Sanity pit [SFW]

[Kontra Kommando]

I just finished watching a video that I thought was pretty interesting. But since it was kind of dated, and not much discussion can be yielded from it, creating a thread for it seemed unnecessary. Insanity pit is a place for sharing outrageous/joke/non-sense videos and posts that do not merit a thread. I figured, why not create a thread with the same concept, but the opposite content.

So here goes:

Post your random documentaries; lectures; demonstrations; etc.

Just for you, I uploaded this boring video:

Thanks Maes, looks like this thread wasn't such a piece of shit idea after all.

here's another video:

Ew jewel wasps. Not as bad as spider wasps, though.

A boring video about antique tractors

Interesting video but, for me, it was undermined by the presentation style. I really don't like that kind of sensationalist/tabloid voice-over and unnecessarily dramatic music way of presenting a video about something quite academic. To me it makes the whole thing into "soundbite TV" and undermines the content, particularly the interviewed experts, IMO.

Give me David Attenborough over that any day. ;)

But while we are on "zombie" insects...

Even more boring stuff for ya.

I suppose I'll join in with this rather interesting demonstration of what happens to a bullet fired underwater.

And since the Youtube embed was giving me crap earlier, here's a link instead, in case it still refuses to load.

Here's a cautionary (and rather old) tale on the pitfalls of smoking marijuana, seems it's almost as bad for your health as playing Doom.

I'm going to listen to those audio books while I draw/program.

A map of every nuclear explosion from 1945-1998.

Looks like the content of this thread can almost come full circle with the content in the insanity pit. The super-ego can be just as destructive, if not worse than the id.

The RCA-to-coax adapter at 8:00 is the best option. Only four bucks at Radio Shack and almost every TV, old and new, has a cable/antenna coaxial input.

Yes, I absolutely agree. I own two of them along with the traditional switch box for both my Atari 2600/7800 and Colecovision. I got them cheap off Amazon for like $1.29 each plus free shipping.

I'll just leave this here.

Playing Doom on an ATM

That one was covered fairly recently

Here's the original BFG in action, 280mm artillery guns test firing nuclear shells.
