Damien’s absolute mental breakdown over gusher people is hilarious to me for all the worst and best reasons

[@skypuppeteer]

I have had those photos saved on my phones for _years_ to potentially harass, weird out, or annoy people with, and I'm so happy that they not only got featured on Reddit and now KZbin, but also that they gave Damien a breakdown lmao

[@Wanton110]

10:50 they did a child abuse line advert where if you were over a certain height it was just an advert saying if you know of a child being abused call whatever number, but if you were under a certain height.. you know.. a child it would describe what abuse was and if they were suffering any of them to call the police

It's still my favourite story to tell that my bff accidentally yeeted a hamster across a room because she got startled when it bit her. The hamster survived but that mental image of a flying hamster really tickles me😂

Ah yes if we’re telling hamster stories, as a child my friend took hers out of its cage when she wasn’t supposed to and upon being caught by her mum she put a pillow over it and sat in front of it on the couch to hide it, suffocating it to death. Honestly kind of heartbreaking tbh.

9:37 I'm almost certain that's an ogre faced spider. They look so grumpy and it's adorable. Some spiders have a resting position where legs rest in pairs and ogre faced spiders are seen doing this too.

I actually really love this unironically. This advertising is not only cool but incredibly informative. They had one advertisement where they did a side-by-side comparison of pills it is really eye-opening and scary to see how similar pills look to candy in general, to the point where even as an adult if you didn't know better you would think those were candy as well, let alone a toddler.

About the brain in a jar, because you are essentially your brain keeping it alive in a jar would mean the person is still alive, it would also however be the worst kind of hell as unless they augment it a bit it would be a brain completely isolated from any of the senses at all, so it would be the most extreme form of isolation.

"What about TSA?" I know, as I have a friend who travels a lot for work and has had their knee replaced with a titanium one due to a car accident. The answer is they get wanded every single time.

Cleaning your ears with q-tips is safe as long as you're doing it safely. Basically, just don't force it. What I do is try to get some warm water in my ear canal while I'm showering, and then let it drain. I do that a couple times. Then when I'm out of the shower, I use a q-tip to gently wipe away whatever little bit is left over, and basically to just dry the inside of my ears out. Doctor's have told me I have the cleanest ears they've ever seen.

8:50 brain in a jar. This is really and truly nightmare fuel. Imagine being fully conscious and aware with zero sensory input. Being kept alive by a blood pumping machine….

[@pagedmaj]

You can't truly be "aware", you need senses for that and senses rely on eyes, ears, nose, tongue and nerves. Basically you need some form of "body" to be aware. The brain is the organ that is most determined to keep us alive so it will continue to "dream" based on the data it stored up until now, the "memories". You'd be stuck in an endless dream, this would be your "reality" and you'd be non the wiser.

[@Guineh76]

@@pagedmaj I don’t know if that would necessarily true. You definitely would not be aware of the outside world, but I think you’d be aware that something is really, really wrong, you might not be able to figure it out, but you’d be in complete darkness, unable to hear, feel or move. That’s an absolutely terrifying prospect.

@@Guineh76 you'd be asleep dear, it wouldn't be "darkness" but a dream an endless never ending dream, are you aware there's something going on while asleep? I doubt it.

@@Guineh76 define "awake" for me really quick. I'm quite sure, "being aware of surroundings" would be somewhere in there. How exactly are you going to be "aware of surroundings" without seeing, hearing, smelling, or touching? Because you don't have the components necessary for that, or hunger/thirst, need a stomach for that. Also, they into account what happened before your brain is taken out, you will have to be put under, one way or another. It's impossible to BE awake. Sorry but it ain't happening.

There're real reasons for you to not get such ridiculously long nails like the thumbnail: 1. It's uncomfortable and unwieldy, you won't be able to hold things normally, do things without the nail getting in the way and not clenching a fist right. 2. It's risky, I've had one of my long fingernail chipped away and had to cut it to prevent it from breaking. 3. If you were to grow it, it takes a LOOOONG time, anything longer than a few centimeters take months.
