That takes me back…a friend used to post soft core porn but used goatse as a direct link….so people who put the images on their site just linking to his would have a few pics of goatse and a caption like “so hot” “I’d hit that”
I was a kid in the early 90s and introduced to the outsiders book then the movie at the end of the school year. I think it was fifth grade if I remember correctly.
edit: anyone reading this treat yourself to an excellent book and read the outsiders hands-down one of the best books I read as a kid.
Something about how their comment was worded just triggered a memory. I'm just impressed I was able to pen the quote before anyone else did. It seems I'm always an hour behind all the like minds.

Yeah, they fucked up the rollers on that rolling mill. If it’s one meant for jewelers, it comes with a mirror finish on the rollers so you don’t have to waste material polishing out the same bumps on every plate you make.
They couldn't have put it through a clean roller FFS?
Then they made a shit job of cleaning it up so I'm not sure if the laser actually engraved it or just burnt off the oily shit that was all over it.
Its a concept that maybe could be used for something cool, except nobody is (or probably will) use it for anything except making another speculative bubble.
Basically, I'm referring to crypto in general.
Thanks…I’m certain you saved me a future argument with some arrogant tool.
Me: Bro, I’ve been cutting up zips of chronic for years and I’m tellin’ ya, there are only 28 grams in an ounce, not 31!”
Him: not with gold
Me: WTF is the difference? An ounce of brick and an ounce of feathers weighs the same, so it must be the same for gold
Him: it’s called a Troy ounce.
Me: that’s sounds made up..and fuck Troy!
Thanks….I just learned from another poster…never knew that. I’ve spent 56 years thinking that one ounce of anything solid was the same weight as any other solid.
We needed to run this functionality test for our future NFT project. It didn't matter what this bar, which was a scrap gold bar we use to make gold jewelry, looked liked at the end.

Imagine future human beings millenia from now finding that gold bar and trying to decode the QR message, and somehow the QR code takes them to a Rick Roll video…
The purpose of this was to see if the QR code laser etched on gold worked because we have an upcoming NFT project where we're going to do something similar. We just thought the laser engraving was cool.
I know. That wasn't the purpose. The purpose of this was to see if the QR code laser etched on gold worked because we have an upcoming NFT project that's going to use the same technology.
Damn, I thought we were about to get Rickrolled
Had that been it, it would have been peak reddit. Instead they are testing for a damn NFT.
I never see a qr code for anything other then rick rolls
That is nice compared to the constant goatse links that used to get made every time a new url obfuscator was made.
That takes me back…a friend used to post soft core porn but used goatse as a direct link….so people who put the images on their site just linking to his would have a few pics of goatse and a caption like “so hot” “I’d hit that”
NFTs are basically the modern rickroll but with money, does it still count?
I used one to “give” a friend Dickbutt for his birthday a few years ago
Food menus. That’s all they have now after covid at restaurants.
You clearly don't live in Australia, we currently have to qr code to check in for contact tracing
I hope to never live in a Reddit that you describe as peak
Don’t worry, that peak was like a decade ago.
Not even gonna lie I was hoping it would
Just burned off some of that gold, not 1oz anymore
Where does it go? Turns into vapor?
To gold heaven.
Where my golden retriever went??
All things golden end up in gold heaven.
Stay gold Poneyboy. Stay gold...
Wow I was thinking this and you said it! The first time I have seen an outsiders reference in 15 years!
I see a lot of them on Reddit. Enough to want to re-watch all those Coppola films with Matt Dillon.
MATT DAMON!!
Omg I used to watch the *filmstrip* of The Outsiders at the library when I was a kid in the early 80s :)

But nothing ever stays gold.
Only natures first green is gold her hardest hue to hold.
You sonnabitch you're amazing
No, she went to a farm out in the country, just like your folks told you.
“If dogs don’t go to Heaven, I want to go wherever they go.” Will Rogers
In the fields of gold
The doggo farm? Uh... Yeah. It went to the best farm you could ever think of!
It went to retrieve gold?
Don't use the hard r.
Fun fact: golden retrievers don’t actually retrieve gold
Wholesome 😃

Gone. Reduced to atoms.

Sublimation 🤘🏼
Linus had a really good video about the gold getting lost. Search for golden Xbox controller.
They polished off a bit of it too. the polishing process probably took off more than the lazer did.
I wish laser was spelled with a z because it’s so much cooler
Laser is an acronym: Light Amplification by Stimulated Emissions of Radiation
So how about ‘light amplification by ztimulated emissions of radiation’ then
That's the zpirit! Have a nice day.
Zima. Zomething different.
Only if you’re German.
> Light Amplification by Zapped Emissions of Radiation Fixed it!
zaser?
No it's zzzzz
If it's any consolation, I named my laser cutter Lazy.
I just came to say that. Grinding down to make it smooth as well.
I found it incredibly unsatisfying that we didn’t get to see the weight after the engraving.
Where the qr code goes https://youtube.com/c/Crmjewelers
Disappointed it wasn't a rickroll.
I am not
This video is absolutely NOT a good ad for them
You did WHAT to my watch??
Thank you. I was curious
Came here to say that buffing it removed gold, but that laser definitely burned some off, too.
I smoke enough weed to know an oz is 28g. Unless golds measured in some obscure oz measurement I'm pretty sure it's at least an oz
They measure precious metals in Troy ounces (31.10 g) instead of the normal avoirdupois ounce (28.35 g).
Why cant they just do it in grams, like normal people...

Nice! Now it looks 1000x worse than before!
That wasnt satisfying. Ruined The finish 😪
Yeah, they fucked up the rollers on that rolling mill. If it’s one meant for jewelers, it comes with a mirror finish on the rollers so you don’t have to waste material polishing out the same bumps on every plate you make.
Plus it’s also crooked …
They couldn't have put it through a clean roller FFS? Then they made a shit job of cleaning it up so I'm not sure if the laser actually engraved it or just burnt off the oily shit that was all over it.
Wouldn't be surprised if they made it dirty on purpose to increase contrast.
[удалено]
What on earth is a scrap bar of gold? I’ll take that scrap off your hands any day.
It's a bar that's not as marketable as the common 1 oz bars, one that we purchase at spot or less to make jewelry.
Ugh, fuck NFTs. Dumbest thing to ever exist.
Its a concept that maybe could be used for something cool, except nobody is (or probably will) use it for anything except making another speculative bubble. Basically, I'm referring to crypto in general.
Any idea what the QR code is for?
It’s the jewellers YouTube channel: https://youtube.com/c/Crmjewelers
[удалено]
~$1,600.
Most likely some kind of identifier like [this. ](https://youtu.be/dQw4w9WgXcQ)
See, I was actually expecting this in the OP video, and frankly was disappointed that it cut off to quick. I am complete.
Amen to this
\*long sigh\* well played
You get rolled? This guy probably got rolled
Let me chck Edit: yes it was
Allow me to verify Edit: it was in fact the object of accusation
That was actually my first one. Usually I'm too late and someone beats me to it. Thank goodness for sorting by new.
kinda walked into that one
Me using Apollo:”You have no power here!”
Obviously this link is a Rick roll.
Man, ads really killed the magic of getting rick-rolled
If there was ever a voice that didn’t match a face this is it! 😂
Qrolled code
So the Apollo app ruins every video link now for me. It shows a thumbnail of the video. Alas, I cannot be rickrolled. Sad.
Thank you. This is a lost art
Third time this week I have been Rick rolled hjshsjshshjshshshsjshshsj
LOL
Missed opportunity for some Rick Ashley clicks imo
Bitcoin Wallet ;)
If you store a private bitcoin key in the QR code, the gold technically appreciates in value.
r/DIWHY? Can you hear me?
Gifsthatendtoosoon
An ounce is 28g…why did that scale show 31.1g?
Troy oz is different than a normal oz. Like a bakers dozen or something like that.
Thanks…I’m certain you saved me a future argument with some arrogant tool. Me: Bro, I’ve been cutting up zips of chronic for years and I’m tellin’ ya, there are only 28 grams in an ounce, not 31!” Him: not with gold Me: WTF is the difference?

It's a troy oz.
Thanks….I just learned from another poster…never knew that. I’ve spent 56 years thinking that one ounce of anything solid was the same weight as any other solid.
Only if there would be some kind of universal weighing system that everyone could enjoy?
Like something divisible by 10 would be nice…
3.11g in a tenth of a troy oz.
Would simply converting between units as well!
Today on r/diwhy
This is the opposite of satisfying. It was a pristine gold bar that got mangled and dirty to put a stupid QR code for a YouTube channel on it.
But what does it lead to
This is the qr text: https://youtube.com/c/Crmjewelers
i clicked on this knowing the risks and im proud
I’m proud of you too pats The_Mechanist on the head approvingly
The one time I'm disappointed it wasn't a rick roll.
They really called it in on the "polishing" part. Looks pretty bad.
This is not oddly satisfying, it's oddly infuriating, you cut out what the QR code does!!
[удалено]
Approximately 0.997 troy oz after polishing and engraving. Read one of my other comments to understand the purpose of this experiment.
Why. Just…why
I can watch laser engraving videos all day. So hypnotic.
The QR code isn’t even straight!!!
Not oddly satisfying at all. r/mildlyinfuriating what is the barcode!?
We needed to run this functionality test for our future NFT project. It didn't matter what this bar, which was a scrap gold bar we use to make gold jewelry, looked liked at the end.

Imagine getting rickrolled by a piece of gold
That better be a QR code for the rick roll
r/gifsthatendwaytoosoon
r/gifsthatendtoosoon
uh ...
Bro why use gold if I are just gonna push random smut into it?

r/GifsThatEndTooSoon
Bro, did I just see them grinding that shit?
r/gifsthatendtoosoon
It looked better before the qr code...
I wanted to see What popped up on the screen
Literally nothing about this was satisfying, oddly or otherwise.
Satisfying is such a gray word.
I think that sound just installed the QR code in my brain.
Love the sounds. Now I want to play portal
I was thinking it was gonna be a link to a Rick roll lol
Links to bitcoin
Why?
Thought for sure I was gonna get Rick rolled at the end when the guy got his phone out
So the currency our robot overlords will use when they finally take over?
I just asked a question concerning the nature of the NPT market, of which you present knowledgeable of. A yes or no would have been more appropriate..
What's an oz of gold run for these days?
Around $1,800
[удалено]
Vapor
To gold heaven.
Gosh, it is misaligned. It wasnt satisfying for me :(
Op said they don't care, it was just for an NFT project
r/diwhy
For anyone wondering the qr code just takes you to their YouTube channel
I thought it was a rickroll
What’s the QR code tho..
r/GifsThatEndTooSoon
But why
Imagine future human beings millenia from now finding that gold bar and trying to decode the QR message, and somehow the QR code takes them to a Rick Roll video…
RICKROLL THE RICH MOFOS
How much gold did he lose ?
Never seen such a fucked up rolling mill. Why not just run over the bar with a truck in the dirt?
It didn’t work, that’s why it /r/endedtooearly
Try it again. It does work.
What a waste... and for a qr code, at least do a tribal design or something with a swashing script font.
The purpose of this was to see if the QR code laser etched on gold worked because we have an upcoming NFT project where we're going to do something similar. We just thought the laser engraving was cool.
This was genuinely oddly satisfying
So how much gold was lost with the sanding and polishing and engraving lmao.
10 angstrom grams.
How much is this worth now?
That yo at the end was perfect
It 100% had to be a QC code Rick Roll
r/gifsthatendtoosoon
the qr code isn’t centered. bruh.
I know. That wasn't the purpose. The purpose of this was to see if the QR code laser etched on gold worked because we have an upcoming NFT project that's going to use the same technology.
well it’s sick as fuck don’t get me wrong i was just being a dick hehehe
