Do you suffer from anxiety? Of course you do––because life is suffering, you’re unsure of its meaning, and you know that you’re going to die. If your anxiety sometimes get the best of you and you find yourself overthinking, overanalyzing every little thing, and otherwise being mentally on on edge, then watch these videos. Jordan Peterson explains the origins of anxiety and some practical ways of dealing with it. 

Katsuobushi is dried, fermented, and smoked skipjack tuna. Normally it’s shaved, but this guy is using the fish for a novel purpose. He cut a chunk of fish and the sharpened it like a knife. How hard is the world’s hardest food? Well, it can cut into a soda can, for one. How sharp can it get? It can cut paper!

Everyone knows the story of Noah and the Ark: a flood is coming, Noah builds an ark and manages to save himself and his family. Jordan Peterson analyzes that story form a Jungian psychological perspective in this video. He explains that we are all Noah, and that we’re all going to have to deal with a “flood” at some point, whether that’s the death of a loved one or an illness or something equally brutal. At that point, we have a choice: to build an ark or to drown. 

As Americans, it’s hard to imagine what we sound like to others because, obviously, we can’t really hear ourselves from a non-American perspective. So Condé Nast Traveler got seventy people from seventy different countries to imitate what Americans sound like to them. Sadly, they all seem like caricatures of Americans, and all some horrible variations of valley girls, surfer bros, and the Kardashian family. Every other word is “literally” and “like.” It’s very hard to hear what people think we sound like. 

The Wire was one of the most intense TV shows ever to air. You were probably too busy gripping the edge of your sofa to pay much attention to this, but there were a few different foods mentioned in the show. In this installment of Binging with Babish, Babish teaches you to make fried fish, pit beef, and of course…egg beer breakfast with a whiskey back. Babish recommends you don’t do the egg beer thing for breakfast. 

Eddie Chun has a phenomenal voice when he sings anything, but this video is especially interesting. He sets up a traveling stage and puts on a concert in the style of John Mayer. His voice is so dead on that it seems like he’s lip-syncing, but he’s not. If you close your eyes, it’s like you’re listening to Mayer’s original. Take a listen to Eddie Chun’s other videos to hear what he really sounds like.

There are two wildlife moments that should scare even the bravest personal alive: coming between a mama bear and her cubs and facing a charging bull elephant. But Alan McSmith is clearly without fear––watch as he demonstrates how to stop a charging bull elephant in its track. If you ever go on safari, though, don’t test this method out. Alan McSmith is experienced with elephants ,and he knows the risks he’s taking. 

The concept of this video might seem familiar. A man dies and finds himself in a white room. Another man is there and tells the dead guy that he’s in Purgatory, and that he has a minute to ask as many questions as he wants. He asks a bunch of questions and then there’s the moment when the dead guy learns an important lesson about his life. We won’t give it away, but make sure you watch until the end. 

If you try to watch most 3D videos without those special glasses, you’er going to wind up with either a headache or a full barf-bag. But the video below works both in 2D and 3D. Tom Scott explains how the Pulfrich Effect works in this video and also explains how other 3D videos work. The video is constantly rotating (because the Pulfrich Effect takes advantage of the lag between an image striking your eye and being processed by your brain), so if you get motion sick you may want to skip this one. 

This elderly gentleman has an interesting hobby. He uses his guitar and banjo skills to cover popular songs. He’s covered “I Got You Babe,” “Sounds of Silence,” “Jolene,” and more. Those are all pretty standard singer-songwriter style covers, so we’re not going to feature them. Instead, take a listen to his far more interesting cover: Snoop Dogg’s “Gin and Juice” played with a banjo. If you like it, check out the rest of his videos. 

Republicans just passed the most sweeping tax bill in decades. Ten years ago, this would have seemed extreme. But now it seems normal. Just like the way that some of the things that politicians say nowadays would have ruined their careers just two years ago, but now they’re old news. You’re not alone in thinking that things are getting more extreme––it turns out, they are, and there’s a name for that phenomenon. It’s called the Overton Window, and it basically describes the window of things that the public will accept as normal. That window can be changed by pushing the boundaries of acceptability one way or another. 

You don’t have to go to a restaurant to have great food, even if you’re the kind of person who can burn instant ramen. Just follow these simple tricks that chefs learn in cooking school and you’ll be fine. For example, if you want the juiciest meat, try making a brine. Or if you want the fluffiest mash potatoes, boil them first and then dry them out in a sauté pan before you mash and whip them.
