[Two pictures. Top picture shows a screencap of a youtube video titled “how to drink water” with a 1.7m views. The picture below is a drawn figure (gintoki from gintama) not opening his mouth as he is pouring water on his face. Text on image says “1.7m people before this video”]
1.7 million with a drinking problem
I account for at least 500 of those views. I’m getting it very slowly. I can almost get most of it in my mouth without getting my hair wet.
Beat me to it.
Send him this video
“step 1… ok, i picked it up! go me!”
“Step 2… yeah, lifted that glass like a pro!”
“uhhh shit… now what? OH RIGHT!”
this is how i drink water when i don’t want to stop walking to have a sip, or i’m standing on a really wavy ship
for those days when you need a refresher
You will learn today how to embed gifs in comments:
- Try to find the url of the image. Usually you can rightclick/longtap on the image and a “copy image location” or something similar option should exist.
- On Lemmy add the following template in your comment:
![]()
- Paste the image link between the curved brackets. You should get something like this:

- Most clients and frontends have a preview button, so you can doublechek if you found the correct url, or you used the 2 kinds of brackets in the correct order, you should already see your gif there:
To me embedded gifs are alright if they are in comments by themselves because I can hide them, but if it’s the start of a longer comment chain it’s harder to read the comments under it without being distracted by the moving images so a regular link I can open in a different tab seems better
That’s what reduced motion accessibility setting is for
Why is he spitting out the water? (In the gif’s original context)
Gintoki is taking a piss upstream.
Gintama anime physics is unrealistic, with that kind of glass with no lip it usually clings to the side and slides down to the bottom corner instead of water falling off at the top corner.
