Yeah, that was weird, but certainly well done. I wasn't expecting it.

It starts out as four kids breaking into a pool to swim/make out, with quite a shocking twist half way through. It's also pretty graphic. If you want the whole thing, I've spoilered it in case anyone wants a surprise:
So, they all break in. One couple jumps in and starts making out. The other girl jumps in to avoid a kiss from the other guy. In the water, she sees something wriggling under her clothes and she swims out in a panic. She sees the other couple standing out of the pool looking like zombies with a giant "worm" connecting them. These worm-things are basically wearing the people like skins now at this point. The "zombie" girl attacks the other guy, killing him. The surviving girl jumps into the pool to escape and sees her reflection in the bottom of the pool. She realizes that it's the surface of the water on the bottom of the pool leading somewhere else. She climbs out into a crazy alien world and passes out/dies after going insane.

He jumps like a damned dragoon, and charges into battle fighting rather insane monsters with little more than his bare hands and rather nasty spell effects conjured up solely through knowledge and the local plantlife. He unerringly knows where his goal lies, he breathes underwater and is untroubled by space travel, seems to have no limits to his actual endurance and favors killing his enemies by driving both boots square into their skull. His agility is unmatched, and his strength legendary, able to fling about a turtle shell big enough to contain a man with enough force to barrel down a near endless path of unfortunates.

I'm thinking more it's an advertisement for abstinence-only sex education.
It's an extremely compelling one. It'd work on me.
Hell, if I didn't know better, watching that video would have me get potential partners exorcised before the first date and ONLY screw after a marriage ceremony-with-blessing-and-exorcism conducted by the Pope and the Dalai Lama.

The thread title describes my entire life. I know more about my own mental and physical limits than any person ought to. If only I can find the way to convert mental and phsyical toughness into some way of making money without being a circus geek...
In this moment, I am Ur-phoric. Not because of any phony god’s blessing. But because, I am enlightened by my int score.
I am totally at a loss as to how the use of crushed beetles to make red or brown coloring in food represents the food industry being "distorted" or "unsustainable". Cochineal has been used in foods and dies for hundreds of years. It predates our country's food industry and indeed predates our country as a whole.
None of the examples the guy gave of how our food system is supposedly bad actually show or even imply that there is anything wrong with our food system. He pointed at some naturally occurring products that are totally safe and reasonably nutritious and flipped out because... I actually have no idea why.
Frank: It's just a strange thing for an ex-vegetarian like me to see. Of course, my view on it is totally distorted by the fact that I come from a country that has a huge population of vegetarians and people who go far as not eating root vegetables or mushrooms or anything that might grow underground or smells bad.

Nope. Saw this a while ago on a friend's wtf page. Was not traumatized. I was just left with a lot of questions that will never have answers
Oh, I got it, I just got mood whiplash because I was not expecting a freaking Lovecraftian animated music video.

Three words: anal beaver glands.
I think that's beaver anal glands. As in, a beaver's anal glands, not an anus's beaver glands.

I fail to believe synthetic processes are unable to give everything one needs. I fail to believe that Beavers are harvested for their anal glands for mass produced food products. An artisanal perfume, yes. 1Million pounds of food a year? No fucking way.
Its a hella easier to just grow raspberries and vanilla...
The U.S. food industry burns through three hundred pounds of beaver anal glands a year. That is a pretty damn small quantity, but it's going into something. They aren't handing them out to the workers to use as pieces for checker games in the breakroom.
I mean, their argument is essentially "beaver anal glands are gross therefore the food industry is fucked up," which makes absolutely no goddamn sense. For fuck's sake, in French cuisine, the pancreas is a delicacy. Even disregarding the fact that we eat gross shit all the time, there's nothing profoundly different between a ribeye and beaver anal glands- they both come from dead animals, and they're both used in cooking. There's nothing normative about an "ick" reaction; they're just holdovers from the bad old days when we were cavemen and food sanitation was limited to wiping the dirt off your meat before you roast it over an open fire. Shit, given climate change and the skyrocketing population, everyone's gonna have to get used to eating insects and soy ninety-nine times out of a hundred.

Also, not the glands of the dread Anal Beaver.

Or GMO crops... which is what infuriates me about anti-gmo hippies... that and the fact that they are by definition anti-progress and anti-science.
...ok, and knowing me, possibly subconsciously because they're also basically against me ever getting gene spliced... It's not reasonable, it's subconscious, and admittedly kind of stupid. I'm just still hoping for a procedure that can make me a genetic hermaph, rather than a surgically sculpted one.

There are people that are fine with the concept of GM foods that think Monsanto is using the technology irresponsively. Like everything else, the stupid people scream the loudest.

Well... I don't mind so much when they try to copyright "Genetically modified apple strain X," as flower varietal companies have done that for decades. What bothers me is when they try to copyright "corn." As in, all forms of it.
