I've never seen one of these in person, but there's something fascinating yet creepy about the way these look and work.

Yeah, I was subscribed to hard2hurt for a hot minute a couple of years back. He's good for a bit of fun, and a laugh. But definitely not someone you should take seriously.

If that was me, I would not be sticking my hand (and the phone in his hand) anywhere near a live 11,000 volt transformer.

And these predate the old selenium rectifiers (which I remember from taking apart old tube TVs).

The history and daily maintenance of London's clock tower a.k.a. Big Ben:

 

[Chauncey Gardiner]

👆That was amazing. Thanks for sharing it. 👍👍

 

[Monocrom]

Was amazed decades ago to learn that Big Ben's time is regulated thanks to a stack of very old British coins. Depending on the season, they either add or subtract coins from the small stack for proper time-keeping.

If you liked the Big Ben documentary, you might like this one as well.

These guys normally film abandoned buildings and facilities...but this one's different. They originally went there to film the steam engine, but came back with a whole lot more.

Seems like it would cause more accidents because of people being distracted looking at it.

MUCH more interesting than any of the stuff I've heard about his so called prophesies all my life!

Here is one with entertaining elements AND retains credibility. Video is 5 minutes 30 seconds.

Humans and the institutions they build: Either it's about making money/security, or money and power.

She just confirmed that conspiracy theorists can spot patterns better than other people. With all the conspiracies that have been proven true, she's not really helping her portrayal. She picked the really wacky conspiracy theories like flat earth and aliens. (I didn't see any references to the JFK assasination.) Why did the govt. re-classify the JFK files? I guess it's my "confirmation bias" at work. LOL

So wishing people in charge were intelligent enough to actually do a conspiracy.

There are so many reporters and others who would love to expose conspiracies these days...

But you got to have proof, otherwise the 'I just know it is a conspiracy' is in the realm of politics.

You have to think how an astronomer that is looking for a black hole thinks. You see a certain behavior by heavenly bodies and light, and you can determine that there is a black hole causing it, without actually seeing the black hole. Same thing with detecting conspiracies. You see certain behaviors of people, and without knowing you can logically determine that there is a conspiracy causing the behavior. I could give you examples of behavior, but I don't want to get into a political argument.
