Once upon a time, men used to wear high heels. Well, men are wearing high heels now, too, but that’s a different story. The time we’re talking about was when high heels were first invented. In fact, they were meant for men and they were meant for more than just men, they were meant for the manliness men. This video talks about the time when warriors and kings wore heels, and then how the fashions changed.

A video recently went viral in which an F-18 Hornet says hi to a pilot. The video shows the F-18 zip into the frame, tip its wings to the pilot, and then zoom off at a breakneck speed before rocketing up into the sky. Most people seeing it know it’s totally fake, but they can’t articulate why. Captain Disillusion does more than just tell you how it’s faked in this video, he teaches you the tools you need to determine a fake.

There are a bunch of fan theories about Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory, but most of them are poorly argued and not that interesting. This one, however, stands out from the crowd. The video argues that Willy Wonka invited children in to his chocolate factory who represent some of the major sins, e.g. greed, ire, and gluttony. His chocolate factory is designed to expose their sins and teach them lessons. If you don’t think it’s a convincing argument, leave a comment and explain why.

They say that money doesn’t go on trees, but for this sweet stray pup living on a university campus in Columbia money really does grow on trees. She quickly figured out where the campus coffee shop was and, after some careful observation, she realized that people exchanged little flat pieces of paper for food. So this brilliant dog grabbed a leaf and marched over to the coffeeshop to buy herself a treat. Naturally, the cashiers honored the dog’s currency, and she comes back about twice a day for treats and pets.

Gambling is usually a losing proposition. Often, even if you win, you kind of lose since you’re suckered into gambling again because of the high. But one Austin, Texas woman just made the bet of a lifetime. She managed to pick not only the winner of the Kentucky Derby (which was already a long shot), but she also managed to pick the winners of the four races leading up to that. Her eighteen bucks sure went a long way.

Your skin in the largest organ in your body. If you stretch it out, it covers some twenty square feet. Unlike your other organs, however, it’s totally unprotected and exposed to the outside at all times. Itching is one of the mechanisms that evolved to protect your skin. Itches alert you to various things that could be going wrong on your skin and triggers you to act. Scratching overrides the itch signal––as does any other kind of pain, such as pinching or slapping. 

There was a ton of excitement leading up the new millennium, lots of people planned to (dare we say it) party like it’s 1999. But there was a darker side to the millennium, aside from the parties and the fun and the excitement. This was the Y2K scare, the fear that computers all over the world would go haywire causing planes to fall out of the sky, nuclear weapons to spontaneously launch, electricity grids to go out, and all sorts of chaos. This video brings you back to that time.

When you shell out twenty-five bucks for a checked bag, you probably get unreasonably angry. But this LA Times article suggests that your anger may not be that unreasonable. Airlines initiated baggage fees when gas prices were low, but it turns out to be a major money-maker for the industry––unsurprisingly. From the article, “The country’s airlines collected $4.6 billion from baggage fees and $2.9 billion from reservation change fees, which represent the only two ancillary passenger fees the airlines are required to report to the Bureau of Transportation Statistics.” Airlines don’t have to report other fees, however.

You might not want to watch this video in front of kids, because in it you are going to witness a murder. Not a real murder, of course, this isn’t a snuff film. But John Oliver’s verbal takedown of Rudy Giuliani in this video is so bad that you might think you’ve just seen a hit job. Basically, Oliver points out that Giuliani’s latest hijinks with the Trump administration are nothing new, and that his pre-9/11 reputation was terrible. Oh and he married his cousin and then split up with her via press conference.

If you think of Mark Zuckerberg as some kind of cartoonish super villain, you’re not alone. Many people––especially denizens of the internet––don’t have a very high opinion of Mr. Zuckerberg. It may not be that Zuckerberg is actually a bad guy, it’s just that he is exceptionally awkward. This video analyzes the different behaviors that turn us off and shows us ways to avoid them ourselves. For example, you’ll notice the Zuckerberg rarely shows his palms when he gesticulates, meaning he seems closed off an untrustworthy. 

Two semi trucks pulled into a truck stop in Tennessee. The first driver, unsuspecting, went into the stop. The second driver exited his semi truck and stole the first man’s truck, driving it away. The truck was later recovered, because that wasn’t the man’s target. He was far more interested in the nearly one million dollars worth of cancer drugs bound for Dothan, Alabama. Unfortunately, there are, as of yet, no leads on the missing drugs. 

Food is one of the most human activities there is. According to some scholars, even, food is the human activity––it is perhaps what separated us from the animals in the first place. This video analyzes the different human experiences that food can represent: transforming nature into raw power, symbolizing the hyper-civilized, and so on. Take, for example, the villain in Inglourious Basterds. He’s heartless, cold, calculating, and evil. But he covers that with a veneer of civilization, represented by the the strudel he eats.
