This a clip of 14-year old Dev Shah clenching victory in the 2023 Scripps National Spelling Bee by correctly spelling ‘psammophile’ (pronounced sam-a-file, a plant or animal that prefers or thrives in sandy areas). He knew from the very start that he had it. Way to go, Dev. For reference,

These are two videos of British actress and accent vocal coach Sarah Valentine performing the same lines (“You’re grounded,” and “You can’t park there”) in 20 different accents, with what I assume are the appropriate accompanying faces.

Oh you thought it was just Picard? Some fan you are. The Enterprise crew has been engaging since the original series! Probably in freaky deaky alien

This is a video of musician Joel James singing Rick Astley’s ‘Never Gonna Give You Up’ entirely backwards, then playing it forwards to see how close he was. The result? Amazingly close. Better than I can even sing the song forwards, especially at karaoke night when everyone realizes the song
