Kurzgesagt: "You died."

[Talstutu]

[jeremyahn]

"I'm Rick Astley?"

"And everyone who has ever been Rickrolled."

[Sootball]

I think about this video often, since I first watched it in 2019. I think about it when I'm out in public. I think about it when I argue with someone, or when I feel frustrated about a person. This video pops in my mind, and it's like a brief respite from the anger or negative feelings.

*Must be tiring having to explain that to me every time I die.*

[dixienormus]

“So i’m the pretty best friend?”

“and the ugly one too”

[shadowkai]

This might be my favorite video from Kurzgesagt. I can't believe it has been 4 years... I will soon go to college, and the first time I saw this video I wasn't even in high school. Time passes by fast, but we all have to do our best in life so we don't regret it. My grandpa told me something before he died, "Live your life to the fullest, take all the opportunities you encounter because you might not see them again. And, most importantly, live a life you'll never forget." This struck me to my core and made me realize life has downs and ups. Stop complaining about your problems, and take action.

[ilmanahmad]

"wait, i'm the astronaut that shot me from behind?"


"Always has been"

[__jay__]

Kurzgesagt:You were in a car accident. You died.

Me: ah shit, here we go again.
