I’m a simple girl. I hear Lexi, I smile.
Same here!
@@SunnyYT_.Same here!
real
Yeah, she has a really cheerful personality
Same!
I love it when Lexi gets a subreddit that she can really nerd out over.
it''s a she?
@@Alxyzz yeah. she's really open about being trans. I think she said she didnt do vocal training so she could still do funny voices.
@@Ecliptic-P , I'm a bit new if it comes to this topic, but if you take Testosterone or oestrogen pills or I don't know. Doesn't your voice automatically Become more deeper or higher?
@@Alxyzz I believe so, but I'm not sure, sorry @LexiKitty for not knowing your pronouns.
@@Alxyzz no. Deeper voices are harder to reverse than high ones
Having individual hosts and having Lexi be able to completely geek out just warms my soul. Same with Jack and Robin. Watching their strengths and listening to their passions just makes me so happy.
for the clearing barrel one the letters "ND" stands for Negligent Discharge. for example if you fire off a live round or a blank without a proper target or at something, someone, or pointed anywhere even accidentally is very VERY frowned upon and will get you in very hot water. ive seen and heard it happen many times, and the person that had the ND got yelled at for a long ass time.
Glad I am never joining the military. I hate being yelled at
ahhhh okay thank you!
@@TempestDarkwound i respect that but i aint workin food service so ill take the yelling and occasional pushups
I just replied this before checking further down, oh well, a day late and a dollar short
@@Spentbrass42 I’m an aspiring actor and currently doing an online job while I build my acting resume/take classes
The double wicket door looks like a great option for cat/dog households. Not so much households with small children, as bathrooms are so often used as "quiet time" & kids are not nearly as enjoyable to have warming your lap while pooping in the winter. I take muscle relaxers for spine pain & painsomnia, so when I get up to pee in the middle of the night, I will often fall asleep on the toilet. My bathroom door is always open (live alone with my cat) since after 5 min, my cat will come paw/yowl me awake to come back to bed. He sleeps between my knees (where I have bone death/avascular necrosis), keeping them warm like a mild heat pack, so he really is a more like a service cat than an ESA; he refuses to leave the house, though, so no need to challenge the definition (not that his self trained "services" can be used out side the home anyway).
OMG, I forgot about my "stress balls" (Baoding balls)! I used to stim/fidget with those all the time as a kid, one of my many self medicating attempts for undiagnosed AuDHD at the time. Its funny how many makeshift/historical stim/fidget toys actually existed before they became trendy via fidget spinners.

Congratulations, you now have Syphilis
it’s so nice seeing such a positive comment section and i firmly believe it’s literally bc of lexi being such a sweetheart
Hi
I know its amazing.
5:22 I collect bones and bone carvings, the moment I saw this object I said "that's gotta be bone". Was really excited but not surprised that I was right! I've been working with these guys as a hobby for a few months now.
This was such a fun video to watch and listen to! I had fun guessing along with Lexi although I didn't get any of them right!
I got the tea strainer but only because I had one similar😂
well, you might, cause all these answers are wrong by default XD
0:10 it's clearly a part of the cyclops engine from Subnautica
ND (20:15) means negligent discharge. Basically anytime you fire a gun accidentally.
Thank you
Lexi is my favorite narrator by far.
Lies Damien is better
Do you understand what an opinion is?
@@theotherrori nah lexi is the best narrator
yes 😊
Yes. An inspriation
Lexi is the best narrator, no competition. All of the narrators are amazing, Lexi is just extra amazing.
idk, they're all pretty cool. no need to put them all down :3
I have realized this since then. They're all awesome.@@baconiumo
I know
I swear to god you give a metal pipe and drill random holes in it and you have something to distract Lexi for about an hour.
Props to Lexi for pronouncing the dutch word "dak kant spiegel " prefectly!
In German, this word is almost recognizable as "Dachkanten-Spiegel", which would be "roof-edge mirror" or "gable mirror". I guess it's the included angle between the two mirror parts?
yay! glad I got that haha
So this was the original "true mirror" :D
@@DerMarkus1982"roof edge mirror" is also what the word means in Dutch (although the word "kant" can be used for both the meaning "edge" and "side".
Fun to see a example of the close relation between ouer languages in the wild!
5:16 when you said this I was like "no I'm not, 72" and then I shut the heck up because that was my phone's battery percent and either an insane coincidence or I'm bad at random numbers.
Lexi is my favorite narrator, especially on the subreddits that make you think and question, though I do love her take on wholesome memes and r/aww, too. Always brings a smile to my heart.
5:57 OOOH THIS IS ACTUALLY REALLY INTERESTING
ok, for context here - I am an archaeology grad from Yorkshire. bone tools have been a thing for AGES (i mean it’s an easy to get material and can be worked with stone tools, so it’s something humans have been doing for like…forever. also holds up pretty well), so this is sick as fuck. we also have a lot of seaside towns with a lot of development coming from the Victorian era, with houses and hotels popping up a lot. a lot of these towns were also fishing and whaling towns, and stuff like whalebones were used a LOT in the victorian era for stuff like high-end corsets, as they’d be used to make the boning, basically the sticks in a corset that make it work.
there’s also a giant fucking whale jaw arch in my favourite one of those various towns (Whitby - it’s across the harbour from the abbey)
but yeah, really cool, especially with the context of Yorkshire and use of bone as a material
We just got a new cat who was named before we got her. Her name is Ember which isn't a great name for her imo. But we give all of our cats the same middle name (Andrew for boys, Kay for girls) and I've taken to calling her EmKay :)
aww that’s adorable, pet your cats and have a great day
So...... I am "Normaly" a fan of 'Jack the Snack that Smiles Back' and his "NutSauce"(tm) sandwiches from this channel... but Lexi on THIS thread is Gold! I want more of this! Especially with the guessing! Lol

Aw thanks

ND is a negligent discharge
When you fire a weapon through being careless, something you can be charged for in the military
20:20 A minor correction to Lexi, clearing is more meant for the removing of a chambered round. You are correct in always treating the weapon as loaded and using the clearing chamber to lock the slide back on an empty weapon. The clearing chamber is also used to load a round into the chamber.
NG stands for Negligent Discharge, which I believe is any discharge that was not caused by a malfunction or was not intentional. And I think an unintentional discharge would be if there was a weapon malfunction causing it to go off, not entirely sure if they are separated like that or both are considered a NG. If a weapon fires when it shouldn't be fired, someone will most likely get in trouble unless it can be shown it was a malfunction and that maintenance was properly done. Discharging the weapon because the ship was swaying certainly would not be a valid excuse, with a minor possibility of leniency if you got thrown against a wall with a witness testifying the safety was on before you were thrown.
ND = negligent discharge
Thank you
26:30. That mirror might just be used on street corners in the cities. "Dak" means roof. The higher angle allows for greater field of view. "Kant" means the side of something, but we use that word to point out the street corners sometimes. "Aan Die Kant" or On That Side. And the world "Spiegel" means mirror. So basically it might be used to see both angles of the street for both sides.
@@moon-moth1 oke 👍
3:21 its a pole ram. Its used to ram (wooden) poles into the ground, was most likely was forgotten by the construction company
11:15 all I could think of was the me with your balls meme💀💀
I really hope that Lexi reads through these comments. I mean obviously, she’s amazing, and I love seeing her get really into these videos, but it’s so nice seeing how the whole comment section is filled with people saying how much they love Lexi. THIS, my friend, is the good side of the internet.
Oh, that thing on 9:14 it's called canthing (C H. An. Ting) it's usually used for our traditional clothes called batik.
My aunt and uncle working their clothes using these.
This is the best sub for the channel, trying to guess what the object is with the narrators is so fun
When you mentioned that the door didn't look durable enough to be used for that kind of thing, it reminded me of this:
My grandpa did woodworking stuff, and he was once tasked to make an extra thick door to be used at a mental institution, or something like it.
But the forklift operator accidentally hit the door instead of the pallet, and the piece of wood was then too thin, so he had to order a new one.
He ended up using one of the halves to make a dining table that ended up being placed in the cabin he built by hand.
The "Dak Kant Spiegel" is for production photography, you misunderstood. It's for reversing negatives so your negatives aren't backwards. For the longest time, film cameras flipped images, though they later figured out how to deal with that.
I must see Lexi in either of the boots she described wearing, preferably at a range, with hearing and eye protection.
Lexi is Legally Blind (she has Optic Nerve Damage so she can see, just not very well) so the chances of ever seeing her at a Range are slim...very, Very, VERY slim...
And if you DO ever see her at a Range WITH a weapon in hand, RUN!!!!!!!!!!!!! cause she can't see the Target very well and who knows where the round is about to go...
😄😁😆😅😂🤣
@@HappilyHomicidalHooligan I know Lexi is legally blind. Some blind people can shoot with a partner and Lexi sounds like she knows about the sport. It's just an image I'd love to see.
20:14 ND means "negligent discharge", which USUALLY means your firearm went off due to carelessness or a mistake on your part, as opposed to "accidental discharge" where it's a mechanical fault or otherwise something you could not have controlled, like a hangfire. Key note: just because it might technically be safe to let off a round into those stations does not make it okay to do so. I would assume that they're there "just in case" of a ND or a mechanical failure, so that no one gets hurt. It doesn't make it okay to fire into one, even by mistake, because you shouldn't be making those kinds of mistakes with firearms in the first place.
Petition to see Lexi's cool boots
Lexi is the best narrator! I love hearing her nerd out over stuff, brings me joy!
I hear Dogsong faintly in the distance. I feel the need to pet a pupper in a giant suit of knight armor now.
steal a fluffy white dog and buy a suit of armor, then put the dog in it and pet it
legend has it you’ll find snow with money in it near the doggo’s doghouse
Answer for 1:13 is incorrect. It's not a clock. It is a marble ballot box for blind votes.
They're correct that the "back" is actually the front, but not for a clock face. There are shelves inside the circular hole that would hold black and white marbles. One puts their hand into the round hole, selects a marble for their choice (eg. White means yes, black means no), the round entrance is so you can insert your hand and make your selection without anyone else seeing which you picked, above the shelves there is a hole in the box to drop a marble into the back section with the covered glass window. Once everyone has cast a vote the panel covering the glass window is opened and the marbles are counted without opening the box and handling the marbles, so there is no chance of tampering as the box remains sealed.
I actually think they're super cool and a great way for a small-ish group to cast a blind vote. Super interesting design.
13:59 without hearing the comments, I think this is one of those really old doors where you can open just the top half to talk to people and keep the bottom half closed to keep pets or animals inside!
20:10
ND or Negligent Discharge (Same thing as Unintentional)
The point of the device is so that if you do ND while unloading your weapon (Almost always after training), it will be inside a "safe" place.
But having a ND in the first place is a very big no no, so doing it right where everyone else is (especially your commander/boss)... You're gonna get a chewing out, and likely Article 15'd (commander issued to reprimand you for misconduct).
those steps are clearly for kids to learn at an early age what they will be seeing in the future. they can't go on their knees easily so we just gotta elevate the other person
Lexi is violently nerdy? We never would’ve guessed
When I heard the description of the meditation balls, I was like, "that sounds like..." and the pic came up and I got excited. I used to use those when I was little. And now I'm doing contact juggling on and off.
i love lexi! i sware even an hour of her doing vids would not be long enugh. every time she is on a video seams to go by so fast.
On the clearing barrel, yep, as much as it is intended to stop a Negligent Discharge (That is what ND stands for) if you do actually ND in one you are in big trouble. Had a friend accidentally do that on a range and the range guy came out of that tower like a mad pit bull and kicked him off the range.
Whenever a video has Lexi narrating, I have to watch the whole thing. Lexi is one of my favorite narrators, she rocks!
18:14
Nah, those steps lead to a play set that walked away.
Yeah, I had the feeling the last one was some kind of tea strainer from the mesh. I used to work at an apothecary (plant-based pharmacy, basically), and there were all sorts of tea wands that were like that. Herbal teas were often "treatments," but that's a pseudo-science. No wands that I've seen compressed the tea leaves like that, though. It's definitely an overexpensive product.
Right? I've seen tea strainers more interesting for like 1/3 of the price
and besides which, it's too small for tea leaves, they'd be too crowded to give you a good brew. might as well just use a teabag at that point.
"with nothing for scale --"
woodgrain: "Am I a joke to you??!"
I believe "ND" in the clearing chamber story means "negligent discharge."
17:30 The word you were looking for was "flip phone", or "dumb phone". I now feel like some ancient mummy because when I grew up that was just what cell phone MEANT.
Edit: Also, ND in this context means negligent discharge. Means the same thing as accidental, except that the only way to have an accident in this context is by being negligent with something that demands far more care, which the terminology is meant to drive home.
Edit again lol: No, they meant production photography - using photography as a step in printing. Unreadable means it's still backwards from the camera's apparatus, which is normally reversed in producing the positive, but when you're doing production photography, you need the negative to be readable - not-backwards - which uses this apparatus to do. I am not well versed enough in the process to explain this in any higher detail though.
9:39 Once you finish the DYING!
Doctor, the patient has completed the process of dying.
Not THAT sort of dying but pun is approved
11:42
"It should not be punctured"
It also shouldn't be metal either.
Here's a microwave safety fact/tip.
The high-voltage capacitors in microwaves hold on to enough energy to kill you hours after you've unplugged your microwave.
Delaminated mica can look metallic
19:46 The way clearing barrels are used are to check the gun to see if it its loaded or not (If it is then you would eject the round out of the gun). These are meant to stop a bullet in case of a Negligent discharge, so for someone to get an article 15, is a bit excessive.
Ah, I was curious about this.
By the sound of it, the Idiot that got the Article 15 deliberately fired a blank round into it causing a VERY loud BANG to startle the Shit out of everyone within 5 blocks or so...
That's not an excessive reason for an Article 15...
ND is a negligent discharge, it's when you fail to follow protocol and discharge your weapon due to it. AD would be an accidental discharge which is when the discharge is due to mechanical failure despite you taking proper precautions.
Please do more of this sub! It's def my favorite one. It's all so interesting!
05:45 Don't remember which animals bone it was made out of, but it's part of a bone necklace many indigenous people around the world have weared at one point in their history, some still wear them.
9:28 I got two scars from those things. They are extremely hot and easy to make contact with your hand
I don't use Reddit and haven't for awhile so Emkay is my source of Reddit posts. The new videos for this subreddit are almost enough to make me go back to reading Reddit. Also I like all the Emkay narrators, but Lexi has been my favorite since the second or third video I watched her narrate and I found out she was a fan of Ashens. Today I watched a Robin narrated video and found out he watches Ashens too. Lexi is still my favorite, but now I know at least two out of three of them have good taste in entertainment.
17:35 The way the phone is sitting is Unsettling because that phone is much larger than the phones were when this was originally designed...
This would be for the old, thin Nokia style phones...
I love this kind of video and it's only made better by listening to Lexi puzzle over the items with as much genuine curiosity and interest as I feel myself. Her videos are always among my favourite ones
Hi Lexi if you're reading this, versed in firearms and whatnot due to growing up target shooting and hunting.
"ND" stands for "Negligent Discharge".
Which actually is different from an AD or Accidental Discharge, as an ND is categorized as being due to negligence of the operator, EG not making sure the firearm is clear when dry firing ox mixing live ammo with snapcaps. Comparatively, an AD is due to a mechanical failure of the firearm (EG how Sig P320's are in the news again after that one video of the police officer's duty firearm went off while in the holster hit the net), however AD's can be ND's if the mechanical failure is due to negligence on the part of the owner and there's a whole field of case law in determining that distinction.
Favorite emkay video ever. Lexi is so cool and this is a fantastic subreddit
She fits perfectly for this video
ND means negligent discharge. That's basically any unintentional shooting of a gun.
I like this subreddit. It's pretty wholesome and educational!
11:36 REPLACE that microwave. Uncontained microwaves could cause a fire if directed at wiring inside the machine. It's not worth burning your home down.
I've had thoracic surgery. Collapsed a lung vaping, and had to have an emergency tube inserted into my lungs. Meaning I had a local anesthetic and started Iv pain meds but before they could kick in they cut between my ribs and used one of those. Most painful thing in my life.
yikes, hope you’re doing well these days
@catdownthestreet yeah I'm doing fair these days. Ty. It was around 2018. Was in for over a month with the tube ended up having a piece removed and the outer lining sealed to my inner lung on that side. Months of recovery and then months of light duty.
Sadly I started smoking cigarettes again but I have x-rays all the time and it looks OK. The real bummer is it triggered my ms to really start manifesting. Didn't realize that till about 2021 and went and got diagnosed. After that was able to start seeing the tell tale signs I showed before the whole lung thing.
and thus we have learned that lexi does not like medical stuff especially the older medical stuff
Lexi is the best narrator ngl everytime i see that lexi narrated an emkay video, it makes me happy
9:50 Batik, not Batique... It spelled like "Batique" tho...
The tool is called a "Canting" (Spelled like Chanting but with an Ah sound instead of a Æh sound).
Batik is a Traditional Fabric Art from Indonesia, specifically it was the cultural heritage of the the Sundanese, Balinese and Javanese Ethnic Groups... Now almost all Ethnicities and Tribes in Indonesia have incorporated their own ways and patterns of Batik. Batik is also a UNESCO protected Heritage
There are also very cool "US Emblem Eagle" ones that was famously worn by President Ronald Reagan when he visited Indonesia... I've seen some people from US Embassy to Indonesia wore that pattern
23:07 "...it's supposed to let you know if a storm is coming... like, if you get a low pressure, that's usually a sign that a front could be coming through and usually you get bad storms around that"
this thing ain't that special, I have a built-in headache that triggers just before bad storms due to low pressure too!
19:29 This user is referenceing how the US army handled gun clearing procedures. If you negligently discharged (ND) a round into a clearing barrel there was heavy consequences for you and everyone in your unit.
Hundreds of people all going though a gun clearing and disassembly course because one guy screwed up. Welcome to The Army.
I am starting to wonder if the readers on Emkay are just 1 person whith multiple personalities.
Reader = Narrator
Why did it need a police escort, how often do people steal 20,000 pound jet engines?? Whos building a homemade space shuttle in their back yard😭
I would guess the police escort is not so much to prevent theft as it is to make way for the oversized and probably slow transport, and to make sure people don't crash into it.
4:12 probably for the clearance section, most stores mark those in yellow
20:20
ND probably stands for "negligent discharge", and I believe they're saying that if you mess up clearing the weapon such that the station actually has to do its job (catching the bullet), you are severely punished. Article 15 is a provision for allowing a commanding officer to determine the guilt of a subordinate and select punishment on their own rather than initiating a court marshal. I usually see article 15 being described as for "minor violations", but I would not use that phrase to describe negligent discharge of a firearm.
0:09 I immediately thought of the vehicle the Gru drives in the despicable me franchise lol
I just found out about the WITT community, and I’m HOOKED. Another awesome discovery that resulted from me discovering WITT is this gem of a channel. I can’t wait to binge on all the videos! I share the same nerdy fascination with Lexi, and I’m glad I found her channel!
I love this subreddit, I am definitely a nerd 😂
The rule about any gun being potentially loaded is a good one. In the army we had a simple solution for this so we didn't have to keep clearing our weapons once inside a secure location. We had these things we called "flags", orange florescent/translucent plastic rods in the shape of an L that you would insert into the breach with the long end inserted into the barrel. The bolt was then released so it rested on the on back of the flag holding it in place. Because it was clear florescent orange it stuck out like a sore thumb and caught the light. Doubled to ensure the barrel was clear since you could shine a light down the barrel and the flag acted as a light guide and would glow with the light coming down the barrel. With these in you didn't have to constantly have your weapons checked in a clearing barrel. I've seen them in white plastic as well, pretty sure there are other versions as well under other names. Ive also seen them for pistols.
Lexi always makes my day better 💕
Was a bit down today, Lexi’s voice is the best
The meatl thing in woods makes me thing a big old school hot water tank/heater, possibly for apartment use, probably 2-4 for use in small studio- 1 to 2 bedroom units.
I immediately identified the solid perfume! They sell it around here and my dad bought it once, it smells awesome but I never knew how to use it, glad to know now.
I love how excited Lexi is when she gets something right its so wholewsome
0:00 yo no way that’s a camera lens. Someone is getting their Amazon package soon
Just going to share this again, since no one seemed to notice it on the last video. It's unrelated to both videos, but it is related to this channel, and I don't know where to post it.
Does anyone here remember when this channel had videos of NoahGetTheBoat, therewasanattempt, and KidsAreStupid? They'd been uploaded in 2019 and they were narrated by Damien (maybe Zach narrated a few as well), but they've been gone for a couple of years - since 2020, I believe. Would anyone happen to know why they were deleted? And I guess if someone at EmKay sees this, would it be possible to bring them back?
Lexi does "there was an attempt"
Mayhaps you watched EzPz? They are run by the same people
@@MaliceIncar-Hated I know EzPz covered therewasanattempt at some point, but they didn't cover the other two. Plus, I vividly remember EmKay having videos of therewasanattempt and KidsAreStupid, and in addition, there's a wholesomememes video where Damien mentions how it was nice to cover that subreddit after covering NoahGetTheBoat.
@@Justuravfrogmom I don't see any videos of Lexi covering that one.
Lexi is love, Lexi is life.
17:30 Lexi, you're thinking of the Notorious Nokia Flip Phone.
And "The way it sits in that holder is rather unsettling."
It looks like someone sitting on the "Throne."
My town has an evening newspaper. It's always been full of spelling and syntax errors. Many years ago, my brother and I were certain that they did not employ proofreaders, especially for the Classified Ads, where stuff put in by the illiterate, and often terminally confused, provided hilarious, and often baffling entertainment. My brother tested their quality control by submitting the following:
'FOR SALE. Teasmade. 30' long; Steel steps. £5'
It appeared in print, unaltered.
Luckily, nobody required a thirty foot long teasmade with steel steps. 😆😆😆
Ay guys, collective, can people recommend bureau setups? You lot seem knowledgeable on antiques and historical culture. I have an antique dated between 30s and 50s, gorgeous mahogany that I've recently been using for writing. It has three partitions slightly smaller than A5 paper, 2 small drawers, and 4 shelves (drawer is inder shelves) on the inside. Outside it has 3 large drawers. Current setup is storing envelopes in one partition, leather journal in another, and wax paper in the third. It is too small to hold my quill, so the quill is lying sideways which I know isn't ideal. Drawers are used for nibs and keys, shelves are used for was beads, candles, seal heads, etc. Big drawers mostly have paper, spare pens, etc. It isn't particularly comfortable, just the best I could come up with, hence me thinking it is a wrong setup
26:17 that dutch pronunciation was almost perfect i have to say
19:39 So the device is designed to prevent negligent discharge, but if you use it for its intended purpose you get article 15?
I think my brain is about to expand because of this subreddit
20:10 ND stands for Negligent Discharge. Basically, when you forget gun safety and do stupid shit with a gun, a fuckup occurs and it fires. Negligent Discharge.
ND = "Negligent Discharge." A form of accidental discharge where the handler is explicitly to blame, especially in a legal capacity.
2:11 It looks like it could be an old heavy duty post driver.
I love how Lexi is genuinely interested in these things lol
