AWKWARD ZOMBIE

I'm going to have to buy some gummi bears.

I thought you were making a sound effect.

So suddenly every movie featuring hackers becomes prophetic instead of outrageously stupid.

That looks exactly like the UI they use in Ghost in the Shell

Is that a coincidence or is Ghost in the Shell's computer UI based on irl?

(Best example I could find)

The movie's almost 20 years old, I'm going to guess it's a coincidence. Unless whoever designed this had GitS in mind when they were working on it.

Daedalus? Going Deus Ex here.

He's from Greek mythology actually, the guy who made Icarus's wings.

Whoa it's like a trainwreck.

I know. I'm saying that in Deus Ex, Daedalus was the AI who could access computer networks. Ironically he was tricked and attacked by Icarus, forcibly merging with it to become Helios (I got a good laugh out of that one).

Incest is relative.

holy shit

Good video, I wonder what the world would be like if people realized how mind-blowingly ridiculous every aspect of existence is. Our minds probably have built-in protection to keep us from constantly getting staggered at the near-infinite amount of complexity around us, else no one would get anything done.

So the Higgs Boson was discovered

GO TEAM SCIENCE

Even when you look at it from either a biological, or anthropological viewpoint, incest is actually less harmful to public health than sticking your critch up to a running microwave. Incest is bad because your kid has an increased chance of inheriting some recessive disorder...that's it. When you look at it like that, having kids with ANYONE of the same race is on par with having kids with your sister. You can accuse any non mixed couple of incest and it would be backed by the entire field of genetics. It's one of humanity's biggest overreactions, next to cannibalism. Now don't get me wrong, those "increased chance"s stack up like unfinished term papers. Just look at the royal families of the middle ages. It's just a little weird that science is telling us we ought to be living a little.

PS, Biology also tells us that polygamy is better for the human race than monogamy. You can go ahead and tell your girlfriend that Evolution told you it was OK to cheat. I just have to go out and find someone to cheat with...and on...



My roommate and I already hypothesized the rarest, most stable element, which is actually a compound. It's Gold, Silver, and Platinum arranged where each element is spaced evenly apart in a perfect lattice where the process to form such a thing is what makes it so precious.

Also it's shit brown and causes cancer.

Edit: Also also I love how they use a fume hood at 4:00, but the daisies things more open than a freshman collegiate from so. cal. at a party during Spring Break.

@incest, you have to keep in mind that the chance to inherit a recessive genetic disorder decreases exponentially the further related you are. So screwing your sister isn't on par with screwing your third cousin.

The silly thing about the incest taboo though is that being safe is completely disregarded. I mean, imagine if one or both of the consenting parties are sterile, or even the same gender (two brothers, perhaps). Even relationships like these are taboo "because incest" but it defeats the purpose of WHY incest is taboo to begin with.
