That guy who was knocked out and ended up at a table with a wife and kid, I've heard of being "knocked into the middle of next week" but that was ridiculous

My grandpa (mom's dad) was not a hug/kissy man, he showed his affection my delicately grabbing and shoving your ears. He died before having a grandson from one of his sons who would carry his last name. One year after, his son named after him had a son, who was also named as himself and grandpa. On his christening day, I was a teenager and had a discussion with my mom (this time, I was actually right), but we left to the event... when we were there, I grabbed my baby cousin, he just put his head on my shoulder and started playing with my ear... I freaked the hell out

He's now in college, looks exactly like grandpa in his youth.

Remeber having an odd experience like this. Never mentioned it because it was a silly thing.

When I was about 9 or 10, I fell asleep infront of the television late one weekend night while watching cartoons and had an odd dream featuring an Ed, Edd n' Eddy episode I hadn't seen before.
I specifically remember the last few minutes in Episode 10b, Season 3 (had to look it up to confirm), where the Eds run into Eddy's room in a panic about Eddy's brother only to find Eddy's brother in his closet.
Turns out it was Ed's sister and Jimmy who had pretended to be Eddy's brother to give the Eds their comeuppance for that particular episode.)
Next morning I woke up, tv still on and figured I had watched the episode as I fell asleep so I remebered bits of it as a dream. Wierd but not too wierd.

A couple of weeks later that channel announces "All new Episode of Ed Edd n' Eddy this weekend!" The ad featured a few clips from the new episodes and one looked very familiar...
The episode I saw in my dream was one of the new episodes, it hadn't aired yet in my country, was going to air that very weekend.

I watched the episode when it aired later to confirm and yes, it was the same as the one from my dream. Word for word. The other episodes were new to me and I was glad for it. I had watched so many reruns of the same seasons that I was eager to see the new episodes.

It's silly I know and most likely I had simply watched an episode while falling asleep so my brain dream-tuned it in. Still, that particular episode hadn't air yet or wasn't suppose to and definitely not on the late night rerun schedule.
Felt like a waste of a prophetic dream.

tl:dr Young me had a precognition of an Ed, Edd n' Eddy episode weeks before it aired.

I'm pretty sure those were a phenomenon called "lightning balls" I don't really understand how they work. If you wanna know, look 'em up.

My Pc shut down exactly at the moment I clicked on the Video, for no appeared reason.

I'm watching on my Phone...

12:26 It sounds like the explosion that happened in Russia. When it was nighttime and a giant ball of red and yellow light was cast across the skies

Bit unrelated, but it seems a lot of things just so happen to align for me. Like, not literally, but like, I'll have been doing something new, do it for a while, and then it turns out I'm doing it wrong the whole time, but it just so happens to be having the same results.
Or, (I like building games, like Minecraft for example) I'll be building something, I measure it out, and end up building it. But, I accidentally mismeasure, so I think it's 8 blocks instead of 9. But then, I miscounted when placing blocks or something and it ends up being 9 blocks.
Might be kinda confusing, sorry.

My younger sons father, a mutual friend & myself stepped out in the back yard to have a cigarette... I noticed what looked like red flares in the sky, though they weren't falling... I said "look at these flares" & we watched them for a good 10 mins & then they both shoot to our right super fast & disappeared into the clouds... That was the 2nd time in my life I saw the red lights in the sky... The first time was when I was 14 & was dropped off from babysitting. They were off in the distance behind my house. I ran inside to tell my mom about the red light in the sky that wasn't moving. We went outside & it was gone... 👽
