Weird French Educational Cartoon
I looked at one second of that cartoon, and I am already weirded out. Whoever made it must've been on what COSS calls "powder stuff." AnimatorsParadise (talk) 05:08, 2 March 2022 (UTC)
 * I know, it's absolutely bizarre in every way (the first few seconds are just the beginning), and yet it's apparently accurate enough that a French teacher at a school I once attended used it in introductory French (after which it became a school-wide inside joke). I'll never really understand the purpose of that video. --Fictia (talk) 13:14, 2 March 2022 (UTC)

Neither do I. I don't understand how drinking chocolate milk everyday is being like a catfish, and those rainbow and red eyes are a bit terrifying. AnimatorsParadise (talk) 15:33, 2 March 2022 (UTC)
 * Yeah, the lyrics are complete nonsense and that guy is just plain creepy with the changing color eyes. I guess the norm in France is to scare kids with movies --Fictia (talk) 17:41, 2 March 2022 (UTC)

Yeah. Drinking lemon and mushroom juice doesn't relate to Napoleon as far as I know. AnimatorsParadise (talk) 17:44, 2 March 2022 (UTC)
 * Not at all (not to mention it'd taste terrible). Plus the short Napoleon stereotype is used, which is concerning for something at least seemingly from France to show given it was rather false.

Yeah, it is. I think whoever made this drank mushroom juice from wild mushrooms. AnimatorsParadise (talk) 18:07, 2 March 2022 (UTC)
 * Probably lol. I guess we need to convince CoSS to stop giving out that powder so we don't get the equivalent of this ever made in the CCRP world. --Fictia (talk) 18:33, 2 March 2022 (UTC)

Lol, we should. We better keep an eye on the Touleesecois. AnimatorsParadise (talk) 18:37, 2 March 2022 (UTC)
 * I completely forgot about those suspicious Touleesian baguettes until now actually (and since Touleese is the cultural equivalent of France there's no better place to make this monstrosity). We'd better start confiscating Touleesian bread lol. --Fictia (talk) 18:47, 2 March 2022 (UTC)

Yeah. Also, the book at the end is called the "The Yokyok Man", which is another video. I guess whoever made this is trying to make some weird French educational cartoon cinematic universe.
 * Oh yeah, I forgot about that book title (a corruption of that name is what the character and entire video became known as in the school). I didn't realize it was another video though, I'm really concerned if that's just the edge of some weird cinematic universe (which it very well could be).

Lol, I'm going to check out the channel to see what else there is. AnimatorsParadise (talk) 19:03, 2 March 2022 (UTC)
 * I think I might too after I've put in some more infoboxes for the day. I really want to see if there's similar oddness out there now, lol. --Fictia (talk) 19:06, 2 March 2022 (UTC)

Looks like they have a lot of videos, including this one with birds with teeth. I found this one with fruit (half the fruit scaring me, half the fruit being scared that they're in this video), and this one with breakfast. AnimatorsParadise (talk) 19:20, 2 March 2022 (UTC)
 * Wow, those are bizarre, especially the food ones (maybe even more so than the Arc-en-ciel one). Whoever is making these really is strange lol. On a side note, I've banned Touleesian pastries (it's just in the Wiki news for right now) partially because of all this. --Fictia (talk) 19:40, 2 March 2022 (UTC)

Yeah lol, good idea. AnimatorsParadise (talk) 19:53, 2 March 2022 (UTC) Here are some other weird ones: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fWxVnrgu91s https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BTJYPpAIZXo (This one isn't even educational at all, but it has a lot of comments) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z2IrJ0DB0Xg https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kKSWPQgXcY4 AnimatorsParadise (talk) 20:09, 2 March 2022 (UTC)
 * OK then (the hot dog dancing one didn't even make remote sense). These are so concerning I almost want to ban YouTube when that time comes around, lol. --Fictia (talk) 20:47, 2 March 2022 (UTC)

Me too. AnimatorsParadise (talk)

History
What do you find most fascinating about history? --BellatriX (talk) 14:02, 4 March 2022 (UTC)
 * Good question, there's a reason I put "all eras and times" on there. I guess the three things that fascinate me the most are: 1. Israeli history (It's turbulent, but interesting to see things like how tribal factions destroyed a united Israelite kingdom) 2. The Byzantine Empire (particularly how different the world could be if they didn't lose most of their land to the Arabs and Turks, which could have been VERY easily avoided), and 3. European colonialism (It's bizarre how a isolated corner of the world beat out ancient centers like China and India to practically dominate the world, even today, and the huge size and diversity of the British Empire is fascinating by itself). --Fictia (talk) 14:49, 4 March 2022 (UTC)

It is fascinating, isn't it? They went from "the sun never sets on the British Empire," to an island and a quarter that may or may not secede. Yes, history in "all eras and times" is very interesting, and I often read about it in my spare time. --BellatriX (talk) 15:22, 4 March 2022 (UTC)
 * Indeed, it was only about a century ago the British Empire ruled a quarter of the world's land area and the monarch was Emperor/Empress of India, but today we have a few relatively pathetic islands as all that's left. Even with nationalism freeing the old British colonies, the British Empire's fall really is shocking. I do the same, much I read in my spare time (other than school-required novels) is historical records. --Fictia (talk) 15:25, 4 March 2022 (UTC)


 * The fall of the British Empire was almost entirely because of WW2. America forced them to give up most of their colonies, and since they were just saved by America they couldn't decline their request.
 * Definitely, Britain really stood no chance against Germany and the Axis alone for being so "mighty" at the time (but when all you have in Europe is a few frequently air-raided offshore islands there's not much you can do) and Britain was already declining anyways. Then again, the British Empire probably wouldn't exist in any form today if America didn't join. --Fictia (talk) 15:50, 4 March 2022 (UTC)

Makes me wonder what the world would be like if the British "Empire" still existed (now the United Kingdom of Great Britrain and Northern Ireland). --BellatriX (talk) 16:53, 4 March 2022 (UTC)
 * Oh indeed, the world would be a different place if the UK wasn't as weak as they are today (probably the planet would still be mostly colonized). --Fictia (talk) 17:00, 4 March 2022 (UTC)

Yeah, probably. I wonder, especially, what India (including Pakistan and Bangladesh) would be like. --BellatriX (talk) 15:46, 5 March 2022 (UTC)
 * Oh, that would be SO different. The Hindu-Muslim tensions probably never would have been allowed to boil over and the whole subcontinent would be mostly united. They might be even worse off, though, in general. --Fictia (talk) 16:39, 5 March 2022 (UTC)

Most likely, though I get the impression it would be overall more peaceful. --BellatriX (talk) 20:52, 5 March 2022 (UTC)

Hello
I just felt like saying hello

hello --Jadechicken
 * Hello I guess, lol. --Fictia (talk) 17:33, 5 March 2022 (UTC)
