FOR THE LOVE OF GOD, PLEASE DO MORE OF THIS SUBREDDIT.

I *LOVE* seeing things like this that are either dangerous or completely bizarre, it's super interesting! Love it!

Robin is finally getting non-infuriating subreddits!

I love the lizard one because as neat as learning about it was, it means that thig guy got bit by the lizard and his reaction was to pick it up and get a picture.

I think the termite indcator works because the balls are held up by a matchstick so if termites eat the stick the green ball rolls away and the indicator goes blank

The side brushes on an escalator are to get your attention by brushing your ankle to warn you that you are too close to the edge of the escalator. This helps keep people and other objects from getting stuck in the sides of the escalator. I learned this fact YEARS AGO, but I just wanted to clear all of the rumors out there!

Jack seems like the person to do the funny subreddits like anti memes and steam reviews
Lexi seems to be good at the chaotic ones like the bad mobile game ads
And Robin seems to be an all rounder I think.

The car part one reminds me how Reddit identified a specific car that killed a woman biking on the side of the road in a hit and run by a palm sized piece found at the scene. Police found him with his car missing the exact piece and the guy admitted to it when they questioned him

6:27 Had me in TEARS, just the dead tone and how f a s t and accurate the find for model of car was. Love Car Enthusiasts and Automotive lovers just laying on some random fact or being scarily accurate to a car or vehicle to situations like these LOL

My mom's homestead has goats, and 8:16 is genuinely accurate. I even thought of a comic idea about it: A goat has his head stuck through a fence, though in the art direction, by design, you can't see the pasture behind him, only the wasteland ahead, with a wilted flower right in front of him, that he's trying to reach and eat.

Another goat walks up, asks "Yo, what you doing?"

"This flower looks yummy, but I can't reach it."

"Here, lemme try!" the other goat sticks its head through the fence too, getting stuck as well. "I can't reach it either!"

"What about you, Billy?" *They look over at a skeleton of a goat also stuck in the fence next to them.

Cut to zooming out, and their own pasture behind them is lush and green and filled with flowers just like that one.

2:20 well, thats most american thing i've ever heard about czechia

[segoeprint]

I was excited for the Czechia mention and bro just goes "somewhere, Europe" 💀

[LinkTheFusky]

8:21 they just discovered their relative is a soviet spy oh my god i love reddit 😂

[IsnuckINSIDE]

I always thought those things were like a shoe brush to clean your shoe as you go up or down

[spacebutterfly]

This is such a good subreddit! Please do more of this!

[Lemmondoodles]

1:26 This one was eventually solved after several posts on reddit, contacting the creator, and a whole lot more! Its one of the monkeys from Rio, as part of the promotional set

[chrono]

1:20 thats clearly a bear riding a squirrel

[kira_calamari]

This is one of my favorite subreddits because I'm always so baffled at how all of the commenters can just turn into detectives

[jennifermorrey]

2:01 Czechia is the official name of the Czech Republic!

[adventurekitty]

I remember this subreddit helped solve a hit and run I believe. Got the perp arrested because some guy happened to an expert at something to do with car mirrors or bumpers or something at the front of a pickup truck. (I’ve completely forgotten what piece of the car was broken off but I know it was near the front.)
Edit: 6:23 Since I posted this before finishing the video it seems there was a picture from a very similar story to the one above that made it into this video. But the story I mentioned involved a black pickup truck and woman who got hit sadly passed away.

7:32 I was giggling like a small child everytime Robin said peen
