> [@GuanoLad](#): > > I would appreciate it if people don’t link to videos with just the word “this” and no description of what we’re clicking. Ain’t nobody got time for that. Sorry, it was, like I said, just a random thing I stumbled over a few years ago, and thought was pretty neat. The point of the post was that there are lots of things out there like that, and that uncovering those random things is what doesn’t get old. Description: Some pretty cool yoga moves. ---

I’ve probably watched 1000’s of My Little Pony fansub videos. ---

Chiropractic adjustment videos are more entertaining than I expected. Something about the sound of a good solid crack or pop – or multiple cracks and pops – is satisfying. ---

Sneaker videos,especially Sole Supremacy beater box unboxings. I’m not even a sneakerhead, but there’s something oddly soothing about watching guys - it’s almost always guys - unpacking, examining, and talking about shoes they plan to clean and resell. There’s one particular vlogger, [Mike Rich](http://https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=y1uxGxNLSxU), who lives not far from me, and posts frequent videos of his shoe purchases. I can’t say why I subscribe to his channel, save that he is so passionate and enthusiastic about his hobby, and seems like an all-around decent man, and watching one of his videos always puts me in a good mood. I also watch ultramarathoning videos, and follow a professional runner named Sage Canaday, who’s been training to qualify for the 2020 U.S. Olympic marathon trials, by running 2:19 or under. He had his first shot today at the Houston Marathon, but missed it by 50 seconds. ---

> [@QuickSilver](#): > > I’ve just subscribed. Love the dice idea. How did you come up with that? Thanks for subscribing - I appreciate it. The Invention Dice were an extension of an idea I learned from one of Edward De Bono’s books about creativity and innovation - he described a process in which you take an existing invention and remove or randomise one of its features - then try to figure out ways to make it work again - I carried that idea to the extreme of randomising _all_ of the features, then trying to work it back to reality. The feature I am most proud of for the invention dice is that they can invent themselves (Wooden Random Pocket Manual Personal Game) 😃 ---

> [@kayaker](#): > > OMG, I watch those!! I’ve wondered if he purposely populates his barn with rats and mice. I just found this video: [https://youtu.be/FEKanJI7rxs](https://youtu.be/FEKanJI7rxs) Basically he doesn’t have to. He lives out in farmland and has neighbors with barns that are infested with rodents. He traps the rodents in exchange for the farmers not poisoning them. Mice reproduce so fast that even when he traps every one that he can, they’re back within a few weeks. ---

When I have the time I watch lectures on science, predominantly physics but sometimes other stuff as well. I’ve been enjoying the Royal Institute’s collection lately and have spent many an hour in the past going through Richard Feynman’s lectures. If I have less time I will watch music videos, I almost always end up watching the same old nostalgic 1980s stuff, which is kind of interesting because in the 1980s I was very much into 1970s music. The only time I’ve really been into 80’s music is now. That’s not to say I don’t enjoy Russian car cam videos and videos of animals being idiots, but I don’t get drawn down the rabbit hole with those the way I do with 80s music and physics lectures. ---

I like basset hound vids, howlers and grumpies - needs a lot of volume Also Pam Aus with her bald eagle vids in Unalaska - I've seen her porch with 6 or seven of them chilling out, along with her cats and various foxes [https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCZEM\_gswfc\_hoEVKlh8kZpQ](https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCZEM_gswfc_hoEVKlh8kZpQ) I also like to watch this chap cycling up the hardest hill climbs > **[Sean Owens](https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCZNTC0HYHqFP7r0RfUkdnWg)** > > Mountain and road biking videos. Mainly in the North of England, Lakes, Dales, Peaks and Bowland. We're truly blessed up here! but my favorite is the bike racing, like on the Nurburgring, or even better, try hanging on for a full speed lap of the Isle of Man - that’d leave you a bit breathless [![](https://img.youtube.com/vi/inc9cGasgsA/hqdefault.jpg "Fastest motorcycle lap of the Nürburgring. 7m10s BTG Yamaha YZF R1.") ](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=inc9cGasgsA) This lap of the the Isle of Man is just awesome, in the true old fashioned sense of the word - it takes him 17 minutes to do one lap, they have to do 5 laps for one complete run - you will struggle to get around just the one.

> [@The\_Niply\_Elder](#): > > Ha, yes! To be honest though 11’8" and 10’6" bridges are just criminal. Makes one wonder whether an intern designed those or what. Just binged those last night. According to the website, the 11’8" one was designed and built long ago before regulations on such things, and presumably before tall trucks. (And now it’s too cost-prohibitive to raise the bridge or lower the road due to a water main under the road.)
