r/Nonpoliticaltwitter | bruhhh just leave them alone. 

To answer the question in the thumbnail, those are dead leaves. It would be rude to leave those bodies and not give them a proper burial.

Fun fact about Pokémon: while frowned upon, it is entirely legal to marry and mate with intelligent humanoid Pokémon, as long as they consent. In one game, you can see a man get married to a Lopunny.

Totally with you on the idea of natural, diverse lawns. Even beyond the environmental benefits, my grandparents used to have a front yard that was largely moss, and it was the best thing in the world for a barefoot kid to run around on.

12:51 "if I ever look up into the sky at night and see an advertisement I'm becoming a terrorist." -Wendigoon I think this quote applies here.

7:39 I can tell you that, at least in certain towns, it's *required* people rake the leaves in their yard (or hire someone to do it for them) in order to prevent the leaves from getting into the sewers via the storm drains and clogging the whole thing up.

Robin: I'll take the healthy, sugar free version of the drink. Also Robin: I want to eat an entire rectangle of cheese. No Ill will, just thought it was funny.

Someone needs to turn off that fog machine, poor Robin's gonna cough up a lung.

2:06 actually Squidward did nothing do deserve it in that episode. it's one of many reasons we call post-movie SpongeBob the "dark age"

Being escorted to a police station doesn't automatically mean you were or will be arrested 😭 It's not that strange for cops to talk to people at the station. Something like prank calls, it would depend on the context of the prank call because we used to get them at Spencer's and it was always this one guy who would start out very normal, asking normal questions about product, but after a few minutes it would become obvious that he was touching himself.... anyway... police got involved... I doubt this little 7th grader was calling businesses doin' weirdo shit like that though... so it was probably just a convenient place for them to chat with him about why he shouldn't do that... and also probably a scare tactic to some degree.

Grass lawns were originally a way to show people how successful you were. Sort of a "look how much land I can afford to waste on inedible weeds instead of crops" type of deal. So you're absolutely right, grass IS a waste of money, time, and water, and it's meant to be that way.

14:00 So, Context: Monsieur Vatel wasn't just "waiting for fish". He was Maitre'd for a Nobleman in Louis XVI France. In that era, a Maitre'd was a Combination of Head Butler, Head Chef, Head of Security, and your personal MC and EO. The "fish" he waited was an entire catering worth of food that was designated to be served to the King of France and about 500-600 Retainers. And Monsieur Vatel life was literally built to be a Maitre'd. He served about 4 other Nobles before he commited suicide

About the costume party that turned out to be a wedding: on another channel I heard a story about a young couple copying that (admittedly pretty cool) idea. One guy turned up as The Corpse Bride. Once he realized it was a wedding, he even asked the groom if he should change costumes, but got told it was fine. What happened? Bride was extremely pissed, didn't talk to him during the party and later reprimanded him for 'showing up to her wedding in a wedding dress'. 🙄🙄🙄

9:59 Small town police have nothing better to do. They didn't officially arrest him, they brought him to his mother. It's likely mom found out and asked the cops, (or a cop probably knowing them by name), to find her son for her. They were happy to oblige.

I just liked how Robbin just got mad at the end about not being able to eat the food right away.

I will personally spend £1500 on a TV with Schlatt’s face burned into it

I think there was more to seafood guy Vatel. If I recall correctly, the fish was for a royal banquet and only some of the fish that he ordered arrived in the morning. When he asked whomever took the delivery if more was to arrive soon, they said no. Thinking that he messed up the order and would be executed, he figured it was better to just end things on his terms. And then when the fish arrived he was already dead. I could be misremembering because I heard the story a while ago. But it was more than "fish late. Better die." It was more "It is too shameful and terrifying to face the king with my job unfinished. I guess I’ll just hope hell is more merciful than the king."

As Julius Caesar, i can confirm that i think about the roman empire all the time

14:16 She leaves in disgust, and the pharmacist is left distraught as he has lost yet another date.

Robin talked about grass, well our tiny grass lawn is filled with flowers (due to being lazy and just letting it grow) and the garden is filled with bumble bees every year and it is great!

10:15 seems believable to me, in seventh grade I got arrested and slammed into the ground for sticking my arm outside the school gate.

Hey, EmKay. Where'd Lexi go? Feels like she hasn't shown up for a while

Q: couldn't you "reverse" screen burn-in by reversing the colours, like a photo negative, and leave it on for the same amount of time?

I mean, the TV thing could be worse. I recall hearing a story where a dude's friends did that to their TV intentionally as a prank and the frame stopped on involved a...let's say rather willowy young man in a kneeling position between two bodybuilders.

Doesn't matter when i come here the videos you guys do always make me laugh/smile

The only thing I have to say about raking leaves (which I agree, is stupid) is that if they are over concrete, they will break down and make it slippery. While over lawns/gardens etc, they'll just break down into mulch and be good for the soil.

In the Pokemon universe, there is even a pokemon who is literally _just some guy dressed up like a mime_ ("Mr. Mime"), Ash's mom actually owns one, who she takes with her wherever she goes and does household chores and such for her (basically, apparently, literally a house slave). And she makes him eat his dinner out of a dog-food bowl on the floor. In the Japanese version of one of the games, there is a reference to the fact that in the past humans and pokemon used to even get married to each other (but that apparently does not happen in modern times). In the English version this was changed to just say that they used to be equals; however, that arguably seems to have even worse implications that creatures which _used to be considered equal to humans_ are now universally treated like chattel and forced into literal slavery, and everyone in the entire world seems to be fine with that...

Rarely comment but have to say pointing out the lack of humor for the dad with captain ravioli, then going on to lack the humor to understand telling your partner you're thinking of the roman empire any amount. Amazing stuff.

3:58 what you can do is find that exact frame, take a screenshot and invert the colors. Put the inverted picture on the screen untill the burn in is not noticable. This will technically make the screen dimmer and probably has some other asterisks associated with it but the solution is free compared to a whole new television

2:08 I can tell you what he did, driving with his seatbelt plugged in. It’s from a season 5 short meant to show what it’s like to drive with and without boat smarts. Squidward, the one with boat smarts, got maimed while SpongeBob was fine.

Fun fact, canonically, Humans once married Pokémon and it was a normal thing in the past. This is an actual thing one of the NPCs in one of the games said. I don’t remember which game but you can look it up

18:23 They cannot stop you from re-using anything above the supergulp. I have an original 'big gulp' container somewhere that holds 100oz of beverage, 7/11 was insane back in the day lol

okay the tv with schlatts face burned into? if i was schlatt i would buy that tv because: 1. he has that kind of money 2. the idea of owning a tv with my face permanently burned into is fucking hilarious, especially because i dont watch tv so it would only serve the purpose to disturbe people comming to my house and expecting to get to watch tv

5:40 She better run before Hera strikes her down 💀

10:20 I believe this immediately because MY mom would get the police to do this just to make sure I know that doing that shit won't go unpunished.

0:40 it's the way the shadow drops on the leg. if you look at the very start of the leg, it's illum!inated, then there's an abrupt shadow. this plus the leg being partially hidden makes it look like it's more bent than it is. thus we read this part as the upper leg and knee, which shouldn't be this short

9:18 their was a guy in one game that was in jail, his lines are "C'mon man... if you had a gardevoir like mine... You'de of done it too!" Show in that would it is ileagel, and pokemon are like dogs and cats to us and it is illegal to do it with them. So their would be that persentage in jailso that reason.

To give a bit of light on the man who crab walked up a prison wall and through barbed wire... it's real. It happened recently here in PA, there's even video footage

10:35 - First, it can be seen as harassment. Which is a charge. And second, it is illegal. States have laws against it.

15:15 You're actually correct. Viktor, The Ankara Watermelon seller, was the son of Galina Rodionovna Zhelnerovich. Lukashenko and Galina gave birth to Viktor and Dimitri, who also looks like a Watermelon Seller. But Nikolai, The Soviet Propaganda Poster boy, "doesn't have a mother". Lukashenko never told the public who was his mother and nobody knew exactly who would that be.

The thing he said about “AI” which is like yeah, it’s actually “VI” (virtual intelligence) It has no knowledge of its own, it can not reflect on the morality of decisions. It’s a robot doing what it was made to do, not what it wants to do. Obviously there’s more to it but yeah not making the distinction kinda irks me a bit 😂😅

3:41 so they just left for their holidays without making sure all their electronics were off?

I learned the hard way about raking leaves. If you let them stay, they’ll start to ferment under the snow. Then when it warms up and the snow melts, not only is your yard sticky and messy, it also smells like sewage.

the day restaurant’s start making people scan QR code’s just to get the menu is the day i no longer eat out period

really hard to believe 10:41 got sent to the police station over prank calls.. my friend broke a girls nose in a fight and still only got suspended for a week.

5:18 ~ That blew my mind as well. I took art all 4 years in high school and still continue to make art to this day and never knew that until like 5-10 years ago. Dali too! He died in 1989! Like, wtf?!?!

5:30 it's wild to me anyone would place PIcasso in the same era as Leonardo Da Vinci. that would actually place him in range to be a character in one of Shakespear's historical plays.

6:11 No not his love, his dedication, it was about flexing with his stamina, hope it worked.

You just mow the leaves. They are free fertilizer. The fact that some people remove the free fertilizer, and then buy more to add, hurts my soul. The only work ever done to my lawn is mowing, and it looks better than 80% of the lawns I see.

19:20 - Oppenheimer wasn't actually referencing himself, he was quoting Bhagavad Gita, specifically the point where Krishna explains why it is OK for a warrior to kill his enemies in spite of the whole matter of the dharmic law. He's basically saying, "this was a shitty thing to do but I had to do it".

2:23 Didn’t they already do that when movie studios were tricked into releasing Morbius in theaters a second time?

In the Pokemon universe they literally have interspecies relationships, and humans are said to be related to them in some fashion according to the lore. It is absolutely ethical to fuck Pokemon, especially considering that if one didn't want you to, it would likely kill you/fight you off with little effort. Fun fact: in the game X/Y there is an NPC in Lumiose City that talks about a Beauty and the Beast-like movie about a woman who falls in love with a Pokemon, and in Colosseum there is an old woman who calls her Mightyena her boyfriend.

6:50 *Fact.* We must stop calling it that, AI should be more independent after the creators have made it.

3:46, jschlatt watermark

10:33 They would totally have done that up into the late 1980s. So it really depends on how old the guy is. Also, they wouldn't have cared about naughty words or racial slurs, tying up the phone lines and embarrassing "upstanding business owners" would be what they'd have a problem with back then.

11:23 me, a white woman who writes like a 4th grader: uhh

7:20 "convicted killer crab-walked"

3:34 I remember an AITA post where someone tried this, but one of the friends showed up as the corpse bride and she was absolutely furious that the friend wore white at her wedding

13:30 Well, at least some companies still have mercy when it comes to "smart" TVs. Recently read a review/comparison of several TVs, and I think Sony gave you the choice on initial setup to turn the android-based system into a mode that comes pretty close to an old-style "dumb" TV. No apps, no internet features, no ads, just TV and whatever you feed into it. And the whole "smart" features of newer TVs were one reason why I picked an Android-based one, because even if Google/the manufacturer ad(d)s something you don't like, you can replace 90% of it with custom apps or a different launcher.

17:34 i thought it was bank questions lmfaooo

7:50 you're supposed to pick up your leaves and grass clippings so that way none of those nutrients go back into the ground and you have to buy chemical fertilizer from some giant corporation.

11:30 I swear on my life that ain't my handwriting. Mine is much, much, worse.

Adding to your beautiful comment on lawns being boring and needing more, I've always wanted to try a pure moss lawn. Imagine how fekkin good that would feel to walk on barefoot. Moss is so soft. That or do the opposite and plant nothing but razor grass, to surprise neighbors to stay off the lawn. Either way, it has its perks

6:03 lyric analysis time, the guy who walked 1,000 miles didn’t do it because he had no other way, or was saying he’d do it if he had to, he was saying he’d walk 1,000 miles JUST so he could be the man who walked 1,000 miles to see his partner. “I would walk 500 miles and I would walk 500 more just to be the man who walked 1,000 miles to fall down at your door” so the assessment of it showing his love was spot on. Who would want to actually walk 1,000 miles with only one break??

More TVs need screensavers.💯

8:52 "There's no rules against the Pokémon, Batman"

Squidward was following the laws of the road, but SpongeBob did something that made Squidward fly into that device

9:34 it's areference to the meme/trope where women think men always think about other girls (cheating basically) and they turned that stupid narrative on its head. Basically unwholesome turned wholesome(?)

9:00 incorrect, robin. Pokemon are treated as animals. There is even an easter egg in a pokemon game of a man who's in jail and when spoken to, says something like "If you had a gardevoir like mine, you'd've done it too" Also i'm Fairly sure pokemon, even humanoid, aren't actually _that_ intelligent Edit: ah, i've been a fool! A fool! It's a fangame! Not a real Game! What a fool i am!

16:51 My dad’s only complaint was we were so effing loud 😆

I think the reason isn't cause of some band that was hot for a second. I think it's simply because people actually say that they laughed their ass off in real life, whereas I've never heard anyone say they were rolling on the floor laughing.

20:16 EmKay, when did you last feed Robin?? you have to feed Robin

At 18:25 I did the math some ten years back, so I don't remember the specifics, but the amount of diet soda you'd have to drink before you hit the levels of aspartame that could likely lead to cancer was something like 50 liters a day, over the course of your life. But because the tests were done on mice, the reader saw something like "mice were given 10 mg of aspartame, and got cancer.". They then didn't think one more step and concluded that 10 mg would be just as bad for people, and then spread the core info of "Mice given aspartame got cancer". People then didn't read into it, and the info spread. And then to take it a step further, there's the fact that mice get cancer often, and while there was an increase in rates of cancer, because the average person doesn't know the average cancer rates in mice (because, why SHOULD they know that?), people looked up pictures of mice from the studies and were shocked. It's like the whole "Apple seeds have cyanide in them". Except the debunking of apple seeds caught on, and aspartame levels did not. So yeah, while aspartame does lead to cancer, for the average person, the problems are not as bad as most people now think.

A perfect segue for the new merch would’ve been “speaking of promotions, it time for me to promote the merch!!”

2:57 They do understand eachother perfectly. The dad wants pictures of boats. The son wants words of affirmation.

13:10 my 10 year old TV is about to lose Netflix support. Guess it's time to quit Netflix, cause I sure won't buy a new TV.

5:05 guess he didnt know the fog was coming

10:30 They must've went to the same school. When I was in middle school, in 7th grade, this kid ditch morning detention. They had a cop on the school ground. I kid you not they called that cop, the kid ran, I heard him getting slammed on the ground, heard handcuffs, and the cop drags him out. Never seen him again.

actually, there was a kid who kept prank calling us at work every day for months. He kept calling to order inappropriate things to be put onto a pizza. It got bad enough that we did contact law enforcement, and we didnt get calls ever since. I can only imagine that the police at the very least found the kid and had a talk. I could totally imagine them taking a kid to the station in a rural area

Before I ask the super important question I just want to say: I associate Picasso with the 70s. I keep getting surprised most of his work was in the 30s. Anyway: How and Why do you not think about Rome at fairly constant bases? Really, I want to know. It perplexes me. Please tell me. Anyway here is the old version of this comment that I am too lazy/tired to change. It’s currently like ten past midnight and I need to get up at 07:30: Oh, I guarantee you've thought about the Roman Empire. Maybe not majorly, because apparently some weirdo people don't do that. How, I don't know. Do they not know any fun Roman facts? Do they not live somewhere with a large roman presence? Do you not use Rome as an example for what works and what doesn't (especially politics, society, institutions, etcetera). Do you not draw any kind of associations with Rome at all? Anyway, even if you don't do any such things you are still thinking about Rome. Sewers? Rome. Whoopie cushion? Rome. Catholic, Protestant, Orthodox or many other forms of Christianity? Spread by Rome. Counties and people like France? Rome. (Of course you think of Rome when you think of Italy, that is expected.) In especially the west, but also elsewhere around the world, Rome is built into the very fabric of our society. Rome was so successful, both being large, culturally prevalent in the areas they conquered and lasting for so long (about 1000 years, to 2000 years, to still existing). It is impossible to not think of Rome. You are using the Alphabet used by Rome right now! You cannot NOT think of Rome! The real question is: Why are you all so surprised? If you're not thinking about Rome, what are you thinking about? What education were you lacking to make it so you DON'T think about Rome? HOW DO YOU FREAKS NOT THINK ABOUT THE GLORIOUS, MONSTROUS, TERRIBLE, AND GREAT ROME, WHETHER KINGDOM, REPUBLIC, EMPIRE, EASTERN EMPIRE OR MANY OTHER DESCENDANT STATES? I DO NOT UNDERSTAND! Well anyway. If anyone wants to actually get to know Rome, just ask. I have several recommendations and fun facts, like the channel Historia Civilis. Where I learned about the Ravens and Lupercalia, among other things. I would love to have a conversation on the topic of Rome. Do keep in mind that I’m just a fairly regular dude with an interest in history at large. I may have slightly more experience with the Classical and Mediaeval era, but I’m still just a dude who doesn’t know everything. But Please, Just ask away! And don’t forget to tell me How and Why you don’t think about Rome on a fairly regular basis. If you are such a person that is. I’m still incredibly interested!

15:18 To clarify, they both have different mothers. Viktor (watermelon seller in Ankara) is the son of Lukashenko & his current wife while Nikolai's (Soviet propaganda poster guy) birth mother is unknown to the public.

0:02 what’s in the picture all I see is the bear

"Why does everyone have the same handwriting" Robin, mate, there are literal books that children fill out when learning to write that make them trace the letters over and over, and more than a few million people that can write in English. How many different ways do you think people are gonna be able to change those practiced shapes? There has to be a few thousand people who share this lady's handwriting, at minimum. ...that being said, unlike the lady in the example, I learned to write my lowercase k's with a loop instead of the top right line, so. guess I'm not one of those few thousand lmao

7:46 in middle school the kids on my street had a tradition where we would rake everyone’s leaves on the street (provided the homeowners had given us permission) and scoop them into empty recycling bins to make a GIANT leaf pile in one girl’s front yard Then on Halloween we’d all gather together and jump into our truck-or-treat leaf pile

I've lived my house for ten years and never raked the leaves out of the yard. Never had a problem with the grass.

6:19 I think you missed the entire plot about babies have a secret language that adults can't understand. It might sound like regular old English to them, but to anyone else they try to communicate with, it's just coos and babbling

I never expected to hear a baby geniuses reference, I expected that movie to be a random movie I watched on Netflix and never think of it again.

I'm from the UK but I also have the same thoughts on Lawns or Gardens as we call them here. Why do people just keep a plain square of grass and that's all? They rake and mow the square to keep it neat and tidy? I have flowers, wild flowers, and even a small vegetable patch in my back garden, but so many people just have *plain square of grass*.

I asked my bf how often he thinks of the Roman empire . "Every time it falls." Me:"the Roman empire or when anything falls?" "Yes. Fucking Byzantines."

10:25 - They absolutely will do this. It's a broken windows type idea. Nip problem behavior in the bud. Happened to my friend and I lol Coo showed up at our house because we were making prank calls. (1990's) Guess what, we never did it again lol Edit: never mind I am an idiot and didn't read it carefully enough. No I don't believe that, I don't believe they actually escorted him to the police station. Although I do think they would have done it on the mom's request.

Oh my, Sony heard your guys 😂 I got an ad for Sony earbuds with a very intuitive name at 16:00 lmao

9:47 welp, you're trans. you're not a man if you don't think about the roman empire at least twice a week. I don't make the rules

I hate raking leaves bcuz of my old job. We had plenty to do at any time (it was a home for disabled ppl) but in the fall we had to rake the backyard for hours. None of the residents had any visitors or hung out in the backyard. So like so many things at that job it was a complete waste of time that slowed us down from our other tasks and took eyes off the clients.

11:48 About that... Russians use "rofl" pretty often...

13:36 we have 2 TV's at home, neither is smart, one of them is older then me, and other one is 2 years younger.

i do think about the roman empire from time to time, but mainly because some of their technology almost resembles ours in function in a lot of ways, and they did this long ago

tfw Emkay doesn’t know that prank calling is a misdemeanor in most states

3:44 schlatt is now forever haunting your tv the only way to get schlatt to go is if you put a schlankett over the tv and play weezer on full volume

10:38 there was a literal Supreme Court case about an elementary school kid who prank called someone once.

If someone behind EmKay sees this: the last video (the r/entitledparents one) is a re-upload. Please fix it.

About the founder of whipped cream, I looked it up because it sounded so crazy, and there is some important context missing. The late fish was catering for a party he was hosting; a party with over 2000 guest that included the King of France; the king was Louis XIV. So he botched a massive party for the most powerful person in Europe and decided he would rather die then deal with the consequences.
