@mromutt @Blind Owl can I eat you? please?
No you may not eat us! :o
Greetings Brothers and Sister(s?), it is I, Grimbli, returned from the land of Shitposting to bring you the beginning of the greatest shitpost!!!
I contemplated long and hard (hehe) on the perfect shitpost. And the idea came to me! What better way to shitpost than to bring old shitposts back from the dead? I drudged the bottom of this very thread to bring to you...
Only WarrenPeace would post just a video.
Oh, YouTube.
*shakes head*

SHITPOSTING, A HISTORY VOL. 1
Shive was the first to create this post. Little did he know the torrent he would soon unleash.
Here we see our first shitpost. Good job, Arrangingstars!
In an attempt to generate more shitposts, Shive calls some fellow TESTies out!
The appearance of the Duck Army! He looks so young.
Only WarrenPeace would post just a video.
Soon we see the coherency of the post begin to degernate.
This post from Black Sunder is the first to realize you can farm the thread for Likes! This discovery took place on the very first day, unlike many Historians who believe it was Blind Owl that coined this strategy.
Such a hollow threat, or was it? None alive today know if the ban ever happened.
Having Chris in the thread immediately prompted the Derek Smart in retaliation!Do you really want to be the one to like this?
Spais check in below \/
Insubstantial post, we can expect much more of these from WarrenPeace in the future.
These videos appear to have been around since the beginning, although there is a surprising lack of J-Pop.
Psychology of any kind will not work, reverse or not. TESTies do not understand what regular psychology is.maybe reverse psychology will work...
Oh boy, everyone should like this post! :D
Oprah references never get old!
Shitposting at its finest!
The short replies are often the best.
Silly foreigners.
Having memos at the ready is the way to go.I call your DS and raise it up to
*incoherent fact*
This is a post.
Pride is the downfall of many early posts.
Oh, YouTube.
Some inception shit going on here.
That's right Charlie Brown.
Something like that.
Horrible message to send to the future!
I think he's got it!
Test Spais?!
Probably shouldn't.
Once we link EBAY, anything is game.
Some of us are more fragile than others.
Then there's Chairman Meow...
Sadly we all love Anime.
Having a video in your post is like saying "I'm done trying"
I think we all know that feel, bro.
That's a bold strategy indeed.
Probably not as many likes as Blind Owl has given...I'm just here to give likes to everyone.
Oh no!
*shakes head*
This meets the minimum requirements for posting!
Something appears to be missing?
He noticed as well.
I believe that was on purpose.
TL;DRVictory is assured.. Muhahahaha
A detector image (top) signals the existence of Weyl fermions. The plus and minus signs note whether the particle's spin is in the same direction as its motion -- which is known as being right-handed -- or in the opposite direction in which it moves, or left-handed. This dual ability allows Weyl fermions to have high mobility. A schematic (bottom) shows how Weyl fermions also can behave like monopole and antimonopole particles when inside a crystal, meaning that they have opposite magnetic-like charges can nonetheless move independently of one another, which also allows for a high degree of mobility.

An international team led by Princeton University scientists has discovered Weyl fermions, an elusive massless particle theorized 85 years ago. The particle could give rise to faster and more efficient electronics because of its unusual ability to behave as matter and antimatter inside a crystal, according to new research.
The researchers report in the journal Science July 16 the first observation of Weyl fermions, which, if applied to next-generation electronics, could allow for a nearly free and efficient flow of electricity in electronics, and thus greater power, especially for computers, the researchers suggest.
Proposed by the mathematician and physicist Hermann Weyl in 1929, Weyl fermions have been long sought by scientists because they have been regarded as possible building blocks of other subatomic particles, and are even more basic than the ubiquitous, negative-charge carrying electron (when electrons are moving inside a crystal). Their basic nature means that Weyl fermions could provide a much more stable and efficient transport of particles than electrons, which are the principle particle behind modern electronics. Unlike electrons, Weyl fermions are massless and possess a high degree of mobility; the particle's spin is both in the same direction as its motion—which is known as being right-handed—and in the opposite direction in which it moves, or left-handed.
"The physics of the Weyl fermion are so strange, there could be many things that arise from this particle that we're just not capable of imagining now," said corresponding author M. Zahid Hasan, a Princeton professor of physics who led the research team.
The researchers' find differs from the other particle discoveries in that the Weyl fermion can be reproduced and potentially applied, Hasan said. Typically, particles such as the famous Higgs boson are detected in the fleeting aftermath of particle collisions, he said. The Weyl fermion, however, was discovered inside a synthetic metallic crystal called tantalum arsenide that the Princeton researchers designed in collaboration with researchers at the Collaborative Innovation Center of Quantum Matter in Beijing and at National Taiwan University.
The Weyl fermion possesses two characteristics that could make its discovery a boon for future electronics, including the development of the highly prized field of efficient quantum computing, Hasan explained.
For a physicist, the Weyl fermions are most notable for behaving like a composite of monopole- and antimonopole-like particles when inside a crystal, Hasan said. This means that Weyl particles that have opposite magnetic-like charges can nonetheless move independently of one another with a high degree of mobility.
The researchers also found that Weyl fermions can be used to create massless electrons that move very quickly with no backscattering, wherein electrons are lost when they collide with an obstruction. In electronics, backscattering hinders efficiency and generates heat. Weyl electrons simply move through and around roadblocks, Hasan said.
Hasan (pictured) and his research group researched and simulated dozens of crystal structures before finding the one suitable for holding Weyl fermions. Once fashioned, the crystals were loaded into this two-story device known as a scanning tunneling spectromicroscope to ensure that they matched theoretical specifications. Located in the Laboratory for Topological Quantum Matter and Spectroscopy in Princeton's Jadwin Hall, the spectromicroscope is cooled to near absolute zero and suspended from the ceiling to prevent even atom-sized vibrations.

"It's like they have their own GPS and steer themselves without scattering," Hasan said. "They will move and move only in one direction since they are either right-handed or left-handed and never come to an end because they just tunnel through. These are very fast electrons that behave like unidirectional light beams and can be used for new types of quantum computing."
Prior to the Science paper, Hasan and his co-authors published a report in the journal Nature Communications in June that theorized that Weyl fermions could exist in a tantalum arsenide crystal. Guided by that paper, the researchers used the Princeton Institute for the Science and Technology of Materials (PRISM) and Laboratory for Topological Quantum Matter and Spectroscopy in Princeton's Jadwin Hall to research and simulate dozens of crystal structures before seizing upon the asymmetrical tantalum arsenide crystal, which has a differently shaped top and bottom.
The crystals were then loaded into a two-story device known as a scanning tunneling spectromicroscope that is cooled to near absolute zero and suspended from the ceiling to prevent even atom-sized vibrations. The spectromicroscope determined if the crystal matched the theoretical specifications for hosting a Weyl fermion. "It told us if the crystal was the house of the particle," Hasan said.
The Princeton team took the crystals passing the spectromicroscope test to the Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory in California to be tested with high-energy accelerator-based photon beams. Once fired through the crystal, the beams' shape, size and direction indicated the presence of the long-elusive Weyl fermion.
First author Su-Yang Xu, a postdoctoral research associate in Princeton's Department of Physics, said that the work was unique for encompassing theory and experimentalism.
"The nature of this research and how it emerged is really different and more exciting than most of other work we have done before," Xu said. "Usually, theorists tell us that some compound might show some new or interesting properties, then we as experimentalists grow that sample and perform experiments to test the prediction. In this case, we came up with the theoretical prediction ourselves and then performed the experiments. This makes the final success even more exciting and satisfying than before."
In pursuing the elusive particle, the researchers had to pull from a number of disciplines, as well as just have faith in their quest and scientific instincts, Xu said.
"Solving this problem involved physics theory, chemistry, material science and, most importantly, intuition," he said. "This work really shows why research is so fascinating, because it involved both rational, logical thinking, and also sparks and inspiration."
Weyl, who worked at the Institute for Advanced Study, suggested his fermion as an alternative to the theory of relativity proposed by his colleague Albert Einstein. Although that application never panned out, the characteristics of his theoretical particle intrigued physicists for nearly a century, Hasan said. Actually observing the particle was a trying process—one ambitious experiment proposed colliding high-energy neutrinos to test if the Weyl fermion was produced in the aftermath, he said.
The hunt for the Weyl fermion began in the earliest days of quantum theory when physicists first realized that their equations implied the existence of antimatter counterparts to commonly known particles such as electrons, Hasan said.
"People figured that although Weyl's theory was not applicable to relativity or neutrinos, it is the most basic form of fermion and had all other kinds of weird and beautiful properties that could be useful," he said.
"After more than 80 years, we found that this fermion was already there, waiting. It is the most basic building block of all electrons," he said. "It is exciting that we could finally make it come out following Weyl's 1929 theoretical recipe."
Ashvin Vishwanath, a professor of physics at the University of California-Berkeley who was not involved in the study, commented, "Professor Hasan's experiments report the observation of both the unusual properties in the bulk of the crystal as well as the exotic surface states that were theoretically predicted. While it is early to say what practical implications this discovery might have, it is worth noting that Weyl materials are direct 3-D electronic analogs of graphene, which is being seriously studied for potential applications."
Preposterous!
On the Test website it shall go!
may as well put this somewhere :D
Seems to be.
Too bad he was wrong.
Silly Fox, we know you love Likes!
How horrible! The Like-market crash of '15!
If only the thread were ever shut down. We're running strong!
That's the spirit!
Perhaps Shive should stick to racing, shitposting is a whole other beast.
Obviously his intentions are pure...
Something something Dark Side.
Tangerine!!!

PART 2
Some say he himself exploded.
How many videos can WarrenPeace post?
I'm afraid we have to.
That will only get you more Likes!
Possibly the first mention of Spiderman.
Octopus porn is best porn!
Spiderman doesn't need detectors, he has Spidey-sense!I was just thinking Spiderman myself....
TOO MANY SPIDERMANS!!
Some quality Spidey-porn here!
How he do dat?
Into Narnia!The epic trilogy. It all begins with a voyage of discovery.
Then, trouble emerges as new threats loom on the horizon:
Finally, after a unthinkable betrayal...
The level of videos in this thread is too damned high!
Posting Spiderman is the new thing.
Obvious statement is obvious.
Surprisingly not everyone knows about Like farming yet.
This man demands answers!
Spider Brimley.
How sad...
Introverted Eeyore is sad.
Too many French hate themselves, it's a national sport!
Picking on the less fortunate, WarrenPeace will sink to any level.
On another note, France sucks!
Something something Com-Plete.
Too many words and dates!
Some say TEST is best, those people are usually TEST!
Hell is this?
In this game, everyone is a loser.
Truer words were sometimes spoken.ell the joke about french being "surrendered monkeys" is so persistent everywhere you go on the internet, I didn't think someone would actually say something true on that subject. XD
I've played a lot of online games (including eve with test) nobody ever said that about us french... mhhhh.. I think it's because both of you are secretly French!
Possibly...yes?
Oh we know the truth!
S-M-R-T!
Text.
Sad puppy eyes get me every time!Can we get this back on track please!
Has anyone ever liked him?
I like Oscar the Grouch!Only if you count back like 17 or 18 generations. But yes, back to the topic at hand!
Truth be told, we all saw it.
Possibly the truest statement.
Only in your mind.
So you say.
That was a team effort!
Sure did.
Honestly we can only count to Beer.
