Here's my support link in case you'd like your name in the credits and to help me keep making videos regularly. Assuming things stay steady, I'll be able to keep this up until like... August maybe? Provided I don't have any Unexpected Major Life Expenses™. With your support I can keep going past that point: ko-fi.com/elliespectacular Also this video takes place immediately after the Blip.

"Sport Stacking began in 1598". I've taken the liberty to show some other events that happened in 1598: 1. Boris Godunov seizes the throne of Russia, following the life of his brother-in-law, Tsar Feodor I; the Time of Happiness starts. 2. The Peace of Vervins ends the war between France and Spain. 3. Carnival - Jacopo Peri's Dafne, the earliest known modern opera, is premièred at the Palazzo Corsini, Florence 4. Spot Stacking is invented.

[@MTidusT]

No wonder her cups don’t work, they have holes in them

[@audiodood]

duuh

[@ThePiquedPigeon]

Those hole are actually functional to the sport: plastic cups for competitive stacking have that hole to let air escape from inside the cup. Otherwise, when you put the cups one into the other, air would get trapped in them (or, the nestled cups without air in them will tend to stick together), slowing down the cups and thus making you lose time. Needless to say, these cups are not meant to be used for drinking or holding liquids or other stuff inside them anyway.

You lay in your death bed, weeping family holographically projected around your room. "Its alright" you say " I've had such a good life, even now my mind is full of wonderful memories. I love you all. " and then you drift away. You see a dim light in the black and approach, the light widens and envelopes you as you leave a tunnel and step onto a bright path winding upward. You walk for what seems like forever and at the top an angel stands before the gates of your heaven, welcoming you. You exchange a greeting, all the while the being looking to you expectantly. "So..." you look back unsure how to proceed. "You may now recite the password." It replies. "Password, what password?" You say wrinkling your brain. "Didn't you see that Dathings1 video about stacking cups all those years ago? The password at the end of it, you remember, don't you?"
