Vsauce, I’m Jake and...I’m sorry...were you about to press the thumbs down button?
How Could You Do This To dot Us.
Ya know, it’s fine sometimes you lean towards the dark side so I’ll use this star wars
opening crawl generator to express my feelings while we check out some more DONGS...things
you can Do Online Now, Guys.
Why am I doing this you ask?
Well, if you go to the address bar and add GIF before YouTube, you can make a GIF out
of any YouTube video.
Type in the starting time, set the length and boom, you just GIF’d YouTube.
Look how excited I am about it.
They also loop which is great but let’s get loop crazy with Super Looper, a really
awesome music creation tool where you choose the tempo, get the click track going and then
use the keyboard to trigger to different sounds and instruments to create something like this…
I believe the name of that song is Sandstorm...instantsandstorm dot com.
Instead of playing music, play with music in Awe.
Awe is a rhythm and color matching game where you have to figure out different sequences
- populating the planet with nature.
To really stretch your memory try Recursi, a fractal memory puzzle game.
It’s like the inception of memory games and it is pretty difficult.
Test to make sure you brain isn’t broken by trying this reaction timer.
Gah, that was pretty slow...guess I’ll go cry my IP….which is exactly what it sounds
like.
Dry your eyes and go explore the sights and sounds of the world with Sounds of Street
View.
Sounds of street view lets you visit France, California and Hawaii - not only navigating
them via Google Street view but also hearing the locations.
The noises change depending on what direction you move and the actions happening around
you.
After checking out those 3 locations, check out the globe with some geographic data visualization.
There are a bunch to look at like meteorite landings or world elevation.
You can even create one using your own data sets.
For a different look at the world, check out plane finder to see all of the commercial
airliners that are flying through the sky.
But what about tracking a craft that is flying through space?
Specifically a spacecraft for all.
This interactive documentary chronicles the ISEE-3 (the international sun earth explorer)
which was launched in 1978, decommissioned in 1997 and then an independent group of scientists
contacted and gained control of it in 2014.
It is a really great technological feat but not as shocking as an interactive site about
one of the greatest inventors, Nikola Tesla.
Thanks to Tesla’s advances in electricity we can have musical compositions that play
for 1000 years.
Long Player begun broadcasting December 31st, 1999 and will end, without ever repeating,
on December 31st 2999.
Let’s keep this info train going by learning about Real Heroines, a website dedicated to
the incredible women that influenced the world like Sally Ride, the first female american
in space.
Now whatever you do don’t click the screen.
Did you click it?
Oh what the HEX...shifter.
Where you individually mix the different hexadecimal values to create that perfect shade.
Lovely.
Since we are just clicking everything now, try Gridland by the dude who made the excellent
A Dark Room.
Gridland is a fast paced match 3 game that is pretty darn awesome.
Collect, build, match, and fight off villains for as long as you can.
Keep that frenetic speed going with oO where you jump from circle to circle but only at
the points where they are touching.
Then grab a friend and play Narcissus - one player controls the character up top, and
the other the one below.
Or if you don’t have a friend be like me and man both controls because you need only
1x60 dot com.
That was a lot of ones, but don’t quote me on that instead use Quotacle, a search
engine for finding movie quotes and it also provides you with a handy youtube clip from
the film...that you can then turn into a GIF.
After doing that be sure you find out what’s after the credits?
You wouldn’t want to miss anything, especially links to all the DONGs which can be found
in the description below.
A site I’ve been visiting a lot recently is Chess Academy dot com which is teaching
me the finer points of the game so I can keep my opponents in check and learn to be better
at it.
The fact that there are so many amazing resources on the internet is incredible and we get to
learn all the time...however millions of kids do not.
Vsauce along with a lot of other YouTube creators have teamed up with School of YouTube to help
support the Comic Relief charity in an effort to give disadvantaged kids school supplies
and access to the schools to use them.
$10 dollars gives a child in Zambia an education for a month and a meal every day.
That’s insane...that’s the cost of a Chipotle burrito.
We are all human beings and we all deserve the chance to learn and find out just how
amazing the world is because this is our most powerful tool.
You can donate right now by clicking here or the link in the description to find out
more...and as always, thanks for watching.
