Love your positive attitude in the face of your cancer treatment. I found out I had cancer last year and a few months ago had to have an ablation surgery. Cancer in general sucks and the experience is something I would not wish on anyone but having a positive attitude (and a distraction) really helped me through. I hope it helps you as well.

The funniest things always started with the phrase "they can't stop us all"

If I had to guess what they meant by “Automated defenses” I would say they meant mines, as those detonate automatically. Either that or the meant things like C-RAM (Counter Rocket, Artillery, and Mortar), which would automatically shoot down projectiles coming from above.

Btw Alicia IH also made a Fyre Festival video (it's one of his earlier ones so unfortunately not a thorough as his newer ones but still pretty funny) that explains what happened pretty succinctly, since you mentioned wanting to know what was up with it.

I remember the day people actually went there, they all looked like they had a lot of fun just being a general nuisance and I love it

I'm a bit glad that I'm not the only one who noticed that the limo driver was sending death threats to an attorney coming to his defense on the driving backwards case. That's some Eric Cartman level, ass-backwards payback, right there.

"I'll be honest, all I know is that fire festival was a shit-show" aaah, how convenient that Internet Historian has an amazing video about THAT TOO!

They never planned to actually break in, it was always a joke and a joke that got a bit out of hand since how viral it became. The Internet Historian presented it as if it was a real thing for jokes since that's how he edits and makes videos.

Someone following this outside of US when it was happening, I was fully expecting people to break in, or some massive campaign to dissolve the attempt before it happens. I was quite anxious about how it's gonna turn out before it was clear the dissolving and dilution of the meme had been successful enough. It turns out in US the dilution efforts had been strong enough, but I had no idea it was strong enough to completely rewrite history. All in all, for the best I guess, there was a risk that people would be gunned down.

Well, Blackbird was developed at Lockheed Martin's Skunk Works, it was sent there for testing. In a ridiculous program that involved the CIA creating an entire fake haulage company to move house-sized wooden containers around. Though the big thing it worked on was the U-2, its reluctance regarding the whole "taking off" thing is why it has that seven-mile runway.

I never understood the nuances of naruto running until I saw Internet Historian, then I realised that my natural run - which to me was just keeping my arms to my sides to avoid swinging, because I have a habit of misjudging my path and either hit people or things - looked like naruto running. So I've been unintentionally naruto running my entire life until I was 19.

Hell yeah more Internet Historian.

Internet Historian did a video on Fyre Fest, it's incredible. An older and shorter video than this one, but a great watch, and gives you the important details of Fyre Fest.

If you ever wanna knows how scams really work, this situation illustrates it really well. Millions of people saw the ad. A little over a million clicked "attend". A few thousand actually showed up at one of those places. It doesn't matter that most of the people who saw it didn't take it seriously. They hooked enough marks to make it worth their while.

Love your reactions to Internethistorian!! Hope you do more soon!! Get well, much support from an Swedish fan!!

If you don't know what happened with Fyre Festival, there's ALSO a good Internet Historian video on that

I WAS HOPING YOU’D DO THIS ONE NEXT!!! 😁

You mentioning your cancer made me remember a stupid but funny thing that happened to me a while back, When I was 16 or 17 I was teaching some kids basic anatomy (the funny way, not some gore or indecent stuff), the thing is that when I mentioned that a friend of mine was fighting cancer a kid asks me the funniest shit I ever heard, and I quote: Kid: If he's fighting it, why doesn't he call the police instead, it can't be that hard That fucking shit had me dead the whole day, the innocence and curiosity of that kid was just awesome

Speaking of Fyre Festival fiasko, Internet Historian covered it in one of his older videos. Also videos about Rainfurrest (yeah, about the Furry convention) and one other Convention that was done by TUmblr users, I just forgot the name of the vid and the name of the convention. Worth checking out.

Also, Alicia, if you want a really amusing series to react to, there is Lazypurple's How It Feels series where he creates SFM videos about his experience of TF2, and it would make you ponder the insanity of that game! There's also Soundsmith's Stereotype series or his Meatloaf clips also in TF2.

Shoot, this makes the second vid I've watched here. Gotta sub after this one. Sorry to hear about your battle with cancer, Alicia. It's tough, but its winnable. Don't give up.

I mean, yes, it is a meme, but it was hilarious to watch actually happen at the time. It was serious popcorn time for a while there as we watched and speculated just how stupid they'd be willing to get.

Internet historian also has a very good video on the fire 🔥 festival if you are interested in learning more about that.
