People Almost Dying on Skydives and BASE jumps
Some amazingly, amazingly stupid stuff in here. Wow.
Doug Stanhope - The Oklahoma Atheist
People love to bash Americans for lack of geography and science knowledge, but this smart British fellow just said "Hurricane" with reference to Oklahoma and nobody bats an eye?
How our society fails its men and boys -- the trailer
I don't know, but not entirely from pressure to "be a man". Just look at girls. I think they endure even worse bullying and I don't think it's because of the pressure they're under to "be a man".
Where do you think that bullying comes from though.
How our society fails its men and boys -- the trailer
I can't really identify with this. I've never felt a pressure to act like a "real man". Even when in a toxic situation like Middle School, I never felt like "being a man" was the issue. I never felt like I had tons of pent up rage that I couldn't express because I had to "man up". And I certainly can't stand this pseudoscience BS about "if you don't cry you have all of this stuff pent up inside you".
If you want to help boys, help stop bullying. I don't think the two concepts are that closely linked.
Also, I feel like this could shame boys who use bravado and playful roughhousing as a defense mechanism.
Working Hard Or Failing Miserably
Yeah, the garbage man one was a rather brilliant prank. If I recall, he's a real garbage man but he's doing it to his own house. Then he sent the video to his boss which is hilariously brave.
WTF Happened to Movie Posters?
I think another issue is simply the realization that faces draw attention. As humans, we are compelled to examine faces. Having prominent faces in your poster just makes sense, even though it dramatically limits your design space.
Moving Illusions
The conclusion about the Müller-Lyer Illusion (that it is a learned cultural illusion) is controversial. The presenter states it as fact: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/M%C3%BCller-Lyer_illusion
POV from the crazy christmas tree helicopter guy
I'm really surprised that this is more economical than simply having well spread out vehicle paths through the farm. A helicopter + a skilled pilot must be damn expensive to operate.
YouTube Rewind 2013: What Does 2013 Say?
I love this.
Xbox One Kinect Calls Foul on Bad Language
I think this is hilarious. There is an immersion factor to it -- a coach or player could be given a technical foul for this. As already stated, it's VERY relevant for multiplayer.
I would hope this type of thing could be turned off in single player (maybe by simply unplugging the Kinect?).
Fox Using Magnetic Field Resonance to Target Prey
What kind of babble is this? Be specific, how is he actually using the magnetic field to tell where the prey is? Why does that depend on being North Aligned? How does facing north help plot a trajectory? Sounds like pseudo-science BS.
109 yd Return on Missed Field Goal Attempt - Auburn to Win
I know you're joking, but that was hardly the kicker's fault. It was a 57 yard attempt! That's hard even in the NFL!
Also, it was the kicker's third ever kick at the collegiate level. He was in there because the normal kicker had gone 0 for 3 for the night.
... And the field goal kicker was never heard from again...
Miley Cyrus - Wrecking Ball (Chatroulette Version)
Steve Kardinyl's chatroulette videos should be part of Voyager's golden disc. It's so great to see the sincere smiles.
How to pull out car from a frozen lake
What are the little nets on sticks? Is it to remove ice from the water?
After Hours - 10 Most Ridiculous Moments in Classic Movies
"Uh.. Hi, I'm studying to be a veterinarian but like... a terrible one" Is one of the best lines from this series. And I love all of these!
