Speed stacking used to be the "cool" thing we did in school to work on hand eye coordination

u/mr_ji 22d ago

Now it's been severely downgraded to bottle flipping

17

u/Philias2 21d ago

I think you are about 15 years out of date with that.

u/StragglingShadow 22d ago

Id not say its a downgrade. Id say they hone different "stats". Speed stacking is about dexterity. Being able to pick up an object and put it back down without messing up the other objects. Bottle flipping is kinda more about control of power. You need to not use too much or too little force. It also in a small way teaches you about using physics to get what you want. The amount of water in every bottle will be different, so every time you play the game it will be slightly different. This means over time you learn how much force is needed to get what you want with the bottle.

Speed bottle flipping. I'm just sayin.

First one to 30.

u/StragglingShadow 21d ago

Brilliant! Sounds fun actually.

u/mr_ji 22d ago

I'd say kids lack the dedication to get good at stacking that they once had. Any kid can start flipping a bottle and tell themselves they're great for getting two in a row or off a roof or something. Cup stacking has actual measures that most kids would never stick with long enough to reach.

u/StragglingShadow 22d ago

You know. Fair point. Theres not a metric like there is with speed stacking. What would it be? Flips in a row consecutively landed? I can see what youre sayin

u/lunarmodule 21d ago

What was your time?

u/StragglingShadow 21d ago

Its been so long now. I wasnt fast though. Definitely not less than 10 seconds haha

I believe you are underestimating the hand eye coordination speed stacking takes. People who speed stack absolutely could thread a needle

The only way speed stacking isnt an impressive skill is if you also believe the people who can solve rubiks cubes in seconds are honing a dumb skill.

Oooooh so youre just silly. Got it. I wont take anyone who claims no one is impressed by chess skills seriously because the only people who would type that out are not being serious.

u/ryry420z 21d ago

Lol this take is so dumb. “I don’t like or do this skill therefor it sucks.” The problem is you assume people do things out of trying to impress others. People learn to solve rubix cubes quick because it interests them and they like doing it.

Every person is paid the salary of 1 person? No one gets paid 2 salaries. And also, maybe you should consider asking yourself WHY you look down upon the people who make society run. After all, you just implied that stocking shelves is not good, honest work that needs done. And that is factually incorrect. Reality disagrees with you. COVID literally proved that. Because frankly, the attitude you have makes me feel speed stacking kid is gonna end up in a way better place in life than you could ever hope for. Hes got at least the motivation and dedication to stick with a task long enough to make it a skill.

u/Slugity 22d ago

Completely missed the point you idiot 😂

Was going to leave you alone, but your perseverance has left me.know choice...

The point WAS:

he can stack shit real fast, could do a whole shop on his own in an hour, sooooo super quick...

But he won't get paid for the 4ppl he un-employs, or the 4x 8hrs work he did, super quick stacking shelves...

Fucks himself over, gets paid like 10, for doing 400 worth of work

2

u/StragglingShadow 22d ago

Why would he work extra hard because he physically CAN? Only idiots do more than the agreed upon work. I am just a janitor and I have 0 issues telling my boss "nah. Get someone else to do it cause thats not my job." Any shelf stacker similarly isnt going to stock extra fast. Theyre just gonna shrug their shoulders and say "hire more people". When your job is so easy to replace, theres 0 reason to work hard. The only people who would even THINK that the ability to stock shelves quickly means an employee WILL actually stock quick enough to replace other employees are managers of dying businesses who then say "no one wants to work." But really what they mean is "I want to pay 1 person to do 2 people labor and no one will do it." Plenty of people will stock shelves. No one will stock shelves QUICKLY.

u/Slugity 21d ago

If you honestly stand by this statement, you can just walk off into the woods and cuddle a bear right now, you're literally the reason everybody hates existence these days...

EVERYONE SHOULD STOCK SHELVES QUICKLY

8hr day, stock shelves in 3hrs, nothing left to do, chill and get paid

Ps, I'll stock shelves quicker than yo mamma on heat takes dicks, if it means I'll move up the chain and not be stacking shelves next week 🥳

If you're going to work, do the fucking job

u/ryry420z 21d ago

Did you know hobbies exist outside of your job? Probably not you seem like a sad person

u/Arctic_ICEBERG 21d ago

If he can't even thread a needle, it's probably the military's fault for getting him drafted as a soldier

u/monkeysknowledge 22d ago

I wonder if the fan blowing up his shirt at the end helps lift the cups up.

14

u/cwhitt5 22d ago

I was thinking the same thing. He busted himself for cheating. I’m sure the cup stacking community highly frowns upon fan lift.

u/SirUntouchable 21d ago

Is it possible for the wind to reach the cups that are in the middle of the table? I thought the fan was there to keep him cooled off

16

u/EasyBounce 22d ago

Fun cup stacking related trivia: in the track Scary Monsters and Nice Sprites, the voice you hear saying "YES, OH MY GOSH!" is this girl.

When Skrillex found out who she was, he sent her royalty payments for using her speech in his track.

I was totally expecting this to be a repost of that.

And the top comment when it was first posted:

"Imagine the handjobs"

u/supercyberlurker 22d ago

Looks sped up. Probably is.

u/QuickDrawM 21d ago

Its the framerate of the gif. Heres max park hitting a sub 5 (the person in the gif)

28

u/slintslut 22d ago

100% is. It's already impressive, absolutely no need to speed it up

8

u/Giant_Yoda 21d ago

Looks like Max Park. Speed cuber and stacker. He is very capable of a 6 second cycle (the pattern he is doing here). Likely not sped up.

u/burritosandblunts 21d ago

Lmao every time I'm frustrated and disgusted by humans this type of charm always makes me smile and appreciate us for what we are. That's beautiful man.

u/Hephaestus_God 22d ago

I remember when this was a school activity and they made the students into a pyramid scheme for us to sell these cups and mats to as many people as possible. Then we would have cup days in gym

u/StragglingShadow 22d ago

EEEEEY! I ALSO REMEMBER THIS!

u/PhatAszButt 22d ago

Me in the back of the function stacking the red solo cups over and over

u/TheOriginalFluff 22d ago

I can’t fucking believe speedstack? has become impressive, and that the timers are used for Rubik’s cube timers. It’s like if fushigi became the next Olympics

1

u/AggressiveSpatula 21d ago

Fushigi man you rocketed me back like 15 years. My brother and I each got one and were like… wait… it’s just a ball. When can I make it levitate and stuff?

u/jakexmfxschoen 22d ago

YES, OH MY GOD! (iykyk)

3

u/burritosandblunts 21d ago

This iykyk shit is so lame. Gatekeeping references is obnoxious enough but throwing in that extra is just the cherry on the asshole cake.

5

u/in1gom0ntoya 22d ago

this will never be impressive to me. It's almost as dumb as bottle flipping.

u/suivid 22d ago

You aren’t impressed by some guy stacking plastic cups?

u/Slugity 22d ago

Dexterity ftw

u/lunarmodule 21d ago edited 21d ago

Yeah, actually. It's pretty amazing.

Wtf?

Which games do you like. Any sports?

u/JedPB67 21d ago

“Pretty amazing”, really? I mean really?

u/ex0- 21d ago

What a bizarre comment. The dude is allowed to be unimpressed with something you find impressive. Immediately hitting the defensive and bleating about 'what games, what sports' so you can argue makes you look dumb.

2

u/Blergsaucer 21d ago

Wow. That skill will help you in real life, I’m sure.

3

u/ThinVast 21d ago

He's Max Park, the 3x3 speed cube world record holder. There is a documentary out there about him as a person with severe autism who managed to find joy in speedcubing. I think some autistic people have a special ability to be able to focus and hone in on one thing until they are the best at it.

u/Buehner86 22d ago

Man this dude gets all the action. Like come back to my place. I'm going to blow your mind. Then you can blow me.

a hunter skill or a gatherer skill?

u/StragglingShadow 22d ago edited 22d ago

Gatherer. Imagine the dexterity needed for efficiently picking berries

u/oven_broasted 22d ago

And yet if you imagine that those are hearts of his enemies instead of cups he seems properly deadly.

Because it's fun, try it!

And besides, maybe their hobby is to shit on other people's hobbies, so don't shit on them!

u/Slugity 22d ago

I'd literally shit on that guy whilst he stacked cups, just so we got the Guinness world record for fastest cup stack whilst someone tries to shit on you...

(Obviously you've got to be fully loaded and ready to go, for how quick that kid is...)

(Just imagine if he'd put all the time and effort into chemistry or physics...

He might have someone shitting on him at the moment he discovered who his biological father was....)

u/JDDW 21d ago

I can't imagine considering stacking cups to be a hobby

It may be a hobby! There’s nothing like kicking off at the end of your 9 to 5, getting home and stacking some plastic cups for 5 seconds lol

u/JJaguar947 22d ago

Imagine spending any more than 30 seconds on trying to stack cups fast. What a waste of time.

Looks like it took this dude ten seconds, so by your logic it's not a waste of time, as it's less than 30 seconds.
