I Found The Craziest Recipe in Culinary History
"Women will own everything in 2025!" We couldn't even elect a woman to president I 2025.
If I end up being buried, I'd want my tombstone to say "If you came here to drink, smoke weed, or get kinky, you can do it here, I'm cool."
first im hearing of it
There's a grave stone in Pittsburg, KS that says "If Kelso's egg mash won't make 'em lay, they're roosters!"
11:24 An Ellen Fiechter from Lancaster Township, Indiana lived from 1932 - 1988, dying at 55. Very likely the same person as she would have been 18 when she graduated from high school in 1951. Sad that she died relatively young.
Thank you for including stories about people like me 🥺 It really means a lot
he is like a fuckin ogre
The wireless guy and the purple hair guy were joking, but little did he knew that he was the of the rare people at the time correctly predicting the future, everyone was always completely wrong with their bizarre obsession with everyone having personal flying machines but still thought that planes would develop no further from what they had in those days, its interesting when watching these kind of videos, no one thought of internet and phones being the major thing, but that skyline is eerily right, specially the building that resembles like the old WTC, incredible. I wonder what prediction we have now that are completely wrong, just because the current trend is obvious, it doesnt mean that its gona last or even develop further, what is the thing that we think we gona have in future and that we are massively wrong about, just like they were with flying machines and some other things are gona be more important that we cant even think of now
I predict in 2125 that Hatsune Miku will still exist and will be the most popular thing in the world and everyone will love her and Miku and Eminem had a rap battle but it ended in them going out to eat mc Donald’s together so they decided to collab and Hatsune Miku raps faster then Eminem in the song so Eminem fans start hating on Miku but Miku fans start hating on Eminem fans for being so annoying about Hatsune Miku rapping faster so the other vocaloids think this is their chance to get more liked then miku but Miku is just better so she drop kicks all of them and everyone is like wow Miku that so was cool and she gets even more fans then before so she is more popular and better then Eminem so Eminem is defeated by miku and then she starts to control the world and she gets more rich then Elon musk so Elon musk decides to use his space ships and bomb the world but Miku jumps into space and beats up the space ship with her bare fists and it’s like live streaming every where in the solar system and they do a duel in space on a random rock floating somewhere idk and Miku beats him and she grows bigger then the earth and she’s like world is mine now yaay and everyone is so happy until Miku punches the world in a black hole on accident bc she like slightly hit the earth and it went flying and we all r screaming and the sky slowly turns more dark and then see black hole and everyone tries to get on Elon musk space ships to escape but the blackhole is too strong and then we see that Miku is swimming through space and she picks up the black and throws it but Elon musk is angry with miku so he grabs the black hole and throws it back at Miku and miku dodges but then Eminem steps in and instead of fighting he raps for people watching the live stream that’s is streaming the battle and slowly bc of Eminem epic raps it becomes a rap battle instead of a space battle and uhm miku wins yea idk
In other words, nothing has changed.
(except the price of popcorn)
In 1925 the old people complained about the young people being frivolous and bad with money, in 2025 it's the young people complaining about the boomers being frivolous and bad with money.
I have a lot of experience with old cemeteries, and in my experience, a sink in a cemetery COULD indicate the body in the grave has been disinterred and moved, but in 95% or more cases, there was no grave vault, and the casket simply rotted or rusted away, and the grave caved in. It is very common, unless the sink is in a memorial garden, in which case most require a burial vault or a grave liner to help prevent sinking of the grave.
Would love a link to that last article.
You need to collaborate with A24 and get this movie made!
Every generation complains about violent teenage gangs committing smash and grab robberies. Kids will be kids!
and here we are seeing this shit kinda wild ngl
I hope this isn't bad UA-cam etiquette, but I thought of your channel when I stumbled upon this video recently. ua-cam.com/video/dyGlVWvGZbs/v-deo.htmlsi=Qc_9BKi1sK1RG8K3 I wonder if you've ever heard of this trick or tried it. It blew my mind, and I can't wait to try it soon in Rosehill Cemetery here in Macon, GA
As someone who works with deed recordings, deed rock is so cool. While many deeds from that era have gone lost to time, the fact that this one is quite literally etched in stone and still viewable today is remarkable.
Duality! Sick video brotato
what is with those clothes. Is that the regular guy look
What a closing!
Why would you like to be in a place like this
There is a zinker revolutionary war memorial from 1905 in one of the cemeteries in my home town!!
No! Bad fluffy!
The last one was spot on. Thank you.
Well, I know what to do the next time someone interrupts my sermon on why we must love our enemy and pray for the one who persecutes us: 👋 ➡️ 🥔 🥔 🥔 ➡️ 😮
I haven't watched yet. but I'm rooting for AUKENBRANDT!!!
damn
10:15 that’s because those who wrote about Lincoln in an differing light were imprisoned
Wow! What a ride. Fantastic story, and fantastic storytelling. Bravo!
"Dumber-ston" is the perfect name for that town.
I remember watching this when it was originally published. Glad to watch it again :3
I see you are unfamiliar with french canadian math sir
I shouldnt have waste this on the french hahaha trotsky ahahahah
4:48 Yeah, I don't think they predicted EVERYTHING about LA
The feminine rise was correct - Women control most of the media markets, and it is guided to them specifically. That portion is correct, women do control most finances. (you can google it) In recent years, women have accounted for more than 85% of purchases per TechCrunch across various categories in the U.S. alone. Projecting further into the future, women are estimated to control 75% of discretionary spending by 2028. Women now drive the world economy. Globally, they control about $20 trillion in annual consumer spending, and that figure could climb as high as $28 trillion
11:20 While I don't know the cause of death, David Richard Eiler passed away on May 10th, 1998.
8:43 this moment I somehow got it right
To be fair, women have a lot more power and money in today's time. I mean, look at our Vice President
They were drinking actual cocaine and eating meth pills. That said, I'm easily doing over 2,000 miles.
Bob Hope said that?!
lmao women aren't even allowed to control their own bodies in 2025. They own what the gub'mint allows them to own.
I find it interesting how the belief that the buried dead can sap a person's life-force is very, very old yet remained fresh in people's' minds until not that long ago. You can find similar stories to these dated all the way back to medieval Germany and surrounding regions, they even had their own vampire analogue "Nachzehrer".
God I love these little daily-life tidbits of history from not that long ago.

Hey man...... you found my little hiding spot out in uxbridge MA. Haha.... never thought I'd see this on UA-cam. Love these little caves & chambers all over new England. Up the street from my house in Mendon MA there some super interesting, little stone shaped igloos above ground with a stream running perfectly through them & a giant stone wall going around them. I think it's literally called "the big stone wall trail" it's really awesome & interesting. I went to valley tech in upton...... that was our skipping school spot.....ohh what fun 😊
Apple seeds have arsenic in them and while it takes a lot wonder if that could have contributed. Vinegar stage comes after alcohol stage in lacto-fermentation process and if it were leftover hard cider might point to fact it was big batch. Wonder if he was partaking on the that brew before it turned to vinegar too...probably the neighbors!
Both my grandfather and my mother did a lot of crossword puzzles. I love them too, but not as much as they did.. my mother was born in 1918.
I agree, i hate golf and its boring.
This wasn't even that long ago in the grand scheme of things. Like 4 dads ago not even. Now think what people would have done 1000 years ago, 10k years ago, 50k years, 100k? And to think some how, some way, these humans built the monoliths and pyramids we can't figure out how to build now.
We do need to point out the motte and bailey here: the claim was not just that "sweet summer child" predated ASOIAF, but that it was a common expression. Many people claimed to remember their grandmothers saying it. Finding one single use of that term in a random newspaper in 1850 may prove that George R.R. Martin wasn't the first person to use it, but it does not exactly prove that everybody's grandma was saying "sweet summer child".
