The Anarchestra: hundreds of strange musical instruments

How Do Dragonflies See The World?

rancor says...

I guess that's why, when bugs are bothering our face/hair, we flail around haplessly while the bugs always seem to get away with it. Are most bugs like this, then? Does it have more to do with creature size than specific evolved traits?

"The Late Show" Open Director's Cut

rancor says...

This is great. Long-time Colbert fan.

I've been watching the new late show and after a while I noticed some "Where's Waldo?" Colberts hidden in the intro. I didn't spot any new ones in this version, but the three subtle ones I know of are in there.

The obvious ones (basketball, piano) don't count.

Hints: 1. Ole! 2. Tablecloth 3. Big flag wave!

Why I REALLY am quitting social media -- Essena ONeill

rancor says...

I don't quite get the problem here, and I can't suffer through videos like this. Collect money, retire before you're 20, then do what you REALLY want to do for the next 80 years? Is that what she's doing I guess?

Self-driving, drifting DeLorean

rancor says...

Hard to tell. Obviously a new motor, but why swap in a different gas engine? I think at 1:25 it sounds like an electric motor, and at the very end it sounds like it clicks off.

A Google Image search returns a couple similar-looking results but nothing conclusive. Also they don't show a battery, but it might be a small one for small experiments. Maybe even self-contained in that housing, since most GIS results show simple cylindrical motors.

Did they turn it into an electric car too? It looked like it in the build, but there is some motor noise at the end of the drift (too much loud music during the drift to hear), so I'm confused.

Woman Executed by Cop Because She “Might Be Smoking Pot"

rancor says...

I feel like the title for this one should indicate "man who is a cop kills his wife". But that sure doesn't make the circumstances any better, it's just a very different situation from an on-duty cop killing a random civilian (that's what I expected from the current title).

How To Play Frisbee All By Yourself (and other trick shots)

rancor says...

Throwing a disc all day (more like days) actually sounds like an awesome time.

No sarcasm tag.

Also, I can attest that by the way those discs fly he's got magnificent technique. Tons of effortless wrist snap.

Why You Don't Sleep With Stupid

rancor says...

It's okay, she only cheated on the OLD boyfriend. The current boyfriend, when he sees this, will be completely cool with it.

He tried so hard to explain that to her, I still don't think she got it.

EPIC FAIL! Twitch Live Streamer Accidentally Burns His House

rancor says...

Hard to count the fails. It's not THAT easy to burn your house down, it certainly helps to do at least 5 moronic things simultanously.
