    Someone I know(were in highschool) works as an apprentice embalmer after having a really successful coop placement there. He makes more than their dad, and brings interesting stories to class. When they pick up ashes from the crematorium(part of their job is transport because there’s only so much you can do without a degree) the box the urn is stored in typically is incredibly hot, so it has to be ‘hot potatod’(his words not mine) and they always say “boy this one is hot off the press”.
    I also got to witness this conversation:
    “I saw (person they know)’s Grandmother at work the other day”
    “I thought she died”
    “Yeah. I saw her at work”

    Not sure if anyone will see this, but still. My dad works in safety, and one of his colleagues saw this happen. They were working above a hot water pipe, and it collapsed, one guy fell in. No one could go down there to help due to the heat, and there was nothing they could do to save him. They heard his screams for like 5-10 minutes. Haunting to even picture it.

    29:19 Johnny Depp as Captain Jack Sparrow. For those unaware, Johnny depp told his producers that he thought a live-action pirate movie for all ages would work well in the early 2000's market. They never believed him, so he got a bunch of costume supplies amd method acted for a while, and wrote up THE ENTIRE ROUGH DRAFT SCRIPT for The Curse of The Black Pearl. He then assembled his bosses, GAVE them copies of the draft, and auditioned in costume for Captain Jack Sparrow.
    And they want to fire this man from that series, due to unfounded allegations with no proof and plenty of counter-evidence?

    there are a ton of "reaction" channels that literally do NOTHING and add nothing to the video I won't pretend that it's not the case
    But there are a few diamonds in the rough I follow that actually take their time to share what they are thinking while they are watching, pausing when needed to explain it better, analyzing certain scenes when something peaks their interest, ending the video with their honest thoughts about it and theories on what can happen next (incase of it being a series) etc.
    it's fun!

    For the mint chocolate chip, it’s that chocolate chip, not the mint, that makes it taste bad. Mint flavor is fine. It’s just that the chips are both cold and crunchy, which doesn’t work well with the ice cream. It’s not like ice cream with nuts because the nuts tend to be softer and not hard to crunch. The chocolate chip, on the other hand, is too crunchy.

    A busdriver taking a wrong route doesn‘t sound made up at all.
    My local bus is part of a cluster of 4 lines where the buses switch lines at the trainstation during some times of the day and during other times they stay on the line they arrived as at the trainstation. Additionally the busdrivers get shifts on different of these clusters during the same week. And simetimes there is even a reserve bus ready to take over delayed courses, so it is very complicated even without the weekend-nightnetwork where the busses run routes combining 3 or more daytime lines.
    Thinking about all that i‘m surprised it only happend once to me so far (over 8 years of daily use)

What was surprising is how long I didn't cry for. It hurt SO BAD I DIDN'T CRY I just cursed and groaned and screamed for like 10 minutes before the tears could even come. So legos get curse words instead now and I hate those fake train kid toy things and I will give them a wide berth like some wild animal.

    Landlords are SUPPOSED to contribute to society. You may be renting but they're supposed to take care of the property and such. So you pay the rent, the landlord then uses that rent to do things like hire plumbers with the leftovers being their profit. The problem is... we now have a bunch of landlords who just let the property rot and force the clients to take care of it on their dime in addition to rent while the landlord does nothing beyond sic the police on people who can't pay.

    1:20 I legit saw a U.F.O. that could NOT have been human in broad daylight one afternoon in 2015.
    To preface, I have never consumed even a drop of alchohol in my entire life, no one in my family has any history of hallucinations, I have never touched any mind-altering chemical save caffeine, and even that is very rarely. I have no seeing disorders whatsoever, I was perfectly well-rested, and it was BROAD. DAYLIGHT. in a CLOUDLESS sky. I could not have been hallucinating, it could not have been a trick of the light.
    It started out with me looking up at the moon, which was visible at the time, when I noticed a glinting in the corner of my eye. I look over about 30° across the sky, and I can just barely make out a metallic, glinting object. It seems to move closer, and I can see it is a cylindrical, metallic object, silently out in the sky, no trail, no engine noise, just the quiet sound of my breath. It keeps getting a little closer and moving across the sky, towards the moon. It then slows down SIGNIFICANTLY, and passes in front of the moon, getting close enough to nearly see detail on the edge of the craft. Oh, how I WISHED I had a telescope at that moment. it then slowly curved around the moon, passing behind it, and not coming back out the other side, thus proving it was an actual object that far out by the moon. The whole sighting took less than a minute. I memorized the size as it curved around the moon, and did the math later; even on the small end, it was longer than THE STATE OF TENESSEE. No human craft is anywhere NEAR that big, no human STRUCTURE or even CITY is that big, much less craft, much less spacecraft. It clearly slowed down as it approached the moon, which no rock could have done.
    That was in 2015. If they wanted our resources or world or lives they would have taken it by now with that much tech. Thus, I posit they are neutral observers or aspiring aiders.
