The Dark Side Of The (You)Tube

Have you ever played the Wikipedia Game? You start off by clicking on a website at random. I've heard of a few different ways to go about your travels throughout Wikipedia; one way entails picking an article you want to end at. By clicking on links from the starting point, you eventually find your way there. Another version entails finding your way back to your original starting point, only by clicking.

Have you ever done this with Youtube, except with no expectations of where to end up? Have you let auto play take you were you've never dreamed of before? Have you clicked and clicked until you're not sure exactly where you are, what you're looking at, what you're watching?

Youtube has endless possibilities. Here are a list of videos I've come across, without any regrets. Enjoy.

Will Ferrell Is Little Debbie

Let's start off with something light; Will Ferrell as Little Debbie--I mean, he is Little Debbie. Just look at that bonnet and dress. Look at those Swiss Rolls.

Turkish Man Yelling "Meow" at an Egg

I wish I had an explanation for this. I wish I remember the journey that led me to this.

I Smell Like Beef

You heard them. They smell like beef.

Goat Yelling in the Desert

This goat has become a Vine celebrity. Still, I found this video by accident.

Dog Getting a Head Massage Relaxing

Man Argues With Spitting Goat

Pickle Surprise

I should apologize for this one. I'm sorry.

Extremely Creepy 1960s Cereal Commercial

If you are afraid of clowns, I am sorrier for this one than the previous video. If you weren't afraid of clowns, I'm sorry for now making you terrified of one.

The description of this video captures it better than I ever can: "Well, nothing sells breakfast cereal to kids like a creepy clown. Clowns, usually, are nightmare fuel as it is, but this one would have made the kiddies have night sweats."

Strawberry Shortcut

There is no doubt in my mind that this video was made by the same person who made the "Pickle Surprise" video. You'd think I found this while watching this video, but I found it on a completely different Youtube journey. What are the odds? Apparently likely.

HEYYEYAAEYAAAEYAEYAA

According to one of the comments, this particular video has more views than the original video. There is also a 10 hour version.

Paula Deen Riding My Cat.

These videos are only scraping at the Youtube surface. Give it a whirl yourself; what can you find? Search without knowing what you're searching for--it's more interesting than watching a movie.

AI music threatens creativity

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

391783

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.

The Importance Of Being A Good Person

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.
