I can't tell if it's more of a "huh"/dumbfounded thing, or trying not to cry, or like a guy missing the point, or an understated "excuse me, asshole?" or what

I think it is supposed to be used in situations where a jarring detail suddenly appears during a story etc. "Oh- ok? oook then"

Someone says something weird and you're silently processing what was just said.

Hmm maybe that’s kind of the problem actually, it’s like we’ve become so insulated by so many layers of ironic detachment that “trying to process” is a reaction. It’s not even “Wat?” which at least contains an emotion.

it would be a good gif to deploy in a certain thread today

Jesus christ, do I have to go check FPs again today? Oh. Oh shit.

Where is there drama going down? I'm bored.

a sublime frequencies call out: how often do you listen to radio palestine, i remember syria, bush taxi mali, etc.

less drama and more dramatic heel-turn of longtime ilxor who all of a sudden decides to make a bunch of posts revealing his virulent anti-semitism

What the actual fuck

scrüt (wins), Friday, 9 February 2018 20:39 (six years ago) link

treeship 2, Friday, 9 February 2018 21:00 (six years ago) link

scrüt (wins), Friday, 9 February 2018 21:01 (six years ago) link

Wow that’s a real shame

treeship 2, Friday, 9 February 2018 21:02 (six years ago) link

hasn't the sublime frequencies guy himself said similar sort of paranoid stuff about jews?

Fedora Dostoyevsky (man alive), Friday, 9 February 2018 21:16 (six years ago) link

What the actual fuck?

not sure of this thread is a joke but that gifs for a double take

nxd, Friday, 9 February 2018 21:21 (six years ago) link

how is that a double take?

Fedora Dostoyevsky (man alive), Friday, 9 February 2018 21:22 (six years ago) link

the original isn't, but that's what its used for

nxd, Friday, 9 February 2018 21:24 (six years ago) link

iirc the original was some gaming video and this dudes reaction was to his mate buying a house or saving some money or some shit like that

nxd, Friday, 9 February 2018 21:27 (six years ago) link

it's literally not a double take at all, it's a single take

Fedora Dostoyevsky (man alive), Friday, 9 February 2018 21:32 (six years ago) link

fyi there were like a dozen "articles" about this gif published in 2017. just google 'white guy blinking'

rob, Friday, 9 February 2018 21:39 (six years ago) link

also i learned from the #gifhistory twitter thread that this is actually screencapped from the very corner of a competitive gaming livestream

BIG HOOS aka the steendriver, Friday, 9 February 2018 21:55 (six years ago) link

it was screencapped by the jews

lag∞n, Friday, 9 February 2018 22:07 (six years ago) link

Oh no, lagoon too

treeship 2, Friday, 9 February 2018 22:10 (six years ago) link

its not antisemitic to point out the proven fact that most memes originate from the jew culture

lag∞n, Friday, 9 February 2018 22:11 (six years ago) link

they control the media, banking, and gif making/sharing platforms

lag∞n, Friday, 9 February 2018 22:12 (six years ago) link

*backs up against a corner. screams for a mod*

Facebook just suggested this one when I searched for "you won't become rich"...

I am...confused

This brings to mind a middle-school insult, from one black classmate to another. "If ash was cash, you'd be a millionaire."
