1. Bon appétit. BA has been a major inspiration for me to get into cooking. They strike an excellent balance between interesting, informational, instructive, and entertaining that a lot of food channels struggle with.
2. If you are missing sports, Jelle’s marble runs is very well done. They have all sorts of marble “competitions” Choose a marble/team to root for and it can be fun!
3. Last Week Tonight covers comedic deep dives on really small things in the news. If you want to see Zazu dunk on a coal tycoon and then get sued, and then dunk on the guy for doing that, this is your show. There’s also a suprising number of pyrotechnics early on, and the wackiness just gets more and more elaborate.
4. Binging with Babish is a cooking show that teaches cooking basics and creates dishes from shows and movies. I legitimately learned how to cook just from watching his videos.
5. Buzzfeed Unsolved Supernatural. Don’t let the Buzzfeed name turn you off, it’s like Ghost Adventures except one guy really believes ghosts and demons are real and the other guy really thinks it’s all bullshit. Hilarious show.
6. Translator Fails. She puts songs (and other stuff, but mostly songs) through too many Google translate layers, and then tries to sing them to the original tune. It’s hysterical. Would 400% recommend.
7. Jubilee. They do a lot of segments where they bring people that are a part of a particular group (i.e.—Atheists, Christians, pro-lifers, pro-choice, teen moms, trans people, etc) and ask controversial questions that they have to answer or agree/disagree with and explain their answers. It limitless and there are sooo many categories and situations. It’s very intriguing to hear how people think and to see people of seemingly opposing sides able to come together peacefully (sometimes) and discuss their points of view.
8. DOCTOR MIKE.
He’s an incredible board-certified family physician with great medical meme reviews, discussing topics such as keeping people updated with the COVID-19 pandemic, discussing diets that work and don’t work, he has an amazing sense of humor, he’s got a big Newfoundland dog called Bear that he refers to as a pup and “little guy,” when he’s beyond that point.
HE PLAYS GAMES, REVIEWS MEDICAL SHOWS, ANIME TOO, what else can I say to sell it to you all that he is an amazing source of facts and staying true to keeping it honest on his YouTube? Uhhh, he’s fairly attractive and well dressed?
Look, as someone who wants to be in the medical field someday, the way he speaks with pride and enjoyment of his work sells it for me because I have always loved the medical field since I was a kid, now, I’m more knowledgeable in things I’d never know if he hasn’t shared his knowledge.
9. Hot Ones – guy is really good at interviewing people and there’s hundreds of episodes.

13. You can find a lot of full BBC documentaries on YouTube. They are well made and many are nearly an hour long. I’m currently on the 7th episode of the History of the World, it’s fascinating!
14. Sam O’ Nella is good for informational videos that are also quite funny. Lot of colorful language, though.
A personal favorite is Mustard. More informational videos, but related to aviation and has spicy CG graphics and an engaging format.

16. Safiya Nygaard, because she’s ridiculous. She does a lot of clickbaity things but she does them legit and with weird results.
17. DAILY DOSE OF INTERNET. I could watch it for an entire day and never get bored. If you don’t know what it is, it’s a channel that shows you a collection of short videos that can range from being cute, funny, mind blowing, satisfying, and cool. Seriously if you have never seen it, get on it.

thoughtcatalog--2020-03-23--30 Signs You Aren’t Drop Dead Gorgeous But You Aren’t Ugly Either

1 .
I don ’ t get hit on often but never get turned down either .
2 .
People don ’ t go out of their way to try and get with me , but they are shocked to learn that no one else has “ snatched me up yet.
” 3 .
People don ’ t really pursue me and I don ’ t get much attention in public , but anyone who gets with me is pretty pleased about it .
4 .
You ’ re basically invisible to everyone , they ’ re not disgusted by @ @ @ @ @ @ @ either .
5 .
People compliment me all the time for my appearance but I ’ m NEVER hit on even in passing .
So I figure one of two things could logically be the case .
Either I ’ m average , or I put off a vibe that says “ never fuck or date this person.
” 6 .
People are neutral and polite .
No people acting giggly/shy around you or approaching you ; no people repulsed by you/avoiding you .
7 .
Major differences in how many dates/hook-ups you @ @ @ @ @ @ @ confident .
I feel like really attractive people don ’ t need this .
Really ugly people can ’ t get as much of a return through it .
But average people can make a big difference and even get people out of their league .
8 .
Hot people find you plain looking and not dating material , meanwhile “ below average ” people think you ’ re really hot .
Average looking people just ignore you unless there ’ s some attraction there .
9 .
People occasionally look at me @ @ @ @ @ @ @ trying to gauge if I ’ m attractive or not .
This has lead to a few awkward conversations that usually end with the vibe of , “ You ’ re not good looking enough for the amount of work required.
” 10 .
You get compliments from some people but ultimately your best quality is “ your sense of humor.
” 11 .
A lot of men find me extraordinarily attractive , but they all think that makes them unique .
12 .
You ’ re just attractive enough to be a @ @ @ @ @ @ @ or a middle of the road person ’ s regular hookup , but not attractive enough for them to date .
13 .
People aren ’ t really attracted to me until they get to know me a bit .
14 .
Lots of likes on my selfies , more than any of my other photos , but no one checks me out in real life .
So I ’ m photogenic , but in real life I ’ m meh .
15 .
I get complimented on my looks semi regularly but @ @ @ @ @ @ @ romantically .
16 .
People have been attracted to me before so I can ’ t be that bad .
But like , not many people , so can ’ t be that great either .
17 .
You get told that you have a “ girl next door ” kind of beauty .
18 .
I can look really pretty at some angles but I know in general I do not look like that .
19 .
I get laid a lot but I really have to work at it .
20 @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , people tell you you ’ re pretty and have nothing to worry about .
Yet no one asks you out or you ’ re their second choice .
21 .
A couple guys have asked me out sheepishly , but the very bold and loud ones never hit on me .
I guess I ’ m attractive enough if you take into account my personality , but if some fuckboy sees me for the first time , he wouldn ’ t bother .
22 .
I get a good amount of attention @ @ @ @ @ @ @ I ’ m out in public by myself .
But if I ’ m out with someone hotter than me , THEY get all the attention .
23 .
Many people staring at me , but not everybody .
24 .
Being told I have quote , “ a friendly face ” or “ an approachable face ” .
25 .
A dude once said I was a Missouri 10 but an LA 6 .
26 .
I can ’ t get away with having annoying personality traits as easily as someone who @ @ @ @ @ @ @ likely to let other flaws go ) .
Whereas I have absolutely ( ashamedly ) let go of things I found irritating about someone who was ridiculously attractive .
27 .
Your opposite sex friends exclaim how attractive you are , but only when you have a significant other and not when you ’ re single .
28 .
People aren ’ t constantly hyping me up on Instagram but I still get compliments from friends frequently .
29 .
Nobody really notices you in a group of people .
30 .
When @ @ @ @ @ @ @ is really attractive it ’ s easy to see you aren ’ t treated the same way .

If you relate to these people from Ask Reddit, then you’re more attractive than you think.

10. You get compliments from some people but ultimately your best quality is “your sense of humor.”
11. A lot of men find me extraordinarily attractive, but they all think that makes them unique.
12. You’re just attractive enough to be a hot person’s one night stand or a middle of the road person’s regular hookup, but not attractive enough for them to date.
13. People aren’t really attracted to me until they get to know me a bit.
14. Lots of likes on my selfies, more than any of my other photos, but no one checks me out in real life. So I’m photogenic, but in real life I’m meh.
15. I get complimented on my looks semi regularly but no one’s interested in me romantically.
16. People have been attracted to me before so I can’t be that bad. But like, not many people, so can’t be that great either.
17. You get told that you have a “girl next door” kind of beauty.
18. I can look really pretty at some angles but I know in general I do not look like that.
19. I get laid a lot but I really have to work at it.
20. When you talk about your insecurities, people tell you you’re pretty and have nothing to worry about. Yet no one asks you out or you’re their second choice.
21. A couple guys have asked me out sheepishly, but the very bold and loud ones never hit on me. I guess I’m attractive enough if you take into account my personality, but if some fuckboy sees me for the first time, he wouldn’t bother.
22. I get a good amount of attention from the opposite sex, particularly when I’m out in public by myself. But if I’m out with someone hotter than me, THEY get all the attention.
I accept my place in society.
23. Many people staring at me, but not everybody.
24. Being told I have quote, “a friendly face” or “an approachable face”.
25. A dude once said I was a Missouri 10 but an LA 6.
26. I can’t get away with having annoying personality traits as easily as someone who is model-level hot (people are less likely to let other flaws go).
Whereas I have absolutely (ashamedly) let go of things I found irritating about someone who was ridiculously attractive.
27. Your opposite sex friends exclaim how attractive you are, but only when you have a significant other and not when you’re single.
28. People aren’t constantly hyping me up on Instagram but I still get compliments from friends frequently.
29. Nobody really notices you in a group of people.
30. When you are hanging out with someone who is really attractive it’s easy to see you aren’t treated the same way.

thoughtcatalog--2020-03-24--A Regular Girl’s Guide To Every Kind Of False Lashes

I am not a makeup artist .
I ’ m just a girl with enough time and determination to watch several Youtube videos and the gaul to assume I will look just as good as those artists .
I can never tell what would actually look good on me , so I ’ m always wary when it comes to branching out in my makeup routine .
Something I ’ ve always loved , though , is fake eyelashes .
It seems to be the key to bringing the glamour and class to any makeup look .
But which ones @ @ @ @ @ @ @ but effortless to use as well ?
I tried on 6 different types of false eyelashes to compare .
For reference , here is a picture of me with no eyelashes or mascara on .
Now , let ’ s lash .
Wispies have been my go-to lashes for a reason .
They are tapered to be shorter on the inside and longer on the outside , so it doesn ’ t crowd your inner eye , and I like the winged look at the end .
I always feel like Cindy Lou @ @ @ @ @ @ @ way .
They ’ re also long but pretty sparse , so it ’ s not super dramatic .
These are good for if you want a little glam but you ’ re not used to wearing big lashes yet .
These are SO soft .
They aren ’ t as tapered as the wispies , but they still have the same eye-opening effect .
If Wispies were beginner lashes , I ’ d say the faux mink would be intermediate .
These came in bundles of three lashes instead of being a @ @ @ @ @ @ @ so excited to try these because I thought that I ’ d be able to get super close to my lash line and they would look more natural .
I did get them close , but they look anything but natural .
The bundles didn ’ t lay nicely together , and I couldn ’ t figure out how to make it look right .
I thought I was going to give myself at-home eyelash extensions like all the pretty rich girls have been getting , and I thought wrong .
I could @ @ @ @ @ @ @ to look nice or how many to put on .
It was a nice little oomph , but it was way too much work for the same effect that I could have gotten with several coats of mascara .
I tried on the most ridiculous lashes I could find and I fell in love .
I felt like if I blinked to fast I would be taken up into the clouds .
Are these functional ?
No .
Will I ever wear them in public ?
Probably not .
But I *will* be @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Bambi .
WOW .
Omg WOW WOW WOW .
People are not talking enough about magnetic lashes .
They were so simple to use ( the eyeliner is magnetic and the lash band has magnets along it to stick to ) which means you could move them if you messed up ( a godsend since lash glue is a fickle bitch ) .
Not only were they the easiest to put on , they also looked the best by far .
I could not recommend these enough .
No matter which lashes you @ @ @ @ @ @ @ tips : • Keep your eyes open when you put them on .
Just like eyeliner , it ’ ll give you a better idea of what they ’ ll actually look like .
• Cut the lashes to fit your eyelid .
With the exception of the magnetic lashes ( the only drawback ) , you can hold the lash up to your eye to see where they would look best .
Then , cut from the inner corner instead of the outer corner .
You don ’ t want to mess @ @ @ @ @ @ @ !
• Be patient with the glue .
Whether you are squeezing it on or waiting for it to dry , it ’ s better to wait and apply once than rush it and then ruin your makeup and then start crying because you have to do it all over again .

I am not a makeup artist. I’m just a girl with enough time and determination to watch several Youtube videos and the gaul to assume I will look just as good as those artists. I can never tell what would actually look good on me, so I’m always wary when it comes to branching out in my makeup routine. Something I’ve always loved, though, is fake eyelashes. It seems to be the key to bringing the glamour and class to any makeup look. But which ones are not only effortless to look at but effortless to use as well? I tried on 6 different types of false eyelashes to compare.
For reference, here is a picture of me with no eyelashes or mascara on. Now, let’s lash.
Wispies
Wispies have been my go-to lashes for a reason. They are tapered to be shorter on the inside and longer on the outside, so it doesn’t crowd your inner eye, and I like the winged look at the end. I always feel like Cindy Lou Who wearing these. In a good way. They’re also long but pretty sparse, so it’s not super dramatic. These are good for if you want a little glam but you’re not used to wearing big lashes yet.
Faux Mink
These are SO soft. They aren’t as tapered as the wispies, but they still have the same eye-opening effect. If Wispies were beginner lashes, I’d say the faux mink would be intermediate.
Individual Trios
These came in bundles of three lashes instead of being a whole band of lashes. I was so excited to try these because I thought that I’d be able to get super close to my lash line and they would look more natural. I did get them close, but they look anything but natural. The bundles didn’t lay nicely together, and I couldn’t figure out how to make it look right.
Individual Lashes
I thought I was going to give myself at-home eyelash extensions like all the pretty rich girls have been getting, and I thought wrong. I could quite figure out how to get them to look nice or how many to put on. It was a nice little oomph, but it was way too much work for the same effect that I could have gotten with several coats of mascara.
Dramatic Lashes
I tried on the most ridiculous lashes I could find and I fell in love. I felt like if I blinked to fast I would be taken up into the clouds. Are these functional? No. Will I ever wear them in public? Probably not. But I *will* be taking 100 boomerangs of myself blinking like Bambi.
Magnetic Lashes
WOW. Omg WOW WOW WOW. People are not talking enough about magnetic lashes. They were so simple to use (the eyeliner is magnetic and the lash band has magnets along it to stick to) which means you could move them if you messed up (a godsend since lash glue is a fickle bitch). Not only were they the easiest to put on, they also looked the best by far. I could not recommend these enough.
No matter which lashes you end up choosing, here are some tips:

Horror movies are known for sex and nudity, and collected here are some of the most steamy, bizarre, and titillating, sex scenes ever.
The horror genre is often associated with gratuitous nudity and superfluous sex scenes. But what does nudity have to do with horror? And what does sexual arousal have to do with fear?
Say what you want about Friday the 13th (2009), but this remake knows exactly what fans of the series expect.
Apparently a lot, because there are countless sex scenes in scary movies. Perhaps the reason is that eroticism and death are actually intwined in human nature. After all, sexual reproduction creates new life while our own bodies are inching ever closer towards death. But maybe sex is included in horror because people are at their most vulnerable when they are making love. Or maybe the sex is just there to titillate the audience.
Scream (1996) riffs on the well-worn cliches of horror, including the idea that anyone who has sex in a slasher movie will die.
Whatever the reason, sex scenes are a staple of horror cinema. These scenes may be funny, horrifying, feminist, or misogynistic, and a few are even romantic and steamy. Listed here are some of the horror genre’s greatest sex scenes. Get ready for sexual intensity on all levels.
Best Horror Sex Scenes
Jess Franco’s vampire flick starts with an intense lesbian scene.
Vampires are the sexiest of all mythical horror creatures, and in this German horror flick things are indeed sexual. While the movie is laden with nudity and bizarre sex scenes, the opening sequence leaves a memorable impression on all viewers. It begins with a woman erotically dancing in front of a mirror who then proceeds to seduce a woman pretending to be a mannequin. It also turns out this whole sexual performance is happening at a public art show.
The character of Ilona (Andrea Rau) was styled after jazz-age actress Louise Brooks.
Daughters of Darkness is an erotic horror movie from Belgian director Harry Kümel. It is based on the vampiric legend of Elizabeth Bathory, a Hungarian countess who is said to have killed hundreds of women and bathed in their blood in order to retain her youth. Set in modern times, Daughters of Darkness is about a newlywed couple who encounter Bathory and her secretary Ilona while on their honeymoon in Belgium. The husband is seduced by Bathory and Ilona, leading to a memorable, adulterous sex scene that starts out tender but ends in screaming and death.
Natalie Perry and Jean-Pierre Bouyxou star in this odd movie.
The Demoniacs is an obscure French horror film that falls somewhere between a rape-and-revenge exploitation movie and softcore porn. The movie is about two women seeking revenge after being assaulted by a gang of criminals on a beach. You can take your pick from the numerous sex scenes in the movie for which one you think is the best, but the most important is when one of the women has sex with the Devil (while the other woman watches) in order to gain the magical powers they need to destroy their enemies. There is also a woman in clown makeup who assists a man overseeing the ruins where the Devil is held captive. The Demoniacs is quite strange.
A serial killer movie with a sexual and surprising ending.
Sleepaway Camp is one of those summer camp movies where just about everyone winds up dead, but at this summer camp, everyone seems hornier than usual. We won’t describe the final scene; it has to be watched to be believed. It’s also a pretty good movie and worth a watch. One critic on Rotten Tomatoes describes the film as “an atypical slasher movie that blurs the lines between high and low art, good and bad acting, male and female, proficiency and ineptitude, sophistication and primitivism.”
The nurse scene in Dream Warriors is one of the more gratuitous examples of nudity in the entire Nightmare on Elm Street series.
While the original Nightmare on Elm Street (1984) by Wes Craven had relatively few sexual references and was quite tame sexually when compared to other 80s horror movies, A Nightmare on Elm Street 3: Dream Warriors is quite different. The movie, which was not directed by Craven, takes place mostly inside a psychiatric hospital where teens from Elm Street are dealing with their Freddy Krueger nightmares. One of the patients, Joey, has a crush on a nurse, so the teen boy dreams about the nurse stripping down to a white thong and getting into bed with him. Unfortunately for Joey, the nurse actually Freddy in disguise.
Italian star Monica Bellucci appears as a bride of Dracula in one of her first film role.
Bram Stoker’s Dracula is a visually stunning take on the classic novel that is rich with sensuality. Trying to determine the best sex scene in Francis Ford Coppola’s movie really comes down to what you’re into. Early in the movie, Jonathan Harker (Keanu Reeves) is seduced by Dracula’s brides is a scene filled with nudity and biting in very sensitive places. For those of you looking for something different, later in the film Lucy (Sadie Frost), while under Dracula’s (Gary Oldman) influence, gives herself sexually to Dracula while he is in the form of a werewolf.
Scream blatantly defies expectations, including the idea of a virginal final girl in slasher movies.
Wes Craven’s self-aware slasher film contains a sex scene that pokes fun of all the gratuitous nature of sex and nudity in the horror genre. In what is considered one of the most cerebral sex scenes in horror cinema, and certainty one of the biggest teases, we see Sidney (Neve Campbell) begin to take of her top, but as she does, the film cuts to a bunch of teenagers watching John Carpenter’s Halloween (1978). The teens watching the movie inside the movie see a bit of nudity on screen (of actress P. J. Soles), but those of us watching Scream see no toplessness at all.
Patrick Bateman only has eyes for himself in the threesome scene from American Psycho.
Director Mary Harron adapted Bret Easton Ellis’s disturbing novel American Psycho into a surreal cult classic. The movie is dark, absurd, comedic and perhaps even sexy if you think lead actor Christian Bale is attractive as a psychopathic serial killer. The sex scene that became so famous is when Bale’s character Patrick Bateman invites two prostitutes to his Manhattan apartment and makes a film of them having sex. What made the scene so popular was the fact that Bale’s character is more interested in watching himself in the mirror than actually having sex.
In this horror comedy, a woman discovers her body has a rather violent defense mechanism in response to sexual assault.
Teeth, directed by filmmaker Mitchell Lichtenstein, is the story of a woman named Dawn (Jess Weixler) who has a real-life case of the mystical condition known as vagina dentata— a vagina that has teeth. Dawn is taken advantage of by various people throughout the movie, but she makes sure none of them will ever take advantage of anyone ever again. In one particularly memorable sex scene, Dawn takes revenge on her horrible stepbrother by using her teeth-filled vagina to “bite” off his penis in the middle of a sexual encounter.
Jennifer’s Body features a famous kissing scene.
The lesbian sex and kissing scene between Megan Fox and Amanda Seyfried in Jennifer’s Body was heavily marketed and hyped when the movie first came out. In fact, the movie was marketed mostly towards horny guys. The reality is that this sex scene was just a small slice of the movie, and later reception saw Jennifer’s Body as more of a feminist manifesto. Nevertheless, the two-minute love scene lives in infamy as one of the most famous erotic moments in horror cinema.
Amanda Seyfried (as Anita “Needy” Lesnicki) has said the kissing scene is “actually really sexy.”
Megan Fox also recalls that the sex scene was not sexy at all to film. Here is what she had to say about it:
I remember Amanda and I were horrified that we had to make out. Her more so than me. I was slightly more comfortable being able to do it. She was not excited about having to film that scene at all. I remember we were both stressed out because we had chin acne and there was gonna be this micro-close-up of us kissing. [I remember thinking] ‘They have to paint that out!’ I don’t even know if they did, but that was a very stressful scene for the two of us.
Eva Green says the sex scene in Dark Shadows is a metaphor for the love/hate relationship between the two characters.
Tim Burton’s Dark Shadows is a film adaptation of the gothic TV show of the same name. While TV shows, at least those that aired before the days of streaming, aren’t known for steamy sex scenes, this version features Johnny Depp and Eva Green in a mind-blowing love scene. Barnabas (Depp) is a vampire, Angie (Green) is a witch, and they go at it incredibly strong in the film, flying around and smashing everything in a room while they copulate.
Sex in the morgue? It happens in this direct-to-video horror film.
Directed by the Soska sisters, See No Evil 2 is a slasher film that was released directly to home video. It merges horror and sex well in a scene that is a clear display of necrophilia (sexual attraction to corpses). In the scene, Tamara (Katharine Isabelle) and Carter (Lee Majdoub) leave their group of friends to search for the dead body of serial killer Jacob Goodnight (Glenn Jacobs, aka Kane). They find Jacob, and Tamara, who is obsessed with death and killers, gets aroused by the corpse. Tamara and Carter proceed to do the deed near Jacob, but the gigantic mass murderer isn’t quite as dead as they thought.
Chocking is explored as a sexual fetish in this movie.
Here is how the Parent’s Guide describes this sex scene: “A man discovers that he enjoys being choked. A woman chokes him and he chokes her in return. This leads to a briefly-seen sex scene in which both characters are seen to be nude, but the actors’ bodies are arranged in a way that no nudity is seen.” The film is about two thieves who break into a house which they get stuck in. They then start a romantic relationship as they enter a hostage situation with the home’s house sitter. The genre is more comedy with some horror and home invasion elements, but the sex scene is memorable because of how silly it is.
Midsommar is an A24 film with one of the most intense impregnation scenes in film history.
Midsommar, directed by Ari Aster, has one of the most bizarre, humiliating and mind-bending sex scenes in horror movie history. A man is subjected to a sex ritual with a woman (who previously baked him a pie with her pubic hair in it). The sex ritual also involves many other people from the commune, including the woman’s family. The actor who was in the scene, Jack Reynor, said in an interview: “Every day, going to work and shooting something that is incredibly humiliating and upsetting personally and thinking about yourself in the context of it and trying to put yourself in the position of it…it was hard-core.” The scene is certainly a disturbing highlight of a movie that meshes romance, fairy tales, and breaking up into one masterpiece of a film.
More Scary Horror Film Sex Scenes
Cannibal Holocaust (1980) It’s hard to pick one scene from this disturbing gore-fest of a film; but perhaps one of the least horrifying scenes of sex is when two two members of an American film crew have sex in front of an entire rainforest tribe after having terrorized them and burned down most of their village.
An American Werewolf in London (1981) Van Morrison provides the soundtrack for this sex scene where actor David Naughton has sex with his nurse in the shower while in the hospital.
The Hunger (1983) Although the film is packed with sex, the most memorable scene is the one where a female doctor named Sarah gets hot and heavy with a female ingenue named Miriam for some steamy girl-on-girl vampire sex.
Tetsuo: The Iron Man (1989) In this Japanese cyberpunk/ body horror movie, a man discovers that his penis has transformed into a giant power drill which, understandably, isn’t a great discovery for his girlfriend.
Antichrist (2009) This movie starts with an unbelievably horrifying scene that intercuts unsimulated sex (with body doubles for the actors) with a little boy falling to his death. The movie also contains nauseating sexual violence in its later stages. Antichrist is not for the weak of heart.
Reel Evil (2010) This horror movie features a sex scene recorded on a camcorder. If you buy the DVD, the deleted scenes contain a moment with full frontal nudity.
Cabin in the Woods (2012) The standout sex scene involves Chris Hemsworth and Anna Hutchinson having sex in the woods, only to be attacked by zombies.
