Fascinating or interesting YouTube videos

[Holy Knight]

What are some of the fascinating tidbits of knowledge or feats you have seen on YouTube? Here's a few I found interesting:

A theory on how Stonehenge was built (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lRRDzFROMx0)

The different ways some countries count their money. (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FcdHDJasOD8)

Some basic lie detection. (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tW8KYtvAsrw)

EDIT: Just to clarify, the intent of this thread is to post information, useful or not so long as it is interesting and serves to enlighten and/or instruct the viewer as to a particular aspect of the human experience.

[Trefellin]

Yeah, those videos are interesting. I saw that money counting video a couple days ago and it blew my mind. Kind of like when I realized that people in other countries don't have the luxury of bagged milk. Wow man... just, wow.

Most of those seemed pretty apparent that he was lying

[Ken-Ohki]

First one's crazy. Just pure crazy.

New Math (http://ca.youtube.com/watch?v=Tr1qee-bTZI) The long explanation.
New Math (http://ca.youtube.com/watch?v=GAm3KWiDPKU&feature=related) The short explanation.

Long story short, I was asked to help with my cousin's math homework. His father didn't understand it. I didn't understand it. After watching these, I still don't understand, but I don't feel bad about it anymore.

One of these things is the gayest thing you have ever saw.
The other is even gayer. I won't say which is which.

You do know he's a Canadian hippy, right?

And here's one I was going to post on St. Paddy's day but forgot:

The best fanfic adaptation, period. (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OHxyZaZlaOs)

[Trefellin]

^ This one (http://youtube.com/watch?v=QtfEU-z8B88) is almost as humorous.

[Mikosage]

At the risk of shameless advertising, here are the first two installments in a series of comedy AMV's I created called "Anime is Insane".

Anime is Insane! (http://youtube.com/watch?v=-PtKITg8Z2A)

People tell me they're pretty funny. I dunno. I just get really bored...

This has got to be the best song ever. (http://ie.youtube.com/watch?v=MrPJn4gNwxU&feature=related)

This was Impressive, and after reading the commentary, most still seem to think Giants made it lol.

http://i.ytimg.com/vi/bov9M2gEgcE/default.jpg (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bov9M2gEgcE):O :O :blink:

Also very impressive, how they were able to calculate the size ratio and model it on a computer. This makes life feel so irrelevant and at the same time amazing. It also makes me wonder if size depends on life as well, in other words nothing the size of Earth can be living. Life needs to be small to be living.

I always thought earth was smaller then they had compared with Jupiter.

[CrossboneGundam]

bagged milk. Wow man... just, wow.

...what? Bagged milk?

[Old Ape Face]

You do know he's a Canadian hippy, right?

Are you Serious? He's obviously Mexican.

[Trefellin]

...what? Bagged milk?

I won't bother explaining it. Bagged milk is unimaginable to the unenlightened and uninitiated, eh.

Are you Serious? He's obviously Mexican.

:lol:

[Lord Timaeus]

Oh, and I almost forgot. I promised Soluzar I'd be posting this (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h9M0wh6disE) at every opportunity until he likes it. He knows why.

I think a picture is needed.

Yeah, and I read somewhere that it takes about 210 days to walk the entire circumference of the earth if you walked nonstop everyday but it'll take you 168,000 years to walk around VV Cephei--the biggest star...

In Canada, it is not uncommon for a consumer to purchase milk in a bag. It produces less plastic garbage.

[Animematt55]

lol....no
watch his acts =P

[Old Ape Face]

lol....no
watch his acts =P

I saw, and someone said he was a Canadian Hippie, I was like are you serious he's Canadian? (jokingly) I said he looks Mexican to me.

Anyone remember the Numa Numa guy?

[Holy Knight]

Alright, I'm going to reiterate the purpose of this thread :

What are some of the fascinating tidbits of knowledge or feats you have seen on YouTube?

By this I mean actual, useful (or not) information, so long as it is interesting and pertains to enlighten and instruct on a particular subject. Not a random song you found interesting or the latest YouTube fad, unless it is relevant to the topic.

So, yes to Rubick's Cube solving tutorials, but no to the above Numa Numa song, please.

[Trefellin]

^You're no fun at all! :(

This stuff is wicked. (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S84UMbF0s2k)

You can burn through near anything with just rust, powder aluminum and a strip of magnesium.

[Holy Knight]

^You're no fun at all! :(

Oh, I don't mind what I consider off-topic comments and videos. I just don't want them to eclipse the original intent of this thread, since they appear to be about equal in amount to the relevant stuff by now.

The fun of this thread is the interest it can generate in multiple topics, not inane commentaries on a song that serves no purpose.

So there's really no problem with enlightening the masses about bagged milk. (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5DxCT2Ljh_A) :P

I was going to post Powerthirst, in fact I did post it, but then I said, Nah that's just hilarious not enlightening, so I deleted it.

[Bisu]

Interesting physics (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c3asSdngzLs&feature=related). This was once posted on AN awhile back.

Admittedly I can't thoroughly explain it.

[Tidusauron12]

I don't know what to say... Crossbone got me into this one. :lol:

stated that his inspiration for Giygas' speech came from a traumatic childhood experience where he mistakenly walked into an adult movie theatre and caught a glimpse of a rape scene in the 1957 movie Kenpei and the Dismembered Beauty (憲兵とバラバラ死美人, Kenpei to Barabara Shibijin?)

I'm scared now.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cCn1DO2Rj6k

I read some bits and pieces on the Orgonite website... does it have any connection to Scientology, by chance?

[Leader Desslock]

^ Nope, not at all.

Orgonomy was a pseudoscience dreamed up by a Froot Loop named Wilhelm Reich back in the late 30s. He was later tossed in the clink for quack medicine and fraud.

[Bernard_Monsha]

Orgone is false, This (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qsPwtJCuC-U) is the only truth in the universe.


Do not drink scalding hot coffee while watching this or you will have third degree burns in your sinus
