I never thought I'd say this, but... I miss the certified vibesmith.
#5 And I've heard somewhere we can even outrun a horse over distance. Not me, mind you, but we.
#5 - A pretty long time ago there was a series titled Animal Olympics or similar. The show postulated which species would win which Olympic events. Humans didn't fair too well except for one event. Of all animals, we would be the victors in the Marathon. Nice to watch the science behind that old show's prediction.
#2 I've never watched any Kardashian in anything for more than half a minute. I don't know their names or how to tell them apart. But I got the bit that girl was doing. It was hilarious. She's good.
#3 Apparently I watched the Apparently kid and not the tribute guy who seemed to add nothing. The kid owns it when he's on TV. Is this how Conan got his start?
#4 Was there a prequel to this video? I feel I'm missing context.
ha ha ha ha ha ha
Ye's playing that shit over and over
"Her ass broke the internet and Tik Tok fixed it."
I noticed he didn't act out that "eats his buggers" lyric.
Smart!
The internet's a dangerous place.
Somebody has been paying attention.
#5 I'm going to market a set of core-tightening exercises for quadrupeds so their internal organs don't slosh back and forth when they run. I'll be rich, rich. How much can quadrupeds afford to pay? They'll thank me for the privilege when they stop all that sloshing -- feel better, run better. Quadrupeds! hah.
5 is fascinating and a great "the medium is the message" presentation.
4 slayed me. I am now dead.
I've read that the domestication of wolves came about because humans and wolves were both cursorial hunters (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cursorial) often hunting the same prey. Humans were better at it, had weapons, and wolves became accustomed to scavenging what our ancestors left behind. Over time a relationship formed.
This in no way excuses the existence of Shih Tzus.

The running video was good. The other videos burned images into my brain that I would rather not have. I kept looking for a mountain lion to come out of nowhere and drag the runner off.
"#2 I've never watched any Kardashian in anything for more than half a minute. I don't know their names or how to tell them apart. But I got the bit that girl was doing. It was hilarious. She's good."
I've never watched the Kardashians either, but I've completely learned about their show from watching this woman, Yuri Lamasbella, do impressions of them.
I highly recommend the entire series — watch here. But don't watch them all at once or you'll lose your mind.
Many people have been watching the Kardashians for 20 years, so it's worth knowing what they hell they've been doing, and I think the best way to understand is to watch the brilliant and fascinating Yuri Lamasbella.
"#3 Apparently I watched the Apparently kid and not the tribute guy who seemed to add nothing. The kid owns it when he's on TV. Is this how Conan got his start?"
The clip of the kid has been popular on the internet since 2014. It's something most people scrolling on TikTok would know very well. Here's a Know Your Meme article to fill in the story, but it's just a clip that was made for local news that people found cute and funny and memorable, mostly because he said "apparently" so many times.
Anyway, the clip I put on this list is a person who has learned the script well enough to speak it in unison with the old clip. The makeup and body painting are done to look like the kid. It's visually interesting and an accurate, sincere tribute. The caption says "Just a biological male child #apparentlykid #drag" so I take that to mean that the videographer is not a biological male or a biological child but is into the art of looking like one. The look really is very interesting.
There are many TikTok videos where someone speaks along with a famous clip that is showing on a computer screen in front of them. I haven't linked to many (or, maybe, any) but I like them because the original clip is always interesting and it's interesting to see something copied precisely, as proved by playing the original and not lip-synching, but speaking out loud. The old viral clip becomes something of a ritualistic incantation.
"I never thought I'd say this, but... I miss the certified vibesmith."
The certified vibesmith, Ricky Gourmet has been saying he's tired.
I loved the "Apparently" kid the first time I saw him some years ago....and that was before Tiktok came into prominence. His repetition of the word 'apparently" was truly authentic and adorable. Reminds me the "corn" kid and how his viral moment took off. #5 was very educational. I learned things I never bothered to think about.
#1 made me uncomfortable. I tell Alexa "please" and "thank you". While Amazon might be a whore, Alexa has been nothing but helpful to me and I'm not going to call her names.
#5 - The guy's aerobic fitness is impressive, the general points about the rarity and evolutionary importance of human distance running are correct, but nearly everything the guy said was either confidently presented half-truth or total BS. He'll have a great future selling nutritional supplements.
