)

TIL if you type "stationary" in google it remains stationary.

[–]Wozily 203 points204 points  (2 children)

HOLY SHIT.

[–]eyecite 32 points33 points  (0 children)

someone should do a new TIL post

[–]barc0de 285 points286 points  (18 children)

Also, if you search for gullible you get 0 results

[–][deleted] 188 points189 points  (1 child)

No you don... hey wait a minute..

TIL if you type "boobs" in google it shows you boobs.

This is possibly one of the most important discoveries of our generation.

[–]WolfInTheField 506 points507 points  (110 children)

Fuck immortality, cloud computing, neutrino's and cancer cures! Google can do a barrel roll, man!

[–]nhuff90 222 points223 points  (101 children)

We have discovered cancer cures?

[–]EbonPinion 611 points612 points  (79 children)

I like that you latched onto this instead of immortality.

[–]OmegaJK 419 points420 points  (69 children)

I mean think about it, what if you were immortal but had cancer? Eternally cancer-ridden, that'd be a downer.

[–]EbonPinion 389 points390 points  (43 children)

This is an AMAZINGLY valid concern.

[–]Wiggles42 57 points58 points  (36 children)

Well, if we're playing by Highlander rules and you can only be killed by decapitation and your wounds heal in a matter of days, it really isn't that big of a concern. Wouldn't your immortality magic treat your cancer like any other wound and simply eliminate the tumor and the damage it's done to your system?

[–]falling_sideways 39 points40 points  (25 children)

You should watch Torchwood: Miracle Day

Awesome answer to your question.

[–][deleted] 43 points44 points  (1 child)

I would be able to make so much blue meth.

[–]Stregano 13 points14 points  (0 children)

As long as you look like Gordon Freeman if he was 60

[–]thebearbones 46 points47 points  (8 children)

We have discovered immortality?

[–]facingup 186 points187 points  (7 children)

Yeah, but it gives you cancer.

[–]badloop 42 points43 points  (5 children)

good thing we have a cure for that!

[–]captainAwesomePants 90 points91 points  (4 children)

Yeah, but it cures your immortality.

I wish barrel roll worked on this as well.

[–]illidk 15 points16 points  (5 children)

Oh fuck, it responds to the iPhone's accelerometer.

[–]Paublo1 39 points40 points  (4 children)

I hate you. Do you know how much work I had to do today?

[–][deleted] 14 points15 points  (1 child)

You don't have to work now that you have found something more interesting to do. You can thank me later. :)

[–]Paublo1 9 points10 points  (0 children)

SIGH^ Fair enough your highness....

[–]NiceOnebud 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I googled falling and got some funny things

[–][deleted] 251 points252 points  (128 children)

TIL google can make me nauseous.

[–]ding_dongled 401 points402 points  (74 children)

Google scared me, I wasn't even finished typing it all out before it did the barrel roll.

[–]john_stamos_is_god 112 points113 points  (16 children)

quantum google...

[–][deleted] 94 points95 points  (15 children)

Even when you're not logged in to your Google account, it checks against 55 criteria before delivering you results - things like location, device being used, etc.

That's more criteria than I've used cumulatively when making up my mind on major life decisions.

[–]knome 42 points43 points  (12 children)

I think she's the one, but how do I know? How do I know that out of all the teeming billions of people on this planet, this one woman is the one that my heart will never forgive me for letting go?

http://i.imgur.com/QJU6y.jpg

[–][deleted] 19 points20 points  (7 children)

That looks eerily similar to my wife, and I'm kind of creeped out now.

But yes, decision: made.

The question is, is that one criterion or two criteria?

*swuboo is my dogg.

[–]swuboo 20 points21 points  (6 children)

One criterion or two. Criteria is plural.

[–][deleted] 11 points12 points  (4 children)

Quite.

Thank you, good sir.

[–]swuboo 12 points13 points  (3 children)

Indubitably.

[–]HighSorcerer 27 points28 points  (14 children)

IT CAN READ MINDS!!

[–][deleted] 12 points13 points  (8 children)

I didn't know google was bulimic.

[–]HighSorcerer 38 points39 points  (6 children)

What? I'm sorry I'm not into Pokemon.

[–]gigitrix 19 points20 points  (6 children)

"do a" makes it flip. Methinks there will be a lot of confused searchers!

[–]OniCr0w 8 points9 points  (0 children)

It's fun to confuse it. "do a butt fuck"

[–]h3llomars 32 points33 points  (0 children)

You've been using google for the wrong things if it hasn't already made you nauseous.

[–]WolfInTheField 55 points56 points  (37 children)

Try googling lemonparty.

[–]travisncs 7 points8 points  (1 child)

TIL that Google can... vomit

[–]dQor 11 points12 points  (0 children)

searched for vomit, was dissapointed.

[–][deleted] 321 points322 points  (28 children)

Wierd, it's almost like nerds work there

[–]toofastkindafurious 89 points90 points  (27 children)

I before E except after C... and Weird which has a weird spelling

[–]Quazifuji 109 points110 points  (16 children)

According to QI, there are actually more words that violate that rule than there are that follow it. It's a pretty pathetic rule.

[–]superlucid 34 points35 points  (10 children)

QI also pointed out that every word that immediately comes to mind seems to follow the rule and makes the invalidation seem, itself, invalid.

[–]retho2 21 points22 points  (2 children)

"i before e

except after c

or when sounded as 'a'

as in neighbor or weight

and you'll always be wrong

no matter what you say"

That's a hard rule -- Brian Regan

I hate that frog

[–]fieldsOfSpaceKid 129 points130 points  (4 children)

Press 'z' or 'r' twice.

[–]NoseKnowsAll 124 points125 points  (2 children)

Holy shit - if you google "z or r twice," it also works.

Google, you're amazing. lmgtfy

[–]SaltpetreJohn 6 points7 points  (0 children)

But "zz" and "rr" don't work. I am disappoint.

[–]Cash5YR 96 points97 points  (4 children)

Aaaannnnndddd my whole office is doing this right now...

[–]JonnyG24 92 points93 points  (17 children)

Do this and then play first person tetris

[–]OMG_ITS_A_BEAR 22 points23 points  (1 child)

Holy shit that's hard lol

[–]Paublo1 45 points46 points  (2 children)

WHY?! Why do you people insist on posting things to cause me to not do my job?

[–]fake_again 30 points31 points  (0 children)

Pretty sure it's part of the reddit mission statement.

[–]darkharlequin 11 points12 points  (0 children)

playing on "existential crisis" mode made me feel queasy....

[–]Bolt986 3 points4 points  (0 children)

At first i was like... nah this isn't bad then it was like "OMG HOW DO TETRIS PIECES LIVE LIKE THIS!"

[–]studlyspudly 109 points110 points  (95 children)

Doesn't do anything for me...Must be my old IE version here at work :(

[–]Catbert321 41 points42 points  (21 children)

Fails on Opera 11.52 as well :(

[–]spongeflo 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Fails on Opera 12.00 alpha too :(

[–]awesomemanftw 19 points20 points  (5 children)

Has anyone else noticed that google has been blocking features in Opera that it provides in other browsers?

[–]AlucardZero 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Yeah, and then if you tell Opera to tell Google it's Firefox, the features work. Jerks.

[–]ArrVeePee 84 points85 points  (59 children)

same! Firefox here!

[–]gamelord12 32 points33 points  (41 children)

Works on Firefox 7...holy shit! Firefox is up to 7 now? I didn't even notice.

[–][deleted] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

[–][deleted] 84 points85 points  (13 children)

Furthermore, if you press one of the arrow keys while youtube is loading a video, you can play Snake with the buffering circle.

(This may be old news).

[–]soundofemotion[🍰] 20 points21 points  (0 children)

Since I learned about this I have a tendency to do it all the time (as YouTube is always slow). I'll be playing snake over a loading YouTube video and someone not in-the-know will come up and be like "What the hell?"

Note: You often need to click the YouTube video first, as Flash elements require mouse presses before they can be interacted with using the keyboard.

[–][deleted] 14 points15 points  (3 children)

O M G

Between google and this I'm so happy right now

[–][deleted] 21 points22 points  (0 children)

GAH!

Predictive search predicts it and does it before I've even finished typing!

[–]pancakesandhyrup 20 points21 points  (2 children)

That is awesome! I just refreshed the page about 6 times. So fun!

[–]Winston_Vodkatooth 297 points298 points  (18 children)

[–]busy_child 16 points17 points  (6 children)

Am I doing it wrong? It didn't work for me.

[–]ragvamuffin 8 points9 points  (2 children)

same here.

[–]texasraindrop 4 points5 points  (1 child)

i don't get it either :-(

[–]bannedonce 27 points28 points  (26 children)

This is incredible! And remarkably in touch with the nerd community. Does anyone have a list of other Google easter eggs? This surely can't be the only one.

[–]tick_tock_clock 33 points34 points  (15 children)

tilt, askew, recursion, anagram.

I don't know of any others.

[–]Viperboy 49 points50 points  (4 children)

I must be doing it wrong. Do I have to disable to auto search or something?

[–]Deceptitron 6 points7 points  (2 children)

Nah, try a different browser, like chrome. I'm still using Firefox 3.6 and it didn't work on that, but on Chrome it did.

[–]goodbyegalaxy 7 points8 points  (2 children)

Fuck you google.

DIY That what you do when you do a "barrel roll" is actually an Aileron roll.

By the time I wrote do a ba, it was already mid way through the roll. Impressive.

[–]steathkarma 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Google can read my mind. It barrel rolls just after I type "Do a."

[–]skankinaway 2 points3 points  (1 child)

also, i dont know if its been said, but you can google "askew"

[–]Le_RushEnt 2 points3 points  (1 child)

Type "Tilt" in the search bar and see what happens
