What started out as two bros just helping each other with their reps turns into a testicular ambush when one guy mishandles an exercise band. While this video might excite anyone with a sadistic or man-hating streak, we're willing to bet it will be a serious reminder to be careful at the gym. And maybe a convincing argument for wearing a jock strap.
Wait...what? Did we really read that correctly?
Gizmodo has reported that teens on the popular TikTok app, are now dipping their "jewels" in soy sauce.
We don't really know where to begin on this one. Apparently, someone took a report from 2013, on a study that discovered not only the mouth is able to have taste receptors that are sensitive, but several parts of the body including the stomach, lungs, brain, and testicles are all sensitive to umami. Umami, the Business Insider defines it as "the amino acid taste of soy sauce."
So, there you have it. People are dipping their testicles into soy sauce to test out their taste receptors down there.
If by some reason you're compelled to look into these #soysaucechallenge... here you go.
Is it just us or are these viral challenges just getting more bizarre and icky?
After the Animal Cubes series and its strange geometric animals, here is Aniball, a new amusing project created by the Indonesian photographer, Aditya Aryanto.
When evaluating the cinema, one must rid themselves of the director's intent. The intentional falacy is the theory that, ultimately, when an artist releases their work into the world, their intention is no longer open for consideration. The work now belongs to the audience.
As for the video "Skateboard Teeter Totter Nutshot," one must keep the ideas brought forth by literary theorists W.K. Wimsatt, Jr. and Monroe C. Beardsley close at hand. The viewer cannot judge the actions of the participants with the director's ideas in mind. To create a fully-formed opinion of why a skateboarder would jump off a latter onto crudely made teeter totter above which a large man stood one must ignore the author's original intention. For instance, why put a fluroescnet light bulb on the teeter totter so when the wood came into contact with the large man's groin, the bulb would explode? These are questions you must answer.
But if we had to guess, the director probably thought this would be funny. They're assumptions were correct.
