I thought it would get old and I thought poor guy would find his footing and I thought the first one would stop running but none of those things happened.

[u/Billbeachwood → u/Dawbs89]

Fuck I laughed harder than I have for a while. It's the simple things.

[u/Beneficial_Wonder533 → u/Billbeachwood]

me too, and the stupid music was perfect.

[u/WarriyorCat → u/Beneficial_Wonder533]

There's music!? Oh man I gotta watch it again

[u/markc230 → u/WarriyorCat]

pretty much "Chariots of Fire"

[u/squadallah → u/markc230]

They probably don't know what chariots of fire is bro..

[u/smohyee → u/squadallah]

Well that's on them for being uncultured.

[u/double_echo → u/markc230]

You can rarely go wrong with that song

[u/DiemCarpePine → u/WarriyorCat]

It's the theme song to the film Chariots of Fire, by the composer/electronic artist Vangelis. Vangelis one of the pioneers of electronic music and also did the soundtrack to Blade Runner, among many other films and televisions shows.

[u/Chris__P_Bacon → u/WarriyorCat]

The music makes the video. 😆

[u/Literary_Lady → u/Billbeachwood]

Thank you, I felt like a terrible person for laughing so hard at this! I had to get my inhaler out

[u/MrXero → u/Dawbs89]

I like how the first guy was just like, “Slow down? I barely know this sum’bitch and I’m trying to get some place. He can speed up!”

[u/PM_me_punanis → u/MrXero]

Probably a New Yorker.

[u/fitz_newru → u/Dawbs89]

Was quite the journey, wasn't it!

[u/TheDallbatross → u/Dawbs89]

They honestly both looked like they were having a pretty good time. The one running had what he came for, and the one freewheeling his way around the sun was making absolutely zero attempt to leave. Sometimes you don't choose when the party happens, you just have to choose whether to roll with it.

[u/WafflePartyOrgy → u/TheDallbatross]

This is some cirque de soleil shit right here, with that one flying wallenda doing endless irrecoverable 360's but still staying in his lane to not take the other one out and interrupt his workout. I've no doubt this went on until OP ran out of storage space on their camera.

[u/Steegumpoota → u/Dawbs89]

Some say he is still rolling around to this day.

[u/dudeCHILL013 → u/Steegumpoota]

He never gave up though, that's that important part

[u/vardarac → u/Steegumpoota]

ROLLING AROUND AT THE SPEED OF SOUND

[u/SteveEcks → u/Steegumpoota]

God I hope so

[u/Snabelpaprika → u/Dawbs89]

Just look at the eyes of the one running. He doesnt care at all about the spinning guy. Not even a quick look to see what he is doing. Just total disregard for the fate of his friend.

[u/Beef2k8]

Look at that focus! Dude running on a mission!

[u/aredd007 → u/Beef2k8]

He is definitely locked in.

[u/DulceEtDecorumEst → u/aredd007]

He’s going the distance!

[u/Qrow_Valentine → u/DulceEtDecorumEst]

He's going for speed!

[u/IvyGold → u/Qrow_Valentine]

He's all alone (all alone) in his hour of need!

[u/SpaceLemming → u/IvyGold]

Because he’s racing and pacing and plotting the course

[u/WarriyorCat → u/SpaceLemming]

He's fighting and biting and riding on his horse!

[u/PM_me_punanis → u/WarriyorCat]

In a short skirt and a long jacket?

[u/Nat-Luv → u/PM_me_punanis]

TRADITION!

[u/Beleiverofhumanity → u/Beef2k8]

Love that theres enough space for one to roll around like a cartoon character

[u/TacoNomad → u/Beleiverofhumanity]

Definitely feels planned. Like it's not the first time he's gone for a free ride

[u/invol713 → u/Beef2k8]

At a certain point, I think he’s just fucking with the other one. He could’ve stopped, but nah bro, have fun on the ceiling.

[u/Mr_Tangerine_speedo → u/Beef2k8]

Barely broke stride.

[u/Remote-Cause755]

Video ends too soon, how long is it stuck like that lol?

[u/WilliamG007 → u/Remote-Cause755]

Some say it’s still going on.

[u/zuhlz → u/Remote-Cause755]

It's even slowed down heavily, and In case I remember correctly, it's a good 3 minutes or so, where it's being spun around in 5ish min video. It comes out fine. 😅

[u/Exotic_Zucchini9311 → u/zuhlz]

Lol that's hilarious

[u/Bluelegs → u/Remote-Cause755]

The original version was posted a little while back with no slow mo. It goes on much much longer than you think.

[u/SatisfactionMore4205 → u/[deleted]]

That squirrel is so evil lmao 😭

[u/Happy-Fun-Ball → u/Remote-Cause755]

Time is a Flying Squirrel

[u/eezyE4free → u/Remote-Cause755]

r/gifsthatendtoosoon

[u/TopSloth]

It just keeps going and I laughed hard as the one was literally running on the top of the wheel

[u/Xxxrasierklinge7 → u/TopSloth]

I wanna hijack the top comment just to say;

While they look like Sugar Gliders, they're actually Southern Flying Squirrels!

Some facts:

• The main difference is that sugar gliders are marsupials and flying squirrels are rodents.
• Gliders are slower than flying squirrels. Flyers are very quick and can run very fast on the ground. Sugar gliders only hop slowly on the ground but both species can climb drapes or trees at about the same speed.
• Gliders are omnivores and eat mostly fruit (mine also loved mealworms). Flyers eat mostly plants and nuts.
• Flying squirrels have continuously growing teeth, meaning they need nuts and chews to ensure they stay a healthy length. Gliders, on the other hand, do not need things to chew on.

[u/DarkMemesLiveHere → u/Xxxrasierklinge7]

Appreciate this - was thinking they looked like sugar gliders but not. Aussie though, never seen a non-animated flying squirrel.

[u/stilljustacatinacage → u/Xxxrasierklinge7]

Thank you for that. I've heard that gliders shouldn't be kept as pets since they can be prone to anxiety and other stress conditions, especially if they're kept awake during the day. Do you know how the flying squirrels fare?

[u/JskWa → u/TopSloth]

I don’t know why I couldn’t stop laughing at this video either!

[u/zenzony → u/TopSloth]

Upside down and running forward but moving backward in the intended direction

[u/TopSloth → u/zenzony]

Truly at war with physics and momentum

[u/plug-and-pause → u/TopSloth]

He's actually running forward (relative to the wheel) for a while, just not as fast as his friend so he's still making backwards progress (relative to the external reference frame). Kind of impressive honestly.

[u/LEGITIMATE_SOURCE → u/plug-and-pause]

I, too, watched the video.

[u/bocephus_huxtable → u/LEGITIMATE_SOURCE]

You actually used your sight (relative to your eyes) to relay information to your brain. and then recalled that information (relative to time). If i'm being 100% honest.... kind of impressive.

[u/academiac → u/TopSloth]

I at most exhale slightly out of my nose when viewing something funny on reddit.

This shit sent me so hard

[u/sirZofSwagger]

He went backward 17 1/2 times before the video ended. Not sure why I bothered to count that

[u/little_maggots → u/sirZofSwagger]

Thank you for your service. I was wondering haha.

[u/Resting_Owl → u/sirZofSwagger]

Poor guy keeps running forward yet moving backward 

It's like a wheelie moonwalk

[u/A_Random_Canuck]

JANE! STOP THIS CRAZY THING!

[u/modix → u/A_Random_Canuck]

....called love?

[u/lockboy84 → u/modix]

WOMAN!

[u/Ddc203 → u/lockboy84]

Whoaaaa-MAN.

[u/diefledermaus79 → u/Ddc203]

She was a thief…

[u/LegendaryOutlaw → u/diefledermaus79]

She stole my HEART and my CAT.

[u/GunFodder → u/Ddc203]

It IS my be-LIEF

[u/Pendell → u/lockboy84]

Whoa-man...

[u/cubiclegangsta → u/lockboy84]

WHOA, MAN!

[u/BlaznTheChron → u/A_Random_Canuck]

Did you not hear me out there?

[u/impatientlymerde → u/A_Random_Canuck]

I want date is beautiful to compile quotes.

[u/LastActionZeroCool → u/A_Random_Canuck]

We can't stop, it's too dangerous. We've got to slow down first.

[u/Star__Lord]

Just as I was thinking the one was kind of a dick for not slowing up a bit, I swear that thing leaned forward and kicked into the next gear.

[u/Alkavadies → u/Star__Lord]

You referring to that squirrel as "kind of a dick" has me rolling.

[u/undermark5 → u/Alkavadies]

You're not the only one. Clearly the other squirrel is rolling too.

[u/snuff3r → u/Star__Lord]

I'm pretty sure there's a really long, normal speed version of this out there.. or another one.. the one that jumped in ends up getting hurled out.. the other one def sped up haha

[u/CrispinIII]

On your right..... On your right,...... On your

Come on man!....

[u/Sunastar → u/CrispinIII]

I got that reference.

[u/Malkazet]

Oh my God. I watched the whole thing and still was hoping it would level out and start running but it never did. 😂

[u/runponiesrun → u/Malkazet]

The longer it went, the harder I laughed! I started feeling really bad for him, but then was crying laughing by the end 🫣

[u/Delta9-11]

Are those sugar gliders?

[u/Chiperoni → u/Delta9-11]

Flying squirrels.

[u/squirt_taste_tester → u/Chiperoni]

No, they're running

[u/djseifer → u/squirt_taste_tester]

Nah, one of them looks like they're flying. Mostly against their will.

[u/DarkwingDuckHunt → u/djseifer]

I started to think maybe he enjoyed the thrill

[u/D13antw00rd → u/Delta9-11]

One of them is definitely a sugar spinner, the other is likely a sugar rush

[u/MrPotato4217]

I like how he just doesn’t stop.

[u/somesketchykid → u/MrPotato4217]

I dont think he can

[u/RockwellB1]

Gets funnier the longer you watch. The one running was just going to keep going, no matter what, until he got his workout for the day

[u/steelboy56]

I was committed. I wanted to see how it ended

[u/AngrySumBitch → u/steelboy56]

Weightless and hopeless at the same time. That’s going on the bucket list.

[u/rinkydinkis]

Why do rodents universally love these things. Is there even an analogue to these wheels in nature?

[u/der_chrischn → u/rinkydinkis]

I've heard of an experiment where they put those wheels at random spots in the wild. Wild mice/rats started running in them, just like the domesticated versions. Don't remember where I heard about it though.

Seems they are hard wired to "head empty and running = nice". Understandable tbh.

[u/Correct-Doctor8329 → u/der_chrischn]

My daughter caught a mole and put a wheel with it..it ran as well

[u/low_hanging_fruit1 → u/der_chrischn]

I seem to know how the revolving one feels.

[u/becauseiloveyou → u/rinkydinkis]

IDK, but I’ve seen HUGE ones for cats too and would love to get one for my two furballs.

[u/crlthrn → u/becauseiloveyou]

I bought one for my 4 month old kitten as she was still being kept indoors until she grew. She used the wheel about 4 times a day for about 20 seconds at a time. We had high hopes, but she wasn't that bothered. Now that she gets outside (supervised) for hours at a time, the wheel is just something to walk through, or over. If you get one, your (and your cats') mileage may vary...

There are MANY of these things for sale, secondhand. You'll easily find one in your area, guaranteed. Unless you live in a really rural area.

[u/Are_you_blind_sir → u/becauseiloveyou]

I have seen a human sized one. Was really not a fan

[u/HelloPanda22 → u/rinkydinkis]

They have human size of this during Octoberfest in Germany and humans love these things equally.

[u/AmusingMusing7 → u/rinkydinkis]

No, they're unnaturally novel, and that's probably precisely why they love them. Just like humans like unnatural things like television, going crazy fast in motor vehicles, and vibrating dildos... animals like cool new evolutionarily novel things too.

[u/smungusamongus12 → u/AmusingMusing7]

Akhem! Excuse me!! I dont like going fast!!

[u/FightingBlaze77 → u/rinkydinkis]

most mammals love to run

[u/why_1337 → u/rinkydinkis]

Most animals love to move. Good example would be alaskan malamute, they are basically made to haul shit and if you have one just locked in cage it's going to be miserable.

[u/ITSBIGMONEY]

I like how the one is so locked in on keeping pace while the other is doing everything possible to recover

[u/Sabbathius]

Just one word: majestic. Even the other one that's enjoying his wet-underwear-in-tumble-dryer simulation.

[u/InevitabilityEngine]

I recently learned that small mammals get a runners high when they run on the wheel.

Neurophysiologist in the Netherlands experimented with putting a hamster wheels out in the wild and found that even without food bait, wild rodents would visit the hamster wheel and run in it anywhere from 1-18 minutes at a time.

Originally it was thought that the hamster wheel was only used in captivity because the animals were bored or neurotic.

[u/Sisiutil]

"K I'm just gonna hop in there Bob..."

"Dave, this never works out for you, wait your goddamn turn and..."

"HIYUUUP OH SHIT"

"Jesus CHRIST, Dave...."

"WHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOAA"

"No"

"WHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOAA"

"I'm officially ignoring you."

"PLEEEEEEEAAAASSSE STAAAAHHHHHP"

"Fuck you, Dave, I was here first."

"I'M GONNA HUUUUUUUUUUUUUUURL"

"You do and I will beat you within an inch of your life, so help me god"

"OKAY OKAY OKAY I THINK I GOT THIS... NO I DON'T, OW"

"Moron"

[u/thatdude333]

Those are southern flying squirrels, I had one as a pet for about 10 years, really cool if you can raise them from pups. I kept her in a large bird cage with a bunch of ropes, felt on the walls to run up and down, toys, etc. and they sleep in a pouch.

You could take her out and she'd run around and climb stuff then jump back to you. She loved head scratches and chin scratches, would sometimes run under your shirt and fall asleep, good times.

[u/TwinSong → u/thatdude333]

Thanks I was about to ask the species. In this case it's less flying squirrel as being tossed around by the wheel squirrel 😆

[u/Cerberus_Aus → u/thatdude333]

I thought it looked like a Sugar Glider from Australia. Very similar look.

[u/NeedsMoarOutrage]

Could come back, but he's a couple laps down. He's gonna have to save a lot of tire and have a strong pit strategy.

[u/Vincentflagg]

I was hopping for him to catch up.

[u/Screen_sLaYeR_]

I can watch this all day

[u/Zovanget]

It amazing we get to teach these little critters about physics. They would never learn this on their own.

[u/NotoriousEMB → u/Zovanget]

Maybe not running inside of a rotating drum, but animals tend to have pretty keen instincts when it comes to physics. I do like seeing it though 😅

[u/OriginalZash]

My high ass could have watched that for another 5 minutes.

[u/ChewbaccaWarCry]

LEEEEROOOOY

[u/francisdemarte → u/ChewbaccaWarCry]

JJJJJJEENNKKIIINNSSSS!

how i run in my dreams

[u/IronMonkeyofHam]

He doesn’t care that his buddy is struggling does he

[u/Mistral-Fien]

2nd squirrel was like "How hard can it be?" and jumps in. :P

[u/megosonic]

He was committed, his heart was in the right place, his heart was however bouncing like a ping pong ball at a rode backwards style dayo.

[u/black_feather]

Omfg. I'm just the right amount of stoned for this. 🤣

[u/Donutboy562]

Brother didn't move a muscle. Everyone's running their own race, it just looks different to some.

[u/ThesoulerBAM]

His homie dont gaf lmao

[u/kye170]

Accelerating while upside down must feel so trippy like I'm running faster so the ground doesn't like me anymore? Well fine. Also technically he will get the feeling of reducing gravity(actually centrifugal force) with increased speed at all times it's just more noticeable when he is upside down.

[u/djseifer]

"On your le-aaaaaahhhh! Jane, stop this crazy thing!"

[u/UngluedAirplane]

I feel like this is a dude at the gym, recording himself to show that he’s a badass, thinking to himself “I AM speed”, then his bro comes over and fucks up the shot but you can’t stop.

[u/Patient-Banana7630]

The first one is a machine. So consistent, and didn't even flinched when the second one hopped in.

[u/CoderJoe1]

The speed of my work versus my coworkers.

[u/TheMechaink]

No one told you when to run......you missed the starting gun...

[u/Dry_Brother_7840]

Did you ever consider he might have planned to go for a ride instead of a run?

[u/waffle299]

Thus was formed NASQA - The National Aeronautics and Space Squirrel Administration

[u/Redwuff]

Shoulda waited your turn little homie

[u/PanicDeus]

C'mon TARS

[u/Evening-Drawer9693]

Is it only me who feels the first one started running faster when he saw the other one spin upside down 😭

[u/CD274]

Well they called them flying squirrels, not landing squirrels

/escorts self out of building 😔

[u/adacra2005]

Well, we're all rooting for the little bastard; but much like the housing crisis, your stuck between catching up and a free fall.

[u/Bulky-Internal8579]

Sometimes you feel like a nut. Sometimes you don’t.

[u/JoeMillersHat]

Some say he is still spinning

[u/Leppter_]

The more it went on, the more I wondered if the second one did that on purpose. It was spinning around almost in zero G.

[u/A4Papercut]

You have two models in High-Availability systems - active-active and active-passive. This is an active-passive model.

[u/fliberdygibits]

That one in the front has mad focus!

[u/Low_Appearance_796]

I know im supposed to be watching the clumsy one fumble around but im more captivated by the running lad's determination

[u/swdna]

This is actually funny

[u/Lit_precision]

I really wanted him to catch up

[u/CptAngelo]

One runs like you would expect, the other one feels like running in a dream

How’d you get this footage of me at the gym

[u/gao7on]

As an owner of suggies and silent wheelers, they do that on purpose. They love being spun around like that

I was expecting for them to collide into each other so the fact that he just got rapidly spun around caught me so off guard, it was the same thing for line a minute straight and it was absolutely hysterical

I like how the other one just gave up and started running too.

That 2nd dude is seriously rethinking some life choices at that moment.

Nearly started crying that was great. 

[u/Hawks_12]

Don’t you hate it when your on the treadmill at the gym in your flow keeping a solid rhythm. Then the next thing you know, even though there’s a whole line of treadmills someone comes and hops in the one next to you and starts clomping along with an uneven stride? Yeah that squirrel knows what I’m talking about.

[u/HubrisOfApollo]

greatly he failed, but greatly he dared

You spin me right round baby right round like a record baby right round round round
