Over the years I've done many projects where I turned completely inedible things into food, and what I've been really wanting to do for a while now, is to try turning children's glue into drinkable alcohol.

For a couple years now, I've been wanting to turn cotton balls into edible (and literal) cotton candy. It took me a while to figure out how to do it, but I finally did it!

This is kind of a follow-up to my previous project, where I turned toilet paper into drinkable alcohol (moonshine). In that one, I used an enzyme called cellulase, but that didn't seem to work here. So, instead, I used concentrated sulfuric acid.

I've Been Looking for This RARE PS4 for YEARS - But It's BROKEN! I paid $1400 for one of the rarest PS4s. That's a lot of money but this is also something I've been trying to buy for years. Of course it's broken so I need to figure out what exactly is wrong and then get it fully working again.

Today we're exploring an Android phone from 2013. Except, well... it isn't actually a phone. Just a tiny tablet that you could've picked up for $99.

A full length documentary called "Not Everything is Black", where six blind people around the world get asked to take pictures and speak about their blindness.

I know, I know, the duration. Not just pushing the community rules beyond the breaking point, but a 72 minutes video on focus, of all things? Bold move.

On the flipside, consider: You can already start listening while cooking, also, you should not rush eating. I rest my case.

Blurb:

Distraction is one of the hottest button issues today. Everywhere there seems to be assaults on our focus. Recently I came across two wonderful videos by the inimitable Jared Henderson (‪@_jared‬) on our declining focus rates, and it took me on a long research journey into the true terrifying effects of our limited focus.

Life is meaningless, but how do we cope? That is the question asked by Albert Camus in his landmark text The Myth of Sisyphus. Here I will draw upon this work amongst others Camus penned like The Stranger to give an overview of how Camus thinks we should live in a world where everything seems meaningless, and the universe will not hear our calls for a higher purpose. I will also focus on some of his more radical ideas as they are often glossed over or made more palatable by many popular interpretations of his words. Think of this as a slightly more provocative version of my genuine interpretation of the great thinker's ideas.

Found this 1k sub channel that seems to be themed around americana and particularly route 66

I spent three years trying to find out which typeface's capital "I" makes the best I-beam. Along the way I learned how fonts came to be and why I beams look the way they do.
