What I'm pretty sure that happens: The witch kidnaps the boy's romantic interest, turns a frog into a copy of the girl (who engages in suspicious behavior, such as eating flies), to trick the boy who invaded the witch's castle to rescue the romantic interest.

What I'm not so sure that happens: I believe that is explicit that the whole situation is happening in the boy's imagination, in a Mona: The Vampire style. I believe the boy's relationship with the girl is platonic.

I cannot remembers if is a short or long movie, or an episode from a series.

I watched it dubbed into Portuguese, between 2006-2011, replayed a few times, on one of the following Brazilian television networks: TV Cultura, TV Escola or TV Futura. From my memory, the animation style was Western, but it could be an Anime. It is possibly a European animation and more possibly from Eastern Europe, because at this time TV Cultura showed a lot of animations from the 80s from those places. I find it difficult to be American because of my difficulty in finding anything about it and because American animations were not common on these channels at that time.

You see something similar in the entranceway to public bathrooms that don't have doors, where it kind of zig-zags for privacy. I'm trying to figure out what this kind of architectural feature is called. Thanks!

Edit: solved! https://youtu.be/VVQz6jE3X50?si=qkItmXh5HbkKpZ8x

So it's somewhat old, as far as video memes are concerned. I think it was a vine.

There is one guy in frame. There is a high pitched tone playing. Maybe a fire alarm or something.

The guy says something like "hey does anyone hear that? Kinda sounds like aaaaaaAAAAAA".

He attempts to mimic the obnoxious sound, too low of a pitch at first, but adjusts upwards to nearly match it right as the video ends.

He holds his arm up with his hand horizontal as if to describe the pitch of the sound as he tries.

All of this is only maybe 5-6 seconds long.

I cannot find it. I have searched high and low. Google has failed me, or rather my googling skills have failed me.

This one has been bugging me for years

I’ve watched this video I’ve seen people talk about it and make theories about it but I got nothing

Here’s all I remember

The start was a black screen with text saying something similar to

“In (some year) a tape was found on a little planet called earth the following footage you’re about to see has nothing to do with that tape”

It then cut to what appearers to be a children’s cartoon but it quickly turns into static with screaming and distorted colors and the music ramps up before ending.

I think the title was something like antamon contency.

The theory I watched about it mentioned whatever the first word of the title was shared a name with a comet that passes by earth or something similar.

Any idea what this video could have been?

I've forgotten it's name and I also think it might be referenced in one of the super Mario odyssey levels as well iirc

It's a meme, black and white, of a guy showing his "moving castle" to a woman he likes

And she says "so you live in your car?"

I don't remember the title or what sub it was in

Just send me the link if you find it.

Thanks

In my head this was Ian Kung, but I can’t find it on his channel.

The creator was trying to make a point about how broken copyright enforcement is on YouTube by basically watching cool videos and “reacting” by saying the same thing after each one loosely tailored to the content. They were all based around the phrase “my wife” or something like that.

Like “wow, what a cute lazy dog. It’s almost as lazy as my wife,” “if you think that’s a big whale, you should meet my wife,” or something to that effect.

Im looking for a video that was posted to r/youtubehaiku years ago. In the ~15 second vid a guy walks along the street and finds a coin. He says something like "wow a coin" and then starts talking and moving in slow motion. Another man appears and says "Oh youre stuck in slow time? Its because George Washington cursed that coin, there is nothing you can do, you're fucked!" Meanwhile slowmo guy is still slowly talking and looking confused. The coin was either a dime, a quarter, or a silver dollar.

I'm looking for a video where cyclist covered a car parked on a bike lane with a carpet looking like a bike lane.

I'm trying to find a sci-fi short story. Unfortunately, I do not remember anything about the author or title. It is at least a decade or two old, available for free online.

The entire story is set aboard a starship in deep space, and everyone has advanced technology (nanomachines?) that can repair tissue damage that would normally be deadly. Unfortunately, the ship is hit by a massive radiation burst, nearly killing everyone aboard, causing all kinds of damage, and contaminating much of what's left. Somehow, the worst affected have massive brain damage, and the nanomachines are driving them to instinctively seek raw materials for repairs--which can only be found in the brains of relatively intact survivors.

In short, the whole setup is basically an excuse to have space zombies. The nanomachines keep them alive even when their organs are falling out, but they're dumb and slow and they want braaaaains.

Other things I remember:

  • The protagonist is female, and was protected by the initial burst because she was working inside a large water tank.
  • The protagonist is trying to help her romantic partner, who is comatose, but it's implied they might wake up as a zombie.
  • The protagonist is trying to avoid killing the zombies when possible, because there is still a chance of curing them.
  • The protagonist is looking for raw materials that aren't radiation-contaminated, to help her partner and repair the ship.

Probably around fifteen years ago, I saw a commercial set to - I think - the "Trololo" song (or, if not, a classical song). I think it was a commercial for M&Ms, but it was at least for a similar candy - lots of small bits in a candy shell. The candies were CGI and bouncing in time with the music in a sort of liquid fashion. I haven't been able to find this commercial since!

Sorry for the vagueness. It was a long time ago. Hopefully someone can give me some guidance - thanks in advance!

[SOLVED][Game] VR RPG (discuss.tchncs.de)

Game is Journey of the Gods, for anyone else looking!

I only remember the first big fight; you had a crossbow and sword, and were fighting a tentacle thing made of black ooze on a farm. The game overall was about becoming a god, with the gods being birds and you collecting feathers to ascend.

I originally played it on the Oculus Quest.

[request] Help finding a war movie

I'm having trouble finding a movie I caught the ending of on cable TV once upon a time, and never saw again. Does anyone here recognize it?

Modern (~1990s) soldiers (the heroes) are pinned down. They rig explosives for some reason and use the radio to remote detonate them. Something goes wrong, and one of the soldiers takes a walkie talkie and walks towards the explosives, without any cover, to use it to force them to go off. He has to get very close to them. He gets shot repeatedly, and just before being fatally wounded, he yells "Blow!" And the explosives go off.

Additional information:

  • On US cable in the mid to late 1990s
  • Modern war film, with then-current tech (Desert Storm-era)
  • Soldiers are outside in rocky/deserted terrain during the daytime in above the described scene
  • walkie-talkie is a military-grade CB brick
  • Soldier is a short, young guy who I've seen in a few other movies typecast as a low-ranking soldier or officer of some kind

this was a weapon that's possibly used in medieval times (definitely long before 20th century). The main part may have been a sword and the hilt could be unscrewed or somehow used as a club. Thanks!

No particular reason for asking, but I'm about curious the name of this forum template I've been seeing a lot lately (saw it around six months ago the first time). It's basically a linear forum template where there is a timeline on the right side of the site. You can interact with it. 'Template' is probably not the right word, but you get the idea.

Examples: Logseq's forum uses it and so does Anki's forum.

Sorry I don't really have any more detail. I read this blurb about a book on either reddit or goodreads. Something about humanity discovering interstellar travel or something major like that and aliens sending a message warning humanity to stop, or else. At least that's what I remember. Any help would be appreciated. Been searching for a couple of hours and have had no luck.

A character with a messy apartment brings over a friend and the friend goes "OMG! You've been robbed!" What scene is this from?

I'm thinking it's from around the 2010s, not recent.

I just remembered a video of a attic window that opens up into a small balcony and in this specific video it drops on top of the man's head

Edit: typo

The guy tries to surprise his family by asking for a photo of the car, then plans to pop out of a fake car seat. But the plan backfires when he gets stuck. The car has a toy car glued to the hood. The request was something like "the guys don't believe I glued a toy car on the hood, can you send a pic of it" or something.

The show has mystery elements, and the episode starts with the premise that the guy is missing. I forget how popular of a show it is.

I remember there being no text or speech, some fire-extinguishers sprayed all over the place, someone hunting with a bow and arrow across an office desk.

It was in a step-by-step airliner-safety-card style of art.

First saw this about 10 years ago on some other site.

I saw a picture of my friend today and it reminded me of this image. It is a man in a suit (white suit?) with his arms stretched open, but also shoulders raised like shrugging...? Also I think that the man had his (black) hair tied back, in some kind of man bun? Every time I see this image (meme?) the man gives me some kind of mafia feeling

Does anyone have any clue what I might be talking about? Might be out of a movie or something...

Edit:

Would also like the know the type of design shown on them if anyone knows the name of that design type

Edited the title to make it clear

Can someone tell me where this sound clip is from? So far my guesses are:

  1. Everything Everywhere All At Once
  2. Avatar: The Last Airbender
