What To Watch On YouTube Right Now – Part 152

Welcome back my readers, YouTube viewers and all others who followed this series of articles focused on YouTube videos worth watching.

Have you been searching for something fun or interesting to watch on YouTube? Do you feel bored right now and you crave for something to see on the world’s most popular online video destination?

I recommend you check out the following videos I found.

#1 Focus on Kevin McHale – It has been more than thirty years since Kevin McHale retired from the NBA. McHale was one of the premier power forwards of the NBA in 1980s and even though he won the Sixth Man Award and three NBA championships with Celtics (he formed the nucleus with Larry Bird and Robert Parish), he has been overlooked in discussions about the most notable power forwards of the league. McHale was also declared as one of the greatest NBA players ever. That said, now is a good time to revisit NBA history with focus on McHale and what he achieved.

#2 NiGHTS into Dreams…revisited – Way back in 1996, Sega released NiGHTS into Dreams… which was a very ambitious Sega Saturn video game made by the same key creators behind the popular Sonic games on Sega Genesis. Back in the old days, Sega was in a bind as it faced tough competition from Nintendo and Sony. That said, the company really had to make an exclusive game that is of very high quality, fun-filled gameplay and ambitious creative designs. That said, I encourage you all to watch the retrospective video about NiGHTS into Dreams… below.

https://youtu.be/18kh1M-2Dw8?si=a9M6DG4HW-9O0pfM

#3 Ashleigh Burton reacts to The Animatrix – When it comes to entertainment in the year of 2003, The Matrix entertainment franchise really left its mark with the two hyped sequels The Matrix Reloaded and The Matrix Revolutions but also with the video game Enter The Matrix and the animated anthology The Animatrix. Released between the two live-action movies, The Animatrix featured several animated short stories of the Matrix universe done by different creators and each had different styles of art and visual concepts. The Animatrix also was designed to expand and explain the lore that delighted the fans while helping newcomers get oriented efficiently. As of this writing, there are several YouTube reaction videos about The Animatrix and the one that entertained me the most was that of Ashleigh Burton. Go watch her reaction video below.

#4 Japan opposes Islamic immigration – Let us be very clear here. Massive Islamic immigration is causing a lot of trouble in countries that accepted it. In Japan there is an obvious rise of criminal acts, public nuisance and other forms of problems caused by Islamist foreigners there. There were already rape acts committed by Pakistani men, a dumping of garbage committed by a man from Turkey and more. It is also obvious that the Muslim foreigners in Japan have no respect for Japanese culture, rules and social norms. As such, the Japanese opposition against the Islamist foreigners is real and only growing. Watch and learn from the video below.

https://youtu.be/–c72np5F6c?si=AIZ7rsKN7iTBwAgD

#5 You, Me and the Movies react to Alligator (1980) – As a very young boy, I saw the 1980 film Alligator on a rented Betamax tape. I saw it alone during my first viewing, and later got a few friends to watch it with me on my second viewing. Alligator was one of those monster movies (AKA creature features) inspired by Steven Spielberg’s Jaws as several movie producers hoped to cash-in on the 1975 film’s popularity and the box office trends of the time. Alligator has its own charm and entertainment value, and you can discover more by watching the reaction video of You, Me and the Movies below.

#6 Woke WNBA Slammed by NBA Legends – When the Women’s National Basketball Association (WNBA) first launched in 1997, there was excitement and hope for the development of women competing in professional basketball. Today, the WNBA remains an enduring financial failure as it never came close to the NBA in terms of mainstream importance. Worse, the WNBA has turned woke and it is very accepting towards biological males who identified themselves as women. The transgender and social justice diseases are deep in the minds of the people leading the WNBA which led to the growing madness. Recently, the WNBA’s hypocrisy has been exposed and already there were NBA legends who expressed their opinions against the screwed-up league. Watch and learn from the video below.

https://youtu.be/1a35uWCuoKo?si=1lVlDH14fkhsoiRH

#7 Premium Corn Craze in Japan – Have you ever tasted corn imported from Japan? The Japanese love corn and the harvesting of corn in their country is a significant industry on its own. As such, it is not surprising that the selling of corn sourced directly from local farmers is highly pursued by locals. Japan also has several varieties of corn ensuring consumers with different tastes have something to enjoy. Watch and learn from the video below.

#8 1980s Cartoons Revisited – The way my life turned out, the 1980s will always be the most memorable decade of cartoon series (note: anime is exempted, including those that got translated for the West). The 1980s is the very decade that has significant cartoon titles like Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, G.I. Joe: A Real American Hero, The Transformers, and so much more. The said decade also has its share of other animated series that failed to attract a massive audience and ended up being obscured and forgotten. To enjoy the nostalgia of 1980s cartoons, watch the videos below.

💁🏻‍♀️ TIL: 🎸🐍 Scientists named a newly described #NewGuinea groundsnake, "Lielaphis slashi", after Guns N’ Roses guitarist Slash, for his love of #reptiles.

Herpetologist Chris Austin first spotted the 71 cm (28 in) snake during nighttime fieldwork in 2006. Genetic and ecological analysis confirmed it as a distinct #species, supporting #conservation in New Guinea’s threatened #forests.

It's marine reptile Monday!
Okay, that's not a thing, but here is an old acrylic painting from 1999 (26 years old!). It depicts a Liopleurodon breaching with an unfortunate Metriorhynchus in its jaws. It was commissioned for a TV series that was never made.

Went for the launch of the new book, "A Field Guide to Reptiles & Amphibians of Singapore" at the Library. Caught up with some nature people who I haven't seen for some time. Minister Desmond Lee was there to officially launch the book with the authors.

A fun time, and I hope to put the book to good use.

Fauna en Casa - Proyecto en pro de la adopción de mascotas creado en Vallecas 🐕🐱🐦🐇🐢

Fauna en Casa es una plataforma digital en la que cualquier asociación, refugio, protectora animales y perrera pueda compartir anuncios de adopciones (todos ellos gratuitos) con los datos de las mascotas que esperan a ser adoptada en sus centros de acogida. En esos anuncios pueden aportar todos los datos (descripción, fotos, características, detalles de adopción, datos de contacto) de tal manera que, cada mascota tenga una ficha completa y los posibles adoptantes dispongan de toda la información y los datos de contacto de una forma sencilla, accesible y rápida.

A diferencia de otras plataformas similares, Fauna en Casa abarca todo tipo de mascotas domésticas: Perros, Gatos, Cerditos, Conejos, Roedores, Pájaros, Hurones, Peces, Reptiles, animales de granja e Insectos y arácnidos.

La web es compatible con todos los dispositivos (PC, Tablets y smartphones, sean IOS o Android), dispone de un buscador avanzado y planos interactivos de Google Maps para ubicar a cada mascota en cada comunidad y se puede compartir fácilmente en las redes sociales los anuncios de mascotas en adopción, los anuncios de las categorías profesionales, las noticias y consejos del Blog y los temas del Foro (dispone de opciones para compartir en Facebook, Twitter, Google+, Fb Messenger, WhatsApp, Telegram y Line).

Las familias que quieran adoptar a una de las mascotas que se anuncian en Fauna en Casa podrán ver todos los detalles y datos de cada mascota y contactar directamente con la protectora, asociación o perrera asociada a esa mascota (por medio de los datos de contacto: email y teléfono o el formulario de correo directo de cada anuncio). Las condiciones de adopción de cada mascota son impuestas por cada protectora, asociación o perrera.

Fauna en Casa facilita de esta manera el contacto entre los posibles adoptantes y las protectoras, asociaciones o perreras y la difusión de cada caso por las redes sociales.

La web dispone a su vez de otras categorías de anuncios orientadas al sector profesional (Veterinarios, Paseadores, Peluquerías, Albergues, Establecimientos Pet Friendly, Tiendas y Eventos) sobre las cuales se realiza un cobro mínimo en cada anuncio mensualmente con el objetivo de sufragar los costes de mantenimiento de este proyecto social.

Si estás preparado para adoptar de forma responsable a una mascota y quieres llenar de alegría tu hogar, no dudes en visitar la web de Fauna en Casa, hay muchos animales esperando a ser adoptados y con mucho cariño que aportar. Os invitamos a visitar su web y redes sociales:
