You know how every once in a while, you have a dream where you're supposed to do something in front of a live audience like give a speech except you didn't come prepared whatsoever but you still had to do it anyways and the rest of the dream is just you trying to go through the embarrassing trainwreck as quickly as possible?

She's living that dream.

Edit 1: It has come to my attention that the Aussies were big mad and had used some copyright bullshit to take down the clip.

      I thought this was gonna be some weird carnivore bullshit but

      I went to the movie theater tonight and unknowingly topped off my water bottle with HOT MELTED BUTTER and drank HALF THE WATER BOTTLE

      bro, what?

        literally don't understand how you can do this in ANY movie theater anywhere - I have never been to a movie theater where the butter dispensers aren't:

        A.) literally covered in butter/oil to the point where the dispensers themselves are usually sequestered by themselves because everything will get a thin film of grease on it after the first person uses it.

        B.) obviously a dispenser for some sort of condiment. they ALWAYS have at least 2-3 stray pieces of popcorn and, if you're in a chain theater, guaranteed to be one of the ones that has a giant button on it like these

        Show

        like even if you had never seen one before, I would never think anyone under the age of <10 would go "is this where I get water"???? HAS TO BE BAIT

          Not to mention apparently downing half a water bottle before noticing something was off.

          why would it be bait, it just seems like a story probably told about a time they were half unaware and or drunk already

            i know its very "nothing ever happens" to say something is bait but it really just feels like bait to me lol. I mean, its just the idea of putting your waterbottle down ontop of the grate that collects the dripping butter and going "yeah this is clearly a water dispenser" before pressing the button. I can buy them doing it mistakenly - but not realizing they were drinking butter water??? no way lol

              tbh I would do this if I hadn't slept enough or something. alternatively the butter was just really fucked up or they mistook it for butter when the water just tasted weird

        weird carnivore bullshit

        Keto, too, but you'd blend it into coffee and it comes out kind of like a caffe breve. It's fine if you use unsalted butter, and as long as you don't go overboard with the butter (read: keep the whole shebang under about 200 calories, including any other mix-ins, e.g., cocoa powder), that concoction can help keep you in a fasting state for most of the day.

        You obviously wouldn't use movie theater pump margarine for that, though, unless you were on day 3 or 4 of Carnivore Diet-induced constipation and needed to trigger the bloody meat-shits for some god-awful reason.

          It's called bulletproof coffee and my cat made it for me once. No joke, I have a chemex and kept the butter on the shelf above and he was (probably still is; adopted foster) a fan of knocking things off surfaces. It wasn't bad.

      I think I know where the mix-up is:

      She's an expert ON break dancing. She's an academic, specifically break dancing and US urban culture in Australia.

      Australia: "Get us an expert break dancer"

      Intern: "Getting an expert on break dancing, got it"

    I saw some guys breakdance in the early 90s in the French Quarter of New Orleans and it was mind blowing.

    this was like some lighting test footage for the scene in Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: The Secret of the Ooze when Vanilla Ice "raps", but for this camera they let the white kid who won a cereal box contest hump the floor to music.

      Looks like it got taken down by a copyright strike.

      I don't know if this is the same clip, but here's someone who took a phone video of their TV:
