Cassandra was an oracle, who was cursed by one of the gods (I forget which, probably Athena.) To have perfect prophecies, but be seen as false by anyone she spoke to. Icarus was the son of Daedalus, the wing guy. Flew too high, broke his wings and fell to his death

Cassandra slept with Apollo to convince him to grant her the gift of prophecy but when he found out she didn't love him, he cursed her to never be believed. Cassandra was later taken by that asshole Agamemnon as a "war prize" but when she predicted that his wife, Clytemnestra (Helen of Sparta's twin half-sister), and her lover, Aegisthus, would kill them both in revenge for him either 1. sacrificing their daughter Iphigenia to the gods before the war and/or 2. killing her first husband, Tantalus (not the one who fed the gods his own sons - that was Agamemnon's ancestor), and forcing her to marry him. Agamemnon didn't believe Cassandra and so the two ended up dead.

15:00 They are indeed references to Greek mythology. A Herculean task references Hercules, who had to perform twelve seemingly-impossible tasks - but, strong and smart demigod that he was, managed to do them anyway. A Sisyphean task references Sisyphus, who was so evil he was condemned to roll a boulder up a hill in the afterlife - except it would always roll back down when he almost got it up, making it an endless task that is impossible to finish. The Icarian task references Icarus, who was imprisoned together with his father Daedalus but they escaped using wings made of wax and feathers. However, Icarus flew too close to the sun, his wings melted, and he crashed and died. The story doesn't agree with apollos-boyfriend, though, as the task was not impossible - Daedalus survived - and Icarus was just flying high because it was so much fun. The Cassandrean task references Cassandra. Apollo was hot for her, she accepted some gifts and then turned him down, so Apollo cursed her to always give true prophecies that nobody would believe her. For example: she warned about the Greek soldiers being in the Trojan horse, but wasn't believed, resulting in the downfall of Troy.

[@Snowthree]

Suggestion: Persephonian Task: A task that you originally thought you would hate and despise only to find out that you are not only good at it, but surprisingly enjoy it. The take: Persephone was the daughter of Demeter and Hades fell in love with her. He proceeded to kidnap her to become his wife because this story happens in ancient Greece/Rome and that's just how things went back then. However, shockingly, not only did Persephone actually come to legitimately love Hades, she ruled over the underworld as his equal and, by all accounts, they had, by far and away, the healthiest marriage in Hellenistic mythology.

27:08 This brings out so much rage in me. Part of the reason I don't associate with my mom's family is how they consistently treat animals. My uncle had a dog they constantly kept chained outside next to its doghouse. And when I say constantly, I mean they literally couldn't remove its collar when it died *because it hadn't been removed once in several years*. My grandparents acquired this beautiful, well-behaved Boxer. Lovely dog, well trained, kind to literally everyone (dogs and people alike), just all around a perfect pet. However, they didn't want to keep it, as they felt they couldn't manage an animal of that size at their age. Reasonable. My grandmother was asking around the family for who could take it in, and my dad (who has sworn to not let another dog in our house), even offered to drive from 2 states over and pick it up; it was that good of a dog. My grandfather, on the other hand, decided it was taking too long to get rid of, and drove it a few miles out of town and just dumped it on the side of the road with a small bag of dogfood. This wasn't out of character for him, but it was a final straw for me. When we traveled for his funeral, I refused to attend the service. That dog deserved better than he ever did.

For the "Replace the grass with fake grass" thingy While it could be done, fake grass needs to be replaced every now and then (at best every 10 years but since golf courses have cars going around, it would be way less), and since its mostly made out of plastic, good luck trying to do something about the crap-ton of plastic grass that a golf field would use. This is ignoring that it tears over time wich means it might need replacement more often, and that it still needs to be cleaned so itll waste water either way. Also, it damages your soil which could lead to microplastics building up and causing the area to be infertile. Basically, artificial grass is just a worse idea. In fact, i just looked up what is it made of and i got this: "Artificial grass is made from polyethylene polypropylene or nylon (polyamide), and fragments from this material can make their way into the soil, and beyond, in the form of microplastic pollution. The shelf life for artificial grass is estimated to be 10-20 years and the product is difficult to reuse."

A Sysiphean task refers to a endless task that is impossible to finish, as a reference to the story of Sysiphus, who was condemned to eternally push a large boulder up a mountain, only for it to roll right back down again when he reaches the top. Icarian refers to the story of Icarus, when escaping the labyrinth with his father Daedalus, he flew too high and the wax holding the wings together melted, causing him to fall to his death. Cassandrean reffers to Cassandra, a girl who the god apollo liked. When she turned down gifts from him, he got angry and cursed her to always have perfect prophecies, but no one takes them seriously or believes her. Id like to add the Orphean task. A task seemingly simple but you will likely fail at right before you complete it, as a reference to the tale of Orpheus, who went to the underworld to get his wife back. Hades let them go one the sole condition that he never look back to make sure shes following him for the entire journey out.

Hercules/Heracles was a roman/greek demigod that was extremely strong. His myth revolves around completing several tasks, mainly through incredible feats of strength. So a herculean task is one that requires a great effort to complete. According to greek mythology sisyphus was a greek king that was punished after his death to forever roll a boulder up a hill. But each time the boulder would get kind of high up it would roll back down. So a sisyphean task is one that you know is kind of hopeless. Icarus was the son of a very smart engineer who was locked in a tower for mythological reasons. His father made them wings using wax so they could fly off and escape, and told him not to fly too high because the sun would melt them. But Icarus decided that it was probably fun to fly up so he did and his wings melted and he died. Cassandra was a priest and fortune teller that was cursed to never have anyone believe her, even though all her predictions were completely accurate.

[@TormentDaProtogen]

15:02 you asked for references. SO. 1. Icarus was Daedalus’ young boy. Daedalus had just finished building the labyrinth that was to be used by king Minos to trap the Minotaur, but Minos, in his complete evilness, refused to let either of them out, laughing about how they’d need wings to ever leave. Daedalus thought about it and said “hey, that’s actually a pretty good idea” and made Icarus and himself wings, binding feathers to their arms using wax (the wax part is the only part we’re sure of in this scene, nowadays). Knowing how easily it’d melt, Daedalus warned Icarus never to fly too close to the sun and just stay low. They decided to take off after everything was ready, but, euphoric from the experience and completely oblivious to danger, Icarus flew higher and higher as his confidence grew. The sun eventually melted his wax and, to Daedalus’ horror, his son plummeted into the Mediterranean Sea. Daedalus, heartbroken at the knowledge that nothing could be done for him anymore, flew back home but never built anything again, in grief. 2. Cassandra was (I know less about this one) a woman that was cursed with foresight- but nobody would ever believe her warnings, and once the events foreseen happened, the people involved would always assume it was her fault. One day, she gets a terrible vision: Troy swarming with enemy soldiers, the doors wide open and a wooden horse between (sounds familiar?). Everyone assumed she was insane and made no preparations, heeded none of her warnings and, when the day came, paid no attention to a large, wheeled, wooden horse being “gifted” to them by their mortal enemy. As she foresaw, the Greeks flooded the city in the cover of night, crawling out of their statue and conquered the city. As for Cassandra, I think she might have died, either that or she was never seen again. (I just realized, Talon1124 already gave you the details. If you are reading this, talon, I had no idea you had already done this and did not mean to steal.)

I needed this video. I needed this so bad I have been losing my faith in humanity and thanks to this video someone has returned to me so thank you to all these people and thank you for collecting all this information from all these people and put it on here. It was truly need to be out that people need to see these. They need to see that there are still good people on this planet.

not Jack putting on a fake accent for an Australian character WHEN HE'S AUSTRALIAN 😭😭

I thought that it was a bad Russian accent.

I bet that guy who steals cops guns with a dinosaur was a really weird kid. Maybe even fun sometimes, in a frightful kind of way.

[@Greyhawksci]

8:06 Yes. That is exactly what happens. Prices go way up. Even if the skill gains are marginal, it can still be 100% worthwhile for companies that size if a slightly better lawyer or slightly bigger army of lawyers saves you a few hundred million dollars just once.

26:54 - this was an ATM down Suchiehall ("suck-ee-hall") Street (one of the high streets) in Glasgow, in an area of the street where people are leaving clubs and getting taxis (so basically you go into a taxi that's cash only, they drive you seconds down the road to this ATM, and you kinda feel pressured to use it, idk if they're colluding with the shop owner or it's a coincidence) I love the people of Glasgow, the city I call home. There was an incident in the past couple of years where a couple of guys were getting deported by the Home Office (reason: they hate immigrants) and someone posted on social media that the HO van had shown up, and asked people to come and surround the van to stop it leaving with the two men, within an hour or so the entire street was filled with people, the police created a line of officers around the van, and eventually had to give up and return the men to their flat, then the police and Home Office van were allowed to leave. Scotland also has some great history of community-lead activism basically ending the Thatcher government, as well as possibly the oldest history ever on fighting England

I've had so may people leave just horrible comments, and when I turn around and say something kind or wish them well with some sort of blessing, they suddenly stop responding. Heck, some of them even like the post. (Granted - I have gotten a few "snarky" comebacks from the people. I just ignore those.)

15:11 you hit the nail on the head there, they're all references to Greek mythology. A Herculean task is incredibly difficult or impossible to surmount, like the tasks Hercules was given were supposed to be. A sisyphean task is monotonous, boring, and neverending, as is sisyphus's punishment for having attempted to outplay the gods so often. Icarus had his dad make wings out of wax to escape a prison but flew too close to the sun so the wings melted and he died (hence having fun with a task you know you'll fail anyway) and Cassandra is an Oracle (a person of prophecy) who was doomed to basically have no one ever believe her words.

Bellerophonian task: take on something impossible out of sheer hubris, succeed, get punished by authorities Polyphemian task: eat so much that your only remaining choice is to eat yourself Apollonian task: aggressively pursue a romantic or sexual interest who is not interested Atalantan task: start a task, get distracted multiple times, realize that your sweetie has been doing this on purpose.

7:48 it costs money to keep a legal case like that going. Big companies can basically stall until you have too little money left to continue fighting back. Basically, financial bullying.

I don't remember exactly how or when but a few years back someone stole a car. To give more context this happened in the city of Bari in southern Italy in 2021. They stole the car of a disabled lady. The lady went online to plead for her car to be given back and the thief returned it immediately with a note inside. They were sorry they stole the car of a disabled woman and didn't know. Which is why they returned the stolen property to begin with. Life can be truly unexpected.

Steal from someone who won’t notice if you ever have to. If you steal a table, make sure the table won’t be missed. But giving that table to someone like the guy in the bare apartment could change their entire life.
