This video about hippos and their life cycle has some quality comments. As per usual in my posts, here are a select few.

do hippos actually switch their gender or is it just a narrative device?

Imagine being a crocodile and when you finally find easy prey (wildebeest herd crossing) a giant hippo decides to stop you for absolutely no reason.

So basically your life as a hippo is 45% eating, 10% sticking to your mother, 45% trying to mate and 690% bullying crocodiles.

That Hippo is practically a Dark Souls protagonist to other male hippos and a boss character to others, especially Crocodiles.

Poor crocodiles living next to those monsters :(

Crazy stupid in battle. Crazy cupid on a nice date.

The real kicker here is that Peter Frampton appears to have only jumped from a second floor balcony, so he probably wouldn't have died but just hurt his ass a bunch.

Rewind 1978...Theater audiences amidst their dismay to the movie actually were shouting "Jump, Jump!" to Peter Frampton as he was implying to jump from a not so high 2nd level. This was suppose to end Billy's & the audience's misery of this movie. They all got disappointed when Preston-Pepper showed up and ruined a perfect ending! I <3 The BEE GEES and this movie is now a cult classic. Nothing wrong with the movie as it is a silly movie. Problem was before release, it was hyped as the "new" Gone With The Wind epic of the 70's.

Didn't just bring him back to kill him, Caine also lobotomized him down to two stereotypical Aussie catchphrases so he wouldn't question things again.

It pleases me to know that humanity’s collective first attempts to speak French sounded exactly like any individual person’s first attempts to speak French.

Liz Truss was in office for 49 days, around 4.15million seconds. She contributes 4.84 seconds of content to this video. If this video reaches 865k views, she will have literally spent more time in this video than in office.

NOTE: You have to look waaaaaayyy deep down in the video's comments section to locate the cited comment.

I'd like to throw in one part of an interpretation I got while watching this that I think is a large part of many peoples' decision making process. Fundamentally, saying that a game is 'part of the mainline Super Mario series' is, in part, a value judgment. Fundamentally, a lot of the games get excluded simply because it doesn't feel like they deserve to be in the category, regardless of any specific categorizations to consider. I'm sure jan Misali has the perfect real game to describe this point, but I don't so I'm going to go with a thought experiment.

Imagine a game that fits every qualification you can think of for being considered a mainline game, with the exception that it's absolutely and universally agreed to be complete hot garbage. "Super Mario Gets An Abortion (1984)" is a sidescrolling 2d platformer released on official Nintendo hardware made and published by an in house developer where you play as Mario and with no connection to any other possible series. Its sprites look like a five year old possessed by the devil created them, you have a 50/50 chance to crash the game every time you step on a goomba, and it doxxes you every time you turn it on. It has sold -12 copies world wide, and showing someone the box art is legally considered a hate crime.

Now, is this a Super Mario game? By every realistic objective metric, the answer is an unambiguous yes, but I suspect you would be hard pressed to convince most people to describe it as such, by simple virtue of the fact it in no way deserves that title. I imagine a less severe version of this effect can explain why, say, Super Mario Bros. (Game & Watch, 1986), doesn't get counted. It's not that it fails on any technical metric, it's that it doesn't feel sophisticated enough to be considered one. Even if you would argue there is some specific detail it fails to live up to, I feel that would likely be a post hoc justification, rather than the fundamental reason it wouldn't count as such.

Therefore, because I main Game & Watch in Smash Bros., I am legally required to consider it in fact the only legitimate mainline Super Mario Game, with all others being inferior in his absence.

Why yes, I have just watched a video of three people making and then eating toast, and I was still entertained by it.

Gotta give Sega credit, they captured the desperate, burning feeling of "I need to breathe now" in music form.

i can imagine the guy playing the banjo needed bandages on his fingers after this

I loved this song when I was little, but I confess it feels incomplete without the sound of Mario screaming as he falls to his death.

This is stuck in my head at least once a week for no reason.

I really like the mental image of a teacher surreptitiously collecting DNA from each student in their class and sequencing each individual genome, all to arrange their seating chart based on genetic similarity.

Playing this while trying to do anything you don't completely understand makes it feel like a comedy sketch

the theme song for every artist who plugged in their tablet and then did nothing for 6 hours

I literally had this playing for eight hours straight into my ear one day in my office job... It was one of my most productive days ever...

I love how the INSTANT salty mentioned an op anime protagonist brassmo gained a rival

Brassmo lives on, in the form of the idea he manifests his traits whenever you get absurd RNG in any real life situation/game

Brassmo's story is one of the most tragic in media. He went all his life thinking that he was undefeatable, when worthy opponents finally showed up, the world took away his chance to overcome them

New theory: The reason this truck flawlessly passes through so much shit in the way is that it's the same truck from Big Rigs.

I can imagine that after this, someone from GUN's R&D was looking over the footage of the chase and thinking "Mhmm, mhmm...I think the truck needs rocket thrusters. And magnetic wheels. And hell, why not Buzzsaws too?"

When you have 49 seconds left to done your test. Edit: Ok I love how this replies section becomes a time trial xD
