Tip from therapy: look at the spot between the eyes. To the person you're talking to, this is indistinguishable from real eye contact. You just have to look away about every 20-30 seconds to make it seem even more natural. (And yes, I know that this is just masking and we shouldn't have to do this, but it can be helpful to play along in certain situations.)
@@goldenmoonlight1573 It sucks that people actually have to mask their disabilities instead of the person looking to hire actually doing 5 minutes of research about their employees issues and finding ways around their disability instead of outright rejecting them.

12:32 FunFact: In India, having blue eyes is considered kinda demonic. There's this guy from my alma mater who looks kind of South Asian and has very blue eyes. He made a career for himself in Bollywood playing villains and Asuras (demons in Hinduism).
I had greyish eyes with brown around the irises, that sort of matched what I was wearing. (I assume the reflected light from the clothes hitting them or just altering perception). 2-3 years after starting HRT my eyes were almost as blue as eyes can be. Similar things can happen to pregnant people, apparently. It was kind of terrifying, because I didn’t make the connection, because I didn’t notice until my wife was confused when I was putting the wrong eye colour in a form or something. I spent two weeks trying to figure out what happened. It FELT demonic. Friggin mazikeen.
@@riverstein7251 Thing is, I _think_ it predates colonialism, by a lot. I think blue eyes were, in Hindu mythology, a sign that someone was or was possessed by an Asura. But I'm happy for an actual Hindu or South Asian to correct me on that.

The Rugrats movie clip is even worse than you think for two reasons: 1) the context of that clip was that one of the babies was looking for someone else in their group to sniff his feet and tell if than stank or not. Because why only have one barely disguised fetish when you can have two? 2) when the movie was in theaters, they gave out “scratch and sniff” cards for the kids to smell certain scenes in the movie. That scene was one of them.
Aaa I went to see it in the cinema and had the scratch and sniff card 😭 most of them didn't really smell tbf which is probably a good thing. The strangeness completely went over my child self's head...
The Fairly Odd Parents answered your question years ago, Click. Timmy wished for everyone to look alike. Everyone turned into grey blobs. People still came up with: "We're the greyest and the blobbiest." WTF!?!
Ursula K. LeGuin used that in her novel *_The Lathe of Heaven,_* in which unwise wishes were granted in a different fashion, but with equally disastrous results.
@@GretchZ Someone recently observed that no Fascist state could really be considered a true "success" short of the Dear Leader cloning himself indefinitely, slightly beyond the ending of Norman Spinrad's *_The Iron Dream._*
12:41 I distinctly remember a fairly oddparents episode EXACTLY about this. Can't exactly recall the plot of the episode, but around the middle-end I think there was a bit where everyone was a grey blob and the antagonist of the ep was bragging about being "more grey and blob-y".
Shaving a poodle's feet in winter is actually normal. They have webbed toes and snow can get stuck in the curly hair, causing frostbite. I always did it with my poodle
You need to with a lot of long haired dogs. My Mom had a pekingese and we had to keep them trimmed or even shaved because massive ice balls would form on the hair. So not only ly was frostbite a risk, but it made it hard or even impossible to walk. He loved the snow though.
Jumping on the webbed toes, isn’t the ‘classic’ poodle cut also connected to them being waterfowl hunting dogs? The uncut parts of the coat protected vital organs from the cold, while the shaved parts voided water resistance, so that they could still swim quickly? I think it’s called the continental clip.
I have a Chipoodle that’s looking mighty shaggy right now with four paintbrushes for feet to boot. Gonna see about getting her cleaned up once I get paid again.

So, PETA once _demanded_ that the Village of Fishkill, NY, change it's name to something less "violent against animals." Fishkill is named after Fishkill Creek, a name kinda like "Table Mesa". You see, Fishkill is near Poughkeepsie, and both are in parts of NY that were one New Netherlands, so there are many many Dutch placenames in the area. An old Dutch word for "creek" is "kill", hence Walkill, Spackenkill, Killvan Kul, Katerskill, and Fishkill. Yes, "Fishkill Creek" is, literally, "Fish Creek Creek". Obviously, the Village of Fishkill just laughed in PETA's face. Sadly, I didn't hear about this until years later, because I wanted to write PETA _demanding_ that they also do something about the name, "Spackenkill," around them, "What about the poor spackens? _Why don't you care about spackens, PETA?!?!?"_
The 'work out' scams are worse than you think. They often take athletes who have an injury, pay them not to work out during their recovery and to eat a LOT to bulk up their fat to take the 'before' pics. Then, when the athlete gets back on their workout routine, they quickly shed everything due to their prepared metabolism and existing muscles and ability to work out far more of the day then working people. Then, they *might* have the person spend a bit of time on the 'diet' or 'pill' or whatever they are selling before taking the 'After' pics.
Irish Polish German (yes, Germans) Many Jews get white privilege much of the time (I know I do, usually) until you’re “found out” and people who actually care if someone’s white or not REALLY don’t consider you white.
Americans have discriminated against Italians, the Irish, Germans, and so on and so forth. Whatever fit whatever narrative was going on at that time. Race itself is a social construct that can be manipulated in so many different ways.
@@JadeGoodwinEsyl3 I get your point. I am just answering the question 'when we're all one race will that stop people from segregating people for other differences?'. The answer is no.
There was a time where only Anglo-Saxons were. Whiteness is a social construct with the only purpose of considering themselves better than others. I pass white quite often, which has led to me ending up in a place full of antisemites more than once. “Oh. I need to get the hell out of here.”
26:49 the parents wouldn't allow the corpse to be purchased for study, but had no problem putting the poor kid on display? Seems like their priorities were a bit flipped
I mean, yes, it's messed up, but it was also 18th century British-controlled India. That is a level of desperate poverty that few people alive today can comprehend. It was probably obvious that the twins were going to die young and at least this way the parents could have some money for their care, and maybe some for their other children. Even though it was awful, it might still have been the best option that they had. I'm also going to say that I am guessing that the child died of natural causes and the cobra thing was made up by/for the British. It sounds like children with this condition usually die very young. Death-by-cobra stinks of a writer's attempt to make the whole story more exotic. And the bit about the family being "very religious" reads to me as family trying to defend their children's right to rest in peace and not be exploited by the Brits. If it were purely about money they could have sold the body for a lot of cash. We'll never know for certain. It's a really rough situation all around. All I can say is that I hope that the remains can be reinterred. Given the history of English museums, however, I doubt it will happen.
As far as "brain poking" goes, that's part of why you sometimes see weird pictures of things like a person having brain surgery done on them while playing a violin. If the patient is awake during surgery, say the neurosurgeon is removing a tumor, the patient's experiences as the surgeon cuts through the brain can guide the surgery toward least loss of function.
The three goats story exists in English folklore too! It's known as "the three billy goats gruff" - billy goat being an old word for a male goat. It's used for a gag in a Discworld novel where someone (who's drunk) picks a fight with a troll by constantly making references to goats, which is a big no-no when talking to trolls.

With the way the statistics were shown, a good bit could be genuinely asking for unreasonable compensation. It's easy to find some cocky brat who thinks they're worth twice their market value, or a poor soul whose parent thinks they're worth twice their market value. Of course, some simply want what they're worth, and the recruiter thinks it's too much, but I have no problem imagining that enough people will be cocky that these recruiters has encountered it.
I bet that was the case! I don't understand why some people think those who are working an actual job don't deserve to have a living wage, just because of the type of job they have, like retail or in a fast food restaurant. A job is a job.
Regarding the Fox News Statistics, you know most of those people who "asked for unreasonable compensation" were just asking for a living wage and the job interviewers just called it unreasonable because they wanted to pay minimum wage or close to it.
If I had to take a guess, because of how misleading their stats were. The interviewers were talking more like "Yeah, this dude wanted $30 an hour when everyone else makes $15" etc etc . Less livable wages, and more literal unreasonable compensation. Maybe mix in a few that actually were just asking more than minimum wage, but if I had to take a guess, it's probably the former more than the later
@@caelodevorago608 IDK about that one. I've seen so many job recruiters complain that "people just don't want to work." because they're having trouble filling positions that offer slightly above minimum wage. And with that mentality, I could easily see them calling it unreasonable because someone wants all of $17/hr.
@@Apolloscleric yep. I saw a post (well post of a post) of a restaurant manager (owner?) bitching to high heaven that no one wants to work anymore and they are all super greedy for wanting more than the "generous benefits" being offered. Which was 50¢ over tipped minimum wage (which would've been like $2.13/hour at the time) and one week of unpaid leave per year. That's it. They couldn't figure out why all their staff was quitting to work at the restaurant across the street. You know, besides a few weeks of paid leave, an actual wage (like to the point they banned tipping because the menu prices accounted for the actual costs of employees), free meal on any shift over a certain number of hours, health insurance....
@@caelodevorago608 I mean, 30 is what I and many others would consider a livable wage and 15 is close to minimum wage in some (very few) places, kinda a poor example. If you wanted to argue that, it'd be more like asking for 100 an hour when everyone else makes 30.
@@StormTheSquid I'd say $20 is more livable. You can just about afford the basics, and not exactly struggle. But you can't afford anything extra. $40-$50 is what you need for a single person working in a family (Is what my mom makes, and she supports/supported 4 kids) but not get much else besides what you need There IS a difference between livable, and being able to *do* things with your money. Though IIRC, the real definition was like %30 or less of your wages go to living expenses (Or just rent?)
I read a kids book to my goddaughter, it was about giraffe who peed everywhere. He eventually joined to the fire department and put out fires. By peeing.

"In a Dark, Dark Room and Other Scary Stories" was a CHILDREN'S book I read when I was a kid, one of the stories was about someone named Jenny who had a ribbon around her neck. At the end of the story, she takes it off and her head falls off. 🙃
OOOh! I had that book! There was a story of this girl who rode the bus or subway with a guy and left behind her jacket and when he tracked down where she lived to give it back, her parents answered and told him she had died. I think he left the jacket at her gravestone.

God forbid you have a hobby. I see many people who pick up a hobby and think about making a job out of it, or at least some money.

21:32 please, have you read German children books?! There is one, soup casper who refused to eat his soup and got thinner till he just stopped existing and turned into dust. Then we have Struwwelpeter which is a boy that refused to look after himself and his fingernails got really long so they CHOPPED HIS FINGERS OFF. And of course Max and Moritz, two boys that play tricks on an old lady, fall into dough in a bakery, get baken in the oven and then crushed to little shreds as bread crumbs and then eaten by ducks. These stories are illustrated. Very graphic too. Basically ever child here is traumatised by these stories…
There is also the Kid that was always looking into the sky that fell into the river, or the girl that was playing with fire and got burned to Ashes... German children's stories are intense!
All these are age old and by the same author, I doubt they would still be published if written today - but they got cult status just like many questionable fairytales, I guess. Just not yet picked up and watered down by generations of people/Disney. Have you read other Wilhelm Busch stories, though? My parents have an ancient collection that I read as a kid (yeah, I'm German). I agree that his children's stories are terrifying, but at least the core morals are mostly fine... not so sure about some of the other stuff, seemed quite racist to me back then. I should re-read it tho now that I think about it. Could be a quite interesting insight in history.

21:43 do you know about the kid's story about a wolf eating 6 out of 7 baby goats (alive) and then the mother goat opens the wolf's stomach then fills it with heavy rocks before sewing it back, then the wolf wakes up and goes to drink water in a well before falling inside and drowning? I know it's a Grimm story but yeah, children's stories are *wild*
There’s an alternative version where the wolf puts them in a sack instead of eating them, so the mom cuts open the sack instead of the wolfs stomach. I preferred the stomach version as a kid. The moral of the story was to never open the door to strangers, because the mom told the kids not to open the door while she was out running errands, and the kids didn’t listen.
I remember this story and see thing is I never thought of it as particularly wild or dark. I think kids media these days are often very sanitized and adults believe children shouldn't be exposed to bleaker concept. Screw that! I always liked the slightly darker stuff, doesn't feel like it's talking down to kids.
I loved this version as a kid too. I don't really mind it but when you reread it you can't deny that it is kinda dark. It's not necessarily a bad thing tho
33:37 This text is Les Fourberies de Scapin, a 17th century Molière play. The image is probably trying to be "aesthetic" and "dark academia" which is slightly ruined by the chosen book being slapstick comedy
26:18 this case reminds me of a few things and makes me curious about the child's mental state but what you described (being conscious but unable to have senses or control of your own body) isn't actually sci-fi, it's real. There is a condition called Locked In Syndrome (LIS). It's a terrifying but very interesting condition in which a person becomes mostly or completely paralyzed and appears to be in a coma or vegetative state but they remain completely aware. In one form of the condition, the person loses all movement, including eye movement, but they are still completely aware. The condition is caused by damage to a part of the brainstem. There's a really interesting case where a person had this condition and was assumed to be in a coma for 12 years but in reality, he was fully aware for most of it, but no one bothered to see that his eyes were moving until one specific person did. It was a very interesting case to hear about

8:22 : Yeah, She'll be faithful to you for the rest of your life. All 10 seconds of it (shoves extendable jaws into the man's mouth biting the spine in half.)
Something I learned about character design: The darker the iris, the friendlier/cuter the character seems. Of course that's just a general rule and not the law.
It's tied into human psychology, as the pupils of the eye expand when we see something or someone we like. So when we are looking in the eye of someone friendly, their eyes appear darker than normal, because their pupils are dilated to let them see more of us. 🧡 So we relate darker eyes to friendliness. (Edited bc I pressed send too soon, lmao)
33:15 I mean at a very quick glance it looks awful, but when you actually pause and look at it and realize its not dirt, grime or ... other things ... on the walls, its actually a very cool and interesting looking bathroom. Honestly I'd love having a bathroom that looked like that.
21:06 We have this one in English, too, under the title "Three Billy Goats Gruff"; it was first translated from the original Norwegian over 150 years ago and is today a pretty commonly read children's story, right up there with any of Grimms' Fairy Tales.
18:32 the funny thing is, of all those 6 phrases, I've heard 2... And those were "Beat the meat" and "Flick the bean". I've never ever heard someone say "shuck the oyster" or "whipping the weasel".
For the limb lengthening procedures, they do that to the arms as well. Each part of the arms are done separately like the legs. So you would be in those contractions for YEARS, having your limbs pulled apart as the bone grows to fill the gaps. However, it isn't guaranteed that the new bones is going to be strong enough to hold you up. You could potentially end up in a wheelchair if you new bones can't support you. I have dwarfism and my family and I were asked about this for me. We all said NO! I still would have dwarfism and none of my medical conditions that goes along with it will go away. Unfortunately there parents choose to do this to their kids with dwarfism for a few inches, because they want their kids to be "normal" and without their consent sometimes.
3:34 An important thing to note about this one is that UA-cam was literally just complying with copyright law in this case. The whole transformative thing isn't as generous as a lot of people make it out to be; if you want to parody a song, you need to actually license it. Most movie parodies have a whole cast of original characters in an original setting probably for this same reason. If it's only kinda similiar to the thing they're parodying, then they don't have to license it. So in short: Just making something a parody doesn't automatically make it transformative. There are a few more steps to it than that.
Just give the mom a black box, call it her son's "UA-cam" channel. Then after she breaks it or locks it away or whatever, have her son's friends start panicking saying "Oh no! Is UA-cam is broken!? What did you do!!?? Don't tell me you broke it!!?? You broke UA-cam!!!" Then watch her panic. 🤣

Young women are becoming more liberal and young men are becoming more conservative for some reason. No wonder dating will become difficult. In this polarized time, it's almost impossible to compromise. And I will not give up my rights. And if a guy wants me to give up rights, then he can get the hell away from me. I'm perfectly fine without a partner. Better alone, than in a toxic relationship.
Ugh, I've been seeing this out in the real world too. A lot of guys my age or younger can seem normal, then the topic of women or relationships comes up and they drop the foulest crap I've ever heard. 'Shockingly', I've noticed women being more and more guarded towards straight men. Gee, I wonder why. And the worst part is, this new wave of sexist BS is designed to feed on that response. They act toxic to women, women respond poorly. This affirms their idea that women are crazy. Repeat. I don't know how this can possibly resolve.

12:32 FunFact: In India, having blue eyes is considered kinda demonic. There's this guy from my alma mater who looks kind of South Asian and has very blue eyes. He made a career for himself in Bollywood playing villains and Asuras (demons in Hinduism).
You know considering how colonialism went down in India I don’t blame them 😂
Wow, it’s almost like “differences” are seen as bad in most societies and has only recently been challenged.
I had greyish eyes with brown around the irises, that sort of matched what I was wearing. (I assume the reflected light from the clothes hitting them or just altering perception).
2-3 years after starting HRT my eyes were almost as blue as eyes can be.
Similar things can happen to pregnant people, apparently.
It was kind of terrifying, because I didn’t make the connection, because I didn’t notice until my wife was confused when I was putting the wrong eye colour in a form or something.

The Rugrats movie clip is even worse than you think for two reasons:
1) the context of that clip was that one of the babies was looking for someone else in their group to sniff his feet and tell if than stank or not. Because why only have one barely disguised fetish when you can have two?
2) when the movie was in theaters, they gave out “scratch and sniff” cards for the kids to smell certain scenes in the movie. That scene was one of them.

Shaving a poodle's feet in winter is actually normal. They have webbed toes and snow can get stuck in the curly hair, causing frostbite. I always did it with my poodle
You need to with a lot of long haired dogs. My Mom had a pekingese and we had to keep them trimmed or even shaved because massive ice balls would form on the hair. So not only ly was frostbite a risk, but it made it hard or even impossible to walk. He loved the snow though.
Jumping on the webbed toes, isn’t the ‘classic’ poodle cut also connected to them being waterfowl hunting dogs? The uncut parts of the coat protected vital organs from the cold, while the shaved parts voided water resistance, so that they could still swim quickly? I think it’s called the continental clip.

So, PETA once _demanded_ that the Village of Fishkill, NY, change it's name to something less "violent against animals."
Fishkill is named after Fishkill Creek, a name kinda like "Table Mesa".
You see, Fishkill is near Poughkeepsie, and both are in parts of NY that were one New Netherlands, so there are many many Dutch placenames in the area. An old Dutch word for "creek" is "kill", hence Walkill, Spackenkill, Killvan Kul, Katerskill, and Fishkill. Yes, "Fishkill Creek" is, literally, "Fish Creek Creek".
Obviously, the Village of Fishkill just laughed in PETA's face.
Sadly, I didn't hear about this until years later, because I wanted to write PETA _demanding_ that they also do something about the name, "Spackenkill," around them, "What about the poor spackens? _Why don't you care about spackens, PETA?!?!?"_

Given that there was a time when America as a country didn't consoder Italians to be white, there will always be some kind of segregation in america

the parents wouldn't allow the corpse to be purchased for study, but had no problem putting the poor kid on display? Seems like their priorities were a bit flipped
I mean, yes, it's messed up, but it was also 18th century British-controlled India. That is a level of desperate poverty that few people alive today can comprehend. It was probably obvious that the twins were going to die young and at least this way the parents could have some money for their care, and maybe some for their other children. Even though it was awful, it might still have been the best option that they had.
I'm also going to say that I am guessing that the child died of natural causes and the cobra thing was made up by/for the British. It sounds like children with this condition usually die very young. Death-by-cobra stinks of a writer's attempt to make the whole story more exotic. And the bit about the family being "very religious" reads to me as family trying to defend their children's right to rest in peace and not be exploited by the Brits. If it were purely about money they could have sold the body for a lot of cash.
We'll never know for certain. It's a really rough situation all around. All I can say is that I hope that the remains can be reinterred. Given the history of English museums, however, I doubt it will happen.

As far as "brain poking" goes, that's part of why you sometimes see weird pictures of things like a person having brain surgery done on them while playing a violin.

The three goats story exists in English folklore too! It's known as "the three billy goats gruff" - billy goat being an old word for a male goat.

With the way the statistics were shown, a good bit could be genuinely asking for unreasonable compensation. It's easy to find some cocky brat who thinks they're worth twice their market value, or a poor soul whose parent thinks they're worth twice their market value. Of course, some simply want what they're worth, and the recruiter thinks it's too much, but I have no problem imagining that enough people will be cocky that these recruiters has encountered it.
I bet that was the case! I don't understand why some people think those who are working an actual job don't deserve to have a living wage, just because of the type of job they have, like retail or in a fast food restaurant. A job is a job.

Regarding the Fox News Statistics, you know most of those people who "asked for unreasonable compensation" were just asking for a living wage and the job interviewers just called it unreasonable because they wanted to pay minimum wage or close to it.
If I had to take a guess, because of how misleading their stats were. The interviewers were talking more like "Yeah, this dude wanted $30 an hour when everyone else makes $15" etc etc . Less livable wages, and more literal unreasonable compensation.
Maybe mix in a few that actually were just asking more than minimum wage, but if I had to take a guess, it's probably the former more than the later
@@caelodevorago608 IDK about that one. I've seen so many job recruiters complain that "people just don't want to work." because they're having trouble filling positions that offer slightly above minimum wage. And with that mentality, I could easily see them calling it unreasonable because someone wants all of $17/hr.
@@Apolloscleric yep. I saw a post (well post of a post) of a restaurant manager (owner?) bitching to high heaven that no one wants to work anymore and they are all super greedy for wanting more than the "generous benefits" being offered.

They couldn't figure out why all their staff was quitting to work at the restaurant across the street. You know, besides a few weeks of paid leave, an actual wage (like to the point they banned tipping because the menu prices accounted for the actual costs of employees), free meal on any shift over a certain number of hours, health insurance....
@@caelodevorago608 I mean, 30 is what I and many others would consider a livable wage and 15 is close to minimum wage in some (very few) places, kinda a poor example. If you wanted to argue that, it'd be more like asking for 100 an hour when everyone else makes 30.
@@StormTheSquid I'd say $20 is more livable. You can just about afford the basics, and not exactly struggle. But you can't afford anything extra.

At 37:00 germany actally banned reference to nazis, sympathising with nazis, and even wearing swastikas. So thats probably why they would do something like this..
"In a Dark, Dark Room and Other Scary Stories" was a CHILDREN'S book I read when I was a kid, one of the stories was about someone named Jenny who had a ribbon around her neck. At the end of the story, she takes it off and her head falls off. 🙃
OOOh! I had that book! There was a story of this girl who rode the bus or subway with a guy and left behind her jacket and when he tracked down where she lived to give it back, her parents answered and told him she had died. I think he left the jacket at her gravestone.
10:25 I’ll be goddamed if Schneider somehow bribed his way into writing this scene!
Regarding the statistics about the recruiting stuff - In German we have a saying: "Traue keiner Stastik, die du nicht selbst gefälscht hast" - "never trust a statistic, you didn't made up yourself" 😅
That UA-cam one belongs in r/narcissisticparents as well. This sounds like something my stepmother or my foster carers would do. Like if I came home from school one day and they would have been like, "Hey I threw away your £300 guitar because being a musician is useless, k byeee".
God forbid you have a hobby. I see many people who pick up a hobby and think about making a job out of it, or at least some money. I saw it too with one of my hobbies and I sort of thought that was a kind of normal, until I saw someone who just started a sport (in their 30's) talking about becoming a professional and I realised how stupid that was. Now my hobbies are just hobbies. They're supposed to cost money and take time, and in return I have a lot of fun doing it.
@@Horstinkistan yep. People are forever telling me to turn my crocheting into a job. Like no, I do it for fun, and no one would pay enough to be worth it. Either because some things take way too long to make, or it wouldn't be enough to be worth doing. Nobody would pay $2,000 for a simple knit scarf, and that would only be $10/hour, not even supplies.
@@waffles3629This is exactly what I tell family members who think I should sell things. I'll hold up a hat and go "This took me most of a day to make. Do you want to pay $80 for it?". My brother- in- law was particularly enthusiastic about me starting my own business until I pointed this out.
It's wild that putting your kid in a freak show is not considered desecration but selling their body to science is
Quite a lot of religions require rituals involving the corpse for the soul to get a good afterlife. And it _was_ two hundred years ago.
I was given one of those fake folded bills years ago, it looked like a $5. I was like 9 or 10 when someone gave it to me at a fair, and I was just disappointed that someone thought it was a good idea to trick a random child.
Now, I get mad whenever I see those fake bills, because I can't understand how others can leave them in a homeless person's hand or as a tip to the wait staff.
16:00 that makes the 50% that had trouble maintain eye contact make sense, the types of neuro divergencies that cause that are common but they also make it hard to get through college.
21:32 please, have you read German children books?!
There is one, soup casper who refused to eat his soup and got thinner till he just stopped existing and turned into dust.
Then we have Struwwelpeter which is a boy that refused to look after himself and his fingernails got really long so they CHOPPED HIS FINGERS OFF.
And of course Max and Moritz, two boys that play tricks on an old lady, fall into dough in a bakery, get baken in the oven and then crushed to little shreds as bread crumbs and then eaten by ducks.
These stories are illustrated. Very graphic too. Basically ever child here is traumatised by these stories…
There is also the Kid that was always looking into the sky that fell into the river, or the girl that was playing with fire and got burned to Ashes...
German children's stories are intense!
Or the girl who wouldn't stop playing with matches... we all know how that ended (I literally have all these stories etched into my mind)
All these are age old and by the same author, I doubt they would still be published if written today - but they got cult status just like many questionable fairytales, I guess. Just not yet picked up and watered down by generations of people/Disney.
Have you read other Wilhelm Busch stories, though? My parents have an ancient collection that I read as a kid (yeah, I'm German). I agree that his children's stories are terrifying, but at least the core morals are mostly fine... not so sure about some of the other stuff, seemed quite racist to me back then.
I should re-read it tho now that I think about it. Could be a quite interesting insight in history.
we just learned about suppenkaspar and struwwlpeter in my german class (i’m american) and i have been thinking about it constantly. it’s HORRIFYING. i mean to be fair in american schools we have to do intruder drills so ig we’re even
The one I heard about in my high school german class (american) was the thumb sucker, where if a child wouldnt stop sucking their thumbs a thing would come and cut them off with scissors
21:43 do you know about the kid's story about a wolf eating 6 out of 7 baby goats (alive) and then the mother goat opens the wolf's stomach then fills it with heavy rocks before sewing it back, then the wolf wakes up and goes to drink water in a well before falling inside and drowning? I know it's a Grimm story but yeah, children's stories are *wild*
Yes. The the 7 little kids. Goat propaganda. Anti-wolf reteric. Pure fabrication. Lupophobia is a nasty stain and pure slander by the Brothers Grimm.
There’s an alternative version where the wolf puts them in a sack instead of eating them, so the mom cuts open the sack instead of the wolfs stomach. I preferred the stomach version as a kid.
The moral of the story was to never open the door to strangers, because the mom told the kids not to open the door while she was out running errands, and the kids didn’t listen.
I remember this story and see thing is I never thought of it as particularly wild or dark. I think kids media these days are often very sanitized and adults believe children shouldn't be exposed to bleaker concept. Screw that! I always liked the slightly darker stuff, doesn't feel like it's talking down to kids.
I loved this version as a kid too. I don't really mind it but when you reread it you can't deny that it is kinda dark. It's not necessarily a bad thing tho
@@Cyuutie Really ? I used to feel bad for the wolf
33:37 This text is Les Fourberies de Scapin, a 17th century Molière play. The image is probably trying to be "aesthetic" and "dark academia" which is slightly ruined by the chosen book being slapstick comedy
26:18 this case reminds me of a few things and makes me curious about the child's mental state but what you described (being conscious but unable to have senses or control of your own body) isn't actually sci-fi, it's real. There is a condition called Locked In Syndrome (LIS). It's a terrifying but very interesting condition in which a person becomes mostly or completely paralyzed and appears to be in a coma or vegetative state but they remain completely aware. In one form of the condition, the person loses all movement, including eye movement, but they are still completely aware. The condition is caused by damage to a part of the brainstem. There's a really interesting case where a person had this condition and was assumed to be in a coma for 12 years but in reality, he was fully aware for most of it, but no one bothered to see that his eyes were moving until one specific person did. It was a very interesting case to hear about
I have no mouth and I must scream
33:52 Lady at my grandmothers church thinks she's come up with a great idea leaving religious literature dressed up as a thank you for good service cards ( along with a tip, 20% everytime). I face palmed
Shaved paws is a common part of most standard haircuts for poodles, actually. It's not just a weird thing that person's mom did.
Yeah, as a matter of fact you need to shave them every once in a while as they were very prone to clumping hairs that could cause fungal infection in their skins.
Bcuz big fluff = hard to dry.
Yeah, not uncommon, but still looks freaky af...
Moment of weirdness when my brain read that as “Shaved prawns…”
"But your son could retire at 21."
"No, he's going to the mines!!!"
The thing that came to mind with the Area 51 post:
Right! The alien women will be faithful for the rest of YOUR life…
Aka till the Eggsack she layed in your belly burst!
From all I've seen of the Alien frachise, yeah, they'll kill anyone that gets within ten feet of you because they're hyper protective... Of their parasitic child that's gonna kill ya in about three or four hours. What fun! Except aliens actually aren't even loyal to each other, there's at least one movie out there where one colony member kills another to use their blood as a blowtorch to get wherever they wanna go to and I'm pretty sure in at least one movie a queen straight up crushes at least one of her subjects. You do you ig but that's not the alien franchise I'd go with... ^^' (also, I have no clue how gender is even supposed to work in that species but I'm pretty sure the workers are all technically males considering their roles, so...)
@@discordiacreates6669 Lore details tend to vary with different hives. Hives basically function as independent xenomorph nations and can be really distinct from each other. Socially only the ruling "class" actually matters. Anything below that is very much like ants in real life. Disposable. The one difference is that every single member of a xenomorph hive is female since metamorphosis exists where drones can evolve to warriors and etc until they reach queen status.
@@ghalano2993 yeah I was guessing they're all female at least biologically but I always thought of the drones as males. Though, they're just strange in general as such large and complex parasites because male or female, someone else gives "birth" to their children either way, so I doubt we can actually really accurately compare them to humans and how they operate or perceive such roles. Still though, nasty creatures, but the hierarchy in different colonies is pretty intetesting. Not sure how humans rank among them though, my guess is they rank anywhere from a pest species to food so still, can't imagine if they suddenly popped into existence anyone would actually wanna try to date one because, sure, they'll protect the hosts of their larva... About as well as a raccoon protects a trash can or a dog protects their food bowl, the vessel itself likely has even less respect then a drone in the more feral colonies
My brain just started to sing Simple Plan - My Alien
I tried to get Chrome on my dad's laptop that I got him for Christmas and, when I looked it up, Edge was like "You already have a browser! Use me instead!" To make it more annoying, I couldn't figure out how to turn off the thing that made it impossible to install non Windows programs. My sister eventually figured it out but I was so upset.

That book already exists and was published in 1982. It's called Mindkiller (by Spider Robinson), and it takes place in a future where people can plug a cord into the pleasure center of their brains and plug the other end into an outlet and just bliss out for a while. It has safeguards to prevent using it for too long continuously or at too high an amperage, but with the right equipment (a screwdriver), you can disable the safeguards and just euphoria yourself to death by ignoring all of your physical needs for sufficiently long.
Nice pull!
The device described was first written about in Larry Niven's Ringworld. Called a Droud. A remote controlled version in the form of a full transcranial implant called a "tasp" is used to control one of the main characters to keep their feral rage in cheque.
Frikin wireheads man.
Actually back in my 20s I accidentally got involved with an MLM that sold spicy goods. We actually sold copies of romance novels printed on a plastic, waterproof paper for customers to enjoy while taking a relaxing bath. Don't remember any of them being in French, but that's funny!
Wait, MLM as in Multi Level Marketing or MLM as in Men loving Men...
Because with Romance novels, that's a legitimate question :P
@@Sigmund_Froid It was one of those companies that sold stuff by getting 'agents' to hold sales parties. Like back in the day with Tupperware or jewelry or...candles, I think? It was a scam. Throw parties, sell products, recruit friends, etc. Do all the company's work for them, get pennies on the dollar. I was a 23 yr old kid, stop judging me! Lol!
@@Sigmund_Froid Both?
That's actually a good idea tho tbh. I wonder if any of the romance novels were any good.

My parents have threatened to take my channel for various things.
-If I ever get into any fandoms they don't like.

-Many other stupid things.

Fun fact - in Australia our Aus Post (post offices) are only open 9/9.30 am to 4.30 pm weekdays!
Some are open 9am to 12pm Saturdays too. But still!
It makes it super hard, especially for those who work 6 days a week (which many people in Australia do) to be able to utilise the post office in *any* way.
We also have a *lot* of shops that are only open 9 am to 5 pm weekdays only. And I mean a *lot* of shops are like this. It sucks.

8:50 in the novel "Empyrean Iris" also known as "Humans are space Orks". This happens. There are a bunch of chapters on how humans, being the jack of all trades that they are, sometimes gets in relationships with aliens and this causes a bit of a social crisis.

@@RothAnimTHIS I WAS SO CONFUSED
@@RothAnim Glad I wasn't the only one who noticed that 😂
Something I learned about character design: The darker the iris, the friendlier/cuter the character seems. Of course that's just a general rule and not the law.
It's tied into human psychology, as the pupils of the eye expand when we see something or someone we like. So when we are looking in the eye of someone friendly, their eyes appear darker than normal, because their pupils are dilated to let them see more of us. 🧡 So we relate darker eyes to friendliness. (Edited bc I pressed send too soon, lmao)
33:15 I mean at a very quick glance it looks awful, but when you actually pause and look at it and realize its not dirt, grime or ... other things ... on the walls, its actually a very cool and interesting looking bathroom. Honestly I'd love having a bathroom that looked like that.
21:06 We have this one in English, too, under the title "Three Billy Goats Gruff"; it was first translated from the original Norwegian over 150 years ago and is today a pretty commonly read children's story, right up there with any of Grimms' Fairy Tales.

For the limb lengthening procedures, they do that to the arms as well. Each part of the arms are done separately like the legs. So you would be in those contractions for YEARS, having your limbs pulled apart as the bone grows to fill the gaps. However, it isn't guaranteed that the new bones is going to be strong enough to hold you up. You could potentially end up in a wheelchair if you new bones can't support you.
I have dwarfism and my family and I were asked about this for me. We all said NO! I still would have dwarfism and none of my medical conditions that goes along with it will go away. Unfortunately there parents choose to do this to their kids with dwarfism for a few inches, because they want their kids to be "normal" and without their consent sometimes.
3:34 An important thing to note about this one is that UA-cam was literally just complying with copyright law in this case. The whole transformative thing isn't as generous as a lot of people make it out to be; if you want to parody a song, you need to actually license it. Most movie parodies have a whole cast of original characters in an original setting probably for this same reason. If it's only kinda similiar to the thing they're parodying, then they don't have to license it.
So in short: Just making something a parody doesn't automatically make it transformative. There are a few more steps to it than that.
Just give the mom a black box, call it her son's "UA-cam" channel. Then after she breaks it or locks it away or whatever, have her son's friends start panicking saying "Oh no! Is UA-cam is broken!? What did you do!!?? Don't tell me you broke it!!?? You broke UA-cam!!!" Then watch her panic. 🤣

Young women are becoming more liberal and young men are becoming more conservative for some reason. No wonder dating will become difficult. In this polarized time, it's almost impossible to compromise. And I will not give up my rights. And if a guy wants me to give up rights, then he can get the hell away from me. I'm perfectly fine without a partner. Better alone, than in a toxic relationship.
So nice of conservatives to leave all the women to us progressive polyamorous pagans

Ugh, I've been seeing this out in the real world too. A lot of guys my age or younger can seem normal, then the topic of women or relationships comes up and they drop the foulest crap I've ever heard.
'Shockingly', I've noticed women being more and more guarded towards straight men. Gee, I wonder why.
And the worst part is, this new wave of sexist BS is designed to feed on that response. They act toxic to women, women respond poorly. This affirms their idea that women are crazy. Repeat.

I brought my mom along the first time I had an interview for moral support BUT she stayed in the car and waited for me to get done.
Also, from what I have seen it is generally the parent forcing themselves into every inch of their child’s life. Not that the child chose for their parent to be there.
32:55 in the human centipede, the director had to stop actors from eating the shit in between shots because the chocolate-coconut mixture was so delicious!

I love the 'Panzerkampfwagen' description for the Tesla truck. I find it absolutely hilarious that it's described as a literal tank.
