This is a video from Bacău, Romania of an amateur model and even more amateur bear whisperer almost getting attacked by a wild bear while trying to pose with it by the roadside. The bear makes a lunge at her, sending her running into the street, but, thankfully, not oncoming traffic. What’s she modeling anyways — 80’s aerobics wear? Because admittedly, I can get behind that. I can also *pulls spandex off butt and lets snap back* get into it. FEEL THE BURN, JUST FIVE REPS LEFT SQUEEZE HARD AND LET’S COUNT THEM OUT.

This is a humorously animated video of Liam’s girlfriend Jessie retelling the story of The Empire Strikes Back after having only seen it once months ago. It’s cute. I also included her doing the same thing for A New Hope because the video exists and it only took me like another fifteen minutes to get the embed code right. I’m practically a computer scientist. And probably *swinging USB stick on lanyard* the coolest one who ever lived. *lanyard slips off finger, USB stick flies out window* Oh lordy, those were my nudes.

This is a video of The Rig (aka ‘Not-A-Wheelchair’), an electric mobility device built by satin-voiced Youtuber JerryRigEverything for his girlfriend Cambry, which was designed to travel places traditional electric wheelchairs can’t. Some more info and specs while I add one to my Christmas list, like Christmas is even coming this year. Or Halloween:

The Rig is constructed with an aluminum frame, detachable bumper, and four inch off road bike tires. We designed this ‘off road wheelchair’ to be as easy to maintain and repair as possible. It’s made mostly with bicycle parts!

Range of 10-20 miles with one battery, and 25-35 miles with two batteries (depending on terrain, weight of the rider, and weight of the cargo) .

Both steering handles can fold back for easy side entry.

Note: This is not a medical device. Recommended weight capacity less than 225 lbs.

The Rig starts at $4,750 for the single battery version, and $5,450 for the dual battery model. You also get to pick your frame color from seven different options, unfortunately none of which are camo. I love camo, I feel like it makes me invisible! “You know it doesn’t though, right?” What?! *startled, pulling arm out of vending machine* I mean of course. I’m not stupid. Seriously though how many fingers am I holding up?

Thanks to Christina D, who agrees everyone deserves to enjoy nature, from right in the middle of it.

This is a video from outside a farm in Campo Grande, Mato Grosso do Sul, Brazil, of a massive anaconda lunging at a passing truck. Honestly, if I were that anaconda I would be less concerned with attacking passing vehicles and more concerned with that getting that lump on my back looked at. That does not seem like it should be there. Still, I don’t think this was a case of the snake’s eyes being bigger than its stomach, but rather the snake– “Giving a warning.” Okay I was going to say wanting a kiss, but what do I know? You’re probably the one with the subscription to Reptiles magazine since 5th grade.

This is a video of thrillseeker and paraglider instructor Hasan Kaval taking to the wild blue yonder on the custom sofa and television paragliding rig he built. I dare say the thrills Hasan was seeking were successfully located. Still, can you believe he forgot– “A safety harness?!” What? No — a Playstation. The answer was ‘a Playstation’. God, I bet he was bored to death up there.

This is a short video animation of the top ten most disliked Youtube videos from 2016 – 2020. And let me tell you: just like the elephant exhibit at the zoo, there are some real turds in there. Of course this is just a count of TOTAL number of dislikes, without consideration of how many more views a video may have, or the ratio of views to dislikes. Like most of the information on the internet, it’s basically worthless and I feel dummer for knowing it. “Dumber?” See!
