Topic Wiki

If your video is not embedding, see if your link starts with "http:" - if it does, change it to "https:" and it will work.

If a video isn't embedded you should assume it may be inappropriate for some people.

How do I embed a Youtube video?
Simply post the YouTube URL.
Alternately (actually, this may no longer work):
Click the "youtube" button on the second row on the furthermost left side.
You will now have the words: [youtube][/youtube] in your editor.
Now, copy and paste the youtube video id (youtube.com/watch?v=oHg5SJYRHA0&x=y) in between the middle brackets in order for it to look like this:
    [youtube]oHg5SJYRHA0[/youtube]
and leave out this part of the link: "http://www.youtube.com/watch?v="

Or you can paste the YouTube link, highlight it, and then click on the "YouTube" button. This will encase the link in the youtube tags,
Now just click "post" and you're done!


How can I search if a video has been posted here before?
This is not foolproof, but it's a good start.
Search for the youtube ID (youtube.com/watch?v=oHg5SJYRHA0)

Common sense

They lost me by the part about jumping through a 4x7 hole onto a regular trampoline guided by his belt buckle's interaction with the earth's magnetic field.

If you want to see what it takes to do it for real:

Sick!

Snopes says it's an advertisement for a trampoline park.
If you don't care why would you comment?

This idea limits the annoying if planes you can have in the airport at once. And airports like JFK which are made on a Marsh at the edge of a city cannot be made into a circle
I'm not who you think I am.

Video quality is worse, but the original has Attenborough narrating - and he's the king of wildlife narration.

Clickbait title. Plus, anyone who watches these things and thinks they're seeing pure, uncut, unedited footage is an idiot. Anyone who doesn't realize that it's being presented to be more compelling than just watching nature unfold isn't paying attention. Bottom line, just about everything mentioned is a positive for the viewer, and doesn't make it any less authentic.

Definitely not the tone of the video, but even you took it that way, that's why I said it's a click bait title.

I was thinking of saying something in my post, but I figured I'd let the video speak for itself.

Definitely clickbaity, but nonetheless interesting how he breaks the shots down.

Meh, these are observations just about anyone who watches a full segment or two from any of their more recent series could make.

If you want to see some really interesting background on BBC Earth, check out Vox's 3 part series. Here's the first one (others should be linked if you click through to YouTube):
