The World's Worst Metro (NYC Subway)


Seen a video of a rat climbing up a passenger's leg on the New York subway.

Horrifying.

Only God knows.

Legitimately fascinating stuff.  Never been debunked either.




YT comments are normally the dregs of the internet but there's something moving about Carpenters fans trying to listen to a Sonic Youth song and discovering they actually love it

That's a great track, but the video doesn't make many concessions to the sensitivities of KC fans; I would've expected them to be offended by it, if anything.

  No music, no voice-over, no explanation, I thought a couple of mins of this video would be sufficient, but then found myself watch the whole thing:-



What you desire is of lesser value than what you have found.

Yep which is why it's particularly nice to see. I guess SY would say it's necessary to strip away the feel-good all-American family-friendly aspect of the Carpenters to get at the tragedy underneath...

That was also the idea behind an underground biopic of KC that came out in 1988 and inspired Kim Gordon to write this beautiful song. The director got sued by the brother...

Not trying to sound alarmist here, but how can you be Gen Z in America and not even know Barack Obama's last name? This country's education system is so broken.

The geography ones are appalling. Even when I speak to Americans who seem decent and well spoken, intelligent even, as soon as geography is involved they're like WTF.

Do you not learn geography in school? 🙀

Only God knows.

I learned geography, but I agree that there are quite a few Americans with a surprisingly poor grasp of it.

This is what you want. This is what you get.



I normally hate Youtube prank videos but he has mastered the art and does them so well. Also the merch tie in near the end was super clever. I'm kind of tempted to get the shirt but at the same time. I don't agree with the message it conveys so I'm conflicted.

The lady that works at Target deserves a raise, her customer service was A1 and on point. I loved her interaction in this video.

I was this cool the whole time.
