this is by far the best DM I've ever gotten

extend the distance out a few miles and the human wins btw

one of the most underrated perks of being warm-blooded is that you can spend your entire life surrounded in a cloud of potentially deadly fungal spores and not even realize it because fungi can't grow at body-temperature

Do you guys think gorillas are literally like King Kong sized or what

You almost certainly could

I hate how common these engagement-farming posts have become on this platform.

arguing that a tiktok ban is contrary to free speech is hilarious given that this is the same app that taught gen z to be too afraid to say the word "killed" or "died"

It really is biology! The main issue is overheating. Animals do not have as efficient of heat exchange as humans. Hairlessness+sweating allows us to cool down while moving. Just about every other animal needs to stop and pant in order to cool down. Sled dogs are the only animal capable of outrunning a human, and they can only do so in very cold environments otherwise they'd overheat too.

y'know I've tried and failed several times to plan some elaborate face reveal but I think I'ma just rip the bandage off and casually have a facecam on stream from now on

I mean part of the reason you don't see this scale in video games is that after about 30 seconds the novelty fades and you realize it's not fun actually walking ten miles to get to the objective

I have an update! My video (and all of the viral tweets surrounding it) made me a whopping forty dollars! For five million views, this is an abysmal rate. On YouTube I'd have probably made one hundred times that amount. Still, in the interest of transparency, it's more than $0.

Only a tiny percentage of YouTubers have access to the ability to claim/rev share with reaction channels on YouTube. You need to be part of an MCN to have access to it, and most YouTubers these days wouldn't touch an MCN with a ten-foot pole.

are we all gonna do that thing again where we push our other social media and pretend we won't be here next week

this video's failure was one of the biggest gut punches of my career; really thought I was cooking with this one

Ok, since my first hot take seems to actually be not very controversial at all anymore, let me drop a spicier one. There have been a lot of new platform fighters coming out lately and almost all of them have been trying WAY too hard to appeal to the hyper-competitive early-onset arthritis junkies that are still grinding Super Smash Bros Melee two decades past the game's prime. STOP PUTTING WAVEDASHING IN YOUR INDIE PLATFORM FIGHTERS. It is an obnoxious mechanic that looks completely nonsensical to spectators. Your characters neutral game should not rely on magically ice-skating in and out of attack range. It looks stupid and Sakurai was absolutely right to take it out. Same goes for adding frame 1 hitbox moves meant to replicate the appeal of Melee Fox/Falco's Shine. Just stop it, it's not as cool as you think it is. Make a stable, polished platform fighter that casuals can enjoy first and foremost. Competitive players will always find the unintended exploits they can use to cancel endlag, feint and bait out defensive options for free, and break intended mechanics anyway. If you build additional ones in deliberately, you'll end up with twice as many.

this just happened to me what do i do

OK FINE YOU GUYS WIN, I MADE THE VIDEO

Please enjoy this clip of my completely honest and calculated Elite Hero play

oh crap

Are Scorpions OP? In order to test Mr. Beast's hypothesis that his ad revenue is a facade, I am uploading my first full-length video on this platform! It is a reupload of my most popular video of the past two years. Please enjoy, while I see if the money is really there.

Why does everything do double damage

To be clear, part of the reason for this is that I am not a member of the secret, invite-only creator program which enables preroll advertisements. As far as I know, you gotta know a guy in order to gain access to that, so this experiment was kinda pointless.

Yeah it kills healthy cells too, this headline is garbage

meanwhile on youtube a billion views would be about five million dollars lol

Genuinely considering rushing out a video about the 100 humans vs 1 gorilla debate. My videos take a lot of time to make though, and seeing how quickly the Europa Ice War thing faded is not giving me a lot of confidence it'll be worth the effort.

wasp utterly failing to mess with this absolute unit of a beetle

I'm still in disbelief... I really actually won!?!

This one time when I was working at Jack Links Beef Jerky, I figured out a pretty massive production issue just because I remembered that old chemistry class adage "do as you oughta, add acid to water". To make their meat pickling brine for their sausage sticks, they'd been adding water to concentrated vinegar. They didn't know why this was causing it to bubble and interrupting the process. I told them to switch the order and boom, no more bubbles!

In fairness I am also surprised I've made it this far. I still have fun making the videos though, so unfortunately there is still more to come!

Not me though! Still a one man operation!

chris rock be like wait why do I hear boss music

Finally got @TierZoo as my twitter handle. @TheTierZoo is no more.

yoooo finally got this rare drop

Gorillas have actually never been observed using melee weapons other than their arms/teeth

A few years ago, 8% of dudes thought they could literally SOLO a gorilla. Now half of the internet is convinced not even 100 guys could do it?

Lol they blocked me

the best to ever do it

If you die to rabies that is a skill issue, you have like a week minimum to react and get the prophylactic vax unless it literally bites you in the brain

The fact that a reply like this can still be seen despite obviously being negative towards Musk's leadership is an indicator of healthy discourse. But discoverability is the lifeblood of the platform and its removal will be fatal to Twitter. The platform has 3 weeks left to live.

Thank you so much 💙

It's legitimately difficult to overstate how OP the human's throwing ability is.

if IRL objects had unnecessarily solemn Dark Souls Item Descriptions, part 2

sometimes I feel like I am too bashful about self-promoting the things I made

Youtube creators: Youtube:

Oops

Invincible is a great example of how you can completely derail your IP's own hype train, stealth launch new content, and still have it absolutely crush based on merit alone

Someone with a shred of critical thinking skills?

This really makes me wonder how much research is already complete and readily available but has just been read by zero people who actually cared about it.

I kinda assumed their TOS lays claim to my firstborn or something but that's a problem for future me

no❤️

First individual video of mine to ever reach an eight digit view count! Woohoo!

The American Black Bear is roughly the same size as a gorilla, yet for some reason people dramatically overestimate their chances against black bears and underestimate their chances against a gorilla. Black bears are arguably the more dangerous of the two as well.

One of the most anticipated games of all time and it got only a five second montage mention 😂

I doubt it. If it ever got that warm we'd probably have bigger problems

This meme just refuses to die

Coywolves are very dangerous, well-adapted to city life, and becoming more common.

this dumb 2 minute video I threw together in a few days is on track to be my most viewed video of the past 3 years lol

"chemo does the same" CHEMO KILLS LIKE A THOUSAND CANCER CELLS PER HELATHY CELL, IT IS NOT THE SAME

It's hilarious that DnD really thinks people won't just immediately jump ship to another tabletop RPG if DnD starts screwing with people. They act as if they own the concept of tabletop RPGs and twenty sided dice.

only in freezing conditions, otherwise they will overheat too.

I just got back from a Magic the Gathering tournament and I gotta tell y'all about it because one of my matches was the most obnoxious experience of my entire MTG career. TL;DR: my opponent berated me and demanded that I concede one of the games in order to save time. Anyway, here's the long version: Some context: this was a draft tournament, where you don't bring any of your own cards. You are given packs to open and take turns passing the packs between players and choosing cards from them to add to your deck. We were playing with the newest set "Wilds of Eldraine", a fairy tale themed set with an unusually high number of complicated new mechanics. I'd never drafted this set before, so even though I'm an experienced Magic player, these specific cards were all new to me. I went with a fairly unusual draft strategy. Most players play a two-color deck. Sometimes people will play a three color deck, though this is a pretty inconsistent strategy. Very rarely will anyone play a mono-colored deck, but that's what I did tonight. I noticed that I was being passed a lot of high quality red cards, and so I opted to try and build a mono-red aggro deck. Basically, I played a bunch of cheap creatures, plus some spells that would summon a lot of rat token creatures. I'd then usually win by playing a spell that granted a power boost to my entire board, and attacking for game before they had a chance to mount a defense. This ended up actually being pretty decent. I won against my round 1 opponent quite decisively. Round 2 is where things went off the rails. My next opponent was short with me right from the get-go. He played a blue-white control strategy, which aims to play defensively and draw a lot of cards before eventually winning with high-power lategame cards. He was clearly very experienced playing this set, and would play his cards very quickly without explaining what he was doing. Since I'd not seen many of these cards before, I had to frequently stop him to ask what his cards did. He wouldn't even explain his cards to me, he'd just turn them around and had me read them. Despite all that, I still won game 1 (MTG tournament matches are best two out of three) against him. This was extra surprising because he got to go first, and going second puts aggressive decks at a significant disadvantage. The second game, things did not go as well for me. He was able to fend off my early attackers and stabilize. With him playing a lot of cards which allowed him to draw more cards, he quickly build up a significant card advantage against me. All the while, he's continuing to play really fast and refuse to explain any of his moves. I was also taking a bit of time to think over my turns and couldn't play anywhere near as quickly as he could, which irritated him because, according to him, red aggro decks don't really require much thought in order to play. So he then began rushing me, frequently reminding me how much time was remaining in the round, telling me to speed up, and explaining that his deck was still several turns away from actually winning despite the fact that he was in an extremely advantageous position. We still had roughly half of the time in the match remaining, so we weren't even really behind. The first game had ended quite quickly, so to get so fussy when things were still reasonable on track to finish before time was up is just silly. **Eventually, he told me he wanted me to concede game two go to game 3 because he "had me beat" despite having no clear path to victory yet.** He could stop me from playing cards, but needed to draw a lot more cards in order to find the cards that he could actually knock my life to zero with. At first I thought he was kidding, because I didn't think you could actually demand your opponent scoop just because you think you've got the game locked. I told him absolutely not, but he kept asking and reminding me of the time. Eventually I said "well prove it, if you want me to concede show me your hand and tell me how you're gonna beat me" to which he responded by showing me a hand full of counterspells and telling me "You're not going to resolve a single spell for the rest of the game!" He wasn't wrong, he had me beat since he could easily counter one spell per turn. However, he was at a very low life total so there was always a chance of a misplay or a lucky draw. At this point, I was pissed off though. I'd never been spoken to by an opponent this way at a tournament before. So I opted to cast a modular spell (one where you can pay a variable amount of mana to increase the power of the spell) and before I'd even finished saying the name of the card, he shouted "counter" in my face. Having just used up all of his mana on a counterspell, I proceeded to cast another creature from my hand. He responded "what? no, you can't! You used all of your mana on that first card!" to which I said "no, I cast it for x=0". (For those who don't play MTG, if you're still reading, casting a modular spell for X=0 is a nonsensical play. The only way it makes sense is if you know your opponent is on tilt and is committed to countering everything you do before they even processed what card you're playing.) So anyway, he throws a fit and accuses me of trying to cheat, so finally I just say "whatever, lets just go to game 3" and conceded game 2. Because I lost the second game, I got to make the first move in game 3. Getting to go first when you're playing an aggressive deck is a huge advantage, so I very quickly overwhelmed his defenses and ran him over, winning the match. Hold that L, bozo. He made a few more passive aggressive remarks about how easy my deck was to play and how it shouldn't have taken me so much time to play my cards. Eventually we both apologized to each other for getting so heated, and I got up to go play my next match. That's the story. Magic players, what do you think? Do you think it's ever appropriate to demand that your opponent concede, just because you have a hand full of counterspells while the opponent is running low on cards? My hot take: If you are going to build a draft deck that relies on slow, grindy games where you win through sheer card advantage, you need to accept that running out of time in your match is a significant risk. Especially in an FNM setting (which, for those who don't know, is the lowest level of tournament and meant to be a very casual, forgiving atmosphere) it's ridiculous to start getting upset with your opponent over time pressure unless they are seriously drawing out their turns over several minutes. HOWEVER, I do somewhat sympathize with control players in that this latest MTG set, Wilds of Eldraine, is obnoxiously overcomplicated. My first match of the tournament actually did end up going into overtime and I barely won before the extra turn rule would have forced a draw. Between the text-bloated adventure creature cards and the half-dozen different "role" enchantment tokens players need to remember, this set kind of makes it inevitable that tournament matches will end in a draw due to time. There's just too much to read. But speaking of too much to read, I think this post has gone on long enough. Thanks for reading.

THE BIG TWO MIL THANK YOU ALL SO MUCH!

love to see it

Wow, just had a video of mine streamed to 50k live viewers! Such a blessing to get to watch audiences laugh along in real time. Big thanks to Maya and Adapt for featuring my bird tier list.

bro at this rate he might actually change the name back to twitter

Sled dogs are a good example of an animal being pushed to its limit, as are domestic horses and camels, but yes generally most animals are already on a knife's edge in their native ecosystems, and can't afford to not give it their all in their fight to survive. Thermodynamics isn't something you can overcome via training IMO. I could be wrong though! Not sure it's something that has ever really been put to the test, especially with the human intellect factor. Human intelligence is a costly thing in and of itself though. If you slap that on another animal, it will burn calories more quickly than it is normally used to consuming them and might not even be able to digest food fast enough to not expire! Depends on the animal.

A simple +5 to cold resistance might not seem like a lot, but we've all seen how crazy a game's modding community can get once it starts going

So relieved that you pulled through, man. So sorry for your immense loss, and I pray your healing process goes well.

Imagine thinking the animal tier list could be fit into a single tweet, and then also getting it this wrong

Every single video I released this year made it onto Trending! Don't ask me how or why, because I do not know.

My fiancée made me a lovely gamer charcuterie board to celebrate a successful video release ❤️👌🎮

This is one of the most frustrating parts of making any sort of digital art in 2025. The better you get, the more you get accused of not being legit.

Community notes contributors have apparently never heard the phrase "exception that proves the rule". Is it really worth labeling something that's 99.999% correct as misinformation?

There are technically also bacteria that can grow at freezing temperatures, but if someone said "one of the main advantages of owning a freezer is that bacteria can't grow on your food and cause it to rot" that would still be a correct statement

I think people really underestimate how small things are in games compared to real life. Walking ten miles takes around 3 hours. For comparison, walking across the entirety of BotW Hyrule takes less than one hour, even without sprinting.

only another 7 million subs til I unlock the gold skin

The Insect Tier List is finally here, I hope you like it! This is the biggest project I've ever done on YouTube!

Hey, any other creators seeing this? Most of my old videos have had their earnings drop to zero, despite still showing ads and not being demonetized/copyright claimed. This resulted in a ~70% drop in revenue the past few days, even though views have remained pretty consistent.

Guess I am not officially TierZoo anymore

Frogs are low tier fam

btw I'll be streaming this afternoon as part of JaidenAnimations's subathon

I am skeptical as to whether or not the crab is genuinely preventing the gator from opening its mouth. Obviously if it really needed to, it could just shake the crab off. It's a really awesome photo though.

Among Us is better at bringing youtubers together than VidCon is lol

I'm nowhere near as famous as MrBeast, and so this test should be more representative of what a regular YouTuber could expect with no bonus media attention driving up ad rates.

Update: I was extremely wrong with this. My videos are not getting barraged by bots. Instead, my videos seem to be hitting a bit of a stride in South Asian countries like India, Pakistan, and Vietnam! That's where almost all of the new views have been coming from.
