These are a few of my favorite things ♪

I won't attempt to turn the rest of this into a song, but here are some things I like.

Youtube videos and series

I have spent a significant portion of my life watching videos on YouTube dot com. I regret some of it, but I've amassed some favorites, too:

The Onion News Network's videos from 2007-2012 are peak comedy. Freelance writer Evan Porter summarized his experience writing for ONN during this era here. ONN technically returned in 2024, and I'm happy about that, but at the time of writing they have yet to hit the heights they hit in their peak years.
Youtube Poops (YTPs). If you're unfamiliar, YTP is a craft in which people cut up existing videos and restructure them into new ones that are meant to convey something new, usually to entertain the viewer. In some sense, it's like digital graffiti. Check out these ones if you want a starting point:
- DaThings's "The Price is Rice" series.
- KroboProductions's "The Fesh Pince of Blair" series.
  - Caution: before Krobo went by Krobo, he went by a screenname that looks like (homophobic slur)(antisemetic slur), and this name is unfortunately visible in the first video of the series. That said, he no longer goes by that name, and the original Fesh Pince is still such a remarkable YTP that I still recommend viewing it.
- SPIGOTTAN's "ytp sexer". This one is layered: on first blush it just looks like a nonsensical recut of Toy Story, but it's actually a nonsensical recut of another YTP, WaTruqDat's "Dying With Style".
