Dear Editor Kenny, No one ever talks about you, but I see you. I see everything you do. I see all the hard work you put into editing every EmKay video. I know it’s very hard myself, as I have created and posted videos as well. I’ve always wanted to say this: thank you. You may be a speck of dust in comparison to the whole universe, but that single speck of dust inspired me more than anything else in this giant universe. Thank you for what you do. You deserve so much credit, as you are often the untold hero. Go do what you do best: be you. Thank you, for being you. From a fellow friend, Salazarslitherin
Also @EmKay literally freaking out bc I’ve been watching and commenting on y’all’s vids for 4 years straight n this is the first time y’all even interacted w one of my comments. Thank you so much y’all are a gift from God Himself.
Thank you for such kind words Salazar ♥ It's great to see that all the hard work I put into the videos is appreciated! Makes me want to put in even more effort. I'm glad I've managed to inspire you! Although video editing isn't the most life changing thing in the world (compared to doctors and scientists and the like). That fact I can help entertain and bring a positive change to people makes me happy. So thank you!
Another fact regarding the Choctaw tribe. During Covid, Ireland send supplies to the tribe as a thank you and to help because the US government wasn't helping them. One tribe when asking the government for supplies, was sent body bags.
No they didn't. They sent the aid to the Navajo and Hopi tribes. Ireland paid it forward not back as many reportors ignorantly wrote. These are completely different nations. It's like saying France sent aid to the US and then the US returned the favor by sending aid to Poland.
@@LizzieShiro Canada hasn't had much issues with natives. There was a few massive issues in the 90s but otherwise it's only minor disagreements which are always worked out. Have you heard of the Metis? They were a group of people who were mixed native and European and they've existed in Canada for a long time.
@@AIHumanEquality The main issues between the native tribes & the government (in regards to territory & the like) may have been (at least somewhat) resolved, but the way crimes against natives is treated has NOT improved. Too often (in both the US & Canada), if the person reported missing or found dead (by foul play or suspicious circumstances) is native (particularly native women), the police too often just sweep it under the rug (if they acknowledge it at all). Both Canada & the US have a lot of problems with our native populations that have not been resolved.
I also really liked it. I think CGI is so cool, I want to use 3D models myself to animate someday (I have Blender and made a donut lol), so I hate when people are instantly bashing on the quality, as if it doesn't look very good. Especially in Jurassic World movies. The Indominous Rex was well animated, the Velociraptors were too, and Rexy is still glorious. I feel bad for the animators. It's just as hard to perfect as practical effects.
The rant was cool but the thing is no one really said it was bad in the post they were just sayin how it was cool to see George Lucas with all the practical stuff he had built
The sad fact is, CGI is overused BUT it's because CGI artists don't have the same labor protections as practical effects artists, not because it's bad. Both mediums are excellent and can be used together create even better effects than individually, the reason it doesn't happen is because companies prefer to exploit and overtax cgi artists because it's cheaper for them. So much so that it's killed off some of the practical effects industry because they don't want to pay for workers with rights and shit. This is why we support ALL industry artists unionizing! Give CGI artists proper protections AND bring in more practical effects! Give me those fake explosions and real sets! Mix the puppets with cgi elements! GRAAAAAAAH
@@fluffiestbug I agree that they should be fairly compensated but the reason it's used a lot is because it's easier than doing hand animations. All CGI is, is computer made animations. I think people don't fully understand any animations made with computers can be CGI.
Robin did you just suggest that the Great Pyramid of Giza was made from "SMALL" bricks?! Those stones wiegh 2.5 TONS on average and were transported from 800 Kilometers away!!! Dont get me wrong, it was cleraly built by humans using ancient methods, but it was a literal monumental effort!
15:12 actually togo was the sled dog that lead the dogs through one of the most dangerous leg of the journey. He didnt get the credit as much as balto did. This fact alone is sad.. But interesting fact about togo is he waa named after a Japanese admiral who fought in the war between russia and japan in 1904-1905
He not only lead on the most dangerous stretch, as they crossed over the sound, but the longest as well as more since one of the mushers they were supposed to meet up with got lost.
The musher that lead Togo also owned Balto and was so angry that Balto got all the credit and not his favorite dog that he sold Balto and the dogs he was with to a sideshow in Ohio. For years they were chained to a wall until the citizens of Cincinnati collected a fund and bought them so Balto and the other dogs could live out the rest of their days in the zoo there.
I have some sad news, that giraffe and her calf was killed by poachers, she was in a nature reserve and the poachers trespassed and shot and killed her and her calf.
4:21 Oscar is his name. “Unsinkable Sam” is the nickname. He got the name Oscar from the crew of the HMS Cossack (which is the second of the three ships he survived). He was given the nickname “Unsinkable Sam” after HMS Cossack was torpedoed. After his third ship fiasco, he retired to Belfast and lived for another 14 years. He has his own portrait in the National Maritime Museum. This cat has a Wikipedia article.
Emkay always makes me feel better after bad days. I always love coming home from a stressful day then hearing Robin, Lexi, Damien and Jack talking about the things their passionate about. Keep up the good work everyone!
8:33 no you don't get how badass that dude was. He was the camps only "doctor" because he had some medical knowledge from being a dentist. While the enemy was raiding his camp a soldier stab to death a patient be had just spent hours trying to save. So in response he grabs a bayonet stabs 5 guys to death, then finds a mounted machine gun and just starts fire. He killed 98 men, and when they found him dead he had been shit 12 times and stabbed 7. He had 2 soldiers dead ontop of him!
That cave being underwater makes perfect sense, Sea levels have risen like 70-100m since then. Its really sad to think of all the countless archaeological sites lost beneath the seas, as humans typically live by the see we have lost so so very much
Nice video as always. Anyways, I just wanted to mention that The Disgusting Food Museum that is located in Malmö, Sweden has a blend of different food items, Surströmming or as it's named in English Fermented Herring is included among them which is a Swedish one, the museum seem to have items considered disgusting from a lot of different countries all around the world and it doesn't exclude itself either. I've never been there so far but maybe one day in the future as it has spiked some curiosity after walking past it a few times during my visits to that city. If anyone takes the time to read this, I hope you have pleasant day/evening/night.
Thanks for the info. The video narrator calls out the salt in American food, but the added sugar is much worse. Salt is blamed for things it's not responsible for.
Hey Robin! Just to put your worries at ease, German Shepards that are trained for police work, are trained from a young age, which means that they have been well socialized with cats, so the "forbidden" nature of them has been subdued. If any of the GSDs in the photo were to fail, it's very likely that they were too excited to see the cat and wanted to greet it/ cuddle it. Happened with my failed service GSD and now I have a cat that hates me because the GSD bonded with it.
whenever i hear robin ranting about people naming their kids stupid shit, it always takes me about a minute to remember that the reason why is probably because his name is Christopher Robin (which i find adorable but, like, i get it)
I believe the museum of disgusting foods are from everything around the world, so trust me there's Swedish food in there as well. It's mostly about the difference in expectations of what people see as normal between cultures, really. And we have surströmming; The worst food. The food that is banned in places. Not just because it's a biological hazard, but also because the cans are a pressure vessel. So don't worry, we got you beat there.
Finnish mämmi belongs in that place, probably is. I've tried it, no matter what, it tastes what it looks like. Or liver casserole... just gawd. Finnish food... has its perks, but if you have foreigners visiting, those two dishes STAY in the store and are never spoken about.
emkay is a channel that has a charm to it that most other reddit reading channels lack. maybe it's the personalities of the narrators, or the attention-capturing editing- or maybe it's the little things like keeping in robin dying and retching at 4:40 even though it has nothing to do with the prompt. get well soon robin
I feel cgi is best used to supplement live action effects. I feel having something physical helps the actors properly react to it before adding the cgi to make it look cool
@@rather_be_a_cat Mine once walked over to the neighbor's dog, a full grown Bernese mountain dog, and started eating his steak. When the dog growled at her, after a period of confusion because this creature smaller than his head showed up to eat his food, she just smacked him on the nose and continued eating. If the word "Boss bitch" was a cat.
9:25: Yes, and yes (I think). She was a journalist and assumed it would be rejected so she could use it as an example of an outrageous name (as her request for examples had been ignored, IIRC). The baby was also nearly called 'nangs rule' (nitrous oxide) but she decided to go for methamphetamine because everyone would know what that was, and there was a chance they may not know that nangs is slang for nitrous oxide. Unfortunately, although I'm pretty sure an article said they did change the name, the babies name will forever be on the register, even though the registrar has admitted it was a mistake to approve it..
I have two theories on the Stephen Hawking thing. Either: 1) When time travel becomes a thing, one of the major rules is "Don't attend that party". Or 2) Someone did show up, but they told him not to tell anyone.
The problem with American food isn't the type of food but lack of regulation/enforcement on American food manufacturing and importing. I compared soft drinks of the same brand between American ones and Canadian ones and the sugar and salt and other unhealthy content was much higher in the American versions.
Regarding the baby name, she made a video article about it and it was accepted as a legitimate name. Her husband even yelled in the background at the end of the video to change the baby's name. The reason why she decided to test this because it has weird laws where you are not to name a child anything vulgar or a name that is used as a title like King.
Fun fact, there was a SM64 speedrun where a glitch happened that is literally impossible to re-create because an Ionizing Particle from space changed a 0 to a 1 (or vice versa) in the N64 that caused it to teleport Mario up some platforms in "Tick-Tock Clock" and saved time.
Kurzgesagt recently uploaded a video on the possible origins of life, and in short, as the universe cooled down, there was undeniably a period where everything was a habitable zone, meaning that any tiny rock with the right ingredients would have developed life. Which, in turn, means that there could be thousands of planets with life on them.
18:54 It's part of iirc hinduism or budism. The person wants to reach nirvana (Death without being reborn) and from what I know they reach it in one way by making and keeping a promise with the gods. Like "I vow to never sit down until my death" or "I will never speak again". Stuff like that. This guy probs vowed to never lower his arm until his death.
Robin rants are appreciated, and yea the rant joke itself is just that a joke hks rants are actually always pretty insightful. Also kenny's editor origin story :0. Also kenny you yourself is very appreciated. Still my fav editor :3
@15:00 in case anyone wants to know, Balto was recently returned to display with the reopening of his "home" at the @The Cleveland Museum of Natural history.
That Minecraft library better have some good anti-griefing security. All that work for something so good being destroyed by trolls looking to piss people off or control what people think would be absolutely horrendous.
"The closest we'll ever get is bacteria" I love this sentiment, You're just asking for xenomorphs. Jinx us over and over then everyone surprised when half the population gets impregnated by facehuggers. You keep taunting the universe and it will respond.
18:13 We have foods from all over the world! such as our Surströmming, Durian, fermented shark, stinky tofu, Casu Marzu, these are all taken from their website so ,source... Them. It's not a museum of "haha america bad" but a museum of "wow all cultures eat some weird shit"
There are also things such as tarantulas, worms/maggots, bull's penis... It's located in Malmö and entry price is approximately $20 , AND you can taste some of these things if you wish
As an artist who's favorite visual medium to use is CG, THANK YOU! Blender specifically really has democratized filmmaking for anyone with a decent computer who has the time to learn the ropes
Ooh! Like Sweet Molasses! Going to Drown New Unsuspecting Children 13:03. And she looks more beholding on the right than she had on the left. Aged Purrfectly!! 😊😊🥰🥰🥰🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩
Sheesh Robin.... ranting and raving and telling people to chill tf out about CGI when NO ONE said anything to even remotely trigger such a rant...... like, re-check the subreddit name. I know your job is to "entertain" by being a bit over the top, but ffs Robin, you really do have something wedged right up there, don't you??
I agree on the points about CG. I love the original two Hellraiser films, and one of the things that makes that movie's visual style so distinct is how it uses mostly practical effects for actual objects, and things, and CG solely for energy and as a way to highlight the otherworldly-ness of the Cenobites during their entrance scene. Even though the CG is, objectively, pretty bad even by the standards for the time, being done with film-scratch methods, it would not be the same movie without it, and you could not do those effects practically. It wouldn't be until Hellraiser 3 that CGI effects were used liberally, and that's about the point where the series begins to decline. Apparently that decision can be blamed on, and I'm not joking, Harvey Weinstein himself. Somehow, Hellraiser 3 still ended up being decent because Clive Barker was brought in at the last minute for production and editing. Now 4 is a special story, being wildly simplified by Miramax to try to appeal to slasher audiences, and changing the script to the point of irreconcilability to give Pinhead sexual tension with the female lead for no reason. Also yes that is the movie where they made spaceship puzzle boxes to try to trap Pinhead in the future.
And I think the reason people are going off on the CG stuff is that its sort of gone downhill over the years in some areas - like the Iron Man suit in the first movie was for the most part CGI and looked very realistic in both appearance and mechanisms within it (from what I heard). Its less of a criticism towards CGI as a whole, more of a criticism of how CG in movies are rushed at the expense of its quality or it has poor quality altogether.
11:33 Just FYI, by "organic materials," they're almost definitely not talking about cells, or anything else that could have once been truly alive. They're probably talking proteins or lipids or polysacharides or whatever. This is *faaaaaaar* from the first time a meteor/meteorite was found to have things like that on/in it.
I will grant that Twinkies are only _technically_ "food"; they're basically an edible chem-lab project. They're garbage. But they're sadly tasty garbage, and we are just trash-pandas.
The Kennedy news paper reminded me of the Martin Luther King Jr death because my grandma states she remembers seeing the story of his passing on like page 12 of the news paper, I wish she kept it but I know she's moved dozen of times so there's no way she still has it It just goes to show how much more respect we have for these people now vs. then
9:34 she was just trying to see if it worked and yes it did work, and then she decided she did not want to have her baby names that she was just trying out to see if it could work, but yeah, she changed his name
18:40 Yep, we have Surströmming it's one of the worst things in the world. Tbh it's so bad we don't even need to put anything else in to say our tastebuds suck.
If anyone is wondering about Unsinkable Sam I looked him up and here's something from his wiki. "The cat's original name is unknown. The name "Oscar" was given by the crew of the British destroyer HMS Cossack that rescued him from the sea following the sinking of the German battleship Bismarck. "Oscar" was derived from the International Code of Signals for the letter 'O', which is code for "Man Overboard"[1] (the German spelling, "Oskar", was sometimes used, since he was a German cat)." so both names (Oscar/Oskar and Unsinkable Sam) are correct. I totally recommend reading about him, very interesting that a cat survived three sinkings
11:57 man I hate the internet because whenever I see some "alien evidence" I immediately ask myself is this real. because of all the stupid clickbait and lies spread on the internet. this is cool and Im sad that this is how I react
as of 6 years ago Mauritania does have red on their flag so Jamaica is the only country with no red white or blue your correction is outdated the post is right
Honestly Robin, i agree with the CGI rant, heck, my favorite movie studio rarely uses CGI in any of their movies, and even with low budgets sells blockbusters... 90% of the time, i would have said 95 but a few of their movies are bad. As for the studio, Blumhouse, almost all their movies are practical effects, and the one that drops friday, FNAF, has help from Henson studios to keep it practical. CGI does not equal Better
If anyone is curious about the „Balto“ Story, I highly suggest watching Togo. Not a cartoon, this movie is more like a documentary from a different angle that media usually does. Balto was one of the sled dogs to lead the last bit back to the town with the disease outbreak and hence became famous. Togo was the lead dog to run the farthest, by a long shot.
Queen Victoria’s ivory ball was made during a time where there were a lot of rhinos and elephants and hunting them for the ivory wasn’t nearly as harmful. There were a lot less people hunting the animals, and they always used the entire animal too. This isn’t anything like the horrid modern poaching of rhinos and elephants.
Which is why it is only legal to buy ivory if it is a certain age now. If it is too young so to speak, meaning from a time when the animals were endangered, then you cannot legally sell or buy it.
@@tsubakiofmelancholy6297 It is only legal if you are part of an organization or agency permitted by the government, for the sole purposes of taking the ivory off of the market. For example, I am pretty sure rhino and elephant conservation groups can legally buy it
Here in the US, we have this strange city known as Houston. Lemme tell you about Houston. You can drive 10 or 11 hours across Houston and still be in Houston with a ways to go until you're out of Houston. And that's just a single city in Texas., the SECOND largest state in the country.
First one brought me back to the days when I watched that one Pokemon series on Netflix. That shit was what happened when the rock puppy was evolving. It caused it to turn into a bigger dog. That's it. Instead of it's regular red emo version. That memory remained locked away until just then.
I live not far from that lake with the super long name in Massachusettes, we just call it "Lake Manchog". To this day my grandmother was the only person that I've known that could pronounce the whole thing.
12:43 and as a fellow choctaw im proud of my people. Sadly the malnourishment wasnt the only thing my ancestors were dealing with at that time but it's what makes the donations that much more powerful! And She did change his name and she also said she will not be he giving me his name to the public because she doesn't want this following him his whole life but I don't think she realizes people can just look her name up and easily find his name you're just fucking weird if you do because that's a innocent child you're deep diving into it lol.
CGI isn't inherently bad. NON-UNIONIZED CGI production tends to be bad because artists don't get to devote the time, energy, & creativity they need to make it look good. Incidentally, the reason Disney & other big animated movie industries abandoned 2d hand-drawn animation was BECAUSE they began unionizing, & going all-CGI was just the cheaper option. Wonder what they'll do now that CGI artists are starting to push to unionize?
Sorry Robin, I just looked up the Wiki Page that shows all the flags by Country... And with the exception of Jamaica, they ALL have some shade of Red, White and/or Blue on them... I know this is Jamaican you Crazy, but it's true... 😄😁😆😅😂🤣
I went to look up the dates that Tron and The Last Starfighter came out vs. Young Sherlock Holmes and to my surprise, the first film using CGI was Hitchcock’s Vertigo in 1958. The spiraling 2D background depicted of the protagonist’s vertigo was CGI.
Good cgi in movies is cgi you don't notice, if I can notice it's cgi when I'm zoned out watching the movie, then the cgi isn't good enough, as expensive as it is, it's just a thing I think when I see cgi obvious in movies.
sadly white giraffe and its baby were found dead, killed by poachers... we just can't have nice things. "Kenya had three rare all-white giraffes. Two of them have been killed. Wildlife officials announced in a statement Tuesday that a female and her seven-month-old were found “in a skeletal state after being killed by armed poachers” in a nature conservancy in Ijara, northeastern Kenya, likely four months ago.Mar 11, 2020"
