Surgery to make your face more feminine. Yes it is expensive, but fully changing your gender is expensive so this can settle the debate about trans people in the Fails thread.
When you watch a YouTube channel - not just one video, but the channel; one video after another - what happens to your time? Well, one way of thinking about it is that you're time is being spent, but to really answer this question, we need to look at T.V..
We've all heard of ratings; it's how networks, tv stations, and interested people in general know if a show is popular and, when it comes to ratings, bigger is better. Ratings are a percentage of all of the people watching TV when the show you want to track is on, but that system breaks down when it comes to distribution methods like YouTube where the "shows" aren't broadcast at a set time. Normally, YouTube videos are measured in terms of "Views", but that doesn't work well when we're just talking about one person.
There is one term from television that does work, though, and that's "retention". When you stay on one TV channel, watching one program after another, your viewing, your rating point, becomes "retained". When you become a retained viewer, this tells the channel that you not only like one show, but the programming of the channel on the whole. This applies to YouTube channels too.
So, the next time you're wondering what happened to your time after watching a YouTube Channel, don't feel bad; you just retained it.
I'd make a joke about the guys in that video being Halifax Rap Legends, but it's been done. Also, I think I just betrayed my appalling lack of knowledge about Canadian geography.
The House did something. It still needs to get through the Senate. Remember the gun control bill with a %90 approval rating? Yeah, that could happen to this.

Touche, Amazon.

It has complimentary images of hunky men and cats. The image selection is like a work of art in its own right.
Behind the scenes:
I was reminded that Vsauce exists today. Goodbye, productivity.

And as always, thanks for watching.
It even comes with a few brief notes. Which I'll improve either at request or as I feel I need to.
