Hello guys! Two years ago i created this timelapse of /r/place and i uploaded my raw data. Because i'm still getting a lot of messages if i could please reupload the 3GB of data i decided to upload my data now to the ipfs network. Feel free to pin the files on your node to keep the data online. /ipfs/QmZfi3dFKH1cipC5zvtyWqPbjKGb9sxLiyvx6Asrz4kqBC/reddit_place.7z SHA1: 94FBADAD97E42046C96D099615DB26A499672380 ipfs.io/ipfs/QmZfi3dFKH1cipC5zvtyWqPbjKGb9sxLiyvx6Asrz4kqBC
Yeah, I loved that. At first I just thought it was cool how Germany invaded and then France grows at the sides until retaking its spot but the way they united was actually really nice.
Because it is unplanned peace and cooperation while drawing real life parallels, which is quite pleasant and uplifting to see. How exactly do you disagree?
@@IngvarMar It's actually the dc message you get on Oldschool Runescape that at the time of this was either currently having or had recently had major server issues. Hence how the community was able to hold the spot so easily, the rs nerds dont sleep thats xp waste.
@@GeorgeSinclairHD Yes! Scapers also had "buying gf", "a qp nice" and "73 35"(b0aty reference) just below the upper right corner. I believe most of these lasted the whole timelapse :D
Florian DrTurtok nah it was cause many people agreed it was an eye sore because of the light pink in comparison to the surrounding vibrant colours, i doubt most people even cared about the fact it was a rhythm game
@@miuphao Yea and I think people thought it was waaay too big for the size of the community compared to other communities with bigger communities but not that big of a piece of the map.
I love how dedicated people were to keeping their art alive. At certain points there looked like a coordinated attack against the Indian flag art, but it was repaired. Same with the American flag.
we Germans saw it as a joke, but after we saw the heart we felt sorry and we would retreat. Because at that time the EU was a good thing, we formed the EU flag to symbolize peace between us germans and the french
actually the rainbrow road was incredibly domineering and for some reason despite covering up other people's stuff they seem get this moral high ground pass.
When humanity is gone and aliens try to recover pieces of our ancient culture, I hope this is what they find. Pretty much all of us are represented here.
Not All of us..They forgot Alot of pur Mesozoic Cultural Values which is very important in history Like Seriously it's not complete in the pass but in the future,
I've got mixed feelings on that. On one hand it was a hell of a lot of fun. On the other hand, half the reason it was so much fun was that it was so spontaneous. I mean, look at Twitch Plays Pokemon. Most people never cared about any run past the first, because the first came out of nowhere and nobody knew if it was really possible to beat the game that way.
I know how the void is griefing and supposed to be a troll but the way they made it like a creeping blob with tendrils extending their reach to corrupt everything is pretty badass
There are endless details in this. I personally love how people fought against the white stuff appearing on the EU flag, until they realised it's a white pigeon :D
It was so full of destruction, it's whole appearance was like inky veins across the canvas, apart from it's failed attempt to destroy osu, which could have succeeded if it were more coordinated.
Things I noticed: -Gigantic prequel meme -Mona Lisa claimed by the Swiss -League of Legends -The US flag getting demolished then rebuild. -The fight between France and Germany -Sans and Papyrus faces -Connection lost in the top left corner -Gough.bmp -Blue corner living and dying -Pink Floyd? More like Pink Void. -Avocados
This is generally one of the most beautiful works of art in not only internet history, but all of history. The way everybody is represented on here, one way or another. The unions people formed. The little hearts between the flags that protected each other. The way the blue corner took over used a grid structure tactic, the way the rainbow road used just diagonal lines to take over, the way the void appeared like a veiny disease, but defeated almost every time. The EU flag with the symbol of peace between germany and france. It's a small scale representation of human nature, history and society. It makes me wanna cry sometimes because of how beautiful it is.
1960 in a nutshell Alright Everyone now has rights. No matter the gender or color LGBT: finally we can enjoy life The world: I'm gonna stop you right there!
I mean take a look at how long it took for us to draw a bloody maple leaf in the Canada display! Then when people were drawing the provincial flags, the panic after someone realized Newfoundland's had been drawn twice was palpable!
Ah, the void, quite the infamous faction of this madness. I did like the way the void behaved, though, it's movement was completely random, and the way it spread made it look like an actual living organism.
A moment of silence for our dear Fred Flintstone, who was built by hand over several long hours with just a few helping hands, then was squished by the UK and Mexico. Following a brief compromise with Mexico, we painstakingly moved him downward to avoid the UK's massive text that threatened to behead him. All was seemingly well until the UK again decided to construct smaller flags, and the North Ireland one squished Fred yet again. For the most part, though, it seemed peaceful until the void broke out and consumed that entire area, before Mexico's brutalized corpse collapsed forward to finish off Fred once and for all.
Wait I don't understand how this works. You can place a pixel in whatever color you want, every 5 minutes? And people somehow created an accurate copy of the Mona Lisa together?
To add on to what the other guys said; there were very active discord servers for most "clans". And we had ambassadors that would negotiate with nearby clans' discord channels, make agreements about who were allowed to have space on our flag, how much space and so on.
I agree, but for it to be noticeable it would take a large organized community working on it, and the only parties that would make it would be a large nazi community or 4chan (who were busy working on the void)
@Bryan Florio nationalism is very bad. You ignore the flaws of your own nation and think that you are superior to others just because you were born in some random country.
@@o.s.h.4613 "gasp! Someone who doesn't have the exact same political opinion as me! He must be a traitor to my country! And that other guy - oh if I said "ok buddy" to him that'd be so cool! I'm going to get so many likes!" Was that what happened in your mind when writing those useless replies?
My favourite thing about r/place is how the final product isn’t anywhere near the whole story. You ran take screenshots of literally any single point in time and there’s something happening at that moment that doesn’t exist later.
Except for the dutch at the top, they were there from the beginning and only got bigger up until the end where they were one of the biggest parts at the top
Each collection of pixels; every logo, every word, every flag represents a community coming together to put their mark on this project. The fact that so many of those communities were able to interact with one another and come to agreements that were mutually beneficial is incredible. As someone who worked on the Destiny logo (and related pixel art), we had communications with Scotland and Rocket League to ensure that we weren't stepping on their toes, and that they didn't paint over our stuff, and I'm sure other communities also found themselves chatting with their neighbours. I can honestly say that this was one of the best experiences I've ever had on the Internet, and I'm proud to be a part of the Reddit community.
I had no idea that were so many factions that came together and build this magnificent art. Though this is just small arts being created, it speaks a thousand words from the rise and fall of other faction, other factions working together, war waging with other groups and many more
Thats when the tyler 1 raid happened i didnt participate to anything since i liked tyler 1 back then but also was an osu community i started helping out osu in the end though
@@mariophreak We were literally working together with OW and Touhou to add a bunch of other shit all over the pink space - and then we got botted to fuck and back
I like to think this was a really huge civilizations match. You can see the nations (subreddits) humble starts, expand even through other smaller ones, evolve (add details), form alliances to stablish borders or protect each other and go to war (Megaman vs Dat boi, Germany vs France). Truly wonderful.
BlueCorner went from having a massive empire to nearly complete collapse. It was both sad and intriguing to watch the rise and fall of such a powerful force.
we dutch are a smal country but got nice portion in te top midel tru history empires rice and fall and u see that clearly here and simpel tribe's get pushed away by te complex one's
A little history lesson, isn't it? 0:50 Germany just took over France. 1:00 But France used to rise up. 1:12 France took over Germany but was hit by some sort of aggressive rainbow. 1:23 Rainbow combined Germany and France to the EU. 1:35 Colombia tried to protect Germany from Belgium. 2:25 Belgium just rolled over Colombia. 2:38 Belgium tried to took over Germany but failed miserably. 2:41 An eagle was born. Don't worry, the second eagle. 2:59 Belgium just decorated Germany with Belgian traditions (fries). 3:07 Germany now got cities. 3:19 Beer. 4:05 Somebody declared war on USA. 4:21 But the USA definately won. 4:25 The EU tried to invent peace. 4:31 Germany won the soccer worldcup. Jeez.
Don’t forget that at the end it wasn’t just Colombia, but also Ecuador 🇪🇨 and Venezuela 🇻🇪 helped out too and fused together Such a moving story about our past together and fraternity
@@smithsmithony5401 it's because there is different levels of nationalism. There is thinking your country is the best in the world and ignoring the problems (America and English) nationalism and then there is thinking your country can still be improved and you could help be the one to improve that (Canada and Scotland) nationalism
@The Drifter it's the majority. Look at the conservative party in England. They are taking money out of the NHS, the police and schools because they they think the country is so good and Americans are constantly told how they are in the greatest country in the world by both parties.
I was part of the void. We didn't do the OSU thing; it was never part of our orders and people were consistently told to leave it alone because a battleground is a worthless location to build a void from. That was tyler1 and then the reddit hatewagon attacking OSU.
I still cant comprehend how some of the larger and complex images can come out so perfectly. It would take like hundreds or thousands of ppl organized for that particular image??
my brother was on one of the discord organising that and yeah. they had a fuck ton of people and a very detailed plan. they were using coordinates and people were reporting back and everything
Besides, reddit's a US based site, it's fair that the US flag got prime real estate. Then there was the invasion of the void and the defense of the flag. An epic battle.
This thing is so intricate and complex, you could take a degree in the philosophy, formation and construction of r/place. It makes me very happy to see that the internet isn't just bad memes and negativity. It's good memes, and positivity.
This needs to be preserved, It tells, Even in the smallest of details, What the modern internet is like and the true sense of compassion and community. A true work of art.
i like how there was a large area of pixel hearts but the parts that intersected with the rainbow diagonal turned into rainbow hearts and the part that crossed the french flag turned into french hearts. later the hearts had lots of different flags inside them
I absolutely love how the while the fight was raging between the trans flag and the void, a dark side of the moon started to appear inside the void, and you can see just how the void was reluctant to destroy it.
yes it's incredibly stupid how people like to pretend that blue corner, the rainbow road, and other color/pattern areas aren't the exact same thing as the void. in fact the void started off as the white patch in the middle (blue went bottom right, red was one area, green was one area, white tried to keep the middle. but it seemed like people just considered a white spot on the screen to be an 'unused' area so it quickly switched to black so it was at least visually apparent there was a group trying to make a little area carved out in the middle. And then the damn rainbow people decided they deserved to just cut across every fucking part of the screen and for whatever reason people think they were justified in that and the blue corner was justified in their area but the void wasn't justified in having an area for itself? so the void got pissed off and said if you won't let us have our area we'll snake out anywhere we can. history is written by the victors so ofc the rainbow ppl love to pat themselves on the back. and the ones who try to paint it as some kind of battle between tolerance and intolerance are even more deluded it all started as just people teaming up to make diff colors on diff parts of the map like a little dumb game not some moral statement on LGBT rights.

I love how the guys from the Chilean flag were just constantly failing to draw a star until they finally got it right
I mean take a look at how long it took for us to draw a bloody maple leaf in the Canada display! Then when people were drawing the provincial flags, the panic after someone realized Newfoundland's had been drawn twice was palpable!
Yep I’m from chile and can confirm it wasn’t easy to coordinate
Ah yes, germany actually ate france and france duplicated himself to fight back but they fell in love and the european union was born.
Better love story than twilight
Ah, the void, quite the infamous faction of this madness.
I did like the way the void behaved, though, it's movement was completely random, and the way it spread made it look like an actual living organism.

A moment of silence for our dear Fred Flintstone, who was built by hand over several long hours with just a few helping hands, then was squished by the UK and Mexico. Following a brief compromise with Mexico, we painstakingly moved him downward to avoid the UK's massive text that threatened to behead him. All was seemingly well until the UK again decided to construct smaller flags, and the North Ireland one squished Fred yet again. For the most part, though, it seemed peaceful until the void broke out and consumed that entire area, before Mexico's brutalized corpse collapsed forward to finish off Fred once and for all.
RIP Fred flintstone

Wait I don't understand how this works. You can place a pixel in whatever color you want, every 5 minutes? And people somehow created an accurate copy of the Mona Lisa together?
Yes they were communities of thousands. Plus some people used bots.
@@Laurton yeah, the bots part makes sense
bro when this happened there was whole threads just to communicate and make their representation, this is peak internet communication

To add on to what the other guys said; there were very active discord servers for most "clans". And we had ambassadors that would negotiate with nearby clans' discord channels, make agreements about who were allowed to have space on our flag, how much space and so on.

Probably were either caught up in building on other things, or the nazi community was too small in numbers.
I agree, but for it to be noticeable it would take a large organized community working on it, and the only parties that would make it would be a large nazi community or 4chan (who were busy working on the void)

Each collection of pixels; every logo, every word, every flag represents a community coming together to put their mark on this project. The fact that so many of those communities were able to interact with one another and come to agreements that were mutually beneficial is incredible. As someone who worked on the Destiny logo (and related pixel art), we had communications with Scotland and Rocket League to ensure that we weren't stepping on their toes, and that they didn't paint over our stuff, and I'm sure other communities also found themselves chatting with their neighbours. I can honestly say that this was one of the best experiences I've ever had on the Internet, and I'm proud to be a part of the Reddit community.

That EU flag coming out of the Franco-Germanic war was epic.
I like to think this was a really huge civilizations match. You can see the nations (subreddits) humble starts, expand even through other smaller ones, evolve (add details), form alliances to stablish borders or protect each other and go to war (Megaman vs Dat boi, Germany vs France).
Truly wonderful.

@@smithsmithony5401 it's because there is different levels of nationalism.

@The Drifter it's the majority. Look at the conservative party in England. They are taking money out of the NHS, the police and schools because they they think the country is so good and Americans are constantly told how they are in the greatest country in the world by both parties.

JustUnlucky ™ not entirely, he backed off after osu regenerated. There's a subreddot named "the black void" it was it's doing
I was part of the void. We didn't do the OSU thing; it was never part of our orders and people were consistently told to leave it alone because a battleground is a worthless location to build a void from. That was tyler1 and then the reddit hatewagon attacking OSU.

i like how there was a large area of pixel hearts but the parts that intersected with the rainbow diagonal turned into rainbow hearts and the part that crossed the french flag turned into french hearts. later the hearts had lots of different flags inside them
I absolutely love how the while the fight was raging between the trans flag and the void, a dark side of the moon started to appear inside the void, and you can see just how the void was reluctant to destroy it.
Arkalidor that trans flag is rainbow road dude. Sorry
Chase Spears nah, rainbow road is a rainbow. the trans flag is the pink, blue and white stripes running across the canvas.

Hats off to r/pinkfloyd
Isn’t corner of blue just a less edgy void?
yes it's incredibly stupid how people like to pretend that blue corner, the rainbow road, and other color/pattern areas aren't the exact same thing as the void. in fact the void started off as the white patch in the middle (blue went bottom right, red was one area, green was one area, white tried to keep the middle. but it seemed like people just considered a white spot on the screen to be an 'unused' area so it quickly switched to black so it was at least visually apparent there was a group trying to make a little area carved out in the middle. And then the damn rainbow people decided they deserved to just cut across every fucking part of the screen and for whatever reason people think they were justified in that and the blue corner was justified in their area but the void wasn't justified in having an area for itself? so the void got pissed off and said if you won't let us have our area we'll snake out anywhere we can.
history is written by the victors so ofc the rainbow ppl love to pat themselves on the back. and the ones who try to paint it as some kind of battle between tolerance and intolerance are even more deluded it all started as just people teaming up to make diff colors on diff parts of the map like a little dumb game not some moral statement on LGBT rights.

With the distance you can't even see mona lisa is made of pixels. It is truly a work of art
Every photo you look at, online or in real life, is made of millions of pixels. This would be no different, not really mind blowing.
Except in real life they aren't called pixels.
pixels are not a thing in real life... we dont see in pixels. Pixels are only on screens..
there are no yellow pixels, only fake yellow pxiels
same applies to any art piece...
