It's from the videogame Myst. When you found a book that allowed you to travel to another desolate place, it would show you this swooping preview exactly like that video.

It's in discord as well, my best guess is that twitter wants to drive traffic to their website/app and so they only allow _mb of content to be displayed offsite.

nah, twitter precaches 5 seconds of video, so you can start watching quickly, and its supposed to be loading the rest of the video in the backgound while this plays, but twitter is a really lovely slow site, so it breaks for a lot of people.

I don't understand why 70% of all Twitter videos I see only play for five seconds and then go into a buffering loop endlessly. This happens on all my browsers on two different computers but my friends say they don't have this issue. This isn't the place to ask for why this is happening -- the Twitter videos are not so important that they really interfere with my day by not seeing them -- but it's bizarre and frustrating every time it happens. Because I sit here like a jerk starting at a spinning circle because my 56k upbringing conditioned this behavior in me.

There's a bunch of posts about it in the tech support thread in QCS, it's the twittter servers doing something where they serve you the first 5 seconds preloaded if you're offsite but it's been sucking poo poo recently so basically every embed does it right now.

You can either click past the 5 second mark (except I've now learned that so many gifs have the moment of action exactly at 5 secs) or click through to twitter, no other solution right now. Sometimes it actually loads after the buffering, but rarely.

I only see a climber attacking a bear in that video, zero evidence that the bear wanted anything other than a lil' cuddle.

I like to think the bear just tripped and fell but then tried to save face and pretend it meant to do that by attacking the climber.

First rule of knife fighting, you're not going to cut without also getting cut.

Magic the gathering online changed hosts today, the first tweet is making a joke that people had to request their cards be transferred.

The second is a funny gif. Also one of the best new cards to come out prominently features a hamster token so I guess that's tangentially related

I forgot the awful app also embeds the tweet a reply is replying to, I would've just rehosted the gif otherwise, my bad.

It's a good bizarre gif though

This is going to sound like bullshit but I've bought one of these before and I think they even tell you not to use a knife to open it, or to cut the top part and like slide the mattress out or something.

We ship tons of these at ups and occasionally the box/shrinkwrap/whatever gets compromised in transit and they just explode in the hub or even in the box trucks themselves

Had a queen size explode open and wedge itself into a box truck, they had to bring it back to the hub to get it unstuck because those things are impossible to manually compress without like 6 people. And if it opens up in the hub, the resulting mattress has to be given to ups freight for the rest of the delivery if it's a large enough mattress because it will no longer fit in the normal hub system
