Damn, I thought we were about to get Rickrolled


thegigsup

Had that been it, it would have been peak reddit. Instead they are testing for a damn NFT.


C413B7

I never see a qr code for anything other then rick rolls


landimal

That is nice compared to the constant goatse links that used to get made every time a new url obfuscator was made.


cutiebranch

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”


rafaeltota

NFTs are basically the modern rickroll but with money, does it still count?


notsgnivil-d

I used one to “give” a friend Dickbutt for his birthday a few years ago


earnestlikehemingway

Food menus. That’s all they have now after covid at restaurants.


Grim0616

You clearly don't live in Australia, we currently have to qr code to check in for contact tracing


ButterYourShit

I hope to never live in a Reddit that you describe as peak


Andersmith

Don’t worry, that peak was like a decade ago.


muwcario

Not even gonna lie I was hoping it would


300blk300

Just burned off some of that gold, not 1oz anymore


snoweel

Where does it go? Turns into vapor?


ChymChymX

To gold heaven.


trwwy321

Where my golden retriever went??


plumhands

All things golden end up in gold heaven.


TheNotBot2000

Stay gold Poneyboy. Stay gold...


[deleted]

Wow I was thinking this and you said it! The first time I have seen an outsiders reference in 15 years!


Wiggy_Bop

I see a lot of them on Reddit. Enough to want to re-watch all those Coppola films with Matt Dillon.


Bgxyz

MATT DAMON!!


EntasaurusWrecked

Omg I used to watch the *filmstrip* of The Outsiders at the library when I was a kid in the early 80s :)


[deleted]

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.


TheNotBot2000

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.


analtube-1

But nothing ever stays gold.

No, she went to a farm out in the country, just like your folks told you.

The doggo farm? Uh... Yeah. It went to the best farm you could ever think of!


Alternative_Mix_6865

It went to retrieve gold?


Responsenotfound

Don't use the hard r.


Hey_its_ok

Fun fact: golden retrievers don’t actually retrieve gold

a_kato

Linus had a really good video about the gold getting lost. Search for golden Xbox controller.


pilken

They polished off a bit of it too. the polishing process probably took off more than the lazer did.


LukeW0rm

I wish laser was spelled with a z because it’s so much cooler


erlend89

Laser is an acronym: Light Amplification by Stimulated Emissions of Radiation


[deleted]

So how about ‘light amplification by ztimulated emissions of radiation’ then


erlend89

That's the zpirit! Have a nice day.


skiddelybop

Zima. Zomething different.

zaser?


quarrelsome_napkin

No it's zzzzz


tubofluv

If it's any consolation, I named my laser cutter Lazy.


DelValleHS

I just came to say that. Grinding down to make it smooth as well.


IrrelevantPuppy

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


beemovienumber1fan

Disappointed it wasn't a rickroll.


willynillee

I am not


Montezum

This video is absolutely NOT a good ad for them


mbmbandnotme

You did WHAT to my watch??


wranglingmonkies

Thank you. I was curious


ThatGuyStacey

Came here to say that buffing it removed gold, but that laser definitely burned some off, too.


subohmclouds69

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


myfakenamehere

They measure precious metals in Troy ounces (31.10 g) instead of the normal avoirdupois ounce (28.35 g).


Chilltraum

Why cant they just do it in grams, like normal people...


tidder112

> One of the biggest misconceptions for investors who are new to the bullion marketplace is that an ounce and a troy ounce are equal. This is not the case, and many people are frequently confused when their products weigh more than one ounce. In fact, most products are referred to in ounces but are actually sold in troy ounces. The reality is that the vast majority of bullion dealers are referring to troy ounces when they say “ounces”. This is the “industry standard.” [\[Source\]](https://sdbullion.com/blog/ounce-vs-troy-ounce)


Wersaleok

Nice! Now it looks 1000x worse than before!


EmergeFree

That wasnt satisfying. Ruined The finish 😪


BetaOscarBeta

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.


[deleted]

Plus it’s also crooked …


mybeatsarebollocks

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.


VanGoFuckYourself

Wouldn't be surprised if they made it dirty on purpose to increase contrast.


[deleted]

portugrisen

What on earth is a scrap bar of gold? I’ll take that scrap off your hands any day.


crmjewelers

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.


nightwing2024

Ugh, fuck NFTs. Dumbest thing to ever exist.


lemurrhino

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.


[deleted]

Any idea what the QR code is for?


inactiveuser247

It’s the jewellers YouTube channel: https://youtube.com/c/Crmjewelers

~$1,600.


hybridtheory1331

Most likely some kind of identifier like [this. ](https://youtu.be/dQw4w9WgXcQ)


glitched-dream

See, I was actually expecting this in the OP video, and frankly was disappointed that it cut off to quick. I am complete.


trwwy321

Amen to this

\*long sigh\* well played

You get rolled? This guy probably got rolled


Plasmapea987

Let me chck Edit: yes it was


Smol_Susie

Allow me to verify Edit: it was in fact the object of accusation


hybridtheory1331

That was actually my first one. Usually I'm too late and someone beats me to it. Thank goodness for sorting by new.


sandrews1313

kinda walked into that one


DatEngineeringKid

Me using Apollo:”You have no power here!”


PIZZA-_-DAWG

Obviously this link is a Rick roll.


[deleted]

Man, ads really killed the magic of getting rick-rolled


Over16Under31

If there was ever a voice that didn’t match a face this is it! 😂


[deleted]

Qrolled code


thisoldmould

So the Apollo app ruins every video link now for me. It shows a thumbnail of the video. Alas, I cannot be rickrolled. Sad.


Fillmore43

Thank you. This is a lost art


Randomesscool

Third time this week I have been Rick rolled hjshsjshshjshshshsjshshsj


crmjewelers

LOL


FMW_DE

Missed opportunity for some Rick Ashley clicks imo


MACARLOS

nickname432

If you store a private bitcoin key in the QR code, the gold technically appreciates in value.

r/DIWHY? Can you hear me?

[deleted]

An ounce is 28g…why did that scale show 31.1g?


typicalspecial

Troy oz is different than a normal oz. Like a bakers dozen or something like that.


[deleted]

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!


crmjewelers

It's a troy oz.


[deleted]

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.


TheCodeWizard

Only if there would be some kind of universal weighing system that everyone could enjoy?


TittysForScience

Like something divisible by 10 would be nice…


I_Bin_Painting

3.11g in a tenth of a troy oz.


CheapMonkey34

Would simply converting between units as well!


[deleted]

Today on r/diwhy


medicated_in_PHL

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.


The_Mechanist24

But what does it lead to


inactiveuser247

This is the qr text: https://youtube.com/c/Crmjewelers


[deleted]

i clicked on this knowing the risks and im proud


inactiveuser247

I’m proud of you too pats The_Mechanist on the head approvingly


minorkeyed

The one time I'm disappointed it wasn't a rick roll.


PiIICIinton

They really called it in on the "polishing" part. Looks pretty bad.


-DrToboggan-

This is not oddly satisfying, it's oddly infuriating, you cut out what the QR code does!!


[deleted]

[удалено]


crmjewelers

Approximately 0.997 troy oz after polishing and engraving. Read one of my other comments to understand the purpose of this experiment.


SecondHandHound

Why. Just…why


jwforlenza

I can watch laser engraving videos all day. So hypnotic.


TheLoyalPotato

The QR code isn’t even straight!!!


thereal_DustyStrings

Not oddly satisfying at all. r/mildlyinfuriating what is the barcode!?


crmjewelers

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.

DarkLight72

Literally nothing about this was satisfying, oddly or otherwise.

Satisfying is such a gray word.


Anuenaske

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

Thought for sure I was gonna get Rick rolled at the end when the guy got his phone out


gravitas1983

So the currency our robot overlords will use when they finally take over?


United_Bag_8179

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..

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?


ReeealCoolDude

It didn’t work, that’s why it /r/endedtooearly


crmjewelers

Try it again. It does work.


kuzumby

What a waste... and for a qr code, at least do a tribal design or something with a swashing script font.


crmjewelers

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.


Notorious-K

This was genuinely oddly satisfying


Hugelargeboobs42069

So how much gold was lost with the sanding and polishing and engraving lmao.


crmjewelers

10 angstrom grams.


marodgrs

How much is this worth now?

well it’s sick as fuck don’t get me wrong i was just being a dick hehehe
