I can answer your electric eel question! So, grossly simplified-nerve signals are basically tiny electrical impulses, right? Electric eels have a hyper-specialized nervous system that lets them simultaneously fire off a shitload of electrical impulses all at once through these specialized organs and cells. It’s cool as hell.
Thats not even the weirdest aspect of their Biology. Let him know about how nobody truly knows how eels reproduce & how no one can find their genitalia. Eels don't grow sex organs until later in life & actually have 5 vastly different life cycles to the point we thought they were different species until recently
Funnily enough quite a number of aquatic animals can generate enough electricity to stun prey or zap potential predators, it's got to be one of the more metal adaptations evolution has doled out to certain species :3
I agree with the "neurotypical folks don't pick up on social cues" so much! I have ADHD and play with my hair almost all the time because it's a stim. When another neurodivergent person asks me about it, it takes one sentence to explain. However, when a person that isn't neurodivergent person asks about, it's a 30 minute conversation about me trying to explain that indeed do not have lice and that it's a stim.
I'm 37 and have worked at bars since I was 19 and am still explaining the exact same thing to new coworkers smh. Makes me feel wholesome as fuck the second I work with someone that instantly "gets it". Lift each other up.
As far as the aesthetics of blind ppl go: my uncle was blind and his gf would be like "yo what kinda stuff do you wanna wear?" and he would describe what was fashionable when he was 8 (bc he lost his vision at that age) so basically he's dressing like its still 1978 and occasionally when we were out id be like "Oh this shirt is so nice! its your size!" so he would buy it so I guess he just said fuck it I cant see yall all can decide my aesthetic.
I was kind of thinking it would be shaped around the people they hang out with, like if they have goth friends than I guess they might dress goth too. I guess the fit of the clothes matters too, like maybe they like how a corset or a choker feels. (Just a guess though)
@@choppy2143 True, I was more imagining them going shopping with friends or buying based on description (ie asking for a black shirt based on what your friends tell you they wear even though you can’t see it)
My partner is legally blind and will eventually lose all sight. But that mf is all about pink/black emo and PVC 😉. When you have people who know you well, they know what you like and can help curate a wardrobe. Like come on!, being blind doesn't mean you dont have some kind of vanity!
I'm genuinely curious the people who check your bags at the airport if someone brings a like a sex toy are they ever impressed like if I bring an 28 inch rubber schlong do they ever think to themselves "damn you can take all that I'm impressed"
Not the air port, but I worked for a moving company. We would sometimes pack for people. While it wasn't an every day, or even weekly thing, we would see sex toys. I know its not as exciting of an answer, but truth is after a bit we just don't care as much. We obviously don't want to touch them because I have no idea how clean they are. But for the most part after so many times we just chuckle and continue with work. If it's a bigger toy, I might have a bit of a bigger reaction, but I'm probably not gonna really let anyone know. I'm gonna continue on with work. But if I saw a 28 inch dildo, you bet your ass I'm showing my coworkers. Not gonna shame the person, but at the same time God damn.
Probably depends on how long they’re doing it. It’s like if they’re doing it long enough, they’ve seen so much weird shit, it loses it’s effect on them.
1) I've never done heroin but I got a massive dose of morphine for kidney stones, and I remember lying in the bed being able to see the wall with my eyes closed, and it was both pitch black and perfectly lit, it was cold but I felt perfectly warm and content despite having no blanket, and I could see the wallpaper in the room moving in 3D. It was like in Interview with the Vampire where Louis tries to describe seeing for the first time with his "vampire eyes". It was warm and beautiful and I've never felt more at peace, and then the next day I actively felt like I was dying so I do not recommend it. 2) I used to have pica as a kid and would eat hard polycarbonate-type plastic, specifically pony beads and the tubes of gel pens (not the ink tube, the outer one), and I never noticed anything in my poop but I guess I never looked that hard 🤷 3) Neurotypical people are 100% worse at communicating; it's not just you.
as someone with autism i had this weird arc where i started out not understanding how neurotypical people communicate, to painstakingly learning it, to absolutely not giving a shit and deciding my way of communication is far more suitable lmao. i don't care about making neurotypical people more comfortable any more - they had a lifetime of making me feel uncomfortable for existing so i'll tell them straight. i don't bother with cues these days - if i want someone to drop something, i just tell them, cus i know they won't get it and i have to be harsh to get the point across.
I always wear a hat similar to yours at work (I work in a fridge). There's a guy I work with who often asks why. I've explained several times it's because I like to have short hair and it keeps my head and ears warm. He's convinced I'm hiding something. What would I be trying to hide? A family of sea turtles?! A small pile of glitter?! Blurgh, normal people...
I love the idea that your work colleague being suspicious of the explanation that you're wearing a hat for the reason it was designed to be worn xD Sounds like the kind of dude who thinks breathing oxygen is a lie designed to keep humanity oppressed by the Freemasons or whatever.
Well I scrolled down for a good while hoping to find someone answer the Heroin question & NOPE!!! So I guess I gotta be that guy...such an amazing accomplishment of mine huh? Any who....it all depends on a number of things from the quality of the Heroin, your tolerance level, the amount, & the method of usage ex. intravenously, snorting, or smoking, which I've done all except smoking. So normally people feel a wave of warmth & absolute comfortablity...I like to say it feels like you're shivering cold like so cold you're about to die & all the sudden someone throws the biggest most warm blanket over you & brings you inside to their heated home. You're so chill & relaxed you can't even keep your eyes open, which is known as the nods for obvious reasons. If it's your first time then most people actually get nauseous after the initial feeling & throw up, which luckily deters a lot of people from trying again, but the issue with that is most people nowadays use heroin because the doctors cut them off their prescription opiates so they already have somewhat of a tolerance. Honestly it does feel amazing BUT it equally feels just the opposite when you don't have it, if you're addicted. Withdrawals are literally thee worst feeling ever & its not even close. Imagine feeling like you have Covid or the Flu really bad & compound that with having a 24/7 anxiety attack, complete full body restlessness, & literal insomnia & thats Heroin/Fentanyl withdraw. I wasn't prescribed opiates personally but I did start off using pills like Hydrocodeine, Oxytocin, Oxycodeine, Morphine, & the absolute WORST of all Fentanyl. Heroin doesn't have shit on Fentanyl because it's like 10 times stronger. All the overdoses recently have come from Heroin cut with Fentanyl & the bitch of it all is our own government makes it & even pays doctors to prescribe it hints the recent opioid epidemic sweaping the nation. They did the same shit with Oxycontin until they finally shut it down. Oh & I haven't used Heroin in like 4 yrs if you're wondering.
Hey good on you for being clean of heroin for so long! That's seriously such a good accomplishment! I've had family members get addicted to heroine for a while and all I remember is the paranoia they went through. It made my home life a living hell, and I wondered what was so damn good about heroin to make it worth fucking up an entire family. Thankfully everyone has gotten clean and things have been going well for many years now, but I'll never get that time back. This trauma really makes it difficult to even TALK about drugs; even when someone is just joking about them. Thank you for answering his question about heroin, because at least now I know what could've caused the addiction aspect. I assume the "good" parts weren't what kept people on it, but rather so they wouldn't have to face the negative aspects of withdrawal. At least, that's why one of my relatives is still doing it. And about the fentanyl thing; that one relative I mentioned (who still does heroin) is also into fentanyl, and I think it's insane how popular it's getting. It's a fucking shame, because even the *tiniest* amount of pure fentanyl can knock someone out. It's dangerous as hell, and I'm fucking furious at our "health care" system for PRESCRIBING IT to people! Anyways, as I said before, thank you so much for your detailed answer. That does help me cope a little bit. Congrats on staying off of heroin. Here's to another 4 years! And another 4 after that! (So on and so forth
I don’t know but I’m just gonna posit the blind fetish probably comes from the idea of receiving love from someone who can’t see you and therefore isn’t judging your looks.
My question is do the blind have fetishes. I’m going to embarrass myself publicly here but I have a small breast/flat chest fetish. A lot of it is from aesthetics and preferences of seeing a person. So if was blind would I not fetishize on these things since I can’t judge the aesthetics of a woman
@@Vladimir_4757 I'd assume a blind person would be more likely to have fetishes based on sensation than looks. like, a blind person would be more likely to have a fetish with that thing where you use ice cubes or being choked rather than physical characteristics
Having ASD and MDD I swear I felt that rant on conversations with neurotypicals so hard. They'll really act like you've got some secret agenda against them even when you give what should be a clear answer.
I'm ASD too, I wore two different kinds of gloves at once and the amount of neurotypical people who wouldn't stop asking why I did it was wild. I just liked the way it looked :sob:
also i think that neurotypicals love to make a sort of spy type game out of social interactions, like not saying what they mean, implying stuff by jumping through weird hoops etc so when you give an actual normal answer to a question they just assume you're doing that and hiding something
This, fucking everything about this, it doesn't make any damn sense that people don't just say what they mean upfront, nor take what you're saying at face value
Man people at my school did that was frickin hard to communicate to anybody because you would say something to someone and they'd look at you real suspicious like I'm just asking how your day is it's not like I'm trying to get your credit card number
I'm not diagnosed with anything so I think I'm neurotypical. But I just noticed that people do this when I go out with my new friend. So we chill in a new public place. It has 2 floors. My new friend ask me to go up to 2nd floor with her. I'm perfectly content with sitting on the 1st floor so I refuse. She doesn't really make any fuss but then after like 2 hours, I discovered that actually, the reason she wants to go up is because she wanted to look for her boyfriend/crush because they had a fight or something. Idk lol 27 years old single since birth. Can't understand any romantic relationship drama. First of all, I thought she asked me to hang out just to hang out. It turns out she had a hidden agenda. Second, why didn't she just said that? I wouldn't refuse if she just directly said that. I always thought that saying what you actually want to say is a normal human behavior but apparently no. People hide their intention, assume things etc. So complicated. I don't know why they're doing that because I certainly wouldn't. Me and my friend is just always direct with each other. Therefore, no misunderstanding.
As someone who comes from a rich background, I can confirm the egg thing, my family has never bought into that, but I have seen other families who would. And my mom used always want those
What really stinks is sitting in the office of your boss who owns the business he inherited, and Ashe explains why they can’t afford to give you more pay, he’s rearranging his egg collection.
As someone with Pica: Pretty much normal. I don't eat couch cushions. I pretty much just eat any small pieces of paper that I get in my hands and not specifically paying attention to it. Gum wrappers, bus transfers, receipts. Its all pretty digestible.
The idea of someone buying stuff on a supermarket, picking up their stuff and also the receipt and going " Thank you very much! Have a good day " as they put the receipt in their mouth and start chewing as they go is hilarious to me lmao I know you probably don't do this straight up in front of people's faces but it was a funny scenario to imagine.
Okay! With the yogurt question: yogurt is a dairy product and dairy can actually be really good for your skin and hair! Yogurt is made by fermenting milk with a yogurt culture, so yeah technically a dairy. But the same way milk soaps and fruit based body washes never "spoil" is cause they have a shit ton of chemicals and conservatives that prevent this. And that's cause they don't actually throw in fresh milk or yogurt into the soap mixtures, through a lot of chemical processes they turn the dairy into a powder that doesn't spoil and then throw that into the mixture Soaps and body washes usually never use fresh stuff! Its a lot of chemical procedures that's super interesting and fun to learn about
The tattoo thing! Tattoo artists give price range, because how much it will ultimately be depends on the client: If they move too much, if they take a lot of breaks, if their skin is easy to work with and if they are easy to work with too :) Sometimes, if a tattoo artist had a good experience with their client they will choose to take the lower price, but if the client was an douche they will charge them more. Respect your tattoo artists!
That's actually really helpful! I'm wanting to get tattoos eventually (I have to save for them of course), and I have no idea how this sort of thing works. I'll be sure to keep that in mind, thank you
Also for the record and so you know how wide your audience is. I’m an old ass 42yo metal head. Yes I did find you from the incel vs metal video. I then binged all your older content and subscribed. I also showed you to my wife and she liked your content as well. Keep it up bro.
okay, for the blind question with style. i myself am not blind but i am really close with someone who is, they are legally blind but can still see colours, shapes, lights and shadows. they have a very distinct pastel style, its very fluffy and round, like a pastel fluffy clown. they were not born blind but it did take affect when they were five, they developed there style kinda in highschool so yeh. they say that they like the colours, the feeling and the shape. they do there make up better than i can (i'm kinda lowkey jealous) and I've been able to see all my life. i hope that answers your question! also the neurotypical rant is perfect. I've had a similar convo with so may people its not funny.
My thoughts on the autism communication thing: - Neurotypicals are good at picking up social cues... from other neurotypicals. In my experience as an autistic person and also ADHD haver, soon as something falls slightly out of their usual range of “normalcy” they either intentionally ignore it or get defensive. (Or offensive if you’ve encountered an asshole I suppose) - I was definitely a “can’t pick up on social cues” autistic as a kid, but was punished for it and ended up learning to be _pretty good at reading people._ At least when it comes to their tone of voice or facial expressions. Implications in phrasing fly right over my head. (If I get instructions that aren’t detailed enough I will just start crying) - There’s a lot to say on the trauma inherent to being neurodivergent in the school system and how most people like me I’ve found tend to be really good at picking up negative feelings but less so for positive ones, how many people can learn the sound of someone’s “lying voice”, etc. but I don’t feel like getting into it. - There has been studies on how often people get interrupted in a conversation based on whether it’s between two autistics, two allistics, or one of each. It’s only the last situation in which they interrupt each other. - People already say so much confusing shit on a daily basis that I would rather not ask more questions and risk annoying someone. If I can understand enough to let the topic settle, I’d rather do that than upset/inconvenience anyone. (That being said, the example conversation about OCD habits seems pretty easy to understand anyways.)
I'm also only really good at picking up social cues because of a judgmental childhood. I used to not want to speak (not that I never did, but I would get shushed if I was talking about an interest, which is all I ever opened my mouth for), but over time I got judged for not being talkative so I had to learn to talk more. Learning to talk more meant having to learn social cues and what not, so now I read people even better than other neurotypicals. It's pretty wild lol. I can study people's behavioral patterns to judge how they're really feeling at all times. It makes me a pretty damn good listener, which is one good aspect of this thing. I like to help my friends with their issues, so in a way, I don't really mind having to have learned social cues.
Totally agree with everything you said, but I'd add that the part about two autistic people or two allistic people not interrupting each other is obviously a generalisation - me and my gf are both autistic and we interrupt each other all the time, but only from a mutual understanding of 'if I don't say this right now before I go back to processing what you're saying, I will 100% forget it and then spend half an hour getting annoyed that I can't remember it'
Hold on, why are we getting singled out for 'arse'? The Irish, English, Welsh, Australians, and New Zealanders say it too. We say it best, to be fair. You are correct though, it's a pretty rough word, especially if you use it in a sexual context.
I'm 38 and your curiosity is so rare and so under valued and I wish I had been authentic enough to shamelessly ask questions at your age. Seriously... keep asking all the damn questions! Also, I have struggled with drug addiction since I was 17 but was never hooked on heroin. But for me, the first time I did it the first thing I felt was extremely nauseated. After projectile vomiting in my friends bathroom I felt the high and it was like my head was filled with helium and slowly floating away from me and simultaneously like significantly warmer blood was being pumped through my veins replacing my normal blood. But overall, the 1st time was the best and even that was over rated. There are literally NO stupid questions. We learn best when we have thought of the questions ourselves and if anyone shames you for asking about something then they are boring and not worth wasting time on. 💯
Man the neurotypicals rant hit hard, I've started playing a game called "explain what ADHD is without saying ADHD" just to see if NTs will actually respond with anything other than a patronising "yeah well we all get distracted sometimes, just try to focus a bit harder" Like, I literally have to explain that I have an underdeveloped prefrontal cortex which means my brain can't properly regulate my dopamine and norepinephrine levels, end result being executive dysfunction (which I then also have to explain). NTs will be like "oh wow that sounds pretty serious, it must be pretty difficult for you" and once I've got them to that point I'll casually say it's ADHD and then revel in the moment as their facial expression changes from genuine concern to a face that reads "you fucker, you've been stringing me along this whole time and you were talking about a fake illness for shitty parents to dose up their hyperactive children" That facial expression shift nourishes my soul, I fucking love it, it's like carefully building a house of cards specifically for the purpose of blowing it down by farting on it, I highly recommend it Also, good vid as usual 👍
- Idk about other women, only talking for myself here but taking a shit feels good so I guess there's that lmao. Now being "proud" Idk if I'd go that far :') - I do sex work and I've seen some shit so yes, people do fetishize blind people. As you said, there's fetishes for everything. Cannot explain the thought process tho. I guess it's some weird neurological connections where stuff that's not usually erotic becomes erotic like feet, food, odors etc... - Yes rich fucks do spend money on Fabregé eggs. That's sad but they're not just a cartoon thing. The most expensive one is estimated at 33 million dollars.. - You are absolutely right, tattoo artists do that to kinda scam you depending on how much your budget is., raising or lowering the price to a point, mostly to scure a sell. That's why I don't do this. You just tell me the idea, the size and the spot on your body and I give you a price. Clear, straightforward and more honest but whatever. - Ngl, I always thought "Let's get it started was the og song. I've only discovered it wasn't when I found an acapella of the actual song with the r*****d in it. Recently too, about a year ago. No idea how I missed that but in insight it sounds really bad and really cringe... Plus, the censored version kinda flows better? That one part. "Let's get it started" - Mayo is usually eggs (without the white), vinegar, mustard, salt, pepper and some oil. At least that's the recipe I know. So yeah, it's egg paste lol That's all I can help with :)
One time I spent probably about half an hour explaining my anxiety disorder to someone and then when they actually witnessed me have an anxiety attack, they told me to "just chill" 🥴 Also I'm a 36 year old metalhead from Finland and I subscribed after watching your incel comments or metal lyrics video :D
Not that it’s right, but it could just be they don’t understand exactly what’s happening or how to respond. I’ve only had something I think I would call an anxiety attack twice and it’s hard to think what exactly I could have done to help had I been in that position or how I would describe it.
Yes, the Amish is 100% cult and I have no idea why it has garnered such a normalized view. Also hi! ASD/ADHD guy here! Literally every conversation with my extended family
It’s probably mostly been normalized by the non-Amish that live around them. I live right down the road from 2 different Amish families myself, and the surrounding area has many Amish and Mennonites. They’re overall pretty nice people, and they don’t make for bad neighbors for the most part either. I’m not denying that it’s a cult, but (and i know it doesn’t sound great) they’re one of the nicer cults out there nowadays

@@Larrybird696 I also live near a BUNCH of Amish people. Like, we have a lot in this area (since it is quite rural and we are near the countryside). They're not terrible people, and they mostly keep to themselves so we don't mind them much. They're really great for building houses around here, since that's most of the work they do other than farming. We appreciate them for the good they do, but there's no denying it's a complete cult. It's genuinely sad how they'll cut someone off from their entire family just for leaving the Amish lifestyle, and they're not allowed to come back to being Amish because they're seen as someone who "touched the forbidden fruit". To leave the Amish is almost like losing your virginity (just an analogy, I don't actually give 2 shits about virginity lol).
@@nomoretwitterhandles they only present nice, behind closed doors they’re pretty scummy, they treat their animals like literal tools as if they’re meant to be used until broken, they’re also really sexist and beat/rape women and girls, they’ll also beat their sons because they didn’t work hard enough in they’re eyes. Do not only are they cultish, they’re 90% of the time horrible people.
The eggs were like kinder surprise for rich folks to gift each other on easter in imperial Russia, each would contain one or more surprises usually jewelry, their only purpose is to be a high status collectible. I've seen one of the originals once and understood the appeal right away tbf, they are beautiful.
Biology student here Electric eels/catfish/rays basically have a couple specialized organs that other fish don’t have that are connected and controlled by their nervous system so when stimulated these organs produce an electric current that comes out of their body. These organs are basically like an organic tissue equivalent to a battery. It’s some crazy ass shit I agree.
I have a story about a blind person and fashion. As someone already pointed out here, most people with vision loss aren't completely blind, this one was though, she had to have her eyes removed as a toddler. As a kid and a teenager, her parents picked her clothes for her but then she started to listen to metal and hang out with a bunch of metalheads and because she knew that culture comes with fashion and aesthetic, she would ask her metal friends to take her shopping for similar clothes as they had. Even if she didn't see her own clothes, she wanted to fit it.
Did she have prosthetic eyes? I can’t even imagine how cool it would be to go to a metal concert and meet her if she were wearing like pure black prosthetics.
@@Who_evenamIanymore She didn't go the full-on demonic route but her prosthetic eyes were galaxy purple with a bit of glitter which was also very cool.
Electric eels even have two "settings" (some even say three), they can produce low-voltage discharges to generate an electric field for electrolocation (my very scientific understanding is: it's basically like the eagle sense in Assassins Creed) or a high-voltage discharge to stun prey and enemies. And electric eels aren't the only electric fish, there are multiple species that evolved it independently from each other. But I guess it's not even that complicated. Doesn't every body have like neurons and basically all cells that generate electric charges to communicate with each other?
as a person with autism, there’s like a phenomenon where people just come up to me and confess things/ask if they can tell me something. Apparently I just seem approachable, which seems ironic because social situations terrify me and confuse me. Anyway, wrists are weird and i hate looking at them.
This might not be what you meant as far as the blind fetish, but there are people who have body integrity identity disorder (BIID) who often feel that they were meant to live as a disabled person, or wish to handicap themselves in some way. There was a woman named Jewel Shuping who felt as though she was meant to be blind, she wore dark glasses and taught herself braille. With the help of a psychologist she blinded herself with drain cleaner and just lives as a blind woman now. She is outspoken about her disorder though, and doesn't encourage other people to do what she does.
The only question I can answer is just about girls taking big shits: for me personally I don’t feel proud, it’s more just a satisfaction, whether I feel proud or not never really crosses my mind but I do know women who are proud of things like that so yk it varies
I’m so glad I got your channel recommended to me last week, I’ve been binging your stuff and it’s pretty much all Ive been watching on my smoke and lunch breaks at work. To answer the pica question, I may not have pica but I used to eat a lot (volume wise) of really weird inedible shit as a child on a nearly daily basis until I was 12 (towels, plastic, erasers/rubbers, clothes, foam, paper, string, cardboard, paint, wallpaper, glitter, hair, pebbles, glass, playdoh, sand etc) and basically it comes out as an undigested mess. Almost the exact same as it went in. Sometimes the colour gets stripped depending on what you eat. Basically I can only describe it as similar to when you shit out undigested bits of sweetcorn. Some does (at least seem to) get digested depending on what you eat, however (like sand, small amounts of paper, dirt, etc).
If I remember correctly, the difference between a speed bump and a speed hump is how fast you're supposed to drive over it - I think a speed hump requests a slower speed but I could be mixing it up By the way I just found your channel recently and love your videos!
9:57 I’ve actually seen a blind emo before, they were super nice when I asked them about it and they just told me that they could see once and was emo then and just wears the same clothing cause they remembered that it looked cool, but idk about people who were born blind
Okay, over a month later I'm here to explain mayonnaise to a 22 year old. The internet rules. Mayonnaise is considered one of the five mother sauces in French cooking. Essentially there are five sauces that act as the basis for all other sauces in traditional French cooking. Mayonnaise is one of them, and, yeah, it's egg yolks, oil, and an acid. Yolks are needed as an emulsifier in order to bind the fat molecules in the oil to the water molecules in the acid and yolk itself. Usually it's white vinegar or lemon juice. The acid acts as a stabilizer to keep the mixture from splitting, since oil and water won't mix on their own. The yolks connect the two, and the acid keeps them connected. Super simple, straightforward, really easy to add additional flavours by throwing in diced fresh herbs or whatever. Modern mayo like Hellmann's contains all kinds of preservatives and stabilizers and other stuff bc traditional mayonnaise does not keep well at all. The popularity of mayonnaise as a spread is likely due to how flavour neutral it is, which makes it super versatile. That's my guess anyhow. Top tip: if you haven't already, try mixing a couple dabs of hot sauce in with a little ramekin of mayo to use as a sandwich spread or dip for fries or chips.
I personally had to work on picking up social cues due to the fact I am slightly autistic. My theory is that since I had to work at it i pay much closer attention to said cues, although that's pure speculation and backed up by nothing
I have OCD too, also as a Neurodivergent i can say in your example you hit all the point we would want. You gave us an answer with your explanation/ reasoning and that’s usually all we want -I’m not in the spectrum but I have inattentive ADHD and social anxiety and ocd
I'm autistic and non-binary so take that into consideration when reading my answers: I cover up almost all of my body when going out because I genuinely feel physically uncomfortable and it helps my senses. As for the social cues, yes and no. I pick up a fair amount of them, but I don't always understand them. People would get angry with me as a kid and I would have no fucking clue why. I hope that helped.
13:30 BROO, I feel the exact same way about wearing a hat or some form of head covering. I always need my hat or bonnet, otherwise i feel kind of naked or like people can see my thoughts. I have also tried explaining it to people who just never understand, it is just as frustrating as you put it.
I feel you with that conversation thing. I have adhd, and when I did a guided hike, I talked with my guide (who also has adhd and is a lot like me) for almost the whole 2 hour 45 minute hike. It was great. However, with people without adhd or stuff like that, it’s hard to get a conversation going without them losing interest or me just going on for way too long
Yes I am super proud of my dumps. You're right on the Amish question. It is a cult. The poor kids are pretty much forced to stay because they don't have a social security number. It's awful and we romanticize it WAY to much. There are blind goths! I made an OC years ago who is a blind goth DJ and someone commented saying their friend is a blind goth DJ which I think is incredible. Can't speak for them for the other questions but I can confirm they exist.
The algorithm fed me the "Incel or Metal Lyrics" video this morning, and I immediately started watching your old videos and subbed! You're a genuinely entertaining and thoughtful person, and while I don't know why that one specific video is getting so much traction, I'm glad your channel is taking off! 🤘
The bit about people with autism and social queues is spot on. My official diagnosis is OCD, depression and anxiety but so many people have said that I'm probably on the spectrum too. Whenever I need to explain any of my coping mechanism to someone on the spectrum, it's usually fine pretty much straight away. Yet with people who aren't, it's like we're speaking a different language. Maybe it's because people with mental illnesses understand each other better because they can relate it to something from their own lives. With that said though, I have met people with extreme forms of autism and they can be even worse when trying to explain things too. But we're talking about really severe cases, for the most part they're the most understanding.
OK, so as someone who is on the spectrum, I've never actually thought about that thing about picking up on social cues before but I have some thoughts. I think that neurodivergent people go through a lot of challenges socially (e.g. being called weird or having awkward interactions more often) so we kinda learn through trial and error what's OK and what's not OK more than neurotypicals do, and we also know what it's like to feel uncomfortable when talking about certain things such as habits or behaviours. Also, in the scenario of asking about your hat, it's literally just asking a question and you pretty much covered everything about what you do and why you do it so why bother asking "but why though?". Granted some people might ask for elaboration on things but only so they can understand you better to make you comfortable around them in the future. Also, I recently learned that neurodivergent people tend to communicate better with each other than they do with neurotypicals so maybe being mentally ill would make you neurodivergent in some way too (though I'm not 100% on that last bit). This is just my armchair theory about all this though and I'm not saying this will apply to everyone or be accurate all of the time.
I think you're onto something. We are taught how to mask and change and adapt to others, neurotypicals aren't. That's why they suck with communicating with us. The world is catered to their specific neurotype(s) much more than ours so they never have to learn.
Electric Eels are the result of Zeus and Poseidon having a long running disagreement, which led to Zeus zapping an eel in retaliation. Said eel became electric, reproduced, and that’s why we have electric eels.
To answer your heroin question, you kinda get this warm fuzzy feeling all over your body. Your whole body feels loose and free, you feel happy and carefree, and you also usually feel a little sleepy.
I don’t wanna be sounding offensive but how come on film and television when they show heroin users they are showing someone talking to themselves and overall being a bit crazy. Is it cause of the addiction or does heroin eventually mess with the brain because of the use?
@@jessenunez7205 Honestly the people who write those shows are probably confusing heroin with meth. Unless they're showing withdrawals cause those can mess with your head pretty bad. But yeah I've never known anyone on heroin to act crazy or talk to themselves, that's more of a meth thing. Heroin mellows you out.
As for the Amish thing, I agree. I’d recommend this documentary I think it’s on Hulu (can’t remember what it’s called sorry) that reveals just how prevalent p***philia is in that culture, and how it’s actively hidden and protected from the outside world. When one victim ended up taking her abusive brother to court, all the people in the community came to give support. Not to her, but to her abuser. Not one Amish person in that courthouse was there for her. It was awful
With the whole naming a kid “Leslie” thing I kind of relate to it. My name is Jesse which is nothing wrong I love my name but when the Disney Channel show Jessie came out everyone since the fucking third grade to present day sings “Hey Jessie Oooooh” to me and at first I was like “hahaha that’s pretty funny” but when that first happened when your like 9-10 and your now 20 going on 21 it feels overplayed and there have been times I cut people off just saying “stop I’ve heard it a thousand times”. Kinda similar situation except I love my name. I do get happy when people call me Jesse Pinkman from Breaking Bad which is one of my favorite shows
Sorta related to the neurotypical convo thing. One time I was at a grocery store grabbing something for a theatre event. So, I was all dressed up and I had kinda metal red and black makeup on to m little outfit. A dude who worked there quite literally cocked his head sideways like a fuckin dog and very loudly, as he was about 8-10 feet from me went "are you OkAYYY?"........
Severe ADHD here. Anyway, I LOVE the question about neurotypicals. Because for real where the fuck are these folks who get social queues and are sensitive to others because I DO NOT SEE IT in these allegedly 'normal' neurotypical folks. Your imitation of the interaction was so spot on that I got uncomfortable recalling similar experiences with neurotypicals in the past. The analogy about trying to explain empathy to a Republican was 1.) PERFECT and 2.) Hit every last nerve in my brain that's able to get humour all at once and literally made me explode with laughter. Holy shit I love your stuff.
about the social cues thing, i think neurotypicals tend to over-interpret stuff because they are used to speaking “between the lines” or whatever, while ppl on the spectrum particularly tend to be quite direct and just need information and a sound explanation to be satisfied. because we do not intuitively rely on little cues in the same way, we are easier to be up front with a lot of the time, since we usually take you at your word and assume you mean what you say. so in that way its not so much a “neurotypicals are bad at social cues” and more “neurotypicals are so used to speaking between the lines and relying on little cues, and interpretation of those cues, that they often cant deal with direct conversation, and try to over-interpret what is said to the point where it’s like they don’t even listen to the actual words you say sometimes” myself and the vast majority of my friends are on the spectrum and while it brings its challenges, it sure makes a lot of things simpler and more fum as well imo. anyway i love autistic bitches and ty for ur appreciation of us there tyler o/
My brain broke last year. Got cheated on, 4 kids, self employed, debts etc. Having trouble leaving the flat to go to work. I should be at work now. I like your videos. Gives me a little smile
Mayonnaise is a combination of vinegar, eggs, and water. Usually water and vinegar doesn’t mix but if you put eggs in there they combine, mix it enough it turns into mayonnaise
If you're curious about people with visual impairments, there's this wonderful Italian movies from 2005 about a child going blind at a young age. It's called "rosso come il cielo," which translates to "red as the sky," referencing the climax of the movie, where the kid talks to his now best friend, a kid who was born blind, and they have a beautiful exchange on what colors feel like and how to try and describe it to someone who has never seen them. So, much like with deaf people, being born into it does change your experience of life quite a bit, but whether it's from birth or not, there are a lot of inspiring things to learn when you hear their stories and experiences.
It was specifically used against immigrants from Austria-Hungary, and as someone from Slovakia (one of the countries that was a part of Austria-Hungary) i don't think a single person has used it to be offensive to me so using it shouldn't be a problem
9:54 that little side note about deaf people. They can't hear music, but they can feel the vibrations in the air. I had an aunt who was deaf and mute, she preferred jazz because it was "gentle and soothing like a massage."
I honestly thought speed humps we're a regional thing until one got installed in my home town. The only difference I can tell is that speed humps are just the modern version of speed bumps and speed humps are wider then bumps so they aren't as harsh to your suspension
You're the most comfortable UA-camr to watch on this platform, no joke. Also I love that you've shown this little awkward side of yours, that I personally can relate to and feel a little happier than before. Love your content ❤️
Heroin to me was an all-body euphoria. Somewhere between moments after satisfying a vice (nicotine or caffeine are really good examples) and a really intense orgasm. At a certain point it becomes a little overwhelming and i'd lose myself in the euphoria, which sortof peaks at a point of comfort that would nearly drop me to sleep, which is essentially what people call "nodding" (almost falling asleep then jolting awake.) That generally was followed up by a LOT of vomiting..
I loved this video. It made me start thinking about all the questions I always have. The neurotypical rant was fantastic. I have had issues with depression and anxiety since I was 11, and I find it is much easier to speak to people with autism, ADD/ADHD, and other mental illnesses. Many people who don't have to deal with certain issues do lack empathy, patience and curiosity.
BROOO NOT THE SOCIAL CUES THING dude, if anything, I feel like I'm actually BETTER at picking up on social cues than neurotypical people because I will simply refer out of a situation if I don't feel like I completely understand it??? It's like neurotypical people think it's some satanic superpower that I can read situations better than they can. I ended up having to live with my fiance's family for most of 2020 and they were so chill with me explaining I have anxiety problems, I have sensory issues, I have a low social battery, I need lots of patient explanations for things before they can fully click. But I go to them saying hey, I actually think I'm autistic and this realization is driving my OCD way up the charts so I'm struggling to keep my job and might have to quit for my mental safety, and suddenly noooo, absolutely not, there's no way, only professionals can make that call. Sorry to my future in-laws, but I don't have thousands of dollars to put towards a diagnosis, I didn't even have enough dollars to make rent anywhere, which you know, which is why you were letting me live with you!
as someone with like really bad anxiety, i have certain things i need to do to feel "safe", which can seem really odd to people who dont know me well. so whenever someone new comes over to my house i always have to have the weird conversation of like "hey dont touch that because if its moved ill freak out", "hey sorry dont mind all the meds on my side table" or "yeah im anxious all the time sorry if i just need to randomly leave". people with mental illnesses understand so much better than people who arent
Thank you on the neurodivergent vs. neurotypical thing. I have the same experience talking to normies, they just stare at you vacantly and refuse to understand, then act like you're "wrong" because you couldn't make them understand.
As a girl I can atleast say for myself: yes, I am weirdly proud of big poops I have taken. Did poop probably my biggest one ever recently and all I could think of was the south park episode when Randy won the Record for Biggest Poop ever taken.
As a male I can say that every time I take that one shit that makes you hold on to the side of the sink and pray I feel like I’m in one of those sittt horror movies we’re the main character escapes and he is left all bloody and out of breath as the sun comes up with his girlfriends innards smeared in his eyes. Big old gash in his side as he crawls away. I feel like I am the true survivor
First saw your vid "music elitist complaining about not having a gf" like 2 years ago and didn't know you made UA-cam vids and I'm so hyped I found your channel a few weeks ago. Love it all.
Best I can do for the heroin question is to listen to the song by The Velvet Underground or maybe Funhouse by The Stooges. I’ve never done any drugs but I’ve studied a bunch of heroin addicts just by being a fan of early punk and I feel that both are the closest to the feeling of shooting up without actually shooting up
Hey! I'm new here from the incel video and I just wanted to let you know that you fill an extremely specific niche that I feel has been ignored for a very long time! I dont think that niche can really be put into words, ig I'm more saying I really really like your videos and you should do more of them!!!
there was a kid in my primary school called guy, his real name was anthony but his nickname was guy and literally everyone called him guy... he also pretended his middle name was spider which was pretty strange but like 8 years later when i was changing my name i remembered him and thought that's fucking sick so now my legal middle name is actually spider
as someone who is in the spectrum, i can confirm that im not really the best at "being social", since that i don't talk to ppl that often, but when i do, i would usually have small convos and i don't say that much.
As an autistic person with mostly neurodivergent friends, I totally felt that "communication with NTs" section. Ur forced to learn all of these weird social rules to please them & they constantly point out all the ""weird"" stuff you do and then they don't even follow the rules they set up for us!!! I've had NTs literally walk off while I was still talking to them but I'M the one who doesn't get social cues??? Other ND people seem to be more understanding of stuff like that from my experience + it's easier to talk to them
It is normal yogurt!!! Which is even crazier right?? Why is it in soap? It's very nourishing to your skin and has a lot of good stuff. Why doesnt it go bad? More weird it has to do with lye in soap breaking down oils and stuff and yogurt being antibacterial but this comment is already too long hope you enjoy knowing you're not dumb it is normal yogurt!! Amazing video!!
Wasn't the Black Eyed Peas song changed to Let's Get It Started..? I think it was, before it even reached Finland (where I live)... Also, Molly Burke is a blind UA-camr who likes fashion. But she lost her sight slowly, so I guess it doesn't entirely answer that question.
You're correct! They released a censored version because they got flak for saying "retarded" on a radio track, even back in 2004. The original song has fallen out of circulation.
Honestly, this is a fun and honest video. Blind people can develop a sense of “fashion” with preferences for certain cloth textures & clothing shapes - color can go completely out the window though when there is no use for visual stimuli. With the social queues thing: if a person hasnt lived with the concern of not knowing what is socially appropriate, they can completely drop concern for what is appropriate since they know there are minimal repercussions. Folks who know they have an issue tend to be more mindful. (Thank you for your efforts, my a-typical friends!)
I can answer your electric eel question! So, grossly simplified-nerve signals are basically tiny electrical impulses, right? Electric eels have a hyper-specialized nervous system that lets them simultaneously fire off a shitload of electrical impulses all at once through these specialized organs and cells. It’s cool as hell.
Thats not even the weirdest aspect of their Biology. Let him know about how nobody truly knows how eels reproduce & how no one can find their genitalia. Eels don't grow sex organs until later in life & actually have 5 vastly different life cycles to the point we thought they were different species until recently
im no ichthyologist, but as a regular biologist, i can endorse that OP is correct for an over-simplified answer.
That's fuckin wild
Funnily enough quite a number of aquatic animals can generate enough electricity to stun prey or zap potential predators, it's got to be one of the more metal adaptations evolution has doled out to certain species :3
do u think it hurts them when they do it
I agree with the "neurotypical folks don't pick up on social cues" so much! I have ADHD and play with my hair almost all the time because it's a stim. When another neurodivergent person asks me about it, it takes one sentence to explain. However, when a person that isn't neurodivergent person asks about, it's a 30 minute conversation about me trying to explain that indeed do not have lice and that it's a stim.
YEs
I'm 37 and have worked at bars since I was 19 and am still explaining the exact same thing to new coworkers smh. Makes me feel wholesome as fuck the second I work with someone that instantly "gets it". Lift each other up.
I possibly may be autistic ,not diagnosed yet cuz my mom can't find a psychiatrist ..and I also constantly am twirling my hair ;w;
I’m the same but I’m a guy
I hate being asked about anything I do
As far as the aesthetics of blind ppl go: my uncle was blind and his gf would be like "yo what kinda stuff do you wanna wear?" and he would describe what was fashionable when he was 8 (bc he lost his vision at that age) so basically he's dressing like its still 1978 and occasionally when we were out id be like "Oh this shirt is so nice! its your size!" so he would buy it so I guess he just said fuck it I cant see yall all can decide my aesthetic.
I was kind of thinking it would be shaped around the people they hang out with, like if they have goth friends than I guess they might dress goth too. I guess the fit of the clothes matters too, like maybe they like how a corset or a choker feels. (Just a guess though)
@@evilemuempire9550 i was thinking this but then thought how would they even know how their friends dress other than by feel
@@choppy2143 True, I was more imagining them going shopping with friends or buying based on description (ie asking for a black shirt based on what your friends tell you they wear even though you can’t see it)
My partner is legally blind and will eventually lose all sight. But that mf is all about pink/black emo and PVC 😉. When you have people who know you well, they know what you like and can help curate a wardrobe. Like come on!, being blind doesn't mean you dont have some kind of vanity!
I'm genuinely curious the people who check your bags at the airport if someone brings a like a sex toy are they ever impressed like if I bring an 28 inch rubber schlong do they ever think to themselves "damn you can take all that I'm impressed"
I'd be impressed tbh
Not the air port, but I worked for a moving company. We would sometimes pack for people. While it wasn't an every day, or even weekly thing, we would see sex toys. I know its not as exciting of an answer, but truth is after a bit we just don't care as much. We obviously don't want to touch them because I have no idea how clean they are. But for the most part after so many times we just chuckle and continue with work. If it's a bigger toy, I might have a bit of a bigger reaction, but I'm probably not gonna really let anyone know. I'm gonna continue on with work.
But if I saw a 28 inch dildo, you bet your ass I'm showing my coworkers. Not gonna shame the person, but at the same time God damn.
Probably depends on how long they’re doing it. It’s like if they’re doing it long enough, they’ve seen so much weird shit, it loses it’s effect on them.
Id think you're a loser degenerative dork who needs to work in a ditch
Too funny and yet a genuinely legitimate and curious question…
1) I've never done heroin but I got a massive dose of morphine for kidney stones, and I remember lying in the bed being able to see the wall with my eyes closed, and it was both pitch black and perfectly lit, it was cold but I felt perfectly warm and content despite having no blanket, and I could see the wallpaper in the room moving in 3D. It was like in Interview with the Vampire where Louis tries to describe seeing for the first time with his "vampire eyes". It was warm and beautiful and I've never felt more at peace, and then the next day I actively felt like I was dying so I do not recommend it.
2) I used to have pica as a kid and would eat hard polycarbonate-type plastic, specifically pony beads and the tubes of gel pens (not the ink tube, the outer one), and I never noticed anything in my poop but I guess I never looked that hard 🤷
3) Neurotypical people are 100% worse at communicating; it's not just you.
I know this sounds weird and is kinda unrelated but sometimes I see the walls with my eyes closed when I’m half awake in the mornings is this normal
as someone with autism i had this weird arc where i started out not understanding how neurotypical people communicate, to painstakingly learning it, to absolutely not giving a shit and deciding my way of communication is far more suitable lmao. i don't care about making neurotypical people more comfortable any more - they had a lifetime of making me feel uncomfortable for existing so i'll tell them straight. i don't bother with cues these days - if i want someone to drop something, i just tell them, cus i know they won't get it and i have to be harsh to get the point across.
Fuck yes. I LOVE this approach.
I WENT THROUGH THIS ARC AS WELL
I always wear a hat similar to yours at work (I work in a fridge). There's a guy I work with who often asks why. I've explained several times it's because I like to have short hair and it keeps my head and ears warm. He's convinced I'm hiding something. What would I be trying to hide? A family of sea turtles?! A small pile of glitter?! Blurgh, normal people...
I love the idea that your work colleague being suspicious of the explanation that you're wearing a hat for the reason it was designed to be worn xD Sounds like the kind of dude who thinks breathing oxygen is a lie designed to keep humanity oppressed by the Freemasons or whatever.
Dude watched Ratatouille once and now can't see a hat without getting suspicious.
Well I scrolled down for a good while hoping to find someone answer the Heroin question & NOPE!!! So I guess I gotta be that guy...such an amazing accomplishment of mine huh? Any who....it all depends on a number of things from the quality of the Heroin, your tolerance level, the amount, & the method of usage ex. intravenously, snorting, or smoking, which I've done all except smoking. So normally people feel a wave of warmth & absolute comfortablity...I like to say it feels like you're shivering cold like so cold you're about to die & all the sudden someone throws the biggest most warm blanket over you & brings you inside to their heated home. You're so chill & relaxed you can't even keep your eyes open, which is known as the nods for obvious reasons. If it's your first time then most people actually get nauseous after the initial feeling & throw up, which luckily deters a lot of people from trying again, but the issue with that is most people nowadays use heroin because the doctors cut them off their prescription opiates so they already have somewhat of a tolerance. Honestly it does feel amazing BUT it equally feels just the opposite when you don't have it, if you're addicted. Withdrawals are literally thee worst feeling ever & its not even close. Imagine feeling like you have Covid or the Flu really bad & compound that with having a 24/7 anxiety attack, complete full body restlessness, & literal insomnia & thats Heroin/Fentanyl withdraw. I wasn't prescribed opiates personally but I did start off using pills like Hydrocodeine, Oxytocin, Oxycodeine, Morphine, & the absolute WORST of all Fentanyl. Heroin doesn't have shit on Fentanyl because it's like 10 times stronger. All the overdoses recently have come from Heroin cut with Fentanyl & the bitch of it all is our own government makes it & even pays doctors to prescribe it hints the recent opioid epidemic sweaping the nation. They did the same shit with Oxycontin until they finally shut it down. Oh & I haven't used Heroin in like 4 yrs if you're wondering.
Hey good on you for being clean of heroin for so long! That's seriously such a good accomplishment!
I've had family members get addicted to heroine for a while and all I remember is the paranoia they went through. It made my home life a living hell, and I wondered what was so damn good about heroin to make it worth fucking up an entire family.
Thankfully everyone has gotten clean and things have been going well for many years now, but I'll never get that time back. This trauma really makes it difficult to even TALK about drugs; even when someone is just joking about them.
Thank you for answering his question about heroin, because at least now I know what could've caused the addiction aspect. I assume the "good" parts weren't what kept people on it, but rather so they wouldn't have to face the negative aspects of withdrawal. At least, that's why one of my relatives is still doing it.
And about the fentanyl thing; that one relative I mentioned (who still does heroin) is also into fentanyl, and I think it's insane how popular it's getting. It's a fucking shame, because even the *tiniest* amount of pure fentanyl can knock someone out. It's dangerous as hell, and I'm fucking furious at our "health care" system for PRESCRIBING IT to people!
Anyways, as I said before, thank you so much for your detailed answer. That does help me cope a little bit.
Congrats on staying off of heroin. Here's to another 4 years! And another 4 after that! (So on and so forth
I don’t know but I’m just gonna posit the blind fetish probably comes from the idea of receiving love from someone who can’t see you and therefore isn’t judging your looks.
oooh that makes sense!
That's both wholesome and kinda sad.
My question is do the blind have fetishes. I’m going to embarrass myself publicly here but I have a small breast/flat chest fetish. A lot of it is from aesthetics and preferences of seeing a person. So if was blind would I not fetishize on these things since I can’t judge the aesthetics of a woman
@@Vladimir_4757 I'd assume a blind person would be more likely to have fetishes based on sensation than looks. like, a blind person would be more likely to have a fetish with that thing where you use ice cubes or being choked rather than physical characteristics
@@demonicbicycle666 Makes a lot of sense. Never thought of it that way tbh
Having ASD and MDD I swear I felt that rant on conversations with neurotypicals so hard. They'll really act like you've got some secret agenda against them even when you give what should be a clear answer.
I'm ASD too, I wore two different kinds of gloves at once and the amount of neurotypical people who wouldn't stop asking why I did it was wild. I just liked the way it looked :sob:
7:28 bro you don’t gotta worry about offending the Amish…they’ll never see this 😂
also i think that neurotypicals love to make a sort of spy type game out of social interactions, like not saying what they mean, implying stuff by jumping through weird hoops etc so when you give an actual normal answer to a question they just assume you're doing that and hiding something
This, fucking everything about this, it doesn't make any damn sense that people don't just say what they mean upfront, nor take what you're saying at face value
Man people at my school did that was frickin hard to communicate to anybody because you would say something to someone and they'd look at you real suspicious like I'm just asking how your day is it's not like I'm trying to get your credit card number
I'm not diagnosed with anything so I think I'm neurotypical. But I just noticed that people do this when I go out with my new friend.
So we chill in a new public place. It has 2 floors. My new friend ask me to go up to 2nd floor with her. I'm perfectly content with sitting on the 1st floor so I refuse.
She doesn't really make any fuss but then after like 2 hours, I discovered that actually, the reason she wants to go up is because she wanted to look for her boyfriend/crush because they had a fight or something. Idk lol 27 years old single since birth. Can't understand any romantic relationship drama.
First of all, I thought she asked me to hang out just to hang out. It turns out she had a hidden agenda.
Second, why didn't she just said that? I wouldn't refuse if she just directly said that.
I always thought that saying what you actually want to say is a normal human behavior but apparently no. People hide their intention, assume things etc. So complicated. I don't know why they're doing that because I certainly wouldn't. Me and my friend is just always direct with each other. Therefore, no misunderstanding.
As an autistic person, I fucking loved the Neurodivergent part, thank you so much for that ❣
real
As someone who comes from a rich background, I can confirm the egg thing, my family has never bought into that, but I have seen other families who would. And my mom used always want those
What really stinks is sitting in the office of your boss who owns the business he inherited, and Ashe explains why they can’t afford to give you more pay, he’s rearranging his egg collection.
As someone with Pica: Pretty much normal. I don't eat couch cushions. I pretty much just eat any small pieces of paper that I get in my hands and not specifically paying attention to it. Gum wrappers, bus transfers, receipts. Its all pretty digestible.
woah...receipts? I would be careful with that. don't they contain hazardous chemicals...? :S
The idea of someone buying stuff on a supermarket, picking up their stuff and also the receipt and going " Thank you very much! Have a good day " as they put the receipt in their mouth and start chewing as they go is hilarious to me lmao I know you probably don't do this straight up in front of people's faces but it was a funny scenario to imagine.
Okay! With the yogurt question: yogurt is a dairy product and dairy can actually be really good for your skin and hair!
Yogurt is made by fermenting milk with a yogurt culture, so yeah technically a dairy. But the same way milk soaps and fruit based body washes never "spoil" is cause they have a shit ton of chemicals and conservatives that prevent this. And that's cause they don't actually throw in fresh milk or yogurt into the soap mixtures, through a lot of chemical processes they turn the dairy into a powder that doesn't spoil and then throw that into the mixture
Soaps and body washes usually never use fresh stuff! Its a lot of chemical procedures that's super interesting and fun to learn about
The tattoo thing! Tattoo artists give price range, because how much it will ultimately be depends on the client: If they move too much, if they take a lot of breaks, if their skin is easy to work with and if they are easy to work with too :) Sometimes, if a tattoo artist had a good experience with their client they will choose to take the lower price, but if the client was an douche they will charge them more. Respect your tattoo artists!
That's actually really helpful! I'm wanting to get tattoos eventually (I have to save for them of course), and I have no idea how this sort of thing works. I'll be sure to keep that in mind, thank you
Crustbag slowly entering the Vsauce arc… we need all the answers now
Also for the record and so you know how wide your audience is. I’m an old ass 42yo metal head. Yes I did find you from the incel vs metal video. I then binged all your older content and subscribed. I also showed you to my wife and she liked your content as well. Keep it up bro.
i found him from the same video!
SAME VIDEO omg!
Lol you said it for me! Except I'm 39 and showed it to my husband 😂😂
i also found him from the same video and have been binging haha

Thank you!! ❤

okay, for the blind question with style. i myself am not blind but i am really close with someone who is, they are legally blind but can still see colours, shapes, lights and shadows. they have a very distinct pastel style, its very fluffy and round, like a pastel fluffy clown. they were not born blind but it did take affect when they were five, they developed there style kinda in highschool so yeh. they say that they like the colours, the feeling and the shape. they do there make up better than i can (i'm kinda lowkey jealous) and I've been able to see all my life. i hope that answers your question!
also the neurotypical rant is perfect. I've had a similar convo with so may people its not funny.
My thoughts on the autism communication thing:
- Neurotypicals are good at picking up social cues... from other neurotypicals. In my experience as an autistic person and also ADHD haver, soon as something falls slightly out of their usual range of “normalcy” they either intentionally ignore it or get defensive. (Or offensive if you’ve encountered an asshole I suppose)
- I was definitely a “can’t pick up on social cues” autistic as a kid, but was punished for it and ended up learning to be _pretty good at reading people._ At least when it comes to their tone of voice or facial expressions. Implications in phrasing fly right over my head. (If I get instructions that aren’t detailed enough I will just start crying)
- There’s a lot to say on the trauma inherent to being neurodivergent in the school system and how most people like me I’ve found tend to be really good at picking up negative feelings but less so for positive ones, how many people can learn the sound of someone’s “lying voice”, etc. but I don’t feel like getting into it.
- There has been studies on how often people get interrupted in a conversation based on whether it’s between two autistics, two allistics, or one of each. It’s only the last situation in which they interrupt each other.
- People already say so much confusing shit on a daily basis that I would rather not ask more questions and risk annoying someone. If I can understand enough to let the topic settle, I’d rather do that than upset/inconvenience anyone. (That being said, the example conversation about OCD habits seems pretty easy to understand anyways.)
I'm also only really good at picking up social cues because of a judgmental childhood. I used to not want to speak (not that I never did, but I would get shushed if I was talking about an interest, which is all I ever opened my mouth for), but over time I got judged for not being talkative so I had to learn to talk more. Learning to talk more meant having to learn social cues and what not, so now I read people even better than other neurotypicals. It's pretty wild lol. I can study people's behavioral patterns to judge how they're really feeling at all times. It makes me a pretty damn good listener, which is one good aspect of this thing. I like to help my friends with their issues, so in a way, I don't really mind having to have learned social cues.
Totally agree with everything you said, but I'd add that the part about two autistic people or two allistic people not interrupting each other is obviously a generalisation - me and my gf are both autistic and we interrupt each other all the time, but only from a mutual understanding of 'if I don't say this right now before I go back to processing what you're saying, I will 100% forget it and then spend half an hour getting annoyed that I can't remember it'
Hold on, why are we getting singled out for 'arse'? The Irish, English, Welsh, Australians, and New Zealanders say it too. We say it best, to be fair. You are correct though, it's a pretty rough word, especially if you use it in a sexual context.
@@nikfiendluvr666 really? Well I'll defer to you on Kiwi patter, but my sister-in-law is Australian and they definitely say it.
GIZ A SHOT OF UR ARSE THERE LOVE WILL YE ? ... only Dublin people will know what I'm saying
im australian and all the people I know dislike the sound of "arse" and we all use ass
I'm 38 and your curiosity is so rare and so under valued and I wish I had been authentic enough to shamelessly ask questions at your age. Seriously... keep asking all the damn questions!
Also, I have struggled with drug addiction since I was 17 but was never hooked on heroin. But for me, the first time I did it the first thing I felt was extremely nauseated. After projectile vomiting in my friends bathroom I felt the high and it was like my head was filled with helium and slowly floating away from me and simultaneously like significantly warmer blood was being pumped through my veins replacing my normal blood. But overall, the 1st time was the best and even that was over rated.
There are literally NO stupid questions. We learn best when we have thought of the questions ourselves and if anyone shames you for asking about something then they are boring and not worth wasting time on. 💯
I suppose neurotypical people are less trusting across the board, because there's so much subtle bullying in normal interactions.
Man the neurotypicals rant hit hard, I've started playing a game called "explain what ADHD is without saying ADHD" just to see if NTs will actually respond with anything other than a patronising "yeah well we all get distracted sometimes, just try to focus a bit harder"
Like, I literally have to explain that I have an underdeveloped prefrontal cortex which means my brain can't properly regulate my dopamine and norepinephrine levels, end result being executive dysfunction (which I then also have to explain).
NTs will be like "oh wow that sounds pretty serious, it must be pretty difficult for you" and once I've got them to that point I'll casually say it's ADHD and then revel in the moment as their facial expression changes from genuine concern to a face that reads "you fucker, you've been stringing me along this whole time and you were talking about a fake illness for shitty parents to dose up their hyperactive children"
That facial expression shift nourishes my soul, I fucking love it, it's like carefully building a house of cards specifically for the purpose of blowing it down by farting on it, I highly recommend it
Also, good vid as usual 👍
- Idk about other women, only talking for myself here but taking a shit feels good so I guess there's that lmao. Now being "proud" Idk if I'd go that far :')
- I do sex work and I've seen some shit so yes, people do fetishize blind people. As you said, there's fetishes for everything. Cannot explain the thought process tho. I guess it's some weird neurological connections where stuff that's not usually erotic becomes erotic like feet, food, odors etc...
- Yes rich fucks do spend money on Fabregé eggs. That's sad but they're not just a cartoon thing. The most expensive one is estimated at 33 million dollars..
- You are absolutely right, tattoo artists do that to kinda scam you depending on how much your budget is., raising or lowering the price to a point, mostly to scure a sell. That's why I don't do this. You just tell me the idea, the size and the spot on your body and I give you a price. Clear, straightforward and more honest but whatever.
- Ngl, I always thought "Let's get it started was the og song. I've only discovered it wasn't when I found an acapella of the actual song with the r*****d in it. Recently too, about a year ago. No idea how I missed that but in insight it sounds really bad and really cringe... Plus, the censored version kinda flows better? That one part. "Let's get it started"
- Mayo is usually eggs (without the white), vinegar, mustard, salt, pepper and some oil. At least that's the recipe I know. So yeah, it's egg paste lol
That's all I can help with :)
One time I spent probably about half an hour explaining my anxiety disorder to someone and then when they actually witnessed me have an anxiety attack, they told me to "just chill" 🥴
Also I'm a 36 year old metalhead from Finland and I subscribed after watching your incel comments or metal lyrics video :D
Not that it’s right, but it could just be they don’t understand exactly what’s happening or how to respond. I’ve only had something I think I would call an anxiety attack twice and it’s hard to think what exactly I could have done to help had I been in that position or how I would describe it.
Yes, the Amish is 100% cult and I have no idea why it has garnered such a normalized view. Also hi! ASD/ADHD guy here! Literally every conversation with my extended family
It’s probably mostly been normalized by the non-Amish that live around them. I live right down the road from 2 different Amish families myself, and the surrounding area has many Amish and Mennonites. They’re overall pretty nice people, and they don’t make for bad neighbors for the most part either. I’m not denying that it’s a cult, but (and i know it doesn’t sound great) they’re one of the nicer cults out there nowadays

@@Larrybird696 I also live near a BUNCH of Amish people. Like, we have a lot in this area (since it is quite rural and we are near the countryside). They're not terrible people, and they mostly keep to themselves so we don't mind them much. They're really great for building houses around here, since that's most of the work they do other than farming. We appreciate them for the good they do, but there's no denying it's a complete cult. It's genuinely sad how they'll cut someone off from their entire family just for leaving the Amish lifestyle, and they're not allowed to come back to being Amish because they're seen as someone who "touched the forbidden fruit". To leave the Amish is almost like losing your virginity (just an analogy, I don't actually give 2 shits about virginity lol).

Biology student here
Electric eels/catfish/rays basically have a couple specialized organs that other fish don’t have that are connected and controlled by their nervous system so when stimulated these organs produce an electric current that comes out of their body. These organs are basically like an organic tissue equivalent to a battery. It’s some crazy ass shit I agree.
I have a story about a blind person and fashion. As someone already pointed out here, most people with vision loss aren't completely blind, this one was though, she had to have her eyes removed as a toddler. As a kid and a teenager, her parents picked her clothes for her but then she started to listen to metal and hang out with a bunch of metalheads and because she knew that culture comes with fashion and aesthetic, she would ask her metal friends to take her shopping for similar clothes as they had. Even if she didn't see her own clothes, she wanted to fit it.
Did she have prosthetic eyes? I can’t even imagine how cool it would be to go to a metal concert and meet her if she were wearing like pure black prosthetics.
@@Who_evenamIanymore She didn't go the full-on demonic route but her prosthetic eyes were galaxy purple with a bit of glitter which was also very cool.
@@AnnInWonderland. awesome
my guy has peach or nectarine scented Aveeno body wash instead of 3 in 1 ........ how can I serve you, my king
Electric eels even have two "settings" (some even say three), they can produce low-voltage discharges to generate an electric field for electrolocation (my very scientific understanding is: it's basically like the eagle sense in Assassins Creed) or a high-voltage discharge to stun prey and enemies. And electric eels aren't the only electric fish, there are multiple species that evolved it independently from each other. But I guess it's not even that complicated. Doesn't every body have like neurons and basically all cells that generate electric charges to communicate with each other?
as a person with autism, there’s like a phenomenon where people just come up to me and confess things/ask if they can tell me something. Apparently I just seem approachable, which seems ironic because social situations terrify me and confuse me. Anyway, wrists are weird and i hate looking at them.
Discovered your channel recently, it’s now easily in my top 5 fave channels the now
SAME
This might not be what you meant as far as the blind fetish, but there are people who have body integrity identity disorder (BIID) who often feel that they were meant to live as a disabled person, or wish to handicap themselves in some way.
There was a woman named Jewel Shuping who felt as though she was meant to be blind, she wore dark glasses and taught herself braille. With the help of a psychologist she blinded herself with drain cleaner and just lives as a blind woman now.
She is outspoken about her disorder though, and doesn't encourage other people to do what she does.
The only question I can answer is just about girls taking big shits: for me personally I don’t feel proud, it’s more just a satisfaction, whether I feel proud or not never really crosses my mind but I do know women who are proud of things like that so yk it varies
I’m so glad I got your channel recommended to me last week, I’ve been binging your stuff and it’s pretty much all Ive been watching on my smoke and lunch breaks at work.
To answer the pica question, I may not have pica but I used to eat a lot (volume wise) of really weird inedible shit as a child on a nearly daily basis until I was 12 (towels, plastic, erasers/rubbers, clothes, foam, paper, string, cardboard, paint, wallpaper, glitter, hair, pebbles, glass, playdoh, sand etc) and basically it comes out as an undigested mess. Almost the exact same as it went in. Sometimes the colour gets stripped depending on what you eat. Basically I can only describe it as similar to when you shit out undigested bits of sweetcorn. Some does (at least seem to) get digested depending on what you eat, however (like sand, small amounts of paper, dirt, etc).
If I remember correctly, the difference between a speed bump and a speed hump is how fast you're supposed to drive over it - I think a speed hump requests a slower speed but I could be mixing it up
By the way I just found your channel recently and love your videos!
9:57 I’ve actually seen a blind emo before, they were super nice when I asked them about it and they just told me that they could see once and was emo then and just wears the same clothing cause they remembered that it looked cool, but idk about people who were born blind
Okay, over a month later I'm here to explain mayonnaise to a 22 year old. The internet rules.
Mayonnaise is considered one of the five mother sauces in French cooking. Essentially there are five sauces that act as the basis for all other sauces in traditional French cooking. Mayonnaise is one of them, and, yeah, it's egg yolks, oil, and an acid. Yolks are needed as an emulsifier in order to bind the fat molecules in the oil to the water molecules in the acid and yolk itself. Usually it's white vinegar or lemon juice. The acid acts as a stabilizer to keep the mixture from splitting, since oil and water won't mix on their own. The yolks connect the two, and the acid keeps them connected. Super simple, straightforward, really easy to add additional flavours by throwing in diced fresh herbs or whatever.
Modern mayo like Hellmann's contains all kinds of preservatives and stabilizers and other stuff bc traditional mayonnaise does not keep well at all. The popularity of mayonnaise as a spread is likely due to how flavour neutral it is, which makes it super versatile. That's my guess anyhow.
Top tip: if you haven't already, try mixing a couple dabs of hot sauce in with a little ramekin of mayo to use as a sandwich spread or dip for fries or chips.
The heroin thing is like being able to hold the state of a lucid dream while awake.
I personally had to work on picking up social cues due to the fact I am slightly autistic. My theory is that since I had to work at it i pay much closer attention to said cues, although that's pure speculation and backed up by nothing
You hit the nail on the head there. It's the coping mechanisms that make it easier sometimes to do things that are considered neurotypical
I have OCD too, also as a Neurodivergent i can say in your example you hit all the point we would want. You gave us an answer with your explanation/ reasoning and that’s usually all we want
-I’m not in the spectrum but I have inattentive ADHD and social anxiety and ocd
I'm autistic and non-binary so take that into consideration when reading my answers:
I cover up almost all of my body when going out because I genuinely feel physically uncomfortable and it helps my senses. As for the social cues, yes and no. I pick up a fair amount of them, but I don't always understand them. People would get angry with me as a kid and I would have no fucking clue why.
I hope that helped.
13:30 BROO, I feel the exact same way about wearing a hat or some form of head covering. I always need my hat or bonnet, otherwise i feel kind of naked or like people can see my thoughts.
I have also tried explaining it to people who just never understand, it is just as frustrating as you put it.
I feel you with that conversation thing. I have adhd, and when I did a guided hike, I talked with my guide (who also has adhd and is a lot like me) for almost the whole 2 hour 45 minute hike. It was great. However, with people without adhd or stuff like that, it’s hard to get a conversation going without them losing interest or me just going on for way too long
U genuinely are one of the most underrated UA-camrs imo. Your content is amazing
Yes I am super proud of my dumps.
You're right on the Amish question. It is a cult. The poor kids are pretty much forced to stay because they don't have a social security number. It's awful and we romanticize it WAY to much.
There are blind goths! I made an OC years ago who is a blind goth DJ and someone commented saying their friend is a blind goth DJ which I think is incredible. Can't speak for them for the other questions but I can confirm they exist.
The algorithm fed me the "Incel or Metal Lyrics" video this morning, and I immediately started watching your old videos and subbed! You're a genuinely entertaining and thoughtful person, and while I don't know why that one specific video is getting so much traction, I'm glad your channel is taking off! 🤘
Same here!
The bit about people with autism and social queues is spot on. My official diagnosis is OCD, depression and anxiety but so many people have said that I'm probably on the spectrum too. Whenever I need to explain any of my coping mechanism to someone on the spectrum, it's usually fine pretty much straight away. Yet with people who aren't, it's like we're speaking a different language. Maybe it's because people with mental illnesses understand each other better because they can relate it to something from their own lives. With that said though, I have met people with extreme forms of autism and they can be even worse when trying to explain things too. But we're talking about really severe cases, for the most part they're the most understanding.
about the guy part, i had a teacher that was called mr man, his first name was guy.
OK, so as someone who is on the spectrum, I've never actually thought about that thing about picking up on social cues before but I have some thoughts.
I think that neurodivergent people go through a lot of challenges socially (e.g. being called weird or having awkward interactions more often) so we kinda learn through trial and error what's OK and what's not OK more than neurotypicals do, and we also know what it's like to feel uncomfortable when talking about certain things such as habits or behaviours. Also, in the scenario of asking about your hat, it's literally just asking a question and you pretty much covered everything about what you do and why you do it so why bother asking "but why though?". Granted some people might ask for elaboration on things but only so they can understand you better to make you comfortable around them in the future. Also, I recently learned that neurodivergent people tend to communicate better with each other than they do with neurotypicals so maybe being mentally ill would make you neurodivergent in some way too (though I'm not 100% on that last bit). This is just my armchair theory about all this though and I'm not saying this will apply to everyone or be accurate all of the time.
I think you're onto something. We are taught how to mask and change and adapt to others, neurotypicals aren't. That's why they suck with communicating with us. The world is catered to their specific neurotype(s) much more than ours so they never have to learn.
There's a blind youtuber named Molly Burke who does fashion videos sometimes. You should check her out
I used to ask questions like this, and everybody just treated me like a freak
Electric Eels are the result of Zeus and Poseidon having a long running disagreement, which led to Zeus zapping an eel in retaliation. Said eel became electric, reproduced, and that’s why we have electric eels.
To answer your heroin question, you kinda get this warm fuzzy feeling all over your body. Your whole body feels loose and free, you feel happy and carefree, and you also usually feel a little sleepy.
I don’t wanna be sounding offensive but how come on film and television when they show heroin users they are showing someone talking to themselves and overall being a bit crazy. Is it cause of the addiction or does heroin eventually mess with the brain because of the use?
@@jessenunez7205 Honestly the people who write those shows are probably confusing heroin with meth. Unless they're showing withdrawals cause those can mess with your head pretty bad. But yeah I've never known anyone on heroin to act crazy or talk to themselves, that's more of a meth thing. Heroin mellows you out.
@@nikfiendluvr666 They really do. 0/10 do not recommend.
As for the Amish thing, I agree. I’d recommend this documentary I think it’s on Hulu (can’t remember what it’s called sorry) that reveals just how prevalent p***philia is in that culture, and how it’s actively hidden and protected from the outside world. When one victim ended up taking her abusive brother to court, all the people in the community came to give support. Not to her, but to her abuser. Not one Amish person in that courthouse was there for her. It was awful
With the whole naming a kid “Leslie” thing I kind of relate to it. My name is Jesse which is nothing wrong I love my name but when the Disney Channel show Jessie came out everyone since the fucking third grade to present day sings “Hey Jessie Oooooh” to me and at first I was like “hahaha that’s pretty funny” but when that first happened when your like 9-10 and your now 20 going on 21 it feels overplayed and there have been times I cut people off just saying “stop I’ve heard it a thousand times”. Kinda similar situation except I love my name. I do get happy when people call me Jesse Pinkman from Breaking Bad which is one of my favorite shows
Sorta related to the neurotypical convo thing. One time I was at a grocery store grabbing something for a theatre event. So, I was all dressed up and I had kinda metal red and black makeup on to m little outfit. A dude who worked there quite literally cocked his head sideways like a fuckin dog and very loudly, as he was about 8-10 feet from me went "are you OkAYYY?"........
Severe ADHD here. Anyway, I LOVE the question about neurotypicals. Because for real where the fuck are these folks who get social queues and are sensitive to others because I DO NOT SEE IT in these allegedly 'normal' neurotypical folks. Your imitation of the interaction was so spot on that I got uncomfortable recalling similar experiences with neurotypicals in the past.
The analogy about trying to explain empathy to a Republican was 1.) PERFECT and 2.) Hit every last nerve in my brain that's able to get humour all at once and literally made me explode with laughter. Holy shit I love your stuff.
about the social cues thing, i think neurotypicals tend to over-interpret stuff because they are used to speaking “between the lines” or whatever, while ppl on the spectrum particularly tend to be quite direct and just need information and a sound explanation to be satisfied. because we do not intuitively rely on little cues in the same way, we are easier to be up front with a lot of the time, since we usually take you at your word and assume you mean what you say. so in that way its not so much a “neurotypicals are bad at social cues” and more “neurotypicals are so used to speaking between the lines and relying on little cues, and interpretation of those cues, that they often cant deal with direct conversation, and try to over-interpret what is said to the point where it’s like they don’t even listen to the actual words you say sometimes”
myself and the vast majority of my friends are on the spectrum and while it brings its challenges, it sure makes a lot of things simpler and more fum as well imo. anyway i love autistic bitches and ty for ur appreciation of us there tyler o/
Wow. I really think you’re onto something, regarding what you said about NTs over interpreting stuff.
My brain broke last year. Got cheated on, 4 kids, self employed, debts etc. Having trouble leaving the flat to go to work. I should be at work now. I like your videos. Gives me a little smile
i've always thought Leslie was a nice name, it reminds me of flowers. but at the same time, i would hate to be named that
Mayonnaise is a combination of vinegar, eggs, and water. Usually water and vinegar doesn’t mix but if you put eggs in there they combine, mix it enough it turns into mayonnaise

If you're curious about people with visual impairments, there's this wonderful Italian movies from 2005 about a child going blind at a young age. It's called "rosso come il cielo," which translates to "red as the sky," referencing the climax of the movie, where the kid talks to his now best friend, a kid who was born blind, and they have a beautiful exchange on what colors feel like and how to try and describe it to someone who has never seen them.
So, much like with deaf people, being born into it does change your experience of life quite a bit, but whether it's from birth or not, there are a lot of inspiring things to learn when you hear their stories and experiences.
Honky was appearantly derived from hunky/bohunk which was a slur used against Slavic and Hungarian immigrants in the 1900s
There's other explanations for where it might come from but that's one of them
It was specifically used against immigrants from Austria-Hungary, and as someone from Slovakia (one of the countries that was a part of Austria-Hungary) i don't think a single person has used it to be offensive to me so using it shouldn't be a problem
I love the content u make on here so much! I absolutely love the variety.

I honestly thought speed humps we're a regional thing until one got installed in my home town. The only difference I can tell is that speed humps are just the modern version of speed bumps and speed humps are wider then bumps so they aren't as harsh to your suspension

I've always had problem using the bathroom, so hearing that other guys are proud of themselves pooping too makes me happy
Heroin to me was an all-body euphoria. Somewhere between moments after satisfying a vice (nicotine or caffeine are really good examples) and a really intense orgasm. At a certain point it becomes a little overwhelming and i'd lose myself in the euphoria, which sortof peaks at a point of comfort that would nearly drop me to sleep, which is essentially what people call "nodding" (almost falling asleep then jolting awake.) That generally was followed up by a LOT of vomiting..
I loved this video. It made me start thinking about all the questions I always have. The neurotypical rant was fantastic. I have had issues with depression and anxiety since I was 11, and I find it is much easier to speak to people with autism, ADD/ADHD, and other mental illnesses. Many people who don't have to deal with certain issues do lack empathy, patience and curiosity.
As an Autistic person, that neurodivergent vs neurotypical section made me feel empowered
BROOO NOT THE SOCIAL CUES THING dude, if anything, I feel like I'm actually BETTER at picking up on social cues than neurotypical people because I will simply refer out of a situation if I don't feel like I completely understand it??? It's like neurotypical people think it's some satanic superpower that I can read situations better than they can. I ended up having to live with my fiance's family for most of 2020 and they were so chill with me explaining I have anxiety problems, I have sensory issues, I have a low social battery, I need lots of patient explanations for things before they can fully click.
But I go to them saying hey, I actually think I'm autistic and this realization is driving my OCD way up the charts so I'm struggling to keep my job and might have to quit for my mental safety, and suddenly noooo, absolutely not, there's no way, only professionals can make that call. Sorry to my future in-laws, but I don't have thousands of dollars to put towards a diagnosis, I didn't even have enough dollars to make rent anywhere, which you know, which is why you were letting me live with you!
as someone with like really bad anxiety, i have certain things i need to do to feel "safe", which can seem really odd to people who dont know me well. so whenever someone new comes over to my house i always have to have the weird conversation of like "hey dont touch that because if its moved ill freak out", "hey sorry dont mind all the meds on my side table" or "yeah im anxious all the time sorry if i just need to randomly leave". people with mental illnesses understand so much better than people who arent
Thank you on the neurodivergent vs. neurotypical thing. I have the same experience talking to normies, they just stare at you vacantly and refuse to understand, then act like you're "wrong" because you couldn't make them understand.
Your channel is so refreshing. It's so genuine and reminds me of the good parts of earlier UA-cam. Keep doing your thing!
As a girl I can atleast say for myself: yes, I am weirdly proud of big poops I have taken. Did poop probably my biggest one ever recently and all I could think of was the south park episode when Randy won the Record for Biggest Poop ever taken.
As a male I can say that every time I take that one shit that makes you hold on to the side of the sink and pray I feel like I’m in one of those sittt horror movies we’re the main character escapes and he is left all bloody and out of breath as the sun comes up with his girlfriends innards smeared in his eyes. Big old gash in his side as he crawls away. I feel like I am the true survivor
First saw your vid "music elitist complaining about not having a gf" like 2 years ago and didn't know you made UA-cam vids and I'm so hyped I found your channel a few weeks ago. Love it all.
Best I can do for the heroin question is to listen to the song by The Velvet Underground or maybe Funhouse by The Stooges. I’ve never done any drugs but I’ve studied a bunch of heroin addicts just by being a fan of early punk and I feel that both are the closest to the feeling of shooting up without actually shooting up
One of the best channels going rn, but make the background music just a little touch louder, I want to hear that nasty shit xD

Hey! I'm new here from the incel video and I just wanted to let you know that you fill an extremely specific niche that I feel has been ignored for a very long time! I dont think that niche can really be put into words, ig I'm more saying I really really like your videos and you should do more of them!!!
there was a kid in my primary school called guy, his real name was anthony but his nickname was guy and literally everyone called him guy... he also pretended his middle name was spider which was pretty strange but like 8 years later when i was changing my name i remembered him and thought that's fucking sick so now my legal middle name is actually spider
Your videos are straight up one of my favorite parts of getting on UA-cam now
Greek yogurt is very moisturizing so it works to not make a cleansing product be too drying, also those products usually have a lot of preservatives
as someone who is in the spectrum, i can confirm that im not really the best at "being social", since that i don't talk to ppl that often, but when i do, i would usually have small convos and i don't say that much.
As an autistic person with mostly neurodivergent friends, I totally felt that "communication with NTs" section. Ur forced to learn all of these weird social rules to please them & they constantly point out all the ""weird"" stuff you do and then they don't even follow the rules they set up for us!!! I've had NTs literally walk off while I was still talking to them but I'M the one who doesn't get social cues??? Other ND people seem to be more understanding of stuff like that from my experience + it's easier to talk to them
love the color pallet of this vid! also that BOG shirt is hard af!
As a person on the spectrum. I agree. The squares never will understand us.
It is normal yogurt!!! Which is even crazier right?? Why is it in soap? It's very nourishing to your skin and has a lot of good stuff. Why doesnt it go bad? More weird it has to do with lye in soap breaking down oils and stuff and yogurt being antibacterial but this comment is already too long hope you enjoy knowing you're not dumb it is normal yogurt!! Amazing video!!
Wasn't the Black Eyed Peas song changed to Let's Get It Started..? I think it was, before it even reached Finland (where I live)...
Also, Molly Burke is a blind UA-camr who likes fashion. But she lost her sight slowly, so I guess it doesn't entirely answer that question.
You're correct! They released a censored version because they got flak for saying "retarded" on a radio track, even back in 2004. The original song has fallen out of circulation.
Honestly, this is a fun and honest video.
Blind people can develop a sense of “fashion” with preferences for certain cloth textures & clothing shapes - color can go completely out the window though when there is no use for visual stimuli.
With the social queues thing: if a person hasnt lived with the concern of not knowing what is socially appropriate, they can completely drop concern for what is appropriate since they know there are minimal repercussions. Folks who know they have an issue tend to be more mindful.
(Thank you for your efforts, my a-typical friends!)
