Lots of people asking about where the leaderboard is for this
ITS HERE: www.speedrun.com/pss#In_Real_Life
very epic
Thanks, was wondering where it was at.
Heard rumors of you changing your name to kneecream
G
I can't see u in the leaderboard
Imagine
“Ayo can you sharpen my pencil?”
“Sure” *removes socks*
1 minute later: done!
Yeh that’s weird
"I asked to sharpen pencil, not to completely erase it from existence.."
Pants*
No! Keep them on, otherwise its gay!
So what you’re saying is, this run is pay to win
That was my thought too, especially when he broke out the 'best pencil sharpener money can buy'.
The fact that you need to use premium pencils makes it p2w too
Pretty obvious tho. Like the canadian lumberjack contest, everyone has the best axe they can get or build to specifically match their needs and body.
Basically any competition where you can bring your own gear is pay to win. From Olympic swimming to wild climbers, if you don't have the best gear you're in for a bad time regardless of the level of competition.
@@GreyPunkWolf Wait, olympic equipment isn't standardized for the participants?
Pay to win speedrunning isn't okay, i'll have to boycott that event.
@@LeCheckmate It's only controlled and regulated to avoid cheating. But every participant bring his own gear and medical team. Only the emergency medics are paid by the event. And the cleaning crew obv.
Although they don't pay personally for the gear and insurance, they have sponsors for that
Also sponsors bring them steady income even when they aren't doing competitions so that they can focus only and completely on their training to have the best performance once the competition period starts.
I can’t believe that before Smallant entered the scene, the world record took half an hour to sharpen 10 pencils.

The thumbnail looks like the local chimneysweep surrendering to the police after he was caught red handed stealing singular a singular lima bean.
Mixed with the fake mr beast pose
The title was cut off, so I read it as "how I became the fastest pencil," and I didn't even question it
this needs more likes
Lol
I imagine pencil go brrrrrrrrr

Why would you need to question it? Do not question the almighty one.

I’m late to this but if you read this I love this format. Most streamers just upload their livestreams, sometimes including intros and break times. The commentary over it makes both platforms different and enjoyable. The commentary makes the video feel like more of a story while the stream feels more personal. Good stuff

He predicted the "MR BEEEEAST" pose....

Okay but can we talk about that guy in last place who took more than 7 hours to sharpen 10 pencils?
Time stamp ??
Ikr, did he genuinely sit there sharpening pencils for 7 hours??
@@Error-pm3iu it's in the leader board
Maybe he was trying to beat the record for slowest pencil sharpener. It takes some dedication to sit down and do nothing but sharpen pencils for 7 hours
Error 404 4:15
Bro can we congratulate the man who took seven hours of his life to sharpen 10 pencils. this man is a legend
Rip to all the Pencils and sharpeners we lost during the making of this video
And.. hands.
Can't believe I just watched a documentary about a man sharpening pencils
lol same
🤣🤣
It was great tho.
Me too, kid.
Wait I just began ro rethink life..
“Is he gonna do the glitch to skip the seventh pencil?” Had me dying.
Well it depends on if he speedruns any% or glitchless pencils
@@ultimateabsol1268 lmaoo
But to perform the glitch is hard thoo... he doesn't have the enough experience levels to do it
He needs to do the sharperner clip then try to get a frame perfect sharpen on the 4th pencil.
I saw that to
This is an amazing catagory. Still, there's a lot to come in this record. A wide range of premium sharpeners are still going to be faster, the twin blade one he picked initially being a great choice. The KUM sharpeners at the beginning of the video being another, along with the great name. There's a good array of novel sharpeners out there. But you need to sharpen the blades and replace them when they are overused. Premium pencils are obviously better, but picking the correct wood makes a huge difference. Premium tend to use hardwood instead of the woods cheap pencils use gumming up the internals, I'd presume maple would be the best hardwood choice. However talk to a carpenter to find out which is easiest to plane. Finally I'd think a few miscellaneous tweaks might help too. Lubricant on the inside of the sharpener so it spins freer. Pencils contain graphite which is a great lubricant, graphite powder would be better. Maybe even something like molybdenum dabbed on the end of each pencil or something equally silly could help.
I'm not able to be the sharpening world record holder myself, but I can at least advance the meta for those who are able to compete.
You're a bona fide genius. Thank you for sharing your wisdom with us. I hope it inspires the next generation of pencil sharpening speedrunners.
As a pencil collector my advice for chocie of pencil would go to Blackwing Pencils, they are made of premium quality cedar wood wich sharpen like butter (They are however super expansive) A even better pencilchoice would go to the Mitsubishi Hi-Uni wich is even more expansive but smooooth. Graphite also plays a big factor, the scale goes from B (soft and dark) to HB (Midrange and most used pencils) to H (Hard and light) So the smartest choice would be using B10 graphite pencils with premium quality cedar wood. And than the choice of sharpener, i am unaware if it's a rule but crank sharpeners are the godtier sharpeners in all aspect, if they are not allowed a Kum sharpeners would be my choice aswell. I want to see a sub 1 minute run now KEKW
The sage shares their wisdom with us mortals. Thank you for your service.
lubricant on the internals would just make the wood chips stick and build up inside.
@@Tosh.O There's many, many types of lubricant. Dry lubricant specifically being one style. Molybdenum being my favoured industrial lubricant, it loves to build up grey stains everywhere but imo typically better than graphite. Both are in powder form, graphite similar to powdered pencil lead which obviously doesn't make the wood chips stick.
at the end it looks like your kept hostage and being forced to sharp the pencils against your will.
4:15 are we not gonna talk about how someone took 7 1/2 hours to sharpen 10 pencils
Leo Belyi they had to make sure the pencils were all made of the same tree first.
Jesus Christ I didn’t even notice that 😂😂😂

Are we gonna ignore the fact that someone took 7 hours and 21 minutes to sharpen 10 pencils.
my guess is that they sharpened 9 pencils, took a 6 hour nap, found out they miscounted the number of sharpened pencils and then finished the speedrun skfjdfjskfjsdfh

yes.

Quality pencils
It echoes gaming speedrun progressions so beautifully 👌
