Remember These 5 Throwback YouTube Videos?

youtube

It's safe to say that the invention of YouTube changed our generation and the way we interact. I remember when we were first introduced to it in 5th or 6th grade. My friends and I would spend hours on end looking up random and pointless videos on YouTube. Looking back, I see how much time we wasted doing this, but I also remember the hours of gut-splitting laughter that resulted from these videos. So, here's a look into my late childhood entertainment, and the entertainment of many others my age.

1. Muffins

This is a video with absolutely no point. It is also a video with basically no storyline. This video consists mostly of an endless string of muffin flavors.

2. Charlie The Unicorn

This is a video of a journey to the majestic Candy Mountain. It is a long journey filled with pointless banter ending with a surprise twist. Stay tuned to see what it is.

3. Potter Puppet Pals: The Mysterious Ticking Noise

This video contains a catchy tune that will be stuck in your head for years, decades, eons even. Fun fact: When my friends and I were about 5th graders, we recreated this video at a sleepover. The finished product was epic, though I'm unsure where it ended up. Enjoy!

4. The Duck Song

This video shows many emotions through the character of a small business owner: a man at a lemonade stand. This man goes from happy to frustrated to distraught very quickly with the help of an ever so persistent duck.

5. Marcel The Shell With Shoes On

This video details the life of an extremely well rounded shell. Marcel can do many things that I couldn't even dream of (hang-gliding for example). Also, the voice used in this video is absolutely adorable.

If you have made it this far, I would like to now apologize for this time of your life that I have wasted. You can never get these fourteen minutes and six seconds of your life back, and for that, I am truly sorry. After re-watching all of these videos that I found so humorous in my childhood, I now realize how pointless they were and how little sense they make. But hey, at the time, they were amazing. I hope they brought you back to a younger you!

The Soul of Sound: How AI Challenges Human Expression in Music

Humans and robots face off in a rock band battle with guitars and drums, under dynamic lighting.

StableDiffusion

In an age where artificial intelligence can mimic the voice of Freddie Mercury or reimagine pop hits as synthwave ballads, a new frontier has emerged — one that blurs the line between innovation and erosion. While AI offers undeniable benefits in technical domains, its intrusion into creative arts, especially music, raises urgent questions. Not just about copyright, but about culture, education, and the very soul of artistic expression.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

Why Your Astrological Sign May Not Match Your Personality

We are all more than just one sign.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

An open letter to the good-hearted people.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
