54:57 As much as people joke that Sips is a boomer, he always comes back to these extremely gen X attitudes. Lewis, we definitely know whether parasocial relationships are better than Prozac. They aren't. This isn't a new question for psychological researchers. Obviously the internet has created some novel situations, and the psychological and medical knowledge base isn't where we'd like it to be yet, but this kind of thing isn't a new frontier.
When Pyrion was originally shitting on Anime and hoping for his kids to not get into it I was WAITING for this day, and it has come!!! xDDD Suffer, you egg !!! x)
I dont think his opinion will change much with literal children being into it. Children being the target audience probably vibes well with what he thinks of anime already.
12:00 Teomers are a thing amd may be connected to age but it is not that simple. Age is definitely far more complicated than telomers. It´s already been quite disproven that telomers are directly responsible for age. You can shorten an animals telomers and they won´t suddenly age faster or anything like that. The purpose of them is to protect the "real" DNA from damage since there is a type of damage that basically happens to the ends of the DNA constantly so this is a sort of buffer. That said they are linked to aging. We just aren´t quite saure if they are caused by aging or age related diseases and such are caused by them. And they are certainly not the whole story. We actually have found ways to extend telomers and this certainly does not stop aging (though there is some evidence that it may slow it). As to stem cell research these concerns are actually quite outdated. We don´t really use embryos anymore as about a decade ago a way was discovered to make artificial stem cells (iPSCs) from skin cells and such. Of course that doesn´t stop fundamentalists from being against it.
One year my cousin and I were dismantling a bunch of those little pop-snap things and we grabbed a large portion of tin-foil and dumped all the pop-snaps into the tinfoil to make one giant pop-snap. As my cousin was closing it up and twisting the end to make sure nothing could fall out it went off in his hands and he stood there in shock as all our hard work went to waste. His hands were covered in a bit of soot and they hurt a little, but otherwise he was fine. we dumped like 5 boxes worth of snap-pops into it. The bang was huge. Good times.
If you're really interested in faction leaders sneaking into power, look into Stalin. He essentially became leader of the soviet union entirely through an administrative role by placing those loyal to him in subordinate positions that covered every facet of running a nation. That way, once their faction usurped power, everyone who he placed got a big promotion, so obviously they'd help and side with him. A bit of an oversimplification, but it's really interesting how he didn't really utilize any "exciting" means.
I wish i could come up with something witty/insightful to comment on, but it's too early. Maybe something like "I love Wednesday afternoons, Triforce always helps me through the second half of the week, it's like the week-end comes early" There's your engagement, you beautiful boys!
Love it or hate it, Something Awful has been hugely influential in shaping the modern internet. The "Lowtax bans hentai >>>>> US Capitol attacks" meme is an exaggeration but it illustrates the point quite well.
The funny thing is we have found a fair few medications that reverse or delay aging in animal models, but as soon as we introduce humans into the mix they don't work at all. god darn humans being all complicated and shit. Also if you want mental exercise that's still fun I highly recommend puzzle games, I love them almost too much so I have to pace myself to not get the tetris effect. Edit: not to imply reading can't be fun but adhd be a bitch
Today I fucked up... I've been very lonely lately, both physically and emotionally. I have plenty of physical options but I'm at a point where not having an emotional connection leaves me feeling kind of hollow and generally dissapointed. So I found these guys on UA-cam and they make relatively risque videos. After 30 to 40 videos I went to their channel page, which led me to their podcast channel. They make videos very much geared towards everyone, and I scrubbed through several of their videos until I found one. The part of the title that jumped out to me was "Triforce! #199.1 - Pyrionopodopolous, revolutionary leader" and I'm thinking to myself, this is the ONE! Emotional AND physical satisfaction. Everything was going great until the very end @1:07:40 when he says "Thank you for listening to the podcast. We'll see you next week. Love ya. Goodbye!" and I started ugly crying. I was NOT expecting him to take it THAT far in the video. To be honest, I'm still kind of sad about it, but now that I've written it out, it seems a bit funny.
SA has always been in the basement of internet history, and i only ever heard bad things about lowtax over the years. i stuck to the NG BBS though, as goons always seemed a bit too up their own ass for me. every goon i ran into was always falling over themselves to brag about how old their account was or that they were an OG lol. SA was a giant turd from which nice mushroom grew, like Ye Olde Goon Squad
Jesus christ Pyrion, being honest with your feelings is the first step. I think it is great that they were on the right path now. Its very trusting to open up like that, and I think even you Pyrion can relate to "lonely and sad" as stoic as you may try to be. I don't like to think our darker moments necessarily define us, they should be lessons in self honesty.
Man, Flax is right, Tempest was a fuckin blast. Spent a good few hard earned quarters in that machine. (here's a bit of game play i found : ua-cam.com/video/AMto2HJJSSA/v-deo.html)
To be fair to him, botched surgeries genuinely are fucking ghoulish and people who overdo it genuinely look scary because they start falling into the uncanny valley while still being humans. This goes for both males and females, too. lol
If you are in an emotionally vulnerable place like that, I can see a phrase like "and that's why I love you" triggering that reaction almost regardless of context. I think the whole thing about it being in a porn video actually makes it even more likely, just think about your mindset when you are going into watching porn and when you are coming (heh) out of it. It's relaxed, it's private, and in your own mind you are putting yourself in a role in that scene. I agree that it is probably unhealthy which is why it does fit in the TIFU category; they realize they've come to rely on something as impersonal and fake as pornography to try to fill a need that they are lacking. That being said I've given up on TIFU and reddit in general because everything you read is one extreme or another, often totally made up or clearly embellished for attention. That's probably the biggest failing of the modern internet, that it is used to stand in for roles that historically have been filled by humans irl. It's almost impossible to make a real connection with people in the context of popular internet media, and even when you do it is hard to know their intentions. You even get people you know or used to be familiar with sending you messages as if they really want to connect when in reality they want to get you into their MLM. I was raised in a household where computer use, and as an extension internet use, was always highly encouraged and have been recently grappling with the question as to how a child should be exposed to what is out there. It's hard because I never had any filters and was able to browse anything, and believe me I did. That being said, no matter how much death, porn, and other "Adult themed" content I viewed I think I turned out OK (maybe a bit cynical). I definitely also watched a lot of similar content to some of the braindead things you see today, whether it be corporate written cartoons or "Influencers" that are actually doing really harmful pranks and just trying to make a buck off children. The trends are different but overall I'd actually say the internet today is way LESS of a wild west than it was say 15 years ago. I can't even name how many websites there used to be based entirely off of watching people die on video, non-consensual themed porn, scams, malware etc, all of which have been either shut down because of media attention, forced to shut down by content hosting companies, their banks, etc or unindexed by the likes of Google. All this is to say that I don't really think you can reliably limit a childs exposure to these things if they are seeking them out. I think there are reasonable restrictions that could be put on a child's smart device, but once they figure out how to get around a prohibition the jig is up. What's probably more important is what you intentionally expose a child to in order to prepare them for dealing with these things on their own, like talking about consent, sharing feelings and being honest when they ask uncomfortable questions. i dunno im dumb
My grandfather was in the American navy during Vietnam. He used to tell this story about giving the south Vietnamese boats and two days later turning around and having to get the boats from the north Vietnamese because the south immediately surrendered when under fire because they're just rice Paddy farmers and it was a stupid idea
Pyrion is such a negative skinhead most of the time. He always talks over people and thinks he knows everything. I think they should find a replacement.
>Lawrence of Arabia
"Where was it, Iran, Iraq?"
"Maybe Turkey?"
LOL.
truly the finest minds
THE DECIMALS HAVE BEGAN!! ROAD TO 200 baby let’s go
Love it
I wonder what they have planned for #200, maybe Jingle Jam with a guest? I'd love more ham talk from Pyrion
A part of me respects the traditional trio formula, but another part of me wants a guest like Duncan again or Tom or Ravs or Ben
@@AquaAtia Ben would be good, the 3 dad's vs lewis
Think Turps still wants to be on the show? ;)
im 20, the internet videos i was watching when i was a little kid was the yogscast.
The decimal ones are the best.
I honestly forgot about the first ten decimal episodes but when I scrolled back down to see the synopsis of them, they were some of the best
You're not wrong there boyo
20:40 Lewis: "I don't know where Lawrence of Arabia was doing his stuff..."
Me: "Arabia, perhaps?"
lewis saying 'love ya' at the end made me ugly cry smh why am i like this
🤣🤣🤣
54:57 As much as people joke that Sips is a boomer, he always comes back to these extremely gen X attitudes.

#conflicted, I agree with Pyrion, but I can't help giggling.
kinda weird
@@hellomynameisjim Kinda sus indeed
It made my day when he said that 😂
I dont think his opinion will change much with literal children being into it. Children being the target audience probably vibes well with what he thinks of anime already.
They did it. The mad lads did it again
Ah shit, here we go again with the decimals. Another 20 episodes until episode 200 then
When pryion said his kids are in to anime, I was cheering 😂
man its so funny when sips and pyrion talk about anime,
Decimal part 2: here we go lads
The mention of Pepper Pig now has me really wanting to see a series of Two Dads (Sips and Pyrion) play My Friend Peppa Pig
It makes me so happy whenever I hear a german word during english videos/podcasts. Today: "schleppen"
i wasn't expecting lewis to say "love ya" at the end of the video and now i'm ugly crying
100% with P, that Reddit part at the end geez
I love it when they talk about Wes Anderson

I think Lewis is responsible for more internet or youtube rumours than anyone else EVER!!!!
Pyrion knows a lot about history I didn't expect a non-Greek to know what was going on here during that time
One year my cousin and I were dismantling a bunch of those little pop-snap things and we grabbed a large portion of tin-foil and dumped all the pop-snaps into the tinfoil to make one giant pop-snap.

The Last Air Bender technically isn’t an anime but it’s still a great show
feels bad pyrion wont give it a chance. genuinely the best kids show imo. masterpiece.
@@alexlawson4173 Straight facts bro
@@alexlawson4173 just finished it again for the n'th time
I don't understand how people mistake a Nickelodeon cartoon for an Anime.
Omg they did the thing. THEY DID THE THING!
On Pyrion asking what these revolutionaries did for a living, Pol Pot was a school teacher before his rise to power
Hit the holy refresh on the channel and caught the upload less than a minute after. Praise the lawd
at this rate we'll have 500 episodes by episode 400
I always assumed that Daf was Lewis's blood boy 🤔
"Nostalgia" is the feeling of wishing you were 20 years younger.
The South Vietnameese were actual pretty good fighters.
Over the years the true fans have stuck around and it shows
The Bartosh's return to give fireworks
laughing just at the fact the title is 199.1
Nimblebit are goons?? Tiny Tower creators?? Played that all the time as a kid WHILE getting into yogs. What a trip
8:09 ...I'm not sure you need to be told after hearing that but, he is
WOOOO THE DECIMALS ARE BACK
DIY ....SAS? 17:00
I can't wait until episode 200 in 4 months
I wish i could come up with something witty/insightful to comment on, but it's too early.
Maybe something like "I love Wednesday afternoons, Triforce always helps me through the second half of the week, it's like the week-end comes early"
There's your engagement, you beautiful boys!
Damn bro, the bald boomer really popped off in this one
I'm sure I've seen The French Dispatch before! Oh yeah, it was called The Grand Budapest Hotel.
Ah yes, tis the month of edging
Sips hates on Sodastream, and Pyrion argues for censorship
*Loud audible gasp!* Triforce doing 199.1 :o looks like we're in for a treat this jingle jam!

Who they talk about the first couple minutes can't understand the name properly
Pflax kids being into Anime probably is exactly what he'd expect, its not the own that weebs think it is lmao.
So it begins
SKIP TO 9:30
I can't take it before
Here we go again lol
199.1 AGAIN
I saw 199.1 and instantly thought 'OH HERE WE GO AGAIN' XD XD XD XD

Pyrion: Turkish men are quite hairy.

The grass is always greener, I guess
Didn't Sips get hair plugs at some point?
Typical Dad Flax, no one can enjoy anything unless its things that he likes
wooooooooooooo
“My kids are heavy into anime” Ive never felt such disgust from a youtube video.
Avatar last air bender isn't an anime btw, just saying.
Pyrion Flax! Im sorry but my best friend’s son loves Paw Patrol and i can see why: its awesome😂
My (artificial) tree's already up. Deal with it.
