Art.  Well, you gotta give this person points for originality.  It's Spongebob Squarepants, drawn in the style of Medieval Japan.  Or maybe it's just an excuse to use my new "Art" tag 🖼.  Do you see a little Mona Lisa in the tag?

Libertarian trainwreck.  The music is good, but the claimed connections to Modern Monetary Theory and US Elections are farcical (although I suppose the caricatures of the Fed and FOMO have some validity).  Three minutes you'll never get back.  Hey, isn't it cute how the text wraps around the 📹 icon and then wraps around the "two guys sitting" image?  It doesn't?  Try making your window narrower or increasing text zoom.

Food.  Americans prefer lighter yolk colours, so their factory chickens are fed corn.  A "normal" egg from a small-scale farm (where chickens eat bugs) is shown for comparison.
