gollark: I have fun videos like "20170928-NFsVGsaCvsk Sustainability! This Couple Cooks All The Meat That Comes Flying Out Of The Portal In Its Backyard.mp4", "20200724-OTKZ0Kv8WfE Electrical Exothermic Welding... A Thermite walks into a bar....mp4", "20200416-vtN4tkvcBMA How I made a basketball hoop that always goes in.mp4", and "20181102-BXU5ONIG4kw The Benefit of Fragmenting your Hard Drive.mp4".
