    I loved the era of youtube where people put up 30 second silly clips of their cats or stick figure edits or what have you. It reminds me of a time when the internet was a fun, friendly place. I used to subscribe to /r/youtubehaiku for exactly that reason.

    All that being said, I present to you: Meow

      /r/youtubehaiku was one of my favourite subreddits for a while. It's a shame it died a death after /r/tiktokcringe got huge.

      Reminded me of this bit of ancient goofiness: Meow. Which, if you don't recall the channel name but only the basic idea of the video from years and years ago, is not easy to search for.

    The Story Behind This Giant Rock in the Middle of a Field YouTube – PBS Terra – 16th October 2023

    The Story Behind This Giant Rock in the Middle of a Field

    Devil’s Tower, also known as Mato Tipila or Bear’s lodge, was formed over 50 million years ago. Rising dramatically from the Wyoming plains, this spellbinding monolith is a pillar of Lakota Sioux mythology, and an enduring challenge to rock climbers worldwide. But through thousands of years of human fascination, one critical question remains unanswered: how did it get here?

      Hey, what gives, that link's already purple! I love seeing PBS Terra being shared here, it's such a wonderful channel. I greatly enjoyed how much of an emphasis they put on the Lakota people in this video as well.

      Have you checked out some of their other channels? Rogue History is particularly awesome.

        I've dabbled a little with PBS Storied, and their Otherwords series with Erica Brozovsky.

    The Obscure History of Japanese Sea Lords PBS Origins - March 30 2023

    The Obscure History of Japanese Sea Lords

    From the anime series to Netflix's new live-action adaptation of the famous One Piece manga, the intersection of Japan and pirates has fueled ongoing interest. So we dug into the surprising history of the proclaimed Sea Lords, the social underdogs who ruled Japanese waters for 200 years!

    They held immense political power and even helped integrate Japan into the early global economy. Despite this, medieval Japanese society labeled them “kaizoku,” or “pirates.” In this episode of Rogue History, we dive into the origins of Japan’s Sea Lords and explain how one family solidified their legacy.
